Aspiring Quotes
Guidance for anyone still chasing the dream.
These lines speak directly to beginners: where to go, who to watch out for, and how to keep showing up after rejection. It's practical encouragement dressed up as quotation.

- Death
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When one is young, aspiring to play for the country, doing well, any hindrance, like injury or being out of form, can be frustrating and a cause of annoyance or even anger. But once you have a close encounter with death, you realise the real value of life.
- New

- Nov 07, 2020
I have very specific advice for aspiring writers: go to New York. And if you can't go to New York, go to the place that represents New York to you, where the standards for writing are high, there are other people who share your dreams, and where you can talk, talk, talk about your interests.
- Brave

- Nov 07, 2020
As for advice for aspiring authors, the best I can give is to be brave. It sounds like a simple enough thing, but it's not. Rejection is such an integral part of this journey, and it never goes away.
- Democracy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The aspiring tyrants of today have not forgotten the lesson of 1933: that acts of terror - real or fake, provoked or accidental - can provide the occasion to deal a death blow to democracy.
- End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is aspiring tyrants who say that 'civil liberties end when an attack on our safety begins.' Conversely, leaders who wish to preserve the rule of law find other ways to speak about real terrorist threats, and certainly do not invent them or deliberately make them worse.
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Ironically, if only because over the years I've known so many - from college deans to studio executives to European expats - who come to Los Angeles aspiring to nothing other than living in Topanga, I wound up there by accident.
- Game
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Taking place in some Nordic-looking hinterland where all the seasons are out of whack, 'Game of Thrones' is the most aggressive example since 'Battlestar Galactica' of a genre that's perceived as adolescent aspiring to be fully adult.
- Hair
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My teeth are all right, but they are not American teeth, and my hair is not thick and luscious. Los Angeles is dense with beautiful people, and most of the men who are aspiring actors are 5ft 5in, so I tower above them.
- Focus
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wanted to be Brooke Shields, and my mother was an aspiring photographer, so I was, of course, the only one who would sit still long enough for her to get things in focus, and I loved doing that.
- Heaven
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Heaven and God are not high above us, far away; they are deep within us. Heaven is not a distant country where there are trees and houses and other objects; it is a plane of consciousness within us. Seekers of the eternal Truth will realise their eternal Heaven within their aspiring hearts.
- Never Give Up
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As aspiring athletes, you should never give up on your dreams. Just believe in yourself, and everything will be possible.
- End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Kosovars were granted autonomy at the end of World War II, but then aspiring president Milosevic had the autonomy revoked in 1989, and the Dayton Accords of 1995, which ended the recent war in Bosnia and Croatia, failed to address the issue of Kosovo's status.
- Goals
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For aspiring actors out there, I would say stay focused and don't let anyone pull you away from your goals. Shoot for the stars so that if you ever fall short you can land on the clouds.
- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The only advice I can give to aspiring writers is to write the book that you would want to read, and hope other people agree.
