Worn Quotes - page 8

As in respect of the first wonder we are all on the same level, how comes it that the philosophic mind should, in all ages, be the privilege of a few? The most obvious reason is this: The wonder takes place before the period of reflection, and (with the great mass of mankind) long before the individual is capable of directing his attention freely and consciously to the feeling, or even to its exciting causes. Surprise (the form and dress which the wonder of ignorance usually puts on) is worn away, if not precluded, by custom and familiarity. (Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
The prettiest dresses are worn to be taken off. View quote
Jean Cocteau
What uniform can I wear to hide my heavy heart? It is too heavy. It will always show. Jacques felt himself growing gloomy again. He was well aware that to live on earth a man must follow its fashions, and hearts were no longer worn. View quote
Jean Cocteau
Buonaparte has often made his boast that our fleet would be worn out by keeping the sea and that his was kept in order and increasing by staying in port; but know he finds, I fancy, if Emperors hear the truth, that his fleet suffers more in a night than ours in one year. View quote
Horatio Nelson
Bonaparte has often made his boast, that our fleet would be worn out by keeping the sea, that his was kept in order, and increasing, by staying in port; but he now finds, I fancy, if emperors hear truth, that his fleet suffers more in a night, than ours in one year; however, thank God, the Toulon fleet is got in order again, and I hear the troops embarked, and I hope they will come out to sea in fine weather.

Horatio Nelson
A stair not worn hollow by footsteps is, regarded from its own point of view, only a boring something made of wood. View quote

As that the walls worn thin, permit the mind To look out thorough, and his frailty find. 1. View quote
Samuel Daniel
The old theology had few if any fast colors, and it has become very faded and worn under the fierce light and intense activity of our day. Let it go; it is outgrown and outworn. What mankind will finally clothe themselves with to protect them from the chill of the great void, or whether or not they will clothe themselves at all, but become toughened and indifferent, is more than I can pretend to say. For my part, the longer I live the less I feel the need of any sort of theological belief, and the more I am content to let unseen powers go on their way with me and mine without question or distrust. They brought me here, and I have found it well to be here; in due time they will take me hence, and I have no doubt that will be well for me too. View quote
John Burroughs
I've always worn a lot of Ralph Lauren, and plaid shirts in general have been a signature piece for me. With plaid, you can look super-relaxed or you can look a bit dressed up. View quote
Avicii
If those who hold influence over others fail to lead toward the spiritual uplands, then surely the path to the lowlands will be well worn. (J. Oswald Sanders)
The thing about Uggs is that they're so comfortable. Once you've worn them, you don't want to go back. View quote
Tamara Mellon
Down a path worn into the woods, past a stream and a hollowed-out log full of pill bugs and termites, was a glass coffin. It rested right on the ground, and in it slept a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointed as knives. View quote
Holly Black
This was what happened after you'd been together with someone a long time. You loved that it was old and worn and comfy, but sometimes it was old and worn and comfy. View quote
Deb Caletti
I can look back at things I've done and said and worn and be completely humiliated by them, but I can never say it wasn't me. I feel really honored to say that. View quote
Debby Ryan
I grew up on the South Island of New Zealand, in a city chosen and beloved by my parents for its proximity to the mountains - Christchurch is two hours distant from the worn saddle of Arthur's Pass, the mountain village that was and is my father's spiritual touchstone, his chapel and cathedral in the wild. View quote
Eleanor Catton
What I wear is a reflection of where I am going and how I am feeling. If I'm in a good mood, it's got to be cashmere and jeans - just something comfy, soft and warm. When I'm down, I might find something that I haven't worn for a while that was bought for me - or wear a brooch or a pair of shoes that are like old friends. View quote
Kim Cattrall
Always be available to your kids. Because if you say, 'Give me five minutes, give me ten minutes,' it'll be 15, it'll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will have worn off whatever it is they wanted to share with you. View quote
Michael Fox
In my whole life, I've worn black tie three times. I can't tie the knot myself. View quote
Stefano Gabbana
'The New York Times' is inherent in what we are, but not worn as 'what we are'; it's important and crucial to all of us, but not something that was drilled in, in any specific ways. View quote
Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr.
The Prophet and I used to take a bath from a single pot while we were Junub. During the menses, he used to order me to put on an Izar (dress worn below the waist) and used to fondle me. (Aisha)
It's not just how they feel about it, but what it feels like to wear. It's not a comfortable process to go through, on a daily basis, and actors will often complain about how I torture them and stuff. I don't want to torture them - though in some cases I do [laughs] - but I also want to know if they're just being a baby or if they're being realistic about it. So I'll try it on to see which is the most uncomfortable, or what might become annoying after a number of days. So at least I know what it's like on the other side, so I can sympathise with them, or tell them they're full of crap, or whatever. Because I've worn it, and I know it's not that bad. View quote
Rick Baker
We're all like tools. Not only like tools, we are tools, tools of Time. We're worn into grooves by Time - by our habits. In the end, these grooves are going to show whether we've been second-rate or champions, each in his way, in dispatching the affairs of every day. By choosing our habits, we determine the grooves into which Time will wear us; and these are grooves that enrich our lives and make for ease of mind, peace, happiness - achievement. View quote
Frank Bunker Gilbreth, Sr.
I was in and out of comas until I was nine and I would lose entire days and weeks. The novelty of being able to really do stuff hasn't worn off - I still feel like I'm making up for lost time. View quote
Jim Davis
As great as it is, 'Vogue' won't change a designer's business. But if an unknown brand is worn by a certain person in a tabloid, it will be the biggest designer within a week. View quote
