Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer`s day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time
John Lubbock
As a physician, Senator Frist has a moral calling to save lives and alleviate suffering. He joins Nancy Reagan, dozens of Nobel Laureates, thousands of scientists, and millions of patients across the nation in calling for an end to the restrictions that h...
Edward Kennedy
Jerusalem is a festival and a lamentation. Its song is a sigh across the ages, a delicate, robust, mournful psalm at the great junction of spiritual cultures.
David K Shipler
My hope is that 10 years from now, after I`ve been across the street at work for a while, they`ll all be glad they gave me that wonderful vote.
Sandra Day O`Connor
Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.
C.S. Lewis
Learning how to walk in a kimono was an art form in itself - if you didn`t learn to do it properly it was like dragging a dead cat across the floor! We had to walk with a piece of paper between your knees and a tea tray balanced on your head.
Michelle Yeoh
I always forced myself to do crazy things in public. In college I would push an overhead projector across campus with my pants just low enough to show my butt.
Will Ferrell
[on Burt Reynolds] It`s the man`s tremendous wit that just keeps coming across. Listen, there is no acting style. Most people just play themselves. Spencer Tracy used to say to me after a scene, "Did I ham that one up?" If I said yes, he`d say, "Okay, let...
Myrna Loy
I am always ashamed of the slowness of my reading. I think it stems from the fact that when I come across dialogue in a novel, I can`t resist treating it as the text of a play and acting it out, with significant pauses and all.
Alec Guinness
`Oh God, don`t make me come across as a moaner. I think it`s unacceptable to moan about anything when you`re lucky enough to do what I do. What I`m trying to say is I`m more settled now. The thirties have calmed me down. I know who my real friends are, I ...
Rachel Weisz
Whenever I came across something that influenced me, I wanted to be that. So it varied from an astronaut, airhostess, army girl, to truck driver. Once, I wanted to be a nun - my mother wanted me to change schools after that...
Preity Zinta
I`m the worst auditioner, really, really bad. I mean, you`re being judged and I`m just so aware of it that it consumes me. I can`t relax, I`m tied in knots, so the voice is very taut and tense. You`re so aware that you`re acting `cause you`re sitting acro...
Heath Ledger
I like to feel sexy. I know my husband thinks I`m sexy. I think he is too. But I don`t go out half-naked with `sex` written across my back.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
I get half-drowned, jump across an abyss and fly. I loved every minute of it. Getting attached to wires and flying was the most glorious feeling. It`s a lot easier than acting! [on her role in National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) playing Nicolas Cage...
Helen Mirren
Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is.
Mae West
I`ve become a picky little bitch. I`ve never bothered to plan projects before. I just used to throw the script across the room and say `why do they keep sending me this horseshit?` And then I`d start rehearsels two weeks later.
Robert Downey Jr.
I`ve got a black woolen hat and it`s got Pervert written across the front of it. It`s the name of the clothing label. And I was with my wife and my baby at the supermarket and I didn`t think. I just put my hat on Clara`s head, because it was cold. And the...
Ewan McGregor
[On Steven Spielberg] Steven Spielberg is the only person I`ve come across who fits my criteria of genius. And I don`t throw that word around. Genius is imagination and attention to detail. The ability to achieve to the minutest detail what you perceive i...
Richard Dreyfuss
[on the CGI used in The Polar Express (2004)] It`s the same stuff they used in that fourth "Lord of the Rings" movie. Or was it the 19th "Lord of the Rings" movie? You know, the one where Boldo and Jingy travel across the bridge? I don`t know, I don`t kno...
Tom Hanks
I love Kris`s simplicity when getting her point across. I use circumlocution too often and instead of getting my point across I tend to babble.
Genevieve Cortese
I love Kris`s simplicity when getting her point across. I use circumlocution too often and instead of getting my point across I tend to babble.
Genevieve Cortese
It`s like a dream ... one minute I am walking across the playground to maths and next, I`m flying to Hollywood to meet the world`s press.
Rachel Hurd-Wood
