At the Olympics, you have almost nothing to lose, but at the Olympic trials, you have everything to lose. You have the last four years of your life to lose.
‐‐ Cate Campbell
At the Olympics, you there to do a job. I feel you should take it seriously. You should be respectful. You are putting on the red-white-and-blue and going out there to perform for your country.
‐‐ Shannon Miller
At the Oscars, if you didn't vote for '12 Years a Slave,' you were a racist. You have to be very careful about what you say. I do have particular views and opinions that most of this town doesn't share, but it's not like I'm a fascist or a racist. There's nothing like that in my history.
‐‐ Gary Oldman
At the outset, at least, all three groups had something else to recommend them, as well: They were headquartered 3,000 miles away from the East Side of Manhattan.
‐‐ Tom Wolfe
At the outset, I think that one should be natural, not just when it comes to writing but in every area of life. If you try to be something that you are not just to impress others, then it's a rather sad life.
‐‐ Amish Tripathi
At the outset, I want to say that the suggestion that the struggle in South Africa is under the influence of foreigners or communists is wholly incorrect. I have done whatever I did because of my experience in South Africa and my own proudly felt African background, and not because of what any outsider might have said.
‐‐ Nelson Mandela
At the outset, my notion of being a writer was that you would have moments of inspiration and moments of frustration, when you'd crumple up your pages and toss them away. On one side, the dustbin would fill up, and on the other side, pages would rise into a novel.
‐‐ Tom Rachman
At the outset of the creation of the euro in 1999, it was expected that the southern eurozone economies would behave like those in the north; the Italians would behave like Germans. They didn't. Instead, northern Europe fell into subsidizing southern Europe's excess consumption, that is, its current account deficits.
‐‐ Alan Greenspan
At the parish level, where the church lives and moves and breathes, that's where we need to be engaging our people much more in understanding the Word of God... the Word of God reflected in the traditional teaching of the church, the Word of God reflected in the scriptures, is as much a part of their lives as anything else.
‐‐ Donald Wuerl
At the pinnacle of great design are products so gorgeous and lust-worthy that you want to lick them: a Porsche 911, Samsung's Luxia TV, an Eames lounge chair or anything by Loro Piana.
‐‐ Gary Hamel
At the point that an idea approaches perfection, fashion and expectations surge ahead, leaving the innovator with considerable room to find further improvements.
‐‐ Max McKeown
At the point when continuity was interrupted by the first nuclear explosion, it would have been too easy to recover the formal sediment which linked us with an age of poetic decorum, of a preoccupation with poetic sounds.
‐‐ Salvatore Quasimodo
At the point when I wanted to become a designer, I didn't think about, 'Oh, but I'm a woman,' just like didn't think about like, well, 'I'm Chinese' or that 'I'm in Michigan.' You know, none of those things were obstacles to me. I just had this idea that this is what I had to do.
‐‐ Anna Sui
At the point where I'm trying to force something and it's not happening, and I'm getting frustrated with, say, writing a poem, I can go and pick up the brushes and start painting. At the point where the painting seems to not be going anywhere, I go and pick up the guitar.
‐‐ Joni Mitchell
At the political level, most Jews and most Catholics have accepted the liberal idea of religious freedom.
‐‐ David Novak
At the premieres, I always watch the audience. If a child asks to go to the bathroom, I know I've failed.
‐‐ Gian Carlo Menotti
At the present day the crude theory of the sexual impulse held on one side, and the ignorant rejection of theory altogether on the other side, are beginning to be seen as both alike unjustified.
‐‐ Havelock Ellis
At the present moment the people of England are only three-quarters fed, and the result of this improvement in the export of our manufactures would be, that they would be entirely fed.
‐‐ Joseph Hume
At the present moment, the security of coherent philosophy, which existed from Parmenides to Hegel, is lost.
‐‐ Karl Jaspers
At the prom, you are more about boys thinking you're cute. On the red carpet, you have to please everyone because there are a lot more people looking at those pictures.
‐‐ Laura Marano
At the rate we're going, the 21st century looks pretty clear. It's going to be pretty violent.
‐‐ Edward James Olmos
At the request of the special counsel, Mr. Rove will not discuss the substance of his testimony.
‐‐ Robert Luskin
At the restaurant, we strive to create an excellent experience for our guests, and in the kitchen, we could not do this without having access to the best ingredients, equipment and tools, including Victorinox Cutlery.
‐‐ Daniel Humm
At the resurrection, there will be the return of spirits to their bodies, the revivification of the bodies, and the remaking of the bodies.
‐‐ Said Nursi
At the risk of appearing disingenuous, I don't really think of myself as 'writing humor.' I'm simply reporting on the world I observe, which is frequently hilarious.
‐‐ Richard Russo
At the risk of being a fuddy-duddy I don't have a computer; I don't have e-mail; and I really don't need something in my house that I would be sitting in front of for hours.
‐‐ Marian McPartland
At the risk of being forgotten completely by the media, I went to college and pursued a passion that had nothing to do with acting: mathematics.
‐‐ Danica McKellar
At the risk of sounding hopelessly romantic, love is the key element. I really love to play with different musicians who come from different cultural backgrounds.
‐‐ Mahavishnu John McLaughlin
At the risk of sounding like a spoilsport, I'd say that pagans have about the same experience of otherness and isolation as anyone else. We're not special in that regard. But this is because the problem of loneliness is almost universal - and that, to my mind, makes it much more serious.
‐‐ Brendan Myers
At the risk of sounding like that old guy in 'Gran Torino' telling those 'young punks' to 'get off my lawn,' it's gotten to the point that whenever I hear somebody talking about Twitter or twittering or tweeting, it just makes my little tummy want to hurl.
‐‐ John Ridley
At the risk of sounding like Virginia Woolf, I could live on £700 a year.
‐‐ Ian Mcewan
At the risk of sounding pedestrian, I'll be completely honest: the first thing I do in the morning is check Google News, partially because it seems sort of random and unbiased and partially because I tend to stay in hotels that don't necessarily have the fastest Internet connections.
‐‐ Moby
At the risk of sounding too cliche, I found a really fantastic church. That is what keeps me grounded.
‐‐ Chyler Leigh
At the root of everything I do is a fascination with ideas - what ideas are for, what jobs they do.
‐‐ Thomas Heatherwick
At the root of many a woman's failure to become a great cook lies her failure to develop a workmanlike regard for knives.
‐‐ Robert Farrar Capon
At the root of the shy temperament is a deep fear of social judgment, one so severe it can sometimes be crippling. Introverted people don't worry unduly about whether they'll be found wanting, they just find too much socializing exhausting and would prefer either to be alone or in the company of a select few people.
‐‐ Jeffrey Kluger
At the roots, people are still people. That's why Shakespeare is so popular no matter what the language.
‐‐ Vint Cerf
At the Sahara, the seats are banked and most of the audience is looking down at the stage. Everybody in the business knows: Up for singers, down for comics. The people want to idealize a singer. They want to feel superior to a comic. You're trying to make them laugh. They can't laugh at someone they're looking up to.
‐‐ Buddy Hackett
At the same time all this was happening, there was a folk song revival movement goingon, so the commercial music industry was actually changed by the Civil Rights Movement.
‐‐ Bernice Johnson Reagon
At the same time as we clearly condemn actions of violence by groups in Palestinian against Israel.
‐‐ Jane Harman
At the same time, as you know, unless you are a comic book reader, Daredevil is not a known thing.
‐‐ Avi Arad
At the same time, Clinton was doing a lot things right, like the economy.
‐‐ Sidney Blumenthal
At the same time, I definitely want to expand my fan base but not at the expense of prostituting my music or heart.
‐‐ George Duke
At the same time, I think books create a sort of network in the reader's mind, with one book reinforcing another. Some books form relationships. Other books stand in opposition. No two writers or readers have the same pattern of interaction.
‐‐ Margaret Mahy
At the same time, I've never been afraid of death or the concept of death.
‐‐ Alex Lifeson
At the same time, I was listening to black music, and I began to think that the best musicians were receiving the worst treatment. The people who were doing the greatest work were despised as lower class, with no dignity accorded to what they did.
‐‐ Henry Flynt
At the same time, I would add that the American people have a lot of courage.
‐‐ Tadao Ando
At the same time, it is obvious that clinicians in Haiti are faced with different, and, in fact, greater, challenges when attempting to treat complications of HIV disease.
‐‐ Paul Farmer
At the same time, it makes me feel like I have to prove myself to the new guys coming in as well as prove myself to the coaching staff, which is a good bit of motivation for me.
