Anyone who wants to look at sunlight naturally wipes his eye clear first, in order to make, at any rate, some approximation to the purity of that on which he looks; and a person wishing to see a city or country goes to the place in order to do so.

Anyone who wants to offer me as mushy, earthy, crunchy a role as they can, I will probably take it. In real life, I cry at a drop of a hat, and I'm a mom, and I'm pretty mushy! We all have so many colors as actors that we want to show.
‐‐ Alysia Reiner
Anyone who wants to promote a car or a football tournament turns to opera. There's a much greater public connection than the image of plush corporate boxes would suggest.
‐‐ Rory Bremner
Anyone who wants to run has to be a Jimmy Swaggart, minus the default.
‐‐ Chevy Chase
Anyone who wants to sell you overnight success or wealth is not interested in your success; they are interested in your money.

‐‐ James Jannard
Anyone who works in the arts knows, if you're writing a novel or a play or anything, you have to be ready for someone to say, 'Your time is up.'
‐‐ Colm Toibin
Anyone who works is a fool. I don't work - I merely inflict myself upon the public.
‐‐ Robert Morley
Anyone who works on a quilt, who devotes her time, energy, creativity, and passion to that art, learns to value the work of her hands. And as any quilter will tell you, a quilter's quilting friends are some of the dearest, most generous, and most supportive people she knows.
‐‐ Jennifer Chiaverini
Anyone who would let Gary Cooper and the entire cast go charging on horseback without first finding out what kind of footing the horses had is nuts and cannot possibly direct a motion picture.
‐‐ Dick York
Anyone who writes an autobiographical work at the age of 34 is, at best, presumptuous. It occurred to me that it was time to set the record straight.
‐‐ Jessica Savitch
Anyone who writes knows that ultimately the majority of your time is spent alone in a room with a piano or a guitar, no matter what the project is.
‐‐ Trey Anastasio
Anyone will say anything under torture.
‐‐ George Galloway
Anyone wishing to communicate with Americans should do so by e-mail, which has been specially invented for the purpose, involving neither physical proximity nor speech.
‐‐ Auberon Waugh
Anyone with a computer and a design program can create a page layout. But unless you're trained in design, it won't look very good and it won't communicate very well.
‐‐ John Maeda
Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her.
‐‐ Mike Tyson
Anyone with a gun can go out and commit an act of terrorism, even without a political affiliation.
‐‐ Aaron McGruder
Anyone with a heart, with a family, has experienced loss. No one escapes unscathed. Every story of separation is different, but I think we all understand that basic, wrenching emotion that comes from saying goodbye, not knowing if we'll see that person again - or perhaps knowing that we won't.
‐‐ Luanne Rice
Anyone with a little computer experience knows that anything can be copied bit by bit with the right equipment.
‐‐ Jon Johansen
Anyone with a pension or retirement is an investor in the stock market.
‐‐ Brad Katsuyama
Anyone with a show on T.V. will tell you it's backbreaking work. And if you have a big personality, which I have, and you're a perfectionist, there's going to be head-butting.
‐‐ Roseanne Barr
Anyone with a smart phone is a potential eyewitness cameraman capturing and transmitting stories at speeds that turn Reuter photos and traditional reporting into, well... yesterday's news.
‐‐ Harvey Fierstein
Anyone with an inbox knows what I'm talking about. A dozen emails to set up a meeting time. Documents attached and edited and reedited until no one knows which version is current. Urgent messages drowning in forwards and cc's and spam.
‐‐ Ryan Holmes
Anyone with an Internet service provider can be a pundit or whatever they want.
‐‐ Bill Keller
Anyone with sincere religious beliefs cannot say that all religions are true. That is so illogical it is pathetic. All religion cannot be true because some of them are so diametrically opposed to each other.
‐‐ Josh McDowell
Anyone with the right mix of parental paranoia and entrepreneurial moxie can make a fortune by selling parents the equipment we think will keep us one step ahead of our kids.
‐‐ Nancy Gibbs
Anyone, without exception, can know God if they really want to simply by praying, by honestly telling Him that they want to know Him. He always responds to honest seekers. Jesus promised, 'All who seek, find.'
‐‐ Peter Kreeft
Anyone working at HootSuite will tell you that I don't sugarcoat my opinions. I heavily encourage feedback and suggestions - partly because I'm blunt about offering the same in return.
‐‐ Ryan Holmes
Anyone working for a big company might be skeptical that a large business, or even a strictly online business, can form the same kind of friendly, loyal relationship with customers as a local retailer. I'm saying it's already been done because I lived it.
‐‐ Gary Vaynerchuk
Anyone working in the media can tell you that there seems to be an always-ready-to-explode segment of the populace for whom offense is a fate worse than anything imaginable. You'd think offense is one of the most calamitous things that could happen to a human being; right up there with the loss of a limb, or just missing a parking space.
‐‐ Dick Cavett
Anyone would be lying if they said they didn't get lonely at times.
‐‐ George Clooney
Anyone you give a ton of money to is going to go slightly crazy. I don't think comedians are particularly special in that regard; they just are better or more vocal in their expressions of their craziness.
‐‐ Nick Kroll
Anything - a destination, a person - that has some mystery around it becomes exciting and attractive.
‐‐ Cam Gigandet
Anything as good and true as that moral cannot be new at this late date.

‐‐ Jami Attenberg
Anything called the Teflon Corner is not sweet for free-soloing.
‐‐ Alex Honnold

‐‐ Amity Shlaes
Anything can be negotiated if you have a strong leader.
‐‐ Corey Lewandowski
Anything can be used for or against the welfare of women - or the welfare of anyone - depending on who controls it.

‐‐ Hans Zimmer
Anything can change, because the smartphone revolution is still in the early stages.
‐‐ Tim Cook
