Most projects that I've done are really not about the project. They're about what's going on inside and around, that journey that we're all on, and what I can do to help that journey further itself and be of encouragement to somebody.
‐‐ Craig T. Nelson
Most public officials work hard to serve the public good and abide by Oregon's ethics laws.
‐‐ Kate Brown
Most public polling continues to be reported on strictly from a topline, horserace-type perspective that does nothing, or at best very little, to illuminate the news of the day.
‐‐ Joel Benenson
Most publishers seem very reluctant to publish short story collections at all; they bring them out in paperback, often disguised as novels.
‐‐ John Sladek
Most pundits regard an election year session as an opportunity for the two parties to frame issues and garner political advantage in advance of the approaching election.
‐‐ Bob Ehrlich
Most quarrels amplify a misunderstanding.
‐‐ Andre Gide
Most quarrels are inevitable at the time; incredible afterwards.
‐‐ E. M. Forster
Most 'reality' shows aren't reality at all. They're game shows with no prize. Like 'Rock of Love.' His aren't genuine feelings. Then again, Bob Barker didn't really care whether or not you won the toaster. Sorry to shatter everyone's dreams.
‐‐ Hal Sparks
Most recently my battle has been against AIDS and the discrimination surrounding it.
‐‐ Ryan White
Most recently, terrorist forces have captured Israeli soldiers and fired rockets into Israeli cities - both unprovoked. These acts of aggression deserve the rapid and decisive response they received.
‐‐ John Boehner
Most recently we've been working in concert situations rather than clubs. because there aren't too many rooms there like Ronnie Scott's, that are pure music rooms, where people come specifically to listen to music.
‐‐ Chuck Mangione
Most redoubted lord and right sovereign cousin, may the Almighty Lord have you in his keeping.
‐‐ Owen Glendower
Most regular superhero books are designed to go on forever; of course, very few of them do, but the point is they are trying to throw mud against the wall and hope it will stick, and most of it slides off.
‐‐ Garth Ennis
Most religions assume that you find purpose through some agent that sits above or outside the world and imbues it with purpose.
‐‐ Matthew Stewart
Most religions do not make men better, only warier.
‐‐ Elias Canetti
Most religions live from a narrative that shapes their relationship with the divine other, God or the gods, and with the human other, the stranger.
‐‐ Timothy Radcliffe
Most religious people in America fully embrace science. So the argument that religion has some issue with science applies to a small fraction of those who declare that they are religious. They just happen to be a very vocal fraction, so you got the impression that there are more of them than there actually is.
‐‐ Neil deGrasse Tyson
Most religious stories and mythologies have some sort of similar root, some sort of global archetypes.
‐‐ Maynard James Keenan
Most remarks that are worth making are commonplace remarks. The things that makes them worth saying is that we really mean them.
‐‐ Robert Staughton Lynd
Most remember the groundbreaking first in sports; few remember the third or fourth to follow in those tracks. That's not downplaying anyone's achievements but rather recognizing that there comes a time when simply being there is no longer good enough for the record books.
‐‐ LZ Granderson
Most reporters are so transactional rather than strategic.
‐‐ Kara Swisher
Most reporters who come to me get their stories directly from press releases. Very few do what one would consider to be their professional duty.
‐‐ Joey Skaggs
Most Republicans call the show 'The Left Wing.'
‐‐ Allison Janney
Most Republicans have made it very clear they're not interested in raising taxes. They want to reform government.
‐‐ Grover Norquist
Most reputable scientists agree that climate change is real and that the effects are likely to be bad. But nobody can say for sure exactly what 'bad' means. The safest and most equitable way out of this horrific mess is simple: cut fossil-fuel emissions.
‐‐ Michael Specter
Most reputations are not ruined but forgotten.
‐‐ Mason Cooley
Most research into life's murky origin has been carried out by chemists. They've tried a variety of approaches in their attempts to recreate the first steps on the road to life, but little progress has been made. Perhaps that is no surprise, given life's stupendous complexity.
‐‐ Paul Davies
Most researchers sit at a table and read books. My research, since three years old, has been to use my own body.
‐‐ Bikram Choudhury
Most restaurants in most cities, including Washington, are at a sort of mid-level. They're somewhat trendy, or they have some sort of gimmick, or they're somewhat expensive. And they make a lot of money off drinks. I tell people don't go to most of them, unless your goal is just to socialize.
‐‐ Tyler Cowen
Most rich countries have reported increases in happiness as they become richer.
‐‐ Adam Davidson
Most robotic heads have 20 motors. Mine have 32.
‐‐ David Hanson
Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read.
‐‐ Frank Zappa
Most rules that you think are written in stone are just societal. You can change the game and really reach for the stars and make the world a better place.
‐‐ Sebastian Thrun
Most sailing ships take what they call trainees, who pay to be part of the crew. The Picton Castle takes people who are absolutely raw recruits. But you can't just ride along. You're learning to steer the ship, navigation; you're pulling lines, keeping a lookout; in the galley you're cooking.
‐‐ Billy Campbell
Most salespeople would like to think of themselves as being rock stars, but they don't display the talent to match their definition.
‐‐ Jeffrey Gitomer
Most scholarly books we read for the information or insight they contain. But some we return to simply for the pleasure of the author's company.
‐‐ Michael Dirda
Most schools have only a microwave or deep fryer, hardly the tools needed to feed our children real, fresh food.
‐‐ Mark Hyman
Most science fiction is about white men who are 25 to 30, who are very smart, who face a physical problem and solve it.
‐‐ Joe Haldeman
Most science fiction is based on our knowledge now and uses that to project the future.
‐‐ Judith Tarr
Most science fiction, quite frankly, is silly nonsense.
‐‐ Alfred Bester
Most scientific revelations happened after the pursuit of knowledge quit being secret and hermetic.
‐‐ John Perry Barlow
Most scientists like to operate in the context of economy. If you don't need an explanatory principle, don't invoke it.
‐‐ Brian Greene
Most scientists will get serious media exposure about twice in their entire career. And they'll get that because they've actually done an experiment that was interesting.
‐‐ Aubrey de Grey
Most Scots might be able to identify six vegetables - but only two MSPs. There are parts of Scotland where you rarely get more than 40% turnout at the polls. There's a big disconnect there, and I think comedians bridge that gap.
‐‐ Rory Bremner
Most screen violence is tedious.
‐‐ Nick Cave
Most screenplays depend primarily on the vision of a director.
‐‐ Tom Skerritt
Most screenplays I receive are boring, and some are straight-out bad.
‐‐ Max von Sydow
Most scripts are bad. I read a lot of them.
‐‐ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Most scripts that get written in Hollywood don't go anywhere.
