A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men
Martin Fraquhar Tupper
That`s what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end
Lise Hand
Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best ...
William Butler Yeats
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity
William Butler Yeats
Spring passes and one remembers one`s innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one`s exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one`s reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one`s perseverance.
John Lennon
it`s not your client`s obligation, or your obligation, to prove your client`s innocence. It is the prosecution`s obligation to -- to prove you`re client`s guilt.
Anderson Cooper
I think that freshness and that innocence is something that is missing from a lot of female singers. I`m certainly not denying that I`m young, but I`m not fluff.
Jessica Simpson
[on Peter Lorre] Peter Lorre was one of the finest and most subtle actors I have ever worked with. Beneath that air of innocence he used to such effect, one sensed a Faustian worldliness. I`d know he was giving a good performance as we put it on film but ...
John Huston
But we have to remember that almost all films are written and directed by men. Female characters are women imagined by men, so it`s always this classic figure of a sexy woman with a childish innocence.
Natalie Portman
[On preparing for his character in Liberty Heights (1999)] The big goal for me was just to get the mental state of mind, this kind of pure innocence. My generation is pretty jaded, pretty cynical. Everything happens really fast. Too much, too fast. So I g...
Ben Foster
I`ve had parallel careers in the theatre and in movies. In the theatre, I often play characters with a strong sense of innocence who aren`t as intelligent as I am. The reason: my size. I seem sort of big and good-natured on stage. It would be too much for...
John Lithgow
We question a country`s self-mythology. Perfect town and perfect family are - like Westerns - part of America`s mythology, involving notions of past innocence and naïveté. But is it possible for innocence to exist while something heinous transpires elsewh...

David Cronenberg
Her hair is shiny and gleaming as a stallion`s mane, her eyes big and brown as chocolate jawbreakers, her tiny mouth a rosebud of surprise. Packed into her five-foot, four-inch doll`s frame is an intriguing mixture of purloined innocence, succulent sexual...
Genevieve Bujold
I feel like a totally different person than I was two years ago. I feel like so much of my innocence is gone. I`m still me, but this business makes you grow up so fast.
Britney Spears
I am getting tired of these fights [with backers.] Each time you get into a fight the world closes in a bit. You start losing an innocence, a belief that everything is possible. Terry Jones thinks I`m belligerent and egotistical, and that I`ve got to get ...
Terry Gilliam
Whether we knew many who died on September 11 or personally knew none, we all lost something on that day. Innocence. Security. A trust that our homeland would always be safe.
Alaa Hosni
Where I live, nobody who`s fourteen is having sex and doing major drugs. And I think if you see it in the movies, you may be influenced by it. I think it`s so important to preserve your innocence.
Natalie Portman
When you become a parent, or a teacher, you turn into a manager of this whole system. You become the person controlling the bubble of innocence around a child, regulating it.
Kazuo Ishiguro
Remorse is virtue`s root; its fair increase are fruits of innocence and blessedness
William Cullen Bryant
