In my writing I wanted to be liked for writing really unlikeable stuff. There were books that people, particularly women, hated so much. They said, I threw it against the wall! Which, in my opinion, was a compliment. Because it's very hard to get somebody to throw something.

Despite his consistent party-line voting record, some independents and Democrats still think of Senator McCain as the most palatable, independent-minded Republican. But this is the sort of empty compliment a friend of mine once compared to being called “the coolest Osmond.

Curtis Hanson

If compliments were food, I'd have starved to death 28 years ago.
Erma Bombeck
Image
Did not you? I did for you. But that is one great difference between us. Compliments always take you by surprise, and me never.
Jane Austen
Image
They say that you can't live by bread alone, but I can live on compliments.
Mark Twain

I'd rather take coffee than compliments just now.

What honour that, But tedious waste of time, to sit and hear So many hollow compliments and lies.
John Milton
Image
Feelings, she learned, were hard to fight. She treasured his smiles and compliments and tried not to dwell on the fact that he gave this things to his friend Kel. His dreamy-eyed gazes, poems, and fits of passionate melancholy were for Uline. It was hard not to resent the older girl.

I do hear snippets on the radio. I do hear a little bit of me, sometimes great chunks of me. But I have to take that as a compliment there's no way you can get sour grapes about that. But if somebody starts taking your whole new thing lock, stock, and barrel, and do their own version of it before you do it, that's not on.
Jeff Beck

I am the model middle child. I am patient and I like to take care of everyone. Being called nice is a compliment. It's not a boring way to describe me.
Jennifer Garner

It always gets late with you. - Is that a compliment?
Patricia Highsmith

I think the reason I've survived that long is because I've taken my work so seriously. Maybe sometimes too seriously, but it's always been important for me to do my best regardless of the film. I think the biggest compliment I get is when people on the street stop me and say they've liked the choices I've made.
Matt Dillon

Some have paid me an undeserved compliment by supposing that my Letters were the ripe fruit of many years' study in moral and ascetic theology. They forgot that there is an equally reliable, though less creditable, way of learning how temptation works.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.
Wayne Gretzky
Image
If a man, notoriously and designedly, insults and affronts you, knock him down but if he only injures you, your best revenge is to be extremely civil to him in your outward behaviour, though at the same time you counterwork him, and return him the compliment, perhaps with interest.
Lord Chesterfield
Image
Elizabeth, With my compliments. You will never get your claws into another one of mine. Rot in hell, Nïx clasped her hands over her chest, sighing, He gave you his heart. That's so romantic. So much better than a candy heart. Those get stuck in the fangs, you know.
Kresley Cole

Complimenting someone in an exaggerated way is known as flattery, and flattery will generally get you anything you want.

He wanted pure compliments, just as he wanted unconditional love.

Ringing the cash register is not the name of the game. It's only the scorekeeper, and it's not what motivates me. I'm motivated in my business by the compliments I receive about our people, our service, and the quality of our food.
