Image
Partly because of the desperate economic situation in the country, what were once the leading institutions of conservatism are constrained.
David Frum
Image
Partly why I love to operate is that I love to watch an actor within a shot. When you watch a shot, and you know that everything's come together, I feel I'm the first person watching it. I always get pleasure out of that.
Roger Deakins
Image
Partly I was honing my self-consciousness into a torture device, sharp and efficient enough to last me the rest of my life.
Lucy Grealy
Image
Partly I resented being perceived as weak because I was a girl.
Alison Bechdel
Image
Partly, I like a bad reputation. But I also want a reputation of being a good person.
Joan Jett
Image
I'm not drunk onstage, although I've done that a couple of times when I was younger. It's partly just the way I talk - I talk like somebody in a rocking chair. I'm your 150-year-old grandmother.
Dylan Moran
Image
I believe that the shocking toll of AIDS on gay men in the West was partly due to their Seventies delusions that a world without women was possible. All-male energies, unbalanced and ravenous, literally tore the body apart.
Camille Paglia
Image
I emphasize in it [my Orientalism] accortdingly that neither the term Orient nor the concept of the West has any ontological stability each is made up of human effort, partly affirmation, partly identification of the Other.
Edward Said
Image
So when the moon's only partly full, you only feel a little wolfy? You could say that. Well, you can go ahead and hang your head out the car window if you feel like it. I'm a werewolf, not a golden retriever.
Cassandra Clare
Image
That is partly why women marry - to keep up the fiction of being in the hub of things.
Elizabeth Bowen
Image
I find a difference in British spy fiction and American spy fiction. In the American version, it's more militaristic, partly because the CIA has more of the military makeup. Whereas MI6 is more of a cerebral, intelligence-based, relationship-based service, i.e., all they do is recruit people to get information out of them.
Charles Cumming

Cars, toys, aspirin, meat, toasters, water - nearly every product sold has passed basic safety regulations well in advance of being marketed and sold. But consumer credit is a kind of buyer-beware, wild west. That is partly the result of history.
Elizabeth Warren
Image
It is an unfortunate fact that great and foolish excess can come into prices of common stocks in the aggregate. They are valued partly like bonds, based on roughly rational projections of use value in producing future cash. But they are also valued partly like Rembrandt paintings, purchased mostly because their prices have gone up, so far.
Charlie Munger
Image
Man could not stay there forever. He was bound to spread to new regions, partly because of his innate migratory tendency and partly because of Nature's stern urgency.
Ellsworth Huntington
Image
The beauty seen is partly in him who sees it. [a predisposition to notice the beautiful, in everything.]
Christian Nestell Bovee
Image
Unfortunately, satisfaction is linked partly to results
Emma Pooley
Image
I have to say I do read partly for escapism. Why can't I escape and learn something?
Christopher Bollen
Image
The pleasure we derive from doing favors is partly in the feeling it gives us that we are not altogether worthless. It is a pleasant surprise to ourselves.
Eric Hoffer
Image
You can take an object and simply put anything you want in that object, and I accessed that partly through Freudian ideas.
Claes Oldenburg
Image
The desire to belong is partly a desire to lose oneself.
Eric Hoffer
Image
I don't like to sit still for long at all, which has probably helped me along the way, and partly why I was drawn to the heat of a restaurant kitchen. The rush of service means that you're always on your toes and keeps a chef pretty active.
Curtis Stone
Image
It is for this, partly, that I write. How can I know what I think unless I see what I write.
Erica Jong
Image
Chairman Mao once said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. He was only partly right: power that comes from the barrel of a gun can be effective only for a short time. In the end, peoples love for truth, justice, freedom, and democracy will triumph. No matter what governments do, the human spirit will always prevail.
Dalai Lama
Image
We talk about equality, about happiness, about freedom - and about the spiritual values of religion, and about God - and in our daily life, we act on principles which are different, and partly contradictory.
Erich Fromm
