Resemblances are the shadows of differences. Different people see different similarities and similar differences.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Nature never rhymes her children, nor makes two men alike. When we see a great man, we fancy a resemblance to some historical person, and predict the sequel of his character and fortune, a result which he is sure to disappoint. None will ever solve the problem of his character according to our prejudice, but only in his high unprecedented way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The resemblance of the signs of the zodiac to the animals after which they are named... is as unimpressive as the predictions of astrologers.
Richard Dawkins
Image
The resemblance of ... the alien abduction of 'experiencers' to the contracts described by our own volunteers is undeniable. How can anyone doubt, after reading our accounts... that DMT elicits 'typical' alien encounters?
Rick Strassman
Image
The totally convinced and the totally stupid have too much in common for the resemblance to be accidental.
Robert Anton Wilson
Image
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Another fella told me, he had a sister who looked just fine. Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strange resemblance to a cat name of Frankenstein.
Sam Cooke
Image
While a painting, even one that meets photographic standards of resemblance, is never more than the stating of an interpretation, a photograph is never less than the registering of an emanation (light waves reflected by objects) — a material vestige of its subject in a way that no painting can be.
Susan Sontag
Image
Schizophrenic language has in this sense an interesting resemblance to poetry.
Terry Eagleton
Image
Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike.
Madame de Stael
Image
We cherish the conventional story of Dr. King and nonviolence, in fact, precisely because that narrative demands so little of us…This conventional narrative is soothing, moving, and politically acceptable, and has only the disadvantage of bearing no resemblance to what actually happened.
Timothy B. Tyson
Image
More than once I have been humiliated by my resemblance to God the father He is always longing for the love of His children and trying to get it on the cheapest and laziest terms He can invent.
Mark Twain
Image
Success is an ugly thing. Men are deceived by its false resemblances to merit.... They confound the brilliance of the firmament with the star-shaped footprints of a duck in the mud.
Victor Hugo
Image
We understand through resemblance.
Mason Cooley
Image
It isn't an easy job to paint oneself - at any rate if it is to be different from a photograph. And you see - this, in my opinion, is the advantage that impressionism possesses over all the other things it is not banal, and one seeks after a deeper resemblance than the photograph.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The characters that I have on Twitter have very little resemblance to me, the person who's writing them.
Michael Ian Black
Image
Poetry is a satifying of the desire for resemblance.
Wallace Stevens
Image
The very women who object to the morals of a notoriously beautiful actress, grow big with pride when an admirer suggests their marked resemblance to this stage beauty in physique.
Minna Antrim
Image
The whole value of science consists in the power which it confers upon us of applying to one object the knowledge acquired from like objects and it is only so far, therefore, as we can discover and register resemblances that we can turn our observations to account.
William Stanley Jevons
Image
Time is to eternity as an image is to its exemplar, and those things which are temporal bear a resemblance to those things which are eternal.
Nicholas of Cusa
Image
With films, I just scribble a couple of notes for a scene. You don't have to do any writing at all, you just have your notes for the scene, which are written with the actors and the camera in mind. The actual script is a necessity for casting and budgeting, but the end product often doesn't bear much resemblance to the script--at least in my case.
Woody Allen
Image
Art finds her own perfection within, and not outside of, herself. She is not to be judged by any external standard of resemblance.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Clever men are impressed in their differences from their fellows. Wise men are conscious of their resemblance to them.
R. H. Tawney
Image
All great progress takes place when two sciences come together, and when their resemblance proclaims itself, despite the apparent disparity of their substance.
Henri Poincare
