Max Kravitz Quotes

#1. Ryan Chase was my eighth-grade collage, aspirational and wide-eyed. But Max was the first bite of grilled cheese on a snowy day, the easy fit of my favorite jeans, that one old song that made it onto every playlist. Peanut-butter Girl Scout cookies instead of an ornate cake. Not glamorous or idealized or complicated. Just me. #Quote by Emery Lord

#2. If you ask a hundred people, they all give you different answers. #Quote by Lenny Kravitz

#3. We (Christians) are always in the presence of God. There is never a non-sacred moment! His presence never diminishes. Our awareness of His presence may falter, but the reality of His presence never changes. #Quote by Max Lucado

#4. And when I read one of those scapegoat pieces about the "viciousness" of drug pushers, and extolling the basic humanitarianism of the nark-squad hero, I'm saddened. Because it isn't Margo and it isn't Max who keeps the traffic moving: it's that same nark-squad hero with a small, brown paper bag that hustlers and pushers alike have to keep filled if they want to stay on the street. #Quote by Nelson Algren

#5. I'm Australian; I know how to use a shotgun! #Quote by Max Barry

#6. When this engineer, Sergeant Mukherjee, grabbed me by the arm #Quote by Max Brooks

#8. I tell the truth, and truth is the ultimate defense against libel. #Quote by Tucker Max

#9. I'm not going to be part of looking at information only partially. I'm not going to be part of just coming to quick conclusions. I'm not going to be part of political pressure to do this or not do that. I'm not going to be part of that. This is serious. #Quote by Max Cleland

#10. Auditioning is a funny one. It's all about energy. If you walk into a room and the room feels off or the people feel off, that can set you off. If the room is very small. I know which casting directors I should go to, because the place is conducive to doing a good job and the people are conducive and I know the other ones aren't, in which case I send in a tape. #Quote by Max Irons

#11. God does not relish our sufferings, but He delights in our development. #Quote by Max Lucado

#12. The Berlin of the '20s formed the foundation of my future education ... the Berlin of the UFA studios, of Fritz Lang, Lubitsch and Erich Pommer. The Berlin of the architects Gropius, Mendelsohn and Mies van der Rohe. The Berlin of the painters Max Libermann, Grosz, Otto Dix, Klee and Kandinsky. #Quote by Ken Adam

#13. I don't know if great times make great men, but I know they can kill them. #Quote by Max Brooks

#14. We are but pitiful narrative creatures... obsessing over the agony of not knowing. Sisyphus, Atlas, Echo, all those poor souls, now us. It is the oldest story of them all; never-ending pain. #Quote by Max Porter

#15. Greg looked at Aunt Dahlia. "You need to leave."
"I already told her that," Ham growled.
Greg ignored Ham like he didn't exist and said to Aunt Dahlia, "I'll ask the manager to have you removed."
"Since I dine here once a month, I doubt he'll choose removing me over removing the lot of you."
She twirled her finger in the air to indicate us all.
"Do you think," Nina started and I looked at her to see her looking at Max, "that this is normal? I mean, does this kind of thing happen to other people in the world? I really want to know."
Max smiled at his wife. I looked back at Aunt Dahlia to see, scarily, she was looking at me. "You need to phone your father."
"No, she doesn't." This was said by Kami Maxwell. I leaned forward and plonked my forehead on the table.

---

"Is there a problem here?" A mild-mannered-looking suited man I suspected was the manager entered the situation.
"No, I'm simply having a word with my niece," my aunt replied.
"Yes, this woman interrupted my wife's dinner in an extremely unpleasant way," Greg contradicted.
"She's not your wife," Ham grunted.
Uh-oh.
Shocking the crap out of me, Greg, with narrowed eyes and anger contorting his face, instantly fired back at Ham, "She'll always be my wife."
I went still. The table went still. I fancied the restaurant went still as I was pretty certain I watched ice form in a thick layer, crackling and groaning all around H #Quote by Kristen Ashley

#16. His life is an example. I pray that God will heal Jim's body. But until he does, God is using Jim to inspire people like me. God will do the same with you. He will use your struggle to change others. #Quote by Max Lucado

#17. I want to tell you this story without having to confess anything,
without having to say that I ran out into the street to prove something,
that he didn't love me,
that I wanted to be possessed, thrown over, that I wanted to have the wounds
nailed shut.
I want to tell you this story without having to be in it:
Max in the wrong clothes. Max at the party, drunk again.
Max in the kitchen, in refrigerator Ught, his hands around the neck of a beer.
Tell me we're dead and I'll love you
even more.
I'm surprised that I say it with feeling.
There's a thing in my stomach about this. A simple thing. The last rung. #Quote by Richard Siken

#18. I practised as an architect for 10 years. I qualified in 1973 with a fellowship diploma of architecture. World Series Cricket gave me the freedom to go out and pursue architecture. #Quote by Max Walker

#20. My dad dated a lot of supermodels. #Quote by Zoe Kravitz

#21. The most blessed gift that God can give any person is a knowledge of Himself. #Quote by Max Anders

#22. In October of 1973, when the Arab sneak attack almost drove us into the Mediterranean, we had all the intelligence in front of us, all the warning signs, and we had simply "dropped the ball." We never considered the possibility of an all-out, coordinated, conventional assault from several nations, certainly not on our holiest of holidays. Call it stagnation, call it rigidity, call it an unforgivable herd mentality. Imagine a group of people all staring at writing on a wall, everyone congratulating one another on reading the words correctly. But behind that group is a mirror whose image shows the writing's true message. No one looks at the mirror. No one thinks it's necessary. Well, after almost allowing the Arabs to finish what Hitler started, we realized that not only was that mirror image necessary, but it must forever be our national policy. From 1973 onward, if nine intelligence analysts came to the same conclusion, it was the duty of the tenth to disagree. No matter how unlikely or far-fetched a possibility might be, one must always dig deeper. If a neighbor's nuclear power plant might be used to make weapons-grade plutonium, you dig; if a dictator was rumored to be building a cannon so big it could fire anthrax shells across whole countries, you dig; and if there was even the slightest chance that dead bodies were being reanimated as ravenous killing machines, you dig and dig until you stike the absolute truth. #Quote by Max Brooks

#23. God sinks into dust before man. #Quote by Max Stirner

#24. Even the wisest people learn little from their successes; God warns His people against allowing their victories (which He will grant) to lead them into pride and spiritual indifference. Instead, they should pay close attention to God's Word. #Quote by Max Anders

#25. When Jesus died on the cross, so did your sin; when He rose from the dead, so did your HOPE. #Quote by Max Lucado

#26. It is a fascinating fact that father and son have given the most striking evidence for the apparently contradictory properties of the electron: the father proving its character as a particle, the son its character as a wave ... Thomson was extremely proud of his son's success and tried to assimilate the new results into his old convictions. #Quote by Max Born

#27. The immediate moment is all that exists for them; everything must serve it, no matter whether what they ruin in the process is something they will be in dire need of the next minute. #Quote by Max Hastings

#28. I hardly ever go to showbiz parties, it's not my style. That doesn't mean to say I don't have a good time. I love hanging out with mates. #Quote by Max Beesley

#29. The dead walk among us. Zombies, ghouls-no matter what their label-these somnambulists are the greatest threat to humanity, other than humanity itself. #Quote by Max Brooks

#30. If you knew that only a few would care that you came, would you still come? If you knew that those you loved would laugh in your face, would you still care? If you knew that the tongues you made would mock you, the mouths you made would spit at you, the hands you made would crucify you, would you still make them? Christ did. #Quote by Max Lucado

#31. The basis lies in the idea that if you're kind to others, good things will happen to you. #Quote by Max Gray

#32. We can have all the facts in the world, but what it comes down to is character - Max Darling #Quote by Carolyn G. Hart

#33. The living dead had taken more from us than land and loved ones. They'd robbed us of our confidence as the planet's dominant life form. We were a shaken, broken species, driven to the edge of extinction and grateful only for tomorrow with perhaps a little less suffering than today. Was this the legacy we would leave our children, a level of anxiety and self-doubt not seen since our simian ancestors cowered in the tallest trees? What kind of world would they rebuild? Would they rebuild at all? Could they continue to progress, knowing that they would be powerless to reclaim their future? And what if that future saw another rise of the living dead? Would our descendants rise to meet them in battle, or simply crumple in meek surrender and accept what they believe to be their inevitable extinction? For this alone, we had to reclaim our planet. We had to prove to ourselves that we could do it, and leave that proof as this war's greatest monument. The long, hard road back to humanity, or the regressive ennui of Earth's once-proud primates. That was the choice, and it had to be made now. #Quote by Max Brooks

#34. This is not the "relativism of truth" presented by journalistic takes on postmodernism. Rather, the ironist's cage is a state of irony by way of powerlessness and inactivity: In a world where terrorism makes cultural relativism harder and harder to defend against its critics, marauding international corporations follow fair-trade practices, increasing right-wing demagoguery and violence can't be answered in kind, and the first black U.S. president turns out to lean right of center, the intelligentsia can see no clear path of action. Irony dominates as a "mockery of the promise and fitness of things," to return to the OED definition of irony.

This thinking is appropriate to Wes Anderson, whose central characters are so deeply locked in ironist cages that his films become two-hour documents of them rattling their ironist bars. Without the irony dilemma Roth describes, we would find it hard to explain figures like Max Fischer, Steve Zissou, Royal Tenenbaum, Mr. Fox, and Peter Whitman. I'm not speaking here of specific political beliefs. The characters in question aren't liberals; they may in fact, along with Anderson himself, have no particular political or philosophical interests. But they are certainly involved in a frustrated and digressive kind of irony that suggests a certain political situation. Though intensely self-absorbed and central to their films, Anderson's protagonists are neither heroes nor antiheroes. These characters are not lovable eccentrics. They a #Quote by Arved Mark Ashby

#35. One day at time. #Quote by Max Higgins

#36. If alpha [the fine-structure constant] were bigger than it really is, we should not be able to distinguish matter from ether [the vacuum, nothingness], and our task to disentangle the natural laws would be hopelessly difficult. The fact however that alpha has just its value 1/137 is certainly no chance but itself a law of nature. It is clear that the explanation of this number must be the central problem of natural philosophy. #Quote by Max Born

#37. Overall, I'm happy how 'Original Sin' has come together. It's an amalgam of all I've done at Marvel, mixing the gritty, violent 'Punisher Max' stuff with the zany, light-hearted 'Wolverine & The X-Men' work. #Quote by Jason Aaron

#38. Look, Max, I don't know why Chigwell tried to kill himself. … But if it was because of the questions I was asking, I don't feel one minute of remorse. … If – and it's a mighty big if – if I'd known two weeks ago that my seeing him would make him turn on the gas, you'd better believe I'd do it again. #Quote by Sara Paretsky

#39. Jesus," he muttered, dropping his head.
"What?"
He looked back at me. "Duchess, you can argue about anything."
"No I can't."
"So, now you're arguin' about not arguing?"
I decided to be quiet. #Quote by Kristen Ashley

#40. There is no book in the world that is so thrilling, stirring and inspiring as the Upanishads. #Quote by Max Muller

#41. No one can pray and worry at the same time. #Quote by Max Lucado

#42. Jesus isn't a God who stayed on the mountaintop - he's a Savior who came down and lived and worked with the people. #Quote by Max Lucado

#43. It is true that many scientists are not philosophically minded and have hitherto shown much skill and ingenuity but little wisdom. #Quote by Max Born

#44. And, let us not forget, the culmination of nearly five thousand years of continuous Chinese history. #Quote by Max Brooks

#45. Now is not the time to open the border to receive Canadian beef down to the United States. #Quote by Max Baucus

#46. Often, a school is your best bet-perhaps not for education but certainly for protection from an undead attack. #Quote by Max Brooks

#47. The dark ages are obscure but they were not weird. Magicians there were, to be sure, and miracles. In the flickering firelight of the winter hearth, mead songs were sung of dragons and ring-givers, of fell deeds and famine, of portents and vengeful gods. Strange omens in the sky were thought to foretell evil times. But in a world where the fates seemed to govern by whimsy and caprice, belief in sympathetic magic, superstition and making offerings to spirits was not much more irrational than believing in paper money: trust is an expedient currency. There were charms to ward of dwarfs, water-elf disease and swarms of bees; farmers recited spells against cattle thieves and women knew of potions to make men more - or less - virile. Soothsayers, poets and those who remembered the genealogies of kings were held in high regard. The past was an immense source of wonder and inspiration, of fear and foretelling. #Quote by Max Adams

#48. Pragmatism , in trying to turn experimental physics into a prototype of all science and to model all spheres of intellectual life after the techniques of the laboratory, is the counterpart of modern industrialism, for which the factory is the prototype of human existence, and which models all branches of culture after production on the conveyor belt. #Quote by Max Horkheimer

#49. As an actor, variety is the spice of life. I love theatre ... it's what I enjoy the most. But a bit of TV, a bit of film, a bit of stage - what more could you ask for? #Quote by Max Irons
