There were no tourists. Beer was illegal. There was only government television and no television on Thursdays or in the summer.

There were no vampires of note in Western literature until about the 18th century. But they tell us where we park our anxieties, whether its over-powerful women, death or damnation. We make our own monsters.
‐‐ Deborah Harkness
There were no weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein was not involved in the September 11th attack.
‐‐ Charles B. Rangel
There were no women's players I knew of. I didn't even know women's hockey existed.
‐‐ Angela Ruggiero
There were not enough women like Kay on TV and now there are none.
‐‐ Melissa Leo
There were not fifteen people in the story department and twenty-five producers and stuff. And Roger had produced 1,000 movies and directed a couple of hundred, and their comments were always very, very specific.
‐‐ John Sayles
There were only 170 neurologists in Britain then and, whether spoken or unspoken, there was this insidious feeling. How can Bannister, a mere athlete, probably spoilt by all the publicity and fame, dare aspire to neurology? But I'd done a lot of research, and my academic record was very good.
‐‐ Roger Bannister
There were only 75 people in my graduating class at the school I attended in Hannah, S.C. It was a small school and that translated into not a lot of opportunities when it came to music. We had academic and sports programs but we never had a consistent music program. We would have a band one year, and a chorus one year, but nothing ever lasted.

There were only a couple of Marvel characters I read. I read 'Iron Man.' I have a lot of those. And this was the time they tried X-Factor out. I was never an X-Men person, but I was like, 'Let me check out X-Factor.' I was more of a DC guy in general.
‐‐ Greg Berlanti
There were only ever two black kids at my school. I never considered myself to be 'a black kid'. I was who I was. Which isn't to say things haven't happened to me that wouldn't have happened if I wasn't black.
‐‐ Daley Thompson
There were only two other Chinese families in this town of 25,000, but to our parents, the determining factor was the quality of the public school system.
‐‐ Steven Chu
There were only two times in my life when I've actually felt down about things and gotten myself into a full mental mess. One of the times was in 1982. I had a horrible time for a few months and felt pretty desperate. Then again in 1984, for various reasons, not all of them within my control. Since then, I just wander in and out of black moods.
‐‐ Robert Smith
There were open source projects and free software before Linux was there. Linux in many ways is one of the more visible and one of the bigger technical projects in this area, and it changed how people looked at it because Linux took both the practical and ideological approach.
‐‐ Linus Torvalds
There were people I know that got upset that I kissed people; I kissed them for luck and love, that's all. That's what my mother did to me. There were people upset that I would embrace or hug someone of another color.
‐‐ Richard Dawson
There were people in Cuba who truly had substantial things to gain from revolution. There were people who had things to lose in the revolution. I think they're all allowed to have their memories of what happened.
‐‐ Rachel Kushner
There were people who had sampled my voice from speeches when I was an Islamist and made them the chorus of pro-Islamist rap songs who then began talking about me as an apostate.
‐‐ Maajid Nawaz
There were people who incorporated melody before me, but I would deem myself the first person to successfully rap and sing.
‐‐ Drake
There were people who said the Society of Cincinnati in the American revolution, of which George Washington was one of the shining lights, was a branch of the Illuminati.
‐‐ Carroll Quigley
There were periods during my childhood when I stammered so badly I couldn't talk at all.
‐‐ Edward Hoagland
There were periods of my life when a lot of people didn't believe in me. I still had faith in myself. I really had to ask myself life questions. Where do I see myself in five years? Create a ladder for yourself, and walk up the steps. Climb that ladder.
‐‐ Fergie
There were periods when I sometimes made fires in a large, open fireplace that lasted about two weeks, which was how long it took to burn my compositions. So there has been an awful lot that I have destroyed.
‐‐ Alan Hovhaness
There were periods when the art market got overheated, but there is no reason it should appreciate dramatically.
‐‐ Eli Broad
There were plenty of other hominids, but they disappeared, probably because humans exterminated them, but nobody knows for sure.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
There were plenty of reasons to suspect Obamacare might have been a colossal failure - although none of them had to do with death panels, huge lines for treatment, a government takeover of health care, etc.
‐‐ Kurt Eichenwald
There were probably a few games I played where I should not have played, because of some nagging injuries or something. I used to always talk the managers into playing me, because I wanted to play so badly.
‐‐ Gary Carter
There were probably about five games in my career where everything was moving in slow motion and you could be out there all day, totally in the zone, and you don't even know where you are on the field, everything is just totally blocked out.
‐‐ Lawrence Taylor
There were probably, what, 300 science-fiction members in the SFWA, of whom probably a hundred were active members in the sense that they were selling something every year, or every couple years.
‐‐ Jerry Pournelle
There were questions I didn't have the answers to, and I was trying to figure it out. I remember staying up until 4 A.M. reading the Bible and praying.
‐‐ Burgess Owens
There were real reasons that you were attracted to somebody originally. The brain doesn't pick willy-nilly. Unless you part ways hating each other for some reason, that mechanism could get triggered again. You can literally fall in love again.
‐‐ Helen Fisher
There were riots in just about every game we played with Syracuse.
‐‐ Bob Cousy
There were rumors I wasn't going to die. The whole cast was sitting around the table reading the script. I fell on the floor - I'm not kidding. I looked up at Katherine Heigl, and she was crying.
‐‐ Jeffrey Dean Morgan
There were scenes that just for length purposes, and knowing that the attention span of kids is not great, don't make it much longer than about 90 minutes.
‐‐ John Badham
There were seven kids in our family. My mom had seven kids in 10 years. So you had to learn how to talk and think fast if you wanted to be heard.
‐‐ Bonnie Hunt
There were several possible solutions of the difficulty of classical electrodynamics, any one of which might serve as a good starting point to the solution of the difficulties of quantum electrodynamics.
‐‐ Richard P. Feynman
There were several things a Yale freshman was supposed to be able to do. You had to demonstrate in the Olympic-size Yale pool that you could swim 50 yards or be inducted into swimming class.
‐‐ Dick Cavett
There were shots of Kong pulling at my clothes, but only in horizontal and never from above. Never from above.
‐‐ Fay Wray
There were six kids in our family, and I grew up fast. I had to do a lot of things on my own. I was a rebellious teenager. That's why coming into the film business was good for me because it gave me some discipline. Once I became an actor, I had to grow up a little more.
‐‐ Matt Dillon
There were so many great music and political scenes going on in the late '60s in Cambridge. The ratio of guys to girls at Harvard was four to one, so all of those things were playing in my mind.
‐‐ Bonnie Raitt
There were so many groups that I had in college, but I was always the solo singer. But what made it so unusual back in the day was that I was a black girl playing with all these white musicians, and I was also singing rock music on top of it.
‐‐ Natalie Cole
There were so many individual styles thirty or forty years ago.
‐‐ Buddy Rich
There were so many lean years. A lot of lean years.
‐‐ Katherine Heigl
There were so many lessons I learned the hard way: missing out on a raise because I didn't know to ask, having colleagues consistently get credit for my ideas because of how I spoke up in meetings. When I looked for a resource that addressed the challenges I was facing, I couldn't find it. There was nothing.
‐‐ Kathryn Minshew
There were so many occasions when I wasn't around for my kids or my husband. But we learnt to work around it.
‐‐ Chanda Kochhar
There were so many odd, strange things about Abraham Lincoln that I think nobody knew how to pigeonhole him.
‐‐ Steven Spielberg
There were so many outstanding women in scripture that were leaders. And, you know, the organized church sometimes puts boundaries on us that the Bible doesn't.
‐‐ Anne Graham Lotz
There were so many people after that first 'Colbert Report' interview that were impressed by the synergy we had during the interview. People everywhere we'd go would say, 'You should be the bandleader; it would be great for jazz. It would be great for the music.' But I was completely against it.
‐‐ Jon Batiste
There were so many people who wanted me for their films.
‐‐ Tippi Hedren
There were so many points where I was like, 'I can't do this.' It was too exhausting. It's just a lot, and then suddenly something happens, and your career changes, and it's so much fun and wonderful. I look back on those moments, and I'm so glad I didn't give up.
‐‐ Marisa Coughlan
There were so many pretty girls coming into the salon as clients, and others working in the salon. And I thought, 'Hmm. This is rather nice.'
‐‐ Vidal Sassoon
There were so many specific things from high school jazz band that I remembered: the conductor searching out people who were out of tune, or stopping and starting me for hours in front of the band as they watched.
