10 QUOTES WITH «INSTINCTUAL»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word instinctual.
1
John Banville
When I started writing, I was a great rationalist and believed I was absolutely in control. But the older one gets, the more confused, and for an artist I think that is quite a good thing: you allow in more of your instinctual self; your dreams, fantasies and memories. It's richer, in a way.
2
Sylvia Browne
Steve Jobs was Galileo in a past life. Discovery was instinctual for him.
3
Dominic Chianese
The radio was my big influence. Comedy came from the instinctual feel I had for language.
4
Natalie Dormer

5
Chiwetel Ejiofor

6
Andy Garcia
Everything I do in my life is very instinctual and in the moment. If I'm attracted to something, that's it. If I have reservations, those don't change till they're resolved. My first impression is how I go.
7
A. Bartlett Giamatti
Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process.
8

Lent is a time to renew wherever we are in that process that I call the divine therapy. It's a time to look what our instinctual needs are, look at what the dynamics of our unconscious are.
9
George R. R. Martin
I have an instinctual distrust of conventional happy endings.
10
