Backpacks are obtrusive. They're great for school kids and mountaineers, but a woman is supposed to look enticing and glamorous at night. They obscure one of a woman's most erogenous zones, the nape of her neck. I suppose they're good if you want to keep men away.

Backstage at the Victoria's Secret show is pure madness. Big personalities, big hair, and tons of press.
‐‐ Erin Heatherton
Backstage, I get sleepy, and want to curl up and snooze. I never get nervous, whatever the event. I feel quite detached until I walk on stage, and then some gear inside me clicks and off I go like a wind up doll.
‐‐ Pete Townshend
Backstage life is terrific training for an actor, seeing shows from the wings.
‐‐ Alan Alda
Backstreet Boys fans don't want to hear the New Kids singing all of their hits. Just like our fans don't want to hear the Backstreet Boys singing all of our hits.
‐‐ Donnie Wahlberg
Backup dancers are completely respectable. They're the studio musicians of dance.

Backward is just not a natural direction for Americans to look - historical ignorance remains a national characteristic.
‐‐ Larry McMurtry
'Backwash' is an old-school, slapstick-y romp between three eccentric loser friends who inadvertently rob a bank, armed solely with a salami and a sweat sock, and then find themselves on the run pursued by singing cops. It's kind of a classic piece, a sophisticated piece, if you will.

Bacon has been a staple of the American diet since the first European settlers, but until recently, it was consumed in a predictable, seasonal pattern. The bulk of sales came from home consumers, diners, and pancake houses, which fried it up along with eggs for breakfast.
‐‐ David Sax
Bacon is so good by itself that to put it in any other food is an admission of failure. You're basically saying, 'I can't make this other food taste good, so I'll throw in bacon.'
‐‐ Penn Jillette
Bacon. Let's talk about bacon. There's no meat more glorious than bacon. You can add it to pasta instead of cheese. You can stick it in a sandwich, er... instead of cheese.
‐‐ Rob Manuel
Bacon's not the only thing that's cured by hanging from a string.

Bacteria are single-celled organisms. Bacteria are the model organisms for everything that we know in higher organisms. There are 10 times more bacterial cells in you or on you than human cells.
‐‐ Bonnie Bassler
Bacteria evolve, and so they become resistant to existing drugs. Sometimes they revert, depending on how damaging the mutation is to the life cycle of the bacteria. Mutations that give rise to resistance against particular compounds do increase, and that is why you constantly have to have new ones.
‐‐ Thomas A. Steitz
Bacteria live in unbelievable mixtures of hundreds or thousands of species. Like on your teeth. There are 600 species of bacteria on your teeth every morning.
‐‐ Bonnie Bassler
Bacteria mineralized the rocks; they deposited the iron. They made the geology we see.

Bad acting comes in many bags, various odors. It can be performed by cardboard refugees from an Ed Wood movie, reciting their dialogue off an eye chart, or by hopped-up pros looking to punch a hole through the fourth wall from pure ballistic force of personality, like Joe Pesci in a bad mood. I can respect bad acting that owns its own style.

Bad as was being shot by some of our own troops in the battle of the Wilderness, - that was an honest mistake, one of the accidents of war, - being shot at, since the war, by many officers, was worse.

Bad attitudes will ruin your team.
‐‐ Terry Bradshaw
Bad behaviour makes men more glamorous. Women get destroyed, thrown out of society and locked up in institutions.
‐‐ Marianne Faithfull
'Bad Blood' tells the story of Trick, a teenage slacker on the losing side of a fight with cancer. When he's attacked by a vampire, he figures it's game over. Except that the chemo drugs in Trick's blood poison the vampire.

Bad Boy Entertainment did not shoot anybody. I didn't shoot anybody.

Bad boys do get the girls.

Bad Boys II has knocked everyone's socks off.
‐‐ Joe Pantoliano
'Bad Boys', which Bay made when he was just twenty-eight, having never made a movie before, having done a string of commercials and music videos with artists ranging from Donny Osmond to Meat Loaf, grossed more than $140 million worldwide.

Bad Brains is one of my all-time favorite punk bands.

Bad company corrupts good character.
‐‐ Menander
Bad company is as instructive as licentiousness. One makes up for the loss of one's innocence with the loss of one's prejudices.
‐‐ Denis Diderot
Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty; but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood.
‐‐ Saint Augustine
Bad conduct soils the finest ornament more than filth.
‐‐ Plautus
Bad days will come for each one of us, and the more we've thought these things through ahead of time, the better prepared we'll be when tragedy strikes or struggles emerge.
‐‐ Terri Blackstock
Bad debt is debt that makes you poorer. I count the mortgage on my home as bad debt, because I'm the one paying on it. Other forms of bad debt are car payments, credit card balances, or other consumer loans.
‐‐ Robert Kiyosaki
Bad directors are the ones who want to tell you every move, and think they're a better actor than you.
‐‐ Carroll Baker
Bad directors will tell you they absolutely know how to do it, and how it has to happen; there's this insecurity that leads them to feeling like they have to control everything.
‐‐ Molly Parker
Bad excuses are worse than none.
‐‐ Thomas Fuller
Bad experience is a school that only fools keep going to.
‐‐ Ezra Taft Benson
Bad faith likes discourse on friendship and loyalty.
‐‐ Mason Cooley
Bad food is made without pride, by cooks who have no pride, and no love. Bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please everyone... Bad food is fake food... food that shows fear and lack of confidence in people's ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives.
‐‐ Anthony Bourdain
Bad for the sake of bad is boring to me and not believable.
‐‐ Bryan Cranston
Bad guys are complicated characters. It's always fun to play them. You get away with a lot more. You don't have a heroic code you have to live by.
‐‐ Peter Dinklage
Bad guys are so much fun to play because you can go as far and as wacky as you want.
‐‐ Joel Gretsch
Bad guys don't think they're bad guys. Hitler probably thought he was a wonderful guy doing some wonderful and righteous work for Germany.
‐‐ Martin Landau
Bad guys have always been my bag... I look mean without even trying.
‐‐ Lee Van Cleef
Bad guys have more fun.
‐‐ David Gallagher
Bad human communication leaves us less room to grow.
‐‐ Rowan Williams
Bad humor is an evasion of reality; good humor is an acceptance of it.
‐‐ Malcolm Muggeridge
Bad improv happens with people who are inexperienced with each other and don't know the craft that well. But bad stand-up is something that could happen to someone at any level in their career.
‐‐ Kristen Schaal
Bad impulse buys make you feel grim, don't they? It's like having consumer Tourette's. I gravitate towards austere foreign-language film DVDs when insecure.
‐‐ Sally Phillips
Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.
‐‐ Edmund Burke
Bad leaders believe that they have to project control at all times.
