All F Quotes

“F irst and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money. I played drums because I loved them... My soul is that of a drummer... It came to where I had to make a decision - I was going to be a drummer. Everything else goes now. I play drums. It was a conscious moment in my life when I said the rest of things were getting in the way. I didn't do it to be come rich and famous, I did it because it was the love of my life.”

“f parenting were an adventure sport; it would be the most courageous sport in the world. It involves venturing into the unknown, full of unexpected twists and turns, and is completely unpredictable. It is also thrilling and rewarding. Parenting is by far my boldest adventure. I’m not an expert, but I am a mother who loves her children and I believe in family. Parenting is not something you do so much as who you are. You don’t “do” mothering. You don’t “do” fathering. You are a mother. You are a father. You are in the process of shaping a life and leaving a legacy.”

“f the government is going to put money into the automobile sector, it should break up GM and Chrysler as a condition of financial aid, and it should be even-handed in its treatment of start-up firms like Tesla, Miles, Fisker, and others. It would be terrible to kill the entrepreneurs who have taken great risks to bring new automotive technologies to market by pumping tax dollars into the behemoths that have done everything wrong for the last years.”

“f the universe slid a dream into your heart, it wasn't just casually tossing it your way—it's more like a cosmic FedEx delivery, complete with a big, bold 'This Way to Your Destiny' sticker. So, unwrap that dream like it's the best gift you've ever received, & get to work bringing it to life. Trust in the divine that brought it to you, & remember: when the universe delivers, it's never with a 'return to sender' option. So, rock that dream, because in the universe's grand plan, it totally is!”

“f you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals - if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.”

“f you are too good to look after God’s trash, you are not good enough to look after God’s treasure.”

“F-A-I-L-I-N-G [is] Finding An Important Lesson, Inviting Needed Growth. So you don't actually fail, you find a better way to do whatever you're doing, and that's your ability, the truth of your core from past life experiences to where you are now in this life. It gives you the ability to be in your truth, without anything holding you down in a box that will never open.”

“F. Scott Fitzgerald has an indespensible quote: 'The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at once and still retain the ability to function'. Or, as I like to call it, 'O.J. killed his wife, and the police are corrupt.'”

“F.R. Leavis's "eat up your broccoli" approach to fiction emphasises this junkfood/wholefood dichotomy. If reading a novel--for theeighteenth century reader, the most frivolous of diversions--did not, by the middle of the twentieth century, make you a better person in some way, then you might as well flush the offending volume down the toilet, which was by far the best place for the undigested excreta of dubious nourishment.”

“F8 And Be There! For years, this was the cry of the photojournalist. It meant that 90% of a great photo was being in the right place at the right time. True, it was simplistic, but in the Age of Photoshop, this maxim is too often forgotten. No matter how much you play with the bits and bytes, the best images always start out with a great vision, clearly and cleanly seen.”

“Fa parte della nostra natura biologica innamorarci, e di solito lo facciamo persino con la persona più improbabile o magari meno socialmente accettabile. La gente penserà magari che il nostro amato è pieno di difetti, ma a noi sembra perfetto. Questa sospensione del giudizio nelle faccende di cuore è comune al punto che non è irragionevole ipotizzare che abbia un solido fondamento neurobiologico. Sebbene l'amore appaia a volte nomade e irrazionale, ci sono validi e razionali fondamenti biologici di questa irrazionalità. […] Combattere contro l'amore vuol dire combattere contro la biologia, una battaglia da cui a lungo termine nessuno è uscito vincitore. Resistere all'amore è vano, come molti innamorati hanno scoperto. Le barriere che erigiamo contro di esso non hanno mai sradicato il sentimento, come hanno scoperto leader religiosi e famiglie ortodosse di ogni fede quando hanno voluto impedire ai figli di formare legami disapprovati.”
