This is the curse of our age, even the strangest aberrations are no cure for boredom.
‐‐ Stendhal
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius.
‐‐ James Rado
This is the deal: we are happy to single out people as superior just as long as they don't accept the description themselves. We want heroes and idols, but we also want egalitarianism, and that requires proclamations of humility from our gods.
‐‐ Julian Baggini
This is the devilish thing about foreign affairs: they are foreign and will not always conform to our whim.
‐‐ James Reston
This is the difficulty about talking about it without sounding big-headed, but you cannot speak of New Zealand now without my involvement in what it has become.
‐‐ David Lange
This is the entertainment industry, so game designers have to have a creative mind and also have to be able to stand up against the marketing people at their company - otherwise they cannot be creative. There are not that many people who fit that description.
‐‐ Shigeru Miyamoto
This is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.
‐‐ Rumi
This is the essential evil of vice, that it debases man.
‐‐ Edwin Hubbel Chapin
This is the fantasy of every woman - to hold at our feet servile and tame slaves, like in Roman times. And the worse we treat them, the more passionate they become.
‐‐ Thalia
This is the first age that's ever paid much attention to the future, which is a little ironic since we may not have one.
‐‐ Arthur C. Clarke
This is the first convention of the space age - where a candidate can promise the moon and mean it.
‐‐ David Brinkley
This is the first generation to grow up on Thatcher - it's a different ethos. It's money minded, and it's the cult of yourself. Now that's fine, except when it falls down, and you can't achieve your goals - through high unemployment, through the fact that you probably need inherited money to get anywhere.
‐‐ Jane Campion
This is the first lesson for writers - or anyone - who conducts interviews: If you want someone to talk, you've got to know how to listen. And good listening is a surprisingly active process. The interviewee is your focus of attention; you are there to hear what he says and thinks, exclusively.
‐‐ Lee Gutkind
This is the first time in 10 years I don't know what I'm doing next, and I'm rather enjoying it. Soon I'll be climbing the walls no doubt, but right now, it's not clear, I'm just enjoying the freedom.
‐‐ Sam Mendes
This is the first time in my 32 years in public broadcasting that PBS has ordered up programs for ideological instead of journalistic reasons.
‐‐ Bill Moyers
This is the first time in my life I've ever been happy, not completely happy, but happier than I've ever been.
‐‐ LaToya Jackson
This is the first time in my life I've had hair this short. It's always been down to my waist. I can't hide behind my hair any more.
‐‐ Melissa Joan Hart
This is the front edge of the spiritual, psychological movement and is where the tools of psychology have finally come together to create a mass healing. I think spiritual psychology is the next wave.
‐‐ Kenny Loggins
This is the fundamental problem with the ruling class in Washington, D.C. - the party bosses, the K Street crowd, the lobbyists who control all these politicians. They will do anything to maintain their power. They will do anything. They will say anything.
‐‐ Corey Lewandowski
This is the generation whose first cry of life was the Hungarian uprising.
‐‐ Joseph Brodsky
This is the great fault of wine; it first trips up the feet: it is a cunning wrestler.
‐‐ Plautus
This is the great object held out by this association; and the means of attaining it is illumination, enlightening the understanding by the sun of reason which will dispell the clouds of superstition and of prejudice.
‐‐ Adam Weishaupt
This is the great reward of service, to live, far out and on, in the life of others; this is the mystery of Christ, - to give life's best for such high sake that it shall be found again unto life eternal.
‐‐ Joshua Chamberlain
This is the great thing about Northern Ireland. I walk down the street and people stop me and say things like, 'I know you. You're that wee golfer, aren't you?' I say, 'Yeah, that's me.' They say, 'Keep it up, wee man.' It's very funny and that's why I want to stay here as long as possible.
‐‐ Rory McIlroy
This is the great vice of academicism, that it is concerned with ideas rather than with thinking.
‐‐ Lionel Trilling
This is the greatest society in all of human history, the greatest country ever. Many of the decisions being made in Washington today by both parties are threatening that greatness. And if we stay on this road we're on right now, our children are going to be the first Americans ever to inherit a diminished country.
‐‐ Marco Rubio
This is the hardest job I've ever had, being a mom, but it's the most rewarding job I've ever had.
‐‐ Ally Walker
This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.
‐‐ Friedrich Nietzsche
This is the hardest thing I've ever done. The rehab has not gone as expected.
‐‐ Jennifer Capriati
This is the harsh truth about us: not only do Filipinos ignore books, literature - we do not understand how important the arts are - not just to those of us who work at it, but to the nation as a whole.
‐‐ F. Sionil Jose
This is the heart of my argument: We can put more pressure on the antagonist for whom we show human concern.
‐‐ Barbara Deming
This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.
‐‐ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This is the home of hurdling, and the Americans are the kings of the event.
‐‐ Dayron Robles
This is the key to time management - to see the value of every moment.
‐‐ Menachem Mendel Schneerson
This is the kind of discovery that resonates.
‐‐ Saul Perlmutter
This is the kind of fashion I grew up on - a good pair of trainers, great denim - and I will always love high-end streetwear.
‐‐ Tinie Tempah
This is the kind of problem you want to have! Country radio has been great to me my whole career. I can't thank those folks enough.
‐‐ George Strait
This is the kind of situation that can tear people apart. It tears at the fabric of your soul and can certainly tear at your marriage and ours has gotten only stronger.
‐‐ Shelley Fabares
This is the kind of work I've aspired to my whole career.
‐‐ Treat Williams
This is the kind of world I was born in, one in which I had only one reason for existence: pleasing others.
‐‐ Mickey Rooney
This is the kingdom of God on the earth. Because of that, it has a power beyond any other endeavor in which humans can engage. That power depends on the faith of those called to serve in it.
‐‐ Henry B. Eyring
This is the launch of the 'Doctor Strange' film interpretation of - in my view - a classic, which has been interpreted many times by other graphic artists, and this is just our graphic interpretation of The Ancient One. I would say the whole approach is about a kind of fluidity.
‐‐ Tilda Swinton
This is the law of God by which He makes His way known to man and is paramount to all human control.
‐‐ Rufus King
This is the lesson that history teaches: repetition.
‐‐ Gertrude Stein

‐‐ Jennifer Lopez
This is the mark of a really admirable man: steadfastness in the face of trouble.
‐‐ Ludwig van Beethoven
This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.
‐‐ Rainer Maria Rilke
This is the moment when I should also admit that when the Internet first arrived I kept telling people it was a fad.
‐‐ Gail Collins
This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many.
‐‐ Barack Obama
This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands.
‐‐ Barack Obama
