I’ve been thinking a lot about space. It was one of those slow-motion realisations how little we are, how far we are from everything else in our solar system.

48
49

54
55

78

I’m moving on. I should have made that clear when I made the announcement. I guess I wasn’t clear. If people think you’re leaving a show after all these years, you might be retiring.

134
135

Sure, the first light snowfall may be a chance to dance giddily, leaving squeaky footprints through the neighborhood, marking the runner‘s right to the domain.

164
165

236

When I was a congressman, I had occasion to talk to this group of students who were taking their seat.

The rest were thinking of leaving.
253
Leaving America means renouncing your citizenship, moving out of the country and leaving family and friends behind.

254
255
I didn’t read a book until I was 31 years old when I was diagnosed with dyslexia. Books terrified me. They made me nervous.

256
After leaving ‘Grey‘s,’ I left ‘Grey’s’ – like, let it go.

274

Although this should not be so, historians reconsider presidencies based on how the presidents conduct themselves after leaving office.
278

280
I went from being very popular and the head of the clique in the sixth grade to having, like, kid depression in the seventh grade. Not leaving the house. Not looking people in the eye… My body made me feel bad at everything.

So far, most of the steps in my career have been really good.

301
Leaving a legacy beyond just playing football has become extremely important to me.
302

306
A lot of girls annoy me who go to university – one girl told me she was going to Oxford because it was something to do between leaving school and getting married. And I’ve got to pay for that being an income tax payer.
307
As we begin to leave Afghanistan, are we fooling ourselves about what we are leaving behind or what we have promised the people of Afghanistan? Especially the women and girls?

311
I’ve had tough times before. Leaving Brazil when I was so young, saying goodbye to my family and friends to go to another culture, that was so difficult.

314

316
The majority of immigrants are in search of a better life for their families or are seeking safety by leaving violent and corrupt countries.
317
The first year at Juilliard is, I think, the best. And partly why I left – I only went one year. Partly why I felt okay leaving is that the most important elements, I believe, happen in the first year. What they do is they tear down all your conceptions of acting, and they take away all your tricks that you’ve learned.
318
319
320
Leaving a lot of movie sets, I’ve gone home and said, ‘How come my hands are clean?’ I should finish something and go home with dirt in my fingernails, because then you really feel that you’ve done something.
321
When you are thinking about going away for a long duration mission, it has to be part of your mindset that you’re leaving your family, but it’s for the right reasons, for good reasons, and hopefully helping humanity.

323
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
324
Virginia, like most states, has few guidelines about how closely parents are expected to supervise their children. As a result, I was charged not with leaving my son in the car, but with the misdemeanor of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
325
The glib, facile, simplistic, and prefabricated language by which we as consumers are constantly surrounded is a language that flatters us, that urges us to indulge ourselves, to get away from it all, to be unique by opting in, talking back, liking us on Facebook, leaving a review, sharing, retweeting, etc.
326
We went down for pilot season, I got Full House, and we wound up never leaving.

329
330
331
I went to Carnegie Mellon for a year and a month or two, and then I dropped out because I got a movie. I didn’t anticipate ever leaving school – I was a really serious drama student – and then that happened, and my life sort of took a turn.
332

338
Leaving Australia was the hardest thing I have ever done.
339

341
342
343

344

345
346
I’m a teenager, but I’m independent – I have my own apartment, I have my own life. And I think I have learned more than any of those teenagers have in school. I learned to be responsible, leaving my family and coming here alone.
347
Sometimes, it takes leaving to gain some perspective. I see that clearly every time I leave Washington, D.C., and return to Indiana. I see the bizarre bubble that seems to enclose the Beltway and makes people forget what regular people care about.
348
349
350
Life has always treated me well. I therefore won’t mind leaving it behind.
351
352

353
I don’t do well with my children leaving the nest.
354

355
356
As a working-class actor, leaving school with no qualifications, being a printer and then becoming an actor and then working with people who to a certain extent had had a leg up. I never had that advantage. It’s less an artistic need to express myself and more a need to prove myself.
357
I am the most conservative person you will ever come across, and that’s because I’m good at reducing risks while leaving the potential rewards high.
358
359
I’m not in the business of telling people what to do. I’m much more in the business of describing things, situations and stuff like that and leaving them out there, and you can make up your minds about them.
360
361
After a tumultuous 20-year marriage, my father up and left one day, leaving my mother to raise three boys without the means to do so. And yet somehow she did. At the age of 50, she enrolled in nursing school and became a nurse and worked countless overtime hours and weekend shifts just to give us a fighting chance.
362
When I go skiing in New England, I usually wake up early and drive up to Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine to make it in time for chairlift opening. That means leaving early and getting breakfast at one of the little quaint diners up in the mountains.
363
364
365

366

367
368
Sure I’m leaving the Bee Gees. I’m going into films.
369

370
371
372
373
Leaving the E.U. would mean the ‘Guernseyfication’ of the U.K., which would then be a little country on the world scale. It would isolate itself and become a trading post and arbitration place at Europe’s border.
374
When our vices leave us, we like to imagine it is we who are leaving them.
375
People end up on the street for many different reasons – leaving care or hospital, problems with debt, unemployment, mental health, family breakup – and so the help they need is varied, too.
376
Ronaldo leaving would seem to have ended the competition between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo because people rarely mention one without mentioning the other. A lot of people are interested – me, too – to see how it will affect Real Madrid’s football and what they might do in the transfer market.
377
378
Leaving Tottenham was not by best choice but, apart from that, there haven‘t been too many regrets in my career.
379
I was only ever briefly angry with my dad for leaving us. It happened shortly after his death, when things were at their darkest and the grief in me was raw and at its worst.
380
It is important to feel the anger without judging it, without attempting to find meaning in it. It may take many forms: anger at the health-care system, at life, at your loved one for leaving. Life is unfair. Death is unfair. Anger is a natural reaction to the unfairness of loss.
381
The popularity of leaders like Mandela was an invitation to counter-attack by the government. Mandela was banned from speaking, from attending gatherings, from leaving Johannesburg, from belonging to any organization.
382
383
384
All changes are more or less tinged with melancholy, for what we are leaving behind is part of ourselves.
385
Magneto has a whole lot of complexity to him. Emotionally, he’s coming from a very damaged place. I like the ambivalence of it. I want the audience leaving the theater wondering, asking the questions themselves rather than being spoon-fed like a lot of these super-villain characters.
386
Lately, I’m spending more and more time working with non-rock musicians and leaving the mainstream – almost dissolving into another world, musically.
387
It was always the cliche of men leaving their wives for younger women. The playing field is sort of even now. Women make their own salaries. They can do the exact same thing and can have a younger man.
388
389
390
I care about my legacy that I’m leaving, not only for my fans, but for my wife and my children and my grandchildren. I want them to look back and say, ‘He did it right and he stood up for what is right.’
391

394
395

399
With a smartphone in tow and a playlist humming, a runner may miss the crunch of leaves underfoot, the enthusiastic cheers of benevolent strangers, or even her own breath. And, for many runners, leaving the mobile device at home is the most liberating part of the sport.
400
I would never have got involved in something that just meant turning up at eight and leaving at five.
401
When I was 14, I used to have a calendar on my wall, crossing the days off until I was 15, because the school leaving age was 15. Then three months before I turned 15 they changed the leaving age to 16.
402
403
Far too many government spending programs have gone years, even decades, without being reauthorized, leaving the American people less able to effectively review, rethink, and possibly eliminate government programs.
404
I didn’t abandon everything at a moment’s notice – on the contrary. I returned to France from America, leaving the ‘Large Glass’ unfinished.
405
I suppose the first big shift in my life was when, at the age of 8, my father left my mother, leaving her alone with two daughters to bring up. That taught me the importance of women being financially independent. You never know what might happen.
406
Getting up to dance to your own stuff looks pretty pretentious. And leaving the dancefloor when it comes on is just awkward.
407
What I do and where I come from, the kind of music that I’m making, it’s definitely U.K. If I turned around and did a tune with Timbaland, it would be amazing, but it would be me kind of leaving where I’m coming from.
408
409
When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.
410

411
412
413
It was a precondition to leaving Facebook that I wasn’t going to start something that was just about chasing money.
414
The world view of the underdog socialist is encapsulated in the notion that the establishment has mastered the game of reason, judgment and statistics, leaving the left with emotion. Its heart is in the right place.
415
I think part of being an adult is leaving the fairytale behind.
416
417
My own view is that being a vegetarian or vegan is not an end in itself, but a means towards reducing both human and animal suffering and leaving a habitable planet to future generations.
418
I use an e-reader when I’m traveling: I love carrying dozens of books on a small lightweight device, and I’m still amazed every time I purchase and immediately start reading a new title without leaving my hotel room – in another country!
419
420
Whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.
421
422
The politics of partisanship and the resulting inaction and excuses have paralyzed decision-making, primarily at the federal level, and the big issues of the day are not being addressed, leaving our future in jeopardy.
423
Everything you want in life has a price connected to it. There’s a price to pay if you want to make things better, a price to pay just for leaving things as they are, a price for everything.
424
425
For me, a fragrance is another way of leaving an impression on somebody.
426
427

429
Thanks be to God. Since my leaving the drinking of wine, I do find myself much better, and do mind my business better, and do spend less money, and less time lost in idle company.
430

431

432
I never considered leaving Real Madrid or that it was a mistake to come here.
433
From Software believes all the things we have learned in the past titles can be best reflected in the future only by starting work on a new franchise or series. That’s the philosophy behind us trying to make a decision about leaving the ‘Dark Souls‘ franchise.
434
435
436
I learned everything I know from leaving the E Street Band. And of course, one of the things I learned is, I never should have left.
437
Becoming a monk was a hard decision. Leaving being a monk was harder, but it’s given me so much faith in my ability to transition, and that what I learned as a monk can still serve me.
438
Well I think after leaving prison, and having written three diaries about life in prison, it became a sort of a new challenge to write another novel, to write a new novel.
439
I grew up in a Texas where people would say, ‘I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party left me.’ Now, the reverse is happening. People are leaving the Republican Party because the Republican Party is going too far to the right in Texas. And that’s a source of great potential support for Democrats.
440
It’s a funny thing: people often ask how I discipline myself to write. I can’t begin to understand the question. For me, the discipline is turning off the computer and leaving my desk to do something else.
441
Somehow, people get very nervous about leaving the comfortable life of rules behind and never take the chance to develop their own internal voice, to listen to their own consciousness.
442
The way I play, it’s very much more a mental game than a physical game. I’m looking for space and where are players leaving space. Defensively, where are we at numerical disadvantages? Do I shift more to the left because they have more players on their right side? It’s about reading the game before the game happens.
443
Leaving aside handguns and hunting weapons, what’s the justification for possessing an AR-15-style weapon?
444
445
When I first thought about leaving the traditional route of a 9-to-5 career to pursue full-time YouTube, it was terrifying – not many people were doing it. The thought was I have to have money saved up, because this very likely might fail. From the start, I had to give it my all for it to work.
446
Leaving Iraq without military assistance during its transition, and before it is stable enough to ensure its own citizens’ security, would pose a tremendous risk. We must complete our mission.
447
With most of the songs and music that I’ve composed, irrespective of the myriad videos made, I was always careful not to overly define the experience, leaving room for people to internalize things for themselves, making their experience more integral.
448
Leaving my house and getting on to a red carpet is always crazy for me, because you have to find a way to be comfortable in the most uncomfortable situation imaginable.
449
Leaving Interscope was not a personal thing. These record companies are a certain kind of machine, and we weren’t able to function in it.
450
A person who has not done one half his day’s work by ten o clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.
451
I’ve had to work so hard in my career to get to this point, from leaving City and going to the Championship to work my way back up. I believed I could do it, and I’m grateful to Burnley and Tottenham for letting me do it in the Premier League.
452
453
454
455
456
457
If you live your life thinking about your legacy or what you’re going to leave, you don’t worry than you add another concern. Just live your life every single day, do the best you can and that’s more of my motto than leaving a legacy.
458
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
459
The government must be open enough to provide robust impact assessments of leaving the single market or the customs union, including region-by-region and sector-by-sector analysis.
460
I’m so thankful to Fox News for the chance to be on ‘Outnumbered,’ but I’m leaving to focus on other things. I have no doubt the show will continue to do well and wish all my friends and colleagues at the network nothing but success.
