Greek - Philosopher
46 - 120

If truth is like the terrain, are we the generation who sees it as one who has worn shoes all his life or one who has never worn shoes? Yet still, even if the walk starts out as painful, the experience may be well worth it.

Criss Jami

... wore sorrow and anger like a worn-out coat and would not throw it away.

Belva Plain

I'd like to be rich enough so I could throw soap away after the letters are worn off

Andy Rooney

It's tough for me to get rid of clothes. I grew up in a household with a limited budget and we really had to make our nice clothes last, and so now I'll get free pairs of shoes and this, that and the other and I'll be like, 'Oh great!'; even though it stresses me out that I don't have enough room to put them, I can't throw them away.

Will Ferrell

Throw false spirituality away like a pair of old shoes.

Kyongho

My love is something valuable to me which I ought not to throw away without reflection.

Sigmund Freud

I'm literally nowhere yet... When things started going well, this French designer called Ami gave me some shoes and clothes to wear. But when I sat down to play the piano, the very new shoes kept slipping off the pedal. So I took them off, threw them away, and have never worn shoes while playing the piano from then on.

Benjamin Clementine

Like living creatures, automobiles expired when their environment became saturated with their own excreta. We ourselves are living creatures. We don't want the same to happen to us.

John Brunner

Some people - which I don't understand - kind of get mad like I'm disrespecting shoes. I'm like, 'They are sneakers, they are meant to be worn, meant to be played in.' And I hate when people use them as trophies. They are sneakers. It's one of my pet peeves. I got pairs if I don't want to wear, I will get a couple pairs of them.

P. J. Tucker

Christian Louboutin - his shoes are classic and can be worn for any occasion. I love the feel of Prada shoes and the comfort of Fendi. I like Miu Miu and Nicholas Kirkwood. A shoe can decide how stylish you are.

Shilpa Shetty

For my part, I wish all guns with their belongings and everything could be sent to hell, which is the proper place for their exhibition and use.

Alfred Nobel

I like to use my own language. Political movements are like living creatures - they develop. Each document expresses the times, the different stages and is part of the natural development.

Khaled Mashal

My life is like my shoes, worn out by service.

Spencer W. Kimball

I couldn't give away my husband's shoes. I could give away other things, but the shoes - I don't know what it was about the shoes, but a lot of people have mentioned to me that shoes took on more meaning than we generally think they do... their attachment to the ground, I don't know - but that did have a real resonance for me.

Joan Didion

You can't throw your ego away, but you can use its innate desire to experience that which is beyond itself to give you the impetus to meditate.

Frederick Lenz

We ought to observe that practice which is the hardest of all - especially for young physicians - we ought to throw in no medicine at all - to abstain - to observe a wise and masterly inactivity.

John Randolph of Roanoke
