Some Quotes

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this "Some" quotes page cover?
These quotes use the word "some" while touching on a mix of subjects, from a filmmaker's approach to keeping projects "responsible and manageable" to a comedian describing college years spent living with Harvard MD/PhD students.

Is there a quote here about history or politics?
Yes. One quote mentions the 1962 war between India and China over disputed terrain, noting that India "got hurt by that." It's presented as a brief historical reference rather than a full account of the conflict.
Are there any quotes about comedy or humor on this page?
A couple of them touch on comedy indirectly - one speaker talks about being sent unsolicited material and rarely buying jokes, while another describes discovering they were "the funny one" while living with a group of serious academic housemates. If you enjoy that kind of light, self-deprecating humor, the Good page has more in that spirit.
Do any of these quotes relate to filmmaking?
Yes, one quote reflects on how keeping a production "responsible and manageable" can open the door to making "interesting movies that you maybe couldn't make otherwise" - a nod to creative constraints shaping better work. For more on ambition and craft, browse the Great page.
Why are these particular quotes grouped together?
They're grouped simply because each one includes the word "some" somewhere in the line - whether it's "some of the disputed terrain," "some interesting movies," "some people," or "some Harvard MD/PhD students." The topics themselves range widely, from geopolitics to personal history. For more general reflections, the Always page is worth a look.

Because "some" is such a common qualifier, the range here is genuinely wide — comedy writers, actors, and directors all use it to hedge, soften, or specify. For quotes with a punchier, more declarative tone, browse Great quotes, or check Like quotes for comparisons and preferences.
