- Screaming at children over their grades, especially to the point of the child's tears, is child abuse, pure and simple. It's not funny and it's not good parenting. It is a crushing, scarring, disastrous experience for the child. It isn't the least bit funny.
- Ben Stein on Experience
- Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
- Helen Keller on Experience
- Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.

- W. C. Fields on Experience
- So I've seen life as one long learning process. And if I see - you know, if I fly on somebody else's airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn't in - 21 years ago, then I'd think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on.
- Richard Branson on Experience
- So if I have two pieces of cake, do I have twice as good an experience as the first piece of cake? One of the things I've found in life is that the first piece of cake is the best.
- David Frum on Experience
- So that ends my first experience of matrimony, which I always thought a highly over-rated performance.
- Isadora Duncan on Experience
- So when you do your family tree and Margaret Cho does hers, and... Wanda Sykes and John Legend... we're adding to the database that scholars can then draw from to generalize about the complexity of the American experience. And that's the contribution that family trees make to broader scholarship.
- Henry Louis Gates on Experience
- Some of us are interested in directors, but really the vast majority of us are interested in actors. You experience the films through the actors, so they're all locked into your imagination in some kind of layer of fantasy or hatred or wherever they settle into your imagination.
- Danny Boyle on Experience
- Some writers can only deal with childhood experience, because it's complete. For another kind of writer, life goes on, and he's able to keep processing that as well.
- V. S. Naipaul on Experience
- Something happens to us all when we experience something as a unit that doesn't occur when we're on our couches or holding our little portable DVD players.

- Sometimes I get so bold and I'm so confident about what I'm doing that I actually try to be more of a dork because it's a really liberating feeling to experience what it's like to not care.
- John Mayer on Experience
- Sometimes I think our problems are made worse by the kind of business we're in. Playing these road shows is a weird experience.
- Loretta Lynn on Experience
- Sometimes when we weep in the movies we weep for ourselves or for a life unlived. Or we even go to the movies because we want to resist the emotion that's there in front of us. I think there is always a catharsis that I look for and that makes the movie experience worthwhile.
- Edward Zwick on Experience

- Stories have always been the things that entertain me and make me feel happy and sad and move me and give me the experience of being able to live many lives in one lifetime. It's the best thing about being alive.
- Michael Sheen on Experience
- Studies perfect nature and are perfected still by experience.
- Francis Bacon on Experience
- Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.
- Michael Eisner on Experience
- Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning.
- John Dewey on Experience
- Suffering is but another name for the teaching of experience, which is the parent of instruction and the schoolmaster of life.
- Horace on Experience
- Sure, I suffered a lot. But it's not like the end of the world and it's not who I am. I lead quite a pleasant life and I'm able to divorce a perceived reality from my actual experience of life.

- Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further.
