Elihu Root
Image
If you covet fame, if you covet all the superficial accolades, you're gonna be miserable 'cause you're never going to get enough praise. If you covet contributing something substantive to movies, music, literature, then you won't be unhappy.
Ethan Hawke

Melissa Etheridge
Image
Art cannot result from sophisticated, frivolous, or superficial effects.
Hans Hofmann
Image
We wanted to have in Lotus Eaters something that looks really beautiful on the outside but is not necessarily on the inside. There's a lot of superficial references. I remember we were looking at Helmut Newton's photographs - they just look so glossy and beautiful, but you look closely and you can see the cellulite.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

It is superficial to fall in love with someone looking at their face. To me I need to discover the person. I would never look at someone and exclaim - He is the one!
Preity Zinta
Image
To superficial observers his chin had too vanishing an aspect, looking as if it were being gradually reabsorbed. And it did indeed cause him some difficulty about the fit of his satin stocks, for which chins were at that time useful.
George Eliot
Image
On a superficial level, I like girls with dark hair - I'm a sucker for that.
Elijah Wood
Image
I know some photographs that are extraodrinary in their power and conviction, but it is difficult in photography to overcome the superficial power or subject the concept and statement must be quite convincing in themselves to win over a dramatic and compelling subject situation.
Ansel Adams
Image
I've always been infuriated by Bertie, I have to say. I never appreciated his style of politics.

Lucinda Creighton
Image
I'm a deeply superficial person.

Image
Sometimes I've drawn on autobiographical material, maybe situations that I've felt trapped by, and turned them into something else, but in a very superficial way. When you find yourself thinking and worrying about certain things they become ridiculous.
William Wegman
Image
In the past, when people criticized me for asking unexpected questions, I felt ashamed. Now I realize that normal people are acting in a superficial and often false manner. So rather than let them make me feel bad, I express my annoyance. It's my way of trying to strike a blow for logic and rationality.
John Elder Robison
Image
I hate superficial violence. It's shallow and stupid, and the impact on the audience is really bad.
