I am so fond of tea that I could write a whole dissertation on its virtues. It comforts and enlivens without the risks attendant on spirituous liquors. Gentle herb! Let the florid grape yield to thee. Thy soft influence is a more safe inspirer of social j...
James Boswell
It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.
Frederick Douglass

The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed- It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.
William Shakespeare
Well, we have a whole new year ahead of us. And wouldn`t it be wonderful if we could all be a little more gentle with each other, and a little more loving, have a little more empathy, and maybe - next year at this time - we`d like each other a little more...
Judy Garland
When asked who was the better kisser on ER: "All my cast-mates want to know that! They were both special in their own way [laughs]. John and his stubble gave me a rash. With Shane, it was more gentle and smooth. The funniest moment was directly after kiss...

Russell Crowe
People look at me as if I were some sort of monster, but I can`t think why. In my macabre pictures, I have either been a monster-maker or a monster-destroyer, but never a monster. Actually, I`m a gentle fellow. Never harmed a fly. I love animals, and when...
Peter Cushing
[on Alan Ladd] And I worked with Alan Ladd, who along with Gregory Peck was my favorite leading man. He was a beautiful man, charming and gentle, and I think of all my leading men he worked best with me.
Virginia Mayo
I don`t like the wimp syndrome. No matter how ardent a feminist may be, if she is a heterosexual female, she wants the strength of a male companion as well as the sensitivity. The most gentle people in the world are macho males, people who are confident i...
Clint Eastwood
[On Peter Cushing] He really was the most gentle and generous of men. I have often said he died because he was too good for this world.
Christopher Lee

Harry Stanton
[1987 comment on Trevor Howard] I believe Trevor Howard has quite a nice, gentle riposte to unwanted attention. Someone saw him in a bar once and said, "Are you Trevor Howard?". "Yes," he replied, "when I`m working I am."
Charles Dance
Nothing in this world can take the place of devotion. Talent won`t. Genius can`t. Drive, determination, a gentle heart and the will to conquer the odds are some powerful forces.
Grand Bush
I was a little worried about working with kids. I wanted to make sure we didn`t approach it tip-toeing around the stuff that would normally be funny, or make it gentle, rock-a-bye-baby bullshit.
Jack Black
He`s a fallen hero, a very gentle man under that exterior. He`s lived in an environment always ravaged by war and had to be realistic. He wants to use the ring against the enemy instead of destroying it. He doesn`t understand the complexities this piece o...
Sean Bean
[on Dogville (2003)] One day it would be a fairy tale, the next it was a nightmare. Lars [Lars von Trier] was gentle with me - he was gentle and soft, then he would beat me up emotionally when he felt he needed that. I did not always register what was hap...
