Quote examples
Vincent Gallo
American Actor
I've never been a popular person, but it doesn't matter. I have everything in my life that I want. I'm not a walking publicity stunt. I'm not an anarchist, or bitter. I'm not trying to be subversive. I just try to remain unguarded, unprotected by fear, and agents and publicists, and I feel comfortable that way.
Quote examples
Edwin Markham
American Poet
The open street, like the open sea, is an inviting thing to the mind of man. It is one of the few places where all may meet as equals under sun or rain; but only a John Bunyan could adequately portray the danger of the cities with their pitfalls for the young unguarded feet.
Quote examples
John Burnside
Scottish Writer

John Wesley Shipp
American Actor

Quote examples
Joy Reid
American Journalist
Freedom is neither guaranteed nor automatic; not even in the United States. Left unguarded, it can slip away like a thief in the night.

Barbara Walters
American Journalist
Wait for those unguarded moments. Relax the mood and, like the child dropping off to sleep, the subject often reveals his truest self.
Quote examples
Chris Gabrieli
American Businessman
You can't be entirely unguarded in politics. Even appearing to be unguarded is as much a facade as a reality.
