The north of Sweden is very socialist and poor. They feel left out and despise Stockholm in many ways because Stockholm has become new liberals and much more Americanized.
‐‐ Joel Kinnaman
The north of the Central African Republic is now a war zone, with rival armed bands burning villages, kidnapping children, robbing travelers and killing people with impunity.
‐‐ Nicholas D. Kristof
The North Pole will be ice-free during summer in years to come, and that itself will put the Arctic Sea basin on a very high risk of... environmental disasters that might be there.
‐‐ Aleqa Hammond
The North Sea was supposed to run out in the 1980s. Then in the 1990s. And now production is still on-line.
‐‐ Daniel Yergin
The north-south line of 'the mountains,' meaning the Cascade Range, forty miles east of Seattle, is a rigid political frontier.
‐‐ Jonathan Raban
The North understand it better - they have told us for twenty years that their object was to pen up slavery within its present limits - surround it with a border of free States, and like the scorpion surrounded with fire, they will make it sting itself to death.
‐‐ Robert Toombs
The Northern idea of form is more of a process. The various units of the form overlap. You can't tell where some things stop and new things start. This is typical of Sibelius.
‐‐ Esa-Pekka Salonen
The northern part of Sweden is considered more isolated, not so sociable, not so educated, more unemployment, very working-class, and people drink more than rest of Sweden; that's the kind of area I'm from.
‐‐ Asa Larsson
The Northwest is in better shape than it was eight years ago.
‐‐ Bruce Babbitt
The nose of a mob is its imagination. By this, at any time, it can be quietly led.
‐‐ Edgar Allan Poe
'The Notebook' gets me every time. It's a great love story. Boy from the wrong side of the tracks. They get on each other's nerves, but they can't live without each other. It almost makes me shed a tear.
‐‐ Michael Strahan
'The Notebook' is one of my favorite love stories.
‐‐ Taylor Schilling
'The Notebook' was beautiful, and I was crying because its hero and heroine had died together.
‐‐ R. Kelly
'The Notebook' wrecks me! I cry like a 6-year-old girl at the end.
‐‐ Matt Barr
The notes are right, but if I listened they would be wrong.
‐‐ Eugene Ormandy
The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes ah, that is where the art resides.
‐‐ Artur Schnabel
The notes I have made are not a diary in the ordinary sense, but partly lengthy records of my spiritual experiences, and partly poems in prose.
‐‐ Edvard Munch
The notion of a contemporary epiphany to me is very exciting, because it's a sort of biblical thing. It's something that has happened to people in other centuries or in the context of religious experience.
‐‐ Pamela Stephenson
The notion of a neutral, mainstream national media gained dominance only in World War II and in its aftermath, when what turned out to be a temporary moderate consensus came to govern the country.
‐‐ Howard Fineman
The notion of a universality of human experience is a confidence trick and the notion of a universality of female experience is a clever confidence trick.
‐‐ Angela Carter
The notion of a writer sitting in a library doing research isn't what I want. The research I love doing isn't found in a book. It's what it feels like to rappel down the side of a building; to train with a SWAT team; to hold a human brain in your hands; or to dive for pirate treasure. Those are things I've done to research my stories.
‐‐ Marcus Sakey
The notion of American exceptionalism is effective in part because there is little on the face of it that is offensive.
‐‐ Russ Feingold
The notion of artistic responsibility begs questions with no satisfactory conclusions, the most inevitable and ineffectual being that we should just keep thinking and talking about it, given that the alternative - a governmental body monitoring the movies we make and see - is unacceptable.
‐‐ Steve Erickson
The notion of being on a cop show was appealing, just because it's one of those tick boxes in a career.
‐‐ Dallas Roberts
The notion of directing a film is the invention of critics - the whole eloquence of cinema is achieved in the editing room.
‐‐ Orson Welles
The notion of getting the general public into low-Earth orbit I don't think is far-fetched at all.
‐‐ Brian Binnie
The notion of getting under the hood and explaining how something works, that's fairly familiar territory to me.
‐‐ Scott McCloud
The notion of having work-life harmony in a highly competitive economy is a first-class topic.
‐‐ Satya Nadella
The notion of 'history from below' hit the history profession in England very hard around the time I came to Oxford in the early 1960s.
‐‐ Robert Darnton
The notion of looking on at life has always been hateful to me. What am I if I am not a participant? In order to be, I must participate.
‐‐ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The notion of making money by popular work, and then retiring to do good work, is the most familiar of all the devil's traps for artists.
‐‐ Logan Pearsall Smith
The notion of our leaders as patrician ascetics of unassailable virtue is risible.
‐‐ Nick Harkaway
The notion of overnight stardom is really dangerous. For almost every person who has success in this business, there are years and years of hard work to get there. To have longevity, you really have to train, and you really have to work.
‐‐ Caitlin Fitzgerald
The notion of 'reduce and refine' is one I've pursued. I truly believe that by making things less complex, by finding innovative ways to make sustainability affordable, we can advance the notion that it is possible.
‐‐ Yves Behar
The notion of religious liberty is that you cannot be forced to participate in a religious ceremony that's not of your choosing simply because you're out-voted.
‐‐ Ira Glasser
The notion of the infinite variety of detail and the multiplicity of forms is a pleasing one; in complexity are the fringes of beauty, and in variety are generosity and exuberance.
‐‐ Annie Dillard
The notion of the Internet as a force of political and social revolution is not a new one. As far back as the early 1990s, in the early days of the World Wide Web, there were technologists and writers arguing forcefully that the Internet was destined to become the most important tool for cultural change in human history.
‐‐ Jamais Cascio
The notion of the large, massive public university that can exist in isolated splendor is dead.
‐‐ Gordon Gee
The notion of the single man began in the 1950's. The idea of the bachelor as a separate life was new and obscure.
‐‐ Hugh Hefner
The notion of the world as a village is becoming a reality.
‐‐ James Wolfensohn
The notion of time bothers me. You look at thirty-year-old photographs and realize how the time has passed.
‐‐ Christian Lacroix
The notion of 'we' is very important. I think, for any family, any community to be able to say 'we' in this family, it means something. It's dangerous to society when somebody will place himself or herself on the outside of 'we.'
‐‐ Jonas Gahr Store
The notion of 'world leadership' is a curiously archaic one. The very phrase is redolent of Kipling ballads and James Bondian adventures. What makes a country a world leader? Is it population, in which case India is on course to top the charts, overtaking China as the world's most populous country by 2034?
‐‐ Shashi Tharoor
The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying. This is America, not Saudi Arabia.
‐‐ Anna Wintour
The notion that aid can alleviate systemic poverty, and has done so, is a myth. Millions in Africa are poorer today because of aid; misery and poverty have not ended but increased. Aid has been, and continues to be, an unmitigated political, economic, and humanitarian disaster for most parts of the developing world.
‐‐ Dambisa Moyo
The notion that anything can be invented wholly and that these invented things are classified as 'fiction' and that other writing, presumably not made up, is called 'nonfiction' strikes me as a very arbitrary separation of things.
‐‐ James Salter
The notion that before you even set out to go to Thailand, you say, 'I'm not interested,' or you're unwilling to try things that people take so personally and are so proud of and so generous with, I don't understand that, and I think it's rude. You're at Grandma's house, you eat what Grandma serves you.
‐‐ Anthony Bourdain
The notion that Congress can change the meaning given a constitutional provision by the Court is subversive of the function of judicial review; and it is not the less so because the Court promises to allow it only when the Constitution is moved to the left.
‐‐ Robert Bork
The notion that Cuba is the only country in the world where you can live without working must be erased forever.
‐‐ Raul Castro
