When you put yourself on the line in a race and expose yourself to the unknown, you learn things about yourself that are very exciting.

Doris Brown Heritage

I'm abrasive. I am so sure that I'm right about virtually everything. I can sing you an aria of reasons to not like me.

Christopher Priest

I don't take off my nail polish when I go home because I'm too lazy, and they're fine with it. Maybe the checkout at the grocery store's not so great with it, but they're fine with it. The distrust, the phobias, those are learned, those are taught. But the natural grace is to understand and to love.

Jeffrey Tambor

This homage has been rendered not to me - for the Polish soil is fertile and does not lack better writers than me - but to the Polish achievement, the Polish genius.

Henryk Sienkiewicz

The whole point of free expression is not to make ideas exempt from criticism but to expose them to it.

Garry Wills

You need to shelter yourself from the abrasive forces of life that drain you and keep you in a lower state of mind.

Frederick Lenz

Criticism is fine and conversation is fine, but the person who's criticizing should know what they're saying and whom they're criticizing.

Jennifer Egan

As Polish society we cannot live with the term 'Polish death camps' or 'Polish concentration camps.'

Andrzej Duda

It's good to overexpose yourself with work. But don't expose yourself too much with the press.

Liev Schreiber

I've learned that to expose yourself, to reveal yourself is a test of your humanness.

Isabelle Adjani

I believe in clear-cut positions. I think that the most arrogant position is this apparent, multidisciplinary modesty of "what I am saying now is not unconditional, it is just a hypothesis," and so on. It really is a most arrogant position. I think that the only way to be honest and expose yourself to criticism is to state clearly and dogmatically where you are. You must take the risk and have a position.

Slavoj Žižek

You have to be willing to expose yourself, at least to yourself, to get to some kind of truth about a character.

Ed Harris

If you are going to splurge out and have a month of bad eating and drinking, that's absolutely fine as far as I'm concerned but what you need to do is get some balance to make sure that you are looking after yourself and you are getting your five-a-day, making sure you're getting your minerals, protein.

Gok Wan

It is important to know that criticism is a natural part of life and speaking out, and to know that a certain amount of the criticism you receive may have nothing to do with you, your argument, or the way you are articulating yourself. Some criticism online and in the physical world is neither constructive, nor balanced or intelligent. Some of it is abuse.

Tara Moss

When you conceal inner reality, this pressure builds. You often don't expose yourself until it reaches extremity, a breaking point, and what emerges is a dramatic shift - at least in the eyes of others, from whom you've hidden the truth. So, dropping out of high school was like that for me. I was fine, I got straight As, I had friends, and then boom, I was like, I'm done.

Melissa Febos

In the event of any action which clearly threatened Polish independence and which the Polish Government accordingly considered it vital to resist with their national forces, His Majesty's Government would feel themselves bound at once to lend the Polish Government all support in their power. They have given the Polish Government an assurance to this effect. I may add that the French Government have authorized me to make it plain that they stand in the same position in this matter.

Neville Chamberlain
