Marcel Desailly was pretty hard when I played against him in a Milan derby. -- Paul Ince
To me, the idea of living this lifestyle is so boring that I would prefer to read Marcel Proust the whole time during a tour. -- Laurent Brancowitz
But the whole idea of the transformation... mystery, transformation, and manipulations - those were the things that Marcel was a magician at. That's his magic. -- Robert Barnes
The second time I was there I met Marcel Duchamp, and we immediately fell for each other. Which doesn't mean a thing because I think anybody who met Marcel fell for him. -- Beatrice Wood
Damien Hirst is the Elvis of the English art world, its ayatollah, deliverer, and big-thinking entrepreneurial potty-mouthed prophet and front man. Hirst synthesizes punk, Pop Art, Jeff Koons, Marcel Duchamp, Francis Bacon, and Catholicism. -- Jerry Saltz
Perhaps my favourite story is 'Le Passe-Muraille' by Marcel Ayme. It's about a guy who wakes up with a weird faculty that means he can walk through walls. He's a very shy clerk, and he uses it to get revenge, or vent his frustration. -- Michel Gondry
Marcel, no more painting; go get a job. -- Marcel Duchamp
If there was ever a bigger pansy than my father, it was Marcel Proust. -- Alison Bechdel

"In France," Marcel said with wintry dignity, "accidents occur in the bedroom, not the kitchen." -- S. J. Perelman

And then there is that one-man movement, Marcel Duchamp for me a truly modern movement because it implies that each artist can do what he thinks he ought to a movement for each person and open for everybody. -- Willem de Kooning
As a filmmaker, I always took my inspiration from a filmmaker named Marcel OphÃ¼ls, who said, "I always have a point of view, but the trick is showing how hard it is to come to that point of view." -- Alex Gibney
The only real voyage consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes; in seeing the universe through the eyes of another, one hundred others-in seeing the hundred universes that each of them sees. Marcel Proust, translated by Kiyotesong -- Rob Brezsny
Marcel Proust shut out visitors from his cork-lined room, where he wrote, but he probably expected to be immortalized in the literary canon. Even the most introverted drives and motives are set in a social context and amplified by the potential for achieving fame. -- Tyler Cowen
In the spiritual reality of the church, neither Marcel Lefebvre, nor his bishops and priests, nor the people who frequent the SSPX chapels suffered or suffer excommunication. I believe history will record that the intent to impose such an excommunication was invalid and illicit. -- Malachi Martin
A large, still book is a piece of quietness, succulent and nourishing in a noisy world, which I approach and imbibe with "a sort of greedy enjoyment," as Marcel Proust said of those rooms of his old home whose air was "saturated with the bouquet of silence." -- Holbrook Jackson
