19
20

26
27

28
29
30
Because of the Internet, you’re sort of forced to deal with people from very different backgrounds and beliefs. It’s a great challenge of our time, and depending on when you ask me, I feel optimistic or pessimistic about it.
31
32
Onboarding starts with satisfying the most basic of Maslow’s psychological needs: belonging. New hires shouldn’t arrive to an empty cube and be forced to forage through corridors searching for a computer and the bare necessities of office life. A new hire isn’t a surprise visitor from out of town. Plan for their arrival.
33
From nuclear waste to Northern Rock and Metronet, risk is never transferred to the private sector – the state will always be forced to step in where there is a clear public interest.
34
35
Members of the Senate and House, if they want to send troops into war, should be forced to send a family member. That would really make everyone stop and go, ‘Ohhh-kaaay.’
36
I don’t necessarily think that having more money helps make you make a better film. Sometimes having less money is better. You’re forced into being more original; you’re forced into hearing something versus seeing it.
37
38
I like the feeling of making things. It’s very very rewarding. And filmmaking is that type of experience, where you’re forced to collaborate with so many people. You’re involved in the beginning to end, you’re involved with so many elements, and when it’s done, you’re like, ‘I made this movie.’
39
40
An old theory holds that air conditioning ruined Congress. Members no longer had to flee the Washington heat to spend the summer back home. The long vacation forced them to bond with their constituents.
41
A sibling is a friend for life, but they are a friend for life that you are forced to have. And like anything that you are forced to do, occasionally people will drive you crazy.
42
43
44
Being gay, you’re kind of forced to ask, I suppose, very existential questions from a very, very early age. Your identity becomes so important to you because you’re trying to understand it, and, I think, from the age of, like, 9, you’re being forced to ask questions… that other kids maybe don’t have to ask.
45
The notion of religious liberty is that you cannot be forced to participate in a religious ceremony that’s not of your choosing simply because you’re out-voted.
46
It is important to understand the continuing, confused fascination with the Second World War. For most of us, the great unspoken question is how would we have behaved in the face of danger and when forced to make major moral choices.
47
48
49
I believe that modern slavery is the most outrageous assault on the rights of an individual. It is something that touches me deeply because I grew up in rural Brazil and could see first-hand how poverty forced people to work in harsh, exploitative conditions.
50
51
Magical realism allows an artist like myself to inject layers of meaning without being obvious. In American culture, where there is freedom of expression, this approach may seem forced, unnecessary and misunderstood. But this system of communication has become very Iranian.
52
You can be a great researcher, and you can think you have great ideas, but until you’re forced to talk to a potential customer, you never really know.
53
54

55
56
57
I believe in the power of media. I really do. It’s my soapbox. And I do have an agenda, because I’m enraged by the limitations forced on people – by poverty, oppression, hatred, fear – and I’m saddened by the kind of loss we all experienced due to the contributions that people cannot make because of their circumstances.

Do you lend books and DVDs to people? If so, don’t you always regret it? All my life I have forced books on to people who have subsequently forgotten all about it. Meanwhile, on my shelves sit many orphaned books loaned to me over the years by trusting, innocent souls – some as long ago as the Seventies.
64
65
No one should be forced to violate one’s conscience, nor should anyone be forced out of service of the common good because there are some things their conscience tells them they cannot do.
66
It is clearly a political move to remove 8chan from Cloudflare. It has forced a lot of people to find other places to talk. It has dispersed a peacefully assembled group of people talking. This silenced them effectively.

First of all, we have seen now in six years of Obamacare that it has been a disaster. It is the biggest job-killer in this country. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, have been forced into part-time work, have lost their health insurance, have lost their doctors, have seen their premiums skyrocket.
71
72
73
74
The American people don’t want Obamacare. It has been forced on the American people, despite the fact that Democrats no longer control the House.
75
It is hard to be enthusiastic about the economy‘s prospects when house prices are falling: Households spend less, small business owners can’t use homes as collateral for loans and local governments are forced to cut jobs and programs as property-tax revenue disappears.
76
77
We need an attitude of defiance, not an attitude of cowardice. Out in the street, that’s how we are winning against the TransCanada Pipeline. This is how we have delayed the Trans-Pacific Partnership and forced it into an election season, gotten everybody to stand against it. Democracy is not about surrender.
78
79
I remember when I was first losing my ability to play my fast licks and my hands were shaking and falling off the guitar. It forced me to sort of create a new slow style.
80
I forced myself to have a big family because I never had a big family.

87
88
89
Nobody forced me to look any way. I just exaggerated what was already there.
90

91
Yes, I was forced to take piano lessons for 8 years as a child.
92
93
94

95
96
97
98
The time has come to end the suffering and the plight of millions of Palestine refugees in the homeland and the Diaspora, to end their displacement and to realize their rights, some of them forced to take refuge more than once in different places of the world.
99
100
I just want to live each moment, but it’s kind of hard to do that when you are asked to analyze yourself constantly. But it’s also good in that you are forced to think about things that you don’t ordinarily think about. I think it’s strange.
101
When you’re in a gang, you go through life like any other individual. You have certain obligations, but you are not forced to do anything.
102
103
I was born in Brazil and grew up in the ’70s under a climate of political distress, and I was forced to learn to communicate in a very specific way – in a sort of a semiotic black market. You couldn’t really say what you wanted to say; you had to invent ways of doing it. You didn’t trust information very much.
104
105
106
Photography brought a lot to painting because it forced artists to think about what painting could do that photography couldn’t.
107
Humans can be cruel – kids and adults alike. That doesn’t mean they have to be forced to a specific stereotype.
108
109
The policy of the Obama administration is to employ regulatory strangulation to drive up the price of energy. This must be exposed and opposed for what it is: a policy of forced economic contraction.
110
I’m constantly warning people that are involved in my life that I can go busk and make a living. I can make my rent in New York City in the subway, I promise, if I’m forced to.
111
112
Do you remember the first three years of Steam? People absolutely hated that Valve forced you to launch their game through what some people called a virus at the time, which was the Steam client. But Steam led the digital distribution revolution: it was the first across all platforms.
113
As a congressman, why should I be forced to peruse cable stations and blog sites for information on the discussions and then be asked to vote for the deal when I have no input and no time to know even what’s in it?
114

115
Sometimes there are actions that we are forced to take, but there need to be boundaries beyond which we are going to recognize that we’re not going to go because we still are Americans, and we are supposed to be representing something to people in this country and overseas.
116
The future battle on the ground will be preceded by battle in the air. This will determine which of the contestants has to suffer operational and tactical disadvantages and be forced throughout the battle into adoption compromise solutions.

119

122
123
The Hungarians, by nature, are not extreme. They become more extreme only when they are forced to fight for their freedom, as was in the case in the uprising against the communists in 1956 or the revolution against the Austrian Empire. They will not turn extreme in the name of despotism.
124
In L.A. everyone is in the entertainment industry, so you’re forced to think about work.
125
In the north we could not hope to keep the worst and poorest servant for a single day in the wretched discomfort in which our negro servants are forced habitually to live.

128
129

130

131

133
134
135

137
I love sleeping and to inculcate the habit of early rising, my dad forced me to take up a sport. That was the only reason I started playing cricket in the first place. And thereafter it continued.
138
In 1978, when I thought of creating a flag for the gay movement, there was no other international symbol for us than the pink triangle, which the Nazis used to identify homosexuals in concentration camps. Even though the pink triangle was and still is a powerful symbol, it was very much forced upon us.
139
If you claim to represent and speak for the people, and they are forced to pay your salary, you have a duty to experience life as near as possible to the way others live it.
140
141
Migration is as natural as breathing, as eating, as sleeping. It is part of life, part of nature. So we have to find a way of establishing a proper kind of scenario for modern migration to exist. And when I say ‘we,’ I mean the world. We need to find ways of making that migration not forced.
142
143
I grew up going to school and high school and then shooting a movie for a few months. It’s an odd way to grow up and is kind of forced maturity.
144

145
146
There was no one near to confuse me, so I was forced to become original.

I am very much afraid of definitions, and yet one is almost forced to make them. One must take care, too, not to be inhibited by them.
149
150

151
The fact is, every thinker, every philosopher, the moment he is forced to abandon his one-sided intellectual occupation by practical necessity, immediately returns to the general point of view of mankind.
152
I think I shall return to America even a better patriot than when I left it. A citizen of the United States, travelling on the continent of Europe, finds the contrast between a government of power and a government of opinion forced upon him at every step.
153
In 1954, Guatemala’s deposed president, the democratically elected Jacobo Arbenz, was forced to strip down to his underwear and photographed before being allowed to leave the country.
154
I was forced to learn a lot about psychology as a player, and as a captain to get the best out of others. There’s still a lot of scepticism about it in sport and the workplace, but dealing with fluctuations of form, and pressure, and being away from home are more important than your cover-drive.
155
My grandmother was energetic and fearless – a talented poet and songwriter. She was also interested in chemistry and history and medicine, taking care of the people in her hacienda in Mexico, delivering babies. She could have become anything, but this was the 1930s, and she was forced into an arranged marriage.
156
The unions claim the deck is stacked against them when it comes to labor laws, but the truth is many private and public sector workers are forced to pay union dues as a condition of their employment, yet they have little say in how the unions spend their money.
157
You can’t be judgmental about babies. They are all have different needs. I was left with an enduring hatred of cheese because it was forced down me when I was young.
158
159
160
When you’re forced to watch something in school, you never really enjoy it; you sort of rebel against it in a certain way.
161
162
163
What happens in the media is the cult of personality. The brands who have been forced to cut their staff have been forced to take on the brands of journalists.
164
Carter‘s hopes died when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and he ended up having to reverse policy and launch the military buildup that Reagan continued. Mr. Obama would be forced back into a war on terror if terrorist groups pull off enough damaging or frightening attacks to force this issue to the fore.
165
I never witness a performance of child-acrobats, or the exhibition of any forced talent, physical or mental, on the part of children, without protesting, at least in my own mind, against the blindness and cruelty of their parents or guardians or whoever has care of them.
166
I got to work with my wife, Lena Olin, for the first time, which was great. I thought it might be difficult in some way to talk to one’s wife in a different way but it was so not forced.
167
In the absence of sound oversight, responsible businesses are forced to compete against unscrupulous and underhanded businesses, who are unencumbered by any restrictions on activities that might harm the environment, or take advantage of middle-class families, or threaten to bring down the entire financial system.
168
Soccer was my first love, and I enjoyed playing on the left wing until a groin injury forced me out of the game in 2008.
169
170
171
I smile when I want to smile. I don’t want to be forced.
172
In India, we are forced to choose our specialisation very early, whereas in some other countries, this can be done much later in life. While the British have abandoned this approach, we in India seem to be struggling with the old British system of education.
173
174
The truth is my dad was a lovely man who had to retire early from his job as an engineer because he had osteoporosis. It meant he was forced to wear a harness and could hardly breathe.
175
Mr. Bergman was a man of great working discipline. He forced everyone to concentrate when it was important. No disturbing noise during rehearsal. A code of silence.
176
177
It’s not fair that people who work, save, and pay for their cell phones are forced to fund the Lifeline program that pads the pockets of people like Carlos Slim, the foreign billionaire who has repeatedly been named the World’s Richest Man.
178
179
I think there is a point in every teenager’s life where they are forced to come into themselves.
180
Sometimes I think that I was forced to withdraw into depression because it was the only rightful protest I could throw in the face of a world that said it was alright for people to come and go as they please, that there were simply no real obligations left.
181
I was 17 when I was forced into marriage. I had no hand in it, and I didn’t even enjoy being with the man. Also, I wanted to study, but no one listened to me. I wanted to move forward in life, it wasn’t a happy situation. Because of some family problems, I had to stick around.
182
I love old-fashioned manners, as long as it’s not forced. I can tell when it’s natural or when someone is just trying to impress me.
183
184
185
I never want to have to take certain roles, because I want to maintain a certain level of artistic credibility. But sometimes you’re forced to do things for the money.
186
My musical taste and image is going to change naturally. It’s not forced; I do what comes natural to me. Sometimes, I like to be dark… other times, I like to be really light and ladylike.
187
188
I regret that I had to leave my country. But I had to do it in order to achieve and decide my own fate. I was forced into it. Democracy came about 15 years too late for me. But I have to say that it’s there now, and Czech Republic is a fantastic country; it always was but just had the wrong regime at the top.
189
190
191
192
193
No one should be forced to not dream anymore.
194
The highest compliment one can give a writer is not to say that one wholeheartedly agrees with his observations, but that he provoked – really, forced – difficult thinking about consequential matters and internal questioning of one’s own assumptions, often without quick or clear resolution.
195
‘Greatest American Hero,’ I really dug that as a kid because it had an alienation to it, where he was given a gift and didn’t know why, and yet he was forced to do something with it, and he was very much an out-of-place character who was trying to cope with his own surroundings, and I can kind of relate to that guy.
196
Our idea of fun wasn’t going to Disney World. It was, you want to play basketball, go outside, and make a goal. You want to play baseball? Take the old broom, take the handle off, take a tennis ball that we found somewhere, and go play baseball. We were forced to create things.
197
198
Filming ‘The Road to Riches‘ was surprisingly difficult for me. I learned that going back to career successes and failures can be emotionally exhausting as you are forced to revisit the euphoric highs and painful lows in high speed.
199
200
201
It’s really good to be forced to get away and try something else, find something that’s exciting.
202
203
204
205
Ironically, Hillary Clinton‘s appointment in 2008 as secretary of state was forced on Obama by her presidential campaign supporters, who insisted she play a major role in the then-new Democratic administration after a bruising primary fight.
206
We who follow the teachings of Elijah Muhammad don’t want to be forced to integrate. Integration is wrong. We don’t want to live with the white man; that’s all.
207
I was out of the house at 16 by my own doing. It forced me to really grow up and take care of myself, and I learned a lot of things that your parents usually teach you, on my own.
208
I don’t have any favourites, but I like situational comedies, not forced ones.
209
The premise of ‘Deadline’ forced me to go against my own grain with a character determined to find all that is valuable in that time. I believe this is a story about redemption; how, even with the best intentions, it’s sometimes found and sometimes not.
210
211
212
I often have the impression that the book I’ve just finished isn’t satisfied: that it rejects me because I haven‘t successfully completed it. Because there is no going back, I’m forced to begin a new book so I can finally complete the previous one.
213
214
I make documentaries from time to time to remind myself of reality. It’s like musicians doing scales to keep their fingers working: when you’re in the street, listening to people, you’re forced to be in the service of your subject.
215
216
217
I had given a presentation on design and happiness for quite a long while at design conferences. I had found thinking about the topic helpful for my own practice, as it forced me to consider the fundamentals, and the feedback from the audience was always enthusiastic.
218
219
220
221
Under adversity, under oppression, the words begin to fail, the easy words begin to fail. In order to convey things accurately, the human being is almost forced to find the most precise words possible, which is a precondition for literature.
222
223
224
225
226
227
228
If you read the 13th Amendment, it doesn’t talk about narratives of racial difference. It doesn’t talk about ideologies of white supremacy. It only talks about involuntary servitude and forced labor.
229
230
231
I left my country because I was forced to, and I do not think that I am going to lose my language because I live in England.
232
233
234
A lot of young people have been raised on our music, or rather had it forced upon them by their parents.
235
I love the challenge of playing characters forced on life-changing emotional journeys. To work on a project with Billy Crudup and Sam Rockwell is just a dream come true.
236
It’s not often one gets the chance to write this but, when it comes to the bailouts, especially the euro bailouts, Marxists are right. Working people are being forced to support a privileged few.
237
It’s heartbreaking to see theater people be forced to accept the business side of show business.
238
The unending chase for money, I believe, threatens to steal our democracy itself. I’ve used the word ‘corrupting,’ and I want to be very clear about it: I mean by it not the corruption of individuals, but a corruption of a system itself that all of us are forced to participate in against our will.
239
I’ve become wary of interviews in which you’re forced to go back over the reasons why you made certain decisions. You tend to rationalize what you’ve done, to intellectually review a process that is often intuitive.
240
241
When jurors are forced to spend day and night with each other, apart from their families and friends, they become a tribe unto themselves. Because they only have each other for company, and because most people prefer harmony to discord, there’s a natural desire to cooperate, to compromise in order to reach agreement.
242
The depth of this conflict, which is more than one hundred years old, requires us to find a way to communicate… so that the residents of the Middle East, Jews and Arabs alike, can live not as if they were forced to live together, but rather destined to live together.
243
244
When I came into the music, I was forced to be a CEO. I was forced to be an entrepreneur; I was forced to… because I was looking for a deal. I didn’t have this grand scheme of starting a record company and then morphing into a clothing empire.
245
246
I move countries every three or four years. I was born in London, and we lived in Canada. Then we lived in Saudi Arabia until the Gulf War broke out, when we were forced to leave. Then we hop-scotched for a while from Holland back to Canada back to Saudi Arabia. Then there was D-day, so we had to get out again.
247
248
I think there is a sense of being forced at this time to look at America’s really large shadow and that’s not all that bad.
249
250
251
252
I did Chekhov’s ‘Three Sisters‘ once. Two months in, I remember going, ‘Human beings shouldn’t be forced to do or watch this play every night.’ It’s so dark and so bottomless.
253
A heart can no more be forced to love than a stomach can be forced to digest food by persuasion.
254
Coming from Akkineni family, I could say I was drawn into cinema, but nobody forced me to become an actor.
255
Like every Aussie actor, I’d rather be working here; it’s just we’ve all been forced to go to the States. Business-wise, as an actor, it’s more lucrative, and there’s also a lot more of it there.
256
No family should have to depend on the labor of its children to put food on the table and no person should be forced to work in captivity.
257
258
What’s really sad is that a lot of very talented people are being forced to do things that are very embarrassing and I don’t intend to be one of them.
259
I bought my parents a house. Then I bought myself a Rolex. My brother forced me to do it, but I’m glad he did.
260
As a former federal judge, I am cognizant of the legal issues. As governor, I am forced to deal with their ramifications.
261
While other countries have been securing large export deals, American companies have been placed at a competitive disadvantage – forced to compete globally with one hand tied behind their back.
262
Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina.
263
Republican-led reforms would help Americans purchase their own coverage through the use of tax credits and expanded health savings accounts so that they can get a plan that works for them, not a one-size-fits-all plan forced on them by the government.
264
Any man who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle.
265
266
I don’t think I’m being forced to grow up too fast; I would rather people treat me like an adult.
267
Whatever we’ll be forced to do later, we should be doing now.
268
For 47 years, the U.K. has been forced to follow rules set by Brussels bureaucrats, many of whom have never set a foot on British soil.
269
270
How it infuriates a bigot, when he is forced to drag out his dark convictions!
271
I was forced to be an artist and a CEO from the beginning, so I was forced to be like a businessman because when I was trying to get a record deal, it was so hard to get a record deal on my own that it was either give up or create my own company.
272
I don’t think humor is forced upon my universe; it’s a part of it.
273
Technology forced me to divorce a pixie and remarry a pixel.
274
I am just at that stage of wondering where I go from here. I came into this business almost by accident, but now it has become serious. What started as a bit of fun, something to do other than be a model, has taken on a different career curve. I have been forced to ask where that curve is going to end up.
275

277
At the end of the day, everyone is repsonsible for their own contracts. Nobody forced us to sign them.
278
I have known for some time that I can meet any man I want but that does not mean that I want to meet anyone. I certainly don’t like being forced into situations.
279
With the loss of Free Choice Vouchers, hundreds of thousands of workers will now be forced to choose between their employers‘ unaffordable insurance or going without health care.
280
281
Everybody laughs at me because I don’t really wear much make-up. I have to be forced and usually people buy make-up for me because they’re like, this is ridiculous.
282
We should be forced to give so many exemptions and concessions (inevitably to the benefit of high spending authorities in Inner London) that the flat-rate poll tax would rapidly become a surrogate income tax.
283
No student should be forced to choose between following her faith and enjoying the benefits of a public education.
284
The most compelling economic and geopolitical story in 2017 will almost certainly revolve around China. The world’s most populous country bankrolled an economic boom with high levels of debt and leverage, with which the government is now forced to reckon.
285
Of course, we wrote the songs accordingly and performed and recorded them that way. At that time, we really thought it was right, but you know, seen in retrospect, it made the album sound forced, and not really great.
286
Businesswomen are fine. But they shouldn’t be forced to pay for the raising of the family. It’s the husband’s job. That’s the way I see it.
287
If someone comes to me and says they’re not capable of being loved, I want to reach out to them and tell them that everybody’s loveable. If a man is forced or wants to become a better man, then I root for him. Everybody needs to be loved.
288
You have to show Israel that it’s not going to be forced to do things it doesn’t want to do and can’t do.
289
290
291
292
If I were a congressman who had voted for the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, I’d claim it was forced on our country by a sinister international organization.
293
294
295
I think one thing with Sweden is that in some way the Swedish society is a very good society, almost perfect on the surface. That is something that makes the writers forced to see what is underneath the surface, because it’s always something underneath the surface, of course.
296
Tolerance is forced on people in London.
297
298
299
When I got a bit older, I put on my own plays and forced my friends to perform.
300
I was painfully shy for a long time. I mean, that’s something I really had to work my way out of. And I really think it was because, after the 2008 Olympics, I spent a whole year bartending. It was the one thing that really forced me to be just not so scared to start conversations with strangers.
301
Travel works best when you’re forced to come to terms with the place you’re in.
302
303
I think you should never be forced to be nice as an artist. An artist has to be uncomfortable in a way. Narcissistic and uncomfortable.
304
When coffee prices fall below production costs, farmers are often forced off their land, and they lose their homes, everything. With fair trade, farmers get a fair price for their harvest with a guaranteed minimum, so they can invest in their crops.
305
It’s actually a pretty basic concept: when businesses feel secure and confident, they are more likely to grow, hire, and invest. Conversely, when the economy is unstable, businesses often become much more risk averse, and in many cases, they’re forced to make undesirable cuts that affect their bottom line.
306
I suppose I was very disappointed that I was injured during training for Korea. In fact, I had an argument with a grenade and it won, and consequently I was forced to come back to Australia for twelve months.
307
308
309
310
311
312
With every song I have a person in mind who, in a perfect world, would perform with me. Usually I end up not getting that person, and I’m forced to settle for someone else.
313
314
Ideas have a certain gestation period that can’t be forced.
315
316
Since I joined Congress, I’ve been shocked at how many times we were forced to vote on 1,000-plus-page bills without ample time to read or review what was in the final legislation. It’s no wonder Congress doesn’t enact good policy.
317
To be a film-maker, you are almost forced to be surrounded by contradictions… You must have talents of so many different kinds – talents that are contradictory.
318
319
It would be easy to blame Hollywood to say that I was typed and forced to play the same role over and over. For a while, I did. But the truth is that I knew what I was doing. I was enjoying myself. I was making money.
320
321
WikiLeaks is what happens when the entire U.S. government is forced to go through a full-body scanner.
322
I am forced to view the Middle East as if I am looking in a mirror that has been shattered.

325
326
War was forced upon mankind in his original civil and social condition.
327
328
Due to the closure of many deaf schools in the U.K., deaf children are forced to attend mainstream school. I don’t mind this idea: I think it’s inclusive, and it better prepares children for life in a hearing world. I don’t mind this idea – if that child gets the right support.
329
As we grow, our music grows, and it’s very natural and organic, and it’s nothing that’s forced, which is really, really important to us because we don’t want to just do something drastic just to do it.
330
331
Nearly 300,000 more people are forced to accept part-time employment because of this rotten non-recovery recovery than when Obama arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
332
I would never write about someone that forced me to write at a lower register than what I can write.
333
I personally believe that those who are leaders with political power over the world will be forced some day, sooner or later, to give way to common sense and the will of the people.
334
Forced to confront a reptile or an international financial crisis, I’ll take the reptile every time.
335
My problem in calling for pressures on South Africa is to convince the youth to convince their governments and people that it is not the South African goods that are cheap, but the forced labor of the Africans.
336
337
I did swimming, gymnastics, dance, and the acting was just a small part. I didn’t have pushy parents; it wasn’t forced upon me. They just said, ‘See if you like it. If you do, great; if you don’t, don’t worry about it.’ I was really fortunate to have that guidance and supportive parents.
338
339
Where workers are not free to change employers or leave the country without the permission of their employer, workers are, de facto, in forced labour.
340
341
Becoming a mom forced me to re-prioritize and make room for the things that are most important, while recognizing that there are things I can let go of, and the world won’t crumble around me.
342
Although religion was around me my whole life I never felt it was forced upon me. It is my centring, my grounding, the soul of me. I feel I’m nothing without it.
343
If Nixon is not forced to turn over tapes of his conversations with the ring of men who were conversing on their violations of the law, then liberty will soon be dead in this nation.
344
It is the characteristic excellence of the strong man that he can bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them. The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves.
345
And, so yeah, I’ll always want to work in independent films because you’re not forced into a category or a formula.
346
My parents never forced things on my brother and me: not our faith, not our sports, not our friends. Yet they taught us about surrounding ourselves with the right people: the kind of people we want to be.
347
348
349
Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don’t give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution.
350
351
I was never an A student. I never really liked going to school like many of my friends. There were just too many students and too competitive. We were sort of forced into studying to go to college. It was like if we didn’t go to college, society looked at us as failures. We didn’t know what to do with the situation.
352
Economy forced me to become a vegetarian, but I finally starting liking it.
353
354
No American should be forced to choose between their spouse and their country.
355
During the 80s and 90s, we all became consumed with ourselves. In the 21st century, we’ve come back to simpler times. People are struggling economically and this has forced them to scale back the material aspects of their lives and realise the beauty of finding the simple joy in being with the people we love.
356
357
I think that one thing about teaching is you’re trying to communicate your thoughts about a work to a group of people who may or may not share that sentiment. This has forced me to become a lot more articulate about what I respond to and what I don’t respond to in fiction.
358
Pink Floyd and Yes and some of the old art-rock bands, you didn’t know what they looked like. You were always looking for pictures, and that added to the mystique. It’s much more interesting when you’re forced to imagine or guess at these things because usually it’s better than reality.
359
Put your financial life on autopilot as a form of ‘forced’ saving.
360
Some women are forced by men to look a certain way to be accepted by the general public, and I find that terrible.
361
362
When I was seven my parents divorced. My father went to Dallas. My mom fled to the shelter of my grandparents in a strange central Ohio town of 22,000, Wooster. When it looked like I was growing up to be a wimp I was forced to live with my father, which I did not want to do.
363
364
If you choose to do something, then you shouldn’t say it’s a sacrifice, because nobody forced you to do it.
365
366
My dad never forced me to do anything. But if I did it, if I decided to go play catch or basketball, he was hard on me. You had to do it the right way if you were going to do it. He never let me win.
367
368
369
The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.
370
My father and brother always forced me to work out, and I never liked doing it.
371
372
I know that we have to get in there and do something if we want to change the system and get a better government. But the whole task is very daunting. If I join either the Congress or the BJP, I will be forced to follow their systems and then I may not be able to do anything significant to change things.
373
374
Capitalism works better from every perspective when the economic decision makers are forced to share power with those who will be affected by those decisions.
375
376
Change before you’re forced to change.
377
378
379
380
Foreign workers typically migrate to Malaysia willingly, looking for greater opportunities, but often fall into forced labor or debt bondage.
381
382
383
In my house, education was the paramount value. And if you grew up in a neighborhood like mine, you were forced to decide early on what you stood for in life, because there were a lot of peer pressures that could take you the wrong way.
384
385
The more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose.
386
The public digs needled me to rebel. They forced me to work harder.
387
388
I ended up doing three very complicated off-Broadway plays that, in certain ways, were not successes in that they were received in a complicated way. But for me they were successes because they forced me to act without singing, which I’d never done before.
389
The history of business has shown that companies usually only regulate themselves if they’re forced to by legislation, or out of self-interest – often in the shape of a marketable message that will help sell more products.
390
My obligation, if I become president, is to give another direction to Europe than the one that is being forced upon us today.
391
We knew when we started the Daily Muse, we wanted a recruiting-focused business model rather than an advertising-focused one. We felt like publishers were being forced to go to more and more extreme lengths to monetize through advertising.
392
A friend forced me to watch ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ and even though it was a fantastic movie, I could only watch one.
393
394
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
395
Kids – black kids – are forced to grow up too soon.
396
The reality of this Obamacare provision is that young adults will be forced to subsidize healthcare costs for older, financially stable, working-age Americans. At a time when 20-somethings face underemployment, record school debt and less economic opportunity, it is unfair to saddle them with this burden.
397
But if we can manage it so people don’t have things forced on them that they don’t want, I think there’s every reason to believe things can settle out in a situation that is recognizably better than the one we’re stuck in today.
398
399
400
I’m a small businessman and I’m well aware of the uncertainties of the economy, exactly what the ‘inflationary spiral‘ means when I’m forced to raise prices to my customers, and how taxes can eat into your earnings.
401
I think that every homeowner has a fascination with real estate. You can’t deny that it’s such a huge player in our finances. It’s probably the most expensive thing you’ll ever purchase, so you’re forced to pay attention.
402
I think about ‘The Simpsons,’ which has been going on for 25 years. Homer is still in his late 30’s. Lisa is 8, Bart is 10. Their stories are told. Yet the series keeps going on and on like a zombie that won’t lie down and die. That feels forced and unnatural. The characters never change, grow, age.
403
404
What characterizes a member of a minority group is that he is forced to see himself as both exceptional and insignificant, marvelous and awful, good and evil.
405
Populate your life with people different from you. Once you leave school, you get to choose the kinds of people you’re going to be around rather than forced to be around them.
406
407
Around the world, human traffickers trick many people into slavery by false promises of good jobs or good education, only to find themselves forced to work without pay, under the threat of violence.
408
I’ve had to work by myself at combines before and forced myself to work out alone all the way back to high school. You have to be self-motivated.
409
Nor should the U.S. military be forced to remain in Iraq essentially as an army for one side of a civil war.
410
That word ‘prodigy’ has such a derogatory implication. It is used to describe people who are forced to play a lot of concerts very early, people whose audience comes because of their youth, people who are exploited. None of the above really applied to me.
411
412
Imagine having all of your freedoms taken away, being forced to work against your will, and constantly living under the threat of violence – in short, being forced to live as a slave. Sadly, this situation is a reality for millions of children, women, and men each year as part of the global human trafficking industry.
413
414
The Tories are trying to lock the country into the old, dirty technologies that harm our communities and the people who are forced to live with disruption on their doorstep.
415
Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people.
416
A woman at the Limited once asked me, ‘Why do you work?’ She said, ‘You made a lot of money as a young man, so why are you still working?’ I had never thought about it before. Forced to consider it, I told her, ‘You know why? Because I think that if you stop to smell the roses, you’ll get hit by a truck.’
417
418
419
People are forced to become doctors or engineers today. It makes no sense to force children to study something they are not interested in. I believe each one should be encouraged to follow their dreams.
420
No-one is forced to stand for Parliament; no-one is compelled to become a minister. If you take on those roles, which are great privileges, you also take on big responsibilities.
421
I want to be very clear: if we are to sell this business, we are not a forced seller.
422
Now workers should have the right to join unions. But unions should not be forced upon workers. And unions should not have the power to take money our of their members’ paychecks to buy the support of politicians that are favored by the union bosses.
423
424
425
But in the free market system, you’re forced to change.
426
427
428
Nobody held a gun to my head and forced me to write recaps about the tenth season of ‘American Idol.’ Although I feel like someone must have and I just forgot about it.
429
430
431
Governments are out of control, irresponsible, never have enough money, never tighten their own belts, and when they are forced to, they always threaten to shut down police departments and teachers and all these things.
432
I don’t watch horror films, because I don’t want those images in my psyche, and I resent having them forced on me before a movie of my choosing.
433
434
There’s nothing better than to be rootless cosmopolitans who seamlessly merge into whatever society. That’s the greatest thing human beings can aspire to. Whether forced by duress, Jews became perfect modern human beings. After the Holocaust, one doesn’t really mourn for that – it’s too disturbing, seems like a mistake.
435
If we are going to realise our ambition of ending the harmful practices of FGM and forced marriage, the role of young people in pushing for change is crucial. We also need to ensure that everyone, from government to civil society, is playing their part.
436
437
North Koreans are forced to work at state jobs in a moribund economy. Countless parents watch their children go to bed hungry. Many North Korean families feel they have no option but to try to escape.
438
439
The Muslim Brotherhood and the Salifist parties are a real force in the Egyptian society. No civil, liberal government can succeed, even after new elections, if the Islamists are forced to work underground as a foe and the country remains divided.
440
Nothing that’s forced can ever be right, if it doesn’t come naturally, leave it.
441
I think that governments are going to get disrupted by the blockchain. I think in the same way that the Internet forced everyone to evolve, the Blockchain is going to change the game again.
442
I was one of those children forced into fighting at the age of 13, in my country Sierra Leone, a war that claimed the lives of my mother, father and two brothers. I know too well the emotional, psychological and physical burden that comes with being exposed to violence as a child or at any age for that matter.
443
I find it incredible and outrageous that public and school libraries are being forced to close – we’ll all pay the price in the long term.
444
The Chinese people have been forced to forget the Tiananmen massacre. There has been no public debate about the event, no official apology. The media aren’t allowed to mention it. Still today people are being persecuted and imprisoned for disseminating information about it.
445
When I try to be patient on my own, my patience is forced and short-lived. It is obvious to everyone that I am desperately trying to be patient.
446
It’s one of the biggest fibs going that American newspapers are now being forced to give up their commitment to investigative reporting. Most of them gave up long ago as their greedy managements squeezed every cent out of the bottom line and turned their newsrooms into eunuchs.
447
There was a time my parents never listened to me. They wouldn’t have forced me into marriage had they heard me out. But now, they support me.
448
People shouldn’t be forced to chose between paying for rent or paying for medication. They deserve a government ready to take on Big Pharma by implementing health coverage, starting by extending pharmacare coverage to every Canadian.
449
My cousin in Louisiana started a small company with a little savings, renovating houses. A single mom, she saved enough to buy a home and provide child care for her son. When the economy went belly up, so did her company. She was forced to sell her home and move in with her parents.
450
In these difficult times, the feeling of solidarity with my Jewish co-religionists is doubly gratifying and comforting in view of the deprivation of rights with which German Jews are now forced to live.
451
Vice President Biden’s surprising declaration of unqualified support for gay marriage seems to have forced President Obama into a public endorsement of a controversial social issue. It is difficult not to suspect that Biden’s pronouncement aimed to give the president some political cover.
452
I was forced to leave my hometown, and Napoli sold me to Juventus.
453
In most of the European countries – France stands out in its resistance to this particular form of American cultural imperialism – the national film industries were forced onto the defensive after the war by such binding agreements.
454
Travel means growth. You have to see something new. You have to grow. You can’t grow in the same place. Travel takes the edge off and you are thrust into a new environment where you are forced to survive and to learn the language.
455
There’s a common misconception about running for office. People think it’s dreadful, morally compromising work. But I’ve found the opposite is true. It made a better person and a better feminist. It forced me to take a hard look at my shortcomings.
456
So why don’t all religions get together and go to war with atheists? Because we all want the same thing: respect and tolerance and not to be forced to do anything we don’t want to.
457
My poor sister was forced to be in the plays that I would write. We would go to my grandma‘s retirement building and perform ‘Phantom of the Opera.’
458
459
460
461
You’re forced to think about what your goals are and you clarify them because you’re taking this journey with another person and you need to be open with your partner.
462
One of the noxious features of Obamacare was its forced march into a single, federally designed package of health benefits.
463
464
I was forced to earn some extra glue and made the hysterically shortsighted decision to pose for photos in very tiny and colorful swimwear for a fitness magazine, that would become the fuel to many a comical fire in my clubhouse environments over the years.
465
Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.
466
The market is so competitive. There are so many products that are similar. So we are forced to invest in innovative research in new products that are one or two years ahead of the market.
467
468
Football is, honestly, so objectively bad that I have always been convinced that the only reason it is so ‘popular‘ is some kind of mass conspiracy. Everyone who ‘likes‘ it is just pretending to like it because they see other people ‘liking’ it, and now we are all forced to endure it.
469
470
It’s as simple as you can explain all of ‘Dallas.’ We’re a dysfunctional family forced to stay together.
471
472
I’m a Southerner – I never take satisfaction in touching a nerve. I guess if I’m forced to find a good side, I’m glad that people are talking about an issue that hasn’t really been discussed all that much. I’m glad that people are talking about it from the black perspective and the white perspective.
473
474
475
It was the desire to see black girls and our experiences in the books that I was given to read at school that forced me to speak my truth. I launched #1000BlackGirlBooks, a book drive to collect the stories of women of color.
476
Every day is a learning experience for city kids, and they are really sort of forced to interact with everyone around them and develop into social beings.
477
We need a straitjacket around Congress when it comes to spending so that they are forced to do what 49 states are required to do and what every family business and every family is required to do, and that’s live within their means.
478
One of my favorite things to do is sit around and listen to old records… You’re forced to listen to the whole thing. And it’s so cool digging through the bins trying to find them. I get giddy about records.
479
I realized that I wanted a Rhodes Scholarship, not because I wanted to go to graduate school but because I wanted to win a famous award. Quitting forced me to realize I was on the wrong track and that I had lost touch with who I was and what I cared about.
480
When I was a kid, my dad kind of forced me to sing the third harmony for our little family group, and I just kind of hated it. I just felt so uncomfortable on stage, too shy.
481
I love Nicole Holofcener and Lynn Shelton, both for the same reasons: their films are funny without being forced, intimate and real while also being hugely entertaining.
482
483
484
Why isn’t the movie industry forced to open its shooting locations to an organization that is there to advocate for animal actors? The industry isn’t allowed to pick and choose which movies using young children it will or won’t allow to be monitored. The vulnerable should be protected.
485
I have nothing but sympathy for the people who are forced to work with me. I’m better now at picking out those that want to play that game with me, and those that don’t.
486
I don’t like cooking and don’t cook until I am forced to. Then I expect everyone around to appreciate what I dish out.
487
A playwright who limits himself – or is limited – to a handful of characters is forced to concentrate on the essentials of the situation that he has chosen to portray.
488
489
490
I always wanted to do a light-hearted entertainer, and ‘Bruce Lee’ is such a film. The brother-sister sentiment and the relationship between father and son will be very good. The comedy will be hilarious, but it is not a forced comedy.
491
As women, and as people, we’re often forced to choose between pop culture and tearing down celebrities or a show about politics.
492
The real truth is that the Obama administration is professional at bullying, as we have witnessed with ACORN at work during the presidential campaign. It seems to me they are sending down their bullies to create fist fights among average American citizens who don’t want a government-run health care plan forced upon them.
493
I think the fundamental thing about writing fiction is that you write what interests you and what inspires you. It can’t be forced. I see no need to write about anything else or any other type of world.
494
Jail was a result of me not taking time for myself. So I was forced to take some time for myself.
495
496
If I am ever forced to choose between my identity as a Tamilian and an award from the central government, I will choose the former.
497
I spend a fair bit of time in Los Angeles, and there is much I love about the place – the weather, the food, the beaches and the golf. And a few things I don’t. Like the way an enormous number of mentally ill people seem to be forced to live on the streets with little or nothing in the way of government assistance.
498
There’s a lot of concern that London is changing and artists are being forced to move to new areas.
499
500
501
Defining marriage is a power that should be left to the states. Moreover, no state should be forced to recognize a marriage that is not within its own laws, Constitution, and legal precedents.
502
There’s kind of a gift in being gay because, if you come out, you’re forced to express yourself.
503
The only thing about kissing anyone on screen is that forced intimacy is never pleasant. If you don’t want to be kissing someone, it’s hard to get over that barrier, and so there’s a reluctance to be that close to someone.
504
As a kid who grew up in Montana, I resent regulation being formulated and forced in Washington from bureaucrats that have never been to Montana.
505
Producing has empowered me as an artist in a specific way. It’s forced a certain kind of maturity.
506
We’re showing a situation that these kids are caught in and being forced to do but the violence is not glorified. Most of the kids in there are not wanting to be doing it.
507
Religion was used as an ideology, as a system of control. When they forced the veil upon women, they were using it as an instrument of control in the same way that in Mao’s China people were wearing Mao jackets and women were not supposed to wear any makeup.
508
509
Growing up, movies were something my family and, later, my friends and I would stay up all night talking about. The movies I remember moved me and forced you to think about things that made you know yourself better.
510
For many people, the age of 20 is when they first reach adulthood, and it’s a time full of ideals and dreams. But when I was 20, a lot of misfortune came along. I spent a year in the hospital and couldn’t move, and I was forced to think a lot.
511
Art can do the opposite of glamourise the unattainable: it can show us anew the genuine merit of life as we’re forced to lead it. It is advertising for the things we really need.
512
I wanted to be heard myself, which is hard in a household of people who were very showy. It forced me to find myself and define a personality and a way of being different, and that’s a thing that’s going to help me to survive in a world of many people playing the guitar.
513
514
I was being groomed to be a tennis player for sure. My grandparents and parents realised I had a natural athletic ability and if I was forced to do it, I could probably do well. But all I wanted was to play pretend.
515

Allowing casinos to operate without having races could result in the end of dog racing in Florida as we know it. Right now, greyhound racing is in many cases a money-losing proposition, but the dog tracks are forced to continue it because they have to have races in order to operate the lucrative casinos.

I don’t really like to just sit down at a computer and write, because that tends to be a little forced.
522

525
I try to stay away from forced intimacy.
526

My dad actually was a wonderful person, and also happened to be a hunter and fisherman. And my brothers and I never would eat meat our whole lives. We just wouldn’t eat it. We would refuse it.

531

‘Feminist comedy,’ practically an oxymoron, had a couple of good years after WWII.

The World Health Organisation has a lot of its medical experts sitting in Geneva while hospitals in Africa have no drugs and desperate patients are forced to seek medication on the black market.
540
I’m interested in people who find themselves in places, either of their choosing or not, and who are forced to decide how best to live there. That feeling of both citizenship and exile, of always being an expatriate – with all the attendant problems and complications and delight.
541
No author ever drew a character consistent to human nature, but he was forced to ascribe to it many inconsistencies.
542
There was so much on ‘Superstar‘ that we didn’t intend. I mean, there were things that we did which were innovative, but some of them were forced on us because we couldn’t get anybody to do the show. ‘Evita’ was much more sophisticated. That doesn’t make it better, but it does make it different. We knew what we were doing.

I like a naturalism to my dialogue and my comedy. I would rather have a few jokes sail by that might be more subtle than have every single joke hit hard. I would rather the comedy come out of character as opposed to feeling forced. Even if you’re giving some laughs up for it.
553
A country, people, and society are in a sorry state when the guardians of its democratic values and the rule of law are the officers of the armed forces who are forced to stand up to the mob and the politicians who incite it and kowtow to it.
554
Architecture adds dimensions to my life that would be impossible to acquire if I retired. The beautiful thing about architecture is that every project is brand new. I am forced to renew myself with every project. Isn’t that wonderful?
