Quotes on wanting and having more.

Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.

Helen Keller

As I've got older, I feel more confident in my body, so wouldn't want to tamper with it.

Quotes by Helen McCrory

Literature is reflecting what is happening in life. More and more women are having relationships with younger men. It's partly that women are not losing their figures now.

Quotes by Helen McCrory

I've become more confident as I have got older. I care less what others think.

Quotes by Helen McCrory

I used to say that theatre was my favourite thing. But the more I do film, the more I appreciate it.

Quotes by Helen McCrory

I was never a left-winger, actually. I was a pretend left-winger because it was more interesting than being a right-winger.

Quotes by Helen Mirren

Sometimes nudity is sexy. Sometimes it's not. Sometimes being clothed is more sexy than being nude.

Quotes by Helen Mirren

I do tend to feel more connected to dead writers, perhaps because they have finished their work.

Quotes by Helen Oyeyemi

I think women let themselves be burdened by failures much more than men do. They agonize - and I do it a lot, too - and rethink them.

Quotes by Heidi Roizen

Golf is just for fun. I have no time to be a pro golfer, not even after F1. I think it's too late and I'm too old to learn now. Golf is just a hobby and maybe I can improve...

Quotes by Heikki Kovalainen

I long for the time of no more departures. It has something to do with age, probably.

Quotes by Heinrich Boll

There are more fools in the world than there are people.

Quotes by Heinz R. Pagels

Quotes by Helen Clark

Quotes by Helen Clark

Quotes by Helen Clark

Quotes by Helen Dunmore

If we understand the past, we are more likely to recognise what is happening around us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes are on the "More" page?
These are quotes about degree and comparison — someone admitting they have more confidence as a director than as a writer, a reflection on being "more like that" (exclusive, echo-chamber thinking) in their early twenties, and an appreciation for how horror films need a little more craft than people give them credit for.
Is this page about self-comparison?
Largely, yes — several of these quotes involve comparing one part of yourself to another, like confidence in one skill versus another, or how you've changed since your twenties. Me quotes covers similar self-reflective ground.
Is there a quote here about creative work?
Yes — the ones about directing versus writing, and about films like 'Friday the 13th' needing more craft than they get credit for, both touch on creative work and how it's judged.
How does "More" differ from <a href="/like-quotes">Like</a> quotes?
"Like" is about preference and similarity, while "More" is specifically about comparison and degree — doing something more than, or being more of, something else.
What if I want quotes about consistency instead of comparison?
Try Always quotes for that angle, or Life quotes for something broader.

Other lines touch on needing a little more of something, whether it's craft in filmmaking or personal growth over time. Continue with Like Quotes or Me Quotes.
