Famous quotes and sentences with the word coolly.
1
Greg MacGillivray
Grain isn't structured like a screen door that you're looking through, but pixels are. Film-based grain is just all over the place, one frame totally different from the next. So your edges are coolly sharp and have a different feeling, an organic feeling rather than this mechanic feeling you get with digital.

Adlai E. Stevenson
To act coolly, intelligently and prudently in perilous circumstances is the test of a man - and also a nation.
3
John Updike
Truth should not be forced; it should simply manifest itself, like a woman who has in her privacy reflected and coolly decided to bestow herself upon a certain man.
