Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of.
Jonathan Swift
But once you have some success in one style, the business wants to lock you in that vein forever.
Richard Marx
Clap an extinguisher upon your irony if you are unhappily blessed with a vein of it.
Charles Lamb
Even this vein of writing is so foreign to me that I am amazed.
David O. Selznick
For some reason, I seem to be bothered whenever I see acts of injustice and assaults on people's civil liberties. I imagine what I write in the future will follow in that vein. Whether it's fiction or non-fiction.
Iris Chang
He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death.
Thomas Paine
I have worked with this red all over the world - in Japan, California, France, Britain, Australia - a vein running round the earth. It has taught me about the flow, energy and life that connects one place with another.
Andy Goldsworthy
In the same vein as these events, National Minority Health Month also serves as a reminder of how much work needs to be done to eliminate health and healthcare inequities.
Elijah Cummings
It is in men as in soils where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not.
Jonathan Swift
It's in the vein, somewhere in a cross between The Beatles, Cheap Trick, The Stones, Badfinger, you know, but it's not retro at all. But it is very pop.
Steve Brown
It's time to start really writing some stuff, and I really wanted to write some stuff in the vein of the original Misfits, and this was really the first step in that direction.
Jerry Only
Memory is funny. Once you hit a vein the problem is not how to remember but how to control the flow.
Tobias Wolff
The doctor punched my vein, the captain called me Cain, upon my belly sat the sow of fear.
Karl Shapiro
The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green.
Thomas Carlyle
We have an electronic vein we have tapped and applied it to a rock setting like tons of bands out there.
Mike Lowry
We may play in a contemporary rock vein, use standard bebop themes, and many other things besides.
Chuck Mangione
Writing is really very easy. Tap a vein and bleed onto the page. Everything else is just technical.
Derrick Jensen
You get used to working with one choreographer. You kind of get stuck in that vein and you work your way out of it, picking up someone else's style, their flavor. It takes a bit of time.
Janet Jackson
