The Bible is full of ordinary people who went to impossible places and did wondrous things simply because they decided to obey God.
Andrew van der Bijl
Image
My own view is simply that there are some very basic rules very simple rules that apply to all writing in a way, which is: don't lie if you're wrong, correct do not misrepresent and try and keep oneself intellectually honest - which means, as a writer, the very difficult task in public of admitting you were wrong.
Andrew Sullivan
Image
I think it was impossible not to come upon a lot of confabulation simply because any good scholarship that has been done since [Buckminster Fuller] death has really delved in that.
Jonathon Keats
Image
Despite all their fears, we ask very little of the ones who never loved us. We do not ask for sympathy or pain or compassion. We simply want to know why.
Andrew Sean Greer
Image
For nothing was simply one thing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Half the time she did things not simply, not for themselves but to make people think this or that perfect idiocy she knew for no one was ever for a second taken in.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The Constitution simply does not authorize the federal government to own any of this land.
Andrew Napolitano
Image
Life... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won't be got rid of.
Anita Brookner
Image
Journalism is often simply the industrialisation of gossip.
Andrew Marr
Image
Some critics saw fit to say that I was a great actress. I thought that was a foolish, wicket thing to say because it put such an onus and such a responsibility onto me, which I simply wasn't able to carry.
Vivien Leigh
Image
From time to time there is a move to do a little less in the way of period dramas, but people rebel. Audiences say we want them. There is a big hunger for them. I don't think it's sentimentality or nostalgia, it's often that they are simply the best stories.
Andrew Davies
Image
Sleep is the most moronic fraternity in the world, with the heaviest dues and the crudest rituals. It is a mental torture I find debasing... I simply cannot get used to the nightly betrayal of reason, humanity, genius.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Playing the violin and singing and whistling are just three different ways of making sound. It's not trying to replace a band, per se. It's become a completely different thing. And it's not just simply an effect. It's just a very surprisingly intuitive thing.
Andrew Bird
Image
The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction also represents a serious danger. If these weapons were to fall into the hands of terrorists, and they pursue this aim, the consequences would be simply disastrous.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Find the beliefs that are strangling your feelings, challenge them for your sake as well as theirs, and see how it feels to love someone without a thought about the future, simply for who they are today.
Andrew Bernstein
Image
I think a shotgun or a handgun that has a six-round clip is a very good, perfectly adequate weapon for self-defense, in the home. You simply can't create that kind of mayhem, if you have to reload.
John Landgraf
Image
If you try to please audiences, uncritically accepting their tastes, it can only mean that you have no respect for them: that you simply want to collect their money.
Andrei Tarkovsky
Image
Life is simply experience for reasons not readily discerned, we attempt to go on.
Scott Turow
Image
It is simply that we treat Japanese history, the history of the Japanese people and its unique culture with greater respect and interest. This generates enormous interest in Russia!
Vladimir Putin
Image
Acting is a sense of wonder and magic and mystery for me and when life takes me on a new journey, I simply remember the smile my first ballet recital put on my face and I move forward.
Andrea Thompson
Image
What most persons consider as virtue, after the age of 40 is simply a loss of energy.
Voltaire
Image
One cannot simply decide to write apolitical poetry, in the way one decides to drink lemonade instead of tea, it's far more subliminal than that.
Andre Naffis-Sahely
Image
Anyone who says you can't see a thought simply doesn't know art.
W. Ann Reynolds
Image
You work and live to meet your daily needs rather than to maximize your potential. You simply exist from day to day, without much passion or enthusiasm for life. Meanwhile, your talents remain untapped, buried somewhere deep inside. This is an awful way to live.
