Look, architecture has a lot of places to hide behind, a lot of excuses. 'The client made me do this.' 'The city made me do this.' 'Oh, the budget.' I don't believe that anymore.
‐‐ Frank Gehry
Look around, and you see everywhere the exertions and acts of individuals restricted, regulated, or promoted, on the principle of the common welfare.
‐‐ Friedrich List
Look around at day-to-day life for ideas, and it finds its way into your work.
‐‐ Thom Mayne
Look around at the countries of Europe, and you'll find that practically all of them have pasts that are just as tragic as Ireland's, yet the people seem able to find some creative way at moving into the future.
‐‐ Jennifer Johnston
Look around for a place to sow a few seeds.
‐‐ Henry Van Dyke
Look around the inhabited world; how few know their own good, or knowing it, pursue.
‐‐ John Dryden
Look around. There are no enemies here. There's just good, old-fashioned rivalry.
‐‐ Bob Wells
Look. Art knows no prejudice, art knows no boundaries, art doesn't really have judgement in it's purest form. So just go, just go.
‐‐ K. D. Lang
Look, as long as we can make records and sell enough so we can do some shows, that's all I want. You know what? I just want to play guitar and be in a band. Same as I always did.
‐‐ Chrissie Hynde
Look at a book. A book is the right size to be a book. They're solar-powered. If you drop them, they keep on being a book. You can find your place in microseconds. Books are really good at being books, and no matter what happens, books will survive.
‐‐ Douglas Adams
Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It's part ballet. It's part battleground, part playground. We clarify, amplify and glorify the game with our footage, the narration and that music, and in the end create an inspirational piece of footage.
‐‐ Steve Sabol
Look at a guy like Ian McKellen, who is eighty or whatever, and he's just loving his work, and you can see that in the work. That defines what type of actor you are. And what kind of people want to work with you. And whether you can do this job for a long, long time.
‐‐ Jason Clarke
Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
‐‐ Jacob Riis
Look at all the billionaires. If I know 15 billionaires, I know 13 unhappy people.
‐‐ Russell Simmons
Look at all the buses now that want exact change, exact change. I figure if I give them exact change, they should take me exactly where I want to go.
‐‐ George C. Wallace
Look at all the magazines: There's always 10 ways to be better at something.
‐‐ Brooke Elliott
Look at all the marriages that have been wonderfully successful where fellows finished their army service and came home to go to college on G.I. bills and their wives worked.
‐‐ Marta Kristen
Look at all the misery in the Middle East, for example. All these countries have Islam in common, and far too few dare to criticize Islam as an ideology, and what it's doing to these countries. I know I might get punched in the face for saying these things, but my conviction is that less religion in the world would be better.
‐‐ Bjorn Ulvaeus
Look at all the Misfits products that came out. We never made a dime off it.
‐‐ Jerry Only
Look at all those unattractive people talking about depraved things all day long on TV talk shows. People can talk about themselves, yet the art of conversation, which has to do with sharing, is disappearing. I feel as though I am chasing a runaway locomotive.
‐‐ Letitia Baldrige
Look at 'American Idol,' which I don't look at. Those winners haven't become household names except for Jennifer Hudson, and she was a reject. You can't aim to be a household name. You just have to be successful.
‐‐ Andre Leon Talley
Look at another person while living; the soul is not visible, only the body which it animates. Therefore, merely because after death the soul is not visible is no demonstration that it does not still live.
‐‐ Richard Jefferies
Look at any black-and-white movie; everybody is smoking.
‐‐ Loni Anderson
Look at any country that's plagued with poverty, disease or violence; the antidote is girls. Girls are the antibodies to many of society's ills.
‐‐ Queen Rania of Jordan
Look at any inspired painting. It's like a gong sounding; it puts you in a state of reverberation.
‐‐ Philip Guston
Look at anyone's bookcase at home, no matter how modest, and you're going to find a book that contains wisdom or ideas or a language that's at least a thousand years old. And the idea that humans have created a mechanism to time travel, to hurl ideas into the future, it sort of bookends. Books are a time machine.
‐‐ Jonathan Nolan
Look at Austen. In her novels, you get a dance, followed by an encounter, followed by a letter, then a period of solitude. No flashbacks and no backstory. Let's have no more back story!
‐‐ Colm Toibin
Look at Ayatollah Khomeini's revolution and the slogans that they used: anti-imperialism; anti-colonialism; the struggle of the have-nots against the haves; the state monopoly over economy, which was very much patterned after the Soviet Union. All of these things did not come out of Islam. Islam is not that developed.
‐‐ Azar Nafisi
Look at Baltimore back in 2000. They had an outstanding defense. They could run the ball, and they had a quarterback that didn't turn it over that much. I think that is a plan that can bring you great success.
‐‐ Bob McNair
Look at bread, and see it as a Dairy Milk Cadbury's chocolate bar, and say to yourself, 'OK, you don't need that.' Bread is bad.
‐‐ James Corden
Look at Christ, my dear friend: His life was divine through and through, full of self-denial, and He did everything for mankind, finding His satisfaction and His delight in the dissolution of His material being.
‐‐ Mikhail Bakunin
Look at Cillian Murphy: 'Batman,' 'Tron'... those are some heavy-hitting franchises. But he works his way around it. He manages to have a great career and a great life.
‐‐ Domhnall Gleeson
Look at climate change; don't put your head in the sand. Understand that it is going to have profound effects on our resources and so much else.
‐‐ Hillary Clinton
Look at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it's everywhere.
‐‐ Eli Roth
Look at cookbooks with your kids and ask them what sounds good.
‐‐ Mario Batali
Look at countries like China, they are determined to dominate all clean technology areas, putting lots of money into wind, solar, electric vehicles and battery storage. America's political impotence, caused by their terrible partisanship, will see them left behind.
‐‐ Malcolm Turnbull
Look at electricity in human history - it took a few decades for electricity to really revolutionize the American economy. And the Internet will be the same. At some point in the future, we will arrive at a new era of low-hanging fruit.
‐‐ Tyler Cowen
Look at every action movie in Hollywood. Every leading man from Spider-Man to Batman to James Bond, 'Bourne Identity', every one of them possesses martial arts skills.
‐‐ Donnie Yen
Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.
‐‐ Carlos Castaneda
Look at every show on television; it's derivative of another show that came before it. It was only a matter of time. So all you 'Mentalist' fans, it's okay to like the show, but don't be in denial of where it came from. Friday nights, U.S.A., basic cable-style baby.
‐‐ James Roday
Look at every Zion society from ancient times to present, and you find at its center love for others.
‐‐ Joseph B. Wirthlin
Look at everything as though you were seeing it for the first time or the last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory.
‐‐ Betty Smith
Look at Fukushima. Should we or should we not agree with the U.S. government that none of that radioactive energy is making its way here? Hello!
‐‐ Marianne Williamson
Look at Gleason in The Honeymooners. He was humorous but the way he lived wasn't really humorous. He was a bus driver. Who wants to be a bus driver? He didn't have any money and he was not famous. But despite that, the show is humorous.
‐‐ George Thorogood
Look at growth, look at how much time people spend on the Net and look at the variety of things that they are doing. It's all really good, so I am actually encouraged by the fundamentals that underlie usage growth on the Net.
‐‐ Meg Whitman
Look at Gwyneth Paltrow and my favourite, Kate Winslet. No one ever says, 'Oh, she's making a comeback.' To my mind, I just went on maternity leave and reported back to work.
‐‐ Karisma Kapoor
Look at history; all the interesting women were deeply flawed.
‐‐ Linda Gray
Look at history. It's not the account of a species at peace.
‐‐ Salman Rushdie
Look at how hard it was to get to where I am. It doesn't make sense to give it up.
‐‐ Oprah Winfrey
