Catalogue Quotes

Lines on lists, archives, and the pleasure of cataloguing things.

This catalogue quotes collection opens with a playful preference for reading a time-table or catalogue over most novels, before turning to cataloguing near-Earth asteroids for science.

Quotes by Sophie Thompson

Quotes by Robert Del Naja

Great Quotes

Quotes by Peter Maurer

The lives of most authors - even, or perhaps especially, the great ones - are necessarily a catalogue of tedious inwardness and cloistered composition. Globe-trotting Hemingways and brawling Christopher Marlowes are the exception, not the rule.

Quotes by Paul Di Filippo

There are thousands of asteroids whose orbit in the Solar System crosses that of Earth. And we have a little acronym for them - NEOs: near Earth objects. And our biggest goal is to try to catalogue them, so we...

Quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson

Quotes by John Seabrook

When I was in middle school, some of my so-called friends found a catalogue ad I did for Superman pajamas. They made as many copies as they could and pasted them up all over school.

Quotes by Jensen Ackles

The Marvel catalogue of 9,000 characters really is that rich. It isn't just a bunch of guys running around with capes and cowls who have secret identities and fight across the street from each other.

Quotes by Jeph Loeb

The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins.

Quotes by Italo Calvino

Quotes by Daniel Caesar

Quotes by C. S. Forester

Sometimes, the songs that really affected me were not from the artist catalogue of their music, like the song 'Thunder Road' by Bruce Springsteen. I never got into any of his other music, but that song, to this day, is...

Quotes by Beth Hart

Look Quotes

'Sherlock' fans are, by and large, an intelligent breed, so they've gone through my back catalogue and got what I've done, why and how I've done it. There is some obsessive behaviour, but I worry for them rather than me.
