The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.
Ninon de L’Enclos
Not since Ancient Greece have cities been thought of as the ideal living environment for humans. And that was so long ago it predates the invention of trousers.
The reason I give money to politicians within the limitations of the law is to allow them to put their message across to the people. Is it the ideal system? No. Is it the law of the land? Yes.
No fashion has ever been created expressly for the lean purse or for the fat woman: the dressmaker’s ideal is the thin millionaires.
Katharine Elizabeth Fullerton Gerould
My childhood was protected by love and a comfortable home. Yet, while still a very young child, I began instinctively to feel that there was something lacking, even in my own home, some false conception of family relations, some incomplete ideal.
You cannot contribute anything to the ideal condition of mind and heart known as Brotherhood, however much you preach, posture, or agree, unless you live it.
Faith Baldwin

Edmund Husserl
For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norms, even our cultural ideal.
Carl Bernstein

That’s my ideal man – a bit geeky but strong.
Being OK means you’re not sad, and you’re not incredibly happy. You’re content. You’re OK. And that’s the ideal place to be, to be able to say, ‘I’m OK.’
We talk about this concept of openness and transparency

We talk about this concept of openness and transparency as the high-level ideal that we’re moving towards at Facebook. The way that we get there is by empowering people to share and connect. The combination of those two things leads the world to become more open.
I had pictured journalism as I’d seen it in the most ennobling films, where the reporter battles for the truth, propelled by conviction, and is triumphant. There are journalists who fit that ideal.
For those who support same-sex marriage – and I support it without reservation – the ideal of equality and the belief in the dignity of same-sex relationships necessarily makes the issue seem a great deal like the civil-rights struggles of the past.
I love the novel of ‘The English Patient‘; I think it’s a profoundly beautiful novel. I love the movie of ‘The English Patient’; I think it’s a profoundly beautiful movie. And they’re totally different. You accept each on its own terms, and that’s kind of the ideal.
Commitment means that it is possible for a man to yield the nerve center of his consent to a purpose or cause, a movement or an ideal, which may be more important to him than whether he lives or dies.
Howard Thurman
As a registered Democrat, I am praying for a credible presidential candidate to emerge from the younger tier of politicians in their late 40s. A governor with executive experience would be ideal.

The ideal, without doubt, varies, but its enemies, alas, are always the same.

Let us assume that the ideal were reached; let us imagine a state of international life in which the danger of war no longer exists. Then no one would dare to demand a penny for obviously completely superfluous armaments.
You don’t have to live on a farm to have chickens; in some places, you just need a little bit of green space and a tidy chicken coop. To me, they’re nearly ideal pets. They feed us more often than we feed them! We have 2 chickens, Goldie and Paprika, and they each produce 1 egg a day, sometimes more.
Amy Robach
I write in all sorts of places; it’s a legacy of my time as a journalist, where I could turn out copy in a hotel corridor. But I have a little office that I rent in my local town, and that’s my ideal place.
Revolution as an ideal concept always preserves the essential content of the original thought: sudden and lasting betterment.

Gottfried Leibniz

Sprawl is the American ideal way to develop.
My perfect first date? Maybe a concert or a football game. That would be my ideal first date, but would the girl like it? I don’t know.

I am often asked which of my films has come closest to my own ideal of performance, and I always answer, ‘Educating Rita.’
Chermoula is a potent North African spice paste that is ideal for smearing on your favourite vegetables for roasting.

Crumpets for me are the quintessence of a British afternoon tea, the ideal winter warmer that would welcome me home from school.
The ideal would be to have a career like Meryl Streep’s or Kate Winslet’s. It’s just unbelievable how they manage to make such incredible choices one after the other. If you could have a career anything like that, then that would be a great thing.
He who is infatuated with 'Man' leaves persons out of a

He who is infatuated with ‘Man’ leaves persons out of account so far as that infatuation extends, and floats in an ideal, sacred interest. Man, you see, is not a person, but an ideal, a spook.
SuperMemo is based on the insight that there is an ideal moment to practice what you’ve learned. Practice too soon and you waste your time. Practice too late and you’ve forgotten the material and have to relearn it. The right time to practice is just at the moment you’re about to forget.
Parks are idealizations of nature, but nature in fact is not a condition of the ideal.

Because the world is radically new, the ideal encyclopedia should be radical, too.
Charles Van Doren
I got married because I fell in love with this woman. I had a baby with her because we wanted to have children. But that’s not because of some philosophical ideal at all, no.
My ideal travel companions are my family.
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
James Lane Allen
I’m good at melody – I’ll write the top-line melody and ideal words I want to go with it. But I’m not that good at writing lyrics. I bounce those back and forth with songwriters or someone who can sing.
The liberal ideal is that everyone should have fair access and fair opportunity. This is not equality of result. It’s equality of opportunity. There’s a fundamental difference.

The acid test of any legal system is not the greatness or the grandeur of its ideal concepts, but whether, in fact, it is able to produce order and justice.
I really don’t know what it’s like in ‘Twilight,’ but I know in the young-adult genre, there are these cold, aloof guys. If you start thinking that’s the ideal guy when you’re 13, by the time you’re 25, you’re going to have had some seriously bad relationships.
You cannot escape the results of your thoughts. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.
James Lane Allen
YI think what’s cool about ‘Scott Pilgrim‘ is that it shows that there is a superhero within all of us. There’s not one ideal image of what a superhero looks like, and you don’t really see that until the end of the film.
Ellen Wong
If I could create an ideal world, it would be an England with the fire of the Elizabethans, the correct taste of the Georgians, and the refinement and pure ideals of the Victorians.
Too often we forget that an ideal partner is someone who enhances an already full existence.
I think in the ’70s that there was a general feeling of chaos, a feeling that the idea of the ’60s as ‘ideal’ was a misnomer. Nothing seemed ideal anymore. Everything seemed in-between.
In my ideal world there would be 99% unemployment for actors, and I would be the 1% that’s employed. I hear about somebody getting a job at Starbucks and I get jealous.
Hamish Linklater
I have tried to do what is true and not ideal.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
My parents’ long and happy marriage was a great ideal to live up to, but a tough one.
Olivia Williams
In an ideal world, you don't want creatures where they

Klaus Schulze
Mr. Obama’s approach to engagement to some degree makes him dependent on people who wish neither him nor America well. This doesn’t have to end badly and I hope that it doesn’t – but it’s not an ideal position after one’s first year in power.
Walter Russell Mead
Man, your head is haunted; you have wheels in your head! You imagine great things, and depict to yourself a whole world of gods that has an existence for you, a spirit-realm to which you suppose yourself to be called, an ideal that beckons to you. You have a fixed idea!
To some extent, we’ve always had an admiration for extroversion in our culture. But the extrovert ideal really came to play at the turn of the 20th century when we had the rise of big business.
I follow politics avidly. I like sensible people of all political persuasions. My ideal political party would be a pick and mix.

It’s hard if you start believing that you should be really that perfect fantasy ideal, that people start believing because of all of the retouching. You can delve into that fantasy world and play with it, but when you walk away, that’s not you.
Gemma Ward
You’re in a movie because you’re appealing and because you represent the aspiration, the fantasy, the ideal.
Rachel Ward
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
When you look at Google, its job is to find you the perfect web page. There are a lot of cases when you want to know something and a list of websites isn’t ideal.
I’ve always worked closely with the designers and whoever’s making the costumes. Comfort is the last thing you want on your mind when you’re competing. In an ideal situation, you’ll have something where you’ll put it on and you’re fine and you don’t have to worry about it at all.
Work definitely comes first. I expect the same of my ideal other half too.
IU
Whatever the raw material, the material itself is unimportant until it’s catalyzed by emotional fervor. So in the ideal exchange between me and my listeners, they wouldn’t ‘figure out’ my music. They would feel their pulse racing and the hair standing up on the backs of their necks.
Steven Stucky
The ideal attitude is to be physically loose and mentally tight.
Arthur Ashe
Throughout its history, the international Olympic Committee has struggled to spread its ideal of fraternity, friendship, peace and universal understanding.
Juan Antonio Samaranch
As anchorman of the CBS Evening News, I signed off my nightly broadcasts for nearly two decades with a simple statement: ‘And that’s the way it is.’ To me, that encapsulates the newsman’s highest ideal: to report the facts as he sees them, without regard for the consequences or controversy that may ensue.
Fake tan isn’t ideal. You have to be into that whole look to enjoy it – and I hate it.
The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances.

Tom Verlaine
When Picasso painted in Paris, was he a Spanish or a French painter? It does not matter, he was Picasso, whatever the influences surrounding him. He simply chose Paris because it was the ideal place for him to sell his creation.
Jean-Jacques Annaud
Weekends are about replenishment and rejuvenation. Time in Wales would definitely be part of my ideal weekend, at my own hotel, set in 72 acres of absolute gorgeousness. I can already feel the air working its magic, with the sea breeze drifting over us.
A perfect human being: Man in search of his ideal of perfection. Nothing less.
Pir Vilayat Khan
I have a couple of dozen books on my reader: ideal for a long trip or an afternoon waiting at the medical clinic. It’s flexible.
Barbara Hambly
I’m really into beaches, but I also enjoy a bit of culture. An ideal holiday would have a nice balance of the two, but I’m definitely not into adrenalin sports, nor would I enjoy spending a month solid on a beach.
Miranda Raison
In an ideal world, you'd never have to do things that a

In an ideal world, you’d never have to do things that are below your position, but this isn’t an ideal world, and it’s never going to be.
Though designed as a mere convenience, clothing sizes establish an unintended norm, an ideal from which deviations seem like flaws. There’s nothing like a trip to the dressing room to convince a woman – fat, thin, or in between – that she’s a freak.
Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.

If I just produce the transparent ideal accepted by the Western experts, a process of privatization which will be very good but never happen, that means nothing.
For me, an ideal novel is a dialogue between writer and reader, both a collaborative experience and an intimate exchange of emotions and ideas. The reader just might be the most powerful tool in a writer’s arsenal.
The ideal engine of a 3-D game is an intricate and elegant construct of code that allows players to speed through solidly built virtual worlds. The engine allows every picture on a monitor to be drawn there quickly enough to convince hand and eye that it is instantaneous.
Marc Laidlaw
Something I’ve really been wanting to do, ever since ‘Six Feet Under’ ended, was create my own version of this idealized writer’s room as well as the ideal family.

It is true that the poet does not directly address his neighbors; but he does address a great congress of persons who dwell at the back of his mind, a congress of all those who have taught him and whom he has admired; they constitute his ideal audience and his better self.
Richard Wilbur
The ideal vacuum cleaner would be one you never see. It needs to not just be a cool gadget, but a product that cleans your floor correctly. I can imagine people having a cupboard full of robots that only come out when you need them to fulfil a specific purpose.
Sequestration was not designed to be anyone‘s ideal method for getting our hands around government spending, and it certainly isn’t mine.

Without peace, there is nothing truly human. Peace is harmony. And harmony is the highest ideal of life.
Klas Pontus Arnoldson
In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation.
I’m not promoting anything totally unhealthy because I’m not unhealthy. But I am promoting an ideal that’s not attainable, and for that I have to feel guilty. I have to assume some blame for that.
Romney, like Sen. John McCain and Bob Dole before him,

Romney, like Sen. John McCain and Bob Dole before him, were meant to mollify moderates, attract Independents, and ‘rebrand’ the party in a way that mostly fits the ideal of media types who would never vote Republican anyhow. Each of them lost.
‘Perfect competition‘ is considered both the ideal and the default state in Economics 101. So-called perfectly competitive markets achieve equilibrium when producer supply meets consumer demand.

Male bonobos really don’t fit the human male ideal.
This disaster did not force us to abandon our ideal; on the contrary, from the very first months of the conflict, it led us to define precisely the conditions for its realization.
Leon Jouhaux
One of my top tips for aspiring entrepreneurs: Tell everyone you know about your idea. This runs contrary to the instinct that most people have, because they’re afraid someone is going to ‘steal my ideal.’ Ideas alone are worth very little; it’s in the execution and market feedback that companies are made.
For the U.S., a nation that boasts of being the land of the free, it does not live up to its ideal.

It’s not ideal; I don’t want to get a bad decision. If I win the fight, I expect to get my hand raised at the end of it. But, if people see it’s a bad decision, it gets sorted out. You get another shot, or you fight someone else at the top level.
Everything that is, was, and will be, eternally IS, even the countless forms, which are finite and perishable only in their objective, not in their ideal Form.
Helena Blavatsky
I’ve given my life to the principle and the ideal of memory, and remembrance.
All the political movements of our country that have hitherto played any important role in our modern history had been lacking in the ideal at the achievement of which they aimed. Revolutionary movement is no exception.

The man is distinguished from the youth by the fact that he takes the world as it is, instead of everywhere fancying it amiss and wanting to improve it, i.e. model it after his ideal; in him the view that one must deal with the world according to his interest, not according to his ideals, becomes confirmed.
To move the picture into our surroundings and give it real existence has been my ideal since I came to abstract painting.
