The role of the intelligence - that part of us which affirms and denies and formulates opinions is merely to submit.
‐‐ Simone Weil
The role of the musician is to go from concept to full execution. Put another way, it's to go from understanding the content of something to really learning how to communicate it and make sure it's well-received and lives in somebody else.
‐‐ Yo-Yo Ma
The role of the pastor is to embody the gospel. And of course to get it embodied, which you can only do with individuals, not in the abstract.
‐‐ Eugene H. Peterson
The role of the teacher remains the highest calling of a free people. To the teacher, America entrusts her most precious resource, her children; and asks that they be prepared... to face the rigors of individual participation in a democratic society.
‐‐ Shirley Hufstedler
The role of TV at the core of the family is that of an electric nanny.
‐‐ Pedro Reyes
The role of women has always been undervalued in the spy world, always undermined in terms of recognition. Unfairly so. It's a world that needs women.
‐‐ Helen Mirren
The role seemed to demand that I keep myself worked up to fever pitch, so I took on the actual attributes of the horrible vampire, Dracula.
‐‐ Bela Lugosi
The role that blood plays in Christian iconography is huge - the washing of the blood, the shedding of blood, the blood of the cross, the crucifixion, the violence of that imagery. These are horrific, and yet they are at the center of the Christian faith. There is a place where beauty and terror merge, and it's at the cross.
‐‐ Scott Derrickson
The role that I play as a lone striker, I enjoy it and particularly playing with great players.
‐‐ Jermain Defoe
The role that I played in Ukraine ended up resulting in Ukraine becoming part of the European community.
‐‐ Paul Manafort
The role we can play every day, if we try, is to take the whole experience of every day and shape it to involve American man. It is our job to interest him in his community and to give his ideas the excitement they should have.
‐‐ John Hay Whitney
The roles for South Asians may have increased by a decent number but there has been a negligible change in the quality of these roles. We still have to fight stereotypes. Fortunately, I've had the priviledge of working with people who look beyond the color of your skin.
‐‐ Lavrenti Lopes
The roles for women in theatre are much better than they are in film.
‐‐ Kim Cattrall
The roles I'm interested in or have been interested in, you know, it's going to get down to conflict. Drama is conflict - conflict of interests.
‐‐ Ben Foster
The roles I was lucky enough to get were real stretches for me: usually a character who was older, or a little weird, or whatever. And it was hard, not just for the lack of work but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you.
‐‐ Kathy Bates
The roles of art, morality, religion, political faith, science itself are not to repair organic exhaustion nor to provide sound functioning of the organs. All this supraphysical life is built and expanded not because of the demands of the cosmic environment but because of the demands of the social environment.
‐‐ Emile Durkheim
The roles that have come into my life have taught me - and in that time period maybe I didn't even know it, but whatever came up or whatever it is that you have to express at that time, has benefitted me in a particular way.
‐‐ Emma Stone
The roles that I feel I get, or handed to me, or whatever, are not that interesting. I don't think it's a problem that's specific to black women. I think it's a problem that's specific to movie-making in America.
‐‐ Aunjanue Ellis
The roles that men and women play are no longer the standard traditional roles of way back when but are those of two very individual people living their lives. I think it's been a hard transition in society - just take a look at the divorce rate - to figure out what that means now. How do you resolve that?
‐‐ Lisa Edelstein
The roles... the deep roles that I've gotten to play have turned my course. They've changed my life experience.
‐‐ Sally Field
The rolling contract was designed to specifically take away some of that retirement talk and retirement issue.
‐‐ David Gill
The Rolling Stones are constantly changing, but beneath the changes they remain the most formal of rock bands. Their successive releases have been continuous extensions of their approach, not radical redefinitions, as has so often been the case with the Beatles.
‐‐ Jon Landau
The Rolling Stones are so versatile, they're like the band version of that Infinite Dress they sell on QVC.
‐‐ Diablo Cody
The Rolling Stones are violence. Their music penetrates the raw nerve endings of their listeners and finds its way into the groove marked 'release of frustration.'
‐‐ Jon Landau
The Rolling Stones have been the best of all possible worlds: they have the lack of pretension and sentimentality associated with the blues, the rawness and toughness of hard rock, and the depth which always makes you feel that they are in the midst of saying something. They have never impressed me as being kitsch.
‐‐ Jon Landau
The Rolling Stones seemed very loose and wild, but when you read about them, you realize that everything they did is very deliberate.
‐‐ Daniel Humm
The Rolling Stones set the bar to where I look to as a band. But I don't envision myself touring in the way they do. My knees won't hold out.
‐‐ Jon Bon Jovi
The Rolling Stones were one of the best bands ever, and 'Sticky Fingers' is one of the best rock albums I've ever heard.
‐‐ Buzz Osborne
The Rolls Royce was the real first car. It wasn't the first new car I got, but it was the first real car I bought that's like, 'Wow, I got this.'
‐‐ Meek Mill
The rom-com genre is not something that necessarily lights my jets.
‐‐ Domhnall Gleeson
The Roman Catholic Church and its rituals were so much part of life that, although my parents would often question a small matter of dogma and none of us seemed more religious than anyone else, no one ever questioned the rituals or the basic tenets of belief.
‐‐ Colm Toibin
The Roman Catholic church... carries the immense power of very directly affecting women's lives everywhere by its stand against birth control and abortion.
‐‐ Robin Morgan
The Roman Catholic Church, had it captured me, as it nearly did, would have sent me on some mission of danger and sacrifice and utilised me as a martyr; the Church established by law transformed me into an unbeliever and an antagonist.
‐‐ Annie Besant
The Roman Catholic Church isn't going to change its theologies.
‐‐ Robert H. Schuller
The Roman Catholics must know as well as we do that 'Popery' when encouraged by government has always been dangerous to the liberties of the people.
‐‐ Lord George Gordon
The Roman Catholics teach that unless you're a Roman Catholic you do not go to heaven.
‐‐ Neale Donald Walsch
The Roman Code was merely an enunciation in words of the existing customs of the Roman people.
‐‐ Henry James Sumner Maine
The Roman Curia has its defects, but it seems to me that people often overemphasize its defects and talk too little about the health of the many religious and laypeople who work there.
‐‐ Pope Francis
The Roman Empire was very, very much like us. They lost their moral core, their sense of values in terms of who they were. And after all of those things converged together, they just went right down the tubes very quickly.
‐‐ Ben Carson
The Roman jurisprudence has the longest known history of any set of human institutions.
‐‐ Henry James Sumner Maine
The Roman legions were formed in the first instance of citizen soldiers, who yet had been made to submit to a rigid discipline, and to feel that in that submission lay their strength.
‐‐ Goldwin Smith
The romance stuff is easy. A sex scene... that's hard, because you don't know what to do. Those scenes are awkward.
‐‐ John Turturro
The Romans had been able to post their laws on boards in public places, confidant that enough literate people existed to read them; far into the Middle Ages, even kings remained illiterate.
‐‐ J. M. Roberts
The Romans had chosen Pergamon to be the capital of their new province. But by 88 B.C., most of western Asia was allied with King Mithradates, who had taken over the royal palace in Pergamon for his own headquarters.
‐‐ Adrienne Mayor
The Romans held Britain from the invasion of Julius Caesar till their voluntary withdrawal from the island, A.D. 420,- that is, about five hundred years.
‐‐ Thomas Bulfinch
The Romans thought of themselves as the chosen people, yet they built the greatest army on Earth by recruiting warriors from any background.
‐‐ Amy Chua
The Romans used every housing form known today and they have a remarkably modern look.
‐‐ Stephen Gardiner
The Romans, we are told, were by nature a peculiarly warlike race.
‐‐ Goldwin Smith
The Romans were not inventors of the supporting arch, but its extended use in vaults and intersecting barrel shapes and domes is theirs.
