Bedouin ways were hard even for those brought up to them, and for strangers, terrible: a death in life.
‐‐ T. E. Lawrence
Bedside manners are no substitute for the right diagnosis.
‐‐ Alfred P. Sloan
Bedtime rituals for children ease the way to the elsewhere of slumber - teeth brushing and pajamas, the voice of a parent reading, the feel and smell of the old blanket or toy, the nightlight glowing in a corner.

Bee to the blossom, moth to the flame; Each to his passion; what's in a name?
‐‐ Helen Hunt Jackson
Beef is beef, you know. Beef comes, so Beef is real.
‐‐ Obie Trice
Beef should be organic and grass-fed; fish should be wild, not farm raised.
‐‐ Suzanne Somers
Beefs against debt collectors are consistently among the top complaints received by both the FTC and state attorneys general.

Beelzebub is the isolated part of the human being. This part or this real human being has been obscured by religious structures.

Been in this game one-hundred years, but I see new ways to lose 'em I never knew existed before.

Been trading up recently? You have, haven't you? You'll be squawking that you're too rational, too busy and too socially concerned for any of that. But go through the fridge - come to think of it, what about the fridge itself? I bet it's bigger than its predecessor.

Beer is not a good cocktail-party drink, especially in a home where you don't know where the bathroom is.
‐‐ Billy Carter
Beer is the Danish national drink, and the Danish national weakness is another beer.
‐‐ Clementine Paddleford
Beer. It always seems like such a good idea at the time, doesn't it? What's worse is beer seems like an even better idea after you've had some beer.
‐‐ Steven Hall
Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer.
‐‐ Henry Lawson
Beer. Now there's a temporary solution.
‐‐ Dan Castellaneta
Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all.
‐‐ Vanessa Mae
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
‐‐ Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven had a great look. It was very much about the drama of appearance.
‐‐ Boy George
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is the most sublime noise that has ever penetrated into the ear of man.
‐‐ E. M. Forster
Beethoven's fourth and seventh symphonies have a certain amount in common. Well, of course they're both written by Beethoven, but besides that, I would say their overall effect and idea is to provide the listener with an incredible sense of joy.
‐‐ Joshua Bell
Beethoven's importance in music has been principally defined by the revolutionary nature of his compositions. He freed music from hitherto prevailing conventions of harmony and structure.
‐‐ Daniel Barenboim
Beethoven's music tends to move from chaos to order, as if order were an imperative of human existence.
‐‐ Daniel Barenboim
Beethoven's symphonies are not 'relaxing.' They are the most exciting things that have ever been created by a human being.
‐‐ Joshua Bell
Beethoven, Schubert, Schoenberg, Berg imply a type of pianist who is intellectual. That's not always associated with female soloists.
‐‐ Jeffrey Tate
Beethoven suppressed everything, his personal life disappeared until he was locked inside. That is a figure quite extreme.
‐‐ Michael Tippett
Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, and Mozart settled down day after day to the job in hand. They didn't waste time waiting for inspiration.
‐‐ Ernest Newman
Beethoven was a deeply political man in the broadest sense of the word. He was not interested in daily politics, but concerned with questions of moral behaviour and the larger questions of right and wrong affecting the entire society.
‐‐ Daniel Barenboim
'Beetlejuice' was a romp, man. 'Beetlejuice' was fun. I've never had so much fun in my life.
‐‐ Michael Keaton
Beetles and butterflies are sometimes restricted to small areas. Each mountain in a range, and even the different zones of a mountain, may have its own peculiar species. But the house-fly seems to be everywhere. I wonder if any island in mid-ocean is flyless.
‐‐ John Muir
Before 1915, space and time were thought of as a fixed arena in which events took place, but which was not affected by what happened in it. Space and time are now dynamic quantities... space and time not only affect but are also affected by everything that happens in the universe.
‐‐ Stephen Hawking
Before 1972, no actors got residuals. They just got paid. No residuals.
‐‐ John Ratzenberger
Before 1980, it was basically illegal for U.S. banks to invent new products.
‐‐ Scott Cook
Before 2000, everything was about being contextual, and buildings were supposed to be good citizens.
‐‐ Bernard Tschumi
Before 2000, we were unable to design a single car; all the cars were designed in Japan, Europe or somewhere else. We were just converting.

Before 9/11, absolutely, there were concerns about terrorism; but the world fundamentally changed.
‐‐ Richard Fadden
Before 9/11, I was playing a wide range of characters. I would play a lover, a cop, a father. As long as I could create the illusion of the character, the part was given to me. But after 9/11, something changed. We became the villains, the bad guys. I don't mind to play the bad guy as long as the bad guy has a base.
‐‐ Navid Negahban
Before 9/11 there were weak procedures, willingness, and mechanisms for communicating among agencies for foreign intelligence and the FBI with its focus on law enforcement. The domestic-vs.-foreign barrier has been solved by the reforms after 9/11 that established the DNI.
‐‐ Dennis C. Blair
Before a big event, I usually go to church and light a candle for St. Sebastian, who is the patron saint of athletes.
‐‐ Simone Biles
Before a brain can register a thought, a mind must think it... every step of the way is mind over matter... We override our brains all the time.
‐‐ Deepak Chopra
Before a game, I avoid having a heavy meal so that I don't feel sleepy at the board. You eat to be healthy, and that generally takes care of everything. Also, you can't be too finicky, since at tournaments you tend to eat at restaurants here and there. But, as long as you're eating sensibly, it's all good.
‐‐ Viswanathan Anand
Before a game, you know, I can take off my helmet, run over there and spend a few moments with someone who is dealing with so much more than I've ever had to deal with and to love on them and care about them and in front of thousands and thousands of people, you know, let them know that they're more important than all of this.
‐‐ Tim Tebow
Before a group can enter the open society, it must first close ranks.
‐‐ Stokely Carmichael
Before a long-haul flight, buy yourself a cheap, big, comfortable pillow. It makes a huge difference.
‐‐ Bruno Tonioli
Before a man speaks it is always safe to assume that he is a fool. After he speaks, it is seldom necessary to assume it.
‐‐ H. L. Mencken
Before a match, I do not follow any chess news except the games.
‐‐ Viswanathan Anand
Before a race, I block out what's going on in the stadium. It's different for everyone. But for me, I've always been able to block it out. For a sprint race, it's important not to get distracted.
‐‐ Allyson Felix
Before a secret is told, one can often feel the weight of it in the atmosphere.
‐‐ Susan Griffin
Before a shoot, I'll watch what I eat. During the shoot, I watch what I eat. Afterwards, the first thing I do is go have a steak and French fries.
‐‐ Camila Alves
Before a show, you might have aches or pains, or it's a bad rainy day, or it's too humid. We all complain about stuff. But... how do I put this poetically? Once it's the roar of the crowd and the smell of the greasepaint, forget it. Once the adrenaline kicks in and your chest expands, you forget about all that.
‐‐ Gene Simmons
Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology.
