This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one loves.
‐‐ Friedrich Nietzsche
This is what my calling is now. I'm here to try to help our party.
‐‐ Chris Gibson
This is what people don't understand: obesity is a symptom of poverty. It's not a lifestyle choice where people are just eating and not exercising. It's because kids - and this is the problem with school lunch right now - are getting sugar, fat, empty calories - lots of calories - but no nutrition.
‐‐ Tom Colicchio
This is what people don't understand. When they might see me do something that's not 'God-like,' then they say, 'Well, I thought you were saved?' I am saved. I'm not perfect. I have emotions still. My name's still Gary. These things here are not all cleaned up. I'm showing you my path.
‐‐ Gary Sheffield
This is what people need: an easy-to-deploy, easy-to-use tool.
‐‐ Nat Friedman
This is what really makes real jazz musicians: people coming out with their own voice.
‐‐ Roscoe Mitchell
This is what rhyme does. In a couplet, the first rhyme is like a question to which the second rhyme is an answer. The first rhyme leaves something in the air, some unanswered business. In most quatrains, space is created between the rhyme that poses the question and the rhyme that gives the answer - it is like a pleasure deferred.
‐‐ James Fenton
This is what's sick about living in L.A. My eight-year-old daughter will point to a woman and say, 'Look! That woman's had too much Botox.' She spots them because they all look a bit like Lord Voldemort from 'Harry Potter.'
‐‐ Kate Beckinsale
This is what sexism does best: it makes you feel crazy for desiring parity and hopeless about ever achieving it.
‐‐ Deborah Copaken Kogan
This is what sexual liberation chiefly accomplishes - it liberates young women to pursue married men.
‐‐ George Gilder
This is what Steve Jobs understood: Brands are defined not by the best thing on the product but by the worst thing.
‐‐ Robert Scoble
This is what the election of 2010 was about. We didn't send conservatives to Washington to flirt with Democrat proposals for higher taxes and more debt. We sent leaders to stop them.
‐‐ Adam Hasner
This is what the European Union is all about. A strong market with a strong currency.
‐‐ Mark Rutte
This is what we call smart power. Using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security. Leaving no one on the sidelines. Showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view. Helping to define the problems, determine the solutions.
‐‐ Hillary Clinton
This is what you work for, putting all the other crap that you hear aside. Just being able to participate in a World Series is pretty much everything. But you do want to win!
‐‐ Bobby Bonilla
This is where I break one last taboo: I'm incredibly glad I'm not a granny.
‐‐ Kiki Dee
This is where I have wasted the best years of my life.
‐‐ Greta Garbo
This is where the world is going: direct access from anywhere to any type of data, whether it's a small piece of data or a small answer but a long algorithm to create that answer. The user doesn't care about this.
‐‐ Hasso Plattner
This is where you see the truth of entertainment, because it is not edited. You see it on stage as it is happening. Even if we fall down or forget our words, it's a part of live entertainment.
‐‐ Eartha Kitt
This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.
‐‐ Oscar Robertson
This is who I am: a flyspeck of human vanity in a trillion miles of stone-dead interstellar space; a graceless lump of flesh and fear in a remote desert where nearly everything that I can see or touch is designed to hurt me.
‐‐ S. C. Gwynne
This is who I am. I'm not perfect. I don't want to try to be perfect.
‐‐ Michael Strahan
This is why Alzheimer's is such a terrible disease: the body of the person you love is there, but they've gone - your husband is gone - and they become your child, and you have to look after them as you would a child.
‐‐ Judy Parfitt
This is why cup finals are so special because on the day anyone can beat anyone. That's what it's all about and that's why for me the FA Cup and the Carling Cup are the best cups in the world. That's the beauty of the cup.
‐‐ Ian Rush
This is why fashion is such a magical part of our lives, for it inspires our decisions without dictating them; it sets the theme but not the limits of our aesthetic.
‐‐ Simon Van Booy
This is why fiction is an art, and life is not - how much more affecting is the lie than the truth.
‐‐ T. C. Boyle
This is why I belong, and why I believe. I commend to all this same search for happiness and for the truth.
‐‐ Clayton Christensen
This is why I have always said that it would be better if Muslims were poor.
‐‐ Abu Bakar Bashir
This is why I wanted to be different and why I wanted to have power and fame and money: because I wanted to be attractive to the opposite sex. I'd be lying to you if I didn't say that was a big part of it.
‐‐ Michael Buble
This is why improvisational music and comedy is so inspiring: You are seeing something being born, and that energy, there is no substitute for. These songs, most of them, are about a minute old when you hear them.
‐‐ John Darnielle
This is why it's bad to run a country by executive order: because our nation runs on laws - when everyone knows the law, and everyone knows what it is, you know both the law and the consequence, and you get that.
‐‐ James Lankford
This is why my art is about violence. Because I was subjected to so much of it as a kid. After that, and a lot of thinking, I became less violent. I realized that there must be other ways. So, I started to pursue them.
‐‐ Jack Bowman
This is why the ultimate reason of things must lie in a necessary substance, in which the differentiation of the changes only exists eminently as in their source; and this is what we call God.
‐‐ Gottfried Leibniz
This is why we feel that democracy's important: because democracy allows you to have small explosions and therefore avoid the bigger explosions.
‐‐ Indira Gandhi
This is your moment. You're meant to be here.
‐‐ Herb Brooks
This is your silly web browser doing that. The file is correctly named.
‐‐ Rasmus Lerdorf
This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish at the same time.
‐‐ Aneurin Bevan
This isn't a little debate society. That's high school stuff.
‐‐ Sydney Schanberg
This isn't a Republican issue. This isn't a Democrat issue. This is something that both parties and people around the country have agreed to. They don't want Guantanamo Bay detainees in the United States.
‐‐ Cory Gardner
This isn't a watercolor, it's a mural.
‐‐ Erich Segal
This isn't about deer hunting. The Second Amendment is about our right to keep and bear arms to defend ourselves.
‐‐ Jeff Duncan
This isn't about grabbing people's guns; this isn't about changing the Second Amendment. This simply says that someone who is on the terrorist watch list - a dangerous terrorist - should not be able to purchase a gun.
‐‐ Ted Deutch
This isn't about the money. This is just for me. I love music.
‐‐ Justin Timberlake
This isn't an easy lifestyle for a coach's wife. The coach is the guy who stands up and hears everyone tell him how great he is. The wife is the one waiting at home alone while the coach is spending every night at the office.
‐‐ Joe Gibbs
This isn't just about today, this about generations to come. And you've got a chance to be the greatest conservation President since Theodore Roosevelt, and I think he's done it.
‐‐ Bruce Babbitt
This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic.
‐‐ Terry Pratchett
This isn't like cancer, where we don't know the solution. Financial planning is math. We have the answers, yet it's this huge cause of stress.
‐‐ Alexa Von Tobel
This isn't meant to last. This is for right now.
‐‐ Trent Reznor
This isn't meant to make me sound interesting and rock 'n' roll, but I wouldn't want to live with me a lot of the time.
‐‐ Martin Freeman
This isn't really a convention, This is really an infomercial. And every night we'll have a different infomercial and people view it with a certain level of cynicism.
