A Quote by Werner Herzog

I'm simply not afraid. It's not in my dictionary of behaviour. — © Werner Herzog
I'm simply not afraid. It's not in my dictionary of behaviour.
We're just afraid, period. Our fear is free-floating. We're afraid this isn't the right relationship or we're afraid it is. We're afraid they won't like us or we're afraid they will. We're afraid of failure or we're afraid of success. We're afraid of dying young or we're afraid of growing old. We're more afraid of life than we are of death.
My favorite books are a constantly changing list, but one favorite has remained constant: the dictionary. Is the word I want to use spelled practice or practise? The dictionary knows. The dictionary also slows down my writing because it is such interesting reading that I am distracted.
I wonder what the difference between love and control is, but I'm afraid to look those words up in a dictionary.
Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. He should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. There are only certain words which are valid and similes (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing I can think of at this time).
I'm simply trying to tell the truth about human behaviour as I see it.
We must do everything in our power to cease the behaviour that makes children everywhere feel afraid.
In my dictionary, and everyone's dictionary in the 1970s, the word 'queer' did mean strange and unusual. There was no slur to it.
I bought a dictionary. First thing I did was, I looked up the word "dictionary", and it said "you're an asshole".
I used to keep a dictionary and work with it and then I realized there are more words that exist in the English language than there are in this dictionary.
In all my years in 'Countdown's' Dictionary Corner, the subject most guaranteed to rankle with our viewers is the presence of Americanisms in the dictionary.
I'm not afraid to live. I'm not afraid to fail. I'm not afraid to succeed. I'm not afraid to fall in love. I'm not afraid to be alone. I'm just afraid I might have to stop talking about myself for five minutes.
The dialectical critique of positivist habits of mind ... is interested only in behaviour which is 'important' to the actor; that is, behaviour which is emotionally charged to the degree that it is either frequently recalled, reflected upon, or day-dreamed about. ... That science which is less discriminating in the behaviour it chooses to investigate gains clarity and distinctiveness at the cost of confining itself to the trivial.
Sporting behaviour means fair behaviour. This is the player's task, not the referee's.
Finding the meaning of life is easy. Simply get a dictionary, go to the 'L' section, and find the word 'life.'
I'd always felt the Australian cricketers' behaviour had been appalling. Tampering the ball too constitutes poor behaviour.
If you look in the dictionary under 'perfectionist,' you see Henry Selick correcting the definition of perfectionist in the dictionary. I mean, he is so meticulous.
