Quotations regarding 'Wonder'

Choose a letter: 
And I did wonder - because it's now three years ago since I left prison - whether there would come a time when I would forget it, or it would be in the past as anything else might be - no, it's there every day of my life.
Jeffrey Archer, English Politician (1940-  )
Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.

Only those who look with the eyes of children can lose themselves in the object of their wonder.
Eberhard Arnold, German Theologian (1883-1935)
There's always been a lot of pressure and tension on the line. If 'Pi' didn't work out, I have no idea what my career would be. I don't think I would have gotten another shot at it. If 'Requiem for a Dream' didn't work out, they would have called me a 'one-hit wonder with a sophomore slump'.
Darren Aronofsky, American Director (1969-  )
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.
Saint Augustine, Saint (354-430)
The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder.
Richard Bach, American Novelist (1936-  )
The amount of things I have been through and the remarkable ways in which the body has reacted is just phenomenal. No wonder I became religious, because you don't know why something's happening to you and you don't know how you bounced back.
Amitabh Bachchan, Indian Actor (1942-  )
And that might have led to other shows but you know what LA is like. I was in my early 30s and it wasn't going to get easier. You know, that's when you start to wonder if you might have to get lots of plastic surgery.
Jane Badler, American Actress (1953-  )
Yet the wonder of it all is that, while engaged in a seemingly endless struggle, the Israelis have managed to turn a desert into a garden.
George Ball, American Politician
As neither of these two great research scientists was able to find the solution to the mystery, it is small wonder that none of their contemporaries were able to do so either.
Robert Barany, Austrian Scientist (1876-1936)
We are beginning to wonder whether a servant girl hasn't the best of it after all. She knows how the salad tastes without the dressing, and she knows how life's lived before it gets to the parlor door.
Djuna Barnes, American Novelist (1892-1982)
President Obama insists he's a free-market guy. But you have to wonder whether he understands how a free economy really works.
Fred Barnes, American Journalist
I've read some of your modern free verse and wonder who set it free.
John Barrymore, American Actor (1882-1942)
I wonder if a soldier ever does mend a bullet hole in his coat?
Clara Barton, American Public Servant (1821-1912)
I wish I had Wonder Woman's magic lasso like her to make people tell the truth.
Kylie Bax, New Zealander Model (1975-  )
This is not to be cocky, but, I go over real well at Comic-Con. I've done quite a few Comic-Cons, and I enjoy the hell out of them. They are so much fun, and so bizarre. I've done the FX Show in Florida, Wizard-World in Chicago, Comic-Con in San Diego, Wonder-Con in San Francisco, the Comic-Con in New York, and I've done them numerous times.
Kristen Bell, American Actress (1980-  )

Kristen Bell, American Actress (1980-  )
Does there, I wonder, exist a being who has read all, or approximately all, that the person of average culture is supposed to have read, and that not to have read is a social sin? If such a being does exist, surely he is an old, a very old man.
Arnold Bennett, English Novelist (1867-1931)
Sometimes I think I'm real predictable to myself and other times... you always wonder, Is this really what I wanted to do? Did I make a mistake? Should I be doing something else?
Tom Berenger, American Actor (1949-  )
The fear of failure is so great, it is no wonder that the desire to do right by one's children has led to a whole library of books offering advice on how to raise them.
