I worked with Jack Nitzsche for 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,' and we'd booked a symphony orchestra. He dismissed them and came with a little man who poured water into glasses of different sizes to make a glass harmonica. And most of the music for the film was that - with some Indian flutes and some drums.

Milos Forman

We should work for simple, good, undecorated things, but things which are in harmony with the human being and organically suited to the little man in the street.

Alvar Aalto

Events that are predestined require but little management. They manage themselves. They slip into place while we sleep, and suddenly we are aware that the thing we fear to attempt, is already accomplished.

Amelia Barr

I always tried to be the perfect little girl. Always tried to have the perfect little manners. Never wanted to displease my parents.

Ann-Margret

Miles Davis is my go-to for music. There's something so relaxing and ambient about it, and it can be a little manic in a good way.

Antoni Porowski

In the neighborhood where I grew up, it was a rough neighborhood - well, not rough, but it certainly wasn't upper class or anything. But I remember hearing things like, 'The little man just can't get ahead.' And if you start to believe that, then you know what? You don't get ahead.

Dave Ramsey

Sometimes I get a little manic and you can't stop me. I'm all over the place. I have fun.

Dom DeLuise

I distrust Great Men. They produce a desert of uniformity around them and often a pool of blood too, and I always feel a little man's pleasure when they come a cropper.

E. M. Forster

To vilify a great man is the readiest way in which a little man can himself attain greatness.

Edgar Allan Poe

Must! Is must a word to be addressed to princes? Little man, little man! Thy father, if he had been alive, durst not have used that word.

Elizabeth I

Hours after I gave birth to my first child, my husband cradled all five pounds of our boy and said, gently, 'Hi, Sweetpea.' Not 'Buddy' or 'Little Man.' Sweetpea. The word filled me with unanticipated comfort.

Faith Salie

A little man often cast a long shadow.

G. M. Trevelyan

Years ago I went into my laboratory and said, 'Dear Mr. Creator, please tell me what the universe was made for?' The Great Creator answered, 'You want to know too much for that little mind of yours. Ask for something more your size, little man.'

George Washington Carver

Being in this band is like being in high school all over again. We're like a bunch of little maniacs.

Gina Schock

I think being called a cat lady is a compliment. It means you have adopted a tiny little maniac into your life.

Hannah Simone

As far as I'm concerned, I want to remain the mean little man I always was.

Jack Levine

There's a wide variety of diversity, with people that have disabilities from R.J. Mitte in 'Breaking Bad' to Danny Woodburn being a little man.

Jamie Brewer

We are not a nation who has ever produced No 10s prolifically. When I was growing up, attacks consisted of a big man-little man combination, with two midfielders sitting behind.

Jamie Carragher

The little man is still a man.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.

John Lubbock

The moment I was introduced to my wife, Emma, at a party I thought, here she is - and 20 minutes later I told her she ought to marry me. She thought I was as mad as a rat. She wouldn't even give me her telephone number - and she wrote in her diary: 'A funny little man asked me to marry him.'

Julian Fellowes
