The apex of my civic pride and personal contentment was reached on the bright September morning when I entered the public school.
You know I looked at my face in the mirror this morning and I like being old. My face has more content and when I train in the gym now I am not training to be strong or handsome - just better than I was yesterday. These days the race is just against myself.
Now people look at 'The Scream' or Van Gogh's 'Irises' or a Picasso and see its new content: money. Auction houses inherently equate capital with value.
Becoming a mom made me more contentious about expressing my true taste.
Men do not understand books until they have a certain amount of life or at any rate no man understands a deep book until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.
Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction craving and despising never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.
Resolved that the women of this nation in 1876 have greater cause for discontent rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776.
Content makes poor men rich discontent makes rich men poor.
The Christian's Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same but the medical practice changes.
Seeing unhappiness in the marriage of friends I was content to have chosen music and laughter as a substitute for a husband.
People disparage knowing and the intellectual life and urge doing. I am content with knowing if only I could know.
I believe that every role that I have done this far has had quality and content. My roles have been very demanding and every role has been a challenge and a learning experience that has helped me mature as an actress.
The role of the musician is to go from concept to full execution. Put another way it's to go from understanding the content of something to really learning how to communicate it and make sure it's well-received and lives in somebody else.
The real leader has no need to lead - he is content to point the way.
The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.
Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent.
The thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents.
