The taste of defeat has a richness of experience all its own.
Bill Bradley, American Politician (1943- )
Blanche talks about aging, and why should she be considered poor, because physical beauty is transitory and fading and she has such richness of the soul. I think that speech is so beautiful, and so telling and so true.
Delta Burke, American Actress (1956- )
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne, French Artist (1839-1906)
Our democratic richness arrives when we're able to comprehend our collective humanity accurately.
Stanley Crouch, American Critic (1945- )
I think we have to be careful about what we label as a prerequisite for spirituality. I don't think you have to know a lot to have a spiritual life, but knowing gives life richness.
Olympia Dukakis, American Actress (1931- )
Today we're dealing with metropolitan Shanghai, metropolitan New Delhi or Paris. If we're competing at that level, our diversity, that richness of people coming from so many different backgrounds, is one of our greatest advantages.
John Hickenlooper, American Politician (1952- )
Acoustic phonetics, which is developing and increasing in richness very rapidly, already enables us to solve many of the mysteries of sound, mysteries which motor phonetics could not even begin to solve.
Roman Jakobson, Russian Scientist (1896-1982)
I like to be surrounded by harmonies and fullness and richness and vitality.
Al Jardine, American Musician (1942- )
Some have said that the power of a Redeemer would depend upon two things: first, upon the richness of the self that was given; and second, upon the depths of the giving. Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ.
E. Stanley Jones, American Theologian
The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
Helen Keller, American Author (1880-1968)
When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy, American President (1917-1963)
The Inhabitants of Carolina, thro' the Richness of the Soil, live an easy and pleasant Life.
John Lawson, British Explorer
I have been overcome by the beauty and richness of our life together, those early mornings setting out, those evenings gleaming with rivers and lakes below us, still holding the last light.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, American Writer (1906-2001)
The Dark Side of the Moon is a fine album with a textural and conceptual richness that not only invites, but demands involvement. There is a certain grandeur.
Alan Parsons, British Musician (1948- )
The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Cesare Pavese, Italian Poet (1908-1950)
Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience - by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence.
Herbert Read, English Poet
The richness of the world, all artificial pleasures, have the taste of sickness and give off a smell of death in the face of certain spiritual possessions.
Georges Rouault, French Artist (1871-1958)
My great hope would be that Quebec would realize itself fully as a distinct part of Canada, and stay Canadian, bringing to Canada a part of its richness.
Gabrielle Roy, Canadian Author (1909-1983)
As a matter of fact, a national language which spreads beyond its own confines very quickly loses much of its original richness of content and is in no better case than a constructed language.
Edward Sapir, American Scientist (1884-1939)
The supposed inferiority of a constructed language to a national one on the score of richness of connotation is, of course, no criticism of the idea of a constructed language.
Edward Sapir, American Scientist (1884-1939)
