Ming Quotes By Frank Miller

You do Batman right, and he's going to be popular. He's a great character. I was once asked by somebody if writing 'Batman' was like holding a Ming vase or something.

Ming Quotes By Ming-Dao Deng

Only when peace lives within each of us, will it live outside of us. We must be the wombs for a new harmony. When it is small, peace is fragile. Like a baby, it needs nurturing attention. We must protect peace from violence and perversion if it is to grow. We must be strong to do this. But force, even in the name of honor, is always tragic. Instead, we must use the strength of wisdom and conscience. Only that power can nurture peace in this difficult time. — Ming-Dao Deng

Ming Quotes By David Mitchell

Dreamt I stood in a china shop so crowded from floor to far-off ceiling with shelves of porcelain antiques, etc. that moving a muscle would cause several to fall and smash to bits. Exactly what happened but instead of a crashing noise, an august chord rang out, half cello, half celeste, D major (?), held for four beats. My wrist knocked a Ming vase affair off its pedestal-E flat. Whole string section, glorious, transcendant, angels wept. Deliberately now, smashed a figurine of an ox for the next note, then a milkmaid, then Saturday's Child-orgy of shrapnel filled the air, divine harmonies my head. — David Mitchell

Ming Quotes By Ming Cher

Coincidence sometimes happens as in a fairy tale. Wong was in an emotional state of mind. Still smoking opium, he thought about Kwang's long-dead father, who had arrived in Singapore from Amoy on the junk Nam Hong. The opium den now felt bare and lonely without all the old vibrations. It was also dark and damp and the small kerosene lamp was running low on fuel. Wong added more kerosene and mumbled to himself, "Tonight I am going to smoke my way to heaven! — Ming Cher

Ming Quotes By Luke 'Ming' Flanagan

People make a decision on what they take based on whether or not it's legal. We give people at the age of 18 a choice to use alcohol, which is more harmful than cannabis.

If people end up using cannabis instead of alcohol, that would obviously be a good thing. — Luke 'Ming' Flanagan

Ming Quotes By Dikembe Mutombo

My good friend Yao Ming was the first big player in the NBA to come from China. He gave himself to the game and was successful.

Ming Quotes By Neal Stephenson

He has reverted, in other words, back into a pure balls-to-the-wall nerdism rivaled only by his early game-coding days back in Seattle. The sheer depth and involution of the current nerdism binge would be hard to convey to anyone. Intellectually, he is juggling half a dozen lit torches, Ming vases, live puppies, and running chainsaws. In this frame of mind he cannot bring himself to give a shit about the fact that this incredibly powerful billionaire has gone to a lot of trouble to come and F2F with him. — Neal Stephenson

Ming Quotes By Ming-Na Wen

Ming Quotes By Ming Cher

Former spider boys came from all walks of life - they ranged from homeless street kids and school dropouts to decent kids, but the best ones were those who had gone anywhere and everywhere to search out and capture their fighting spiders; they even ventured into dangerous bushes infested with black mambas. These boys were risk-takers and crowd-pullers, always on the move, always looking for worthy opponents with which to fight their spiders. — Ming Cher

Ming Quotes By Hsin Hsin Ming

When love and hate are both absent, everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the slightest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth, then hold no opinions for or against anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind. — Hsin Hsin Ming

Ming Quotes By Ming-Na Wen

That's what was so amazing about 'Mulan.' Here is this story with all Chinese characters, and yet so many people related to her character and loved the story. So I really think as long as you have a good story that relates to a lot of people, it doesn't matter what ethnicity it is. — Ming-Na Wen

Loud, heap miseries upon us yet entwine our arts with laughter low! — James Joyce

Ming Quotes By Yao Ming

I don't know who first said it, but this proverb is something I believe: A lion leading a lot of sheep can defeat a sheep leading many lions. The important part is that I must decide when I am a lion and when I must be a sheep. I don't believe you are always one or the other. — Yao Ming

Ming Quotes By Kuang-Ming Wu

We come to enjoy ourselves in it, come what may. And in doing so we add meaning of our own, proving ourselves to be life's creative participants. We discern and live, thereby enhance life.

That's where my family lived for 600, 700 years. — I.M. Pei

Ming Quotes By Yao Ming

Ming Quotes By Deng Ming-Dao

The traditional family table is round. No corners. No sides. No head. No tail. Everything is smooth. The food is in the center, and each family member reaches over the same distance. Someone you love is next to you on each side, and no one is last or at the end. The person farthest away from you is also the person facing you. — Deng Ming-Dao

Ming Quotes By Okakura Kakuzo

Translation is always a treason, and as a Ming author observes, can at its best be only the reverse side of a brocade- all the threads are there, but not the subtlety of colour or design. — Okakura Kakuzo

Ming Quotes By Yao Ming

When the buying stops, the killing can too. — Yao Ming

Ming Quotes By Alexandra Ivy

Even if there was such a thing as a half-price sale at the local Ming outlet shop, she would have to work ten lifetimes to make up such a sum. Always supposing that it wasn't one of a kind.
Panic was no longer merely rearing. It was thundering through her at full throttle.
There was only one thing to be done, she realized. The mature, responsible, adult thing to do.
Hide the evidence. — Alexandra Ivy

Ming Quotes By Ming-Na Wen

I'm like Madonna: I'm Ming-Na. Just my first and middle name. That's it. Pure and simple. — Ming-Na Wen

Ming Quotes By Wesley Chu

I was being chase by half a dozen guys at the time. Didn't have time to stop and admire the craftsmanship. There was a Ming vase there?

Ah, good times. — Wesley Chu

Ming Quotes By Wu Ming-Yi

Recently I keep thinking that this isn't about the survival of a species. It's about why we're never satisfied with what we need, why we always take a bit more. — Wu Ming-Yi

Ming Quotes By Arne Glimcher

The conceptual artist Ai WeiWei illustrates the schizoid society that rapid change has produced - sometimes by reassembling Ming-style furniture into absurd and useless arrangements, or by carefully painting and antiquing a Coca-Cola logo on an ancient Chinese pot. — Arne Glimcher

Ming Quotes By Ming-Dao Deng

A moving door hinge never corrodes. Flowing water never grows stagnant. — Ming-Dao Deng

Ming Quotes By Ming-Dao Deng

The idea that each of us can be directly spiritual is radical. Most religions are based not on teaching adherents to be directly spiritual, but in persuading them to trust in the intercession of ministers or priests. The problem with this approach is that we cannot gain access to spirituality except through the medium of a fallible human being. If we want to see Tao, we need only open our eyes and trust what we see. — Ming-Dao Deng

Ming Quotes By Ming-Dao Deng

By being receptive, we can avail ourselves of the spiritual wealth available to us. By being open, we can receive things beyond what we ourselves might imagine. — Ming-Dao Deng

Ming Quotes By Yao Ming

Ming Quotes By Ming Cher

Among the wartime survivors was a four-year-old Makassan girl with a large mole dangling like a pigeon egg under her left eye, who was looking for her lost parents. She was picked up by a brothel woman, but later ran away to live among street boys left homeless by the war.

They gave her the nickname Big Mole. — Ming Cher

Ming Quotes By Yao Ming

It will take time to adapt, but I think I can handle it. — Yao Ming

Ming Quotes By Madeleine Thien

Many nights, Ai-ming said, ignoring my question, her father's music pulled her from sleep. Sparrow, she slowly pieced together, had been one of Shanghai's most renowned composers. But after the Conservatory was shut down in 1966 and all five hundred of its pianos destroyed, Sparrow worked in a factory making wooden crates, then wire, and then radios, for two decades. Ai-ming heard him humming fragments of music when he thought no one was listening. Eventually she came to understand that these fragments were all that remained of his own symphonies, quartets and other musical works. The written copies had been destroyed. — Madeleine Thien

Ming Quotes By Ming-Dao Deng

It is said that if one chooses to pray to a rock with enough devotion, even that rock will come alive. — Ming-Dao Deng

Ming Quotes By Ming-Dao Deng

The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished. — Ming-Dao Deng

Ming Quotes By Yao Ming

Sometimes it can feel like there are a billion people on my shoulders. — Yao Ming

Ming Quotes By Ming-Dao Deng

We may be floating on Tao, but there is nothing wrong with steering. If Tao is like a river, it is certainly good to know where the rocks are. — Ming-Dao Deng

Ming Quotes By Shaquille O'Neal

I play against a front and a back every night, Ming does not have to do that, Duncan does not have to do that, Garnett doesn't do that. I am the only one that has to do that. — Shaquille O'Neal

Ming Quotes By Ellen Read

Time meant nothing.
She loved him in an instant.
She would love him forever. — Ellen Read
