We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.
Fydor Dostoevsky
Above all things let us never forget that mankind constitutes one great brotherhood; all born to encounter suffering and sorrow, and therefore bound to sympathize with each other
Albert Pike
In everyone`s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
Albert Schweitzer
Why should I indulge myself and do a David Lean-ish kind of film? I could do my little Jewish Brief Encounter (1945) and disguise it - shorten the noses. But it wouldn`t be as much fun as delivering my dish of insanity.
Mel Brooks
[on Walter Wanger] Walter Wanger was a man who always wanted to be European. He didn`t know how to be European but he wanted to be European so "The Reckless Moment" was rather the kind of film -- I suppose, like "Brief Encounter" -- that he was trying to ...
James Mason
I love dreams, even when they`re nightmares, which is usually the case. My dreams are full of the same obstacles, but it doesn`t matter. My amour fou for the dreams themselves as I shared with the surrealists. Un chien andalou (1929) was born of the encou...
Luis Bunuel
On her second encounter with Valentino at a party: "The first question he asked was, `Do you care to dance?` I decided to sit it out with him under a California moon."
Jean Acker
To me, naturalism is the death of drama. Lee Strasberg came along and the Method f***ed everything up. I find people like Celia Johnson are my favorite actors. I was brought up on films like Brief Encounter, and for me they expressed enormous truth. Marlo...

[on the Oxford-vs.-Cambridge Boat Race] The year was 1980, I was #4 in this particular encounter, and the result was a loss by Cambridge by a distance of five feet, which is something which I will carry to my grave . . . in fact, I shouldn`t really say th...
Hugh Laurie
I stared into his eyes and told him that I thought he was a respectable human. I did tell him straight out that I think his band still sucks. - on his encounter with Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder.
Kurt Cobain
[on working with Matt Dillon on "The Flamingo Kid"] I wasn`t sure if I was going to encounter a teen idol or a professional, but I`m happy to report that Matt is a professional. He`s very dedicated, very conscientious. He is very concerned about being a g...
Richard Crenna
(Recalling a personal encounter with comedian Jerry Seinfeld): "When my show, "Get a Life" (1990), first aired on Fox and "Seinfeld" (1990) first aired, it was around the same time. Surprisingly, "Get a Life" (1990) was doing slightly better. Jerry and I ...
Chris Elliott
You, I, we all encounter behaviors that we might say, I wouldn`t do that. But she has a huge amount of contact with how people live. She sees more hospices and sink estates than most people.
Prince Andrew
You will encounter many distractions and many temptations to put your goal aside: The security of a job, a wife who wants kids, whatever. But if you hang in there, always following your vision, I have no doubt you will succeed.
Larry Flynt
When we come into the present, we begin to feel the life around us again, but we also encounter whatever we have been avoiding. We must have the courage to face whatever is present / our pain, our desires, our grief, our loss, our secret hopes our love / ...
Aristodemus
When I`m about ready to press the cable release on the View camera, I`ve tried to anticipate some of the challenges I`m going to encounter in the darkroom.

We consider Christmas as the encounter, the great encounter, the historical encounter, the decisive encounter, between God and mankind. He who has faith knows this truly; let him rejoice.

We are certainly at an impasse, because on the grassroots level, we have a lot of ecumenical understanding, encounter, cooperation, even liturgy.
Alexander Eliot
The nearest the modern general or admiral comes to a small-arms encounter of any sort is at a duck hunt in the company of corporation executives at the retreat of Continental Motors, Inc.

Stress is like any other illness or injury - it affects different people differently, ... I do know that stress that public safety personnel encounter in the course of their work is something that`s very real and it`s something that can have a detrimental...

Rather than set aside daily time for prayer, I pray constantly and spontaneously about everything I encounter on a daily basis. When someone shares something with me, I`ll often simply say, `let`s pray about this right now.`
Thomas Kinkade
Over the years you encounter just about every kind of crime. It doesn`t harden you, but you become capable of reporting on just about anything human beings can do. However, any time we`re dealing with the murder of a child it is always difficult.
Catherine Crier
Often for young men of Strom Thurmond`s class, their first sexual encounter was with a black domestic. This is not very uncommon at all. .... They abused that power. It might not be rape in the physical sense, but there had to have been some element of co...
