Crappin Forte Quotes

#1. Tant que je vive, mon cueur ne changera
Pour nulle vivante, tant soit elle bonne ou sage
Forte et puissante, riche de hault lignaige
Mon chois est fait, aultrene se fera
***
Long as I live, my heart will never vary
For no one else, however fair or good
Brave, resolute, or rich, of gentle blood
My choice is made, and I will have no other. #Quote by Dorothy Dunnett

#2. I have not, in general, much belief in the ability of woman as a creative artist. Unwritten lyrics, as [Ralph Waldo] Emerson said once when we conversed on this subject, should be her forte. #Quote by Fredrika Bremer

#3. Speechifying was never my forte – one on one I can generally figure out what I need to do to get someone moving in my direction, but pool enough of them together and the sheer mass of idiocy becomes immobile. #Quote by Daniel Polansky

#4. I'm most interested in finding the strangeness and irony in reality. That's my forte. #Quote by Mary Ellen Mark

#5. I never planned on being a live performer. My whole forte was about being in the studio, producing, playing the piano on recording sessions. I was all about the studio. #Quote by Allen Toussaint

#6. I'm a big animal. Fine motor skills are not me forte. #Quote by Mike Mehalek

#7. I'm definitely not a science nerd. That was not my forte at school. #Quote by Emily Blunt

#8. It isn't the sort of argument Pointsman relishes either. But he glances sharply at this young anarchist in his red scarf. "Pavlov believed that the ideal, the end we all struggle toward in science, is the true mechanical explanation. He was realistic enough not to expect it in his lifetime. Or in several lifetimes more. But his hope was for a long chain of better and better approximations. His faith ultimately lay in a pure physiological basis for the life of the psyche. No effect without cause, and a clear train of linkages.

"It's not my forte, of course," Mexico honestly wishing not to offend the man, but really, "but there's a feeling about that cause-and-effect may have been taken as far as it will go. That for science to carry on at all, it must look for a less narrow, a less . . . sterile set of assumptions. The next great breakthrough may come when we have the courage to junk cause-and-effect entirely, and strike off at some other angle."

"No - not 'strike off.' Regress. You're 30 years old, man. There are no 'other angles.' There is only forward - into it – or backward. #Quote by Thomas Pynchon

#9. ...indistinctness is my forte... #Quote by J. M. W. Turner

#10. Know, that in the course of your future life you will often find yourself elected the involuntary confidant of your acquaintances' secrets: people will instinctively find out, as I have done, that it is not your forte to tell of yourself, but to listen while others talk of themselves; they will feel, too, that you listen with no malevolent scorn of their indiscretion, but with a kind of innate sympathy; not the less comforting and encouraging because it is very unobtrusive in its manifestations." "How #Quote by Charlotte Bronte

#11. Fashion was never my forte. #Quote by Anne Wojcicki

#12. I'm a very bad impersonator so I can't even remember if I've ever done a sports person. I mean, I think I was Bruce Jenner once but I don't think I said anything in the sketch I was just sitting there in a like a bronze track suit. No dialogue. They don't trust me with dialogue. #Quote by Will Forte

#13. Vincent Forte was kicked out of the UFC because he was too hardcore. #Quote by Paul Scheer

#14. Acting and theatrics are my forte. #Quote by LeCrae

#15. Amor, ch'al cor gentile ratto s'apprende
prese costui de la bella persona
che mi fu tolta; e 'l modo ancor m'offende.

Amor, che a nullo amato amar perdona,
Mi prese del costui piacer sì forte,
Che, come vedi, ancor non m'abbandona..."

"Love, which quickly arrests the gentle heart,
Seized him with my beautiful form
That was taken from me, in a manner which still grieves me.

Love, which pardons no beloved from loving,
took me so strongly with delight in him
That, as you see, it still abandons me not... #Quote by Dante Alighieri

#16. If piano is the opposite of forte, graceful chitchat with strangers is definitely my piano. #Quote by Ursula K. Le Guin

#17. I don't know what kind of life you had, what sorts of joys and sorrows you experienced. But even if there was something that left you unfulfilled, you can't go around seeking it at other people's doors. Even if it is at the place you're most familiar with, and the sort of act that is your forte. #Quote by Haruki Murakami

#18. People sometimes get ripped from our lives and it's devastating. It's as though the hand of fate reaches inside your chest, rips out your guts, tosses them around a bit, then shoves them back in. Senseless and savage acts seem to be her forte.

I'm tired of fate. Tired of hating her. She's cruel to too many of us, she ignores most of us, and half the time she favors the unscrupulous.

Where did all the good fates go? Did they ever exist? Or on the rare occasions fate shines on good people is it only a fluke?

Maybe it was never fate that shined on them. Maybe they just slipped under her radar long enough to accomplish something significant without loss or grief or devastation. Or maybe there's something out there stronger than fate. Too bad it's frugal in choosing its battles with her. #Quote by Garten Gevedon

#19. It takes a tremendous amount of strength to be a single mother. To hold down the forte of a home, a life and your child's entire happiness. #Quote by Nikki Rowe

#20. Cover versions, that's my forte, that's all I ever used to do. When you play your own songs, it's quite scary, 'cause I'm quite honest and open, they can be very revealing. But covers, I don't have to think about, just get me up there! #Quote by Ellie Goulding

#21. If you have to find devices to coax yourself to stay focused on writing, perhaps you should not be writing what you're writing. And if this lack of motivation is a constant problem, perhaps writing is not your forte. I mean, what is the problem? If writing bores you, that is pretty fatal. If that is not the case, but you find that it is hard going and it just doesn't flow, well, what did you expect? It is work; art is work. #Quote by Ursula K. Le Guin

#22. Emotional grandeur, rendered in the vernacular, has been Mona Simpson's forte. In her novels, 'Anywhere but Here,' 'The Lost Father' and 'A Regular Guy,' Simpson wrote wide and long and high about the most profound human bonds: parents and children lost each other, found each other, lost each other again, but differently. #Quote by Stacey D'Erasmo

#23. I'm not good with limitations. I tend to like to find my own. It hurts sometimes, but it's good. I'm little extreme in that sense - the middle ground is not my forte. #Quote by Leonor Varela

#24. Singing is definitely not my forte. I'll put that out there on the record. #Quote by Shenae Grimes

#25. Action isn't my forte. I'm an expert on contemplation and mild regret. #Quote by Robert Sheckley

#26. We all grew up in that era. I'm a little younger than these guys [Will Forte and John Solomon], but I would say all of us are huge fans of the original "MacGyver" series, and obviously we found that inspiration for the original pitch for MacGruber. We took his name and made it stupid. In terms of the inspiration for the movie, that really came from our love for late '80s/early '90s action movies - the whole "Lethal Weapon" series and "Rambo" and "Die Hard," every single [Arnold] Schwarzenegger and [Sylvester] Stallone film. #Quote by Will Forte

#27. The young people who come to me in the hope of hearing me utter a few memorable maxims are quite disappointed. Aphorisms are not my forte, I say nothing but banalities ... I listen to them and they go away delighted. #Quote by Andre Gide

#28. I could've ended up in action films forever. But the comedy thing has been my forte. #Quote by Terry Crews

#29. Hunter can write a melody and stuff like that, but his forte is lyrics. He can write a serviceable melody to hang his lyrics on, and sometimes he comes up with something really nice. #Quote by Jerry Garcia

#30. While your children are sleeping, your puppy is crappin'. #Quote by Frank Zappa

#31. She was always waiting, it seemed to be her forte. #Quote by D.H. Lawrence

#32. I feel like all my faults go into making the person that I am. I like myself as a person. And I think taking any fault away would change who I am as a person. #Quote by Will Forte

#33. This place has struggles, triumphs, failures, and true joy, because happiness must be earned to be appreciated. This is a world that makes perfect sense. Justice reigns, and compassion is the most gracious virtue. This isn't the world that Lennon misguidedly envisioned in his beautiful song. His world was without consequences. On the surface, that might seem like the best solution, but if you follow the logic of it, his was an imagined world of pointless apathy. It was a world at peace, but remember, peace can only be valued in light of chaos. Without any defining commotion, without comparison, peace ceases to exist. Lennon dreamed of no greed or hunger. No wants or desires. In his imaginary world, there was nothing to live for or die for. There was nothing to fight for. Every one walked around with frontal lobotomies. #Quote by Marius Forte

#34. Pantomime is a big thing in the cultural calendar of my country, you know. So subtlety's not my forte. #Quote by Alan Cumming

#35. Well, most people would have said `thank you' after they'd been given help, and then I would have responded to that with `you're welcome'. I figured we'd skip straight to my part since social graces aren't your forte. #Quote by Heather James

#36. I'm not very good at impersonations. #Quote by Will Forte

#37. Psychos and megalomaniacs are my forte, remember? They all wanna hang with me #Quote by Gini Koch

#38. Kalkbrenner has made me an offer; that I should study with him for three years, and he will make something really - really out of me. I answered that I know how much I lack; but that I cannot exploit him, and three years is too much. But he has convinced me that I can play admirably when I am in the mood, and badly when I am not; a thing which never happens to him. After close examination he told me that I have no school; that I am on an excellent road, but can slip off the track. That after his death, or when he finally stops playing, there will be no representative of the great piano-forte school. That even if I wish it, I cannot build up a new school without knowing the old one; in a word : that I am not a perfected machine, and that this hampers the flow of my thoughts. That I have a mark in composition; that it would be a pity not to become what I have the promise of being ... #Quote by Frederic Chopin

#39. It was a well-known fact that keeping track of time was not Parry Pretty's forte ... If time were Parry's pet, it would have died tied to a tree somewhere out back long ago. #Quote by S.J. Musgraves

#40. Kicks are my forte. I've got strong legs and high kicks. And I've got very good reach, obviously. #Quote by Tamsin Egerton

#41. How many demons and people are enslaved here? (Jericho)
Define slavery. (Asmodeus)
Kept against their will. (Jericho)
Good definition. Counting me? (Asmodeus)
Why not? (Jericho)
Probably a couple of million ... you know it's really hard to count to a million, plus they're always dying and new ones are coming in. I tried to count once, but it got really depressing so I stopped. The constant adding and subtracting. Not my forte, really. (Asmodeus) #Quote by Sherrilyn Kenyon

#42. That was probably the stamp that went into my mind, because I worked in television for many years, doing that kind of music, so that really was my strong forte. #Quote by Skitch Henderson

#43. After my stellar first grade academic achievements, I continued to perform well in the city primary schools - except for penmanship, which was not my forte. #Quote by Vernon L. Smith

#44. I'm a 'Bridesmaids' type of girl. I love silliness. That's who I am at heart, and I know I can do it. If my career path takes me elsewhere, that's great. But comedy is my forte. #Quote by Kaley Cuoco

#45. My forte is awkwardness. #Quote by Zach Galifianakis

#46. Are women literal creatures? I have to admit this is not my forte. #Quote by Alex Rosa
