We’ve collected the best Hardly Quotes from the greatest minds of the world: Anupama Parameswaran, Claudio Bravo, Tim Griffin, Isa Guha, Dana Brunetti. Use them as an inspiration.

We can’t be paying pensions to the next generation of federal workers when hardly anyone in the private sector gets them.

I hardly ever go to the movies.

Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.

My diminished girth, in tailor phraseology, was hardly conceivable even by my own friends, or my respected medical adviser, until I put on my former clothing, over what I now wear, which is a thoroughly convincing proof of the remarkable change.
14
15
Periods of inactivity, I don’t know such things. I’m consistently writing. My life is busy. It always is. There are hardly any moments for self-indulgent laziness.
16
The U.S. – the idea that the U.S. has introduced and imposed principles of international law, that’s hardly even a joke. The United States has even gone so far as to veto Security Council resolutions calling on all states to observe international law. That was in the 1980s under Reagan.
17
Ideologically, there are no major differences between the two Pauls, and there are stylistic similarities too; like his dad, Rand hardly minds being the lone ‘no’ vote in a sea of ‘yes‘ votes. But unlike his dad, Rand seems to pick his spots with at least one eye on the bigger picture of politics.
18
There is hardly a place in New York that you can’t walk a block and a half and get a cup of coffee. Believe me, I’ve been all over the world. There’s no place like that but New York City.
19
Oprah‘s aspiration to inspire her audience with hope – elaborated on her TV show, in her magazine, and on her website – is hardly ignoble.
20
I couldn’t bear it if anyone knew I had hardly any self-confidence at all.
21
22
My father taught me Basic and rudimentary C, I learned everything else on my own, including studying computational complexity on my own. That’s more a function of my age than anything else though – back when I was in school there were hardly any programming classes.
23
24
I’m hardly a saint.

If the experimental physicist has already done a great deal of work in this field, nevertheless the theoretical physicist has still hardly begun to evaluate the experimental material which may lead him to conclusions about the structure of the atom.
33
34
35
36
The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.
37
38
39
My father, an entrepreneur but hardly a technologist, was looking to buy a computer to ‘automate’ our family business. In 1981, he characteristically dove head first into computing and bought an Osborne I.

44
I am probably not alone in sensing above me the huge corporations and monstrous banks, science, politics and technologies, spy satellites and stock markets, military systems and massive wealth – forces and dynamics I don’t understand or can hardly imagine.
45
46
47
48
A presidential candidate changing churches is hardly unusual. Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and Rand Paul have all aligned themselves with different faiths throughout their lives.
49
Her pupils were at once her salvation and her despair. They gave her the means of supporting life, but they made life hardly worth supporting.
50
51
52
Seattle was hardly a tech magnet before Amazon, Microsoft, and then a host of once-fledgling technology firms set up operations there.
53
54
55
56
Under Lenin, hardly less than under Stalin, historians harbored critical opinions at their peril. The writing, let alone the publication, of political diaries was virtually impossible.
57
58
59
60
My early years were hardly a model of focus, discipline, and direction. No one who met me as a teenager could have imagined my going into research and making important discoveries. No one could have predicted the arc of my career.
61
62
63
64
As an MP, I could hardly meet my constituents‘ genuine needs as the funds at an MP’s disposal are meagre.
65
Punjab history is hardly taught to students in schools.
66
67
68
There is hardly any coordination between the Centre‘s Make In India and Start-Up India schemes and demonetization.
69
The picture surface recedes just as much in the 20th century as it did in the 15th. The techniques of making pictures have hardly changed.
70
When I first came to Nashville, people hardly gave country music any respect. We lived in old cars and dirty hotels, and we ate when we could.
71
Hardly any of my most memorable meals have been eaten in a restaurant, and definitely none in one of those fancy marble-floored, polished-silver establishments.
72
73
I’m very near-sighted and can hardly see without my glasses.
74
It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail.
75
76
77
78
Give us a break! I’ve hardly done anything but independent films.
79
I appear only in the first half of ‘Vunnadi Okate Zindagi,’ and in ‘A Aa’ I hardly appear in two to three scenes as Nagavalli.
80
81
Sir Hugh Greene is the man I hold most responsible for the state of our country today. For 11 years hardly a week went by without a sniping reference to me. And he gave access to anyone who was prepared to say anything morally subversive.
82
83
84
85
86
People who hardly ever cook at all, suddenly at the holidays, feel like it’s their responsibility to not only cook dinner for large groups of people suddenly, but to serve things that are fussy or fancy or formal. And I don’t think that’s what anybody really wants, especially if you’re not good at it.
87
88
My dad is my best friend, not just my dad. We hardly ever bump heads, but when we do, we just work it out.
89
Sometimes I like practicing, sometimes I don’t. But I like the result… I hardly ever get discouraged. Maybe right when it’s very hard to get something done correctly, but then the idea flashes through of how to fix it. And I get encouraged. And other ideas flow.
90
91
92
I hardly can sleep. I feel that my target now is really to save Mother Earth for humanity. And it’s doable.
93
94
95
I love my house and stay back home when I get time off shoots. I hardly party. I am not 19 anymore.
96
97
There’s hardly a single show that doesn’t have a Canadian on it.
98
When I was growing up, my family was plagued by poverty. My mother, a single parent, worked around the clock to make sure her children – me, my five brothers, and three sisters – could eat and have a safe place to sleep. We hardly saw her.
99
You can only realize change if you live simply. Once people want enormous excess, you can hardly do social change.
100
101
102
103
On the day-long follows that I used to do with mothers and their offspring – these chimp families that I knew so well – there was hardly a day when I didn’t learn something new about them.
104
105
106
107
108
109
110
111
I’d hardly seen any movies when I was 19 and left drama school.
112
One hardly knows where, in the history of science, to look for an important movement that had its effective start in so pure and simple an accident as that which led to the building of the great Washington telescope, and went on to the discovery of the satellites of Mars.
113
114
115
116
117
118
Manned spaceflight has lost its glamour – understandably so, because it hardly seems inspiring, 40 years after Apollo, for astronauts merely to circle the Earth in the space shuttle and the International Space Station.
119
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
120
121
122
123
When I write a book, I write very cleanly from page one to the last page. I hardly ever write out of sequence.
124
I was working all the time I was in college. I was working so much that I could hardly do my college work.
125
I’m no longer religious, but the Bible fascinates me. Hardly anyone reads it anymore, but it’s got everything: it’s a book of poetry, it’s a book of principle, it’s a book of stories, and of myths and of epic tales, a book of histories and a book of fictions, of riddles, fables, parables and allegories.
126
127
128
129
130
131
132
I hardly look at myself in the mirror… I’ll only wear makeup if I need to cover something up. But I’ve recently started caring about my skin. I just turned 60 and was like, ‘OK, maybe it’s time to start thinking about it.’ Before that, I would just splash water on my face, put cream on, and then leave.
133
When we got married – almost 10 years ago now – we made a commitment to really be together, which means we hardly ever spend a night apart. And being madly in love is important, but I think it’s equally important to be in deep like! I like this guy… we talk about everything, and we laugh a lot. Life is good!
134
135
136
I could hardly believe that she really existed, that she wasn’t a dream. There was something miraculous about Dorothy Stratten.
137
God breathes through us so completely… so gently we hardly feel it… yet, it is our everything.
138
139
I’m hardly physically right for the hero parts, now am I?
140
I always had two or three jobs at the same time. I started doing yard work when I was 7 or 8. When I was 13, I got my first state job doing road construction. Between working, sports and school, I hardly ever had free time.
141
The most depressing part of the 2016 election is that the candidates often failed to show any cultural leadership: any recognition that the world of public policy was important but hardly the only good and necessary part of our shared society.
142
143
144
145
146
147
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
148
149
150
151
152
Students come away with a clear message about how admissions works: If you have money, connections or ‘insider‘ knowledge, you have a leg up. It’s hardly surprising that many students of modest or lower means decide it’s not even worth playing.
153
154
Business, you know, may bring you money, but friendship hardly ever does.
155
156
157
I haven’t read hardly any Westerns, to tell you the truth.
158
Our nature hardly allows us to have enough of anything without having too much.
159
160
To philosophize is only another way of being afraid and leads hardly anywhere but to cowardly make-believe.
161
It’s hardly even noticeable that so many artists, designers and architects live here. It isn’t reflected in the cityscape or in the museums. Many of the artists, for example, exhibit around the world, just not in Berlin.
162
Innovation and disruption are the hallmarks of the technology world, and hardly a moment passes when we are not thinking, doing, or talking about these topics.
163
164
165
166
167
The proposal that men and women should be treated equally under the law is hardly a controversial concept.
168
169
My first time being inside the Performance Center was for the WWE Tough Enough tryouts, and although I knew hardly anything about sports-entertainment, I knew I wanted to be a part of this place.
170
I was so emotional. Choked up. I could hardly talk all day. I’ll be cleaning out my trailer and saying goodbye soon, realizing what a wonderful experience this has been.
171
172
173
Men find it difficult because I’ve got so much energy and hardly sleep at night, only four or five hours. I wake up in the early hours and potter around.
174
175
176
The exact meaning of irony is so narrow that the word is hardly worth using; in its broad, current definition, it’s a euphemism for sarcasm. ‘I’m not being sarcastic; I’m being ironic.’ No, you’re not. You’re evading the responsibility for being sarcastic.
177
178
I have travelled enough internationally to know and accept the reality that, overwhelmingly, people are well disposed to Australia but in truth know very little about it. In particular, people know hardly anything about Australian politics.
179
180
181
182
The Browning love story? It is an ideal, all too rare, and yet I hardly think it strange. It would have been far stranger had the fates allowed those two brilliant passionate souls to beat themselves out in silence.
183
Cleveland‘s a great place when you’re a kid. You hardly ever get sunburned, without the sun shining.
184
185
Obama ran on a platform of unmitigated optimism – a promise to usher in a brighter day for America. But there could hardly be a greater contrast between his pledge and his performance in office, between his commitment to the nation and his current abandonment of all hope.
186
From the very first, my countrymen have followed my literary career, now criticizing, now praising my work, but hardly ever letting a single word be buried in indifference.
187
188
I’ve hardly taken a photograph since 1967.
189
I was a very special child. I did stand-up comedy. I did it all. My family didn’t understand. ‘Aren’t you tired?’ I’m like, ‘No.’ I’m like an insomniac, I hardly sleep, I’m always on the move.
190
When Margaret Thatcher was leader, she and Michael Heseltine were hardly soulmates, but she would not have allowed personal rivalry to take the heat off the Labour Party, whose own deep internal divisions are buried in other news now, nor would she have countenanced any attempt to have a show trial.
191
A major focus of ‘Reality Hunger‘ is appropriation and plagiarism and what these terms mean. I can hardly treat the topic deeply without engaging in it. That would be like writing a book about lying and not being permitted to lie in it.
192
193
The consequences of President Johnson‘s campaign of deliberate deception regarding Vietnam could hardly have been more catastrophic for the nation, the military, the president, his party, and the presidency itself.
194
195
The Malays can hardly be said to have an indigenous literature, for it is almost entirely derived from Persia, Siam, Arabia, and Java. Arabic is their sacred language.
196
People will meet me and say, ‘You’re not really a Tory.’ And I’ll say I’ve been a Tory all my life – my politics have hardly changed. It is about making a society that is just and kinder to people.
197
I remember being in China and realising how irrelevant not even Britain is, but also Europe. We’re just another remote country that hardly impinges on some places at all.
198
199
200
I can hardly understand the Australian accent.
201
It seems everything is so full of possibilities one can hardly take it all in.
202
203
204
There hardly can be a greater difference between any two men, than there too often is, between the same man, a lover and a husband.
205
206
207
208
One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.
209
210
One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.
211
212
213
214
215
216
I have hardly any friends who aren’t gay.
217
You can hardly be a classicist and not be interested in theatre.
218
219
On the one hand, life is made infinitely easy for the personality in that stimulations, interests, uses of time and consciousness are offered to it from all sides. They carry the person as if in a stream, and one needs hardly to swim for oneself.
220
221
222
We are so accustomed to think of religion as a thing between individual men and God that we can hardly enter into the idea of a religion in which a whole nation in its national organisation appears as the religious unit.
223
I am not saying that the Renaissance in any way was a feminist movement – hardly. But the arts flourished, and in more social settings as opposed to being confined to the church.
224
Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.
225
Once you’ve made peace with the fact that you’re hardly ever going to work on anything that you’re actually good at, the only thing that you can do is get good very fast on everything you have to do.
226
Whether I’m in a sari or a mini skirt hardly matters as long as the role I do in a film is substantial and makes a difference.
227
I wanted to make a film about stupid people that was very vulgar and deeply stupid. From that moment on I can hardly be reproached for making a film that is about stupid people.
228
229
I just want to preach so bad I can hardly stand it. I love what I do.
230
231
Companies are not charitable enterprises: They hire workers to make profits. In the United States, this logic still works. In Europe, it hardly does.
232
233
234
If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It’s really only to be heard when everyone’s out enjoying it.
235
I was born in America but all of my friends’ parents, everybody‘s parents, including my own, had come to America from Europe. Many people in my neighborhood hardly bothered to learn English.
236
I hardly ever watch the news… I love reading newspapers, but I know they’re dying out.
237
Great innovators like Thomas Alva Edison, Henry Ford, and Andrew Carnegie didn’t rely on government. There was hardly any of it in those days. More recently, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Larry Ellison used genius to put brand-new ideas into production.
238
I don’t watch football debate shows on TV, hardly listen to the radio or read the papers.
239
I have kids. I can’t hardly watch an afternoon football game with them without having to turn off the TV during the commercials. It’s too much. I don’t know when violence was deemed such a cinematic thing.
240
241
I hardly use cuss words.
242
243
Machiavelli’s teaching would hardly have stood the test of Parliamentary government, for public discussion demands at least the profession of good faith.
244
I can hardly find the words to describe the peace I felt when I was acting. My dysfunctional self could actually plug in to another self, not my own, and it felt so good.
245
246
247
When I was 16 I had a table at home in Melbourne and I hardly ever practised.
248
249
When you’re the president, there’s tremendous respect, and everybody goes out of their way respecting you and honoring you… it can be a trap. Nobody says ‘Boo’ to you, and nobody tells you you’re wrong, hardly, if you have the wrong people around you.
250
As to happiness in this life it is hardly compatible with that diminished respect which ever attends the relinquishing of labour.
251
252
253
254
I’ll tell you what I love doing more than anything: trying to pack myself in a small suitcase. I can hardly contain myself.
255
I’ve seen past fighters who don’t seem all there anymore, can hardly walk around or look like the Tin Man, they’ve just been through the wringer.
256
257
Gun violence has cost us too many political leaders, and hardly ever the worst ones.
258
I’m a terrible grocery shopper. I hardly ever do it. And if I do, there’s never more than three things in the bag.
259
260
261
262
263
264
One of the bad things about being a filmmaker, about being me, is I can hardly read a book anymore because every time I read something, I have a poaching mentality, like, ‘Oh, can this be a movie?’
265
266
267
I am very fortunate. I am a glass-half-full eternal optimist type to the point of being a moron. But I would never presume to know how hard it goes for others. How, for some people, just getting though the day is an incredible effort that can hardly be borne.
268
It’s hardly a radical idea to suggest that regulators and legislators understand the law now, is it?
269
War in Africa is hardly a new phenomenon, nor are voices telling its stories of terror and triumph. Yet some of the continent‘s most devastating conflicts – and the literature born from the experiences of their survivors – have often gone unnoticed in the West.
270
271
I’ve had some unbelievable successes, and I’ve also learned painful lessons through failures so low I can hardly stand to think of them.
272
Later on, there were some problems with our navy, so he made me the head of the navy – all things that I hardly knew anything about. I was basically an ignorant young man.
273
274
I hardly watch commercial films but I have nothing against them.
275
276
French schools follow a national curriculum that includes arduous surveys of French philosophy and literature. Frenchmen then spend the rest of their lives quoting Proust to one another, with hardly anyone else catching the references.
277
I think President Obama is clearly, you know, a Republican. I know, because in the 1990s I was a Republican, and he’s way to the right of me, and I’ve hardly changed any positions.
278
279
I grew up years ago doing something that unfortunately doesn’t hardly exist any more, a medium called Radio.
280
In ‘House of Boys,’ I wanted to be in drag. It was amazing to be in the middle of all these drag queens. They did my makeup. I hardly recognized myself! That was very funny.
281
According to me, when a filmmaker is writing a role, a certain actor comes to his mind. Now whether that actor resides in Mumbai or in the Malabar is hardly of any consequence.
282
283
284
He who does not mind his belly, will hardly mind anything else.
285
A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.
286
The best reason why Monarchy is a strong government is, that it is an intelligible government. The mass of mankind understand it, and they hardly anywhere in the world understand any other.
287
288
I do not want to be 36 years old and can hardly walk.
289
290
291
I came here as a practical man, to talk, not simply on the question of peace and war, but to treat another question which is of hardly less importance – the enormous and burdensome standing armaments which it is the practice of modern Governments to sustain in time of peace.
292
The most important thing about a candidate is not their promises – those hardly ever get delivered anyway. It’s about how they would respond to unpredictable future events. And that’s about their character.
293
I hardly ever write when I’m just feeling great.
294
295
296
I can hardly find the words to describe the peace I felt when I was acting. My dysfunctional self could actually plug in to another self, not my own, and it felt so good. It was the first time that I existed inside a fully-functioning self – one that I controlled, that I steered, that I gave life to.
297
Technology changes all the time; human nature, hardly ever.
298
Broadway‘s a lot of work, don’t get me wrong. It’s eight shows a week. You hardly ever see the sunset. I remember when I left, I was like, ‘Oh! The sun’s setting! I haven’t seen that in a year!’ Singing eight shows a week is hard.
299
‘The Man Who Loved Children,’ Christina Stead’s masterpiece, remains the most fabulous book that hardly anyone I know has read.
300
For an author to write as he speaks is just as reprehensible as the opposite fault, to speak as he writes; for this gives a pedantic effect to what he says, and at the same time makes him hardly intelligible.
301
302
303
It’s hardly a secret that I’m skeptical of declarations that the aliens are out and about on our planet. Still, I try to answer every one of these mails and phone calls because, after all, it’s not a violation of physics to travel from one star system to another.
304
I hardly said a word to my wife until I said ‘yes’ to divorce.
305
306
307
Once, I had so many scripts coming to me that I could hardly read them all.
308
Thomas Muller deserves enormous respect. He’s hardly ever injured and has always been with the national team, where other players might have said they are tired, need a break or were injured. He has busted his butt for the national team.
309
It’s American Alternative radio stations that bug me. We’re considered Alternative, but don’t expect us to be played next to Blink 182 and Offspring. We’re hardly of that generation.
310
Intellectual development was paramount to my father, of course, but he was hardly a geek. He was a man who happened to be of a certain Southern culture and a certain age, and his talents and tastes had been molded accordingly.
311
312
I guess the thing I would say most fervently is that your original impulse to write something is an impulse you should trust, and that if it doesn’t work on the first draft, which it hardly ever does, the commitment to revising ought to be something you embrace really early. And to revise and revise and revise.
313
314
315
316
317
When nobody read, dyslexia wasn’t a problem. When most people had to hunt, a minor genetic variation in your ability to focus attention was hardly a problem, and may even have been an advantage. When most people have to make it through high school, the same variation can become a genuinely life-altering disease.
318
319
A lot of people have been very dismissive of me. I’m hardly the darling of the NME. It used to get me down a bit, but you reach a point where you can laugh it off.
320
The priesthood is a marriage. People often start by falling in love, and they go on for years without realizing that love must change into some other love which is so unlike it that it can hardly be recognized as love at all.
321
322
For me Louisiana was mostly family when I was there. We hardly left; there was no need to… We hardly left the front porch. You would just sit, and folks would come by, and it was really old school in that way.
323
The ongoing argument over whether the Enlightenment is a good thing is hardly a new facet of American political life.
324
325
In war, there is hardly a more horrifying example of the head-long plunge into reckless militarism than what Hillary Clinton led the way on in Libya.
326
327
328
While the FAST Act is a significant bipartisan accomplishment that provides much-needed funding certainty, this modest increase in funding is hardly the bold, forward-thinking plan our country needs to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and create a 21st-century transportation system.
329
330
I get a lot of free time between films, but I don’t know why I hardly dance.
331
332
333
I think my recognizability ebbs and flows. I don’t lead a particularly celebrity lifestyle or anything like that. I don’t go to showbiz parties or red-carpet events, so it all depends on whether I’ve got a film out. I’ve not been very visible in the last year or so and as a result hardly anyone stops me in the street.
334
Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you’ll hardly have time to think about food.
335
Hardly can it be judged whether it be better for mankind to believe that the gods have regard of us, or that they have none, considering that some men have no respect and reverence for the gods, and others so much that their superstition is a shame to them.
336
In my own home, where I’ve been able to create an environment that works for me, I’m hardly disabled at all. I still have an impairment, and there are obviously some very restrictive things about that, but the impact of disability is less.
337
It was a very stupid thing to do, I’ll admit, but I hardly didn’t even know I was doing it.
338
339
Coming from a conservative family from Mangalore, I had hardly watched any movies or television during my student days.
340
I hardly had any coaching until I joined Birmingham where I had Dave Watson for five years. He’s one of the best and I knew how important that was for me.
341
342
343
344
To be in love with Debo Devonshire is hardly a distinction.
345
There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet which fails so regularly, as love.
346
347
348
349
When you work with somebody you have chemistry with, it’s easy and it’s fun. You hardly call it work.
350
There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.
351
352
353
354
Governments that try to shoot for a surplus hardly ever reach it.
355
Even around my family, I hardly spoke. I was very reserved.
356
357
358
Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage is hardly as consequential as Johnson’s legislative success on civil rights.
359
The essence of science is independent thinking, hard work, and not equipment. When I got my Nobel Prize, I had spent hardly 200 rupees on my equipment.
360
361
362
The corridor is hardly ever found in small houses, apart from the verandah, which also serves as a corridor.
363
I don’t watch any television, hardly ever because I’m so busy. I always obviously watch my shows because I blog about it and talk about it, but no, I can watch the news in the morning and that’s it.
364
365
366
367
368
369
You can hardly turn around and not see something that was done in Photoshop.
370
371
372
373
Well, the first thing is that truth and power for me form an antithesis, an antagonism, which will hardly ever be resolved. I can define in fact, can simplify the history of human society, the evolution of human society, as a contest between power and freedom.
374
I come from a generation where I did not have any knowledge about racism, trolling or degrading someone because we hardly used to do it to other people.
375
It’s hardly surprising that the corporate aliens lie when it comes to the relationship between doing something about climate change and the economy.
376
377
I haven’t had a single thought for 26 years. I have only understanding. It’s somewhat complicated to understand that. I’ve hardly ever spoken about it. You’re in a state of total peace of mind. A kind of nirvana.
378
379
The Internet has meant that advertising has migrated; there are hardly any classifieds in newspapers any more because they’re all online. If people have a car to sell, for example, they sell it online; they don’t go to the newspaper.
380
Audiences hardly recognize me from picture to picture.
381
When I see Kate Moss out and about, I think she looks more beautiful than when her hairdresser and make-up artist try and make her look like something else. And I remember when Madonna first asked Versace to book me to shoot a campaign with her, she came to see me wearing hardly any make-up, and she looked incredible.
382
There is hardly a facet of an Indian citizen that has not been touched by ISRO’s technology.
383
The kind of content I want to be part of is hardly made.
384
385
The Republican Party has become overwhelmingly so extreme that it’s hardly a traditional political party anymore.
386
I haven’t always been into fitness. But I noticed that when I’d be on stage playing a show, I could hardly make it through the fifth song without having to take a breather.
387
388
In our modern world of interdependent nations, hardly any state can wage war successfully without raising loans and buying war materials of every kind in the markets of other nations.
389
Electronic distribution is more of a fall-back strategy for putting out a book that isn’t deemed profitable enough to print. You hardly make any money publishing an electronic book.
390
391
I’m the worst critic about music myself. I hardly ever, ever like something the first time I listen to it.
392
Algeria does not court tourism. It doesn’t need to. It has vast crude-oil resources, equal to Libya’s. Its infrastructure does not accommodate tourists, and there is precious little visitor information – hardly any in English.
393
394
I do not buy CDs any more; I usually stream Internet radio. For movies, I hardly every buy any DVDS. I have a DVR, so just record things off HBO, Showtime and so on.
395
396
I’m all self-taught. I never had a teacher. Even for English, and French, and German, I hardly went to school.
397
398
New York City is home to so many people from so many places and the uniqueness of it is that you never feel a foreigner. English is almost hardly ever heard in the subway. In fact, it’s weird.
399
400
I work from mornings to late nights, even on weekends and holidays. I hardly have any free time, let alone time to play other games.
401
I think that I was the first MP to call for the nationalisation of Northern Rock, although that is hardly surprising because I have been calling for the nationalisation of the financial sector for 30 years or more.
402
403
I was born in 1970. I was hardly goose-stepping down Nuremberg.
404
405
406
407
408
Most of my best games were when I felt crap – I could hardly move on the morning of the World Cup semi-final in 1990 – but there’s a thing called adrenaline that gets you through.
409
410
Prior to 2001, hardly any company in North America or Europe would buy from India.
411
412
413
If we divine a discrepancy between a man’s words and his character, the whole impression of him becomes broken and painful; he revolts the imagination by his lack of unity, and even the good in him is hardly accepted.
414
Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.
415
416
Some directors hardly talk to the actors at all.
417
418
My first book, ‘The Age of Wire and String,’ came out in 1995, and it was hardly reviewed at all.
419
I’m not in the movie business anymore, and hardly any 70 year olds are. I always ask the producers: ‘Are there no 70-year old vampires?’ Apparently there are not – or even zombies for that matter. I guess they all get eaten.
420
421
A slight daily unconscious luxury is hardly ever wanting to the dwellers in civilization; like the gentle air of a genial climate, it is a perpetual minute enjoyment.
422
423
424
I still don’t like doing interviews. I hardly do any… I hope this will be the last one for a long while.
425
I’m not sure what I think about current fashion, though. A few years ago, I would have said it’s really, really bad and you hardly ever see anybody looking good. There must be some very good designers in the world.
426
Hardly nobody gets to live two genders in their life.
427
428
429
I’m not a big drinking person and hardly ever have alcohol. Perhaps it’s not sweet enough for my sweet tooth.
430
431
Moreover, the practical recommendations deduced from ecological principles threaten the vested interests of commerce; it is hardly surprising that the financial and political power created by these investments should be used sometimes to suppress environmental impact studies.
432
433
434
Scientists tend to be unappreciated in the world at large, but you can hardly overstate the importance of the work they do.
