'Anna Karenina.' I read it in college. I was so engrossed that I couldn't stop reading it and neglected all my other studies. I would go to the library even on nice warm weekends and just lock myself up. I think that was the first time that I felt transformed by a book.

'Anna Karenina' is just a story about a woman falling in love with a bloke who is not her husband. It's gossip, rubbish - on the other hand, it's the deepest story there could be about social transgression, about love, betrayal, duty, children.

Anna Katherine Green wrote about a female inquiry agent, and there were a scattering of female investigators in the 1970s, authored by men, who just didn't ring true. So I thought, 'Well, there's an opening here for something.'

Anna Kournikova will always be better paid than Lindsay Davenport. The first left the circuit without having won a single title while the second was world number one.
‐‐ Marion Bartoli
Anna Magnani, Sophia Loren, Meryl Streep - I love actresses that are strong and fragile at the same time. They bring complexity to their roles.

'Anna Nicole' came from Guess Jeans; Paul Marciano and me and one of his friends, we were sitting around coming up with a stage name, and that's where that came from.
‐‐ Anna Nicole Smith
Anna Wintour doesn't deal with pictures; she is just doing PR and business, and she scares everybody.
‐‐ Azzedine Alaia
Anna Wintour has guided me.
‐‐ Natalie Massenet
Anna Wintour is the most powerful woman in the global fashion industry, the first lady of fashion. She's a politician; I'm a stylist. They are two very different jobs.
‐‐ Carine Roitfeld
'Annapurna' is a sort of novel. It's a novel, but a true novel.
‐‐ Maurice Herzog
Anne and I have now been married almost 32 years, and I am the luckiest husband in the world.
‐‐ Tim Kaine
Anne Baxter was a very good actress, Donna Reid was great. You couldn't name an actress I wasn't crazy about.
‐‐ Richard Widmark
Anne Boleyn is an intriguing character. She seems to appeal to modern-day women in a very potent way. Because she was such an independently opinionated and spirited young woman, which at the time was unheard of.
‐‐ Natalie Dormer
Anne Boleyn is certainly the most exciting character I have played on stage.
‐‐ Lydia Leonard
Anne Boleyn isn't a sympathetic character, but I like that she isn't a people pleaser. She's ambitious and manipulative, but she's honest. I'm biased, but I don't think a woman who has said 'no' to the King of England for six years would jump into bed with four of his best friends. She was a slick political mind.
‐‐ Lydia Leonard
Anne Boleyn was a warrior forced to use the only tools available to a woman in her position at that time. She was bold and ambitious, and had she had a son, history would have been very different.
‐‐ Lydia Leonard
Anne Elliot was the one Jane Austen character I didn't fall in love with. She seemed sad and defeated.
‐‐ Louisa Hall
Anne Frank's diary made a very big impression on me at age 12 or so.
‐‐ Mary Gaitskill
Anne hated the idea of putting me down in front of the audience.
‐‐ Jerry Stiller
Anne is very forgiving. She doesn't care about money, being rich, or clothes. We never argued about finances.
‐‐ Jerry Stiller
Anne Rice really doesn't explore vampires as hideous monsters of the night, they're ancient creatures with a heart. And they want to be loved and they want connections just like we do.

Annexation is probably the most valuable tool a city has to ensure orderly growth and development.

Annie Lee Moss was a black woman who worked for the Army as a code clerk in the Pentagon. She was identified by an undercover agent of the FBI as a member of the Communist Party. Moss denied it, the Democrats sprang to her defense, and she has been treated ever since as an innocent victim of McCarthy.
‐‐ M. Stanton Evans
Annie Lee Smith was my mother's name. My father's name was George Washington Smith. I have to tell you, I got all of my attributes from them, obviously, the tangibles, the intangibles. Particularly my work ethic, my dedication.
‐‐ Bruce Smith
Annika has the type of game I want to work on. She's just so consistent. Hopefully I'll be like that one day.
‐‐ Michelle Wie
Announcers don't do enough of the cat-and-mouse strategy and all the work that goes into it. You watch a broadcast and guys get the pitches wrong.

Anonymity breeds meanness.
‐‐ Sam Altman
Anonymity is a universal convention of the blogosphere, and the wicked expedience is that you can speak without consequences.
‐‐ Lee Siegel
Anonymity is a wonderful thing if you can hang on to it. I live in Pasadena where we try to keep the movie people out. We discourage them from moving in our neighborhood and if they do we burn effigies on their lawns.
‐‐ Joe Johnston
Anonymity would be a fantastic umbrella. I don't like intrusion.
‐‐ Sam Taylor-Wood
Anonymous blog comments, vapid video pranks and lightweight mash-ups may seem trivial and harmless, but as a whole, this widespread practice of fragmentary, impersonal communication has demeaned personal interaction.
‐‐ Jaron Lanier
Anonymous comments? You're not in the arena, man. If you can't say it to me in person in front of my kids, don't say it.
‐‐ Brene Brown
Anonymous is like an amoeba: it's got too many different operations run by truly different people which might not share a single person with another operation, but they use the same branding - they are part of the Anonymous brand, just like al-Qaida.
‐‐ Mikko Hypponen
Anonymous is not an organization. It is an idea, a zeitgeist, coupled with a set of social and technical practices.
‐‐ Yochai Benkler
Anonymous sources are a practice of American journalism in the 20th and 21st century, a relatively recent practice. The literary tradition of anonymity goes back to the Bible.

Anorexia and bulimia seem to be getting much more common in boys, men, and women of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds; they are also becoming more common in racial groups previously thought to be impervious to the problem.
‐‐ Marya Hornbacher
Anorexia is a response to cultural images of the female body - waiflike, angular - that both capitulates to the ideal and also mocks it, strips away all the ancillary signs of sexuality, strips away breasts and hips and butt and leaves in their place a garish caricature, a cruel cartoon of flesh and bone.
‐‐ Caroline Knapp
Anorexia is an awful thing, but you get yourself into it, and only you can get yourself out of it.
‐‐ Celia Imrie
Anorexia taught me to love life and to realise that starving yourself to death is a bloody waste of time. It's awful, and it hurts so many people around you. It's a terribly selfish thing to do.
‐‐ Celia Imrie
Anorexia was there for me before I got into modeling, but because of the arena and the demands, the disease really got out of control for me. It's like being an alcoholic and going and being a bartender.
‐‐ Carre Otis
Anorexia, you starve yourself. Bulimia, you binge and purge. You eat huge amounts of food until you're sick and then you throw up. And anorexia, you just deny yourself. It's about control.
‐‐ Tracey Gold
Anormal day looks like, you know, shower, put on the same jeans, the same tattered Gucci loafers I got at the thrift store, white socks, and my t-shirt and my very beat-up Helmut Lang blazer. I'm in the exact same outfit every day.

Another adverse factor was the way the Russians received continual reinforcements from their back areas, as they fell back. It seemed to us that as soon as one force was wiped out, the path was blocked by the arrival of a fresh force.
‐‐ Gerd von Rundstedt
Another argument, vaguer and even less persuasive, is that gay marriage somehow does harm to heterosexual marriage. I have yet to meet anyone who can explain to me what this means. In what way would allowing same-sex partners to marry diminish the marriages of heterosexual couples?

Another Black Label motto. That's what I think life is. It's just another bridge to cross. You ask no questions. Whatever work it is you gotta do, you gotta go over it, under it, through it, around it, to do it.

Another car is not going to help me out, a nicer car, I've already got it. A bigger house ain't gonna do anything for me, and you know, a yacht, it's not going to do anything for me anymore. So how can I find happiness?
