Ben Smith's quick-hit campaign 'scoops' are about as viral as cat videos. That fits with Buzzfeed.

Ben Vereen is going to be on the show with me, too.
‐‐ Liza Minnelli
Ben was more improvisational, and relied less on methodology, and basically is a guitarist who switched to bass, whereas Jeff has a more traditional approach to playing bass in a band, and has a great sense of what his band sounds like, and we lock up nicely.

Benazir Bhutto was an inspirational leader and an inspirational woman.
‐‐ Malala Yousafzai
Benches and books have things in common beyond the fact that they're generally to do with sitting. Both are forms of public privacy, intimate spaces widely shared.

Beneath all differences of doctrine or discipline there exists a fundamental agreement as to the simple, absolute essentials in religion.
‐‐ Julia Ward Howe
Beneath all of these addictions is this disease, this control disease which is the mark of our society.
‐‐ Keith Miller
'Beneath the Piano' by The Devil Makes Three somehow reminds me of an old Johnny Cash song. The song is a lot of fun and tells a story.
‐‐ Ben Lovett
Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword.
‐‐ Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
Beneath the surface of your ego's insatiable cravings, your authentic desires are waiting patiently for you to acknowledge, claim and express them.

Beneath words and logic are emotional connections that largely direct how we use our words and logic.

Benedict Cumberbatch is very beautiful.
‐‐ Caitlin Moran
'Benedict' means 'blessed.' My parents liked the sound of the name and felt slightly blessed because they'd been trying for a child for a very long time.
‐‐ Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict's spending down his energy was a function of his fighting against the Space/Information Age's relentless pressure on the concept of hierarchy, the restoration of which he had, following John Paul II, made a central part of the program that has come to be known as the reform of the reform.

Beneficial in theory, so-called free trade agreements far too often have been detrimental to the United States economy and the manufacturing sector that forms its central pillar.
‐‐ Dan Kildee
Benefit your friends; make sure your enemies suffer from being your enemies.
‐‐ Louie Gohmert
Benefits are rarely made public in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, where companies must report the pay and options that their five highest-paid executives receive.
‐‐ Alex Berenson
Benefits should be conferred gradually; and in that way they will taste better.
‐‐ Niccolo Machiavelli
Benefitting from a job bubble is not only a first world problem, it's an upper-class-educated-lucky-to-be-in-the-right-industry-at-the-right-time kind of first world problem.
‐‐ Sarah Lacy
Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it. The gift of teaching is a peculiar talent, and implies a need and a craving in the teacher himself.
‐‐ John Jay Chapman
Bengalis love to celebrate their language, their culture, their politics, their fierce attachment to a city that has been famously dying for more than a century. They resent with equal ferocity the reflex stereotyping that labels any civic dysfunction anywhere in the world 'another Calcutta.'
‐‐ Bharati Mukherjee
Benghazi matters because Americans deserve to know the truth from those entrusted to lead and govern.
‐‐ Trey Gowdy
Benghazi was a tragedy. Libya is a tragedy.
‐‐ Paul Manafort
Benito Mussolini created the word 'fascism.' He defined it as 'the merging of the state and the corporation.' He also said a more accurate word would be 'corporatism.' This was the definition in Webster's up until 1987 when a corporation bought Webster's and changed it to exclude any mention of corporations.

Benjamin Franklin maintained that every star is a sun, and every sun nourishes a 'chorus of worlds' just like ours.
‐‐ Matthew Stewart
Benjamin Franklin may have discovered electricity, but it was the man who invented the meter who made the money.
‐‐ Earl Wilson
Benjamin Franklin performed a beautiful experiment using surfactants: on a pond at Clapham Common, he poured a small amount of oleic acid, a natural surfactant which tends to form a dense film at the water-air interface.
‐‐ Pierre-Gilles de Gennes
Benjamin Franklin said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes. But I'd like to add a third certainty: trash. And while some in this room might want to discuss reducing taxes, I want to talk about reducing trash.

Benjamin Netanyahu has made the official policy of the Israeli government the two-state solution, at a time when he had opposition from many quarters. That is his official position. He remains publicly committed to it, but not just publicly; also in diplomacy, totally committed to moving swiftly toward that solution.
‐‐ Michael Oren
Benjamin Netanyahu seems to avoid any initiative.
‐‐ Ehud Barak
Benji usually tries to match his hair with his underwear, and you know how he had the pink hair for a while well we caught him in a pink thong one day!

Benny Goodman was one of the big influences as a clarinet player. That's why I wanted the clarinet.

Bent metal is worse than bent wood and weight for weight is more flexible.

Benteen, come on, big village, be quick. Bring packs.
‐‐ George Armstrong Custer
Beowulf is not a superhero. He has a talent, very much like Clint Eastwood in 'Unforgiven.' He's very good at staying calm in the right moment, but he does bad things. It's very much about having talent in a tight spot.

Bereavement is terrible, of course. And when somebody you love dies, it's a time for reflection, a time for memory, a time for regret.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
Bereavement is the deepest initiation into the mysteries of human life, an initiation more searching and profound than even happy love.
‐‐ Dean Inge
Bereavement is the sharpest challenge to our trust in God; if faith can overcome this, there is no mountain which it cannot remove.

Bergman has a very special eye for people. His background taught him to listen and to feel.
‐‐ Max von Sydow
Bergman made countless masterpieces, but for one reason or another, 'Winter Light' stays closest to my heart.
‐‐ Jake Paltrow
Bergman was courageous in choosing people to do things that they themselves might not expect to play.

Berkeley hackers liked to see themselves as rebels against soulless corporate empires.
‐‐ Eric S. Raymond
Berkeley had a liberal element in the student body who tended to be quite active. I think that's in general a feature of intellectually active places.

Berlin has traditionally backed a rules-based eurozone in which every member state is responsible for its own finances, including bank bailouts, with political union limited to a fiscal overlord's possessing veto power over national budgets that violate the rules.
‐‐ Yanis Varoufakis
Berlin inspired Bowie and stirred him to write about real, important matters.
‐‐ Rory MacLean
Berlin is all about volatility. Its identity is based not on stability but on change.
‐‐ Rory MacLean
Berlin is in a state of transition. There are lots of people who don't stay here. They pass through. They might not 'clean up,' but they mature. It is a city where people spend a significant time in their lives, and then they move on.
‐‐ Raf Simons
Berlin is like being abroad in Germany. It's German, but not provincial.
‐‐ Claudia Schiffer
Berlin is my favourite city.
