“One way to compensate for a tiny brain is to pretend to be dead”
Scott Adams
“Pain is such an uncomfortable feeling that even a tiny amount of it is enough to ruin every enjoyment.”
Will Rogers
“Not huffy or stuffy, nor tiny or tall, / But fluffy, just fluffy, with no brains at all.”
A. P. Herbert
“The tiny madman in his padded cell.”
Vladimir Nabokov
“A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark”
Dante Alighieri
“If a woman hasn't got a tiny streak of harlot in her, she's a dry stick as a rule”
D.H. Lawrence
“Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world. Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh, and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms. His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.”
Charles Dickens
“Since music is a language with some meaning at least for the immense majority of mankind, although only a tiny minority of people are capable of formulating a meaning in it, and since it is the only language with the contradictory attributes of being at once intelligible and untranslatable, the musical creator is a being comparable to the gods, and music itself the supreme mystery of the science of man, a mystery that all the various disciplines come up against and which holds the key to their progress.”
Claude Levi-Strauss
“I feel Polish. More specifically, I feel like I'm from the tiny village in the Northeast of Poland where I have a house and where I love to spend time. But I don't work there. I cut wood.”
Krzysztof Kieslowski
“I have a little bit of a belly, a tiny bit of pooch. It's the one thing I don't want to lose. I just like having some softness. If I lose that, then Tom might leave me.”
Nicole Kidman
