Leonard Nimoy Quotes

Self-love for ever creeps out, like a snake, to sting anything which happens to stumble upon it.

This arrogance thing... I've had that my whole life. I flip between, 'Oh really? Oh, thank you. Wow. That's amazing' and, 'Yeah! Of course I am.' They're both varying degrees of a self-defence mechanism. It can be from minute to minute that I change.

Where talent is a dwarf, self-esteem is a giant.

Anybody that's got a problem with me is probably envious or wants to be me, and that's how I've always looked at it.

In real life, I'm gorgeous, beautiful.

Many a man is praised for his reserve and so-called shyness when he is simply too proud to risk making a fool of himself.
