"By deafness one gains in one respect more than one loses; one misses more nonsense than sense." ― Horace Walpole Topic(s): Respect More From Horace Walpole "Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn’t. A sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is." "The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well." "Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations." More In Respect "I wanted to be a decorator. I wanted to interior design homes and do everything myself."― Ursula Andress "More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic."― Simone Weil "Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized."― Albert Einstein
