It would be sad if my best work had been 20 years ago and now I only had memories.
‐‐ Demian Bichir
It would be sad if the expertise built up during the 40 years of the U.S. and Russian manned programmes were allowed to dissipate. But abandoning the shuttle, and committing to new launch vehicles and propulsion systems, is actually a prerequisite for a vibrant manned programme.
‐‐ Martin Rees
It would be sad if we lost our instinct and our courage to love and protect.
‐‐ Emeli Sande
It would be simpler going to an Olympic Games knowing you had to nail one trick that you've done a hundred times, and if you do it, you'll win. Or if you're a swimmer, if you swim a certain time, you will win. In BMX, there are no guarantees.
‐‐ Caroline Buchanan
It would be so depressing to be a model and not get to say a word. There's no personality involved.
‐‐ Olivia Wilde
It would be so simple for the government to support farmers to become more profitable and farm sustainably.
‐‐ Kimbal Musk
It would be so simple to allow children, when tired of sitting, to rise, and when tired of writing, to desist, and then their bones would not be twisted.
‐‐ Maria Montessori
It would be so weird if we knew just as much as we needed to know to answer all the questions of the universe. Wouldn't that be freaky? Whereas the probability is high that there is a vast reality that we have no way to perceive, that's actually bearing down on us now and influencing everything.
‐‐ George Saunders
It would be Spiderman. I'd love to be Peter Parker.
‐‐ Casper Van Dien
It would be spiteful to put a Jellyfish in a trifle.
‐‐ Karl Pilkington
It would be stupid tameness, and unaccountable folly, for whole nations to suffer one unreasonable, ambitious and cruel man, to wanton and riot in their misery.
‐‐ Jonathan Mayhew
It would be suicide in the American academy to show too early an interest beyond your doctoral specialization: charges of everything from charlatanry to ambition would be levied and tenure denied. I've seen this first-hand.
‐‐ Tony Judt
It would be terribly boring to be earnest.
‐‐ Adrien Brody
It would be the ultimate dream for me to win an Academy Award, be in love and have kids. Then I would say, 'Life is great! I have done everything I wanted.'
‐‐ Tara Reid
It would be thrilling if I could be boycotted or something. I think that's part of the thrill Madonna gets, when you know you've hit a nerve. But that doesn't scare me. To me what would be a lot scarier would be like appearing on an episode of 'Full House' or something.
‐‐ Julie Brown
It would be thrilling, obviously, to be able to have a woman and an openly LGBT person as the mayor of New York City.
‐‐ Christine Quinn
It would be too frightening for me to consider myself a role model. But I like the idea of not being afraid of letting your imagination rule you, to feel the freedom of expression, to let creativity be your overwhelming drive rather than other things.
‐‐ Florence Welch
It would be troubling if everything is determined by whether profits will be made within five to six years.
‐‐ Masatoshi Koshiba
It would be unthinkable in Canadian public life today for the public inauguration of our supreme political figures to be accompanied by prayer.
‐‐ Stockwell Day
It would be unthinkable to have a top-ten list of multiple narrative novels that doesn't include David Mitchell. 'Cloud Atlas' is the most obvious choice, but I have opted for Mitchell's slightly lesser known debut, 'Ghostwritten.'
‐‐ Susan Barker
It would be unwise for the modern Republican Party to come across as hostile to immigration. That has been the losing position in American history for 200 years.
‐‐ Grover Norquist
It would be unwise to say the least, irresponsible of us at the TSA, at the Homeland Security Department not to evolve our technology to match the changing threat environment that we inhabit.
‐‐ Janet Napolitano
It would be useless for any player to attempt to explain successful batting.
‐‐ Tris Speaker
It would be very discouraging if somewhere down the line you could ask a computer if the Riemann hypothesis is correct and it said, 'Yes, it is true, but you won't be able to understand the proof.'
‐‐ Ronald Graham
It would be very easy for us to do a collection that everybody would like and not criticize. But criticism is a part of life. You have to take it.
‐‐ Donatella Versace
It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.
‐‐ Andy Warhol
It would be very ungrateful of me to turn my back or stop doing work in Latin America.
‐‐ Jaime Camil
It would be very, very dangerous for a wire walker to experience fear while he is balancing on the wire. Fear has its place on earth, before and maybe after a high-wire walk, but not during for me.
‐‐ Philippe Petit
It would be wholly wrong constitutionally for the unelected House of Lords to do anything, to kill anything of a financial nature that has been through the House of Commons not once but twice.
‐‐ Nigel Lawson
It would be wonderful if I could see the end of civilization during my lifetime.
‐‐ Hayao Miyazaki
It would be wonderful if the public sector were always great, or always terrible; or if the private sector were always great, or always terrible. Alas, reality is more complicated than comforting caricatures. Governments fail, and corporations fail.
‐‐ Jon Meacham
It would be wonderful to become what Oprah has become: she is in such a class of her own, as an entrepreneur, as a performer and an icon. The idea of building a series of programmes and choosing people that I think have talent to do them would be a very interesting idea. I would love to show that television can have soul, depth and range.
‐‐ Charlie Rose
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
‐‐ Alan Rickman
It would be wrong for us to offer difference from the Conservative Party at the cost of credibility, but equally it would be wrong to offer credibility at the cost of being clear that there remain very fundamental differences.
‐‐ Douglas Alexander
It would be wrong to assume that one must stay with a research programme until it has exhausted all its heuristic power, that one must not introduce a rival programme before everybody agrees that the point of degeneration has probably been reached.
‐‐ Imre Lakatos
It would be wrong to say I enjoy having rows, because that would be un-Christian. If people attack me, then I respond, or if they do very wicked things. Then they must be brought to book.
‐‐ Paul Johnson
It would be wrong to say that the city of Berlin is not regulated. What I think is more interesting is to what extent a city creates a sort of safe haven for its users, so that people feel confident that the city works on their behalf.
‐‐ Olafur Eliasson
It would behoove the world to become used to this fact: that without a just solution to the Palestine tragedy, there can be no stable peace in the Middle East.
‐‐ Hussein of Jordan
It would bother me if a judge told me how I had to believe.
‐‐ Roy Moore
It would certainly be interesting to know what the CIA knew about Oswald six weeks before the assassination, but the contents of this particular message never reached the Warren Commission and remain a complete mystery.
‐‐ Jim Garrison
It would do the world good if every man would compel himself occasionally to be absolutely alone. Most of the world s progress has come out of such loneliness.
‐‐ Bruce Barton
It would drive me crazy if I picked roles with the goal of being a leading man. You never know what you're getting into when you sign onto a project, and more times than not, the characters that are close to the leading man are more interesting and more fun to play.
‐‐ Jesse Plemons
It would feel like a smack in the face to sign with any label outside of Dre's. He took a risk on me, and that means everything.
‐‐ Anderson Paak
It would follow that 'significant form' was form behind which we catch a sense of ultimate reality.
‐‐ Clive Bell
It would have been a helluva lot more fun if I had not hit those sixty-one home runs.
‐‐ Roger Maris
It would have been a lot of fun as a receiver to play.
‐‐ Steve Largent
It would have been a very, very good thing if the next election after Margaret went we had lost.
‐‐ Denis Thatcher
It would have been amazing to have been a student at Oxford during that golden moment in the 1910s, rubbing elbows with the likes of Aldous Huxley and T.E. Lawrence, before World War I shattered everything forever.
‐‐ Kevin Kwan
It would have been an interesting run if we hadn't gotten along! It was good casting, I suppose.
‐‐ Dominic West
