A reversal is just anything that's a surprise. It's a way of keeping the audience interested.
‐‐ Tony Gilroy
A reverse mortgage is available to anyone who is at least 62 years old and owns a home outright, or has a small mortgage balance remaining.

A review of summit day photographs will show that I was clothed in the latest, highest quality, high altitude gear, comparable, if not better, than that worn by the other members of our expedition.
‐‐ Anatoli Boukreev
A review was published in Nature, very scathing, essentially calling me incompetent, though they didn't use that word. I am putting a reply on my Web site in a few days, where I go through their arguments, paragraph by paragraph.
‐‐ Bjorn Lomborg
A reviewer once commented that my urban fantasy novels were paced more like epic fantasy, in that they relied on complex world-building and a gradual immersion in the lives of the characters.
‐‐ Laura Anne Gilman
A reviewer's lot is not always an easy one. I can remember flogging myself to finish Harold Brodkey's 'The Runaway Soul' despite the novel's consummate, unmitigated tedium.

A revised schedule is to business what a new season is to an athlete or a new canvas to an artist.
‐‐ Norman Ralph Augustine
A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!
‐‐ Billy Sunday
A revival of 'Of Mice and Men' would have seemed out of place in years of Reaganomics, Donald Trump and Michael Milken, a time when Rambo supplied millions of filmgoers with a fantasy that masked what was really going on in their lives.

A revocable living trust allows your heirs to avoid probate entirely and keeps you in complete control of your finances while you're alive. You can always make changes to what's in the trust and to how you'd ultimately like it managed or disbursed.
‐‐ Suze Orman
A revolution can be neither made nor stopped. The only thing that can be done is for one of several of its children to give it a direction by dint of victories.
‐‐ Napoleon Bonaparte
A revolution in itself is not a blessing. The revolution accomplished by the French people is, indeed, a wonderful event - the most striking, in my opinion, in history; but it may lead to events which will make it a mighty evil.
‐‐ John C. Calhoun
A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.
‐‐ Fidel Castro
A revolution is an act of violence whereby one class shatters the authority of another.
‐‐ James MacGregor Burns
A revolution is an idea which has found its bayonets.
‐‐ Napoleon Bonaparte
A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation; furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution.
‐‐ Vladimir Lenin
A revolution is interesting insofar as it avoids like the plague the plague it promised to heal.
‐‐ Daniel Berrigan
A revolution is not a bed of roses.
‐‐ Fidel Castro
A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery.
‐‐ Mao Zedong
A revolution is not an event. It's a process. And it takes its time.
‐‐ Bassem Youssef
A revolution is to bring on change and we're spiritual people trying to bring on spiritual change. It might sound like I'm a dreamer, but economic models have reached their height of evolution. Technology has evolved. What hasn't evolved is mankind's spirituality; everything is from 3,000 years ago.
‐‐ Damian Marley
A revolution only lasts fifteen years, a period which coincides with the effectiveness of a generation.
‐‐ Jose Ortega y Gasset
A revolution simply means great change, significant change, and that's how I'm defining it - great change for the better, brought about through non-violent means.
‐‐ Aung San Suu Kyi
A revolutionary idea is usually one with its sleeves rolled up.
‐‐ Navjot Singh Sidhu
A revolutionary poem will not tell you who or when to kill, what and when to burn, or even how to theorize. It reminds you... where and when and how you are living and might live, it is a wick of desire.
‐‐ Adrienne Rich
A rhyme doesn't make a song.
‐‐ Dorothy Fields
A rich man can afford to be generous to many.
‐‐ Mercedes McCambridge
A rich man cannot enjoy a sound mind nor a sound body without exercise and abstinence; and yet these are truly the worst ingredients of poverty.
‐‐ Henry Home
A rich man's joke is always funny.
‐‐ Thomas Edward Brown
A rich man told me recently that a liberal is a man who tells other people what to do with their money.
‐‐ Amiri Baraka
A rich man without charity is a rogue; and perhaps it would be no difficult matter to prove that he is also a fool.
‐‐ Henry Fielding
A rich poet from Harvard has no sense in his mind, except the aesthetic.
‐‐ Beatrice Wood
A rich, robust, well-resourced public education is one of the best routes out of poverty and a pathway to prosperity.
‐‐ Randi Weingarten
A rich rogue nowadays is fit company for any gentleman; and the world, my dear, hath not such a contempt for roguery as you imagine.
‐‐ John Gay
A Rick Santorum presidency would be very, very dangerous for America.
‐‐ Mark McKinnon
A right balance between music and lyrics is important. Music complements lyrics.
‐‐ Kailash Kher
A right is not what someone gives you; it's what no one can take from you.
‐‐ Ramsey Clark
A ring is a halo on your finger.
‐‐ Douglas Coupland
A ring means a commitment. But more than that, it means that you've talked about your shared future and have decided together on a shared vision of it.
‐‐ Patti Stanger
A rise in body temperature during sulphonamide treatment intensifies the biochemical reaction between drug and pathogen, while at the same time the heat itself injures the heat-sensitive gonococci.
‐‐ Gerhard Domagk
A rise in the level of saving can reduce aggregate activity temporarily but only a sustained high level of saving makes it possible to have the sustained high level of business investment that contributes to the long-run growth of output.
‐‐ Martin Feldstein
A rise in wages, from an alteration in the value of money, produces a general effect on price, and for that reason it produces no real effect whatever on profits.
‐‐ David Ricardo
A rise of wages from this cause will, indeed, be invariably accompanied by a rise in the price of commodities; but in such cases, it will be found that labour and all commodities have not varied in regard to each other, and that the variation has been confined to money.
‐‐ David Ricardo
A rising tide doesn't raise people who don't have a boat. We have to build the boat for them. We have to give them the basic infrastructure to rise with the tide.
‐‐ Rahul Gandhi
A rising tide lifts all boats, and you have to start with job creation. We will never get there until we replace all these jobs that have been lost.
‐‐ Phil Gingrey
A risk for a poet-novelist is imbalance: The poems can flatten into prose or lose their intensity of focus; the novels can stall amid lofty writing or literary preciousness and ignore the engine of plot and character.
‐‐ Floyd Skloot
A risk-free life is far from being a healthy life.
‐‐ Deepak Chopra
A roast is like a get-together where people come down and talk about you and dog you out, the way you came up, the knucklehead things that you did, stuff like that.
‐‐ Bootsy Collins
A robber who justified his theft by saying that he really helped his victims, by his spending giving a boost to retail trade, would find few converts; but when this theory is clothed in Keynesian equations and impressive references to the 'multiplier effect,' it unfortunately carries more conviction.
‐‐ Murray Rothbard
