That's the shock: All cliches are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God - so do I buy that one? If all the other cliches are true... Hell, don't pose me that one.

David Bowie

Beware of clichés. Not just the clichés that Martin Amis is at war with. There are clichés of response as well as expression. There are clichés of observation and of thought - even of conception. Many novels, even quite a few adequately written ones, are clichés of form which conform to clichés of expectation.

Geoff Dyer

In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.

Newt Gingrich

All the cliches are true about parenting. All I've ever wanted to do is be a father, but there's this existential mirror that's held up when you have a kid.

John Krasinski

My son is two weeks old today. The minute he came in my arms and looked at me it changed my life. Literally changed my life. When I say changed my life, I mean he showed me love I thought... I know... the word love, there is no way to describe this love. It's so powerful.

DJ Khaled

I love it. I hate that word (fatherhood), but I love being a father; it's changed everything in so many ways.

Orlando Bloom

I grew up without a father, who was kept a mystery to me. There was a sense of uprootedness, things being one day here and the next day not; a sense anything could happen. Then, all of a sudden, my mother met my stepfather, and her life became happier, and my life changed, my name changed.

John Irving

Is making a movie true love if you're a creative person? It could be. But in my world, the importance of being a father and having kids and knowing that connection is true love. Making a movie is love.

Robert Stromberg

As you get older, the cliches of life ring true. It's the simple things that matter most: your family, the people you love, your health and sanity.

Ronan Keating

Cliches are cliches because they are true.

Harsha Bhogle

To idealize: all writing is a campaign against cliché. Not just clichés of the pen but clichés of the mind and clichés of the heart.

Martin Amis

Being a dad you realise that it's not about you any more. All the cliches are true I think.

Tom Fletcher

Life is not bad, and it doesn't look more real if it's ugly or it's gritty. Think of your own life. Most of what's in your own life, hopefully, is exactly that. Friendship and love and passion for movies and cartoons and comic books, whatever it is that you love. Most of the way we live our lives involves looking for pleasure and beauty and happiness and affection. Real artists don't use reflexive clichés about things. It's about honoring the reality of people's lives, which defies conventions and clichés and expectations. People are interesting, period.

Daniel Mendelsohn

I know, being a father myself, what my interpretation of true love is, or the essence of love, and you can apply it to other things besides human beings.

Robert Stromberg

The most wonderful thing in life is to be delirious and the most wonderful kind of delirium is being in love.
