| James Thurber |  With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
James Thurber |
| Janet Flanner | I keep going over a sentence. I nag it, gnaw it, pat and flatter it.
Janet Flanner |
| Jean Baudrillard | Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly.
Jean Baudrillard |
| Jean Baudrillard | Never resist a sentence you like, in which language takes its own pleasure and in which, after having abused it for so long, you are stupefied by its innocence.
Jean Baudrillard |
| Jean Rostand | I still understand a few words in life, but I no longer think they make a sentence.
Jean Rostand |
| Jeanette Winterson | My books always begin with a sentence and an image - not necessarily connected.
Jeanette Winterson |
| Jeff Greenfield | These people have served a longer sentence than some people who have committed murder.
Jeff Greenfield |
| Jessica Simpson | I would love for the time to come where somebody can talk about me and not have to talk about Britney and Christina in the same sentence.
Jessica Simpson |
| Jim Bakker | I write about it in the book and, you know, explain that. But that was the technicality that actually got my sentence reduced - that Alan Dershowitz used to have my sentence - it came down eventually to eight years.
Jim Bakker |
| Jim Elliot | Most laws condemn the soul and pronounce sentence. The result of the law of my God is perfect. It condemns but forgives. It restores - more than abundantly - what it takes away.
Jim Elliot |
| Joan Blades | We put together a one-sentence petition asking Congress to censure President Clinton and move on to other pressing issues. We sent it to under 100 friends and family, and within a week we had 100,000 people sign the petition.
Joan Blades |
| Jock Sturges | I found myself serving a sentence of public denial from the very second the raid on my apartment happened.
Jock Sturges |
| John Irving | And I don't want to begin something, I don't want to write that first sentence until all the important connections in the novel are known to me. As if the story has already taken place, and it's my responsibility to put it in the right order to tell it to you.
John Irving |
| John Jakes | Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.
John Jakes |
| John McGahern | The rosary was said every evening. I always liked that sentence about the medieval Churches, that they were the Bibles of the poor. The Church was my first book and I would think it is still my most important book.
John McGahern |
| journalist | A Tunisian journalist critical of the country's leader loses his appeal against a controversial six-month prison sentence. |
| Julian Clary | I get just as much of a thrill out of constructing a good sentence that gets a laugh at the end as I do from a joke.
Julian Clary |
| Julius Rosenberg | This death sentence is not surprising. It had to be.
Julius Rosenberg |
| Julius Streicher | There must be a punitive expedition against the Jews in Russia, a punitive expedition which will expect: death sentence and execution. Then the world will see the end of the Jews is also the end of Bolshevism.
Julius Streicher |
| Karl Marx | The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.
Karl Marx |
