10 QUOTES WITH «SHORT-LIVED»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word short-lived.
1
Joseph Addison
Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object.
2
Joseph Barbera
My marriage had been impulsive. That marriage should have been short-lived instead of the 23 years it spanned.
3
Alan Bradley
I always knew that I wanted to work on my own material - something that would be more long-lasting than short-lived electronic transmissions.
4
Eric Dane
Going to the gym and looking for a specific result is a short-lived existence, as opposed to going to the gym and adopting it as a lifestyle. Develop a routine, because it's much harder to break it if you have one. If you have no routine, you have nothing to break, so discipline goes out the window.
5
Joyce DiDonato
I want people to know me for my singing. I've never been searching for a label of being a fashion plate or a top model. That's a thing that's very short-lived, and it's dealing with a superficial level of this which doesn't really appeal to me.
6
Sanjay Dutt
I think the best thing about my short-lived political career was that I saw the interiors of Bihar and UP. That is the real India, and, being an Indian, it was really sad to see our own people living in such dismal conditions. It was a real eye-opener.
7
Cassidy Freeman
If people recognize me from 'The Vampire Diaries,' they just give me that look that's like, 'I think I know you. I think I saw you boxing in 1912, but I'm not sure,' because it was such a short-lived run.
8
Big Bank Hank
Fame can take a toll on your personal life. Half of us were in short-lived marriages or not married at all. When you are doing something you love so much that you once did for free, and then someone pays you to do it, it's like a blessing. But you have to be prepared for it.
9
George Lazenby
Fame is short-lived, and you're the last to know when you are no longer hot.
10
Jefferson Mays
I try to inhabit each of the characters as fully as I can, however short-lived they are. But most of my show happens offstage.
