Sitting by the chimney corner as we grow old, the commonest things around us take on live meanings and hint at the difference between these driving times and the calm, slow moving days when we were young.

Sitting down and sharing a meal together combines two of my favorite loves: eating great food and talking about great food.
‐‐ Homaro Cantu
Sitting down at the table is a sacred event. It's the heart of the home. People have ginormous homes or crappy little homes, but the kitchen is where we always end up sitting. It's where the stories happen, the family happens.
‐‐ Debi Mazar
Sitting down for dinner not only helps you learn, but also teaches you how to listen - which I feel is the most important skill to have. I remember as a kid going around the table listening to everyone's day. It was hard to have the manners not to interrupt back then.

Sitting down to a meal with an Indian family is different from sitting down to a meal with a British family.
‐‐ Roland Joffe
Sitting down to eat in our house is about sharing, you know, talking about the day you've had, be it in school or work or whatever, so that's very important to us.
‐‐ Liam Neeson
Sitting here now today, I can forgive a lot of the English people because it only takes a hand full of bad people to do something stupid like that and it can make the whole country look bad.
‐‐ Marvin Hagler
Sitting in America, we never get to know the other side in any kind of believable way. We have so many movies about Iraq, Afghanistan, and this and that, but there is never a character from that side.
‐‐ Mira Nair
Sitting in my favorite coffeehouse with a new notebook and a hot cup of java is my idea of Heaven.
‐‐ Libba Bray
Sitting in the Oval Office, beneath a painting of George Washington, with a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. over his right shoulder and a bust of Abraham Lincoln over his left shoulder, Obama told 'National Journal' that the country's economic woes are deep and endemic.
‐‐ Ron Fournier
Sitting in this chair, my recommendation would carry too much weight.
‐‐ Michael Ritchie
Sitting next to Olivia Newton-John, I was like, 'Do not sing one song from Grease.' That's all I was telling my brain at all times: 'Do not sing Hopelessly Devoted. Don't do it.'
‐‐ Caroline Rhea
Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone's singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
Sitting on a corporate board is a hobby for me.
‐‐ Gordon Gee
Sitting on the airplane seat today, I was thinking - I have been in different cities every week. Most of the time, it's because of golf tournaments. But occasionally, I also attend various events. All of a sudden, I feel like I am a business woman. Although sometimes I feel tired, I do enjoy this kind of life.
‐‐ Yani Tseng
Sitting with a bunch of adults and arguing about what's going to be most effective for kids is just sort of self-defeating.
‐‐ Jake Barton
Sitting with a deck of cards in your hand all day is an obsession. Visiting print shops and bookstores and libraries is an obsession. And writing about this is an obsession. I think, in general, most collectors are obsessed. I think the only form of a rationalized greed is when you're collecting something you are supposedly serious about.
‐‐ Ricky Jay
Situation comedies are old-fashioned - they stick to formulas. I resent their music which is old fashioned. I resent the use of a laugh track.
‐‐ Bill Bixby
Situation comedy on television has thrived for years on 'canned' laughter, grafted by gaglines by technicians using records of guffawing audiences that have been dead for years.
‐‐ Russell Baker
Situational unawareness in the private marketplace or on the battlefield will cost you your livelihood or your life. In the Age of Obama, however, such willful ignorance is a job prerequisite. The less you know the better.
‐‐ Michelle Malkin
Situational variables can exert powerful influences over human behavior, more so that we recognize or acknowledge.
‐‐ Philip Zimbardo
Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!
‐‐ John Lydon
Siva is one of the best writers in the industry, and 'Srimanthudu' is a great script.
‐‐ Mahesh Babu
Six decades ago, as Mao's Communists seized power, the question in Washington was, 'Who lost China?' Now, as his capitalist descendants stand astride the world stage and Washington worries about decline, it seems to be, 'Who lost America?'

Six feet three in her stocking feet, L'Wren Scott was every inch a great lady.
‐‐ Hamish Bowles
'Six Feet Under,' for me, was college. Alan Ball and Alan Poul ran that show and really taught me what it meant to really run a show in a classic way.
‐‐ Jill Soloway
'Six Feet Under' was about repressing our deepest, most primal impulses, and 'True Blood' is about giving full sway to them all the time. In a way they are like yin and yang.
‐‐ Alan Ball
'Six Feet Under' was so much about life. Sure, it had a lot to do with death, but that's the fun - that now I became a dead person.
‐‐ Frances Conroy
Six hours a day I lived under school discipline in active intercourse with people none of whom were known to those at home, and the other hours of the twenty-four I spent at home, or with relatives of the people at home, none of whom were known to anybody at school.
‐‐ Georg Brandes
Six innings, you're doing your job. That's a good target to have, but I'm always looking to improve. There's three more innings of improvement left.
‐‐ Drew Pomeranz
Six is the hardest number for me to experience, the smallest. It's the absence of something - it's cold, dark, almost like a black hole. If someone tells me they are depressed, I might imagine myself in the hole of a six to help me empathise.
‐‐ Daniel Tammet
Six men can carry you or 12 men can judge you. You decide!
‐‐ Duane Chapman
Six months after that, I left Taiwan, first for Hong Kong and then for mainland China, where I spent another three months studying still more Chinese and generally kicking around the country.
‐‐ Eric Allin Cornell
Six months after we started, in 1964, there was a day when we sold only seven sandwiches. If we'd taken all the money from the register, we couldn't have paid an employee, much less the food or the rent or all that. It could have been a turning point. We could have given up.
‐‐ Fred DeLuca
Six months ago, I traveled to India to see firsthand what the prime minister of that country calls a national shame. It is the systematic, widespread, shocking elimination of India's baby girls. Some 50,000 female fetuses are aborted every month in India.
‐‐ Elizabeth Vargas
Six months later I was in Paris. I was 16, and it all started to happen.
‐‐ Eva Herzigova
Six-year-olds are very wrapped up in their own lives, and that's the way it should be.
‐‐ Steve Carell
Six years ago, I completed the premier episode of Hawaii Five-O, and Jack Lord and I immediately realized that we had a good series, that this was a success such as we'd never hoped for!
‐‐ James MacArthur
Six years, I didn't act. Then I wrote myself a role - I won prizes all over the world.
‐‐ Xavier Dolan
Six years is a long time. To leave the fans with their hands in the air and to come back six years later, and the people still have their hands in the air, that's nothing but God. I'm standing in a position that's so humbling.
‐‐ Mystikal
Six years old, and I already knew that my natural home was the world inside the head.
‐‐ Dave Morris
Sixteen- and 17-year-olds pay taxes and can join the army, so surely they should in turn be given their right to vote.
‐‐ Lucy Powell
Sixteen games, to me, is a long enough schedule for anybody. We're already concerning ourselves with head injuries and bodily harm to all of the professional athletes. Add to extra games to it, (and) you are just increasing those risks.
‐‐ Emmitt Smith
Sixteen is a hard time. A lot of kids are experimenting with things.
‐‐ Leslie Mann
Sixteen million colors in your palette are hard for any artist, especially a beginner, to turn down.
‐‐ Buffy Sainte-Marie
Sixteen percent of our population is rural, but 40 percent of our military is rural. I don't believe that's because of a lack of opportunity in rural America. I believe that's because if you grow up in rural America, you know you can't just keep taking from the land. You've got to give something back.
‐‐ Tom Vilsack
Sixteen times a year, all thirty-two NFL teams give us what we're looking for: speed, skill, violence, fantasy league orgasms and a final score. No confusion. No doubt. No indecision. A winner and a loser.
‐‐ Mike Barnicle
Sixteen Tons was written eight years before I recorded it.
‐‐ Tennessee Ernie Ford
Sixteen years as a freelance features journalist taught me that neither the absence of 'the Muse' nor the presence of 'the block' should be allowed to hinder the orderly progress of a book.
