Stare Quotations
If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it.
Charles Dickens
Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.
Alexander Graham Bell

Marc Jacobs
As I sit down and start to work, I often panic. I stare at the empty piece of music paper. How can I say that my piece will be ready for performance next January when I do not have a recipe for making it happen?
Lukas Foss
When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows," people just stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, for free."
Linus Torvalds
I don't know why men are so fascinated with television and I think it has something to do with - if I may judge from my own father, who used to sit and stare at the TV while my mother was speaking to him - I think that's a man's way of tuning out.
Garry Shandling
I stare at myself in the mirror and I think, 'Wow, I'm really great-looking.'... I think I'm the greatest, anyway.
Iggy Pop
I want people to laugh and cry, not just sit and stare at the TV.
Michael Landon
Happiness is like a cloud, if you stare at it long enough, it evaporates.
Sarah McLachlan
The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
Vance Havner
I don't stare at a sheet of paper and try to think of a good word to use. I try to see where the story should go.
Brad Paisley
In the studio, I do try to have a thought in my head, so that it's not like a blank stare.
Cindy Crawford
Success? You can't get a big head about it. When people stare at me, they could be whispering to their friend, 'That guy sucks! Have you seen him before? He's horrible.'
David Spade

When you have birds you stare at them a lot and their eyes are recessed on their head. When they look at something they tilt their head in a quizzical expression.
Ted Rall
My brother and I were meditating before we were 6 years old, having to stare at the wall and chant.
Kristin Hersh
I get paranoid about people staring at me. Even now I don't deal with people looking at me. I can't do it sometimes. I can't go out. I don't know how to react when people stare.
Robbie Fowler
A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare.
W. H. Davies
In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day, and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.
Jonathan Larson
Now everybody's got a crazy notion of their own. Some like to mix up with a crowd, some like to be alone. It's no one elses' business as far as I can see, but every time that I go out the people stare at me, with me little ukulele in me hand.
George Formby
I would stare at maps of Delaware for hours.
Ken Jennings
It's the way to educate your eyes. Stare. Pry, listen eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long.
Walker Evans
The best thing to do is stare it in the face and move on. We have to face our fears and plow through. I think taking chances takes a lot more courage than staying stagnant and doing what's safe and comfortable.
Terri Clark
