Until fairly recently, Amish teachers would reprimand the student who raised his or her hand as being too individualistic. Calling attention to oneself, or being 'prideful,' is one of the cardinal Amish worries. Having your name or photo in the papers, even talking to the press, is almost a sin.

Until fighting ends and there are conditions, which allow the free expression of will by the people, there can be no elections and elections are not held in these circumstances anywhere in the world.

Until four years ago, in fact, I was absolutely in love with the atom.

Until Genevieve I had tended towards the more dramatic type of role.
‐‐ Dinah Sheridan
Until having kids, I had never really thought about mortality so much.
‐‐ James Mercer
Until he announced his immigration policy last week, Obama had the support of most Hispanic voters - but not the enthusiasm they had shown for him in 2008. That may be changing in part because of the decision not to deport young immigrants whose undocumented parents brought them here as children.

Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.
‐‐ Albert Schweitzer
Until he lost all his money, my father was a successful north London Jewish businessman. He was unusual among his immediate family in that he was enormously cultured and had an incredible library.
‐‐ Anthony Horowitz
Until his dying days, Steve Jobs could not only predict the direction the marketplace would be heading, but help drive it there.
‐‐ Kurt Eichenwald
Until I became a nurse, no one had ever asked me to sign a book contract. I had been writing for decades, read thousands of books, and even worked in publishing for 10 years. Who knew that nursing would be my break?
‐‐ Steven Amsterdam
Until I began to learn to draw, I was never much interested in looking at art.
‐‐ Richard P. Feynman
Until I came out, my acting was all about disguise, and thereafter it became about telling the truth.
‐‐ Ian Mckellen
Until I carried my wife off to New Hampshire, she defined wilderness as the Bronx.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.
‐‐ Harper Lee
Until I feel strong enough to pray sincerely and to act accordingly, I would rather not pray at all.

Until I got 'Full Metal Jacket,' I was doing Off-Off-Broadway plays with three people in the audience.
‐‐ Vincent D'Onofrio
Until I got married, when I used to go out, my mother said good bye to me as though I was emigrating.
‐‐ Thora Hird
Until I got older, I never dreamed of what a demanding responsibility it is to keep food in the pantry, to keep clothing neat and presentable, to buy all that is needed to keep a home running.

Until I'm actually stood on the set doing the job, I always keep my options open.
‐‐ Katherine Kelly
Until I'm on the set of a film, to me it's still not for real.
‐‐ James McAvoy
Until I read Anne Frank's diary, I had found books a literal escape from what could be the harsh reality around me. After I read the diary, I had a fresh way of viewing the both literature and the world. From then on, I found I was impatient with books that were not honest or that were trivial and frivolous.
‐‐ Alexandra Fuller
Until I realized that rock music was my connection to the rest of the human race, I felt like I was dying, for some reason, and I didn't know why.
‐‐ Bruce Springsteen
Until I really accepted this about myself and got over any of my own transphobia that I had, I really felt like I wouldn't be accepted. I thought I would ruin my life.
‐‐ Chaz Bono
Until I see an Arab country, a Muslim country, with a democracy, I won't understand how anyone can have a problem with how they're treated.
‐‐ John Lydon
Until I separated from Parker, I had never been without them-and it's the hardest thing to share them. But we're trying to give the children the semblance of having whole lives.
‐‐ Kirstie Alley
Until I started doing standup, there were some very bleak days.
‐‐ Larry David
Until I was 16, I read nothing but science fiction. I loved William Gibson and I still do. But my favourite book when I was growing up, for a long time, was 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson, which I must have read about a dozen times when I was a teenager.
‐‐ Ned Beauman
Until I was 21, I wasn't going into the media. I was a professional show jumper; I was going to have a farm... Then my father died, and it changed my life. I realised I had to have a go at being a journalist to see if I could cut the mustard.
‐‐ Jonathan Dimbleby
Until I was 27, I'd maybe been to America once and, like, Ibiza when I was 18. That was it.
‐‐ Michelle Dockery
Until I was 42, I could fit everything that I owned into two suitcases.
‐‐ Richard Powers
Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.
‐‐ Dolly Parton
Until I was about 14, I was a fat boy, or at least I looked like a fat boy. I think that being funny was a bit of a defence mechanism for me, so I ended up being a bit of a joker.
‐‐ Pippa Evans
Until I was about 16 years old, my dream was to be a musician. I played in rock bands and jazz bands. Then I decided to be an actor and kept the stable career of 'jazz pianist' as my safety net.
‐‐ Simon Helberg
Until I was diagnosed with mouth cancer, I'd never heard of it.
‐‐ Jack Wild
Until I was eighteen, I did not know that you could study fashion design or art. I really didn't know. I already had my nose in the art world; I was already looking at things, but I didn't really get it that you could study that because my school was a very different environment.
‐‐ Raf Simons
Until I was five, my immediate family lived near my grandfather's farm where my mother had grown up and, with the exception of a few modern conveniences, had not changed a lot over the years.
‐‐ Kary Mullis
Until I was four years old I lived in the house of my paternal grandfather, about two miles from the pretty little village of Wallace, at the mouth of the river of that name.
‐‐ Simon Newcomb
Until I was six years old we lived in the projects, then my two brothers and three sisters and I moved to a three-bed that my mother's father built.
‐‐ David Johansen
Until I went to rehab, I didn't understand what it did.
‐‐ Aaron Neville
Until it's on the radio or online, it's not real. With U2, our album isn't finished until it's in the stores.
‐‐ Bono
Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.
‐‐ Lyndon B. Johnson
Until late in life, I was never quite good enough for my father, and I suppose that is part of what drives me even now, well after his death in 1992.
‐‐ Richard Smalley
Until Lee Elder, the only blacks at the Masters were caddies or waiters. To ask a black man what he feels about the traditions of the Masters is like asking him how he feels about his forefathers who were slaves.
‐‐ Calvin Peete
Until men learn to celebrate and operate on the feminine aspect of themselves and stop the oppression of women, children, the environment, other species, we don't have a world to live in. It's not a world that anyone chooses to live in.
‐‐ James Cromwell
Until MTV, television had not been a huge influence on music. To compete with MTV, the country music moguls felt they had to appeal to the same young audience and do it the way MTV did.
‐‐ Charley Pride
Until my early teens, I lived with my mother in New York, and I spent a lot of time in the company of her friends, mostly artists and designers, such as Andy Warhol, Ross Bleckner and Francesco Clemente, none of whom had kids, so I was like their shared child.
‐‐ Jade Jagger
Until my senior year, baseball and basketball were my best sports; and even when I was a senior, I still wanted to play baseball professionally. But the family wanted me to go to college, and I guess I agreed with them, or else I would have accepted some of the offers I got.
‐‐ Joe Namath
Until now, I've been a kind of binge-writer - I'll carve out five or six hours on a weekend day and make a large container of espresso and just bang out a lot of words.
