Lendl has remained throughout as calm as the proverbial iceberg.
What I'm doing on stage now is just the tip of the iceberg.
The attacks on old words and the coining of new are the visible tip of the iceberg of change.
Every writer is necessarily a critic - that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on. The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg - nine-tenths of him is under water.
If Mark Henry was the Titanic, the iceberg would've sank!
What is powerful is when what you say is just the tip of the iceberg of what you know
Is it not clear that a reviewer's psyche, like an iceberg, is seven-eighths beneath the surface?
Like icebergs, people normally expose only a small part of themselves, and generally just the part they wish to show.
If a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing.
Barack Obama volunteered to be the Captain of the Titanic AFTER it hit the iceberg
There's nothing wrong with a plan, but remember Von Moltke's famous dictum that no plan survives first contact with the enemy. The danger is a plan that seduces us into thinking failure is impossible and adaptation is unnecessary - a kind of ‘Titanic' plan, unsinkable (until it hits the iceberg).
If there had been zombies on the iceberg when the Titanic hit it, that would have made a much better movie.
People are icebergs. So much of us is underneath.
I always try to write on the principle of the iceberg. There is seven-eighths of it underwater for every part that shows.
I had to learn that a good actor, like an iceberg, reveals only a small part of his ability on the surface. You suggest; you don't serve on a platter. You hold back. You don't expose it all to view. That's the way to put the audience's imagination to work.
Just because you see an iceberg does not mean that there isn't global warming.
New York is a diamond iceberg floating in river water.
Whats in the movie compared to what we shot is the tip of the iceberg.
The euro Titanic has now hit the iceberg - and there simply aren't enough lifeboats to go round.
I tell a little bit of my life to them, and they tell a little of theirs to me. The picture itself is just the tip of the iceberg.
