Quotes on wanting and having more.

These quotes explore the idea of 'more' - a director admitting to more confidence behind the camera than as a writer, and a novelist noting how fictional characters can carry more vitality than the people around them. Related pages include Life Quotes.

Quotes by Ben Nicholson

The earth only has so much bounty to offer and inventing ever larger and more notional prices for that bounty does not change its real value.

Quotes by Ben Elton

I loved writing 'Two Brothers' more than anything else I have written. It's the first book I've written that I've always known I wanted to write. Having said that, it also kept me awake at nights.

Quotes by Ben Elton

When I was a kid, I was mostly pretty sane. I've gotten more hypochondriacal.

Quotes by Ben Falcone

Quotes by Ben Fogle

Let's be honest, some people are better suited to exams than others in the same way that some of us are more sporty or arty.

Quotes by Ben Fogle

After Bush was elected in 2004 - please note that I didn't say 're-elected' - and I was walking around in my befuzzed state of confusion and low-grade depression, I set out more or systematically to read writers who'd grappled...

Quotes by Ben Fountain

For 'Narrow Stairs', the majority of the songs I brought in were guitar songs - songs we could sit in a room and just play. I can honestly say I had more fun and felt more inspired on this record...

Quotes by Ben Gibbard

I was literally just going and applying for jobs, and I couldn't get a job, and I was getting more and more broke, and you find yourself groveling for jobs you don't even want.

Quotes by Ben Gibbard

I think the narratives on 'Trans,' 'Plans,' and 'Narrow Stairs' moved away from the way I wrote on the first couple of records, which was a lot more impressionistic. I was writing those songs in my early 20s, so I...

Quotes by Ben Gibbard

I love San Francisco more than any other city outside of Seattle, but I've seen it go from a vibrant, creative community to a playground for tech bros.

Quotes by Ben Gibbard

Quotes by Ben Gibbard

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.
