The bridge to Coronado Island off San Diego was built because the mob had a hotel there and needed a way to get people out there.

The Brigham Young University (BYU) campus was just a few blocks from my home and tuition was minimal.
‐‐ Paul D. Boyer
The bright future is that readers are accepting more varied forms of stories.
‐‐ Chuck Palahniuk
The brighter you are, the more you have to learn.
‐‐ Don Herold
The brightest flashes in the world of thought are incomplete until they have been proven to have their counterparts in the world of fact.
‐‐ John Tyndall
The brilliance of Adam Scott is that he is so damn funny in a straight man role.
‐‐ Rob Thomas
The brilliance of Max Brooks is that he always quotes authorities at the back of his books that never existed. Like a Russian professor he made up that validates a story or character.
‐‐ Mel Brooks
The brilliant thing about swimming is that, while you're doing it, there's nothing else you could be getting on with, like the ironing or sorting out the children. My mind goes into free-float mode; some of the best ideas for plots come into my head while I'm ploughing up and down the pool.

The bringing-about of order is the first and fundamental task of government. We accept limits on our rights for the sake of a larger social compact all the time.
‐‐ Jon Meacham
The Bristol Channel was always my guide, and I was always able to draw an imaginary line from my bed to our house over in Wales. It was a great comfort.
‐‐ Roald Dahl
The Britain I know is the Britain of Jo Cox. The Britain where people are tolerant and not prejudiced, and where people hate hate.
‐‐ Gordon Brown
The British 'A Night to Remember' is so beautifully done and so well-constructed.
‐‐ Robert Osborne
The British actors I've met and worked with have all been very supportive of each other.
‐‐ Douglas Booth
The British and French governments have taken a strong stance against 'extremist content' online when addressing their approach to tackling extremism.
‐‐ Maajid Nawaz
The British, and most European countries, have struggled to accommodate Muslim immigrants, but they have nevertheless welcomed them in large numbers.
‐‐ Jay Parini
The British are actually a lot more appreciative of the comic. In Canada, if you're perceived as a comic writer, there's a real snobbery, and you can't be serious. You're not a big hitter.
‐‐ Miriam Toews
The British are coming. One if by land, two if by sea.
‐‐ Paul Revere
The British are so funny.
‐‐ Rose Byrne
The British are so funny. It's like they can't believe I lived in Hackney. 'You could live in Bondi Beach. Why would you want to live in 'Ackney?' But Hackney's fantastic. I'm serious. There are so many artists there. I loved the markets, the parks, the pubs, the diversity. It was a cultural melting-pot.
‐‐ Rose Byrne
The British are supposed to be particularly averse to intellectuals, a prejudice closely bound up with their dislike of foreigners. Indeed, one important source of this Anglo-Saxon distaste for highbrows and eggheads was the French revolution, which was seen as an attempt to reconstruct society on the basis of abstract rational principles.
‐‐ Terry Eagleton
The British are very stubborn. The Queen, the Commonwealth, and the special relationship with the U.S. is much more important than Europe.
‐‐ Helmut Schmidt
The British ballads became a new kind of form in their hand. And out of them came the blues, a new kind of song of commentary and satire, a song form which, after all, has become the main musical form of the whole human species.
‐‐ Alan Lomax
The British bombing of Caen beginning on D-Day in particular was stupid, counter-productive and above all very close to a war crime.
‐‐ Antony Beevor
The British cinema had been very dull and conformist.
‐‐ Karel Reisz
The British claim to have a special relationship with the U.S., but if you mention this in Washington, no one knows what you are talking about.
‐‐ Helmut Schmidt
The British do not expect happiness. I had the impression, all the time that I lived there, that they do not want to be happy; they want to be right.
‐‐ Quentin Crisp
The British don't runaway from terrorism. We have had 30-odd years of terrorism in our own country from the Irish Republican Army. We're used to it.
‐‐ John Major
The British economy of the future must be built not on the shifting sands of boom and bust, but on the bedrock of prudent and wise economic management for the long term. It is only these firm foundations that we can raise Britain's underlying economic performance.
‐‐ Gordon Brown
The British electors will not vote for a man who does not wear a hat.
‐‐ Max Aitken
The British Empire passed quickly and with less humiliation than its French and Dutch counterparts, but decades later, the vicious politics of partition still seems to define India and Pakistan.
‐‐ Pankaj Mishra
The British fans are very intense, maybe even more so than fans in the U.S.! They're great.
‐‐ Austin Mahone
The British Fashion Awards gives us the chance to commend not only the winners but celebrate all of the individuals that contribute to the incredible achievements that make London the best fashion destination in the world.
‐‐ Natalie Massenet
The British feel of blues has been hard, rather than emotional. Far too much emphasis on 12 bar, too little attention to words, far too little originality.
‐‐ Alexis Korner
The British film industry has always tried to sell itself as something rather sophisticated. It's almost as if it thinks it is by royal command. It has always tried to claim the high ground, not only over Hollywood but over the whole of humanity!
‐‐ Peter Capaldi
The British Government and the Irish Government have accepted very clearly the Mitchell Report.
‐‐ Dick Spring
The British government says that for Sinn Fein to be involved in talks the guns must be left at the door.
‐‐ Martin McGuinness
The British Government very naturally would like to see in India the form of democratic constitutions it knows best and thinks best, under which the Government of the country is entrusted to one or other political party in accordance with the turn of elections.
‐‐ Muhammad Ali Jinnah
The British have a remarkable talent for keeping calm, even when there is no crisis.
‐‐ Franklin P. Jones
The British have a unique relationship with horses. They are etched into our landscape in chalk, they have been written about, painted, sung about, celebrated and gambled upon for centuries.
‐‐ Clare Balding
The British have always coped without becoming a dictatorship.
‐‐ Frederick Forsyth
The British have always made terrible parents.
‐‐ Rachel Cusk
The British have been particularly shy about the issues of financial regulation, and attentive only to the interests of the City - hence their reluctance to see the introduction of a tax on financial transactions and tax harmonisation in Europe.
‐‐ Francois Hollande
The British have given me good support for the last 8 years and have always believed in me.
‐‐ Jonathan Brown
The British have slang words, as we do, but it was fun.
‐‐ Dennis Farina
The British have turned their sense of humour into a national virtue. It is odd, because through much of history, humour has been considered cheap, and laughter something for the lower orders. But British aristocrats didn't care a damn about what people thought of them, so they made humour acceptable.
‐‐ Theodore Zeldin
The British health care system is a blueprint for the failure of Obamacare, as it is structured.
‐‐ Marsha Blackburn
The British, I have discovered, assume that Americans are more religious than they are.
‐‐ Stanley Hauerwas
The British invasion was the most important event of my life. I was in New Jersey and the night I saw the Beatles changed everything. I had seen Elvis before and he had done nothing for me, but these guys were in a band.
‐‐ Steven Van Zandt
The British invented the classic look. Men's apparel was created in London, the great English style. You have to respect this country's suits, shirts, shoes, luggage.
‐‐ Mickey Drexler
The British Isles are awash with the choice of beautiful historic churches, abbeys, and cathedrals where one king or another has tied the knot and bestowed a royal precedent.
