We had common interests in the beauty of the French language. We both had a tremendous love of jazz. We shared dreams of getting married and having a family living in the country leading an idyllic life.

It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one's equations and if one has really a sound insight one is on a sure line of progress.

I wasn't afraid of getting old because I was never a great beauty.

The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer.

Football is my profession now. I'm getting married in August... It's a new experience for me as someone just getting out of college. I still have the same attitude about football I always had. I play hard. I enjoy practice. I'd rather be throwing in passing drills than sitting around and watching TV.

I think one of the things that language poets are very involved with is getting away from conventional ideas of beauty because those ideas contain a certain attitude toward women certain attitudes toward sex certain attitudes toward race etc.

I'm just part of a tradition of people who aren't pleased. I would never think anyone else who has the same attitude was getting it from me. I'd just think they're... sensible.

I was always the guy getting kicked out of my classes at school for having an attitude problem.

The art of being sick is not the same as the art of getting well.

Ability is the art of getting credit for all the home runs somebody else hits.
