I don’t want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures. – Greta Garbo
Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment. – Horace
People who are creative, who do it as a lifestyle, it’s kind of silly to make that claim you’re done, because you just never know when that spark is going to hit you again. You can’t necessarily predict how you’re going to feel. In ten years I’ll be 58, and I might still feel like making a punk record. – Greg Graffin
‘Have fun’ is my message. Be silly. You’re allowed to be silly. There’s nothing wrong with it. – Jimmy Fallon
There’s something strange about theater. My characters consistently demonize elitism, but of course it’s taking place in a theater where only so many people can see it.

Whence it is somewhat strange that any men from so mean and silly a practice should expect commendation, or that any should afford regard thereto; the which it is so far from meriting, that indeed contempt and abhorrence are due to it. – Isaac Barrow
One of the great things about wrestling is how it interrogates this silly idea that you have one authentic self. – John Darnielle
When I was still in the Yardbirds, our producer, Mickie Most, would always try to get us to record all these horrible songs. During one session, we recorded ‘Ten Little Indians,’ an extremely silly song that featured a truly awful brass arrangement. – Jimmy Page
He didn’t even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights. it had to be some silly little Communist. – Jackie Kennedy
Sometimes it is claimed by those who argue that race is just a social construct that the human genome project shows that because people share roughly 99% of their genes in common, that there are no races. This is silly. – J. Philippe Rushton
I grew up in an apolitical household. I never left the country. When I became an adult, I started traveling and became interested in politics, and I probably talked about things in a silly, ignorant way. – Jesse Eisenberg
I grew up in the Bronx where you would stay up late with your girlfriends, just being silly in our bedrooms, whatever. And I was always the clown. – Jennifer Lopez
