A sense of electrical current was part of my own experience of being manic.

A sense of humor is important. I'm always attracted to a girl with confidence. In terms of looks, I don't have a type. I think a lot of girls think that they have to be super-thin, to meet the Hollywood image, but I think a girl who is voluptuous is very beautiful.
‐‐ Corey Sevier
A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.
‐‐ Hugh Sidey

A series of rumors about my attitude, as well as derogatory remarks about myself and my family showed me that the personal resentment of the Detroit general manager toward me would make it impossible for me to continue playing hockey in Detroit.
‐‐ Ted Lindsay
A series of small but real accomplishments gives people the energy and confidence to continue. For instance, a person who wants to write a novel might resolve to write one sentence each day. Or a person who wants to start running might resolve to run for one minute.
‐‐ Gretchen Rubin
A series of studies in the 1990s and 2000s revealed that as women gained more access to education, jobs, and birth control, they had fewer children. As a result, developed countries in western Europe, Japan, and the Americas were seeing zero or negative population growth.
‐‐ Annalee Newitz
A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.
‐‐ Ludwig Wittgenstein
A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media, which is our culture. Professors of humanities, with all their leftist fantasies, have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy.
‐‐ Camille Paglia
A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl.
‐‐ Ernest Hemingway
A servant church must have as its priority solidarity with the poor.
‐‐ Claudio Hummes

A seventeenth-century house can be recognized by its steep roof, massive central chimney and utter porchlessness. Some of those houses have a second-story overhang, emphasizing their medieval look.
‐‐ John Updike
A seventeenth-century house tends to be short on frills like hallways and closets; you must improvise.
‐‐ John Updike
A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.
‐‐ Mitch Hedberg
A sex symbol? A symbol of sex? I don't think that I am a sex symbol, although it's very flattering. I'm 59, now, so I think I'm possibly past my sell-by date. I think I am.

‐‐ James Hogg
A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmental damaging consumption patterns.
‐‐ Maurice Strong
A shift toward access and service would deepen the big-box retailer's relationship to customers and win their loyalty. A service focus would bring more rewarding, frequent, and lasting contact with grateful customers.
