‐‐ Ben E. King
One minute we're over here, the next minute we're doing something completely different. But it's interesting because you are producing so many things you couldn't do with analog.
‐‐ Les Paul
One minute you're a developing athlete trying to get to the top, then the next minute you do well and win a medal somewhere, and then it's all foisted on you. You never know when it's going to happen. You don't think about the media side of things when you're a young athlete trying to do well.
‐‐ Jessica Ennis
One minute you're a slug and the next minute you're a hero, so you don't know what to think.
‐‐ Ed Belfour

One missing child is one too many.
‐‐ John Walsh
One mistake with beginners in writing is, that they think it important to spin out something long. It is a great deal better not to write more than a page or two, unless you have something to say, and can write it correctly.

One moment cannot be the most important.
‐‐ Fiona Shaw
One moment I can be happy and laughing, but then it comes over me. It's my mom.

One moment you appear to be riding the crest of a wave, only to have the rug pulled away from you, bringing you back down to earth with a sickening thud.
‐‐ John Barrow
One month I'll be completely obsessed with Bob Dylan and the next Arcade Fire. I like early Elton John and David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. I listen to a lot of American bands. But I like listening to new bands, too.
‐‐ Tom Odell
One month, two months, I am ready to accept any accord on this point that has the approval of the inspectors.

‐‐ Tom Dumont

One morning every spring, for exactly two minutes, Israel comes to a stop. Pedestrians stand in place, drivers pull over to the side of the road, and nobody speaks, sings, eats, or drinks as the nation pays respect to the victims of the Nazi genocide. From the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea, the only sounds one hears are sirens.

‐‐ Newt Gingrich
One motivation for the 'Soul Train' awards was the grumbling that all of us in the industry have heard about the way black music tends to be viewed as a secondary phenomenon by the other awards shows.

One moves more slowly in heels. Walking fast is neither sexy nor engaging. Nobody notices the people who race around. If you're walking in heels, you've got time. It's much more attractive.
‐‐ Christian Louboutin
One movie I come back to time and again is 'The Hustler.' I don't think there's better dialogue in any film.
‐‐ Simon Kinberg
One movie I think is just terrific is 'Bernie,' with Jack Black and Shirley MacLaine. That was a great surprise to me - so witty, so entertaining, a true story, and I'm not a great Jack Black fan, but he's great in it. I think it's a gem.
