One day, the infielders were having a pretty bad time and were making some bad throws to me at first base. After digging a few out of the dirt, Joe Orengo called over to me, 'Atta boy, John, you look like a big cat.' Some of the writers overheard the remark and asked Joe about it later. The nickname has stuck with me ever since.

One day, the people who work in my kitchen stir-fried chopped Napa cabbage to serve with some meat or fish for their own dinner. I got to thinking: 'What if the cabbage was the most important thing on the plate?'
‐‐ Nobu Matsuhisa
One day there'll be no need for me. I'm actually hoping to put myself out of business.
‐‐ Michael Moore
One day there were two out in the ninth, and I hit a pop fly so high that the fans got tired of waiting for it to come down. So they all went home and listened to it drop by turning on the radio.
‐‐ Ted Lyons
One day, though, I was asked if I'd like to go to the University of Florida and become a Gator.
‐‐ Jack Youngblood
One day we are a hero, another day we are a zero. Without me, Cardiff would have gone bust. Because of my investment, we got promoted.
‐‐ Vincent Tan
One day, we had a layoff at my job. And I went to my boss, and I said, 'Please save someone else's job. This is a win-win situation for the company and me - and just lay me off.' I did that in around 2003, and I never looked back. I became a full-time comic.
‐‐ Loni Love
One day, we'll have 10, 20 or 50 Jaleos around America or around the world.
‐‐ Jose Andres
One day we're going to look back at $1,700 with nostalgia. People are going to be shocked at how inexpensive gold was when it could be snapped up for such a bargain price.
‐‐ Peter Schiff
One day, we were doing a serious scene and fast talking like we do and we could not stop laughing and the director had to stop the production. We had to go to our trailer and calm down and do it all again.
‐‐ Victor Garber
One day we were sitting in our little classroom in the middle of Australia Zoo, and Dad bursts in and says, 'OK, today we're going to go climb a mountain,' - the Glass House Mountains are about 20 minutes away - so we packed up all our math work and ran out the door and climbed Mount Tibrogargan.
‐‐ Bindi Irwin
One day we will have more inflation, and our bonds will bleed like a pig. The only reason for buying long bonds is short-term or as a desperate haven for terrorized investors. But the potential to make longer-term real money is naught.
‐‐ Jeremy Grantham
One day when I have a band I will have a band name, but since it's just me I feel it should just be my name. For me it doesn't make much sense since the music is from me and about me. I haven't ever been in a band.
‐‐ Sharon Van Etten
One day when I was 16, I rode my bike to the nearby DMV office to get my driver's permit. Some of my friends already had their licenses, so I figured it was time. But when I handed the clerk my green card as proof of U.S. residency, she flipped it around, examining it. 'This is fake,' she whispered. 'Don't come back here again.'
‐‐ Jose Antonio Vargas
One day, when I was 33, I shifted. I suddenly saw acting as a higher calling. I understood that my goal was to serve the play. And I realized if an actor can make audiences' hearts resonate or make them question their values - that's an important thing to do!
‐‐ Laila Robins
One day when I was 8 years old, everyone was talking in hushed tones about a great scientist that had just died. His name was Albert Einstein.
‐‐ Michio Kaku
One day when I was like 9, I heard the Beatles on the radio, and I asked my dad who they were. He told me they were the best band in the world, and I became obsessed. He started giving me their albums in sequential order, and I listened to them - and only them - until I was probably in high school.
‐‐ Lukas Haas
One day, when I was still living at home, a friend told 'Texas' Jean Valli about me. She was originally from Syracuse, N.Y., and lived in New Jersey but sang country. One night, she had me come up on stage where she was performing. I sang 'My Mother's Eyes,' and she was knocked out.
‐‐ Frankie Valli
One day, when my son was eight, he came into the kitchen while I was cooking and said: 'You put bad words in your books, don't you?' No doubt he had overheard my mother, who often tells people who ask about my work: 'Well, you'll never find her books in the Christian bookstore.'
‐‐ Jill McCorkle
One day, when this modeling thing is over for me and I don't enjoy it anymore, I'm just gonna be gone! You know? I'm not here for fame or money. I'm not going to stick around and pretend everything is cool if I'm over it. When it's done, I'm out. Ciao.
‐‐ Mariacarla Boscono
One day, when we were coming back from school, we saw this big cloud of smoke coming up, and all these fire-trucks in the yard. The garage was burning down. I was 14, and we'd lost everything.

One day you are happy and laughing and the next you are crying.
‐‐ Grete Waitz
One day, you have a father who's always around, and then the next day, he's gone. I was too young to comprehend that. I actually thought he was going to come back.
‐‐ Michelle Phan
One day you look out and the audience consists of 65,000 people. It's like looking in the mirror and one day you realise you've gone grey.
‐‐ Patrick Carney
One day, you might look up and see me playing the game at 50. Don't laugh. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.
‐‐ Michael Jordan
One day, you're a nobody, and the next, you're in a movie that everybody is talking about. But Hollywood has a way of knocking you back down to Earth.
‐‐ Patrick Fugit
One death is a tragedy, and a million deaths are a statistic.
‐‐ Nicholas Kristof
One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.
‐‐ Joseph Stalin
One death to a man is a serious thing: a dozen neutralize one another.
‐‐ Richard Francis Burton
One decision I made in writing 'Henry and Clara' was that I would keep Lincoln's appearances and any dialogue by him to an absolute minimum, because I think readers don't quite believe it when novelists have Lincoln walking around and saying things. They just know they're in the presence of stage machinery.
‐‐ Thomas Mallon
One declaims endlessly against the passions; one imputes all of man's suffering to them. One forgets that they are also the source of all his pleasures.
‐‐ Denis Diderot
One definition of eternity is that we are not alone on this planet, that there are those who've gone before and those who will come, and that there is a community of spirits.
‐‐ Rita Dove
One definition of noir is where a not-so-good man or woman tries to touch something good - and fails.
‐‐ S. J. Rozan
One demonstration of extremists, any more than a Ku Klux Klan demonstration in the United States, is not necessarily reflective of what the rest of the country feels.
‐‐ Leon Panetta
One difference between film noir and more straightforward crime pictures is that noir is more open to human flaws and likes to embed them in twisty plot lines.
‐‐ Roger Ebert
One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music.
‐‐ Stephen Sondheim
One difficulty in making the Senate work the way it was intended is that America's electorate is increasingly divided into red and blue states, with lawmakers representing just one color or the other.
‐‐ Olympia Snowe
One Direction are super cool.
‐‐ Dionne Bromfield
One Direction is the main thing I'm doing and I'm 100 per cent dedicated to the group.
‐‐ Zayn Malik
One Direction. Proper pop band. There has to be a band that people want to scream at. I don't think I've ever behaved like a pop star.
‐‐ Chris Lowe
One Direction? The young girls will grow up and forget about 'em.
‐‐ Jake Bugg
One disadvantage of being a hog is that at any moment some blundering fool may try to make a silk purse out of your wife's ear.
‐‐ J. B. Morton
One disco, one soft ball game, one lost love, one gay pride rally at a time.
‐‐ Jasmine Guy
One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite - that particular peach is but a detail.
‐‐ Pablo Picasso
One does afford oneself the luxury to come into the studio and all day, every day, spend one's life making aesthetic propositions. What an immense luxury.
‐‐ Anish Kapoor
One does, after all, take on many of the givens of a society when one takes on its language.
‐‐ Alma Guillermoprieto
One does not allow the plumbers to decide the temperature, depth and timing of a bath.
‐‐ Jack Gould
One does not arrest Voltaire.
‐‐ Charles de Gaulle
One does not become a guru by accident.
‐‐ James Fenton
One does not become an atheist out of a desire for hassle-free Sunday mornings. People come to atheism because they have a problem with organized religion - usually a problem they consider to be of moral urgency.
