It's easier to be cynical and edgy and tough rather than overly emotional.

I describe my projects using colors because it's the best way to describe 'em. I would say that 'Moon Shoes' was way more colorful than a lot of my other music, just because I was pulling from so many different places.

Ravyn Lenae

Amongst my friends, I am known as the most cynical person they know - I'm incredibly cynical. I don't believe in God, I don't believe in the supernatural, I don't believe in anything!

For the monstrous is much easier to paint than describe, and the ridiculous to describe than paint.

Henry Fielding

I think the best way to quickly describe my personality is that I'm a maximizer rather than a satisficer, i.e. I want to squeeze every drop out of an opportunity rather than settle for 'good enough.'

James Holzhauer

The Australian language is easier to learn than boat talk. It has a vocabulary of about six words.

P. J. O'Rourke

It's actually easier to do autobiographical stories. The story is already there. It's a matter of carving away what doesn't fit rather than building up from nothing.

Craig Thompson

Drunkards of summer are quite as frequent as Drunkards of wine.

Emily Dickinson

The vocabulary of my cynical world doesn't allow me to explain the success of 'Lean In.'

Nell Scovell

Describing beauty is almost impossible because we perceive it, rather than describe it. If you look at a Rembrandt painting and start to try and describe what the beauty is you see, your words sound absolutely pathetic.
