The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian unless the latter too be lovers in disguise.

My attitude about Hollywood is that I wouldn't walk across the street to pull one of those executives out of the snow if he was bleeding to death. Not unless I was paid for it. None of them ever did me any favors.

I don't return anybody's calls unless it's going to mean extra money for me. And I've completely cut off all relationships with any friends that I had before the show. And I've copped an attitude.

In my world history comes down to language and art. No one cares much about what battles were fought who won them and who lost them - unless there is a painting a play a song or a poem that speaks of the event.

Our individual lives cannot generally be works of art unless the social order is also.

What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience a thought.

Art has to move you and design does not unless it's a good design for a bus.

Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.

In a decaying society art if it is truthful must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.

I've never really had a hobby unless you count art which the IRS once told me I had to declare as a hobby since I hadn't made money with it.

Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans' anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts and political gifts his presidency and worse our economy will be paralyzed.

One should not lose one's temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end.

And you know when I was growing up I knew I wanted to have kids but I knew I didn't want to do it alone. Then once I was 41 42 I had to accept that I probably wouldn't have kids unless I decided to adopt later on but even then it would be with a partner.

It helps to be able to be alone. 'Cuz writing is done alone unless you collaborate but I don't do that. Ask my ex-wife.

I once had a boyfriend who couldn't write unless he was wearing a necktie and a dress shirt which I thought was really weird because this was a long time ago and no one I knew ever wore dress shirts let alone neckties it was like he was a grown-up reenacter or something.

Talent alone won't make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the right time unless you are ready. The most important question is: 'Are your ready?'

Man does not live by soap alone and hygiene or even health is not much good unless you can take a healthy view of it or better still feel a healthy indifference to it.

A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

Unless we love and are loved each of us is alone each of us is deeply lonely.

I am firmly of the opinion that women who make a lot of effort to hang onto their looks in middle age (unless they are beauties entertainers or prostitutes) are rather sad as one should surely have something more substantial to recommend one by this time such as kindness or cleverness.

Genius is present in every age but the men carrying it within them remain benumbed unless extraordinary events occur to heat up and melt the mass so that it flows forth.

Everybody looks like clones and the only people you notice are my age. I don't notice anybody unless they look great and every now and again they do and they are usually 70.

Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless of course you happen to be a bottle of wine.

Age is not important unless you're a cheese.
