I have trouble actually describing myself because I'm always suspicious of people who start describing themselves. I'm like, "OK, why are you trying to tell me what you are?"

Zooey Deschanel

A way of describing performances that I admire is that there is an absence of careerism. It's a clumsy way of describing it but it sort of does it for me.

Bill Nighy

Yeah, in my scripts, I don't tend to describe landscape too clearly because I like to keep it really basic and sort of let people paint their own picture. I don't find it helpful to spend a page describing a setting, except for maybe a few key things.

Sean Durkin

Whether we are describing a king, an assassin, a thief, an honest man, a prostitute, a nun, a young girl, or a stallholder in a market, it is always ourselves that we are describing.

Guy de Maupassant

Our ordinary language has no means for describing a particular shade of color. Thus it is incapable of producing a picture of this color.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

In describing someone's character, I reveal my own.

Mason Cooley

I'm really bad at describing my own life.

Helmut Lang

I honestly don’t know whether I am describing something essential about the way we know God or merely my own weakness of mind.

Christian Wiman

Trying to explain or define grace is like catching the wind in a cardboard box or describing the color green.

Cathleen Falsani

I'll continue on the path I've been taking, feet on the ground, describing people's lives, describing people's emotions, writing from the standpoint of the ordinary people.

Mo Yan

As I've said repeatedly, Republicans are very good at describing things in black and white; Democrats are very good at describing the 11 shades of gray.

Joseph C. Wilson

Gentleness is an active trait, describing the manner in which we should treat others. Meekness is a passive trait, describing the proper Christian response when others mistreat us.

Jerry Bridges

The Moon is a white strange world, great, white, soft-seeming globe in the night sky, and what she actually communicates to me across space I shall never fully know. But the Moon that pulls the tides, and the Moon that controls the menstrual periods of women, and the Moon that touches the lunatics, she is not the mere dead lump of the astronomist. . . . When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness.

D. H. Lawrence

With color, for the price of a pot of paint, people can express their own style and individuality. But, as with style, a gift for color has to be developed by experiment. If you don't dare, you are doomed to dullness.

Shirley Conran

If you're a white candidate, it is twice as important for you to be talking about racial inequity and not just describing the problem - which is fashionable in politics - but actually talking about what we're going to do about it and describing the outcomes we're trying to solve for.

Pete Buttigieg

There was a special challenge in describing the awful childhood of a person who happens to be my own husband. It was very painful at times, for both of us.

Pamela Stephenson
