Familiar life, tending to sordidness, had been succeeded by remote life, generally idealized historical detail had been brought in to teach readers who were being entertained.
Carl Clinton Van Doren
Image
Familiar things are a comfort to us all.
Andy Rooney
Image
Familiarity breeds contempt. How accurate that is. The reason we hold truth in such respect is because we have so little opportunity to get familiar with it.
Mark Twain
Image
Love is familiar. Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love. -
William Shakespeare
Image
The essential fault of surrealism is that it invents without discovering. To make a clam play an accordion is to invent not to discover. The observation of the unconscious, so far as it can be observed, should reveal things of which we have previously been unconscious, not the familiar things of which we have been conscious plus imagination.
Wallace Stevens
Image
God is a place of safety you can run to, but it helps if you are running to Him on a daily basis so that you are in familiar territory.
Stormie Omartian
Image
I don't look to play people that are familiar. I look to play people that are different, challenge, unknown, foreign, and therefore scary.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Image
The road to wisdom is paved with excess. The mark of a true writer is their ability to mystify the familiar and familiarize the strange.
Walt Whitman
Image
Language is filled with words for deprivation images so familiar it is hard to crack language open into that other country the country of being.
Susan Griffin
Image
The notion of getting under the hood and explaining how something works, that's fairly familiar territory to me.
Scott McCloud
Image
The crowd is the veil through which the familiar city beckons to the flâneur as phantasmagoria-now a landscape, now a room.
Walter Benjamin
Image
The first half [of Valley of Violence] was to endear you to all these people and give you all these archetypes that you're familiar with, and then the second half, just to see all those archetypes unravel like real people.
Ti West
Image
Peeta and I had adjoining cells in the capitol. We're very familiar with each other's screams.
Suzanne Collins
Image
As a student in England, I studied French and English literature. I read L'Etranger and the rhythm of the novel felt familiar to me - very African.
Sefi Atta
Image
Ordinary folk prefer familiar tastes - they'd sooner eat the same things all the time - but a gourmet would sample a fried park bench just to know how it tastes.
Walter Moers
Image
The night is full of stories. They float up like miasmas, as though the dead leave their dreams in the earth where you bury them, only to have them rise to meet you in sleep. Mostly the scenes are familiar, but sometimes everything is strange, the people unknown.
Tim Winton
Image
Whatever situation you are in - be it familiar spirit, generational curses or infirmity - be released, in the name of Jesus!
T. B. Joshua
Image
As the amount of inputs go up, as the number of people and ideas that clamor for attention continue to increase, we do what people always do: we rely on the familiar, the trusted and the personal. The incredible surplus of digital data means that human actions, generosity and sacrifice are more important than they ever were before.
Seth Godin
Image
To anyone who has served in Washington, there is something oddly familiar about [having your portrait painted]. First, you're painted into a corner, then you're hung out to dry and, finally, you're framed.
Warren Christopher
Image
If you're familiar enough with my body of work, my voice is a familiar totem, in a sense. I guess I have something characteristic in the way that I sing, although I'm not very personally self-conscious about it, so I don't think about it that much. But when I hear the record I can tell it's me.
Todd Rundgren
Image
and now you live dispersed on ribbon roads, And no man knows or cares who is his neighbor Unless his neighbor makes too much disturbance, But all dash to and fro in motor cars, Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.
T. S. Eliot
Image
To the Chasmites, truth is determined by how well it fits their expectations, and doesn't that sound familiar? They have consistently refused to have a god contest, and I fear they will have to encounter the godlet rather forcibly before they believe there is anything there at all.
Sheri S. Tepper
Image
There is a lot of melody and things that sound familiar in hundreds of songs.
Wayne Coyne
Image
Back in World War II, we viewed the Japanese as 'yellow, slant-eyed dogs' that believed in different gods. They were out to kill us because our way of living was different. We, in turn, wanted to annihilate them because they were different. Does that sound familiar, by any chance, to what's going on today?
