A lot of words in English confuse the idea of life and electricity, like the word livewire.
Laurie Anderson
As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.
Gore Vidal
Censors tend to do what only psychotics do: they confuse reality with illusion.
David Cronenberg
Do not confuse beauty with beautiful. Beautiful is a human judgment. Beauty is All. The difference is everything.
Matthew Fox
Don't confuse being stimulating with being blunt.
Barbara Walters
Don't confuse facts with reality.
Robert D. Ballard
Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.
Erma Bombeck
Don't confuse hypothesis and theory. The former is a possible explanation; the latter, the correct one. The establishment of theory is the very purpose of science.
Martin H. Fischer
Forget words like 'hard sell' and 'soft sell.' That will only confuse you. Just be sure your advertising is saying something with substance, something that will inform and serve the consumer, and be sure you're saying it like it's never been said before.
William Bernbach
Frank and explicit - that is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and confuse the minds of others.
Benjamin Disraeli
Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
Michael J. Fox
I do not believe the American people are going to confuse hatred for passion.
Ed Gillespie
I hope that not only my documentaries, but everybody's documentaries, last. It will really confuse historians in the next century, because they'll have, in addition to all the print material, they'll have all these pictures to look at.
Frederick Wiseman
I never want to turn something down because I'm afraid to do it, because of some idea of image or whatever. That was never anything I set out to do. In fact, the opposite, I always want to confuse people in terms of any kind of image and be unpredictable in any kind of movie I make.
Christian Bale
I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.
Brenda Blethyn
I was cut off from the world. There was no one to confuse or torment me, and I was forced to become original.
Joseph Haydn
If you can't convince them, confuse them.
Harry S. Truman
If you see me once, you cannot confuse me with another.
