It took me too long to realise that if you go to a marriage counsellor to resolve problems, it's in his interest to keep the marriage going.
~ Michael Douglas
The culmination of a long struggle was 2013, which could clearly be labeled the Year of the Gay. State after state had legalized gay marriage, despite intense opposition from the religious right.
~ Edmund White
I tend not to trust people who live in very tidy houses. I know that on the surface there is nothing wrong with a person being well-ordered and disciplined. Nothing, except that it leaves the impression of that person having lived in the confines of a stark institution which, although he or she has long since left, remains within.
~ Jack Dee
The secret of a long life is to never trust a doctor.
~ Luise Rainer
Treachery has existed as long as there's been warfare, and there's always been a few people that you couldn't trust.
~ James Mattis
I know it sounds new age-y, but what I've truly come up with is that you really need to trust that you're on your own path, as long as you stay true to it and you show up, which is 99% of it.
~ Jane Lynch
One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything everynight before you go to bed.

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
~ Khalil Gibran
My neighbour asked if he could use my lawnmower and I told him of course he could, so long as he didn't take it out of my garden.
~ Eric Morecambe
A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor.
~ Xenophon
For me, beauty is more about prevention than anything. Especially now that I've hit 30, it's more about being careful and maintaining my skin. I want to keep my youth and freshness and be wrinkle-free as long as possible because I don't want to have to cheat - that's what I call any cosmetic surgeries: cheating.
~ Julia Restoin Roitfeld
Life is one long decay, no? There's a lot of beauty in it. Like the patina in an old city.
~ Urs Fischer
Instant gratification takes too long.
~ Carrie Fisher
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
~ Fred Allen
How long was I in the army? Five foot eleven.
~ Spike Milligan
Being funny, it turns out, is like being a bank. It's a confidence trick. As long as everyone believes in you, you are fine.
~ Evan Davis
When you're out of sight for as long as I was, there's a funny feeling of betrayal that comes over people when they see you again.
~ Esther Williams
Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long.
~ Ogden Nash
With my boyfriend, we can make sexist jokes to each other because we know it's absolutely not true. If I get home from a long day and he says: 'Go on, get in the kitchen,' it's funny because we know it's not our lives.
~ Emily Browning
I'd never been in play long enough for the flowers to die in the dressing room.
~ Mercedes Mccambridge
Lot of ugly funny dudes end up with some pretty gorgeous women. Women are much deeper than us in choosing a mate - they see in the long term.
~ Patton Oswalt
Progress was all right. Only it went on too long.
~ James Thurber
But I think you can make fun of anything as long as it's funny enough.
~ Sarah Silverman
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.
~ Elayne Boosler
An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I've left the opera house.
~ Maria Callas
There's this long history of colonialism and the colonial gaze when applied to matters related to China. So a lot of conceptions about China in literary representations in the West are things you can't even fight against because they've been there so long that they've become part of the Western imagination of China.
~ Ken Liu
As long as I was well fed, I was a very, very nice child. I just used my imagination and played with Barbies. I was pretty easy.
~ Sabrina Carpenter
America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
I started track and field when I was 12 and didn't get to an Olympic Games until I was nearly 23. By any stretch of the imagination that's a very long apprenticeship.
~ Sebastian Coe
The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.
~ Tom Wolfe
I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
~ Andy Warhol
As long as you're true to you, you believe it and you make others believe it, then what you're doing is just art. If you give everybody a blank canvas and some paint, not everybody's picture is going to be exactly the same, but it's still art. I just do what I do.
~ Jake Owen
So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.
~ William Morris
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
I think of my peace paintings as one long poem, with each painting being a single stanza.
~ Robert Indiana
Objective journalism is one of the main reasons that American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long.
~ Hunter S. Thompson
A week is a long time in politics.
~ Harold Wilson
I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas.
~ Eliot Spitzer
One of the reasons MSNBC is plummeting is that I, not long ago, refused to play any content from them. I figured, why? I mean, it's genuine depraved partisan politics insanity, genuine extremist radical ignoramuses on that network.
~ Rush Limbaugh
The anchors of the Arab consensus have long been Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and both are now weakened forces in Arab politics and diplomacy.
~ Elliott Abrams
