Napoleon Bonaparte
And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.
William Gibson
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Well, my parents were working people. You just worked. I`ve always wanted a long career, not an instant one. I left Rada, I worked in rep for six years, then I came to London and came to the National Theatre. What`s better than that? I don`t know what`s b...
Imelda Staunton
He [Bruce Wayne] is Batman. He became Batman the instant his parents were murdered. Batman needs Bruce, however hollow that identity feels to him from time to time. Bruce keeps Batman human. On Michael Keaton -

Acting is instant enjoyment and childlike. As an actor, Lord God, I can take an audience in a theatre and throw them in any direction. I can`t do that as a writer. Writing is painful, it`s lonely and you suffer and there`s no immediate feedback.
Robert Shaw
It should go without saying I suppose that looked at through British Media Eyes circa 2004, my appearance anywhere on anything will be open to ridicule and instant dismissal. Please don`t get me wrong...I really don`t expect everyone to like what I do, bu...

Paul Rudd
My relationship with Lauren is nothing like the roles we play on the show. I am just crazy about my girls. Practically from the moment [Lauren and I] met, we had an instant connect. We never even had to discuss what we wanted to do with our roles. It`s as...

On his life-long friend and frequent co-star, Judy Garland: "Judy turned to drugs because she was in pain and because drugs made her feel good. As one of the MGM kids, she`d been treated for most of her life to magical, instant, solutions to everything......
Mickey Rooney
All women are aware of that moment when suddenly the boys don`t look at you. It`s a fairly common thing, when suddenly you no longer attract that instant male attention because of the way you look. I never really knew how to enjoy beauty, but it took the ...
Julie Christie
It`s our sexuality, our one weapon that a man doesn`t have, so you can take him down to size in an instant. I couldn`t imagine not being a female, being able to just go into a club, and just work it, and control the situation.
Willa Ford
When the human mind exists in the light of reason and no more than reason, we may say with absolute certainty that Man and all that made him will be in that instant gone.
Alph Bingham
When he says he loves me, it only means he loves me at that particular instant. Like his promises, which he never keeps. Why does he torment me like this, when he could finish it off at once?
Eva Braun
We`ve really hit an inflection point where people have brought instant messaging into the workplace and it now has become a business critical tool that people use every day to get their jobs done. The vast majority of this growth is being fueled actually ...

We`ve already seen the yen hit a little bit by people moving away from instant belief that there was going to be an interest-rate tightening. Japanese economy is still quite robust and my mid-year expectation is the yen will strengthen from where it is to...
Jack Rosenthal
We`re seeing an epidemic of people who are having a hard time making the transition to work — kids who had too much success early in life and who`ve become accustomed to instant gratification, ... Ready or Not, Here Life Comes.
