Matters Quotes
Nothing matters as long as you are kind and authentic. If you are, then you did your best, and that is all you can do.
China Forbes
It matters little whether a man be mathematically or philologically or artistically cultivated, so he be but cultivated.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Many readers simply can't stomach fantasy. They immediately picture elves with broadswords or mighty-thewed barbarians with battle axes, seeking the bejeweled Coronet of Obeisance ... (But) the best fantasies pull aside the velvet curtain of mere appearance. ... In most instances, fantasy ultimately returns us to our own now re-enchanted world, reminding us that it is neither prosaic nor meaningless, and that how we live and what we do truly matters.
Michael Dirda
Different people get different things out of the images. It doesn't matter what it's about, all that matters is how it makes you feel.
Adam Jones
Art matters.
Barbara Januszkiewicz
We don't necessarily always agree, but hopefully we make each other think, and that's what matters.
Vanessa Kerry
I've got my Peabody and my Saturn awards right next to each other on my mantle, and that is about it, and that is all that matters.
Katee Sackhoff
Do not entertain the notion that you ought to advance in your prayer. If you do, you will only find you have put on the brake instead of the acceleration. All real progress in spiritual things comes gently, imperceptibly, and is the work of God. Our crude efforts spoil it. Know yourself for the childish, limited and dependent soul you are. Remember that the only growth which matters happens without our knowledge and that trying to stretch ourselves is both dangerous and silly. Think of the Infinite Goodness, never of your own state.
Evelyn Underhill
I never gave a thought to any kind of danger, being all too engrossed in matters of an utterly different character.
Alexandra Kollontai
Novelists who pretend to understand what keeps them scribbling are really just guessing. A profound, unmet childish need to be acknowledged? Maybe. It hardly matters, though. The termite that asks itself why it keeps chewing risks becoming sluggish and inefficient, as does the writer who grows self-conscious in the middle of chapter five.
Walter Kirn
Everybody matters. Everyone just wants to be heard.
Oprah Winfrey
Law matters, because it keeps us safe, because it protects our most fundamental rights and freedoms, and because it is the foundation of our democracy.
Elena Kagan
