Kingsley Amis

No wonder people are so horrible when they start life as children.
Kingsley Amis

We are really on top of one another at the moment and I think it is amazing how we stay so close. Maybe that's the test. Why not totally put yourself together, rather than always wonder whether you actually like each other?
Linda McCartney

Sometimes I wonder why God ever trusts talent in the hands of women, they usually make such an infernal mess of it. I think He must do it as a sort of ghastly joke.

Jennifer Lopez

People wonder if I'll always be a part of this family and the answer is yes. My family has a lot of good energy going in one direction and because of it, we get a lot of things done. That's why I'll always spend a lot of time at Camp Phoenix.
River Phoenix

I don't dictate, you don't dictate to Stevie Wonder, not successfully.
Spike Lee

How does one kill fear, I wonder? How do you shoot a specter through the heart, slash off its spectral head, take it by its spectral throat?

After reaching 50, I began to wonder what the root of life is.
Yo-Yo Ma

You watch some teams these days and you wonder if they just met on the playground and decided to choose up sides.

We experience problem-solving sessions as war zones, we view competing ideas as enemies, and we use problems as weapons to blame and defeat opposition forces. No wonder we can't come up with real lasting solutions!
Margaret J. Wheatley

I don't take things for granted, because everything feels more fragile. It's made me wonder about mortality and how long you've got somebody in the world. I'm more fearful than I used to be.

Abraham Joshua Heschel

I've read some of your modern free verse and wonder who set it free.

I am filled with awe that filmmakers have the capacity to stir us and give us back a sense of wonder.

Gary Oldman

I get scared to death when I see people who say they've found Jesus Christ, and they're out there, and I wonder, who's teaching them? Who's mentoring them?

George Farquhar

At Motel 6 in Amish Country I wonder if they leave the light on for you?
Jay London

Graham Greene

I consciously try to end my novels at a point where I won't have to wonder about my characters ever again.

Thomas More

Poetry is always slightly mysterious, and you wonder what is your relationship to it.

Kristen Stewart

I wonder whether if I had an education I should have been more or less a fool that I am.
Alice James

I never think it's right to chew gum in front of other people, but a lot of times I'll come in for a meeting chewing gum and I'll forget I'm chewing it.

Jennifer Lawrence

Is there any wonder why we are in such big trouble? Any question why the people don't trust their government anymore, and demand a change?

Natalie Wood

I think I've still got a bit of a sado-masochistic streak in me, because if I'm not going to be restricted by corsets and covered in lace, then I still wind up wearing an ape-mask over my face. I do wonder how I get myself in these situations!
Helena Bonham Carter

Jay-Z

Sanford I. Weill

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

So I wonder if anything should ever be off limits.

Cesar Romero

 

 

When some guy shows up with a shopping bag full of records and CD's and wants me to sign every one plus fifteen pieces of blank paper I wonder what the hell is he doing with all of that?

Art Buchwald

Every time you think television has hit its lowest ebb, a new program comes along to make you wonder where you thought the ebb was.
Art Buchwald

It has been very erotic and provocative for people to wonder about my feelings for women.
Catherine Deneuve

He who wonders discovers that this in itself is wonder.

Bruce Weber

Wonder is from surprise, and surprise stops with experience.

People talk about 'getting rid of the old image', and I guess there's some merit in that. But the truth is that people loved 'The Wonder Years' - I can't turn my back on it.
Danica McKellar

I played Winnie Cooper on 'The Wonder Years' from ages 12-18, and did a few other movies during some of the summers.

Danica McKellar

Sometimes I wonder how I got into comedy at all.

Sara Blakely

The acknowledged legislators of the world take the world as given. They dislike mysteries, for mysteries cannot be coded, or legislated, and wonder cannot be made into law. And so these legislators police the accepted frontiers of things.
Ben Okri

When you walk the track and you see a corner and realise you were going round it at 160mph, you wonder who could be so stupid to take a corner at that speed. But in the car, you don't even think about that.

Sebastian Vettel

Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's 'Courant,' it no longer requires a dystopic imagination to wonder who will have the dubious distinction of publishing America's last genuine newspaper. Few believe that newspapers in their current printed form will survive.

George Henry Lewes
