When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken, giving views to passion without that proper deliberation which alone can secure them from the grossest absurdities
David Hume
Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.

I know that sometimes we get accused of being a band that`s successful on account of my average cheek bones. But it IS a good band. I`m not the most arrogant person in the world, but I`m going to start to be. I`m sort of sick of being misrepresented.
Gavin Rossdale
I don`t think you should go around talking trash about people because I think that`s how you get your hat handed to you. I`m good at what I do, but I wouldn`t be so bold and arrogant as to say something disrespectful about, say, Eminem. He`s talented and ...
LL Cool J
I can be arrogant sometimes, but I never mean it intentionally. I can be really snotty to people but that`s not anything new really. I always acted like a star long before I was one. If people don`t see my sense of humor then I come off as being expensive...
Madonna Ciccone
On fame: "As soon as enough people give you enough compliments and you`re wielding more power than you`ve ever had in your life, it`s not that you become an arrogant little prick, or become rude to people ... but you get a false sense of your own importan...
Leonardo DiCaprio
[on actors taking themselves too seriously] The truth is . . . myself, De Niro [Robert De Niro], Pacino [Al Pacino], Hoffman [Dustin Hoffman], we were arrogant, pompous asses.
James Caan
[on Kirk Douglas] We both came from, sort of, well, shall we say, humble beginnings. We were both young, brash, cocky, arrogant. We knew everything, were highly opinionated. We were invincible. Nobody liked us.
Burt Lancaster
Well you see, movies are our generation`s folklore. It`s our pop culture, our reference point. I don`t want it to sound arrogant but I felt that my passion and love for the movies gave me enough guidance as to how I would present a character by mixing ele...

I liked being Doc Holliday. It`s fun to be insightful and aristocratic, to stand up for your friend and make sacrifices for him. It was fun to be arrogant like he was and have the goods to back it up. He was a very noble character. Although, let`s not for...
Val Kilmer
On turning down Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: "There were all sorts of rumors about why I didn`t take [the DS9 role] and that I was quite arrogant about the whole thing. It wasn`t that at all. It was, again, about wanting variety in my career. If I`d gone o...
Michelle Forbes
If you`re doing a scene and you think you`re doing it wrong, just swear in the middle of it and then the director can`t use it. It`s an arrogant way of doing it, but unfortunately it`s the only way of self-protection. You have to be a bit anarchic sometim...
Brenda Fricker
Being nice to everybody, saying hello to everyone in the room, signing every autograph; it was instilled in me at a very young age that this was what I was suppose to do. But I don`t think it helps at all. I see more people who are rude or arrogant being ...
Brooke Shields
I was raised a Catholic on the South Side of Chicago, and I felt I had to undo a lot of serious damage. But as I was getting older, I began coming off my absolutely young, arrogant, agnostic beliefs. I was thinking more about coming to terms with human sp...
Robert Zemeckis
[on George Peppard] He`s arrogant -- the sort of man who expects women to fall at his feet at the slightest command; who throws his weight around. He gives the impression that he`s the star, what he says goes and that nobody else is very important.
Joan Collins
People just love to bash LA. People say it`s so pretentious, so arrogant, so this and that. But it`s truly a wonderful place. You don`t have to go to the places where that stuff goes on. You don`t have to go to Beverly Hills, you don`t have to go to the p...
Heath Ledger
We are not being arrogant or complacent when we are said that our country, as a united nation, has never in its entire history, enjoyed such a confluence of encouraging possibilities.
Andrew Beard
To think that we as a publisher (i.e. people who have never actually MADE a game) can have a realistic impact on a project that a team of experts is slaving away on full time for 2 years is a bit arrogant.
Mike Wilson
They`re a great team. The difference in knowing that you`re good and being arrogant about it is that they know they`re good and they play together. Everybody works for the common good.
Mark Mitchell
The funniest thing happened in one of my first scenes. In the beginning Emma was really arrogant and punk and in every scene she would slam the door when she walked in or out.
Dannii Minogue
Sometimes I may be totally arrogant, sometimes I may totally be the most humble guy you`ve ever met, sometimes I may be in between. But that`s life. Who isn`t like that? What`s the big deal if I had an arrogant moment.
Ben Harper

Nobody can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own.
