Comment Quotes
A dramatist is one who believes that the pure event, an action involving human beings, is more arresting than any comment that can be made upon it.
Thornton Wilder
"No comment" is a splendid expression. I am using it again and again.
Winston Churchill
I don't ever try to make a serious social comment.
Paul McCartney
The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to watch somebody else doing it wrong, without comment.
T. H. White
Meek Nature's evening comment on the shows That for oblivion take their daily birth From all the fuming vanities of earth.
William Wordsworth
The one true comment on a piece of music is another piece of music.
Igor Stravinsky
It's too hard for me to comment on the sorry state of our culture.
Trevor Dunn
That's how my career started. Every one of those pictures... came from filmmakers who had to make a comment that racism is wrong.
Sidney Poitier
It is a quaint comment on the notion that the English are practical and the French merely visionary, that we were rebels in arts while they were rebels in arms.
G. K. Chesterton
The "sayings" of a community, its proverbs, are its characteristic comment upon life; they imply its history, suggest its attitude toward the world and its way of accepting life. Such an idiom makes the finest language any writer can have; and he can never get it with a notebook. He himself must be able to think and feel in that speech - it is a gift from heart to heart.
Willa Cather
The artist makes art not to save mankind but to save himself. Every benevolent comment by an artist is a fog to cover his tracks, the bloody trail of his assault against reality and others.
Camille Paglia
Certain political figures think when you call them and ask them for a comment; that you are somehow doing something that you shouldn't be doing.
Bob Woodward
The general election of 1983 has produced one important result that has passed virtually without comment in the media. It is that, for the first time since 1945, a political party with an openly socialist policy has received the support of over eight and a half million people. This is a remarkable development by any standards and it deserves some analysis ... the 1983 Labour manifesto commanded the loyalty of millions of voters and a democratic socialist bridge-head in public understanding and support can be made.
Tony Benn
A newspaper should be the maximum of information, and the minimum of comment.
Richard Cobden
My view is FOX News is a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party and I don't comment on FOX News.
Howard Dean
When we love others, we naturally want to talk about them, we want to show them off, like emotional trophies. We invest them with a power to do to others what they do to us; a vain hope, as the lovers of others are rarely of much interest to us. But we listen in patience, as friends must, and as Isabel now did, refraining from comment, other than to encourage the release of the story and the attendant confession of human frailty and hope.
Alexander McCall Smith
Anyone who claims to be good at lying is obviously bad at lying. Thus - as a writer myself - I cannot comment on whether or not writers are exceptionally good liars, because whatever I said would actually mean its complete opposite.
Chuck Klosterman
I've finally learnt how to say, 'No comment'. To appear in the tabloids is a real learning curve and a steep one at that. You had better learn quick or you get burnt.
Ben Affleck
In movies you can shoot a guy 3,000 times and get a 'PG-13', but if you say the 'F' word twice it's automatically an 'R'. I'll let that be its own comment.
Tom Shadyac
There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability. The sternest comment that can be made against employers as a class lies in the fact that men of Ability usually succeed in showing their worth in spite of their employer, and not with his assistance and encouragement.
Elbert Hubbard
I do think that part of literature's job is to comment on and participate in the social issues of the time.
Linda Sue Park
The simplest comment on my book came from my ballet teacher. She said, "I wish you hadn't made every line funny. It's so depressing."
Quentin Crisp
