Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self`s actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himsel...
Viktor Frankl
It sounds paradoxical to say the attainment of scientific truth has been effected, to a great extent, by the help of scientific errors
Thomas Henry Huxley
The extent of your consciousness is limited only by your ability to love and to embrace with your love the space around you, and all it contains
Napoleon Bonaparte
Temperament lies behind mood; behind will, lies the fate of character. Then behind both, the influence of family the tyranny of culture; and finally the power of climate and environment; and we are free, only to the extent we rise above these.
John Burroughs
To the extent that the judicial profession becomes the daily routine of deciding cases on the most secure precedents and the narrowest grounds available, the judicial mind atrophies and its perspective shrinks.
Irving R. Kaufman
We must respect the other fellow`s religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.
Bill Lovejoy
By self-interest, Man has become gregarious, but in instinct he has remained to a great extent solitary; hence the need of religion and morality to reinforce self-interest
Bertrand Russell
I know people compare me to Kate [Moss] a lot after that media hype started. But it`s not that I`m trying to get her look, truly not. But I like what she`s wearing and we seem to share taste to a certain extent.
Sienna Miller
[on James Cagney] Jimmy Cagney was the most dynamic man who ever appeared on the screen. He should have won five Oscars, he was so fabulous. He stimulated me to such an extent. I must say that I didn`t have to act very much; I just had to react to him bec...
Virginia Mayo
Since I`m into modeling, I know young girls always try to watch their weight and what they look like. And it is important to some extent but...I`ve known girls who have gone through a lot of problems with dieting, and it`s not worth it. It`s terrible to t...
Tiffani Thiessen
[Talking about Daniel Craig]: "I think when Craig first took the (James Bond) part he got a pretty rough ride, which to a certain extent is inevitable because there are so many different people who have so many different ideas about something like that. Y...
Clive Owen
I like America to some extent. Take the Japanese for instance. They are complicated and tend to be reserved in expressing themselves. Sometimes, it is difficult for me to understand them. Americans are simple and clear. They are charming people. You will ...
Michael Moore
I was incredibly shy when I first got into the business, I still am to some extent. I`ve overcome that shyness through contact sports, but I wanted to find that same confidence interacting with people through acting instead of in the ring.
Dolph Lundgren
When we decide to live for ourselves rather than choosing to live God`s way, thats exactly what we do - condemn ourselves to destruction. To some extent, selfishness always leads to death of some sort.
Rebecca St. James
I stopped appearing as Dracula in 1972 because in my opinion the presentation of the character had deteriorated to such an extent, particularly bringing him into the contemporary day and age, that it really no longer had any meaning.
Christopher Lee
I think as a kid I wasn`t even aware of the extent to which my freedom was being infringed upon. We`re conditioned not even to know that we`re not free. When you think about what we all believe America to be, it just seems ludicrous that so much of Americ...
Robert Gant
On filming Star Wars: "You learn after your first blue-screen movie, and more after your second, the extent to which you have to prepare. You have to come up with the scenery, the characters, the whole world, as well as what`s going on with you. You`re of...
Natalie Portman
(On himself) "My best quality is that I`m a big hearted person. I`m resilient, too. My worst quality is selfishness, although everyone is guilty of that to an extent. Everyone should be, I think -- you need to respect yourself."
Matthew McConaughey
Of course, I was like most people saying, `Oh, that`s crazy,` and to a certain extent it is crazy. But where it`s true is that music effects you on a spiritual level. You`re either going to convey positively or negatively when it comes to that. If your me...
Adam Pascal
I decided at 15 that I didn`t want to be one of those artists that gets up and sings love songs they don`t mean. I decided that I was going to be me to the fullest extent, that my songs were going to reflect relationships I`ve had, things I`ve been throug...
Pink
I realized as I got older that I could choose to be an actor to a certain extent, but movie stardom is not something you choose. It chooses you. You have very little control over that. So I stopped considering that an option.
Martha Plimpton
It`s not my style to either wear minimum clothes, to strip or to even be comfortable with a sex-symbol label. I just want to do good work instead of sporting such meaningless tags. Sex sells, but to a small extent, not always. And this is what filmmakers ...
Katrina Kaif
[on portraying famous people]: It`s a double-edged sword because, in one sense, you have a lot of material to work with, but in a strange kind of way, that puts up a framework that you have to keep within. You can`t play Beethoven with pink hair but, to a...
Gary Oldman
On her role Kate in My Sister`s Keeper (2009): There are scripts when you fall so much in love with your character. And if you are lucky and offered this part you should not tempt your fate and go to the greatest extent to be/to play this character. If yo...
Sofia Vassilieva
You learn to rely on a few basic movements and use your voice to the greatest extent possible to convey your emotions. So there was a technical challenge there and a responsibility to create a character from behind the mask.
Helena Carter
