When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.
It's possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems.
Songs seem to live in the soul even when everything else leaves
Prison for the crime of puberty -- that was how secondary school had seemed.
...animals behaved with purpose, it seemed. Unlike people.
I seemed to have lost all soul or sensation but for this one pursuit.
Life never seems to go the way you imagine it will.
The moment seemed endless, but it was probably only half that.
It seemed like all the way to tomorrow and over it to the days beyond.
Hitherto, the rights and wrongs had seemed so beautifully simple.
The sun was fierce, the land seemed to glisten and drip with steam.
My deepest impulses are optimistic, an attitude that seems to me as spiritually necessary and proper as it is intellectually suspect.
When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
People who refuse to rest honorably on their laurels when they reach retirement age seem very admirable to me.
I got into filmmaking in order to tell very personal stories, and in this day and age, the opportunity seems all the more precious.
It seems as if an age of genius must be succeeded by an age of endeavour; riot and extravagance by cleanliness and hard work.

If you think spreading money around by force seems like an odd definition of fairness, you're not alone.
In a place like the Greek Theater in L.A., to try and create a close connection with the audience seems almost antithetical to the architecture of the building.
For many years, I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose, it seems to me, must be the improvement of mankind.
