‐‐ Adi Godrej
You can't have a relationship when you're shooting a 14-hour day and your husband is shooting a 14-hour day in the same city. It's a time thing and it's a together thing.

‐‐ Bill Gates
You can't have a situation in which companies proceed on a permanent basis relying only on cash from the government.
‐‐ Lawrence Summers
You can't have a U.S. Open anymore without an extra course to store all the hospitality tents. I used to be able to drive up to the clubhouse and park like the players. Now, there are seven corporate hospitality guys who have my spot, and I'm on a bus.
‐‐ Dan Jenkins
You can't have a United States if you are telling some folks that they can't get on the train. There is a cracking point where a society collapses.
‐‐ Bruce Springsteen
You can't have a university without having free speech, even though at times it makes us terribly uncomfortable. If students are not going to hear controversial ideas on college campuses, they're not going to hear them in America. I believe it's part of their education.
‐‐ Donna Shalala
You can't have a world where 50 percent of the people are dieting and 50 percent of the people are starving if you want stability.
‐‐ John Shelby Spong
You can't have an energy policy that means you can only have a bath when the wind blows.
‐‐ Jim Ratcliffe
You can't have an industrial revolution, you can't have democracies, you can't have populations who can govern themselves until you have literacy. The printing press simply unlocked literacy.
‐‐ Howard Rheingold
You can't have an up without a down, a right without a left, a back without a front - or a happy without a sad.
‐‐ Harlan Coben
You can't have any successes unless you can accept failure.
‐‐ George Cukor
You can't have bank holding companies acting as hedge funds. You can't have them taking a million-dollar pension plan for Joe Schmo the bus driver and treat it with the same risk appetite that you treat George Soros' pocket money. It's fundamentally ridiculous.
‐‐ Shia LaBeouf
You can't have cinema by committee if you're trying to do it well.
‐‐ Janeane Garofalo
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
‐‐ Steven Wright

You can't have friendships that aren't based on realness.
‐‐ Chelsea Handler
You can't have integrity for breakfast, but try and keep it because it is perhaps the single most important word that defines not just writers but all human beings.
‐‐ F. Sionil Jose
You can't have it all all at once. Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all, but in given periods in time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.
‐‐ Ruth Bader Ginsburg
You can't have it both ways. You can't tell me that you're taxed enough already, and that you want constitutional government and then in the next breath say, 'Bring me home some bacon.' The pig has been picked clean.
‐‐ Rand Paul
You can't have justice unless you have truth.
‐‐ Hill Harper
You can't have life without the genetic code.
‐‐ Craig Venter
You can't have modern states based on ideas which have been out of date for a thousand years.
‐‐ Salman Rushdie
You can't have nine children and not be organized. Otherwise it just looks like Appalachia.
‐‐ Danielle Steel
You can't have people making decisions about the future of the world who are scientifically illiterate. That's a recipe for disaster. And I don't mean just whether a politician is scientifically literate, but people who vote politicians into office.
‐‐ Neil deGrasse Tyson
You can't have personal investors anymore because it's too expensive, so you have to have corporate investment or a lot of rich people.
‐‐ Stephen Sondheim
You can't have public health without a public health system. We just don't want to be part of a mindless competition for resources. We want to build back capacity in the system.
‐‐ Paul Farmer
You can't have public health without working with the public sector. You can't have public education without working with the public sector in education.
‐‐ Paul Farmer
You can't have rock and roll without drugs, you can't have rock and roll without sex.
‐‐ Rick James
You can't have some institutions that are protected by the law, not allowed to fail, and not held to account, and all the other companies in America are allowed to fail. You can't have equal justice under law and too big to fail.
‐‐ Eric Schneiderman
You can't have someone with a pinkie out there at the U.N. or any other place.
‐‐ Mark Shields
You can't have the finest buildings if they're not in focus. They become like nice cars parked on the street.
‐‐ Leon Krier
You can't have thousands of cars without good computers on the electric grid.
‐‐ Shai Agassi
You can't have too many books featuring people of color, just like you can't have too many books featuring white people.
‐‐ Jacqueline Woodson
You can't have too much of everything, you must have a balance, that's very important.
‐‐ Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
You can't have virtue without sin. What I'm after is having my characters' virtues defined by how they operate in a very sinful environment. That's how you test people.
‐‐ Frank Miller
You can't have whatever you want. But to a child who must ask permission for every single thing, adulthood looks like a constant parade of every desire's satisfaction. It is a heady and terrifying place. It is the Otherworld. It is Fairyland. In fantasy, we make this literal.
‐‐ Catherynne M. Valente
You can't have 'yes' people around you.
‐‐ Terry Bradshaw
You can't heal what you don't acknowledge.
‐‐ Jack Canfield
You can't hear a word and just hear it as raw sound; it always evokes an associated meaning and emotion in the brain.
‐‐ Steven Pinker
You can' t help being a musician because you've grown up with music, yet being one means being compared to your dad and being slated for it. But I really don't have the ambitions of most people going into the industry.
‐‐ Dhani Harrison
You can't help but be in a good mood around Blake Shelton. I felt like I always knew him even though I was just meeting him; it was like he had been a part of my life forever.
‐‐ Cole Vosbury
You can't help but be in awe of the athletic abilities of the WWE Superstars.
‐‐ Dana Davis
You can't help but be scrutinized, so I might as well be doing something while I'm being scrutinized.
