It is almost as safe to assume that an artist of any dignity is against his country, i. e. , against the environment in which God hath placed him, as it is to assume that his country is against the artist.
If most people are not willing to see the difficulty, this is mainly because, consciously or unconsciously, they assume that it will be they who will settle these questions for the others, and because they are convinced of their own capacity to do this.
If you don't enjoy what you're doing, how can you assume anyone else will
Most people probably assume that Hristo is a grumpy, stubborn guy. . . That can't be further from the truth. He's a cheerful, candid person that never holds a grudge.
I beg you, reject antiquity, tradition, faith, and authority! Let us begin anew by doubting everything we assume has been proven!
Don't assume I'm dumb because I wear a suit and tie.
People around you, constantly under the pull of their emotions, change their ideas by the day or by the hour, depending on their mood. You must never assume that what people say or do in a particular moment is a statement of their permanent desires.
Introverts often assume what's inside is visible on the outside. We don't have to invent or fake the emotion; we just need to allow it to be seen!
Assume' makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'.
Why is it that we all - myself included - believe these stories? Why are we so quick to assume that the TSA is a bunch of jack-booted thugs, officious and arbitrary and drunk with power? It's because everything seems so arbitrary, because there's no accountability or transparency in the DHS.
You don't really get to know people behind the scenes. One can assume that it's out there, but I have no idea at the end of the day. I hope not.
Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.
The first mistake of art is to assume that it's serious.
My view is that consciousness, the seat of "personalness," is the ultimate reality, and is also scientifically impenetrable. In other words, there is no scientific test one can postulate that would definitively prove its existence in another entity. We assume that other biological human persons, at least those who are at least acting conscious, are indeed conscious. But this too is an assumption, and this shared human consensus breaks down when we go beyond human experience (e. g. , the debate on animal consciousness, and by extension animal rights).
It's pretty sad that when people see a guy buying flowers, they assume he's in trouble.
She looks honestly upset, but then, I’ve learned that I can’t read her. The problem with a really excellent liar is that you have to just assume they’re always lying.
Odd how it was so easy for a stranger to assume such familiarity. Especially when those who were supposed to know you best often didn't, not at all.
Talent, don't bother about wether or not you have it. Just assume that you do, and forget about it. Talent is a word we use after someone has become accomplished.
We assume that we’re masters of our environment, rather than being a part of it.
I think it's easy for people to assume that fame is equal to glory, but it can be a very isolating experience.
