Like the rabid fans of sports, the same goes for fans and their actors, TV shows and movies. You love what you love, and it bonds you with others who love the same thing.
‐‐ Kristoffer Polaha
Like the rest of the city, LAX is coming of age.
‐‐ Dana Goodyear
Like the rest of the genetic lottery, beauty is unfair. Everyone falls short of perfection, but some are luckier than others. Real confidence requires self-knowledge, which includes recognizing one's shortcomings as well as one's strengths.
‐‐ Virginia Postrel
Like the rest of us, Tom Paulin is a bundle of contradictions. At its finest, his work is brave, adventurous, original and wonderfully idiosyncratic.
‐‐ Terry Eagleton
Like the sand and the oyster, it's a creative irritant. In each poem, I'm trying to reveal a truth, so it can't have a fictional beginning.
‐‐ Carol Ann Duffy
Like the seasons of the year, like history, truth also repeats itself. But we seldom recognize it when great poets or true artists - the prophets and the priests of our day - present it to us in garments spick and span, following the fashion of the age, the slant of its fancy, the turn and temper of its mind.

Like the skyscraper, the automobile, and the motion-picture palace, neon signs once symbolized popular hopes for a new era of technological achievement and commercial abundance. From the 1920s to the 1950s, neon-lit streets pulsed with visual excitement from Vancouver to Miami.

‐‐ Robert H. Grubbs
Like the 'test tube babies' born of in vitro fertilization, cloned children need not be identifiable, much less freaks or outcasts.
‐‐ Virginia Postrel
Like the TV networks, once our government has a hit, it will be repeated over and over again.
‐‐ Gore Vidal
Like the United Nations, there is something inspirational about New York as a great melting pot of different cultures and traditions. And if this is the city that never sleeps, the United Nations works tirelessly, around the clock around the world.

Like the vast majority of my constituents, I continue to be concerned about record profits reported by petroleum companies at a time when consumers are paying record high prices for gasoline.
‐‐ Mike Rogers
Like the winds that we come we know not whence and blow whither soever they list, the forces of society are derived from an obscure and distant origin. They arise before the date of philosophy, from the instincts, not the speculations of men.
‐‐ Adam Ferguson
Like the women in my family, I've found the women in my lab a hard-nosed, ambitious lot who have gone on to be faculty members at top universities. In my own family, it is my father who is prone to bursting into tears.
‐‐ Venkatraman Ramakrishnan
Like their personal lives, women's history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.
‐‐ Elizabeth Janeway
Like their predecessors, the Presidents of today just throw up their hands.
‐‐ Stephen Ambrose

Like, to do a pilot, you don't know what's going to happen with it.

Like to me, I did the 'Harajuku' stuff. I did the crazy stuff. And now I kind of want to tone that back, and it's not toning my personality back, it's just showing like I don't only have to do that.
‐‐ Nicki Minaj
Like 'Twin Peaks,' '24,' 'Mad Men,' and 'The Sopranos' before it, 'Downton Abbey' enriches the iconography and collective lore of pop culture. It replenishes the stream.
‐‐ James Wolcott
Like two single gentlemen rolled into one.
‐‐ George Colman
Like Venice, Italy, New Orleans is a cultural treasure. And everyone who lived in the city should be allowed to come back. But that doesn't mean that they all should live in exactly the same spot that they lived before.
‐‐ Ed McMahon
Like wars, forest fires and bad marriages, really stupid laws are much easier to begin than they are to end.

Like what you do, if you don't like it, do something else.

Like when I'm singing live I can't hear myself. I'm just listening to the rest of the band. To listen to my voice, it doesn't even feel like it's me.
‐‐ Sia Furler
Like, when I write a song, the song comes first before production. Everything is written on an acoustic guitar so you can strip away everything from it and have it be equally as entertaining and good without the bells and whistles.
‐‐ Taylor Momsen
Like when you go to a magic show and you know how they do the illusions. That's how I am when I watch any movies where they have people flying through the air.
‐‐ Renee O'Connor
Like Winston Churchill said, 'Never give up,' and I won't give up. It's a miracle that we even got on the air, and I'm very pleased with the ratings and the response.
‐‐ Cristina Saralegui
Like with any good art form, if you can entertain people and make them think, it's an honor. It's just an honor to be a comedian.
‐‐ Bob Saget
Like with Berle, he was always trying to steal the scene, get a little extra.
‐‐ Phil Silvers
Like, with one arm I know I can surf, but competitive surfing can be really frustrating, and sometimes you don't do as well as you want to. It can be discouraging at times. But whenever I do get frustrated, I just focus on God.
‐‐ Bethany Hamilton
Like with 'Parks and Recreation,' it's so much fun because the people writing it are funny and they're open and you just go in there and have a good time. It's pretty much the easiest job I've ever had.

Like Yoga, the spiritual life is actually very difficult.
‐‐ Sting

‐‐ John Lee Hooker
Like, you can find your dream, if you firmly believe. You have to have the innocence, and you have to have the daringness to trust.
‐‐ Bai Ling
Like you can't have a car that can take the kids to schools on Friday and win the grand prix on Saturday, you can't make a microscope that can do it all.
