I think it’s hard to compare the NBA and the WNBA, but the thing about the NBA is they just have a ton of movement every year, but the WNBA doesn’t.

73
74
75

93

We often compare the experience of writing a book to that of playing God. It is up to us, and only us, to determine what happens to the people we invent.

127
If we are to assess the rationality of government expenditures to protect the lives of Americans through massive domestic surveillance, we need to compare this program to others aimed at saving American lives.
128

When you talk about the oil wealth you compare nations. There are some nations with less than five million people. Nigeria has 150 million people.

162
163
I used to be offended when people would compare me to Erykah Badu. Because I’m black, thick, and have large lips? There’s nothing similar about us whatsoever, and I felt very disrespected by the fact that people needed to pigeonhole me. I wasn’t even raised on Erykah Badu!
164
165
There’s nothing to compare to live music, there just isn’t anything.

187

194
You see somebody on a football field make a great, athletic 70-yard run, but the athleticism is immeasurable.

202

208
209

210
211
212

218

227
228
229

My best advice is to celebrate your own unique features and never put them down. There is beauty in individuality, and it’s so important to appreciate everything your body allows you to do. It’s OK to have a down day – we all do from time to time – but it’s not OK to compare yourself to others.
232
It is foolish to compare Shahid and Ishaan. Shahid has made it on his own. So will Ishaan. He did not get a Majid Majidi film because he is Shahid Kapoor’s brother.

267
268
269
270
271
272

283
I’m the one who often makes the ‘Murder, She Wrote’ reference, and ABC hates that, they don’t want me to do that. And I say that having never actually watched ‘Murder, She Wrote’.

284
285
I don’t think we should compare club teams with international teams because they are different cups of tea.

315
Hamilton‘ doesn’t compare to anything I’ve ever done.

327
328
329
Mohan Lal is my favorite actor, so if I am saying that Salman has performed better, you can believe how much he has done. Salman is better looking, so that’s his plus point.

I don’t want to compare myself to Picasso, but he had four or five periods in his life. Any good artist grows and changes and matures.

Not that I want to compare myself with the great Madhubala. But in our own completely distinctive and different ways, both Anarkali in ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ and Rewa in ‘Naach’ express the essence of life through dance.

‘Reinventing the Bazaar,’ by John McMillan, is a great and fun introduction to the wild variety and importance of markets throughout history and around the world. I finally understood how a Middle Eastern souk actually works economically and how to compare that to modern-day telecom-spectrum auctions. I love that book.
336
I don’t listen to what people say about me and I don’t read what they write about me. People can compare me to anyone they want to, but I’m not going to worry about it.

The very first thing you learn if you’re a gentleman is that you never compare one woman to another. That’s the way of all death.

345
You cannot compare warm-ups with World Cup games.
346
Every movie is unique and hence, I will not compare ‘KGF’ with the projects I choose in the future. So, I’m not under any pressure.

When you’re acting on camera, you don’t really think of your voice. You think of the whole instrument – your body, your look, and whatever you have to do. But when you’re doing the voiceover, you’re thinking only of your voice. You really can’t compare the two different mediums.

If you look at human society, it is very easy, of course, to compare our warfare and territoriality with the chimpanzee. But that’s only one side of what we do. We also trade, we intermarry, we allow each other to travel through our territory. There’s an enormous amount of cooperation.

There’s no drug in the world that can compare with playing music.
