Sabi is the color of haikai. It is different from tranquility. For example, if an old man dresses up in armor and helmet and goes to the battlefield, or in colorful brocade kimono, attending (his lord) at a banquet, [sabi] is like this old figure.
Matsuo Basho
Frankly, I adore your catchy slogan "Adoption, not abortion," although no one has been able to figure out, even with expert counseling, how to use adoption as a method of birth control, or at what time of the month it is most effective
Barbara Ehrenreich
We believe that electricity exists, because the electric company keeps sending us bills for it, but we cannot figure out how it travels inside wires.
Dave Barry
For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
If you`re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I`ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don`t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don`t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
Michael Jordan
I work with the director and the other actors, but I figure that is about two inches of something that is a yard long. The other 34 inches is what I have to do myself. So far I have not conflicted with a director or writer or anybody else. But I know basi...

Nobody thought of me as an actress. They just remembered that publicity story about my munching flower petals for breakfast. I even thought of giving up the name `Piper Laurie` because I felt there was a stigma attached to it. I never could figure out jus...
Piper Laurie
[on celebrity] "I have a healthy fear of it. I`m not into the celebrity culture aspect of being an artist. To me it represents extinction. The more people know about you, the less they want to try to figure out what you have to say in your movies, and the...

I think a lot of our lives we spend moving forward, leaping from rock to rock, trying to figure it out. But it`s wonderful to feel in the prime of your life. I feel like I`m in the right place and in the right time with myself. (In Style - February 2006 -...
Uma Thurman
I think I realized there were two communities in Northern Ireland when I was about nine or 10, not because there was any trouble but because in certain years my parents would keep us indoors on the 12th of July. I couldn`t figure that out, because all my ...
Liam Neeson
I have an action figure, and so do my parents, so it`s odd that we all have these dolls of ourselves. It`s a little bit surreal but kind of fun. You can play with the whole family.
Juliet Landau
I figure if I keep my health, I have no intention of retiring. I love to work. I want to be like Bob Hope. I want to keep on going out and doing what I love to do. Of course, I`m no Bob Hope, but I mean that feeling that you never are old and have things ...
Dolly Parton
In the second grade, I went to a friend`s house and we snuck into the original Nightmare on Elm Street. I was absolutely terrified for a month, because I had never been allowed to watch movies like this. My mother had to take me to the pediatrician to fig...
Monica Keena
I moved from New Jersey to California, so I know what it feels like being the new girl trying to figure it all out. There was this girl in the popular group who was jealous of me, even though I bought my own clothes and car-my parents didn`t give them to ...
Ashley Tisdale
[On her Rachel, Rachel (1968) director and husband Paul Newman being snubbed in the Best Director category by the Academy Awards in 1969] "How do you figure it? He even won the New York Film Critics award that year for it, but didn`t get in as one of the ...
Joanne Woodward
It took me several years to figure out who I am and a few more to accept what I discovered. Now, I`m in the enjoyment stage of that process and it`s a happy place. (April 2005)
Jolene Blalock
I reached the point now, where I have become as comfortable on a movie set as I am on stage. Before, I was trying to figure it out, how much should I emote, where should I stand? But now I know more about the camera, and what goes into the mix, technicall...
Imelda Staunton
Oh, I`m a ballad queen for sure... I don`t dig dance stuff very much but I seem to hit the charts with it. Go figure... (on her material)
Phyllis Hyman
It never occurs to me that acting with a superstar is something to worry about. I figure the bigger, the better, because more will be demanded of me.
Peter Riegert
[on raising his daughter] Girls are complicated. The instruction manual that comes with girls is 800 pages, with chapters 14, 19, 26 and 32 missing, and it`s badly translated, hard to figure out.
Hugh Laurie
Love one person, take care of them until you die. You know, raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are. And figure out what you personally love. And like go after it with everything you`ve got no matter how much i...
Angelina Jolie
The good thing about bicycling is that, since I`m a public figure, I don`t have to interact with people. If I walk from here to West Broadway, 50 people will stop me. On my bike, I can just wave. More public figures should ride bikes. It`s a good way to d...
Vincent Gallo
If I`ve learned anything at all, it`s that I know nothing about women. They remain a mystery. But I`ve learned to stop trying to figure them out. There`s no end to the journey, and that`s what makes it so compelling.
Charlie Sheen
I had to go to a mirror and look at it. I couldn`t picture myself in my own head. I had no image beyond a stick figure. I wasn`t a mean person as a kid, or dumb, and something has to be said to justify excluding you.
Uma Thurman
Speaking in grand understatment about her famous catwalk figure; "I have a bit here and a bit there. Or as we say in Denmark, something to the courtyard and something to the street.""
