We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible

I think it’s important for people to know that no matter what scars you carry, no matter what mistakes you’ve made, you are enough

I think the most challenging thing for me in my career has been overcoming people’s perception of me. I’ve always been in a box, and I think breaking out of that box is very difficult

When someone is depressed, like how they want to pull the trigger, swallow pills, or hang themselves. They think It’s the only way to cope with that situation.

Playing a role is an easy act, but when you stop doing it, it’s almost like you need to think again about the process.

To be fair, I don’t think it’s a plague to say I have the misfortune of making movies for a living.

To be a textual critic requires aptitude for thinking and willingness to think; and though it also requires other things, those things are supplements and cannot be substitutes. Knowledge is good, method is good, but one thing beyond all others is necessary; and that is to have a head, not a pumpkin, on your shoulders and brains, not pudding, in your head.

To think that two and two are four And neither five nor three The heart of man has long been sore And long ’tis like to be.

Why is it parents think they help their kids by pretending things are better than they are?

The best stories are the ones that make you think

He thought how sad it was to be an Animal who had never had a bunch of violets picked for him.

But now I am six. And I’m clever as clever. And now I think I’ll stay six now forever and ever.

No brain at all, some of them [people], only grey fluff that’s blown into their heads by mistake, and they don’t Think.

Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits…

Think it over, think it under.

Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.

Some people care too much. I think it’s called love

A particularly American ability to come up with consistently dreadful names for new things. Just as there is an inspiring national talent to invent stuff and to think forward, so there is an equal and opposite imaginative black hole when it comes to naming the stuff: the conflation and truncation of words, adding extraneous vowels and hyphens to the portmanteau

It must be said that almost all primitive people think themselves divinely wrought, singled out and special. Often their names translate simply as “the people” or, like the San bushmen of the Kalahari, the first people. But this is a symptom of primitiveness; attempting to prove divine biology in the nineteenth century is the anthropological equivalent of a society regressing to sleeping with the lights on

I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!

How much pain they have cost us, the evils which have never happened.

Dream and deed are not as different as many think. All the deeds of men are dreams at first, and become dreams in the end.

I think the devil doesn’t exist, but man has created him, he has created him in his own image and likeness.

Man is a creature that can get accustomed to anything, and I think that is the best definition of him.

A thought, even a possibility, can shatter and transform us.

How do you think I’m going to get along

Without you when you’re gone

I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics

Oh, I was not made for heaven. No, I don’t want to go to heaven. Hell is much better. Think of all the interesting people you’re going to meet down there

I’m tired, can’t think of anything and want only to lay my face in your lap, feel your hand on my head and remain like that through all eternity.

Just think how many thoughts a blanket smothers while one lies alone in bed, and how many unhappy dreams it keeps warm.

I do not speak as I think, I do not think as I should, and so it all goes on in helpless darkness.

I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us.

I write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness.

f

The ablest man I ever met is the man you think you are.

I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm

I am neither bitter nor cynical, but I do wish there was less immaturity in political thinking.

Certification from one source or another seems to be the most important thing to people all over the world. A piece of paper from a school that says you’re smart, a pat on the head from your parents that says you’re good or some reinforcement from your peers that makes you think what you’re doing is worthwhile. People are just waiting around to get certified

Kid’s heads are filled with so many nonfacts that when they get out of school they’re totally unprepared to do anything. They can’t read, they can’t write, they can’t think. Talk about child abuse. The U.S. school system as a whole qualifies

I’m vile and perverted. I’m obsessed and deranged. I’ve existed for years but very little has changed. I’m the tool of the government and industry too. For I’m destined to rule and regulate you. You may think I’m pernicious, but you can’t look away. I’ll make you think I’m delicious with the stuff that I say. I’m the best you can get… Have you guessed me yet? I’m the slime oozing out of your TV set.

I think it’s really tragic when people get serious about stuff. It’s such an absurdity to take anything really seriously… I make an honest attempt not to take anything seriously: I worked that attitude out about the time I was eighteen, I mean, what does it all mean when you get right down to it, what’s the story here? Being alive is so weird

I think that if a person doesn’t feel cynical then they’re out of phase with the 20th century. Being cynical is the only way to deal with modern civilization – you can’t just swallow it whole.

I don’t think that anybody has ever seen the real Frank Zappa because being interviewed is one of the most abnormal things that you can do to somebody else. It’s two steps removed from the Inquisition

You come to a point in your life when you really don’t care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself

I think if you have ability and talent in one way, you have it in all ways. I’m not a jack of all trades; I’m a master of many. I don’t feel there is anything I can’t do if I want to.

If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not, I do not care.

It’s silly not to hope. It’s a sin he thought.

Let him think that I am more man than I am and I will be so.

Isn’t it pretty to think so.

I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it.

Think of God and not religion, of ecstasy and not mysticism. The difference between the theoretician of faith and the believer is as great as between the psychiatrist and the psychotic.

Each time I fail to think about death, I have the impression of cheating, of deceiving someone in me.

Beware of thinkers whose minds function only when they are fueled by a quotation.

Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking, loving and dreaming. At night everything is more intense, more true. The echo of words that have been spoken during the day takes on a new and deeper meaning.

Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories.

Think higher, feel deeper.

Is it the look in your eyes or is it this dancing juice? Who cares, baby, I think I wanna marry you

When I compliment her, she won’t believe me And it’s so, it’s so Sad to think that she don’t see what I see

My neighbours think I’m crazy But they don’t understand You’re all I had

I think it’s my responsibility, as a person of influence—to sometimes try to do what I can

If you think you’re perfect already, then you never will be.

I don’t think about one trick or the other, they just happen.

I still learn, but I think it’s the best thing in life to have a kid.

When I win awards, I think of my father.

People are going to think I’m crazy.

I’m no longer thinking of Madrid. That dream is dead. The only thing I dream about now is Manchester United and winning the Champions League again in Rome.

I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

I think we should all focus on who we are, what we want to do, and do it. That is my way. I don’t know why anyone would want to do that politics stuff.

We take greater pains to persuade others that we are happy than in endeavoring to think so ourselves

The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.

It ain’t as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.

Every picture has its own demands, and every picture stimulates something within you to tell it a certain way. I don’t know what that is; I don’t think too much about that.

Everybody thinks making films back to back is a big deal but they did it all the time in the old days.

The Bible is a manual for enslavement, for the subjugation of women, for the control of populations, for the genocidal extermination of competing tribes, for the dissolution of the autonomy of the powerful state, for the infiltration of human thought, for the diabolical control of those who wish to be free men and women.

I have always found it quaint and rather touching that there is a movement [Freemasonry] in the U.S. that thinks Americans are not yet selfish enough

The moment you say that any idea system is sacred, whether it’s a religious belief system or a secular ideology, the moment you declare a set of ideas to be immune from criticism, satire, derision, or contempt, freedom of thought becomes impossible

People think, ‘Well, religion is good for mankind. It must be worth teaching it to children.’ Well, you have to look at the texts. You have to say, ‘Do I, as a parent, if I can avoid it, want my child to be taught this?’

The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks

The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.

We’ve been looking for the enemy for some time now. We’ve finally found him. We’re surrounded. That simplifies things.

It’s a sad thing not to have friends, but it is even sadder not to have enemies.

The nights I don’t sleep it’s because there’s a higher calling telling me to stand guard.

Athletes become our heroes, because they’re superhuman. They do things nobody else can do. They’re better than 6 billion other people.

I usually have a song in my head. I’m thinking music, I’m thinking lyrics. Music helps me get to those moments. The moments between the moments.

I was born dead. Yeah, the umbilical cord was like, floppy baby, the whole thing. Yeah, it was bad.

Sure, I did a lot of things in excess. But if you look at the core, the foundation of what I pursued, what red-blooded young American male in my position wouldn’t?

I think I have a duty as a recovering guy to help, to make my knowledge of what I went through accessible.

People ask all the time, “What are you thinking?” It’s my least favorite question in the world. The last bastion of solace is my mind. It’s an invasion.

I feel I am privileged to express hope. The hope is this: that we shall have peace throughout the world, that we shall abolish wars and settle all international differences at the conference table, and that we shall abolish all atom and hydrogen bombs before they abolish us. The future of the modern world demands modern thinking. Therefore, let us use the full force of our intelligence instead of obsolete homicidal methods in settling our international differences.

Think about yourself at least once in your life otherwise, you may miss the best comedy in this world.

Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish.

The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.

If we hold this thought, work with this thought, and live with this thought, it will generate a spirit that will increase our energy and quicken our drive

To be a soul winner is the happiest thing in this world. And with every soul you bring to Jesus Christ, you seem to get a new heaven here upon earth.

I think you may judge of a man’s character by the persons whose affection he seeks. If you find a man seeking only the affection of those who are great, depend upon it he is ambitious and self-seeking; but when you observe that a man seeks the affection of those who can do nothing for him, but for whom he must do everything, you know that he is not seeking himself, but that pure benevolence sways his heart.

Is there nothing to sing about to-day? Then borrow a song from tomorrow; sing of what is yet to be. Is this world dreary? Then think of the next.

We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

Think now and then that there is a man who would give his life, to keep a life you love beside you.

It is because I think so much of warm and sensitive hearts, that I would spare them from being wounded.

Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.

There are very few men-and they are the exceptions-who are able to think and feel beyond the present moment

Principles and rules are intended to provide a thinking man with a frame of reference.

If we offer too much silent assent about mysticism and superstition – even when it seems to be doing a little good – we abet a general climate in which scepticism is considered impolite, science tiresome, and rigorous thinking somehow stuffy and inappropriate.

But I try not to think with my gut. If I’m serious about understanding the world, thinking with anything besides my brain, as tempting as that might be, is likely to get me into trouble.

If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.

I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.

When we think of the unending growth and decay of life and civilizations, we cannot escape the impression of absolute nullity.”

Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge

Only if we know that the thing which truly matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interests upon futilities, and upon all kinds of goals which are not of real importance

We meet ourselves time and again in a thousand disguises on the path of life.

It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves

The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.

Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.

I thought that after giving birth to my daughter that six weeks would be enough time for me to recover mentally and physically. I also thought that I’d be able to bring her with me on tour, but I think I underestimated this whole mommy thing

Make more than the guys you thought you wanted to be with

I need to make money for my family and my future family. I’m not a YOLO person. I think 25 years from now. I think about my future kids, future husband, future house.

A lot of people when they meet me will be like, you are just like your Instagram video. I’m like, b**** I know. That’s who I am

I think beautiful is like looking like you take care of yourself

The appropriation of public money always is perfectly lovely until someone is asked to pay the bill. If we are to have a billion dollars of navy, half a billion of farm relief, the people will have to furnish more revenue by paying more taxes. It is for them, through their Congress, to decide how far they wish to go.

I think the American public wants a solemn ass as a president, and I think I’ll go along with them

Our epoch is a birth-time, and a period of transition. The spirit of man has broken with the old order of things hitherto prevailing, and with the old ways of thinking, and is in the mind to let them all sink into the depths of the past and to set about its own transformation.

He is able who thinks he is able.

Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has something to forgive

God will not be used as a convenience. Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of heaven as a shortcut to the nearest chemist’s shop

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.

Relaxation is a physical state, but it is controlled by the mental state. It is acquired by the conscious effort to control the thought as well as the action pattern. It takes perception, practice and willingness to train the mind into new habits of thinking and the body into new habits of action.

The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or defeat.

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.

Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality in your own mind

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.

Any teammate of mine that had a kid and a boy that was capable of playing baseball, I think I set a terrific example of ‘Don’t do this’ and ‘Don’t do that.’ And that’s one of the things that I’m most proud of.

No, woman, no cry.

He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break.

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.

But I don’t think of you.

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people’s minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

Religion is like drugs; it destroys the thinking mind.
