I notice increasing reluctance on the part of marketing executives to use judgment; they are coming to rely too much on research, and they use it as a drunkard uses a lamp post for support, rather than for illumination.
David Ogilvy
The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late.
Ogden Nash
(on his reluctance to expose the mechanics of his acting process) It`s not that I want to pull the shutters down. It`s just that people have such a misconception about what it is I do. They think the character comes from staying in the wheelchair or being...
Daniel Day-Lewis

Alan Shaw
I knew that there were several, among African-American leaders, who had been put out by me because of my failure or reluctance to endorse Sen. Kerry.
Andre Collins
FEMA has directly asked churches to become shelters for victims of Hurricane Katrina, yet they are offering no support to these churches because of FEMA`s general reluctance to work with `uncertified` faith-based organizations.
Tony Perkins
