To all my little Hulkamaniacs, say your prayers, take your vitamins and you will never go wrong.
‐‐ Hulk Hogan
To all my nonbelieving, sort-of-believing, and used-to-be-believing friends: I feel like I should begin with a confession. I am sorry that so often the biggest obstacle to God has been Christians.

To all my political opponents, all and sundry, not only the presidential bets, I would like to offer my hand to friendship.
‐‐ Rodrigo Duterte
To all my soap fans out there, my horror fanatics, comedy lovers, I will tell you this: 'Death Valley' is an action-packed drama, comedic, horror TV series that has a non-stop adventure in each episode. It's like a huge pot of Texas gumbo. If you like all four of those genres, then you'll love this show.
‐‐ Texas Battle
To all of the young people out there who are creating social change or even fomenting social movements: hold on to your idealism and your belief in your ability to change the world. Your lofty goals demand attention and deserve support.

‐‐ Zendaya
To all the positions, I just bring the determination to win. Me being an unselfish player, I think that can carry on to my teammates. When you have one of the best players on the court being unselfish, I think that transfers to the other players.
‐‐ LeBron James
To all the rest of his Absurdities, (for vice is always unreasonable,) he adds one more, who expects that Vertue from another which he won't practise himself.
‐‐ Mary Astell
To all the women that I've offended, I had no intention to be offensive, to violate any physical or emotional space. I was trying to establish personal relationships, but the combination of awkwardness and hubris led to behavior that I think many found offensive.
‐‐ Bob Filner
To all those mothers and fathers who are struggling with teen-agers, I say, just be patient: even though it looks like you can't do anything right for a number of years, parents become popular again when kids reach 20.

To all those who have drawn the inference from my words that Africa, as a continent, is somehow genetically inferior, I can only apologise unreservedly.
‐‐ James D. Watson
To all those who walk the path of human cooperation war must appear loathsome and inhuman.
‐‐ Alfred Adler
To allot God a secondary place in life was, to me, inconceivable. Though He is the sole Owner of the cosmos, silently showering us with gifts from life to life, one thing yet remains which He does not own, and which each human heart is empowered to withhold or bestow - man's love.
‐‐ Paramahansa Yogananda
To allow all U.S. workers to put part of their earnings into private investment accounts would definitely erode the Social Security system and cause uncertainty for new investors.
‐‐ Grace Napolitano
To allow public access to orbit, we would need breakthroughs that would lower the cost by a lot more than an order of magnitude and increase safety by a factor of 100 as compared to every launch system used since the first manned space flight. I think airborne launch will be a significant part of the safety solution.
‐‐ Burt Rutan
To allow the construction of places of worship other than Islamic ones in Saudi Arabia, it would be like asking the Vatican to build a mosque inside of it.
‐‐ Abdullah of Saudi Arabia
To allow the policy question of same-sex marriage to be considered and resolved by a select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a principle even more fundamental than no taxation without representation: no social transformation without representation.
‐‐ Antonin Scalia
To Americans, English manners are far more frightening than none at all.
‐‐ Randall Jarrell
To amplify our efforts, USDA is joining with First Lady Michelle Obama in aggressively promoting the 'Let's Move' campaign, which will combat the epidemic of childhood obesity through a comprehensive approach that builds on effective strategies, and mobilizes public and private sector resources.

To an adolescent, there is nothing in the world more embarrassing than a parent.
‐‐ Dave Barry
To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there's no such thing as perfect.
‐‐ Alexander Calder
To an extent, our relationship with the movies is always subjective. Our capacity to be involved says as much about each of us; I've never fathomed why anyone would want to spend four hours in the company of the exceedingly tiresome Scarlett O'Hara.
‐‐ Steve Erickson
To an extreme athlete, there's a certain appeal to doing extreme things - seeking the most extreme physical challenges in some of the most extreme climates in the world. Testing and expanding the limits of human endurance is kind of my thing.
‐‐ Dean Karnazes
To an honest judge, the alleged marriage between religion and science is a shallow, empty, spin-doctored sham.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
To an intellectual who is adrift in politics, a theory is an aim; to a true politician his theory is a boundary.
‐‐ Francis Parker Yockey
To an observer situated on the moon or on one of the planets, the most noticeable feature on the surface of our globe would no doubt be the large areas covered by oceanic water. The sunlit face of the earth would appear to shine by the light diffused back into space from the land and water-covered areas.
‐‐ C. V. Raman
To an Ohio boy, it represented world-weary Gallic shrugs and Gauloises cigarettes, existentialist thinkers in berets and Catherine Deneuve in nothing at all - French was the language of intellectual power and effortless sex appeal.
‐‐ Michael Dirda
To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others.
‐‐ George Orwell
To an outsider, I just seem like a list of accomplishments. To me, all there is is how often I fail.
‐‐ Junot Diaz
To ancient Chinese fancy, the Milky Way was a luminous river, - the River of Heaven, - the Silver Stream.
‐‐ Lafcadio Hearn
To anger female voters in America is to tread on the tiger's tail. Women turn out in huge numbers, and they are well aware of how their bodies work and what they need.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public.
‐‐ Theodore Roosevelt
To answer that I have to describe what I think is my responsibility as a thriller writer: To give my readers the most exciting roller coaster ride of a suspense story I can possibly think of.
‐‐ Jeffery Deaver
To answer the question, though: I didn't always want to direct. I just liked the idea of it. If a friend was making a short and needed someone who knew screen direction, I would jump in. It would be horrible, but it led to a short, then another, and another. It was like student films.
