10 QUOTES WITH «NEATLY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word neatly.
1
A. S. Byatt
Why do we take pleasure in gruesome death, neatly packaged as a puzzle to which we may find a satisfactory solution through clues - or if we are not clever enough, have it revealed by the all-powerful tale-teller at the end of the book? It is something to do with being reduced to, and comforted by, playing by the rules.
2
Bertie Carvel
It's what all actors try to do, really, to just preserve the child inside them because their imagination is quite available. I think partly it's because they're still making sense of the world. They haven't boxed everything up so neatly as most adults have. And the thing is adults haven't solved the world - they've just found a coping mechanism.
3
Marlene Dietrich
A man would prefer to come home to an unmade bed and a happy woman than to a neatly made bed and an angry woman.
4
John Kenneth Galbraith
Total physical and mental inertia are highly agreeable, much more so than we allow ourselves to imagine. A beach not only permits such inertia but enforces it, thus neatly eliminating all problems of guilt. It is now the only place in our overly active world that does.
5
Seth Grahame-Smith
Sometimes we see the Civil War in movies and imagine these neatly aligned rows of men with muskets, walking in line to shoot each other. In reality the things that fascinated me were how absolutely ruthless and violent so many engagements were, how much suffering and how men were not prepared.
6
Joshua Jackson
I'm of the opinion that life doesn't always tie up neatly at the end of the episode.
7
Walter Kaufmann
It does not follow that the meaning must be given from above; that life and suffering must come neatly labeled; that nothing is worth while if the world is not governed by a purpose.
8
Zoe Lister-Jones
Nobody's life is wrapped up neatly in a bow.
9
Leslie Mann
I'm not really interested in doing a traditional romantic comedy where everything ties up neatly.
10
Lurlene McDaniel
On TV, stories and events are finalized in 30 or 60 minutes, or neatly tied up after a season or two. The best stories are the ones that force us to come to our own conclusions and to explain why we believe in our conclusions.
