One would like to say in the aftermath of the 2008 election that everyone lived happily ever after. But the American drama, especially when it involves race, is always more complicated than that.

One would think that in writing about literary men and matters there would be no difficulty in finding a title for one's essay, or that any embarrassment which might arise would be from excess of material. I find this, however, far from being the case.
‐‐ James Payn
One would think that it would be very easy, with an iconic character like James Bond, to keep making the films, but it hasn't been. But, it sure has been entertaining and rewarding.
‐‐ Barbara Broccoli
One would think that people who insist on being monotheistic would be the first in line to walk across the artificial boundaries created by nation states, class systems, cultures and even religions. But often they are the last!
‐‐ Richard Rohr
One would think that plants belonging to the same genus would always produce identical or at least similar oils. But this is by no means so.
‐‐ Otto Wallach
One wouldn't want to have the same dilemmas at 50 as one had at 15. And indeed I don't. I have a very different take on life.
‐‐ Annie Lennox
One writes fables in periods of oppression.
‐‐ Italo Calvino
One writes to make a home for oneself, on paper, in time and in others' minds.
‐‐ Alfred Kazin
One writes to memorialize, and to bring to life again that which has been lost.
‐‐ Joyce Carol Oates
One writes what one can, or has to, write.

One wrong move, and you destroy your career.
‐‐ Joel Edgerton
One year after the United States led the invasion of Iraq, the country remains extremely dangerous not only to our troops, but also to the stability of the world.
‐‐ Jay Rockefeller
One year, I was a go-go girl for Halloween, and I got all this glitter eye shadow, my hair was poufy with braids, I was wearing all these different colors and fake eyelashes that went all the way up to my eyebrows. I totally enjoy the whole Halloween feel.
‐‐ Olivia Holt
One year, I was a patron of a new opera. It was, to put it kindly, unpleasant to the ear. The friends I went with hated it. Keeping quiet about my contribution, I was outed when one of them, reading the program at the restaurant during dinner, saw my name.
‐‐ Karen DeCrow
One year, I was nominated for entertainer of the year, and I didn't think I deserved it.
‐‐ Miranda Lambert
One year, my family and I dressed up in the theme of 'Wizard of Oz' for Halloween. We all went as the different characters. I was the Tin Man!
‐‐ Luke Benward
One year, my good deed started with deciding to give all my friends makeup from a cruelty-free cosmetics line that I love. I did this with the hope that they would love it as much as I do and end up switching their makeup over to that cruelty-free line forever.
‐‐ Jenna Morasca
One year's poor form remains a blip but if it happens next year, you can say it's a trend.
‐‐ Gary Neville
One year they asked me to be poster boy - for birth control.
‐‐ Rodney Dangerfield
One year was so bad for me and my wife that we were going to have to sell our house until Elaine decided to change career and earn some money.
‐‐ Peter Capaldi
One year, we tried to deep-fry a turkey. It must have been really humid outside, because the temperature of the oil got thrown off. It ended up being slow-cooked in oil - black on the outside and raw on the inside.
‐‐ Chrissy Teigen
One year you go in for auditions, and everybody thinks you're the queen of comedy, and the next year, you're so 'yesterday,' and it's not because you've done anything, or your ability has changed; you haven't been in work because you've been putting on weight and then trying to lose it.
‐‐ Sally Phillips
'One Yellow Daffodil' is both a look to the past and to the future and expresses my belief in the great spirit and strength of our children.
‐‐ David A. Adler
Ones reputation is like a shadow, it is gigantic when it precedes you, and a pigmy in proportion when it follows.
‐‐ Charles Maurice de Talleyrand
Onion rings in the car cushions do not improve with time.
‐‐ Erma Bombeck
Onions, along with leeks, garlic, shallots and scallions, make up the allium family of vegetables, which can have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular and immune systems, as well as possible anti-diabetic and anti-cancer effects.
‐‐ Joel Fuhrman
Onions and bacon cooking up just makes your kitchen smell so good. In fact, one day I'm going to come up with a room deodorizer that smells like bacon and onions. It's a fabulous smell.
‐‐ Paula Deen
Online advertising is display plus search.
‐‐ David Filo
Online advertising is increasingly only a fraction of what is being lost from print advertising, and it is under constant pressure.
‐‐ Rupert Murdoch
Online advertising may not be much more successful than an old double-barrel, but - like a good spray of buckshot - it makes up for its lack of accuracy with sheer volume. There are 10 unique ads listed with every Gmail message in your queue, each tied to the message content. And a paying sponsor.
‐‐ Douglas Rushkoff
Online advertising works, although it lands especially on search engines like Google and Yahoo. They achieve much higher revenues online than the websites of publishing companies.
‐‐ Hubert Burda
Online bullying has to stop.
‐‐ LeAnn Rimes
Online business models are still evolving. New and different products and services pop up every day. This gives rise to supporting products and services. A business can make substantial profit by helping others execute their plans for making money.
‐‐ Marc Ostrofsky
Online communities are an expression of loneliness.
‐‐ Joanne Harris
Online console gaming will continue to grow at a healthy pace.
‐‐ Trip Hawkins
Online crime is practically always international, because they almost always cross traditional national borders.
‐‐ Mikko Hypponen
Online education that leaves almost everybody behind except for highly motivated students, to me, can't be a viable path to education.
‐‐ Sebastian Thrun
Online education, then, can serve two goals. For students lucky enough to have access to great teachers, blended learning can mean even better outcomes at the same or lower cost. And for the millions here and abroad who lack access to good, in-person education, online learning can open doors that would otherwise remain closed.
‐‐ Daphne Koller
Online fundraising is so important to the Democratic Party.
‐‐ John Byrne
Online games for data-mining have a short virtual shelf life. People get bored, especially if the game seems stagnant.
‐‐ Peter Diamandis
Online harassment, especially gendered online harassment, is an epidemic. Women are being driven out; they're being driven offline. This isn't just in gaming. This is happening across the board online, especially with women who participate in or work in male-dominated industries.
‐‐ Anita Sarkeesian
Online hierarchies are inherently dynamic. The moment someone stops adding value to the community, his influence starts to wane.
‐‐ Gary Hamel
Online I see people committing 'social media suicide' all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you're never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don't warrant a response. This lends more credibility by driving traffic.
‐‐ Timothy Ferriss
Online is a revolution. The Internet is a revolution. And we should be revolutionary in the content that we put on it rather than derivative.
‐‐ Shane Smith
Online is ridiculous. Places like Ohio State bring people here together, and students teach each other.
‐‐ Gordon Gee
Online is such a brilliant, brilliant way to connect with young readers - even if they just want to tweet, 'Hey, I read your book!' - that, absolutely, I connect with that. But I also treat writing as solitary and keep it to myself as long as I can.
‐‐ Patrick Ness
Online is such an important platform... it's all one giant melting pot of talents. The times are changing. It's just art now. You can share your audiences with everyone, and it's exciting.
‐‐ Lindsey Stirling
Online media is increasingly influential in fashion.
‐‐ Oscar de la Renta
Online one day, you log in, and you realise, 'This is not me.' Everything you're posting, you're doing it in the context of everything you've posted before. Let's delete everything, save the stuff that's important, and then you only have to organise the one per cent that's worth keeping.
‐‐ Evan Spiegel
Online piracy needs to be dealt with itself, because people are just wholesale stealing people's work and not paying for it. It's very hard to figure out a way to fix it.
