Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor, upon which one walks as a matter of course and prescriptive right

Aldous Huxley

In romantic comedies there's a certain ceiling and a floor that you can't necessarily love as hard, or hate as hard, or have as much pain, because you sink the shop of the romantic comedy. But in a certain drama, like some of the ones I've been doing, the ceiling and the floor was my own. And in many ways, that was a higher ceiling and a lower floor, so that was more of a band-with for those emotions.

Matthew McConaughey

Every gain made by individuals or societies is almost instantly taken for granted. The luminous ceiling toward which we raise our longing eyes becomes, when we have climbed to the next floor, a stretch of disregarded linoleum beneath our feet.

Aldous Huxley

I realized early I can manipulate the ceiling in the middle class. The allure becomes how far I can make the ceiling rise.

Jay Mohr

Aim for the sky and you'll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you'll stay on the floor.

Bill Shankly

A window looks outside, but a painting should do the opposite - it should look inside of us. When I put them in the middle of the room, I attach the paintings at the top to the ceiling and on the bottom to the floor. I prefer this to just hanging them from the ceiling because it creates a place in a space, like a wall.

Pierre Soulages

Obama has been perhaps the most partisan President since Truman. He hasn't learned to be civil - note his insulting speech to Paul Ryan, who did us the courtesy of scoring a budget. The president has to talk to Republicans when it comes to the debt ceiling. He has reached the debt ceiling before anyone expected.

Grover Norquist

Tithing is a bad ceiling but an excellent floor.

John Ortberg

Are you really sure that a floor can't also be a ceiling?

M. C. Escher

My living room has an oak-wood floor, Persian carpets, floor-to-ceiling bookcases, a large ficus and large fern, a fireplace with a group of photographs and drawings over it, a glass-top coffee table with a bowl of dried pomegranates on it, and sofas and chairs covered in off-white linen.

Janet Malcolm

Started underneath the floor, Now my money through the ceiling.

Wiz Khalifa

I can get better. I haven't reached my ceiling yet on how well I can shoot the basketball.

Stephen Curry

Original work has no floor and no ceiling. You can reach essentially zero readers or millions.

Paul S. Kemp

We're going to school for higher education in higher numbers, but the numbers still show we're not breaking though the glass ceiling. For every Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton there are millions of women stuck in cement on the floor that are not getting up.
