It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men`s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Men always want to be a woman`s first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We woman have a more subtle instinct about things. What we like is to be a man`s last romance.
Oscar Wilde
Melanctha Herbert was always losing what she had in all the things she saw. Melanctha was always being left when she was not leaving others. Melanctha Herbert always loved too hard and much too often. She was always full with mystery and subtle movements ...
Gertrude Stein
Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is the mathematic of not being. And a subtle flavour - we`re more like celery as a flavour.
Mike Myers
I always find it easier to portray myself as being unlikeable and idiotic; to actually play a character that is likeable and engages the audience is far more difficult. It`s a more subtle kind of challenge.
Steve Coogan
[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
Hollywood doesn`t need me. After `Amélie,` I didn`t get any offers that interested me. I have very eclectic tastes, but it`s important for me that a movie be sensitive, clever and subtle.
Audrey Tautou
I can`t give you a definition [of humor]. It is too subtle to be pinned down. I can say that it differs from wit, which exaggerates the truth, while humor presents the truth in an original way.
Ed Wynn
It did not feel like something that was going to take over my life and destroy it. It felt like a subtle flower instead of a manipulative demon. That`s the mystery of heroin. (USA Today)
Corey Feldman
Strangely enough, I don`t like horror pictures at all. I love to make them because they give pleasure to people, but my favourite types of films are much more subtle than horror. I like to watch films like Bridge Over the River Kawi, The Apartment or love...
Peter Cushing
Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is the mathematic of not being. And a subtle flavour - we`re more like celery as a flavour.
Mike Myers
See American Werewolf (In London) is not a comedy. People keep calling it a comedy, it`s very funny I hope, but it is a horror film. We meet these guys in a truckload of sheep. This is not subtle. I mean these boys are dead by the end of the movie. That`s...
John Landis
The United States has it`s own propaganda, but it`s very effective because people don`t realize that it`s propaganda. And it`s subtle, but it`s actually a much stronger propaganda machine than the Nazis had but it`s funded in a different way. With the Naz...
Crispin Glover
Yeah, you know, you like it to come on like gangbusters, but you get into passages that are very interesting and subtle, and sometimes your original intent changes quite a bit.
Roy Lichtenstein
Women`s fashion is a subtle form of bondage. It`s men`s way of binding them. We put them in these tight, high-heeled shoes, we make them wear these tight clothes and we say they look sexy. But they`re actually tied up.
David Duchovny
These findings suggest that subtle, unexplained body mass and weight loss in an older person may be an early sign of AD [Alzheimer`s disease] and can precede the development of obvious memory problems,
David Bennett
These are very subtle things, of course, and I don`t expect everyone to pick them up consciously, but I think that there is something there that you must be able to feel, there is an energy at work that I must trust my audience will be able to pick up at ...
Atom Egoyan
There`s a subtle but critical difference between something that is long term and something in the category of `someday/maybe`. Either a project is an open loop to close, as soon as possible, or it is not.
David Allen
There`s a practical problem about time and energy, and a more subtle problem of what it does to a writer`s head, to continually analyze why they write, where it all comes from, where it`s going to.
Kazuo Ishiguro
There were subtle pressures, and we didn`t really realize where they were coming from, and we had just come back from a tour, a crazy tour, and we were still wet behind the ears and had no idea really what a second album meant.
Nikolai Fraiture
There are infinite shadings of light and shadows and colors... it`s an extraordinarily subtle language. Figuring out how to speak that language is a lifetime job.
Alan Marcus
There are going to be points of contact. That`s just a fact. That it`s not inherently bad. In reality, the way that the two worlds interact are often very, very subtle, almost inarticulatable.
Miranda July
