Forte is French ... for blanket fort. — Buddy Wakefield

Forte Quotes By Gilbere Forte

Forte Quotes By Haruki Murakami

I don't know what kind of life you had, what sorts of joys and sorrows you experienced. But even if there was something that left you unfulfilled, you can't go around seeking it at other people's doors. Even if it is at the place you're most familiar with, and the sort of act that is your forte. — Haruki Murakami

Forte Quotes By Oscar Nunez

Yeah, I just don't break. I don't. And there's only one person I know who's a better non-breaker than me, and that's Will Forte from 'SNL.' You can not make that guy break. I'll break eventually - Will Forte will never break. — Oscar Nunez

Forte Quotes By Andre Gide

The young people who come to me in the hope of hearing me utter a few memorable maxims are quite disappointed. Aphorisms are not my forte, I say nothing but banalities ... I listen to them and they go away delighted. — Andre Gide

Forte Quotes By Alan Cumming

Pantomime is a big thing in the cultural calendar of my country, you know. So subtlety's not my forte. — Alan Cumming

Forte Quotes By Ursula K. Le Guin

If you have to find devices to coax yourself to stay focused on writing, perhaps you should not be writing what you're writing. And if this lack of motivation is a constant problem, perhaps writing is not your forte. I mean, what is the problem? If writing bores you, that is pretty fatal. If that is not the case, but you find that it is hard going and it just doesn't flow, well, what did you expect? It is work; art is work. — Ursula K. Le Guin

Forte Quotes By Allen Toussaint

I never planned on being a live performer. My whole forte was about being in the studio, producing, playing the piano on recording sessions. I was all about the studio. — Allen Toussaint

Forte Quotes By Joseph Gordon-Levitt

I'm definitely not a science nerd, I'll say that. That was not my forte at school. — Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Forte Quotes By Joey W. Hill

There are twenty-five thousand, six hundred and twelve things you don't know about me. I'll tell you one each day."

"That means it will take you seventy-plus years to know everything about me. When I turn one hundred, that will be the last one. Though I expect by then you'll know the very first and very last thing you need to know about me, the only one that matters." ~ Jon ForteJoey W. Hill

Forte Quotes By James Luceno

Time and again the two Jedi Knights attempted to alter their style, but Vader had an answer for every lunge, parry, and riposte. His style borrowed elements from all techniques of combat, even from the highest, most dangerous levels, and his moves were crisp and unpredictable. In addition, his remarkable foresight allowed him to anticipate Forte's and Kulka's strategies and maneuvers, his blade always one step ahead of theirs, notwithstanding the two-handed grip he employed. — James Luceno

Forte Quotes By Leonor Varela

I'm not good with limitations. I tend to like to find my own. It hurts sometimes, but it's good. I'm little extreme in that sense - the middle ground is not my forte. — Leonor Varela

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

Bruce [Dern] and I are in this car just for days and days, just talking about life and I could listen to his stories forever. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Kevin Drew

There was this wonderful day where we sat and listened to all of Andy's [Kim] songs throughout the years, and I think we spent around six hours at my house, and then we played all these tunes of mine that have never found any version. And "Heaven Without a Gun" is one of them, and it struck him. If you can find a compadre who doesn't live in the literal world 'cos you're not always fighting to explain yourself to make sense, that maybe it's the dyslexia, maybe it's the dreamer, maybe it's the idea that grammar was not your foreplay - excuse me - see what I mean, your forte. — Kevin Drew

Forte Quotes By Maria V. Snyder

Knife fighting was his forte, but he wouldn't have time to have a proper match. Pity. — Maria V. Snyder

Forte Quotes By Bill Wyman

I'm not an upfront person. Being upfront is not my forte. I'm quite happy to stay in the back there with the drums, where I belong. — Bill Wyman

Forte Quotes By Skitch Henderson

That was probably the stamp that went into my mind, because I worked in television for many years, doing that kind of music, so that really was my strong forte. — Skitch Henderson

Forte Quotes By Stacey D'Erasmo

Emotional grandeur, rendered in the vernacular, has been Mona Simpson's forte. In her novels, 'Anywhere but Here,' 'The Lost Father' and 'A Regular Guy,' Simpson wrote wide and long and high about the most profound human bonds: parents and children lost each other, found each other, lost each other again, but differently. — Stacey D'Erasmo

Forte Quotes By Satyajit Ray

Cinema's characteristic forte is its ability to capture and communicate the intimacies of the human mind. — Satyajit Ray

Forte Quotes By Donnie Yen

For me, I like to have explosive moments, whether it is a particular movement itself in the whole sequence. I like to have shocking moments; for audiences to feel, like, 'Whoa!' It's always been my forte. — Donnie Yen

Forte Quotes By Mary Abshire

There are details about your life I really do not want to know about. You told me he taught you how to fight with weapons, but I guess I never ... "
"Put two and two together?" Katie grinned. "That's not like you, detective Jules."
"I know. I guess I overlooked the gory details. Blood and guts have never been my forte. I like action. Give me Mission Impossible and CSI, but leave out the gruesome details."
They stopped upon reaching the entrance to the barn. "Roller skating disco lover turns FBI crime scene investigator. I think there's a book waiting to be written for you. — Mary Abshire

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Cristin Milioti

I've auditioned for musicals a lot, but I think my voice didn't really match what they were looking for. I went to school for musical theater for a year and dropped out. Legit musicals are not quite my forte. — Cristin Milioti

Forte Quotes By Charlotte Bronte

Know, that in the course of your future life you will often find yourself elected the involuntary confidant of your acquaintances' secrets: people will instinctively find out, as I have done, that it is not your forte to tell of yourself, but to listen while others talk of themselves; they will feel, too, that you listen with no malevolent scorn of their indiscretion, but with a kind of innate sympathy; not the less comforting and encouraging because it is very unobtrusive in its manifestations." "How — Charlotte Bronte

Forte Quotes By Charlotte Bronte

Do you wonder that I avow this to you? Know, that in the course of your future life you will often find yourself elected the involuntary confidant of your acquaintances' secrets: people will instinctively find out, as I have done, that it is not your forte to tell of yourself, but to listen while others talk of themselves; they will feel, too, that you listen with no malevolent scorn of their indiscretion, but with a kind of innate sympathy; not the less comforting and encouraging because it is very unobtrusive in its manifestations."
"How do you know?
how can you guess all this, sir?"
"I know it well; therefore I proceed almost as freely as if I were writing my thoughts in a diary. — Charlotte Bronte

Forte Quotes By Dorothy Dunnett

Tant que je vive, mon cueur ne changera
Pour nulle vivante, tant soit elle bonne ou sage
Forte et puissante, riche de hault lignaige
Mon chois est fait, aultrene se fera
***
Long as I live, my heart will never vary
For no one else, however fair or good
Brave, resolute, or rich, of gentle blood
My choice is made, and I will have no other. — Dorothy Dunnett

Forte Quotes By Jacques Barzun

The feeble clavichord did not carry far; the harpsichord was only a little stronger; but Cristofori in Italy was working at these defects; he built a machine he called clavicembalo piano e forte - a keyboard instrument to play "soft and loud." Contrary to all experience, we now call it simply "a soft. — Jacques Barzun

Forte Quotes By Sherrilyn Kenyon

How many demons and people are enslaved here? (Jericho)
Define slavery. (Asmodeus)
Kept against their will. (Jericho)
Good definition. Counting me? (Asmodeus)
Why not? (Jericho)
Probably a couple of million ... you know it's really hard to count to a million, plus they're always dying and new ones are coming in. I tried to count once, but it got really depressing so I stopped. The constant adding and subtracting. Not my forte, really. (Asmodeus) — Sherrilyn Kenyon

Forte Quotes By Peter Uihlein

Forte Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson

A forte always makes a foible. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

I think the advantage we had with "MacGruber" is the speed we had to put it together. We had a such a short period to write the movie and such a post-[production] period, it was almost like the way that the show worked, where everything is happening so fast you have to go with your gut. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Buffalo Bill

My great forte in killing buffaloes was to get them circling by riding my horse at the head of the herd and shooting their leaders. Thus the brutes behind were crowded to the left, so that they were soon going round and round. — Buffalo Bill

Forte Quotes By Boris Spassky

My forte was the middlegame. I had a good feeling for the critical moments of the play. This undoubtedly compensated for my lack of opening preparation and, possibly, not altogether perfect play in the endgame. In my games things often did not reach the endgame! — Boris Spassky

Forte Quotes By Alex Rosa

Are women literal creatures? I have to admit this is not my forte. — Alex Rosa

Forte Quotes By Sydney Smith

Science is his forte, and omniscience his foible. — Sydney Smith

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

There's really no wrong way to use a margarita pool. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Will Durant

In summary, the typical educated Roman of this age was orderly, conservative, loyal, sober, reverent, tenacious, severe, practical. He enjoyed discipline, and would have no nonsense about liberty. He obeyed as a training for command. He took it for granted that the government had a right to inquire into his morals as well as his income, and to value him purely according to his services to the state. He distrusted individuality and genius. He had none of the charm, vivacity, and unstable fluency of the Attic Greek. He admired character and will as the Greek admired freedom and intellect; and organization was his forte. He lacked imagination, even to make a mythology of his own. He could with some effort love beauty, but he could seldom create it. He had no use for pure science, and was suspicious of philosophy as a devilish dissolvent of ancient beliefs and ways. He could not, for the life of him, understand Plato, or Archimedes, or Christ. He could only rule the world. — Will Durant

Forte Quotes By Heather James

Well, most people would have said 'thank you' after they'd been given help, and then I would have responded to that with 'you're welcome'. I figured we'd skip straight to my part since social graces aren't your forte. — Heather James

Forte Quotes By Sarah Alderson

So we have twenty-four hours to keep out of trouble,' he says to me.
I slide a glance in his direction. Judging from the way he's now grimacing at the sidewalk and the fact that I met him in a police station where he was being booked for stealing a car, I'm guessing that staying out of trouble is not his forte. — Sarah Alderson

Forte Quotes By Shannon A. Thompson

It's going to be okay, Eric," Urte said, helping me sit up.
I shook my head. "Lying is my forte, Urte, not yours." (Eric.) — Shannon A. Thompson

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

I'm a very bad impersonator so I can't even remember if I've ever done a sports person. I mean, I think I was Bruce Jenner once but I don't think I said anything in the sketch I was just sitting there in a like a bronze track suit. No dialogue. They don't trust me with dialogue. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Iggy Azalea

I've never heard a man in a suit tell me what to wear; that's not their forte. You hire your stylist; whatever someone's image is as an artist is what they've chosen to portray. — Iggy Azalea

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

We all grew up in that era. I'm a little younger than these guys [Will Forte and John Solomon], but I would say all of us are huge fans of the original "MacGyver" series, and obviously we found that inspiration for the original pitch for MacGruber. We took his name and made it stupid. In terms of the inspiration for the movie, that really came from our love for late '80s/early '90s action movies - the whole "Lethal Weapon" series and "Rambo" and "Die Hard," every single [Arnold] Schwarzenegger and [Sylvester] Stallone film. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Lee Van Cleef

I'd like to do more comedy, but i think my forte is still in the heavy. I'd love to do a comic lead, a musical. — Lee Van Cleef

Forte Quotes By Kaley Cuoco

I'm a 'Bridesmaids' type of girl. I love silliness. That's who I am at heart, and I know I can do it. If my career path takes me elsewhere, that's great. But comedy is my forte. — Kaley Cuoco

Forte Quotes By George Perle

I would not want you to suppose that my rejection of Allen Forte's theory of pitch-class sets implies a rejection of the notion that there can be such a thing as a pitch-class set. It is only when one defines everything in terms of pitch-class sets that the concept becomes meaningless. — George Perle

Forte Quotes By Rachael Taylor

I definitely wouldn't shy away from doing another action based project, but I feel like my forte is more like playing real, ordinary people. I'm a girl's girl. — Rachael Taylor

Forte Quotes By Michael Forte

Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get you to pay attention. — Michael Forte

Forte Quotes By John Cho

I try to be personal, but that's not me, either. What seems to work best, and the tweets I enjoy reading the most, are when comedians just give jokes. It's a great joke of the day thing, especially revolving around current events. But that's not my forte either, so I find myself in no man's land with Twitter. I don't particularly enjoy giving me out to everyone. — John Cho

Forte Quotes By Jerry Garcia

Hunter can write a melody and stuff like that, but his forte is lyrics. He can write a serviceable melody to hang his lyrics on, and sometimes he comes up with something really nice. — Jerry Garcia

Forte Quotes By Plautus

Who wishes to give himself an abundance of business let him equip these two things, a ship and a woman. For no two things involve more business, if you have begun to fit them out. Nor are these two things ever sufficiently adorned, nor is any excess of adornment enough for them.
[Lat., Negotii sibi qui volet vim parare,
Navem et mulierem, haec duo comparato.
Nam nullae magis res duae plus negotii
Habent, forte si occeperis exornare.
Neque unquam satis hae duae res ornantur,
Neque eis ulla ornandi satis satietas est.] — Plautus

Forte Quotes By Vernon L. Smith

Forte Quotes By LeCrae

Acting and theatrics are my forte. — LeCrae

Forte Quotes By Jennifer Lynn Barnes

I mean, technically, he wasn't fired," Emilia clarified. "He was reassigned. But precision of language has never been the gossip mill's forte, and I guess anything's a pretty big step down after the White House. — Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Forte Quotes By Ellie Goulding

Cover versions, that's my forte, that's all I ever used to do. When you play your own songs, it's quite scary, 'cause I'm quite honest and open, they can be very revealing. But covers, I don't have to think about, just get me up there! — Ellie Goulding

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

When certain people hear "'SNL' comedy," rightfully so, you expect it to be a certain kind of goofiness. — Will Forte

I'm most interested in finding the strangeness and irony in reality. That's my forte. — Mary Ellen Mark

Forte Quotes By Sherrilyn Kenyon

Vincent Forte was kicked out of the UFC because he was too hardcore. — Paul Scheer

Forte Quotes By Oscar Wilde

any one can play accurately
but I play with wonderful expression. As far as the piano is concerned, sentiment is my forte. I keep science for Life. — Oscar Wilde

Forte Quotes By Cate Rowan

After a night filled with cricket chirps - which were less annoying than she'd thought, because they'd reminded her of girl scout camping trips when she and her sister had been younger - the next morning brought her to something she'd been dreading: it was time to feed the frog. She didn't particularly want to be an accomplice to cricket murder, but neither could she let the frog go hungry. The situation wasn't fair to the crickets or to the frog. Or, really, to her. Ugh, matters of life and death were not her forte. — Cate Rowan

Forte Quotes By Don King

I dare to be great. The man without imagination stands unhurt and hath no wings. This is my credo, this is my forte. — Don King

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

I am a huge sports fan and spend a lot of my time away from work watching sports, going to sporting events, stuff like that. So it is a big thrill to see these people who I have so much respect for and to find out that they're all really fun, super-nice people. It's very exciting. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

Different scenes call for different acting styles. The kinds of scenes I like most are the ones where you just bury yourself in there. So I wouldn't say that's the only way to be funny, but that's my favorite way to play stuff, to try to put myself in a situation where that kind of acting is necessary. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Oscar Wilde

Algernon. The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility! Jack. That wouldn't be at all a bad thing. Algernon. Literary criticism is not your forte, my dear fellow. Don't try it. You should leave that to people who haven't been at a University. They do it so well in the daily papers. — Oscar Wilde

Forte Quotes By Leon Forte

A person can be miserable in a mansion and happy in a shack."

"Money will not buy happiness. It's merly the lack of it that can cause much of our misery. — Leon Forte

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

My life is littered with bad decisions. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

When I was a kid watching "The Blues Brothers," I could not think of a better thing than watching 300 cop cars crash into each other. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Jim Brown

I came from Long Island, so I had a lot of experience at the stick. I played in junior high school, then I played in high school. The technical aspect of the game was my forte. I had all that experience, then I had strength and I was in good condition. — Jim Brown

Forte Quotes By Barbara Forte Abate

there are times when simply looking at him breaks her heart. Not in a sad way. It's the other kind of heartbreak. The kind that clenches the insides upon discovery of something particularly beautiful or altogether implausible. — Barbara Forte Abate

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

I'm kind of under the radar. Not a lot of people notice me. Which is surprising, because I'm so sexy. They're probably intimidated by my sexiness and crushability. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

You can do anything to my food and I'll still eat it. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Marius Forte

This place has struggles, triumphs, failures, and true joy, because happiness must be earned to be appreciated. This is a world that makes perfect sense. Justice reigns, and compassion is the most gracious virtue. This isn't the world that Lennon misguidedly envisioned in his beautiful song. His world was without consequences. On the surface, that might seem like the best solution, but if you follow the logic of it, his was an imagined world of pointless apathy. It was a world at peace, but remember, peace can only be valued in light of chaos. Without any defining commotion, without comparison, peace ceases to exist. Lennon dreamed of no greed or hunger. No wants or desires. In his imaginary world, there was nothing to live for or die for. There was nothing to fight for. Every one walked around with frontal lobotomies. — Marius Forte

Forte Quotes By Tony Fadell

I knew a lot about product design before coming to Apple, but I didn't understand a lot about consumer experience design, which is really Apple's forte. — Tony Fadell

Forte Quotes By Frederic Chopin

Kalkbrenner has made me an offer; that I should study with him for three years, and he will make something really - really out of me. I answered that I know how much I lack; but that I cannot exploit him, and three years is too much. But he has convinced me that I can play admirably when I am in the mood, and badly when I am not; a thing which never happens to him. After close examination he told me that I have no school; that I am on an excellent road, but can slip off the track. That after his death, or when he finally stops playing, there will be no representative of the great piano-forte school. That even if I wish it, I cannot build up a new school without knowing the old one; in a word : that I am not a perfected machine, and that this hampers the flow of my thoughts. That I have a mark in composition; that it would be a pity not to become what I have the promise of being ... — Frederic Chopin

Forte Quotes By Lorna Jane Cook

Containment was her forte and also her armor. — Lorna Jane Cook

Forte Quotes By DJ Quik

My forte is the music. But obviously if ya don't keep up with the business, then your kinda doing it for nothing. So I do plan on being well off doing, maximizing what I do now. I heard Jimmy Kimmel describe being in your thirties in hip-hop is like the equivalent to being 300 yrs. old; almost like a dinosaur. — DJ Quik

Forte Quotes By Fredrika Bremer

I have not, in general, much belief in the ability of woman as a creative artist. Unwritten lyrics, as [Ralph Waldo] Emerson said once when we conversed on this subject, should be her forte. — Fredrika Bremer

Forte Quotes By Zach Galifianakis

My forte is awkwardness. — Zach Galifianakis

Forte Quotes By Gini Koch

Psychos and megalomaniacs are my forte, remember? They all wanna hang with me — Gini Koch

Forte Quotes By Torquato Tasso

They make their fortune who are stout and wise,
Wit rules the heavens, discretion guides the skies.
[Lat., Che sovente addivien che'l saggio e'l forte.
Fabro a se stesso e di beata sorte.] — Torquato Tasso

Forte Quotes By Will Forte

I feel like all my faults go into making the person that I am. I like myself as a person. And I think taking any fault away would change who I am as a person. — Will Forte

Forte Quotes By Rob Thomas

Honestly I'm glad. Cases where stupid people do stupid things are really more my forte. Like this guy." He picked up a folder from the mess on his desk. "He updated his Facebook account from inside a house he was robbing. Classic Cliff McCormack material. I'll leave the murderers to someone who knows what he's doing. — Rob Thomas

Forte Quotes By Johnny Vegas

My forte is playing drunks down the ages. When my agent rings me about a role, I don't ask what the part is, but what century it's in. — Johnny Vegas

Forte Quotes By Robert Sheckley

Action isn't my forte. I'm an expert on contemplation and mild regret. — Robert Sheckley

Forte Quotes By D.H. Lawrence

She was always waiting, it seemed to be her forte. — D.H. Lawrence
