Women and men grow up with both sexes. Our mothers and fathers mean a lot to us, so it's just a question of finding a balance between their influences. I've found mine. And it tends to be more on the male side. I mean male side the way we understand it in the West.
Grace Jones

Properly speaking, global thinking is not possible... Look at one of those photographs of half the earth taken from outer space, and see if you recognize your neighborhood. The right local questions and answers will be the right global ones. The Amish question, what will this do to our community? tends toward the right answer for the world.
Wendell Berry
Image
Color tends to corrupt photography and absolute color corrupts it absolutely. Consider the way color film usually renders blue sky, green foliage, lipstick red, and the kiddies' playsuit. These are four simple words which must be whispered: color photography is vulgar.
Walker Evans
Image
Power tends to corrupt. But the power in Washington resides in Congress, if it wants to use it. It can do anything-it can stop the Vietnam War. It can make its will felt, if it can ever get its act together to do anything.
Antonin Scalia
Image
I'm not a speed writer. I write slowly and revise obsessively. The end result tends to be good. That's where my strength is.
Patrick Rothfuss
Image
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Andre Gide

How many of you have had a crush on a teacher? I mean, remember that Physics professor? Law One is so steamy, I'm getting worked up just thinking about it: Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. Mee-yow.
Olivia Munn
Image
The modern mind always tends to reduce the greater to the lesser rather than seeing the lesser as reflecting the greater.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The only thing wrong with immortality is that it tends to go on forever.
Herb Caen
Image
Rather than disliking theatre, I've expressed a preference for television because it tends to deal in its small way much more with issues and is able to reach a broader church of people than theatre.
Christopher Eccleston
Image
I have always loved solitude, a trait which tends to increase with age.
Albert Einstein
Image
My sense of humor tends toward both the dark and the absurd - two great tastes that, in my opinion, taste great together.
Ron Currie Jr.

Writing does not numb, comfort, or soothe me. It does the opposite. It tends to excite me and reinscribe pain. It doesn't function as exorcism.
Myriam Gurba
Image
In the financial world it tends to be misleading to state, There is no free lunch. Rather the more meaningful comment is, Somebody has to pay for lunch.
Martin J. Whitman
Image
The world tends to trap you in the role you play and it is always extremely hard to maintain a watchful, mocking distance between oneself as one appears to be and oneself as one actually is.
James A. Baldwin
Image
Some autistic children cannot stand the sound of certain voices. I have come across cases where teachers tell me that certain children have problems with their voice or another person's voice. This problem tends to be related to high-pitched ladies' voices.
Temple Grandin
Image
The ultimate notion of right is that which tends to the universal good and when one's acting in a certain manner has this tendency he has a right thus to act.
Francis Hutcheson
Image
I think most of us become nicer as we get older, less judgmental, less full of certitude life tends to knock a few corners of us as we go through. Cancer, divorce, teenagers, and other plagues make us give up on expecting ourselves - or life - to be perfect, which is a real relief.
Molly Ivins
Image
Democracy tends to be a collaborative process, a committee, a consensus.
Reid Hoffman
Image
Boredom is your window on the properties of time that one tends to ignore to the likely peril of one's mental equilibrium. It is your window on time's infinity. Once this window opens, don't try to shut it on the contrary, throw it wide open.
Joseph Brodsky
Image
We must learn not to take traditional morals too seriously. And it is just because even the least dogmatic of religions tends to associate itself with some kind of unalterable moral tradition, that there can be no truce between science and religion.
John B. S. Haldane
Image
Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dreams, in the disinterested play of thought. It tends to ruin once and for all other psychic mechanisms and to substitute itself for them in solving all the principle problems of life.
Andre Breton
Image
It's always good when women win things in fiction because it tends to be more male-dominated, unlike poetry, which is more equal
Carol Ann Duffy
Image
I guess that's the secret. It would never have occurred to Lia to want to escape -- but then she gets kicked out. Best thing that ever happened to her? I'm not sure she would say yes, because obliviousness tends to be rather pleasant, but once you realized you've been bolivious, there's no turning back. You can't un-know what you know. You know?
