The skyscraper establishes the block, the block creates the street, the street offers itself to man.
Roland Barthes
The true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs.
Arthur E. Waite
The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.
Freda Adler
There will be no misgiving, no shrinking back, no calculation of overpowering odds, no terror of possible consequences, if you frankly accept the gift which God offers you tomorrow.
Joseph Barber Lightfoot
They look at what's more important, like subjects to help with the SAT's, etc. They miss that music is vital. It offers a break from a stressful day of science and math and it's different.
Justin Guarini
They're not bombarding me with offers, although the ones that have come along have been too preposterous to contemplate, so it's not as if I spend every day resisting $20 million pay cheques.
Colin Firth
Those offers come in now and again. They're not knocking down my door. I'm only an old character actor, and I'm not needed.
Carroll O'Connor
Through the years of experience I have found that air offers less resistance than dirt.
Jack Nicklaus
To portray a maniac offers a compelling challenge.
Bela Lugosi
To sin offers repentance and forgiveness; not to sin offers only punishment.
Jose Bergamin
To this day, I get rewrite offers where they say: 'We feel this script needs work with character, dialogue, plot and tone,' and when you ask what's left, they say: 'Well, the typing is very good.'
John Sayles
We decided to play the NEC because we were asked to, and because we actually rather like the place: we've always enjoyed doing it before. We don't often get sensible offers to play in the UK, so most years we just play on the mainland, with the occasional exotic detour.
Andrew Eldritch
We had offers to go everywhere and we could have done them. But what would have been the point? We were tired. We had worked hard and needed a break before we got stale. We spent six months at home and writing songs.
John Bonham
We must ensure our system of higher education offers world-class quality for a world-class economy.
Bob Taft
We need to have a pro-growth policy put in place that offers people hope and offers the opportunity for businesses to expand and for them to have confidence in what the world is going to look like for the next two or three or four years with respect to economic policy.
Dick Cheney
What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit.
John Updike
What the mass media offers is not popular art, but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food, forgotten, and replaced by a new dish.
W. H. Auden
When you actually meet the devil and he offers you a deal most artists eventually negotiate.
Marc Maron
When you've been on a programme called 'An Idiot Abroad' job offers aren't exactly flying in.
Karl Pilkington
Who says Australia offers not a home for every poor Englishman, or any other countryman that finds his way to our shores? And what sort of thanks do we get for it?
