Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.

Sometimes evil is in the form of a malignant clown, and sometimes evil is in the form of policy and legislators, and sometimes it’s a grinning death mask and it has something more viscerally terrifying about it.
13
14
Having patience is one of the hardest things about being human. We want to do it now, and we don’t want to wait. Sometimes we miss out on our blessing when we rush things and do it on our own time.

18
Sometimes to do the right thing, you have to break a law. And the key there is in terms of civil disobedience. You have to make sure that what you’re risking, what you’re bringing onto yourself, does not serve as a detriment to anyone else. It doesn’t hurt anybody else.

Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand.

‘Back To Love’ is a way of letting people know that sometimes you get caught up in trying to be successful in school or in your social life, and it’s a reminder not to forget that each day people are getting older. Nobody is promised tomorrow, so we should make sure that we spend quality time with quality people.
27
28
On the course, I sometimes eat a little sandwich or a slow-release energy bar – one on the front nine and one on the back nine. You’re out there five hours, so you have to keep eating. You’re going to burn at least 1,000 calories. I’ll try to take in about 400-600 calories during a round and drink water.

33
A healthy friendship is one where you share your true feelings without fearing the end of the relationship. It’s also one where you sometimes have to let things that bug you slide. The tough moments will make you wiser about yourself and each other. They will also make you stronger and closer as friends.
34
35
Sometimes you feel uncomfortable taking a photograph, but that’s all part of the job.
36
37
I think sometimes you have to imagine a fantasy world in which we are represented and visible the way we should be.
38
Sometimes it’s a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.
39
40
Truth is often a multiplicity of perspectives, and sometimes the more viewpoints and versions of events there are, the closer the reader gets to an overarching truth.
41
Sometimes, people aren’t as consciously aware of their decisions as they should be.
42
43
44
45
46
Sometimes I try to concentrate on the story I would like to write, and I realize that what interests me is something else entirely, or, rather, not anything precise but everything that does not fit in what I ought to write.
47

51
Every morning, we choose between milk or tea or coffee. Usually, I know what I like, but I don’t rule out changing my idea sometimes. The editing process is one of the most important parts in everyday life. The same is with my work: mistakes are part of the decision-making process.
52
53
54
I am the common man. I’m polite, I love my family and I play by the rules. And sometimes I get pushed around. That’s my lifestyle, and that’s what I try to bring to characters.
55
56
57

60
Confidence is key. Sometimes, you need to look like you’re confident even when you’re not.
61
62
Sometimes I wish that I was the weather, you’d bring me up in conversation forever. And when it rained, I’d be the talk of the day.
63
I believe in taking chances and living your life. Sometimes doors open and others close and you have to figure out which one you’re going to take. I’m always for the one that’s challenging.
64
Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing.
65
66
67
68
It’s sometimes better to have a father figure to rebel against than nothing, than just a black hole or an absence.
69
70
71
72
Sometimes, the aftermath is more devastating than the storm. That is the story of the 2008 financial crisis. It was disastrous at the time, but what has been worse is how long it has lingered.
73
74
Sometimes you win by losing.
75
Sometimes you have to make tough decisions to hold the line on spending.
76
I try to be cool with everybody, but sometimes, everybody just has different personalities, motives, and different characters.
77
78
79
If you’re going to wake up early all the time, and you’re working hard, and you’re working out, sometimes you’re going to get tired. It’s OK. It’s acceptable – somewhat. We’re all human, unfortunately.
80
81
82
It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.
83
84
85
86
87
88
If I’m going to be straightforward, like I always try to be, I know guys are going to come back at me sometimes.
89
90
91
92
93
Friendships naturally shift over life. We have different friends for different times in our lives, and sometimes it’s not the best idea to hang on to a friendship to try to make it work if it’s an unhealthy connection.
94
95
96
97
Sometimes, when I see my granddaughters make small discoveries of their own, I wish I were a child.
98
99
I think in terms of emotions. And feelings. So sometimes what I say may not always be clear. But creatively, there’s a lot to be said for that way of thinking.
100
101
When we look at our justice system, we have this image of a balancing scale: truth and justice, right and wrong. But for years, our system has been lopsided, where it’s not about truth and justice or balance. It’s about being tough on crime, and sometimes that means you’re putting the wrong person behind bars.
102
103
Sometimes it’s nice of someone to tell you what you smell like.
104
105
Sometimes a lot of us men think we are doing everything for the woman we love, but there is an aspect of a woman a man doesn’t understand.
106
You never think about what life’s going to be like five years down the road or 10 – you just go though the day and try to make good decisions. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t. You just hope this day will be a good day.
107
I like the level of fame that I have. You get nice tables in restaurants sometimes, but fame isn’t something that I find comfortable.
108
We need people who dream impossible things, who maybe fail, sometimes succeed, but in any case who have that ambition.
109
110
I am trying to find myself. Sometimes that’s not easy.
111
No one ever doubts that I mean what I say. The problem is I sometimes say all that I mean.
112
113
114
115
I really didn’t feel challenged anymore. I wanted to learn something and be excited again… While it can be a family – that environment is actually a family – in the sense that also you sometimes hate each other, you can’t stand being around each other and grudges are held… I was getting cranky on ‘Criminal Minds.’
116
Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.
117
These archetypal older women in movies can sometimes make my skin crawl. It’s about the one dimension; it’s about the lack of any texture.
118
Being beautiful isn’t everything… Sometimes it’s interesting to show how you feel on the inside on the outside, just through expressing yourself.
119
120
121
122
The law sometimes sleeps; it never dies.
123
124
125
Sometimes it’s hard to open up about your personal life, your relationship because you always want the music to be in the forefront. You want the music to be the biggest carrier of everything that you represent.
126
Saying nothing… sometimes says the most.
127
Men of lofty genius sometimes accomplish the most when they work least, for their minds are occupied with their ideas and the perfection of their conceptions, to which they afterwards give form.
128
129
130
131
Sometimes something’s got to happen before something is going to happen.
132
133
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
134
It’s football. Sometimes it’s unfair.
135
Beetles and butterflies are sometimes restricted to small areas. Each mountain in a range, and even the different zones of a mountain, may have its own peculiar species. But the house-fly seems to be everywhere. I wonder if any island in mid-ocean is flyless.
136
137
I don’t want to imitate life in movies; I want to represent it. And in that representation, you use the colors you feel, and sometimes they are fake colors. But always it’s to show one emotion.
138
139
Sometimes random things that you wouldn’t think mean anything mean so much to them. With kids, you can say, ‘Let’s go pick some flowers’ or ‘There’s a snail. Let’s investigate that.’
140
141
I read a lot of true-crime books, but sometimes they can put you in a bad mood.
142
The best things in life sometimes happen spontaneously.
143
144
145
146
I’m actually a very honest person, and sometimes I end up like, ‘Man, I said too much.’ It’s hard for me not to tell the truth when you ask me.
147
148
Sometimes, magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect.
149
150
Sometimes you have to go places with characters and emotions within yourself you don’t want to do, but you have a duty to the story and as a storyteller to do it.
151
152
153
The best of us must sometimes eat our words.
154
Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.
155
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
156
Injuries are part of the game, but sometimes we can avoid them by just practicing our techniques.
157
158
159
Look, sometimes, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you need a bit of luck.
160
161
162
163
Life is so fresh, life is every day so new if we are fighting, only for the best. Sometimes I think the only real satisfaction in life is failure, failure in your endeavor to do your best.
164
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
165
166
Sometimes you need to get hit in the head to realize that you’re in a fight.
167
168
169
I raised my kids kind of old-fashioned – if you don’t have something nice to say, then don’t say it at all. I teach love, acceptance, and tolerance… I sometimes think that this generation is lacking in decency.
170
171
Sometimes you just have to calm down a little bit and let the system work itself.
172
Sometimes things don’t go your way, but you get up and keep going.
173
174
I think sometimes the best training is to rest.
175
Sometimes, disaster can inspire ingenuity.
176
Sometimes it takes an injury to get your chance.
177
I got beat up sometimes in the girls’ bathroom.
178
179
Good times don’t last long sometimes.
180
I’m not saying that everyone should swim with sharks, but sometimes you have to jump over your own shadow in order to learn something that you will never forget for the rest of your life. Then you know you can conquer your fears.
181
182
183
Our understanding, great as it sometimes seems, can be nothing but the wide-eyed wonder of the child when measured against omniscience.
184
185
186
I tried out various experiments described in treatises on physics and chemistry, and the results were sometimes unexpected. At times, I would be encouraged by a little unhoped-for success; at others, I would be in the deepest despair because of accidents and failures resulting from my inexperience.
187
188
The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one’s people that has not previously been taken into account.
189
190
I feel like I play better when I’m calm. There is an inner peace I can tap into sometimes during my matches.
191
192
193
194
Not all journalists are really journalists. They ask such stupid questions sometimes, especially the newer ones, and because… these people can’t tell if you’re joking around, you just can’t have any sense of humour; you really can’t.
195
Culture is mix. Culture means a mix of things from other sources. And my town, Istanbul, was this kind of mix. Istanbul, in fact, and my work, is a testimony to the fact that East and West combine cultural gracefully, or sometimes in an anarchic way, came together, and that is what we should search for.
196
Brand is just a perception, and perception will match reality over time. Sometimes it will be ahead, other times it will be behind. But brand is simply a collective impression some have about a product.
197
198
An intelligence test sometimes shows a man how smart he would have been not to have taken it.
199
It’s good to shut up sometimes.
200
201
Pushing for excellence is a fight. You have to fight to hire the right employees, fight to get the supplies you need, to move line items around. Being a great manager means pushing to get those few extra inches every day. It’s almost like a football game – the team that wins sometimes wins by just inches.
202
203
204
205
Sometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know if its the way you say it, or how you look.
206
207
My liberty is about living. It’s about spreading more love. Even though I was always a peaceful, loving individual, my music sometimes didn’t reflect that. But now it’s different. My music is reflecting the way I feel.
208
Our Father which art in heaven – Stay there – And we will stay on earth – Which is sometimes so pretty.
209
210
Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.
211
Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.
212
I love having short hair – that means I can wear big earrings and even dresses sometimes without me feeling too feminine.
213
I used to wake up at 4 A.M. and start sneezing, sometimes for five hours. I tried to find out what sort of allergy I had but finally came to the conclusion that it must be an allergy to consciousness.
214
Sometimes I have this little girl in me who craves to do something mischievous.
215
216
We all have them, those parts of us that are the greatest parts of us and the worst parts of us. Sometimes we’re put in circumstances and bad choices are made.
217
218
219
220
221
222
Sometimes history takes things into its own hands.
223
224
I do have a childlike enthusiasm at times. I certainly enjoy life and get pleasure sometimes in childish things.
225
226
I hate letting my teammates down. I know I’m not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don’t feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.
227
228
Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes… just be an illusion.
229
Sometimes I feel like putting on a blazer with just a T-shirt.
230
231
232
233
234
The ability to recognize opportunities and move in new – and sometimes unexpected – directions will benefit you no matter your interests or aspirations. A liberal arts education is designed to equip students for just such flexibility and imagination.
235
Over time, the lines blur sometimes. A little of you comes into the character.
236
237
238
239
Sometimes it’s more about the journey than the destination.
240
Sometimes you’re trying your best and you still can’t find a solution, but I try not to waste my life living in a dark place.
241
There are times when you are growing through experiences, but sometimes there is a point of diminishing returns in terms of growth.
242
History isn’t something you look back at and say it was inevitable, it happens because people make decisions that are sometimes very impulsive and of the moment, but those moments are cumulative realities.
243
244
Sometimes you will think you can’t take it another day. But if you hang in there, one step at a time, you will be able to accomplish more than you ever imagine.
245
246
A Lawyer will do anything to win a case, sometimes he will even tell the truth.
247
248
Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.
249
A kite needs to be tied down in order to fly. I learned how important restrictions can sometimes be in order to experience freedom.
250
251
Just do what you do. Sometimes you do well, and sometimes you do wrong, but you have to just be able to deal with yourself and move forward.
252
When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. Sometimes it is those whose case is weak who make the most clamour.
253
254
I’m a believer in belief. Faith is something that works – it causes people to do things, it has results. It’s an intangible, indefinable, very real thing. And it moves people, sometimes to atrocity. And sometimes to survival.
255
256
Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.
257
258
Confidence is a funny thing, and sometimes that’s all you need is just that little bit to elevate you to the next level.
259
260
261
262
God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.
263
I’m a designer, and I work very hard at that. People sometimes want to put down fashion by saying it’s frivolous or superficial, but it’s not that way at all. It’s actually very hard work.
264
Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes.
265
266
267
Sometimes it’s all about the win, sometimes it’s about the skiing.
268
269
If you’re climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at a time. Don’t look too far up, set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don’t think you’re progressing until you step back and see how high you’ve really gone.
270
271
Sometimes, whether you like it or not, people elevate you. It’s real easy to fall.
272
273
274
Places are part of nature, of the bigger picture. We are interrelated. When we contemplate them in their own right, they can sometimes change our lives; they can become spiritual experiences.
275
I’m not a nightclub person, but you need to have a social life sometimes.
276
The negative side is that sometimes it is beyond control.
277
278
279
280
Sometimes the most beautiful thing is precisely the one that comes unexpectedly and unearned, hence something given truly as a present.
281
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.
282
You know sometimes in life it just takes one little push to get you over the hill and from there it can be a beautiful ride.
283
The obvious choice isn’t always the best choice, but sometimes, by golly, it is. I don’t stop looking as soon I find an obvious answer, but if I go on looking, and the obvious-seeming answer still seems obvious, I don’t feel guilty about keeping it.
284
285
Women want honesty but sometimes get upset if you are honest, so you need to know when to be honest.
286
Sometimes with pop music, you have to see it to love it. With soul music, it’s sparse. There’s nothing that’s pretentious or planned. It’s just so gutsy.
287
288
Sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
289
You need to be silly sometimes.
290
291
Sometimes I can think of so many ways of expressing myself that I feel I’m an old typewriter, and too many keys come forward at once – and I get jammed.
292
The more I draw and write, the more I realise that accidents are a necessary part of any creative act, much more so than logic or wisdom. Sometimes a mistake is the only way of arriving at an original concept, and the history of successful inventions is full of mishaps, serendipity and unintended results.
293
Remember, life itself is a mission. While we are on the go, we need to stop between steps to re-focus on the Word and the Will of God. While we are on the go, I mean, while we are on the mission, we need to sometimes stop at intervals to assess our progress and prepare ourselves for the challenges ahead.
294
295
I’m here to be the guy that rubs people the wrong way sometimes.
296
297
298
Sometimes I daydream about having a farm and a wife and some babies and watching the grass grow, but you have to meet the right person for that.
299
Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.
300
My basic approach to interviewing is to ask the basic questions that might even sound naive, or not intellectual. Sometimes when you ask the simple questions like ‘Who are you?’ or ‘What do you do?’ you learn the most.
301
Chilling out on the bed in your hotel room watching television, while wearing your own pajamas, is sometimes the best part of a vacation.
302
Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough.
303
304
Good luck happens to people who work hard for it. Sometimes people just fall into the honey pot, but I’ve consistently strived to create whatever good fortune I can get in my life – and consistently strive just as hard not to screw it up once I have it!
305
306
Wisdom comes from within. Knowledge is acquired and can sometimes put a screen on your wisdom.
307
308
Sometimes I think we’re alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we’re not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.
309
Sometimes I still worry that the next day will be the last day of the Earth.
310
Sometimes it takes dealing with a disability – the trauma, the relearning, the months of rehabilitation therapy – to uncover our true abilities and how we can put them to work for us in ways we may have never imagined.
311
I’m actually not a big coffee fan, so I don’t drink it that much. I’d rather have a green tea. But I do love to get a white mocha sometimes – it is just a strong order.
312
313
I always tell young people to hold on to their dreams. And sometimes you have to stand up for what you think is right even if you have to stand alone.
314
315
I prefer rogues to imbeciles, because they sometimes take a rest.
316
Sometimes God will deliver you from the fire, and other times God will make you fireproof.
317
I’m very open and honest, and I feel like it’s important for women to hear that we’re not perfect; none of us are perfect. And sometimes we aspire to have these ideas in our heads of what perfection is, and I probably would’ve been better off if I’d left myself alone.
318
319
I don’t go to celebrity parties a lot. I don’t really enjoy them because I really like going for it in parties. And sometimes at celebrity parties, there is no dancing on tables because people… it can be a little judgmental at times. So I tend not to go unless it is Taylor Swift’s birthday party; then it’s amazing.
320
You’ve got to make tough decisions, sometimes unpopular decisions… Whatever it is, if it’s the right move at the right time, you’ve got to be also willing to make mistakes.
321
322
323
Sometimes good comes through adversity. I would not be who I am today had it not been for the internment, and I like who I am.
324
Biology sometimes reveals its fundamental principles through what may seem at first to be arcane and bizarre.
325
326
I have a very good life, so I have nothing to complain about. Sometimes, I just have existential angst.
327
328
Do your job. Do it the best you can. Do it right, because somebody, sometimes your best friend, is waiting for you to screw up so she can take your place.
329
Nepotism sometimes can be a lose-lose situation.
330
Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us.
331
Sometimes in life, you’re not always given a second chance, but if you do, take advantage of it, and go out with a bang!
332
333
334
335
Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you’re unlucky. It all weighs out at the end. That is my experience at least.
336
337
Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound.
338
But behavior in the human being is sometimes a defense, a way of concealing motives and thoughts, as language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.
339
340
341
Whenever I go out, so many people who respect me ask me what to do in a certain situation. A lot of times, I didn’t know the answers because sometimes I was going through the same sort of thing. But then later on, I would think of things that people told me.
342
343
Winning and losing isn’t everything; sometimes, the journey is just as important as the outcome.
344
345
I think that because human difference for so long, in all its various forms, has been the root of so much oppression, sometimes there’s the impulse to say let’s deny the difference, as though by wishing away the difference we can then wish away the oppression.
346
Exhibitions are kind of ephemeral moments, sometimes magic moments, and when they’re gone, they’re gone.
347
Sometimes opportunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it.
348
349
I tend to learn from mistakes that I’ve made. Even though it sucks to make bad choices, sometimes it’s good to fail.
350
351
What I can’t tell with a photo I will tell with a painting, and what I can’t tell with a painting I will tell with a video or text sometimes, et cetera.
352
353
Sometimes I’m really funny, sometimes I’m quiet, sometimes I’m shy, but I’m constantly changing.
354
Sometimes words are not needed, and the simplicity of expressing yourself through an art form is one of the best ways of communication.
355
I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
356
The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.
357
We can never be afraid to stand up for what is right, no matter what others may say. And sometimes, if that means taking a lonely road, if what we are standing for is true, then perhaps moonlight or sunshine will light our way and make it less lonely.
358
Freedom does not come without a price. We may sometimes take for granted the many liberties we enjoy in America, but they have all been earned through the ultimate sacrifice paid by so many of the members of our armed forces.
359
The Champions League is so difficult, It’s like a lottery: sometimes you’re just unlucky.
360
Sometimes you have to accept you can’t win all the time.
361
Sometimes I feel an obligation to be accessible as a personality, but for me the driving force since the beginning has always been good work, taking risks, trying new things. If the door opens, go through it. Always go forwards.
362
The Devil, can sometimes do a very gentlemanly thing.
363
364
The truth is sometimes a hard pill to swallow. It sometimes causes us difficulties at home and abroad. It is sometimes used by our enemies in attempts to hurt us. But the American people are entitled to it, nonetheless.
365
The mind ought sometimes to be diverted that it may return to better thinking.
366
367
368
One sometimes finds what one is not looking for.

370
Don’t focus on the negativity. Focus on the positivity and the people that want you to do well; then, do it for them and for yourself. Sometimes I do things for myself. Sometimes I do things for my family. Sometimes I do things for my friends.
371
Sometimes I’m sexy, and sometimes I’m not.
372
373
Sometimes you realize that life isn’t defined by the good times.
374
375
Architecture and building is about how you get around the obstacles that are presented to you. That sometimes determines how successful you’ll be: How good are you at going around obstacles?
376
377
I love the sensation of being out in the open air, far away from all the distractions of modern life. I will usually disappear for a couple of hours, and that time on my bike is quite sacred, as it’s when I do all my serious thinking. Sometimes I will stop off at bikers’ cafe and have a bacon sandwich.
378
I work out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday; take Thursday off; then I work out Friday and Saturday. So sometimes I’ll eat whatever I want on Thursday, like a big breakfast of pancakes and bacon and eggs and stuff. You can eat a big, hearty breakfast because you’re going to burn off most of it during the day anyway.
379
You have to be sincere in your feelings. And fear is one of those, sometimes; doubt is one of those; jealousy, anger – all your emotions are not going to be considered the strong emotions; all of them are not going to be love, happiness, joy.
380
Sometimes I am happy and sometimes not. I am, after all, a human being, you know. And I am glad that we are sometimes happy and sometimes not. You get your wisdom working by having different emotions.
381
I’m not everybody’s cup of tea. But sometimes criticism can be hurtful. Be respectful. I’m a good piano player, I can sing well, I write good songs. If you don’t like it, fair enough. But give me a break.
382
Working hard and working smart sometimes can be two different things.
383
384
Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects.
385
Only in dreams, in poetry, in play do we sometimes arrive at what we were before we were this thing that, who knows, we are.
386
The strictest law sometimes becomes the severest injustice.
387
The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don’t have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.
388
389
Sometimes, only one person is missing, and the whole world seems depopulated.
390
391
Sometimes I can only groan, and suffer, and pour out my despair at the piano!
392
393
Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things, I am tempted to think there are no little things.
394
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just to stay human.
395
If you are bowling well and not getting wickets, it’s not a big issue. Sometimes I am economical, but not getting enough wickets. But if I am not bowling well and not getting wickets, then it’s a disturbing thing.
396
Sometimes I was sad, sometimes happy. Just on and off. Always I felt welcome. It’s just, you know, sometimes as a human being, you cannot always be happy. You do good things, you do bad things, people talk.
397
Just because Pluto or comets aren’t as big as Jupiter doesn’t mean they are not scientifically important – indeed, just the reverse is often true. Sometimes, great things come in small packages.
398
Sometimes it’s important to get out of that comfort zone and, I think, try new things, and sometimes you can express yourself better.
399
Exploring how you could make a bad situation worse can sometimes tell you what not to do.
400
Sometimes it’s really weird being an artist, and I deal with that best by being myself.
401
402
403
404
I eat steak primarily. That’s pretty much what my diet consists of. Sometimes I supplement that with other steaks.
405
A successful competition for me is always going out there and putting 100 percent into whatever I’m doing. It’s not always winning. People, I think, mistake that it’s just winning. Sometimes it could be, but for me, it’s hitting the best sets I can, gaining confidence, and having a good time and having fun.
406
It may not necessarily reflect my current frame of mind. Sometimes I have to put myself at the point in time of the voice that I’m trying to sing with.
407
408
Sometimes, idealistic people are put off the whole business of networking as something tainted by flattery and the pursuit of selfish advantage. But virtue in obscurity is rewarded only in Heaven. To succeed in this world you have to be known to people.
409
If I hold back, I’m no good. I’m no good. I’d rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.
410
411
412
I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given, is our society. Your education, and your mother and father, they tell you this is how it is, but then you hit adolescence and you think, ‘Is it? Why? Why is it like that?’ Sometimes that questioning leads to something more.
413
414
The blush is beautiful, but it is sometimes convenient.
415
Sometimes, I myself, even though I’m in Washington, I go quiet because there is so much intimidation around me.
416
For a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.
417
I always tell people, ‘It’ll get greater later’ meaning that sometimes we have to pass through whatever it is. We know that we can get through it because others have.
418
Sometimes – history needs a push.
419
420
Sometimes what’s right isn’t as important as what’s profitable.
421
Sometimes, I feel I am really blessed to be blind because I probably would not last a minute if I were able to see things.
422
423
424
Life can be tough sometimes. But I think it just starts with admitting, ‘Okay, the world’s not perfect, how do we live our lives within that and not be miserable?’
425
If we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that sometimes our assumptions and preconceived notions are wrong, and therefore, our interpretation of events is incorrect. This causes us to overreact, to take things personally, or to judge people unfairly.
426
427
Sometimes it’s the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
428
Questions are never indiscreet, answers sometimes are.
429
430
Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.
431
‘Presence of God’ is really that understanding that sometimes when you step out of your own shoes and just open your ears and listen to what’s going on around you, you get answers to the questions you were asking.
432
Sometimes your disappointments make you a stronger person for the future.
433
434
Sometimes people like the bad boy.
435
Sometimes I can’t think of a better way to end my day than coming home and just strumming my ukulele for a few minutes. I mean, I joke around and tell people that it’s an entire yoga session in one strum, you know?
436
437
438
The spirituality that I experience sometimes touches on religion, in that I resonate with the thread of continuity that permeates through all religions. But in terms of it being a concretized, organized part of my life, it’s not.
439
My favorite drink is water – the bland one: Evian. I stick with that. I celebrate in the evening sometimes with Perrier. That’s why I love coming to California. They’re always talking to you about bottled water.
440
441
Sometimes, the hardest things are just the simple things. Basically, get out of your own head and just go play the game you know how to play.
442
443
I’m as patient a father as I am on the tennis court. It takes a lot for me to get really upset, but sometimes kids can get you really cross if they really keep bugging you.
444
I’ve got to be sensible sometimes.
445
Sometimes when you’re drunk you can see better.
446
447
I have a need to make these sorts of connections literal sometimes, and a vehicle often helps to do that. I have a relationship to car culture. It isn’t really about loving cars. It’s sort of about needing them.
448
449
A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a ton of explanation.
450
Sometimes you have to take a half step back to take two forward.
451
Real life happens. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it doesn’t work.
452
Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.
453
454
455
Seeds of faith are always within us; sometimes it takes a crisis to nourish and encourage their growth.
456
Explorations into chemistry were done in our basement, sometimes with friends, and my parents must have had quite a bit of confidence in my abilities when they allowed me to experiment with explosive mixtures.
457
There’s no one else I would rather have as my manager than my mom because I know that she has our best interests at heart. Sometimes, it’s hard to separate manager mode from mom mode. I think as our manager, my mom will get more emotional about situations than she would if she was just our manager.
458
I think I’m both lucky but also unlucky, because sometimes I miss so many matches.
459
460
Sometimes in life, you have to make a selfish decision and do what’s best for you.
461
Friendship always benefits; love sometimes injures.
462
Sometimes, you follow your dreams. I say to the young people, ‘If you have a dream, chase it.’
463
464
I can’t remember my dreams more than a couple of seconds after I wake up. It’s frustrating because sometimes I dream that I’m watching a really good movie.
465
The truth is, I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let men sometimes fool themselves.
466
I’ve discovered if you have a small circle of people you know you can rely on – in good times, bad times, happy times, sad times – who aren’t going to judge you and will, sometimes, just sit and listen to you without saying anything, then I think you’re very fortunate.
467
468
Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths.
469
To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact.
470
471
Sometimes you have to be selfish to be selfless.
472
Sometimes you have to do what you don’t like to get to where you want to be.
473
474
Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go – purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything… whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.
475
476
Everybody has to write out of rage sometimes.
477
478
479
Anything can make me stop and look and wonder, and sometimes learn.
480
Sometimes I wake up before dawn, and I love sitting up in the middle of the bed with all the lights off, pitch-black dark, and talking to the Father, with no interruptions and nothing that reminds me that there’s anything in life but me and Him.
481
I do things I love doing. Sometimes that is maybe going out to have a drink with friends, going out partying or whatever.
482
I do really long DJ sets – I play for five or six hours sometimes – but the live shows are a bit more compact. The arch of how to tell a story, where the energy is, where you have peaks and drops, where things go up and things come down, that’s all being informed by DJ-ing.
483
484
Everyone’s the hero in their own story. You’ve lived your life. You’re the good guy of your life, the protagonist of your own movie. Everyone knows that they have more in them to offer than they sometimes show.
485
486
I’m very unpredictable. Very, very impulsive. Extremely. Absolutely! Sometimes I don’t know what I want to do from one day to the next. I can’t enjoy anything premeditated; I just do it as I feel it. But whatever I do is motivated by honesty.
487
488
I mean, if you didn’t get it or if you didn’t feel like you enjoyed it, sometimes that experience can change.
489
Desperation is sometimes as powerful an inspirer as genius.
490
491
It sometimes feels like a strange movie, you know, it’s all so weird that sometimes I wonder if it is really happening.
492
493
Sometimes you gotta just chill. You gotta chill your thinking process.
494
495
Sometimes democracy must be bathed in blood.
496
Sometimes you have to take a risk if you want great things to happen.
497
Sometimes when you get disappointment it makes you stronger.
498
499
Sometimes it takes a natural disaster to reveal a social disaster.
500
501
And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.
502
It’s not that I’m stupid. I just don’t think sometimes.
503
I am sometimes sad when I hear the personal stories of Tibetan refugees who have been tortured or beaten. Some irritation, some anger comes. But it never lasts long. I always try to think at a deeper level, to find ways to console.
504
Sometimes, what you’re looking for is already there.
505
I can only say that sometimes skin colour does make a difference.
506
There are sometimes easier games and others harder, but the Champions League always requires enormous concentration.
507
Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.
508
Those disputing, contradicting, and confuting people are generally unfortunate in their affairs. They get victory, sometimes, but they never get good will, which would be of more use to them.
509
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.
510
Sometimes you don’t know who you can and cannot trust. I still learn that over and over again.
511
I don’t see the world completely in black and white. Sometimes I do.
512
513
Sometimes, indeed, there is such a discrepancy between the genius and his human qualities that one has to ask oneself whether a little less talent might not have been better.
514
Sometimes, it’s just easier to say yes to that extra snack or dessert, because frankly, it is exhausting to keep saying no. It’s exhausting to plead with our kids to eat just one more bite of vegetables.
515
I’ve learnt that over the years, sometimes I was caring so much about how other people felt, I wasn’t standing up for myself and I wasn’t caring about how I felt even when people were straight up bullying me online.
516
Remember, man does not live on bread alone: sometimes he needs a little buttering up.
517
518
You gotta pick yourself up. Sometimes you just gotta do it over and over, but you gotta do it. You can’t give up. I wouldn’t give up. I didn’t give up – or doubt myself – in becoming a successful musician with a successful band.
519
520
521
It is often useful, if an enemy happens to see you, to pretend that you have not seen him. Or it may sometimes be useful to pretend that you have other men with you. I did this once in the Boer War when, having crept up a donga to look at a Boer fort, I was seen by the enemy, and they came out to capture me.
522
Although I love this kind of comedy, sometimes I feel trapped by always having to be the most outrageous guy in the room. In particular, I’m working on trying not to be that guy in my private life.
523
524
And sometimes you can make your point better with comedy than you can through shouting about it.
525
Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better.
526
Sometimes all you need is a big leap of faith.
527
Some of our important choices have a time line. If we delay a decision, the opportunity is gone forever. Sometimes our doubts keep us from making a choice that involves change. Thus an opportunity may be missed.
528
I see the world through my eyes. It’s sometimes a strange world.
529
Sometimes I wish that I could go into a time machine right now and just look at my self and say, ‘Calm down. Things are gonna be fine. Things are gonna be all great. Just relax.’
530
I will get out there and train harder than anyone, five times a day sometimes. You have to be a special person to do that – like, special forces, military maybe.
531
532
Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else’s life forever.
533
The billable hours is a classic case of restricted autonomy. I mean, you’re working on – I mean, sometimes on these six-minute increments. So you’re not focused on doing a good job. You’re focused on hitting your numbers. It’s one reason why lawyers typically are so unhappy. And I want a world of happy lawyers.
534
Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers.
535
People change with time. There are things that happened to a person in his childhood and years later they seem to him alien and strange. I am trying to decipher that child. Sometimes he is a stranger to me. When you think about when you were 14, don’t you feel a certain alienation?
536
Sometimes the best way to learn something is by doing it wrong and looking at what you did.
537
Take those chances and you can achieve greatness, whereas if you go conservative, you’ll never know. I truly believe what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Even if you fail, learning and moving on is sometimes the best thing.
538
Sometimes it was tough doing take after take upside down! I did a lot of that sort of thing.
539
Sometimes I sit down and I think ‘Do I regret this? Do I regret that?’ And I feel like everything makes this snowball effect, you know? If you regret something, it’s good because it just means that it’s something that’s affected you enough for you to stop and think… There’s a reason that everything happens.
540
Gender is not an easy conversation to have. It makes people uncomfortable, sometimes even irritable. Both men and women are resistant to talk about gender or are quick to dismiss the problems of gender. Because thinking of changing the status quo is always uncomfortable.
541
I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.
542
The printing press is either the greatest blessing or the greatest curse of modern times, sometimes one forgets which it is.
543
It’s not the tools that you have faith in – tools are just tools. They work, or they don’t work. It’s people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I’m still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.
544
Sometimes getting something off your chest to someone else is an important step in coping – so you know that you’re not alone, you’re not failing, and that it is perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed or sad at times. Everybody does.
545
I still feel awkward taking a selfie sometimes; it feels a little weird.
546
547
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, sometimes you are unlucky, but that’s life.
548
549
550
The chain of wedlock is so heavy that it takes two to carry it – and sometimes three.
551
The human body has two ends on it: one to create with and one to sit on. Sometimes people get their ends reversed. When this happens they need a kick in the seat of the pants.
552
Sometimes we fall in love with the idea of a person and have trouble seeing the real thing.
553
The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
554
Life is a hideous thing, and from the background behind what we know of it peer daemoniacal hints of truth which make it sometimes a thousandfold more hideous.
555
556
557
558
It depends on whom I’m with. Sometimes I start out in my own voice, and no matter who I’m with, I take on their thing.
559
I love life. I think it’s fantastic. Sometimes it deals hard things, and when it deals great things, you have to seize them.
560
Wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
561
562
When I was growing up, my mum was doing illegal smuggling with China. Sometimes she would see a fortune teller for advice. One time I went with her: ‘In your future, you’ll be living in foreign country and eating the foreign country rice,’ she said.
563
‘Tis healthy to be sick sometimes.
564
565
Sometimes I wish I could clone myself, you know, be in two places at once.
566
567
Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.
568
569
It’s funny, sometimes life just comes down to bringing a little bit of light to somebody when you can.
570
571
Sometimes you are so busy you forget to appreciate what you have.
572
Human beings are born solitary, but everywhere they are in chains – daisy chains – of interactivity. Social actions are makeshift forms, often courageous, sometimes ridiculous, always strange. And in a way, every social action is a negotiation, a compromise between ‘his,’ ‘her’ or ‘their’ wish and yours.
573
Sometimes I realize halfway through a story, I’m like, ‘Why would anyone care about this? It’s uninteresting.’
574
575
Girls are capable of doing everything men are capable of doing. Sometimes they have more imagination than men.
576
Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious.
577
Sometimes you just have to jump off the cliff without knowing where you will land.
578
It’s not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it. Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone.
579
580
Sometimes, you get tired of fighting. I think you just sort of come to this realization that yes, that you will get tired, but that doesn’t mean that you can give up the fight.
581
582
583
Sometimes the best thing we can ask for is change, and a fresh start forces us to confront change head-on.
584
I’m seeing the world partially through the eyes of a kid. Not all the time. There’s no black and white to it. But sometimes I’m seeing it like I’m 4.
585
Sometimes I get lonely, but it’s nice to be alone.
586
Sometimes the probabilities are very close to certainties, but they’re never really certainties.
587
Sometimes it’s the detours which turn out to be the fruitful ideas.
588
Sometimes the right thing gets done for the wrong reason and sometimes, unfortunately, the wrong thing gets done for the right reason.
589
590
591
I think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you’re really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops, you’re saying: ‘Hope I don’t get chased today.’ ‘Be nice to people in sneakers.’
592
Sometimes people try to read into my strip and find out what my state of mind is. And I can say if I’m in a good mood, generally the comic strip starts out in a good mood, but the punchline is very negative and sour.
593
I hate being forced to do things. I hate people telling me what to do, so I’ll do the complete opposite. It’s a bit self-destructive sometimes.
594
The embattled gates to equal rights indeed opened up for modern women, but I sometimes think to myself; that is not what I meant by freedom, it is only social progress.
595
I’m not angry, I’m not an angry person, but I do sometimes like playing with the perception of anger, as in pretending that I’m more angry than I actually am, and sometimes it works quite well.
596
597
Everything that happens is meant to be. It’s meant to happen like that. But sometimes you don’t know at the time that it’s meant to be disaster.
598
Sometimes life takes you on unexpected paths, and those paths aren’t always in the same direction.
599
I have practically no private life. I’m already used to this and ready for it. Yes, sometimes it is hard, but it is the choice I made.
600
I mean, sometimes… a comedian becomes an actor, and they just don’t deliver, because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny, and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful, and they get that mixed up sometimes, or don’t even notice that that’s the thing.
601
Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman giving all your love to just one man.
602
Sometimes when you turn a hobby into a job, it becomes work.
603
604
My style is definitely schizophrenic; it does change from day to day a lot. It depends on my mood: sometimes I’ll be going through a girly, childlike stage and wear a pretty lace dress with a bow in my hair. Then sometimes I’ll be moody and just wear black.
605
You know sometimes when you’re in a really bad mood and you’re not sure why? That’s how I get sometimes.
606
Sometimes I was in school plays, but only when the kid they’d originally picked got sick and they asked me to substitute.
607
608
609
Upon the subjects of which I have treated, I have spoken as I have thought. I may be wrong in regard to any or all of them; but, holding it a sound maxim that it is better only sometimes to be right than at all times to be wrong, so soon as I discover my opinions to be erroneous, I shall be ready to renounce them.
610
Don’t get caught up in the ‘look’ thing. Sometimes, we as men and women, the first thing that attracts us to someone is their physical appearance, and that’s not always a good thing because what’s good on the outside is not always good on the inside.
611
612
Sometimes you’re afraid to fall in love with a chick, but she sucks you in anyway.
613
I just like to look beautiful sometimes.
614
Sometimes I think we’re alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we’re not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.
615
In politics, as in poetry, it is sometimes true that it is darkest before dawn.
616
Sometimes you climb the mountain, and you fall and fail. Maybe there is a different path that will take you up. Sometimes a different mountain.
617
618
Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world.
619
Sometimes nature guards her secrets with the unbreakable grip of physical law. Sometimes the true nature of reality beckons from just beyond the horizon.
620
Sometimes bad things happen to good people. We don’t know the meaning of all things, but we know God loves His children! And because He loves us, He will never desert us.
621
It’s not about changing people; it’s sometimes about changing a situation. How can we build an even better situation for them?
622
Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.
623
624
625
Sometimes you almost have to laugh to keep from crying to deal with the pain associated with the ‘hood.
626
627
I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man’s work for less than a man’s pay.
628
Sometimes the most positive thing you can be in a boring society is absolutely negative.
629
We are all products of our experiences, good and bad. Sometimes you learn as much from the negative experiences as you do from the positive.
630
Sometimes when you are a great mom, you’re not so great at your job. And then when you’re good at your job, you’re not so great of a mom or a good wife. It’s a dance that never stops. But it’s beautiful.
631
632
Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking.
633
634
635
Sometimes it takes years to really grasp what has happened to your life.
636
From his roots as a slave, the American Negro – sometimes sorrowing, sometimes jubilant but always hopeful – has touched, illuminated, and influenced the most remote preserves of world civilisation. I and my dance theater celebrate this trembling beauty.
