1
Craig Bruce
It's easy to idealize someone that you don't know.
2
Leo Buscaglia
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
3
Edsger Dijkstra
Many mathematicians derive part of their self-esteem by feeling themselves the proud heirs of a long tradition of rational thinking; I am afraid they idealize their cultural ancestors.
4
Austin Grossman
Nixon is fascinating because he's our most alienated president. Everybody felt that they never knew who he was - that's palpable in the histories. His face is so cartoony that he's become this cartoon figure. I never really related to the romanticization of J.F.K., and I knew too much about Reagan to idealize him. Nixon falls in between.
5
Buddy Hackett
At the Sahara, the seats are banked and most of the audience is looking down at the stage. Everybody in the business knows: Up for singers, down for comics. The people want to idealize a singer. They want to feel superior to a comic. You're trying to make them laugh. They can't laugh at someone they're looking up to.
6
Francis Herbert Hedge
What we need most, is not so much to realize the ideal as to idealize the real.

Benjamin Jowett
Young men make great mistakes in life; for one thing, they idealize love too much.

Charlotte Le Bon
What is protecting me is that it is not a finality being an actress. I really think we tend to idealize this job a lot. When you're an actress and you're really famous, it means people believe you are on top of the world - and I think that's not true.
9
Zosia Mamet
People idealize or reminisce about their 20s, but nobody tells you beforehand that it's hard and unglamorous and often very unpleasant.
10
Patton Oswalt
I fantasize and idealize myself as Bugs Bunny, but I know deep down I'm Daffy Duck.
