little

I like poems that are little games.

Fiction is supposed to be immersive and supposed to be entertaining and narrative, so structures have to be buried a little bit. If they come foregrounded too much, it stops being fiction and starts being poetry - something more concrete and out of time.

Anticipating that most poetry will be worse than carrying heavy luggage through O'Hare Airport, the public, to its loss, reads very little of it.

Personally I always feel like I could use a little more of poetry apothegmatic power in my own work but we're always lacking something.

Pound's translation of Chinese poetry was maybe the most important thing I read. Eliot a little bit later.

The fame of heroes owes little to the extent of their conquests and all to the success of the tributes paid to them.

Success is little more than a chemical compound of man with moment.

Nothing succeeds like success. Get a little success, and then just get a little more.

I'm not a romantic lead. I have sticking-out ears and a little troll nose.

I was doing a Broadway musical called 'Smile' with Howard Ashman and Marvin Hamlisch in 1984/5 when it abruptly closed. Howard was in the middle of pre-production for 'The Little Mermaid,' so he kindly invited all the girls in our cast to audition for the film.

I still don't love the darkness, though I've learned to smile in it a little bit, now and then.

When I was a little kid, we only knew about our nine planets. Since then, we've downgraded Pluto but have discovered that other solar systems and stars are common. So life is probably quite prevalent.

A little credulity helps one on through life very smoothly.

I feel like a little kid who just walked into a candy store. I think that's something to smile about.

But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs, I've been racing cars a little bit, which has been fun.

As a little boy, I wanted to be a policeman. And then as I got older, and I saw my dad in the car business, an automobile executive.

It is astonishing with how little wisdom mankind can be governed, when that little wisdom is its own.

Perhaps too much of everything is as bad as too little.
