1
Krista Allen
I don't ever really notice when guys are hitting on me. I'm oblivious.
2
Louis Aragon
Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd, but in an oblivious crowd.
3
Ty Burrell
I'm not saying this just to be self-deprecating, but I have always taken delight in playing people who are oblivious, because I do think I have giant, giant blind spots. It's a very comfortable place to be.
4
Hilarie Burton
I don't engage in social media, which has its good and bad sides, I guess - but the good side is when people hate my guts, I'm kind of oblivious to it.
5
George Clooney
It's not that I lead this oblivious life where I think I've got such a great personality that people want to spend time with me. If someone has a poster of you or asks for your autograph, clearly you can't take them out on a date. It's not that interesting if someone is just interested in you.
6
Mariella Frostrup
While we women dilly-dally, making decisions, leaving jobs half done, forgetting where we've put the house keys while we water the Hoover and leave the laundry in the dishwasher, men, like blinkered horses, look straight ahead, oblivious to peripheral vision, where a discarded pile of wet towels might have caught their eye.
7
Joe Greene
I don't think about becoming a head coach. I really don't. I'm not oblivious of people who mention it. When you are in any business, people expect to aspire to the top. I guess everyone is supposed to aspire to being the man at the top of the heap. But I never have.
8
Margaret Heffernan
I hate people walking down the street listening to the soundtrack of their lives which responds to them but not their setting. I hate the overspill of sound which metro and subway riders are oblivious to because they notice no one and nothing around them.
9
Ben Katchor
I always lived in old buildings, and I thought about who lived here before. You'd have to be oblivious not to.
10
Carole King
In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious.
