Americans have an abiding belief in their ability to control reality by purely material means... airline insurance replaces the fear of death with the comforting prospect of cash.
Cecil Beaton
And I really do believe that the most important thing is the way you live your life on earth. But I think it's enormously comforting to believe that you're going to see your loved ones.
Barbara Walters
Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and repeat to yourself, the most comforting words of all; this, too, shall pass.

Amy Grant
I find it almost comforting to count calories, because it makes me conscious of what I'm eating. But on Super Bowl Sunday, I thought, 'Surrender to it. It's nacho time.' Then I ate nothing but Doritos all day.
Kristen Bell
I have an enormous fondness for delicious food. It's very comforting.
Teri Garr
I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.
Marc Jacobs

Juliana Hatfield
It's really comforting for me and Jeff, at least, that after 12 years we finally feel we've reached a place where we can be more honest, real and loving with each other. And we're finally in a band that we know is good, and deserves the credit it's getting.
Stone Gossard
That time is important. It gives a comforting illusion of permanence not found in running by the mile.
Joe Henderson
The past speaks to us in a thousand voices, warning and comforting, animating and stirring to action.
Felix Adler
The purpose of satire has been rightly stated as to strip off the veneer of comforting illusion and cosy half truth, and our job, as I see it, is to put it back again!
Michael Flanders
There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now.
Angelina Jolie
