A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one's religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification.
David Herbert Lawrence
But you see, that's the gilded prison of fashion. We're riding in private jets, and meantime I was so incredibly, painfully sad and lonely.
Janice Dickinson
Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Globalisation has made us more vulnerable. It creates a world without borders, and makes us painfully aware of the limitations of our present instruments, and of politics, to meet its challenges.
Anna Lindh
I felt so painfully isolated that I vowed I would get revenge on the world by becoming a famous cartoonist.
Robert Crumb
I know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.
Jim Carrey
I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I'm painfully middle class.
Valerie Harper
If I kind of like a guy, then I'm a fantastic flirt. But with a guy I truly like, I get painfully shy.
Shannen Doherty
If we win, someone else loses. But if someone else loses, we lose. Which is a point we're not getting. The new spirituality will make this just painfully obvious.
Neale Donald Walsch
Liberalism is, I think, resurgent. One reason is that more and more people are so painfully aware of the alternative.
John Kenneth Galbraith
My father suffered much and toiled painfully all his life, for he had no resources other than the proceeds of his trade from which to support himself and his wife and family.
Albrecht Durer
My overall message for labor members is... that we understand that the benefits of trade are clear, but the disruption and the dislocation are painfully concentrated and we can't ignore them.
Alexis Herman
The do-it-yourself version of pensions is a flop, as many Americans have painfully learned.
William Greider
The man for whom time stretches out painfully is one waiting in vain, disappointed at not finding tomorrow already continuing yesterday.
Theodor Adorno
Then about 1951 I began writing again, painfully, a novel I called in the beginning A Life Sentence on Earth, but which developed into The Tree of Man.
