To be at the Oscars for 'American Sniper' and then also supporting Red Carpet Green Dress is just twice as cool for me.
‐‐ Jake McDorman
To be awake is everything.
‐‐ Gustave Meyrink
To be awake is to be alive.
‐‐ Henry David Thoreau
To be awake is to be fully present, no noise, just you and God. Most of us only have seconds of full consciousness. To live in a state of Samadhi - that's what we're here for.
‐‐ Russell Simmons
To be awarded a prize which takes its name from an illustrious Dutchman who at the same time was a great citizen of Europe and through his writings did so much to open up our modern world of sensibility and thought is indeed a most signal honour.
‐‐ John G. D. Clark
To be beautiful in Texas, you had to be blonde and blue-eyed and have a name like Ann.
‐‐ Sarah Shahi
To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.
‐‐ Bindi Irwin
To be better than 31 other teams, you better be a really good team. It's just not about one person.
‐‐ Jeffrey Lurie
To be beyond any existing classification has always pleased me.
‐‐ Boyd Rice
To be Biblically balanced is to let our theology and preaching be proportioned by the Bible's radically disproportionate focus on God's saving love for sinners seen and accomplished in the crucified and risen Christ.
‐‐ Tullian Tchividjian
To be black and an intellectual in America is to live in a box. On the box is a label, not of my own choosing.
‐‐ Stephen Carter
To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable.
‐‐ John Milton
To be born in India is to arrive into the world swimming in religion.
‐‐ Ravi Zacharias
To be born in Wales, not with a silver spoon in your mouth, but, with music in your blood and with poetry in your soul, is a privilege indeed.
‐‐ Brian Harris
To be bothered wherever you go - it's not a rational thing to want at all.
‐‐ Colin Firth
To be bowed by grief is folly; Naught is gained by melancholy; Better than the pain of thinking, Is to steep the sense in drinking.
‐‐ Alcaeus
To be brief is almost a condition of being inspired.
‐‐ George Santayana
To be brutally honest, it's simple economics. If they want to come into cycling, sponsors need to know the team they are funding is clean, otherwise the risk is just too great.
‐‐ David Millar
To be called a coward, I don't think that's fair.
‐‐ Rodney Alexander
To be called a genius at 17 or 18 years old can sometimes cause arrested development.
‐‐ Paul Dano
To be called a sovereign nation, a nation has to be able to control its own borders. It is controlling your own destiny in a way, and we don't control our own borders.
‐‐ Tom Tancredo
To be called one thing, is oftentimes to be another.
‐‐ Herman Melville
To be candid, some people have given positive thinking a bad name. I can't stand to hear some gung-ho individual say that with positive thinking you can just do 'anything.' If you think about that one for a moment, you recognize the absurdity of it.
‐‐ Zig Ziglar
To be candid with you, free agency hurts all sports. It's great for athletes making an enormous amount of money. But to say it helps the sports, I don't believe that.
‐‐ Jerry West
To be Catholic is the only way of being fully and utterly Christian.
‐‐ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
To be Catholic puts a lot of fear in you. It's a great religion, but also one that can limit your experience. You fear experience because everything is a sin.
‐‐ Donatella Versace
To be censored is one sure way of knowing you have been taken dead seriously. It also speaks to the continuing power of the printed word, almost fifteen hundred years after that amazing invention.
‐‐ Felice Picano
To be challenged means to strive. I'm almost certain that's true.
‐‐ Alfred Molina
To be champion requires more than simply being a strong player; one has to be a strong human being as well.
‐‐ Anatoly Karpov
To be clear, climate change is a true 800 pound gorilla in the room. The effects of global warming threaten global environmental upheaval over the coming century. But for South Florida and the Everglades, it could be our death knell if urgent action is not taken.
‐‐ Debbie Wasserman Schultz
To be clear, geoengineering won't solve global warming. It's not a 'techno-fix.' It would be enormously risky and almost certainly lead to troubling unforeseen consequences.
‐‐ Jamais Cascio
To be clear, I'm not opposed to apps; I just want them to be geared to my lifestyle. I don't need a virtual NASCAR racing app, but I'd certainly appreciate one that stopped my husband from plowing into the lawnmower every time he pulls into the garage.
‐‐ Jen Lancaster
To be clear, I normally climb with a rope and partner. Free-soloing makes up only a small percentage of my total climbing. But when I do solo, I manage the risk through careful preparation. I don't solo anything unless I'm sure I can do it.
‐‐ Alex Honnold
To be clear, I worry as much about the impact of the Internet as anyone else. I worry about shortening attention spans, the physical cost of sedentary 'surfing' and the potential for coarsening discourse as millions of web pages compete for attention by appealing to our base instincts.
‐‐ Andrew Weil
To be clear... no one is above the law.
‐‐ Andrew Cuomo
To be clear, the gap between the have gots and the have nots is widening. In this most multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic America ever, that concerns me.
‐‐ Tavis Smiley
To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be stupid enough to want it.
‐‐ Gilbert K. Chesterton
To be clever in argument is not rationality but rationalization.
‐‐ Eliezer Yudkowsky
To be compared to Jackie Robinson is an enormous compliment, but I don't think it's necessarily deserved.
‐‐ Sidney Poitier
To be compared to Will Smith is probably one of the coolest things because that's who I came up admiring.
‐‐ Nick Cannon
To be compassionate is not a joke. It's not that simple. One has to discover a certain bigness in oneself. That bigness should be centered on oneself, not in terms of money, not in terms of power you wield, not in terms of any status that you can command in the society, but it should be centered on oneself.
‐‐ Dayananda Saraswati
To be completely honest, I didn't know 'Twilight' was a book.
‐‐ Kellan Lutz
To be completely honest, I just like whatever tells a good story. Put me in whatever setting, scenario, genre. If you're telling a good story, it's great and it's fun to get caught up in.
‐‐ Drew Roy
To be completely honest, I think if I hadn't been bullied into the band, I would have been happier as an art student. I would have been happier in a Brian Eno world.
‐‐ Pete Townshend
To be completely honest, it's shocking to me that I keep getting the villain roles! I do not see myself as the villain and I know, growing up, I was the opposite of a villain. I would never try to be a villain to anyone - but maybe other people I grew up with feel differently about that.
‐‐ Cam Gigandet
To be completely stripped bare of any image power or my hair. To step onstage and get the response that I got blew any problems I had about self-image out the door.
‐‐ Melissa Etheridge
To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it's no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.
‐‐ Marlene Dietrich
To be complex does not mean to be fragmented. This is the paradox and the genius of our Canadian civilization.
‐‐ Adrienne Clarkson
To be confident going out and performing, I need to be with my son for as long as possible; then I know I'm happy, and he's happy, and I can go out and put all my energy into performing.
‐‐ Jessica Ennis-Hill
To be confronted as you exit the polling place is really a matter of if you have the time, if you have the inclination to speak to a stranger, and if you want to divulge what is a very sacred, private matter - the way that you just voted.
‐‐ Kellyanne Conway
