Do not think of your faults, still less of others` faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.
John Ruskin
We have to be careful in this era of radical feminism, not to emphasize an equality of the sexes that leads women to imitate men to prove their equality. To be equal does not mean you have to be the same.
Eva Burrows
[1985 quote on Goldie Hawn] Goldie does something that none of the other actresses can do. She has a whimsy and a comedic ability that no one else has. We can all imitate her, but we can`t get near it. I don`t think that Goldie has yet branched out as muc...
Sally Field
Nobody can imitate me. You can always see impersonations of Katharine Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. But not me. Because I`ve always drawn on myself only.
Joan Crawford
[on director Edmund Goulding] He did something that drove actors crazy. He`d get out there and act out everybody`s role for them -- even the women! And we were supposed to imitate him. We wanted to give our own interpretations.
Joan Blondell
On Taxi Driver (1976): "I think it`s one of the finest films that`s ever been made in America. It`s a statement about America. About violence. About loneliness. Anonymity. Some of the best works are those that have tried to imitate that kind of film, that...
Jodie Foster
Yes and for two reasons: one, I couldn`t find anything to imitate at the time, and secondly because what I heard on the radio didn`t bear any resemblance to what I wanted to hear on the guitar.
Leo Kottke
We didn`t know about the rest of the world. We just knew the pictures that we saw on TV, and it was so different that we wanted to try to imitate that, to a certain extent.
Al Woods
We airbrushed satin to make it look like chinchilla fur, ... We used silk and synthetic threads to imitate ermines and fluffy fabrics and then used silk chiffon and quilted it to look like sheared beaver.
Todd Oldham
Washington`s entire honesty of mind and his fearless look into the face of all facts are qualities which can never go out of fashion and which we should all do well to imitate.
Henry Cabot Lodge
There`s so much that has been before the human race, and just contemplating that and then the earliest forms of communication, hand claps, body slaps and then ultimately the drum, which was really the first way that man could imitate the first sound they ...
Rick Savage
The way that we imitate each others` riffs is something that other bands don`t do as much. If we`re jamming with a jazz band, or I am jamming with a jazz band, I have to catch myself, the tendency is always to do that.
Mike Gordon
Pac-Man didn`t occupy its place in commercial culture because consumers wanted to metaphorically imitate an insatiably hungry little yellow ball; they bought because the game was good enough to tap into genuine sources of pleasure
Chris Green
Man`s natural character is to imitate; that of the sensitive man is to resemble as closely as possible the person whom he loves. It is only by imitating the vices of others that I have earned my misfortunes.
Marquis de Sade
Just as the slave master required the slaves to imitate the image he had of them, so women, who live in a relatively powerless position, politically and economically, feel obliged by a kind of implicit force to live up to culture`s image of what is female...
Andres Cibotti
If we cannot follow her physical footsteps throughout the troubled Middle East, what we can imitate are her attitudes, which in essence pertain to faith and love, ... She was a dwelling place for God, and so are we.
Mary Ford
I wasn`t actually trained by my mother, she said she never taught me but she was a great singer herself and I can`t remember when I didn`t listen to her sing and imitate her.
Joan Sutherland
I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me.
Kevin Spacey
I don`t want to imitate life in movies; I want to represent it. And in that representation, you use the colors you feel, and sometimes they are fake colors. But always it`s to show one emotion.
Pedro Almodovar
Do not think of your faults, still less of others` faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.
