Top Criss Quotes

Criss Quotes By Criss Angel

The American Public is who I'm interested in. Ultimately, if they think I'm good and they think I'm entertaining that's all that matters. — Criss Angel

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Whenever we want to combat our enemies, first and foremost we must start by understanding them rather than exaggerating their motives. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

A wise man's goal shouldn't be to say something profound, but to say something useful. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

People, generally, are equally insecure. They just show it (or hide it) differently. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Angel

I want to ride my motorcycle up the side of the Luxor to the light and vanish. — Criss Angel

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Learning isn't acquiring knowledge so much as it is trimming information that has already been acquired. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Darren Criss

Fashion is about owning whatever you're wearing, regardless of if it's a high fashion statement or not. — Darren Criss

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

When most of the greatest individuals in history were misunderstood and you've spent so much of your own adult life misunderstood, you can't help but believe that the majority of people know very little worth knowing. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

To claim that one can never live a positive life with a negative mind is a very negative claim to make! — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

The humble ones are always learning and improving, and their secret is always that it's a secret. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Pride has quite a bit to do with hatred. In many a case in which one hates another, one subconsciously begins patterns of cherry-picking and selective hearing: he continues to look only for things about the other person which he can use to justify his hatred, things which will then make him feel less guilty about hating someone. In this regard, hatred is not so much an emotion as it is a decision. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

The surface of learning is hearing what your ears aren't prepared to hear, and the core of learning is hearing what your ears don't want to hear. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Senses of humor define people, as factions, deeper rooted than religious or political opinions. When carrying out everyday tasks, opinions are rather easy to set aside, but those whom a person shares a sense of humor with are his closest friends. They are always there to make the biggest influence. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

I would rather have strong enemies than a world of passive individualists. In a world of passive individualists nothing seems worth anything simply because nobody stands for anything. That world has no convictions, no victories, no unions, no heroism, no absolutes, no heartbeat. That world has rigor mortis. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

God loves atheists. The former ones make the most compelling theists because they're so empirically familiar with how atheists think. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

You are believing not in your god but in yourself if your god knows no better than you do ... and yet, in this alone, I am afraid, you have already been fooling yourself. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

When a poet digs himself into a hole, he doesn't climb out. He digs deeper, enjoys the scenery, and comes out the other side enlightened. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

As for the secularist belief that says 'if we were to eliminate all religions, the world would know peace,' this is the Atheist Heaven; thus it is so important to him (although perhaps more laughable than some say the Christian Heaven). It is about as useless as saying 'if all people were true Christians, the world would know peace,' or 'if all people were devout Muslims, the world would know peace.' And even yet, the secular dream could remain active only for a time before generational rebellion and freedom of thought were to kick in anew. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Darren Criss

I'm super annoying, I'm the kind of guy that if there's no recycling bins around I hoard plastic bottles, put them in my bag and I bring them home. If I can afford it I want to put solar panels in. — Darren Criss

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

I never feel unsafe except for when the majority is on my side. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Many people in a rather reckless context claim to 'just tell it like it is'. In actuality, nobody really stresses what one says so much as the motive behind what one says; hence, he is merely blowing hot air and detracting from 'what is'. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Excitement is a crossroad which runs in all directions. No man lacks personality; he just never connected with you at the intersection. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Think outside the box? Indeed. But to add balance to that, one should not in the process forget what the inside of the box looks like as well. Those who are best at thinking outside the box do it not to puff themselves up, but to see how small they really are. As a contented fish in its fish tank appears to have a small, boring existence to us, imagine a larger, more perceptive kingdom (even by scientific taxonomy) to whom our contented existences may appear to be small and boring. This is where true creativity and massive perceptive abilities spawn a sense of intellectual humility; the kind which God adores. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

I do not believe it possible for one to genuinely love Truth more than people (or vice versa). One might fall into the snare of loving the search more than people, or the pride of having exposed something or someone, but not the truth itself. For if you love Truth you love people; because to love people at all and without illusion, you must also love the truth about them. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By J.D. Tyler

Ryon posed the question in all their minds -what the fuck is he?
The love child of Criss Angel and Adam Lambert? Jaxon tossed back.
His friend gave a soft snort that might've been a laugh. With a little Nikki Sixx thrown in, sure. — J.D. Tyler

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Love is one of those topics that plenty of people try to write about but not enough try to do. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Extreme right-wingers are known for giving God a bad name; extreme left-wingers are known for giving God a weak name. He's not as simple as conservative versus liberal, old versus new. His wings are balanced. God is both and neither. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Every time I create something, whether an idea or a work of art, initially, its supposed completion seems absolutely perfect to me. However the more I think about it, stare it down, the more it marinates in my soul over the hours, days, and weeks, the more flaws I start to find in it; and finally, the more I'm pressed to continue enhancing it. It essentially turns out that whatever thing a flawed and imperfect, human eye once thought was amazing begins to appear quite wretched. This is why, eternally, God cannot be impressed by mere talents or by mortal achievements. To perfect eyes, I imagine that great is not really that great; rather, humility is ultimately a human being's true greatness. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Discernment is the son of good judgment and the father of self-control. When mixed with an already clear conscience, the ability to read the true motives of a critic keeps one's conscience both clear and at ease. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

In essence I find that the foundation of modern conservatism is driven by a clinging to God in fear of the world, whereas the foundation of modern liberalism is a clinging to the world in fear of God; albeit, the true foundation should be one's clinging to God in fear of God. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Ultimate prosperity is one's value within. It takes a man of depth, morality, and charm to be envied yet without a sign of wealth or romance. A passion to prove such inner worth is his permission to achieve whatever he desires. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Angel

I am a street performer as much as I am a stage performer. Yes, I have a television show, but every trick, every 'Mindfreak' you see, I can do live. — Criss Angel

Criss Quotes By Darren Criss

All my aunts in the Phillipines, they look at me and say 'Darreeeeeen! You so thin! Eat!' — Darren Criss

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Whenever you feel like feeling like a devil's advocate, Bible-thump. That, in a worldly world, is the great irony and satire of evangelism. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Armed neutrality makes it much easier to detect hypocrisy. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Divinity for the sake of the simple-minded is beautiful. Those theological assertions you write, say, or live by that you later feel foolish about, it means God still lives in you enough to tell you that they were indeed foolish. By mistakes you know you are alive. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Angel

I have my own foundation, which I just started, called Believe Anything Is Possible, which is going to be an organization to help the underprivileged. — Criss Angel

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

I enjoy melancholic music and art. They take me to places I don't normally get to go. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Life is about discovering things worth dying for. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

The writer's curse is that even in solitude, no matter its duration, he never grows lonely or bored. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Love is without a doubt the laziest theory for the meaning of life, but when it actually comes a time to do it we find just enough energy to over-complicate life again. Any devil can love, whom he himself sees as, a good person who has treated him well, but to love also the polar opposite is what separates love from fickle emotions. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

To ask, 'How do you do it?' is already starting off on the wrong foot. When reaching for the stars, there does not have to be a 'how' if there is a big enough 'why'. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Max Planck

The whole strenuous intellectual work of an industrious research worker would appear, after all, in vain and hopeless, if he were not occasionally through some striking facts to find that he had, at the end of all his criss-cross journeys, at last accomplished at least one step which was conclusively nearer the truth. — Max Planck

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

What man ever openly apologizes for slander? It is not so much a feeling of slander as it is that of a massive lie, a misdeed not only to the slandered but also to those manipulated in the process. He has made them all, every one, his enemies, thereupon he is so overwhelmed with guilt that he will deny it until his grave. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Peter Criss

The magic's back and we're in a time tunnel, feeling like when we were in our 20s back in the 1970s. — Peter Criss

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

It helps to not confuse theological philosophers with evangelists. There is a difference but objectively neither better than the other: an evangelist's mission is to convert; a theological philosopher's mission is to build an understanding of a position. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Thunderstorms are as much our friends as the sunshine. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Angel

Houdini connected to people on an emotional level so that when he would escape that straight jacket it wasn't about the straight jacket. It was about people looking at it and escaping poverty. When you have that it's the truest form of magic. — Criss Angel

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Simplicity is a bliss that makes one comprehend. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

I fall asleep
Call it deep while all is well be-
Cause my life seems like a freestyle mean-
While asleep on the couch I dream it's a written piece and now
The symphony's sounding
Shouting out to these feet whose leaps feel foul but quite loud
But how
I'm allowed to live my dreams
My Chimeran team brings the Siberian breed
Riding reality free 'til these tires they freeze
In mires in dire need of wires, fire and heat but
I love a dark, hard cold heart in the wintery breeze — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

In a society where dirt sells, for every good story told as it is, you will hear the whole of that day's 10 bad stories sensationalized; although in reality, it could be that 100 good deeds happened that day which went unsung. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

The crazy creatives are the creatives who never go completely mad. They aren't so easily disheartened by the seemingly endless amounts of scrutiny that creative individuals tend to receive because they, like insanity, are the ones who feed off of opposition and negative feedback and manage to continue along with a healthy ambition. It is the crazy that teaches us to use our gifts wisely and own all the attackers. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Generally it appears the case that, when faced with all life's problems, the baby, he wants to cry about everything, the child wants to question everything, the teenager wants to rebel against everything, the young adult wants to solve everything, the middle-aged adult wants to protect everything, and the elder wants to accept everything. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

I am thankful when I am hungry because then I know that when I eat, the food will taste better. Life has taught me that my true contentment rests in hope, and the pleasure itself is secondary. It is self-awareness, not happiness, that maintains peace. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Man has 2 common problems with God: the one is that there is evil in the world; the other is that free will is limited. The one, he is charging that the world is too evil; the other is that it is not evil enough. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

A young outcast will often feel that there is something wrong with himself, but as he gets older, grows more confident in who he is, he will adapt, he will begin to feel that there is something wrong with everyone else. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

It starts off like climbing a tree or solving a puzzle - poetry, if nothing else, is just fun to write. But deeper into each and every piece, you no longer hesitate to call it work. It's passion. A poet's sense of lyrical accomplishment is then his food and water, his means of survival. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Competition works best in sports, but humans get addicted to stuff. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Darren Criss

I like orange and blue together, but I would never wear them. — Darren Criss

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

The manlier you are, the harder it is to understand what a woman wants: there is not a hint of female brain in you. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

In the end, only God can see the heart of an individual and distinguish the difference between legalistic deadweight and the passion of holy solemnity. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

The pain of the narcissist is that, to him, everything is really a threat. What doesn't surrender in reverence is blasphemous to a high opinion of oneself - the burden of self-importance. The narcissist reconstructs his own law of gravity which states that all things and all creatures must adhere to his personal satisfaction, but when they do not, the pain is far more intense than it is for one who is free from the clamors of 'I'. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

At first, they'll only dislike what you say, but the more correct you start sounding the more they'll dislike you. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Darren Criss

I've always loved fairytales, and I've loved the concept of, um, some of the best parts of a lot of stories are the beginning. — Darren Criss

Criss Quotes By Max Adler

I already committed Darren [Criss] to giving a song. — Max Adler

Criss Quotes By Jordan Castillo Price

My waking life probably gave my subconscious an inferiority complex. — Jordan Castillo Price

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Telling an introvert to go to a party is like telling a saint to go to Hell. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

You can be yourself without pursuing yourself. Have you ever seen a dog chase his own tail? He just runs in circles. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Philosophy may serve as the bridge between theology and science. All atheism is a philosophy, but not all philosophy is atheism. Philosophy ('love of wisdom') is simply a tool depending on how one uses it, and in some cases, logically understanding the nature of God and existence. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

A writer is one who communicates ideas and emotions people want to communicate but aren't quite sure how, or even if, they should communicate them. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

The reality of loving God is loving him like he's a Superhero who actually saved you from stuff rather than a Santa Claus who merely gave you some stuff. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Good works is giving to the poor and the helpless, but divine works is showing them their worth to the One who matters. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Angel

I had an amazing childhood, lots of love. But my dad worked his tail off, getting up at 4 in the morning and going off at 5, 6 o'clock, yet he always had time to spend with his kids and his wife. — Criss Angel

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

The emphasis and the reason for a pure humility is to result in love for others; not always necessarily the belittlement of self. When there is pride and self-righteousness and being pretentiously too far above, generally, one has a difficult time reaching the compassionate side of love for others, the side that understands (or at least attempts to understand): 'I am aware that I am not so far from falling in the same way.' Humility seeks to understand, and sometimes even relate; and in result, the love lovingly, properly, effectively wills the removal of the destructive sins of another as from oneself. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

I cannot encourage any fabrication even for the sake of making people feel good. If I were to fabricate consciously and knowingly, I would not only be ordaining myself their enemy, but also ordaining myself God's enemy. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Our enemies are quite good for relentlessly keeping us sharp and on our toes. This especially goes for sincere philosophers. They use their enemies to challenge their arguments so that they can know the weak points in their own reasoning and how to argue for and strengthen their position. There are just none like one's enemies to always look for his mistakes and do it harder than anyone else. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

With too much pride a man cannot learn a thing. In and of itself, learning teaches you how foolish you are. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

To love without need or without expectation of restitution, that is how we ought to love. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

When enemies, the intellect and the heart only see one another as the hater and the fool. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

When you meet someone, and you find that they are prejudiced against your kind, it might be your chance, not to confirm, but to be the one to finally change their mind. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Soar with wit. Conquer with dignity. Handle with care. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Angel

The magic kit we developed with Idea Village is an extraordinary success in 40,000 stores across America. The TV commercial we shot for it has produced amazing results - unbelievable. — Criss Angel

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

What is hard work? It takes strength, energy, and stress to truly care about others enough to place oneself last, but it is easy to wrap oneself up and selfishly scramble on the heads of others. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

As a poet there is something about joy I find hard to express, whereas every other emotion is rather simple. For instance, you never feel so bad that you can't describe how bad you feel, but joy on the other hand is far too divine for human language. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

The real test of love is loving those who we feel are the hardest ones to love. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

In an extroverted society, the difference between an introvert and an extrovert is that an introvert is often unconsciously deemed guilty until proven innocent. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

God is our final say in who and what's negative and who and what's positive in our lives. It is best not to have this so over-simplified as the illusioned superstitionists have it; an infinite being's tests may not always be so flowery, and the things we may see as positive are in many cases simply desires of our sinful nature. We are to protect our spirit without falling into the narcissistic mistake of trying to protect our selfish emotions, which the latter, in turn, is more than unlikely to bring peace and happiness. But rather guilt and emptiness. When one walks around constantly, in his mind, attempting to separate positive versus negative people, he is already controlled by something even worse than those he calls the 'negative people', and that is before he spots it soon enough to avoid it as he hypocritically tries to avoid them. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

I still believe that many Americans have a deep longing for that glorious moment when a sermon is more Biblical than American. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

The evangelist is the world's hopeless romantic, and just like a hopeless romantic, he must hope for the miracle of God more than the romance itself. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

To be truly positive in the eyes of some, you have to risk appearing negative in the eyes of others. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

The humble sinner will sometimes be interpreted as one of the filthiest in the eyes of man yet immersed in the eyes of God, and this is due to the volition of honesty regarding his own corruption. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

There are two circumstances that lead to arrogance: one is when you're wrong and you can't face it; the other is when you're right and nobody else can face it. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Growing up I often wondered how the world would be today if, since the beginning of human life, every person acted as I did. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Cleverness isn't always true nor is the truth always clever. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Darren Criss

I've been lucky enough to work with the amazing Golden Globe Award winning Chris Colfer and that is fantastic. I get to work with him on a day-to-day basis and he is such a generous talent. Chris and I like to play. He always throws me things and I ping them back to him and it's really fun. We definitely have a very lovely rapport personally - I think on screen too - and I hope you can see that in the characters. — Darren Criss

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

Good friends will allow you to be as innocent and free as a child when in private, and as wise and mature as an adult when in public. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

It is ironic that constructive thinkers are often misunderstood as negative, as they differ from those longing for positivity: constructive thinkers have been conditioned to find positive in negative rather than suffering from the negative in negative. Or as Paul the Apostle wrote, 'I have learned the secret to contentment in any and every circumstance.' He was right. Indeed the Lord is our strength, especially under the commandment to love one another. Otherwise we are nothing and easily thrown about by both our own and other people's mind control in a painful, mental, physical desperation to run from every thought, every thing, and every one not seeming so positive or immediately beneficial to us. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Criss Jami

It's much easier on the emotions when one sees life as an experiment rather than a struggle for popularity. — Criss Jami

Criss Quotes By Lydia Criss Mays

When so much is lost, heroes are found. — Lydia Criss Mays
