122
123

171

Racism is a disease. Go to your doctor with an ailment, and let the doctor tell you, ‘Well, look, I’m not going to treat you; we’re just not going to talk about it. It’s going to go away.’ You would look at him like he’s crazy. By not talking about racism, it’s not going to go away.
198
I really like Kendrick Lamar. I’m still a Talib Kweli fan, Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def, Common Sense – people who say things that are relevant to everyday life. I don’t pay attention to artists that talk about throwing money away and the car that they drive.

I believe in believing.

But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

270
Southern political personalities, like sweet corn, travel badly. They lose flavor with every hundred yards away from the patch.

271
272

337
Two halves don’t make a whole. Two wholes make a whole. In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn’t doing better by doing that. I became less of a man.
338
The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much.
339
We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.
340
341
342
During my eighty-seven years I have witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none of them has done away with the need for character in the individual or the ability to think.
343
The beauty standards had nothing to do with me in Mexico. It was such a bizarre, dire time for my hair. I was living in a small town where there was not any semblance of an African community. I’d have to take the bus to Mexico City to find a woman who could braid my hair. That was two and a half hours away.
344
345
Leadership is, among other things, the ability to inflict pain and get away with it – short-term pain for long-term gain.
346
I felt unhappy and trapped. If I left baseball, where could I go, what could I do to earn enough money to help my mother and to marry Rachel? The solution to my problem was only days away in the hands of a tough, shrewd, courageous man called Branch Rickey, the president of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
347
The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine.
348
I think a lot of what you do in acting, and for the most part singing and dancing and everything, is trial and error. It’s all about just seeing what works, and if it does, to use it, and if not, to throw it away.
349
350
351
I have no problem with cheating. Whatever you can get away with.
352
353
When my girlfriend’s away, I cook a big vat of meaty pasta and sauce and eat that for about a week. Then I eat out the rest of the time. When she’s home, we eat at home probably twice a week. I chop, she cooks.
354
I think ‘Ek Chhotisi Love Story‘ has really damaged me. People think they can compromise my reputation and get away with it.
355
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
356
357
We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship.
358
And when I’ve been away from my family and friends, I have felt good hearing some of those old songs.
359
In a state of poverty, illiteracy, people just remain exposed to all kinds of manipulation. That’s what we have lived. It’s easier to tell a poor person, ‘You know what, you are poor, you’re hungry because the other one has taken away your rights.’
360
It’s not a 24-hour news cycle, it’s a 60-second news cycle now, it’s instantaneous. It has never been easier to get away with telling lies. It has never been easier to get away with the glib one liner.
361
Our people are ebbing away like a rapidly receding tide that will never return. The white man’s God cannot love our people, or He would protect them.
362
I have cut away what I call the excess stuff in my life.
363
My wife doesn’t care what I do when I’m away, as long as I don’t have a good time.
364
365
The only way to get love is to be lovable. It’s very irritating if you have a lot of money. You’d like to think you could write a check: ‘I’ll buy a million dollars‘ worth of love.’ But it doesn’t work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.
366
You have one heart, and once you give it away, it’s gone. If you wear it on your sleeve, a lot of people are there to take advantage of it.
367

371
For humans, the Arctic is a harshly inhospitable place, but the conditions there are precisely what polar bears require to survive – and thrive. ‘Harsh’ to us is ‘home’ for them. Take away the ice and snow, increase the temperature by even a little, and the realm that makes their lives possible literally melts away.
372
When you’re famous, you’re always famous. It doesn’t go away.
373
374
I heard the old, old, men say ‘all that’s beautiful drifts away, like the waters.’
375
376
377
Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly.
378
A man who trims himself to suit everybody will soon whittle himself away.
379
380
My grandmother worked at one of those Bel-Air mansions, and we would go – not too often, but every now and then – to pick her up. Hollywood was probably 12 miles from my house, but it might as well have been a million miles away. The only time I saw that world was on TV. Until I started making records.

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
387
Home is here in Philadelphia. I never like to be away too long.
388
I always get carried away when I’m kissing. I just go nuts! Walking away after it is the strangest moment for me. It’s embarrassing – not knowing what to say to each other.
389
390
391
Some countries have more water than others – some can afford to use clean water to flush their poop away, and some can’t.
392
Museums provide places of relaxation and inspiration. And most importantly, they are a place of authenticity. We live in a world of reproductions – the objects in museums are real. It’s a way to get away from the overload of digital technology.
393
If a man is truly in love, the most beautiful woman in the world couldn’t take him away. Maybe for a few days, but not forever.
394
395
He who cannot give anything away cannot feel anything either.
396
397
398
I love the sensation of being out in the open air, far away from all the distractions of modern life. I will usually disappear for a couple of hours, and that time on my bike is quite sacred, as it’s when I do all my serious thinking. Sometimes I will stop off at bikers’ cafe and have a bacon sandwich.
399
400
My mind’s never gone very far away from what I wanted to accomplish.
401
402
It was as if all of the happiness, all of the magic of this blissful hour had flowed together into these stirring, bittersweet tones and flowed away, becoming temporal and transitory once more.
403
If you keep the Sabbath, you start to see creation not as somewhere to get away from your ordinary life, but a place to frame an attentiveness to your life.
404
405
Our asylum laws were written to protect victims fleeing persecution in their home countries. By limiting the scope of these laws and refusing to acknowledge gang violence or domestic violence as a valid reason to seek asylum, we are turning away women and children in grave danger.
406
407
408
409
Disappointment is a sticky one, because no one can steal contentment, joy, gratitude, or peace – we have to give it away.
410
411
Time takes away the grief of men.
412
413
I’d look at one of my stonecutters hammering away at the rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet, at the hundred and first blow it would split in two, and I knew it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
414
415
Comedians like to see people smile. With acting, I love giving people a feeling, an emotion. I like to give people a feeling. When they come away from my scene, I want them to think.
416
417
The principal purpose of the Democratic Party is to use the force of government to take property away from the people who earn it and give it to people who do not.
418
In all my characters, I try to find an iota of myself, and in Castle, I found a lot. He gets away with a lot, so that’s fun.
419
The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away.
420
Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.
421
422
In my divorce, I stood up and said to my ex-wife, ‘Hey, I messed up. This had nothing to do with you. I didn’t understand what marriage was. I cheated. I was wrong. We couldn’t fix it; it got worse. I stepped away because I didn’t want it to get any worse. You’re the mother of my kids – I don’t want to hate you.’
423
I lost most of my friends. Their parents had told them to stay away from me, because they said I was crazy, I was an extremist.
424
425
And so I’m saying that, yes, colonialism was terrible, and I describe it as a legacy of wars, but we ought to be moving away from that by now.
426
427
I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth – and truth rewarded me.
428
If you take away print and embroidery, you have to challenge yourself a bit more on the cut.
429
I really like conducting my music in concerts because I’m convinced it’s not just for films; it has its own life. It can live far away from the images of the movie.
430
431
432
433
At times, when I reach my saturation point, I go to some random place and throw my phone away.
434
We can either be governed by fear – fear of immigrants, fear of Muslims, call the press the enemy of the people, tear kids away from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border – or we can be governed by our ambitions and our aspirations and our desire to make the most out of all of us. And that’s America at its best.
435
436
When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player, it’s time for me to move away from the game.
437
My mother had bought a sewing machine for me. When I went away to college, she gave me a sewing machine, a typewriter and a suitcase, and my mother made $17 a week working as a maid 12 hours a day, and she did that for me.
438
439
Don’t let the winds blow your dreams away… or steal your faith in God.
440
It’s very refreshing to go away and take a break, to clear your head, and just get into something else.
441
Can you tell me what’s more unconstitutional than taking away from the people of America their Fifth Amendment rights, their Fourteenth Amendment rights, and the right to equal protection under the law?
442
If only I wasn’t an atheist, I could get away with anything. You’d just ask for forgiveness and then you’d be forgiven. It sounds much better than having to live with guilt.
443
Society, being codified by man, decrees that woman is inferior; she can do away with this inferiority only by destroying the male’s superiority.
444
445
The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
446
I don’t think a lot of people understand the situations I’ve been involved in and the way I grew up. I took myself away from it and made something out of a bad situation.
447
448
The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away.
449
450
In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion.

452
453
454
I began my career as an economics professor but became frustrated because the economic theories I taught in the classroom didn’t have any meaning in the lives of poor people I saw all around me. I decided to turn away from the textbooks and discover the real-life economics of a poor person’s existence.
455
Do what you love; you’ll be better at it. It sounds pretty simple, but you’d be surprised how many people don’t get this one right away.
456
Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.
457
I have become convinced that everything that is classy doesn’t go away.
458
Pain can be alleviated by morphine but the pain of social ostracism cannot be taken away.
459
460
There is more hooey spread about the Second Amendment. It says quite clearly that guns are for those who form part of a well-regulated militia, i.e., the armed forces including the National Guard. The reasons for keeping them away from everyone else get clearer by the day.
461
My poor children have been the subject of all of my experiments. We’re still doing what I call ‘Amish summers‘ where I turn off all electronics and pack away all their computers and stuff and watch them scream for a while until they settle down into, like, an electronic-free summer.
462
The magician and the politician have much in common: they both have to draw our attention away from what they are really doing.
463
Kashmir is an integral part of India, and nobody can take it away from us.
464
The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.
465
It is not what they take away from you that counts. It’s what you do with what you have left.
466
The song ‘Gave It All Away’ has a reggae sound.
467
468
You step away from the public eye for too long, they don’t care no more.
469
Your faith in yourself is all you will ever have. Don’t let anyone take it away from you, ever.
470
471
Be quiet, or my wife will take away your first born and make him or her work in one of her sweatshops!
472
We have a safe and good command-and-control system. Nobody can take away any nuclear weapon from Pakistan.
473
474
He who lives in our mind is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby.
475
It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
476
477
More than 30 years ago, when I had embarked upon the fight against child labour, it was not even considered an issue worth any discussion. It was accepted as a way of life in India, much like it was in other countries. Today, no country or business or society can throw this issue away.
478
Do not allow to slip away from you freedoms the people who came before you won with such hard knocks.

You have to fill your cup. You then give away the overflowing, but you keep a cupful for yourself.
485
486
In California, they don’t throw their garbage away – they make it into TV shows.
487
488
489
Work hard, work away from the game, work when no one’s looking, and just knowing that it’s a process. Everything will come at the right time.
490
We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.
491
When you’re underwater with goggles on, a couple of your senses are taken away, and it becomes this purely visual thing. It’s just you and yourself.
492
493
494
The nicknames – people say they couldn’t understand it, but look, I have really enjoyed my time away from 3AW, and I have discovered one thing – that I am more than just a yelling fanatical football follower who makes up nicknames.
495
I hate death; it takes people away from you. You’re left feeling rudderless.
496
497
Her face betokened all things dear and good, The light of somewhat yet to come was there Asleep, and waiting for the opening day, When childish thoughts, like flowers would drift away.
498
You don’t walk away if you love someone. You help the person.
499
I’d gotten away from my Buddhism. And I quit meditating.
500
501
Prohibit the taking of omens, and do away with superstitious doubts. Then, until death itself comes, no calamity need be feared.
502
Better to have beasts that let themselves be killed than men who run away.
503
504
505
I don’t run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.
506
If you love someone – like, truly love someone – I don’t think that ever goes away. But what does change is your perspective on the relationship and the dynamic.
507
I realise how precious life is, probably because I’ve seen how it can be taken away.
508
I do not love to be printed on every occasion, much less to be dunned and teased by foreigners about mathematical things or to be thought by our own people to be trifling away my time about them when I should be about the king‘s business.
509
One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
510
No matter how good you are at planning, the pressure never goes away. So I don’t fight it. I feed off it. I turn pressure into motivation to do my best.
