If people must be talking about me, I would have it to be truthfully and justly. I would willingly return from the next world to contradict any person who described me other than I was, although he did it to honour me.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
It is freely admitted that this testing is far from ideal and could even be described as anecdotal.
Eric Gill
Image
He who is conversant with the supernal powers will not worship these inferior deities of the wind, waves, tide, and sunshine. Butwe would not disparage the importance of such calculations as we have described. They are truths in physics because they are true in ethics.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
A friend of mine described it this way: When they were born it was like a meteor landed in our house and blew everything apart. We had to just put all the pieces back.
Christine Lahti
Image
Henry Kissinger may have wished I had presented him as a combination of Charles DeGaulle and Disraeli, but I didn't....out of respect for DeGaulle and Disraeli. I described him as a cowboy because that is how he describes himself. If I were a cowboy I would be offended.
Oriana Fallaci
Image
It is uplifting to lose one?s faith in a reality which looks the way it is described in a newspaper.
Karl Kraus
Image
Writing shouldn't come between the reader and what's being described. It should be as transparent as possible.
Diana Athill
Image
I think I would not be described as a character actor in that I don't take on characteristics which are very alien to me.
Jeremy Irons
Image
Basic anxiety can be roughly described as a feeling of being small, insignificant, helpless, deserted or endangered in a world that is out to abuse, cheat, humiliate, betray, envy... . And special in this is the child's feeling that the parents' love, their Christian charity, honesty, generosity ... may be only a pretense.
Karen Horney
Image
The connectedness of things is what the great university is all about, and I believe the great university in the coming century will be described as a community of scholars.
Ernest L. Boyer
Image
Many women have described their experiences of childbirth as being associated with a spiritual uplifting, the power of which they have never previously been aware. To such a woman, childbirth is a monument of joy within her memory. She turns to it in thought to seek again an ecstasy which passed too soon.
Grantly Dick-Read

Every character I've had in my act - none of them have a similar creation story. I actually thought up Peanut and designed him in my head. I described him to a woman that was making soft puppets and she drew up some sketches. And the character came to be just because he popped into my head.
Jeff Dunham

Usually you tend to glean much more information about your character from what other people say about you, rather than how it's described in the books.
Sean Bean
Image
I have described myself as being 'gently eccentric.'
Daniel Radcliffe
Image
I'm sometimes described as a flamboyant leader and a hip-shooter, a fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants operator. But if that were true, I could never have been successful in this business.
Lee Iacocca
Image
Because life is short. I feel we’re made of a hunger, a desire for life – if that can be described as a material. As I get older, I’m trying to open that channel more. If you don’t, if you close off desire and get complacent, life loses its freshness and sweetness, and that’s what I crave. That’s my bliss.
Sarah Slean
Image
So, the fear of death might be described as the fear of not being able to become whom one had planned to be.
Pascal Mercier
Image
Moonlight streamed in, sending loving beams over his face. He closed his eyes and basked in it, and I could tell it was calling to him, even though the moon was not full. She didn't speak to me, but Samuel had once described her song to me in the words of a poet. The expression of bliss on his face while he listened to her music made him beautiful.
Patricia Briggs
Image
When I was 6 years old, I was in a rock band that was horrible called 'Dead End.' The name kind of described us. People liked us we would go and perform at coffee houses and stuff.
Aaron Carter
Image
In some extreme cases, women are constrained by what can only be described as pre-Islamic, misogynistic approaches to the role of women in society. That continues to be a challenge.
Queen Noor of Jordan
Image
When Dante described the circles of Hell, he clearly forgot the one where a hungry pixie sits on one's shoulder for eternity.
Elizabeth May
Image
I'm not sure most of the people that get caught up in the middle of a bubble can be described as irrational. It seems pretty rational to buy a house and flip it in the next few weeks at a profit when that's been happening for along time.
Paul Samuelson
Image
I wonder how Feynman would feel if he had to be talking to not just a few nuts of this kind but e.g. to 2,500 similar nuts who would be moreover described by the media as good scientists, if not the best ones in the world. -) Good for him that he managed to die in time.
Lubos Motl

The twenty-first century will be a time of awakening, of meeting the creator within. Many beings will experience oneness with God and with all life. This will be the beginning of the golden age of the new human, of which it has been written the time of the universal human, which has been eloquently described by those with deep insight among you.
