A Quote by Kate Morton

I sound contemptuous, but I am not. I am interested--intrigued even--by the way time erases real lives, leaving only vague imprints. Blood and spirit fade away so that only names and dates remain.

'Who am I?' The answer is 'I am God'. The body comes and goes, but the Atma is permanent. The body has birth and death, but the spirit does not have any of these. You reach the stage where you say, 'I am God', but even there, there is duality, 'God and I'. That is not the full Truth. When we breathe, the breath makes the sound of 'So-Hum', 'He am I'. There is still the body consciousness, the 'I'. But in deep sleep, the declaration of 'He' and 'I' falls away and only '0' and 'M' remain, 'Om'; there is only the One.

Sathya Sai Baba

I am not at all interested in theories about cinema. I am only interested in images and people and sound. I am really a very simple person.

Claire Denis

I am interested only in "nonsense"; only in that which makes no practical sense. I am interested in life only in its absurd manifestations.

Daniil Kharms

I believe I am world class and it is only a matter of time before I am up there with the big names. I am a man on a mission and not going to be stopped.

Daniel Dubois

Ludwig Wittgenstein once said that names are the only things that exist in the world. Maybe that's true, but the problem is that as time passes by, names do not remain the same - even if they don't change.

Victor Pelevin

There were many words that you could not stand to hear and finally only the names of places had dignity. Certain numbers were the same way and certain dates and these with the names of the places were all you could say and have them mean anything. Abstract words such as glory, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene beside the concrete names of villages, the numbers of roads, the names of rivers, the numbers of regiments and the dates.

Ernest Hemingway

I was raised a Catholic. But I am not religious. In my work, I am interested in real flesh and blood.

Louise Bourgeois

From here on out, I am only interested in what is real. Real people, real feelings, that's it. That's all I'm interested in.

Billy Crudup

It was not a sacrifice leaving the house when I was young and travelling around Europe to find a club. It was the only way to get to where I am today, and I am proud of that.

Demba Ba

I am a member of a fragile species, still new to the earth, the youngest creatures of any scale, here only a few moments as evolutionary time is measured, a juvenile species, a child of a species. We are only tentatively set in place, error prone, at risk of fumbling, in real danger at the moment of leaving behind only a thin layer of of our fossils, radioactive at that.

Lewis Thomas

I'm uninterested in superheroes. I am only interested in real stories, real people, real connection.

Jamie Lee Curtis

I am definitely interested in doing films in Bollywood. And not only in Hindi - I am open to working anywhere in the country, even if it is Punjabi.

Prabhas

The young person isn't certain that love can be real; the middle-aged man is only discovering that it is; and the older person seems so sure of it. I was interested in the way that many of us go through the whole of our lives staying with someone just out of complacency, because leaving isn't easy.

Conor McPherson

I write from my knowledge not my lack, from my strength not my weakness. I am not interested if anyone knows whether or not I am familiar with big words, I am interested in trying to render big ideas in a simple way. I am interested in being understood not admired.

Lucille Clifton

I am aware that I am very old now; but I am also aware that I have never been so young as I am now, in spirit, since I was fourteen and entertained Jim Wolf with the wasps. I am only able to perceive that I am old by a mental process; I am altogether unable to feel old in spirit. It is a pity, too, for my lapses from gravity must surely often be a reproach to me. When I am in the company of very young people I always feel that I am one of them, and they probably privately resent it.
