John Arlotthat whole phrase, "daring greatly," is from the Theodore Roosevelt quote that goes back to your original question of, what about the critics?

Brenรฉ BrownI'm constantly playing this game in my head where I'm thinking, 'Can this quote be pared down and misinterpreted?'

Michael LewisPeople are timid and apologetic; they are no longer upright; they dare not say "I think," "I am," but quote some saint or sage.

Ralph Waldo EmersonI'll always remember the phrase of my husband: "Racism is never surprising, but it is always disappointing." Anytime I see it or I feel it, that quote comes back. This is something that has to be constantly talked about in order to be changed.

Werner HerzogAs a theatrical troupe, the Muppets haven't exactly been AWOL these past dozen years; the gang rocked YouTube in 2009 with their kick-ass rendition of Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' But they've certainly been lying low while our twitchy, tweet-y times have favored snarkier, more air-quote-driven entertainment, even from puppets. And in a way, that showbiz hiatus has worked in favor of The Muppets. For adults, the movie's gentle, clever, unironic humor feels freshly, trendily retro now, enhanced by laughs provided in cameos from a very up-to-date roster of stars.
Lisa SchwarzbaumAfter all this time and all this, quote, "experience," how is she [Hillary Clinton] not better at this [military]?

Barry SonnenfeldI've been keeping a diary for thirty-three years and write in it every morning. Most of it's just whining, but every so often there'll be something I can use later: a joke, a description, a quote. It's an invaluable aid when it comes to winning arguments. 'That's not what you said on February 3, 1996,' I'll say to someone.

Tavi GevinsonMany people operate as though the definition of faith were, Don't ask questions, just believe.

But I once heard Francis Schaeffer respond by saying, "Don't you realize how many questions children ask?"

What would remain to me if this art of appropriation were derogatory to genius?

My work is an aggregation of beings taken from the whole of nature. It bears the name of Goethe.
Ralph Waldo EmersonRaymond Carver had the quote that I loved about how he felt that a short story was the moment right before someone's life was about to fall apart. You can't really do that with a novel, but with a story you're just left hanging.

The New York Times ran an editorial posing the question, "President Bannon?" wrote, quote, "We've never witnessed a political aide move as brazenly to consolidate power as Stephen Bannon - nor have we seen one do quite so much damage so quickly to his putative boss's popular standing or pretenses of competence."

Samuel Laman BlanchardA good thought is indeed a great boon, for which God is to be first thanked; next he who is the first to utter it, and then, in a lesser, but still in a considerable degree, the friend who is the first to quote it to us. Whoever adopts and circulates a just thought, participates in the merit that originated it.
Christian Nestell BoveeFinally, one night we were smoking pot [with Michael O'Donoghue] and talking about the people that are invariably in high school, whether you go to prep school or public school or ghetto school or rich suburban school. And actually, it spun off from a Kurt Vonnegut quote.

Patricia BriggsAmerican author Mark Twain, while viewed as liberal and non-judgmental, did at times demonstrate both these characteristics. While his reasons for detesting the Christian faith are unclear, they seem to have been profound and deep-rooted. Having lambasted the founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, in a later quote he referred to the Book of Mormon as "chloroform in print."
