Like anyone, you could love someone, and it doesn't mean that you're equipped or you were taught or have the patience or the love or the wherewithal to be a good parent. One has nothing to do with the other.
‐‐ Elizabeth Rodriguez
Like anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.
‐‐ Stephen King
Like anything, I think there are some wonderful found footage movies, and there are some less good. Certainly when it's done well, I really love it. I really love it as a genre.
‐‐ Drew Goddard
Like anything important, anything you need people to hear - you've got to have music for it. You've got to make it at least a little piece of a song or sometimes a whole song.
‐‐ Trey Parker
Like anything, you don't force kids to cook. It just becomes part of life - have them be around it, keep them informed - talk about it. I try to relay my passion for it in these ways. The second you try to force anything on your own kid, they rebel.
‐‐ Todd English
Like anywhere, we had to make people understand that we were there with good intentions, and that we were there with respect. We started making contacts with the people in the neighborhood three months before shooting began, so that everyone involved was comfortable.
‐‐ Mathieu Kassovitz
Like art and politics, gangsterism is a very important avenue of assimilation into society.
‐‐ E. L. Doctorow
Like art, revolutions come from combining what exists into what has never existed before.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
Like associates with like.
‐‐ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Like at Halloween: I knew I'd arrived when I saw people dressing up on Halloween as my character.
‐‐ Jane Badler
Like at home, I don't wear heels. But everywhere else I go, I wear heels.
‐‐ Nastia Liukin
Like, Australians definitely don't walk around dressed up in blackface going, 'Ha-ha.'
‐‐ Chris Lilley
Like baseball, food will never go out of style; we will always need to eat and we will always find it entertaining. I think of food TV this way - all the fun and none of the calories.
‐‐ Gail Simmons
Like basketball, fashion is hard work.
‐‐ Amar'e Stoudemire
Like beautiful homes, cute babies, or noble careers helping others, books can make us feel like we mean something positive, and in gratitude, we truly love them.
‐‐ Nell Zink
Like blind hens, we are ignorant of our own self and the depths within us.
‐‐ Johannes Tauler
Like bones to the human body, the axle to the wheel, the wing to the bird, and the air to the wing, so is liberty the essence of life. Whatever is done without it is imperfect.
‐‐ Jose Marti
Like books you will never have the chance to read, there are languages you do not know, and you're not going to get a chance to learn, so you'll never really know what was written, only the approximation.
‐‐ James Salter
Like brown rice, black rice is unmilled, and it is the dark outer husk that makes it so nutty and chewy. It's also why it takes longer to cook than many other rices.
‐‐ Yotam Ottolenghi
Like Canada, we very much wanted the United Nations to be a relevant and effective body. But once those efforts failed, we no longer saw things from a multilateral perspective. For us, now, it is much more basic than that. It is about family.
‐‐ Paul Cellucci
Like cars, every relationship requires a bit of an occasional service, and fine-tuning should be compulsory.
‐‐ Mariella Frostrup
Like Cato, give his little senate laws, and sit attentive to his own applause.
‐‐ Alexander Pope
Like charity, I believe glamour should begin at home.
‐‐ Loretta Young
Like children, adolescents need a framework. Otherwise they can't cope. When someone has unlimited freedom, it means there's nobody who cares what they're doing.
‐‐ Joan Lingard
Like children all over the world, by the age of 10 I'd come to believe that most of the really humane creatures were not really human at all.
‐‐ Andrew O'Hagan
Like Christ said, love thee one another. I learned to do that, and I learned to respect and be appreciative and thankful for what I had.
‐‐ James Brown
Like Christians, Soccerians argue that you should not judge the essence of their faith by the loopy activities of its followers. But the Beautiful Game is in fact quite the opposite. It is badly designed and riddled with flaws.
‐‐ Craig Brown
Like civil-rights protesters who sang rousing hymns as they were carried off to jail, Twitterers are bearing witness to what's happening around them, and calling out into the darkness of cyberspace for confirmation. I'm here. You're here, too. We are present.
‐‐ Douglas Rushkoff
Like Confucius of old, I am so absorbed in the wonder of the earth and the life upon it, that I cannot think of heaven and the angels.
‐‐ Pearl S. Buck
Like crime, terrorism is a fact of life. I grew up in Israel, where every unattended bag was a suspected bomb; when my family moved for a few years, it was to London in the early years of 'the Troubles.'
‐‐ Yochai Benkler
Like dancers with choreography or actors with scripts, jazz singers could take material that was known, even loved, then risk interpreting and revising it. They could conceal even as they revealed themselves. Inflection, timing and tonality were their language, at least as much as words.
‐‐ Margo Jefferson
Like David Copperfield, I was born amidst poverty and grew up in poverty. I did not own shoes. I did not bathe in water from a tap. I did no know about forks and spoons.
‐‐ Sukarno
Like De Niro. He's one of the best character actors we have ever had.
‐‐ Vincent D'Onofrio
Like Disneyland, luxury retailers have long had to figure out how to overcome customers' natural inertia. Unlike less pricey stores, they tend not to attract idle browsers who make impulse purchases.
‐‐ Virginia Postrel
Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top.
‐‐ Robert Browning
Like dreams, statistics are a form of wish fulfillment.
‐‐ Jean Baudrillard
Like, even when I speak, I think I speak the same way I write. I kind of see it a certain way, and it leads me to write it exactly how I'm seeing it.
‐‐ Anthony Hamilton
Like every American, I will never forget where I was on the morning of September 11, 2001. As a member of Congress from Indiana, that day my duties took me to Capitol Hill and to sights and sounds I will never forget.
‐‐ Mike Pence
Like every art form, there are jealousies and angers and competitiveness in magic. But there's camaraderie among magicians, whether you perform it for a living or you're an enthusiast.
‐‐ Ricky Jay
Like every artist that comes out, you want to make a mark; you want to be a household name and you want to be someone that people are going to look back in ten years/fifteen years' time and go, 'I love this guy Olly Murs. He was brilliant back in the day; he was someone I really, really liked.'
‐‐ Olly Murs
Like every aspect of cancer I've weathered thus far, today's experience was not at all demoralizing, expensive or humiliating. No, it was just plain fun.
‐‐ April Winchell
Like every audition I go on, I do my best, but after that, I let it go because, you know, the rejection rate is so great in Hollywood, and I can only control what I do in the audition, and after that it's up to somebody else.
‐‐ Ian Ziering
Like every Canadian, I have been taught that one of the most important functions of art is to supply and elaborate the myths and narratives of nationhood.
‐‐ Miriam Toews
Like every child growing up in America, I read 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'Huckleberry Finn.' I liked them well enough, but I didn't love them.
‐‐ Caroline Lawrence
Like every comedian, if I heard a joke that I thought would work, I used it.
‐‐ Milton Berle
Like, every couple of months you read, they rewrite, you come back in, they've animated more stuff - they usually videotape you while you're reading it - so they'll incorporate some gestures and some facial expressions into it.
‐‐ John Goodman
Like every girl, I felt amazing pressure to look like the popular girls, but no one told me the popular girls were all air brushed in magazines.
‐‐ Jewel
Like every girl, we don't talk about our surgeries.
‐‐ Candis Cayne
Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work.
‐‐ Aldous Huxley
