Baseball and cricket are beautiful and highly stylized medieval war substitutes, chess made flesh, a mixture of proud chivalry and base - in both senses - greed
John Fowles
What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.
Margaret Thatcher
His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking, best, or a pleasant mixture of them all.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Children are much more understanding of the suddenness and arbitrariness of death than we are. The old fairy tales contain a lot of that, and we`ve stolen from them, just as they stole from Greek myth, which has that same mixture of pre-Christian chaos.
Emma Thompson
Scorpios burn themselves out and eat themselves up and they are careless about themselves - like me. I swing between happiness and misery and I cry easily. I am a mixture of my mother`s determination and my father`s optimism. I am part prude and part non-...
Vivien Leigh
[on being a gay icon] I don`t know. I`m sort of aware that I am. But I`m that odd mixture of, on the one hand, being a gay icon and, on the other hand, having grandmas and parents being grateful I`m around to be a babysitter for their kids. And I`ve never...
Julie Andrews
I`m still a tomboy, I think, but I`m getting older and starting to feel all these weird feelings about guys! It`s definitely a mixture of everything. Still wanting to be cute, but I still like sports! It`s just confusing!
Alyson Stoner
I was shocked at the prejudice, voiced in some quarters, over my decision to adopt a mixed-race baby. It`s really surprising that people still put so much emphasis on it. None of us are pure anything. We`re all a mixture. Claudia is a beautiful child, and...
Michelle Pfeiffer
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
You know, I was such a big Beatles fan, and when I`d buy a new album I`d invariably hate it the first time I heard it `cause it was a mixture of absolute joy and absolute frustration. I couldn`t grasp what they`d done, and I`d hate myself for that.
Andy Partridge
You don`t need a uniform color: We used a mixture of brick red, browns and grays, and then threw in seashells, branches and various types of rock, so our walls ended up looking like cave paintings!
Randy Bachman
This moment in time, on this tour, you know, I`m discovering a lot of new things. And to be 45 and doing that, it`s a mixture of pleasure and pain, I can assure you.
Eric Clapton
This is the problem, you gotta get into all this mixture of rock and blues that is happening in a feeble way these days. No one wants to go out and see a guy in a club who really can`t play that well playing through a 300-watt Marshall blowing their face ...
Kim Wilson
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, said an eminent scholar, have God for their Author, the Salvation of mankind for their end, and Truth without any mixture of error for their matter.
Ahmad Wesley
The concert promises to be exceptional this year - there will be a wonderful mixture of old and new solos and arrangements involving everyone.
Stephen Oliver
Some writers would be kinder than others, I`m sure. Hopefully they might describe my techniques as a mixture of tried and tested formulas - if it aint broke don`t fix it - and unexpected twists.
Paul Kane
So, I kind of rather was hoping that people thought it would have a nice mixture of different topics and it also takes in the fact that I`ve had two children recently.
Jo Brand
Our lives are a mixture of different roles. Most of us are doing the best we can to find whatever the right balance is... For me, that balance is family, work, and service.
Andy Hilbert
Once you have a flavor in mind, it`s really about what your supplier can give you. The more exotic ones are made by adding a mixture to a background flavor.
Baba Dioum
Man is a mixture of good and evil, and he can never be perfected in this life. The notion of his natural goodness is a delusive theory which will blow up any social order that is predicated upon it.
Ann Donovan
I`m writing another novel and I know what I`m going to do after, which may be something more like this again, maybe some strange mixture of fiction and non-fiction.
Penelope Lively
