We had literary references, so we knew what we were talking about. We could quote things, talk about books we'd read; you can say something, you don't have to explain it.
‐‐ Kevin Ayers
We had many books and pictures... my parents' way of life doubtless left a lasting impression on me. They created an atmosphere in which a certain kind of freedom could exist. This may well account for my seeking a related sense of liberty as I grew up.
‐‐ Alfred Stieglitz
We had many good directors - John Carpenter, Brian De Palma - but things have become polluted by business, money and bad relationships. The success of the horror genre has led to its downfall.
‐‐ Dario Argento
We had many more points of agreement than we had points of difference, but we did differ, and the bigger we got, the more insistent we got that each one of us should have his way.
‐‐ Paul Simon
We had maybe the greatest success of any company that I know of in Paris, and after two or three years I wanted to do this same number that we did for PBS, so we did it and Paris had always considered us their darlings.
‐‐ Katherine Dunham
We had more viewers on the broadcast network than we did on the cable channel.
‐‐ Brit Hume
We had never before seen a place where European influence had not contributed to smooth and soften the rough features of uncultivated nature. The prospect of Rangoon, as we approached, was quite disheartening.
‐‐ Adoniram Judson
We had news this morning of another successful atomic bomb being dropped on Nagasaki. These two heavy blows have fallen in quick succession upon the Japanese and there will be quite a little space before we intend to drop another.
‐‐ Henry L. Stimson
We had no electricity, no gas. Food was probably our greatest entertainment - the most fun thing that we could do was food.
‐‐ Paul Prudhomme
We had no idea that this would turn into a global and public infrastructure.
‐‐ Vint Cerf
We had no idea what we were in for when we started Blue Sky. We just had an idea of what we wanted to do. When we got to a point where it seemed impossible, we just kept doing it. After 18 years, we have a lot of it done.
‐‐ Chris Wedge
We had no more courage than Harriet Tubman or Marcus Garvey had in their times. We just had a more vulnerable enemy.
‐‐ Stokely Carmichael
We had no sleep or days off or anything like that and then, when the band became big, Hendrix became a star and looked down at us lot.
‐‐ Noel Redding
We had not had time to establish ourselves as a double act before Ernie joined the Merchant Navy. I teamed up with the brother of the late Dave Morris.
‐‐ Eric Morecambe
We had not seen any natives for many days, but a few passed the camp on the opposite side of the river on the evening of the 25th. They would not, however, come to us; but fled into the interior in great apparent alarm.
‐‐ Charles Sturt
We had offers to go everywhere and we could have done them. But what would have been the point? We were tired. We had worked hard and needed a break before we got stale. We spent six months at home and writing songs.
‐‐ John Bonham
We had only snacks last time, I think it was OK for a day time menu. But this time it will be late night when people gather so we should add some proper meals.
‐‐ Hidetoshi Nakata
We had our first earthquake over here recently. That was a bizarre feeling. I just became disoriented and I remember my dad freaking out. Nothing broke or anything.
‐‐ Ashley Scott
We had our first meeting yesterday, and we just laughed all the way through, so if we can bottle that, then I'll be happy. We just get on, and that's half the battle.
‐‐ Allan Carr
We had people of all backgrounds coming together - all races, all creeds, all colors, all status in life. And coming together there was a kind of quiet dignity and a kind of sense of caring and a feeling of joint responsibility.
‐‐ Dorothy Height
We had plenty of clothes and no money.
‐‐ Cesar Romero
We had prepared, my staff had prepared for me a whole dossier on virtually - on George Bush on his votes on his records, what he had done over the past number of years in public service.
‐‐ Geraldine Ferraro
We had problems like all families but we had a lot of love. I was extremely loved. We always felt we had each other.
‐‐ Jim Carrey
We had put our son into a little preschool in Los Angeles, and it was just not going well, so we brought him back home. We had every intention of putting him back into a traditional school setting, but we just really couldn't find the right match for him. And then we moved to Georgia and again couldn't find the right match.
‐‐ Jodi Benson
We had representatives of most every ethnic group in the public school, and I always felt that this gave me a sense of balance about those ethnic problems that was useful to me in later life, and particularly in political life.
‐‐ Prescott Bush
We had rising student achievement across the board because high standards, robust accountability, ending social promotion in third grade, real school choice across the board, challenging the teachers union and beating them is the way to go.
‐‐ Jeb Bush
We had said, it was either all of us or none of us.
‐‐ Connie Sellecca
We had seen God in His splendors, heard the text that Nature renders. We had reached the naked soul of man.
‐‐ Ernest Shackleton
We had seen the way the print industry had been disrupted; we'd seen how the audio industry got disrupted, so it just seemed like a natural progression that video was next. We thought we were late to the game in 2003.
‐‐ Burnie Burns
We had several hits in the States but probably only one big one in Europe. The crowds are smaller.
‐‐ Huey Lewis
We had so much fun in Ghana and they are really lovely people.
‐‐ Adrian Edmondson
We had so much press, and then they get bored... I think we've done well to keep going.
‐‐ Emma Anderson
We had some major successes and we did so because the country embraced the spirit of Earth Day and embraced this concept that we have to have forward-looking, visionary environmental policy and energy policy in this country.
‐‐ Jay Inslee
We had some marvelous outtakes, but the producer had destroyed them all.
‐‐ Alan Young
We had some problems - my children were kidnapped during that time, and it just changed my whole way of thinking, from being in show business and everything else.
‐‐ Solomon Burke
We had some really powerful technology - Atari always was a technology-driven company, and we were very keen on keeping the technological edge on everything. There's a whole bunch of things that we innovated. We made the first computer that did stamps or sprites, we did screen-mapping for the very first time, and a lot of stuff like that.
‐‐ Nolan Bushnell
We had some very distinguished fans: I know one chancellor of a major university who used to schedule his meetings around Star Trek. We were thrilled to discover that Frank Sinatra was a big fan.
‐‐ Patrick Stewart
We had some wonderful people raising us, but they still weren't our parents. As you get older, it gets distorted and convoluted, complicated, and, of course, you start looking for attention, affection, affinity in all the wrong places and in all the wrong ways.
‐‐ Natalie Cole
We had something to say. Whenever we played, people didn't dance, they listened.
‐‐ Ruben Blades
We had something very special in the Faces. We were blessed to have the fun we had.
‐‐ Ian McLagan
We had staffed up to do 'Doom 4' internally in parallel with 'Rage'. We also had our mobile and 'Quake Live' departments. We were taking a lot of steps to kind of provide a little bit more scope and protection for ourselves. And we certainly were listening to offers from all the majors about acquisition.
‐‐ John Carmack
We had such a wonderful set of circumstances in Wilmington. Yes, the four of us became famous literally overnight, but we were in a small town and we always knew when people were coming down. We always knew when to behave.
‐‐ Katie Holmes
We had Taiwan, Egypt, Lebanon, and Oman open their markets to our beef, and we're excited about that.
‐‐ Mike Johanns
We had that first Marvel NOW! retreat where everybody came in and pitched their new books, which was probably the most exciting retreat I've ever been to because it was all brand new.
‐‐ Jason Aaron
We had the best-equipped and we have the best-trained military force on the face of the earth, right here in Oklahoma.
‐‐ Harry M. Wyatt III
We had the boy's name picked out, but we didn't have a girl's. When he turned out to be a boy, we were so relieved. Literally, in the middle of contracting and pushing, and with my wife being drugged - out and half - lucid, we were still coming up with names.
‐‐ Paul Reiser
We had the guys from X Men 2 do the cameras. They had a 360 camera that would go from one car, up in the air and over to another car in a continuous shot while the film was still rolling, going 90 mph.
‐‐ Jimmy Fallon
We had the skirts with the slits up the side, sort of tough, sort of Spanish Harlem cool, but sweet too.
‐‐ Ronnie Spector
We had the Windows app store in Windows 8, but one of the big changes in the design of Windows 10 is to make sure that the app store is front and center where our usage is, which is the desktop.
‐‐ Satya Nadella
