John Clare
I had a variety of minds about me and all of them unsettled.
2
William S. Cohen
For while the threat of nuclear holocaust has been significantly reduced, the world remains a very unsettled and dangerous place.
3
Daniel Day-Lewis
If you remain unsettled by a piece of writing, it means you are not watching the story from the outside; you've already taken a step towards it.
4
Ray LaMontagne
I probably wouldn't be a songwriter if I didn't grow up the way I did. It was difficult and it was at times very scary to grow up in a household so unsettled and at times very violent. But, it also, I guess it earned me a sort of wisdom at a young age that's served me well.
5
Walter Lippmann
Ages when custom is unsettled are necessarily ages of prophecy. The moralist cannot teach what is revealed; he must reveal what can be taught. He has to seek insight rather than to preach.
6
Michael Palin
Something about John Cleese was always very unsettled, I felt. There was always something else he wanted to do. He seemed constantly driven by this sense that there was a nirvana somewhere; some unique place where mind, body and soul would be utterly satisfied.
7
Joely Richardson
I live quite an unsettled life.
8
Melissa Rosenberg
When I'm stuck in my writing, the world is amiss. If I'm eating a sandwich, it's an unsettled sandwich. If I'm in the shower, it's an incorrect shower. It's profoundly uncomfortable. But it's what keeps me pushing.
9
Todd Rundgren
You do have a modicum of peace of mind here, but it's as unsettled as any other place.
10
Shari Sebbens
I'm a believer, but an unsettled one. I think it has something to do with the fact that my grandmother always told me she would come back and tickle my feet at night time when she passed away. She hasn't gotten me yet. But I keep the blanket over my feet at night, no matter how hot it is.
