This great imperialistic world called the United States has made us believe that an Oscar is the most important thing in the world for an actor. But if you think about it for five minutes you realise it can't be.
‐‐ Javier Bardem
This great misfortune - to be incapable of solitude.
‐‐ Jean de la Bruyere
This great oracle of the East India Company himself admits that, if there is no power vested in the Court of Directors but that of the patronage, there is really no government vested in them at all.
‐‐ Richard Cobden
This great question of predestination and free will, of free moral agency and accountability, and being saved by the grace of God, and damned for the glory of God, have occupied the mind of what we call the civilized world for many centuries.
‐‐ Robert Green Ingersoll
This great, though disastrous, culture can only change as we begin to stand off and see... the inveterate materialism which has become the model for cultures around the world.
‐‐ Arthur Erickson
This growth in the number, speed of formation, permanence, delicacy and complexity of associations possible for an animal reaches its acme in the case of man.
‐‐ Edward Thorndike
This gulf war syndrome thing is truly unfortunate, and I've met some of the vets who have this. These are my guys, and I feel terrible about it.
‐‐ Norman Schwarzkopf
This gun is liberty; hold for certain that the day when you no more have it, you will be returned to slavery.
‐‐ Toussaint Louverture
This guy in L.A. asks for my autograph every time I see him. Then I find out he's eBaying 'em for $50. I'm flattered, but no one's going to pay $50 for anyone's autograph, let alone mine.
‐‐ Julia Voth
This guy kept telling us that rock was the big thing, everyone's talking about the big thing, our band was the big thing. So he made us change our name to The Big Thing. Can you believe that?!
‐‐ Terry Kath
This guy Simon Helberg, who's in 'Florence Foster Jenkins,' I might have been vaguely patronizing to him because he hadn't done films before. Gradually, you realize, not only is the guy a much bigger star than me, he's maybe the richest man I've ever met.
‐‐ Hugh Grant
This Halloween, the most popular mask is the Arnold Schwarzenegger mask. And the best part? With a mouth full of candy you will sound just like him.
‐‐ Conan O'Brien
This hand is not very active always, because it was in this hand that I carried my books. My carrying hand was always my strongest. Now I think my other hand has developed more muscles from signing all those autographs.
‐‐ Haile Gebrselassie
This happens to a lot of kids from different backgrounds - they lose a lot of their parents' and grandparents' teachings, language and culture because they have to deal with another language and culture 24/7. By the time I was 44, I was terrible at Spanish. I was always intimidated whenever I had to speak it.
‐‐ Erik Estrada
This happens to be that the power of laughter and love would beat out the power of fear every time. You know, I hate to sound corny about it but it's true, and I think that's what this movie is about.
‐‐ John Goodman
This happens to me all the time: I think I'm working on one thing, but this other thing, whether I want it to or not, keeps coming through.
‐‐ Daniel Woodrell
This happiness consisted of nothing else but the harmony of the few things around me with my own existence, a feeling of contentment and well-being that needed no changes and no intensification.
‐‐ Herman Hesse
This has a lot to do with the unrest in Nigeria, but also with the production loss after the hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, the decline in Iraq since the 2003 war, and the decline in Venezuelan output since 2002.
‐‐ Daniel Yergin
This has always been a man's world, and none of the reasons that have been offered in explanation have seemed adequate.
‐‐ Simone de Beauvoir
This has always been a motto of mine: Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.
‐‐ Bette Davis
This has always been a small agency with a big mission. But these days, especially, we have to stand up every day, deliver value into the hands of small-business owners and get taxpayers the biggest bang for their buck so that we can help these job creators do what they need to do.
‐‐ Karen Mills
This has always been the way of presidential politics. The president rises above the fray while his surrogates go on the attack. They throw the spears and fling the mud; he sits upon the throne.
‐‐ John Podhoretz
This has been a great victory for the Venezuelan people.
‐‐ Hugo Chavez
This has been a learning experience for me. I also thought that privacy was something we were granted in the Constitution. I have learned from this when in fact the word privacy does not appear in the Constitution.
‐‐ Bill Maher
This has been a most wonderful evening. Gertrude has said things tonight it will take her 10 years to understand.
‐‐ Alice B. Toklas
This has been a trend for a long time; the days of lifetime employment are long since over.
‐‐ Marc Andreesen
This has been harder for my friends. I know I'm going to die.
‐‐ Dick Sargent
This has been my dream since I was a little girl. I've worked so hard for this moment, and its finally coming true and I couldn't be more happy.
‐‐ Pia Toscano
This has been on the schedule for a long time. You don't get President Clinton on a 24-hour notice.
‐‐ Jon Corzine
This has been the best thing that ever happened to me.
‐‐ Peter Mayhew
This has been the new normal since September 11. Everyone knows, but nobody says, that if something happens again, the elite consensus in this country, and the overwhelming consensus of the citizenry, will be to pitch the Bill of Rights out the window and start rounding folks up.
‐‐ Charlie Pierce
This has not been a legislative process worthy of the Senate. Members of the Judiciary Committee, as I just said, were implored to save their amendments for the floor. Then, when we got here, we were told no amendments could be accepted.
‐‐ Russ Feingold
This has resulted in more and more people becoming inner-directed and having as their only goal, getting as much as they can get out of the system and putting as little into it as possible.
‐‐ Robert Teeter
This has taught me that being pleasant is always so much more productive, for I know well the rewards for being good-natured.
‐‐ Marie Windsor
This haunting idea of becoming a celebrity doesn't settle well with me at all.
‐‐ Vincent D'Onofrio
This head has risen above its hair in a moment of abandon known only to men who have drawn their feet out of their boots to walk awhile in the corridors of the mind.
‐‐ Djuna Barnes
This hiatus coming up I'm looking at a comedy because I need the balance.
‐‐ Khandi Alexander
This high official, all allow, is grossly overpaid; there wasn't any Board, and now there isn't any Trade.
‐‐ A. P. Herbert
This historically has been an issue that both parties have run away from. For the first time, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party in its platform are making this issue, about needing to do better as a country to take common sense steps to help prevent gun violence.
‐‐ Elizabeth Esty
This homage has been rendered not to me - for the Polish soil is fertile and does not lack better writers than me - but to the Polish achievement, the Polish genius.
‐‐ Henryk Sienkiewicz
This hook nose and crab meister attitude has gotten me every job I've ever had. And more divorces than I care to remember.
‐‐ Norman Fell
This horror of pain is a rather low instinct and... if I think of human beings I've known and of my own life, such as it is, I can't recall any case of pain which didn't, on the whole, enrich life.
‐‐ Malcolm Muggeridge
This hour we are stretching forth our hands with the desire to teach the world the true principles of mercy and justice.
‐‐ Marcus Garvey
This house better get cleaned up in six months. The swamp is going to have to be drained pretty quickly.
‐‐ Ron Wyden
This House cannot function without an open, accountable, and independent ethics process; and the molestation of that process by the majority is an abuse of power that cannot stand.
‐‐ Louise Slaughter
This house I grew up in was built in the 1800s, and the back yard was like a cemetery. Naturally, I grew up in an environment where ghosts and supernatural things were very unnerving to me, because my brothers and I dealt with it on a daily basis.
‐‐ Adam Wingard
This house was our dream-the gardens, the study, even the swimming pool. Even though I can't see John when I wake up in the morning, I can always feel him here with me.
‐‐ Shirley Knight
This howling mouth, this head which rolls back and tries to escape.
‐‐ Frederick Leboyer
This hype word bothers me though It always sounds like an accusation, what does it mean, advertising, column inches in the press? Bands themselves are never really responsible for all of that. That is something that happens to you when you sell millions of records.
‐‐ Holly Johnson
