Death is a release from the impressions of the senses and from desires that make us their puppets and from the vagaries of the mind and from the hard service of the flesh.

If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.

My dad was an engineer and so I had this picture of science and technology and pursuits of the mind as being more impressive than artistic pursuits which I saw a as kind of frivolous.

He's a guy's guy so it pretty much became like the impressions - don't imitate Sean Connery's voice and things like that. We were all kind of doing it towards the end of the film anyway and he was cool with it.

I get around OK with a toolbox. As a kid I picked up skills following my dad through the oil fields of Oklahoma and West Texas. My wife Janine is hard to impress but she does think it's cool when I fix things around the house.

They're a different generation those kids kids that are under the age of twelve. They're not that impressed by rock music you know what I mean? They're like it's cool and everything but whatever. They're just as impressed by YouTube.

It's interesting to feel the pressure of having to be outgoing because I think in general as a human being I'm pessimistic and introverted. But it's cool because it's a whole different side of me and I impress myself. Even at times when I think that there's no possible way that I can be engaging I'll suddenly pull it out and impress myself.

Our business is infested with idiots who try to impress by using pretentious jargon.

In less enlightened times the best way to impress women was to own a hot car. But women wised up and realized it was better to buy their own hot cars so they wouldn't have to ride around with jerks.

We were astonished by the beauty and refinement of the art displayed by the objects surpassing all we could have imagined - the impression was overwhelming.

There is no spot of ground however arid bare or ugly that cannot be tamed into such a state as may give an impression of beauty and delight.

Physical beauty isn't so impressive to me.

Beauty must appeal to the senses must provide us with immediate enjoyment must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.

Vampires are so old that they don't need to impress anyone anymore. They're comfortable in their own skin. It's this enigmatic strength that's very romantic and old-fashioned. I think it goes back to something of a Victorian attitude of finding a strong man who's going to look after his woman.

I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing as his attitude - he wasn't a great player but everything else about him was brilliant.

I am an anarchist in politics and an impressionist in art as well as a symbolist in literature. Not that I understand what these terms mean but I take them to be all merely synonyms of pessimist.

Cinema is still a very young art form with extraordinary techniques and very impressive special effects but sometimes it seems the soul has been taken out of things.
