Joan CusackHuman beings are not comparable. You can't compare us any more than you can compare roses and oranges, or mountains and the sea. You might prefer living by the sea to living in the mountains. You certainly like some people better than you like others.

Twyla TharpI don't understand these people anymore, that travel the commuter-trains to their dormitory towns. These people that call themselves human, but, by a pressure they do not feel, are forced to do their work like ants. With what do they fill their time when they are free of work on their silly little Sundays? I am very fortunate in my profession. I feel like a farmer, with the airstrips as my fields. Those that have once tasted this kind of fare will not forget it ever. Not so, my friends?

Veronica RothAll the utopianism of the early days of the Internet seems to have dissipated. But I don't want us to lose that utopianism altogether, even if it was naรฏve and ill-informed and sometimes silly.

Julia CameronSome stories, sheโd say, the more you tell them, the faster you use them up. Those kind, the drama burns off, and every version, they sound more silly and flat.

Anna QuindlenI think it's silly when people try compartmentalize musical genres. That was always my problem with the chillwave thing - people were trying to make it into some kind of musical movement, when it was not a movement. A couple dudes had a couple songs for a couple months. It's going to be a disparate onslaught of people throwing ideas at the wall.
Memory TapesThe assumption is that people so ignorant and thoughtless and silly and greedy may simply call upon the Army Corps of Engineers in order to receive a clean and abundant supply of water from reservoirs in the mountains.

Wendell BerryWhen we pray, instead of trying to produce love in our souls toward God, we should be basking in God's love for us.

How silly to fuss with artificial tanning salons and lotions and lights when the Son is out!
