Time marks us while we are marking time.
Theodore Roethke
Image
I think I became a writer because I used to write letters to my friends, and I used to love writing them. I loved the idea that you can put marks on a page and send it off, and two days later, someone laughs somewhere else in the world.
David Nicholls
Image
Liberals dispute that Reagan won the Cold War on the basis of their capacity to put mocking quotation marks around the word, won. That's pretty much the full argument: Restate a factual proposition with sneering quote marks.
Ann Coulter
Image
The border between the Real and the Unreal is not fixed, but just marks the last place where rival gangs of shamans fought each other to a standstill.
Robert Anton Wilson
Image
Going to school and working for good marks, indeed working for very good marks, was a serious business.
Martin Lewis Perl
Image
Totalitarian rule marks the sharpest contrast imaginable with political rule, and ideological thinking is an explicit and direct challenge to political thinking.
Bernard Crick
Image
The general opinion of “Revenge of the Sith” seems to be that it marks a distinct improvement on the last two episodes, “The Phantom Menace” and “Attack of the Clones.” True, but only in the same way that dying from natural causes is preferable to crucifixion.
Anthony Lane
Image
The one stroke marks the difference between fame and oblivion.
Samuel Parris
Image
Those are not the tears of repentance!... Self-loathing is not sorrow. Yet it is good, for it marks a step in the way home, and in the father's arms the prodigal forgets the self he abominates.
George MacDonald
Image
I insist that they do what they became actors to do. I want them to create something and not just hit marks and say words. So they all love that because they're playing. It's called playacting. Their contributions are not only welcomed, but are accepted and used.
Robert Altman
Image
I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions, and that the return of this information to the public marks my end.
Edward Snowden
Image
I want to make portraits and images. I don't know how. Out of despair, I just use paint anyway. Suddenly the things you make coagulate and take on just the shape you intend. Totally accurate marks, which are outside representational marks.
Francis Bacon
Image
I didn't know what to expect coming into this year. There were a lot of question marks, and I think that's obvious now. Can we overcome it? Time will tell.
Brett Favre
Image
Laws are not made like lime-twigs or nets, to catch everything that toucheth them but rather like sea-marks, to guide from shipwreck the ignorant passenger.
Philip Sidney
Image
Multiple exclamation marks, he went on, shaking his head, are a sure sign of a diseased mind.
Terry Pratchett
Image
A judge is a law student who marks his own examination papers.
H. L. Mencken
Image
Yellow Face marks my summation of multiculturalism.
David Henry Hwang
Image
I know a girl, she been married so many times, she got rice marks all over her face
Tom Waits
Image
Quotation marks quotato marks! Bah!
James Joyce
Image
Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it.
David Foster Wallace
Image
It's like if you plant something in the concrete and if it grow and the rose petal got all kinds of scratches and marks, you ain't gonna say, 'Damn, look at all the scratches and marks on the rose that grew from the concrete.' You're gonna be like, 'Damn, a rose grew from the concrete?'
Tupac Shakur
Image
Avoid overuse of 'quotation “marks.”'
William Safire
Image
Beware the writer who always encloses the word *reality* in quotation marks: He's trying to slip something over on you. Or into you.
Edward Abbey
Image
Unlike the marks of a painting, the photo seems to organize its 'opinions' in relation to the world even when the photographs have clearly been manipulated, the 'opinions' seem to have all the more force, with the suggested 'participation of the world' articulating that 'opinion' as a difference.
Joseph Kosuth
