A bad version of a virtual reality video makes you vomit in your headset in under 10 seconds. It's much easier to make bad VR than it is to make good VR.

A balanced diet and physical activity are vital to academic performance. A healthy diet has a direct link to increased cognitive function and memory skills, decreased absenteeism from school, and improved mood. These advantages can help students stay focused and complete their coursework.
‐‐ Matt Cartwright
A balanced diet may be the best medicine. I was eating too much good eats. But people consider that part of your job, you know? Eat. And I do!

A balanced program for tax reform based upon the common sense idea of lowering taxes out of surplus revenues.

A ball had passed between my body and the right arm which supported him, cutting through the sleeve and passing through his chest from shoulder to shoulder. There was no more to be done for him and I left him to his rest. I have never mended that hole in my sleeve.
‐‐ Clara Barton
A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That's why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues.
‐‐ Joe DiMaggio
A ballad once in a while doesn't go amiss.
‐‐ Chrissie Hynde
A ballplayer doesn't make excuses.
‐‐ Roberto Alomar
A ban on paid priority is central to any real net neutrality proposal, beginning with the Snowe-Dorgan Bill of 2006. Indeed, the notion of 'payment for priority' is what started the net neutrality fight.

A band asked me to go on tour when I was 22 and asked me to play drums, and I taught myself so I could go on this trip with these people. The drums found me; I didn't find them. When I started playing, I realized how appropriate an instrument it was for me.

A band can define their own success.
‐‐ Adam Schlesinger
A band is a good way to break up a friendship.
‐‐ Julian Casablancas
A band is like a marriage, and if you're in a marriage with someone, and you lose yourself in that marriage, the relationship is over, really.
‐‐ Richie Sambora
A band is like a marriage - you don't know why it works, but when it does, everything feels right.
‐‐ Nuno Bettencourt
A band is not a democracy: It's show business.
‐‐ James McBride
A band is not a marriage. There are no oaths of allegiance. If you feel your life will be better served by splitting up the group, you've got to do it - but of course it does cause problems.
‐‐ Steve Winwood
A band is sort of like a star. It reaches a peak and burns out. To have five guys working in perfect harmony longer than a couple years is difficult.
‐‐ Adrian Smith
A band isn't a band unless they're playing together. Otherwise, it's just five guys that are living off their royalty checks.
‐‐ Joe Perry
A band like Depeche Mode would go out and record them hitting a trash can with a steel rod or something and recording it. And that would be one of their sounds of the drums. I love the creativeness of that kind of really raw sampling.
‐‐ Chino Moreno
A band's first album's usually not great. When you made the first album, you had a day job and you were still trying to be serious about it.
‐‐ John Darnielle
A band's only unique thing is its chemistry, especially if none of you are prodigious players or particularly handsome. The one thing you have is your uniqueness, so we hold on to that.

A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it.
‐‐ Bob Hope
A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
‐‐ Robert Frost
A bank needs models to measure risk. The problem, however, is that any one bank can measure its risk, but it also has to know what the risk taken by other banks in the system happens to be at any particular moment.
‐‐ Myron Scholes
A banker who is allowed to borrow money at X and loan it out at X plus Y will just go crazy and do too much of it if the civilization doesn't have rules that prevent it.

A bankruptcy judge can fix your balance sheet, but he cannot fix your company.

A bare assertion is not necessarily the naked truth.
‐‐ George Dennison Prentice
A barn with cattle and horses is the place to begin Christmas; after all, that's where the original event happened, and that same smell was the first air that the Christ Child breathed.
‐‐ Paul Engle
A barrier for me - which has been both a strength and a weakness - has been my taste. The kind of things I'm interested in aren't always mainstream.
‐‐ Randa Haines
A barrier is of ideas, not of things.

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
‐‐ Earl Wilson
A baseball manager is a necessary evil.
‐‐ Sparky Anderson
A baseball swing is a very finely tuned instrument. It is repetition, and more repetition, then a little more after that.
‐‐ Reggie Jackson
A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.
‐‐ Cass McCombs
A basic element of the American dream is equal access to education as the lubricant of social and economic mobility.
‐‐ Nicholas Kristof
A basic rule of life for reporters is that you should spend your time talking with and learning about people who are not sending you press releases, rather than those who are.
‐‐ James Fallows
A basic tenet of a healthy democracy is open dialogue and transparency.

A basketball team is like the five fingers on your hand. If you can get them all together, you have a fist. That's how I want you to play.
‐‐ Mike Krzyzewski
A bass player has to think and play like a bass player. A drummer has to play and think like a drummer, and stay out of the way of the vocalist. The guitar player has to respect everybody else.
‐‐ Hunter Hayes
A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up.
‐‐ Suzi Quatro
A bath and a tenderloin steak. Those are the high points of a man's life.
‐‐ Curt Siodmak
A battery by definition is a collection of cells. So the cell is a little can of chemicals. And the challenge is taking a very high-energy cell, and a large number of them, and combining them safely into a large battery.
‐‐ Elon Musk
A battle is developing between them' I say developing, because it's not yet on.
‐‐ Murray Walker
A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.
‐‐ Frederick Douglass
A battle won is a battle which we will not acknowledge to be lost.
‐‐ Ferdinand Foch
A beach is not only a sweep of sand, but shells of sea creatures, the sea glass, the seaweed, the incongruous objects washed up by the ocean.
‐‐ Henry Grunwald
A beam of light takes about two million years to reach from us to the Andromeda nebula. But my thought covers this distance in a few seconds. Perhaps some day some intermediate form of body and mind may permit us to say that we actually can travel faster than light.
‐‐ Ragnar Frisch
A beam of luminous hydrogen canal rays has, owing to its velocity, exactly the same direction as that of the electric field in which it may be made to move.

A beast does not know that he is a beast, and the nearer a man gets to being a beast, the less he knows it.
