Somehow I had to turn the salted peanuts in the cigar box into petits fours.
Ruta Sepetys
I love to box. I once took a kickboxing class in college and got totally hooked.
Sophia Bush
One day we'll have a system that includes the rights of the people to make money and keep it, rather than a system where you can vote for the fox or the wolf, but there's no little box that endorses the chickens. Our time will come, you can be sure of that.
Stuart Wilde
Color has always been important to me, ever since my first deluxe box of Crayolas.
Susan Vreeland
You know, people call mystery novels or thrillers 'puzzles.' I never understood that, because when I buy a puzzle, I already know what it is. It's on the box. And even if I don't, if it's a 5,000-piece puzzle of the 'Mona Lisa', it's not like I put the last piece in and go, 'I had no idea it's the 'Mona Lisa'!'
Harlan Coben
Worry was my mother's mechanic, her mechanism for engaging with the machinery of living. Worry was an anchor for her, a hook, something to clutch on to in the world. Worry was a box to live inside of, worry a mechanism for evading the present, for re-creating the past, for dealing with the future.
Charles Yu
Yet from the viewpoint of the herd, rather than that of the shepherd, it's hard to avoid the impression that for the vast majority of domesticated animals, the Agricultural Revolution was a terrible catastrophe. Their evolutionary ‘success' is meaningless. A rare wild rhinoceros on the brink of extinction is probably more satisfied than a calf who spends its short life inside a tiny box, fattened to produce juicy steaks. The contented rhinoceros is no less content for being among the last of its kind. The numerical success of the calf's species is little consolation for the suffering the individual endures.
Yuval Noah Harari
I think Ryan Gosling is a really great actor who's meticulous about his work. And I'd love to have the guts that Johnny Depp has to actually go outside the box on a character. When he plays a character, he plays it in a way that nobody else would.
Ashton Kutcher
What's inside the box? Doubt is there. What's another name for doubt? Death is another name for doubt. Death is what inflects the immortal certainty of the universe's process with uncertainty.
Adam Roberts
Every book is a box of ideas.
Blue Balliett
I like down-to-Earth characters, but I also like being able to get outside my box of knowledge.
Britt Robertson
My breakdancing crew used to go to the mall and squat a piece of cardboard there; we had our jam box, and I'd spin on my head and make about forty bucks a day, which was pretty good back then. I was only 14 years old, so I would chase the girls around the mall and eat some pizza and have some change left over.
Vanilla Ice
You have to list all your special skills on a form when you get an agent. There's fencing, stage combat, horse riding, motorbike riding, Spanish, French, German, whatever. I just ticked everything. I talk about 10 languages according to that form. I even ticked the extreme sports box.
Isla Fisher
I was ready to get out of the box and play something a little different than what everybody has seen.
Ice Cube
Repression in the human psyche is tightly bundled. When it has been pulled out of the sprung package so often it is perhaps difficult to push it back in the box.
Graham Joyce
Love seems to be something to approach with caution, as if you'd come across a wrapped box in the middle of the street and have no idea what it contains.
Deb Caletti
The rain battered the cottage. Valkyrie risked a look up at Skulduggery. "What is it?” she whispered. "It's a box,” he whispered back. "What kind of box?” "A wooden one.” She gave him a look.
Derek Landy
I don't care if we have our house, or a cliff ledge, or a cardboard box. Home is wherever we all are, together.
James Patterson
Box office success has never meant anything. I couldn't get a film made if I paid for it myself. So I'm not 'box office' and never have been, and that's never entered into my kind of mind set.
Jessica Lange
She has the heart of a child, you know. Yeah, it's in a box beside her bed. - Kaia Skyhawk.
Gena Showalter
At some level, I feel it is nice to know that a film of yours is doing well at the box office and has also got great reviews. That feels like success.
Deepika Padukone
Once again, we shall have to operate not only outside the box, but outside the room containing the box.
Douglas Preston
