The original way to play beach volleyball was in a bikini and board shorts, and I don't know what else they want us to wear.

The origins of Indian classical music, not unlike their western counterparts, lie in the Vedas, the ancient Hindu scriptures of 2,000 years ago.

The origins of my career as a peace mediator can be found from my childhood years. I was born in the city of Viipuri, then still part of Finland. We lost Viipuri when the Soviet Union attacked my country. Along with 400,000 fellow Karelians, I became an eternally displaced person in the rest of Finland.

The origins of violence against women by men are not biological. If that were the case, it would exist in every culture. And it doesn't exist in every culture.

The Orioles' Dick Hall comes off the mound like a drunk kangaroo on roller skates.

The Orion capsule uses an escape system quite like that of the Apollo spacecraft in the 1960s and 70s: an 'escape tower' containing a solid-fuel rocket that will pull it up and away from Ares I in a pinch.

The orphan in children's literature allows the child protagonist to move the story forward themselves. I think that, however happy a family, every intelligent child thinks: 'How did I come to be born to these parents?' - it is about finding your place in the world.

The Orthodox believe in Jewish literacy, and most of the rest of us couldn't care less. Rabbis and other creatures have a monopoly on Judaism. This is a turnoff in a world that is increasingly secular and that has turned away from religion. Jews are simply turning away from Judaism.
‐‐ Michael Steinhardt
The orthodox believers in God are divided into two camps, one of which maintains that the existence of God is as demonstrable as any mathematical proposition, while the other asserts that his existence is not demonstrable to the intellect.
‐‐ Annie Besant
The Orthodox hierarchy doesn't have the kind of power that high-ranking clergy do in other churches. There isn't even a worldwide governing board to hold all the various Orthodox bodies together.
‐‐ Frederica Mathewes-Green
The orthodox Jewish faith practically excludes woman from religious life.
‐‐ Abraham Cahan
The orthogonal features, when combined, can explode into complexity.
‐‐ Yukihiro Matsumoto
The Orwellian vision was about state-sponsored surveillance. Now it's not just the state, it's your nosy neighbor, your ex-spouse and people who want to spam you.
‐‐ Howard Rheingold
The Oscar buzz when I was nominated was totally overwhelming. I think I can cope with anything now that I've coped with that. It was huge. It makes you realize, coming from a small country like Australia, what an enormous industry it is in America.
‐‐ Jacki Weaver
The Oscar changed everything. Better salary, working with better people, better projects, more exposure, less privacy.
‐‐ Kathy Bates
The Oscar is not a curse. The real curse is that once you have an Oscar they think you can do anything.
‐‐ Luise Rainer
The Oscar is very beautiful, utterly mesmeric, but I don't feel any more important because I have won one. It doesn't mean I'm any better than anyone.
‐‐ Cate Blanchett
The Oscar made me a star, and I'm grateful. But I feel had I not won the Oscar I wouldn't have gotten into the messes I did in my personal life.
‐‐ Ernest Borgnine
The Oscar nomination is great. It's a great pat on the back. And I like that.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
The Oscar nomination made me a recognizable name to other actors and people in general.
‐‐ Carol Kane
The Oscar sits on some shelf above my desk. If there was an earthquake, I could actually be killed by my own Academy Award.
‐‐ Helen Hunt
The Oscars are a lot different when you are a nominee. You walk around with this big smile on your face, and everyone, even people who work for rival film companies, tells you they voted for you.
‐‐ Samuel Goldwyn
The Oscars are about the dynamics of that moment, of that season. It reflects what's been going on in the world every year through the movies. And a lot of times, what's popular at the movies is popular because of what's going on in the world at that moment.
‐‐ Bruce Vilanch
The Oscars are really nice, but the best part is that I had the opportunity to do that kind of work.
‐‐ Sally Field
The Oscars have become such a big deal these days that it's just used as adjective.
‐‐ Mira Sorvino
The Oscars is a sport. There's the excitement of watching something live, as it happens.
‐‐ Neil Meron
The Oscars is always the most special event of Awards Season and is the grand finale - there's just something about the atmosphere that makes it magical.
‐‐ Carly Steel
The Oslo Accords in 1993 determined that the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are a single territorial entity which cannot be divided. Immediately, the United States and Israel set about separating the two and making sure that they would not be united.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
The ostensible subject of my photographs may be motion, but the subtext is time. A dancer's movements illustrate the passage of time, giving it a substance, materiality, and space. In my photographs, time is stopped, a split second becomes an eternity, and an ephemeral moment is solid as sculpture.
‐‐ Lois Greenfield
The other actresses, who are called my contemporaries, they started with a megastar. They were superstars overnight and are the same even today.
‐‐ Kangana Ranaut
The other advantage is that in conventional manufacturing processes, it takes a long time for a factory to produce an amount of product equal to its own weight. With molecular machines, the time required would be something more like a minute.
‐‐ K. Eric Drexler
The other are the strategic, so-called strategic stocks that the United States and the other Western industrial countries have, which could put in as much as four million barrels a day of oil into the market pretty quickly.
‐‐ Daniel Yergin
The other aspect of American identity worth focusing on is the concept of America as a nation of immigrants. That certainly is a partial truth. But it is often assumed to be the total truth.
‐‐ Samuel P. Huntington
The other aspect of idealism is the one which gives us our notion of the absolute Self. To it the first is only preparatory. This second aspect is the one which from Kant, until the present time, has formed the deeper problem of thought.
‐‐ Josiah Royce
The other classes of which society was composed were, first, freemen, owners of small portions of land, independent, though they sometimes voluntarily became the vassals of their more opulent neighbors, whose power was necessary for their protection.
‐‐ Thomas Bulfinch
The other countries did not share the same concern the United States had in the early '90's - that North Korea actually had an ongoing nuclear weapons program.
‐‐ Mitchell Reiss
The other day, a doughnut shop in Portland called Pip's Originals tweeted me telling me that they named a doughnut after me called the 'Dirty Wu.' It is a cinnamon sugar doughnut drizzled with honey and Nutella. It was so good. I just won the Oscar in the sci-fi world.
‐‐ Reggie Lee
The other day at a drive-through, I reminded the teenage girl serving me that she forgot my drinks. She looked at me, hissed, rolled her eyes, and then took her sweet time getting me the sodas.
‐‐ Neil Cavuto
The other day I got a text from a boy, but it wasn't hot. I mean, if you're going to text me every day, you haven't seen me for months and you're trying to seduce me, you'd better spice up that text and make it more exciting than 'How was your day? I hope you're having a beautiful one.' Sadly, I haven't been doing a lot of kissing lately.
‐‐ Chloe Sevigny
The other day, I noticed I'd arranged my spices in alphabetical order when I was on the phone, without even realizing, and when I was a kid I was constantly cleaning and organizing things - my toys, my sister's cosmetics.
‐‐ Jayma Mays
The other day I... uh, no, that wasn't me.
‐‐ Steven Wright
The other day I was reading a blog and I linked over to Streisand's Web site, and it was amazing politically. She's so insightful and incisive. And she also says whatever she wants.
‐‐ Liz Phair
The other day I was thinking - because I get a lot of headaches - I was wondering whether the head should be where it is. Because, at the end of the day, it's probably the heaviest part of your body, right? And yet it's at the top as opposed to, I don't, dangling at the bottom somewhere.
‐‐ Karl Pilkington
The other day I went to a movie with some friends, and they were like, 'Let's look it up on the Internet and see what people are saying,' and I was like, 'Man, that's messed up.'
‐‐ Nikki Sixx
The other day in the garage, I found a book report from the seventh grade that I did about silent movie stars. It's funny to look at now, because it really foretold what my future would be.
‐‐ Mark Bridges
The other day, someone called me this generation's Bruce Dern - I'd never thought of that, and frankly, I don't know enough of Bruce Dern's work to comment on it, though he is an incredible actor.
‐‐ Garret Dillahunt
The other day the President said, I know you've had some rough times, and I want to do something that will show the nation what faith that I have in you, in your maturity and sense of responsibility. He paused, then said, would you like a puppy?
‐‐ Dan Quayle
The other day they asked me about mandatory drug testing. I said I believed in drug testing a long time ago. All through the sixties I tested everything.
‐‐ Bill Lee
The other deals with my life and my livelihood and my family and all that I stand for.
