Osama bin Laden, the Saudi-born revolutionary who is believed by most Arab and Iranian observers to be the inspiration of the attacks in New York and Washington, is the best known of the Islamic militants to have emerged in the past 20 years and the least difficult to fathom.

Oscar always opens up doors, especially the night of the Oscars. On that night, you hold that gold man, and it's like having Gandalf's staff. You can go anywhere and do anything. It's a talisman of such power.
‐‐ Alex Gibney
Oscar Charleston was the Willie Mays of his day. Nobody ever played center field better than Willie Mays. Suppose they had never given Willie a chance, and we said that, would anybody believe there was a kid in Alabama who was that good? Or there was a black guy in Atlanta who might break Babe Ruth's home run record? No.
‐‐ Monte Irvin
Oscar Hammerstein was a surrogate father during all those many days, and weeks and months when I didn't see my own father.
‐‐ Stephen Sondheim
Oscar is the exact opposite of how I think you should behave. I just think of it as a negative view of the positive mind I have. Big Bird is sweet and nice and also sympathetic, as kids can identify with him even though he looks like such a bizarre character - great 8 feet 2 inches, a beak 18 inches long.
‐‐ Caroll Spinney
Oscar night is a ridiculous night where you go to these parties and you see everyone that you've ever wanted to work with and admire.
‐‐ Jordana Brewster
'Oscar Wao' for example cohered in a period of terrible distress. All the novels that I wanted to write were not happening.
‐‐ Junot Diaz
Oscar Wilde always makes me smile - with respect and admiration. His short stories prove that it is possible to be both sarcastic, even cynical, but deeply compassionate. Just seeing the cover of one of Wilde's books in a bookshop makes me smile.
‐‐ Orhan Pamuk
Oscar Wilde: 'Do you mind if I smoke?' Sarah Bernhardt: 'I don't care if you burn.'
‐‐ Sarah Bernhardt
Oscar Wilde said the rich and the poor are equal - they can both sleep under the bridge. Right? Do they have a right? You're damn right they have a right!
‐‐ Al Lewis
Oscar Wilde turned the world upside down and was able to laugh at it, and hopefully by the time I'm 120 and worn out, that's what I will achieve. I love being alive so much.
‐‐ John Lydon
Oscars are won with two or three shots only, because if it's really beautifully photographed, you don't really notice it until the astounding moment emphasizes it.
‐‐ Nicolas Roeg
OSHA had come in and looked at the channel 5 studios and it sort of had something to do with wrestling, but they found that there were some safety concerns that had to be addressed.
‐‐ Jerry Lawler
Ossie Davis was a man with great integrity, great honor and someone who I feel has done us all a great service just by being on the Earth.
‐‐ Bill Cobbs
Ostensibly rigorous and realistic, contemporary conservatism is an ideology of denial. Its symbol is a smile button.
‐‐ Christopher Lasch
Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy.
‐‐ Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Osteoporosis, as the third threat, is particularly attributable to women's physiology.
‐‐ Gro Harlem Brundtland
Osteoporosis is a disease that attacks the bones in your body. It happens to really almost everyone when they get really old. But for women, after menopause, they can lose up to 30 percent of their bone mass.

OT Genasis is my L.A. homie; I've seen him grind, and he is still making hits.
‐‐ Ty Dolla Sign
'Othello' is the most domestic of Shakespeare's tragedies and the one that's likely to strike a personal note with a lot of people watching it.
‐‐ Andrew Davies
'Othello' was my first Shakespearean discovery. I was obsessed with drama at school, and I studied the play for my English GCSE. Desdemona is the part that everyone wants, but Iago's wife Emilia is the one I've always been drawn to.
‐‐ Michelle Dockery
Other acting opportunities had come along, but nothing that was tantalizing enough to me to step away from what I found most interesting.
‐‐ Fred Savage
Other actors are not my concern, and that's their life and that's their journey. Everybody has to get to a point in their own time and their own way.
‐‐ Zachary Quinto
Other actors don't get asked about their brothers or sisters, so why do I have to always answer questions about having a twin brother? I suppose it's interesting for everybody other than me.
‐‐ Luke Treadaway
Other actors like to rehearse on film-they like 30 or 40 takes. When you get an actor like that, it becomes difficult for me because I'm ready to quit after number two.
‐‐ Richard Widmark
Other bands gave us lip service, but when it came down to it they kind of backed off. That was a little disheartening. But I respect them. That's their business.
‐‐ Mike McCready
Other brands I like besides Versace... Tom Ford makes incredible suits. I love the glasses as well. I have a plethora of Tom Ford shades. Who else do I like? Dolce & Gabbana, Dior Homme.
‐‐ Trey Songz
Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.
‐‐ Dennis Bergkamp
Other composers have taken this particular technique much further than I in the meantime, with the result that the Law of Diminishing Returns has begun to apply.
‐‐ Brian Ferneyhough
Other countries around the world make employees and retirees first in the priority. For example, in Mexico, the bankruptcy laws say if a company wants to go bankrupt... obligations to employees and retirees will have a first priority. That has an effect on every negotiation that takes place with every company in Mexico.
‐‐ Elizabeth Warren
Other countries have been founded by 'accidents of force.' America is a creation of thought.
‐‐ Dinesh D'Souza
Other countries, such as Israel, successfully employ behavior detection techniques at their airports, but the bloated, ineffective bureaucracy of TSA has produced another security failure for U.S. transportation systems.
‐‐ John Mica
Other dances are like languages, like French or Spanish, but my steps are slang, and slang is always changing.
‐‐ Savion Glover
Other dogs may do their jobs in their own unique and perfectly wonderful ways, but there will always be that dog that no dog will replace, the dog that will make you cry even when it's been gone for more years than it could ever have lived.
‐‐ Meghan Daum
Other effects in the show included models of the ships which were extremely expensive to make. We used to do our shots in front of a blue screen and they'd put the effects on after.
‐‐ Gil Gerard
Other families bought automobiles; we had a horse-headed hitching post in front of our house and drove horses.
‐‐ Paul Engle
Other families who are poor do what they can to get out of it. My mother did not. She did not utilise her resources. She had a degree. There was something she could have done, but she actively, purposely refused that so we could have this absolutely authentic experience of the worst of capitalism: 'See? Look how bad capitalism is.'
‐‐ Said Sayrafiezadeh
Other famous men, those of much talk and few deeds, soon evaporate. Action is the dignity of greatness.
‐‐ Jose Marti
Other female rappers are overly sexual, have no wit, and their lyrics are so generic. I want to change the game to make rap that shows I'm not a normal female rapper - it's not about how rich I am, how much sex I have, or how many boyfriends I have. That's just not me.
‐‐ Awkwafina
Other filmmakers make their movies and put them out and that's that. For me, for some odd reason, it goes deeper than that.
‐‐ Kevin Smith
Other kids could read, other kids could write, other kids could spell, they could do math. I felt like an alien. I felt like an outcast. I felt like, 'What is going to happen to me?'
‐‐ R. Kelly
Other kids did drugs; I did crafts. I never knew where I fit in.
‐‐ Kathie Lee Gifford
Other kids had more talent, but I was the most focused.
‐‐ Nadia Comaneci
Other kids' parents wouldn't let them read magazines like 'Weird Tales,' but my folks were big readers themselves, so they didn't mind.
‐‐ Robert Weinberg
Other kids went out and beat each other up or played baseball, and I built electronics.
‐‐ Robert Moog
Other kids would sneak out of the house to go to parties and do untoward things. I was sneaking out to do standup downtown. It paid off.
‐‐ Hal Sparks
Other kinds of movie stars, it's a different thing, they bring their persona to the part and that's what people like to see, and they are not really transforming in terms of their character.
‐‐ Joel Coen
Other lands may have their charms, and the sunny skies of other climes may be regretted, but it is with pride and gladness that the wanderer sets foot again on British soil, thanking God for the religion and the liberty which have made this weather-beaten island in a northern sea to be the light and glory of the world.
‐‐ Isabella Bird
Other men have created FTSE 100 companies. But I believe no man has done this in his lifetime without acquisition or borrowing. My one regret is handing over the reigns.
