There is an atmosphere about the picture theatre that speaks of entertainment and relaxation. The charming surroundings, good music, and the fact that each visitor is determined to enjoy a few hours of holiday all exert an influence on the mind.

To all the self-righteous defenders of ‘freedom of speech‘ who oh-so-ardently proclaimed that FARA registration places no restrictions whatsoever on RT’s journalistic work in the U.S.: Withdrawal of Congressional credentials speaks much louder than empty platitudes.

There’s a wider agenda that speaks to what the Democratic Party has historically stood for, which are economic rights for those who are struggling in the middle class, concern for the poor, for economic justice for those who are marginalized in our society.
16
Music is like a conversation. One person says one thing that speaks with a harmonica, with a bass, with a drum. They’re all conversating, and we’re just trying to find a way to make conversation rather than blah, blah, blah. But it’s not really so hard a thing to do if you know the way to approach it.

Lennon has an amazing ability to think before she speaks. She doesn’t have to constantly be talking. She just thinks, and when she speaks, it’s thoughtful. She’s very calm. I’m trying to learn that from her.
26
27
28
Black Trans Lives Matter, to me, is really different. I think it speaks most directly to the marginalization and disenfranchisement of trans people within the black community.
29
30
Dignified and respectful quietude speaks much louder than pomp and circumstance when it comes to remembering those who died.
31
32
33
34
I like someone who has a strong personality, who speaks boldly and makes people uncomfortable sometimes.
35
When one English person speaks, another one immediately classifies him. No class system in the world is so audible, which is also why it is so pernicious and enduring.
36
I listen to and I play all kinds of music, and I’m interested in jazz and in bluegrass – I like it all – but Cuban music speaks to me in a certain way.
37
When he to whom one speaks does not understand, and he who speaks himself does not understand, that is metaphysics.
38
39
Drew Brees, Kyle Orton, Curtis Painter – the recent legacy of quarterbacks at Purdue speaks for itself. I think it’s ‘Quarterback U.’ The facilities are just beautiful. I didn’t expect them to be as great as they were.

Playing the Beethoven symphonies, for example, is a consummate experience for a musician because Beethoven speaks so directly to who we are as people.
48
I think my reputation speaks for itself. But everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and I’m going to continue to play football – play physical football.
49
You have to find ways to relate to the characters you get to play. Put it in terms and in a context that speaks to you.
50
51
52
German accents and Hassidic accents aren’t that romantic. They’re more harsh. Although Hebrew, when spoken by certain people, sounds beautiful. There’s this beautiful woman I know who speaks Hebrew, and when she speaks, it’s so attractive. Maybe it’s who’s speaking it.
53
So, rap has that quality, for youth anyway; it’s a kind of blues element. It’s physical, almost gymnastic. It speaks to you organically. Rap grows out of what young people really are today, not only black youth, but white – everybody.
54
55
56
57
Nothing is more untoward than a grown man tasking another with snapping a pic expressly so he can ‘flex the ‘fit.’ It’s tacky -self-aggrandizing – and speaks to an existential neediness typically reserved for failed actresses and phenomenally successful rappers.
58
59
60
It only stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.
61
62
‘Faithfully‘ speaks to me. It’s about a guy who’s busy with his work, always on the road, but I’m still completely into you. If you just hold on, I’ll completely give myself to you. Just stick along for the ride.
63
64
65
66
Surrealism is my stamp. I have a post graduate diploma in theatre and I was introduced to this concept and it stuck by me because it speaks of the hypocritical nature of the reality. We are something more inside and I want to portray the pluralities in thought.

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.
74
75
I don’t have anything to prove because I’ve already validated myself and my work speaks for itself.
76
STREET by 50 is all about giving our fans the finest music experience we possibly can. The response to the limited edition colors so far speaks for itself – the fans want the opportunity to match their headphones to their personal style, and we definitely want to make sure to give them what they want.
77
78
I want a language that speaks the truth.
79
Unlike most politicians who speak only from their mind, Amar Singhji thinks and speaks both from his mind and heart.
80
My record speaks for itself.
81
82
83
Man does not speak because he thinks; he thinks because he speaks. Or rather, speaking is no different than thinking: to speak is to think.
84
85
86
87
The face of our sport is Dana White and out here in conservative New York, the way people think, bald-headed, tattoo‘d, swearing people are just not a good representative of our brand and unfortunately people think that Dana White speaks for MMA, and they’re confused.

91
Every player in every team speaks to each other in order to improve the quality on the pitch – that communication is necessary.
92

93
94

95
96

97
My congressional record speaks for itself, and my ability to build coalitions locally, nationally and across the aisles in Congress is transparent.
98
As a designer, you are not only a designer, you are also a celebrity, an entertainer, and a spokesperson that speaks on behalf of the company. So you need to realize that you have to embrace all those sides.
99
I could relate to Balu in the way he speaks, his mannerisms and how he cannot understand why such a big deal is being made when two people fall in love. It’s a fresh perspective of ‘Maro Charitra,’ something like what Anurag Kashyap did with Devdas in ‘Dev D.’
100
I think it speaks of all women having those few special things that make them feel feminine. And so when I was a little girl, I would associate Guerlain with that.
101
102
103
In accordance to the way that Benn speaks, he is not educated. Sure, he’s educated to a certain extent, but under different circumstances he would be a bouncer on some door in the West End and he’d have three kids from three different women… I am a superior person to that. I have finer points.
104
105
106
Here’s what I’ve learned about Hillary Clinton: She will be criticized when she speaks; she will be criticized when she doesn’t speak. And so I think she should speak her mind.
107
The annual ‘Forbes’ Billionaires List speaks volumes about the movement and concentration of wealth across industries and geographies.
108
109
I’m 27, and I have no idea what I am doing half the time. I am just trying the best I can, and I think that speaks to a lot of other women out there.
110
Imagine someone with $10 finding a classroom project that speaks to them personally, seeing where their money is going, and realizing that they don’t need to be a millionaire to make a difference.
111
I prefer to be a great team not only on paper but also on the pitch. The pitch is the truth. The pitch speaks.
112
113
‘Carrie Diaries‘ was one of the scripts that was sent my way, and it was instantly something I wanted to work on. It was very charming, and there’s a lot of heart to it. It was touching and nostalgic and relatable, and it validates so many coming-of-age issues in an open and honest way. I think it speaks to real life.
114
Herbert Hoover was a man of genuine, fine character, but he lacked practical political sense. And he couldn’t bend and shift and change with the requirements of the time. And he was a ruined President, because he was such a, I think, stiff-backed ideologue. And I think that speaks volumes about his character.
115
116
I feel like my work speaks for itself.
117
118
Music is something so mystical, so unexplainably a thing you cannot put in the rules or boundaries, you know? It speaks about our feelings about questions of life and death. It goes absolutely beyond any kind of rules.
119
My brand is a demography-breaker. It speaks to all homemakers and women from all walks of life and all across society.
120
121
It’s one thing to be writing in South or Latin America, where, except for Brazil, every country, however small and hard to find on a map, speaks Spanish, but quite another to be writing in, say, Hungary, a landlocked nation of 10 million people, with a language that very few people outside Hungary can read or speak.
122
I think when you see ‘Ridiculous Six,’ the show speaks for itself in terms of its treatment of American Indians.
123
Nobody speaks the truth when there is something they must have.
124
My mother’s music speaks to me as an oracle.
125
Rock is young music, it is youth oriented. It just speaks for a generation.
126
127
128
When you’re younger and you see something that really speaks to you, it’s indelible in a way that’s not the same as when you’re an adult. So I’ll always love reading books and making movies that resonate with young people.
129
130
131
132
Scientists in different disciplines don’t speak the same language. They publish in different journals. It’s like the United Nations: You come together, but no one speaks the same language, so you need some translators.
133
The government must adopt a rights-based approach that speaks to the needs and aspirations of surrogate mothers, children born out of surrogacy, and all individuals who want access to altruistic surrogacy services.
134
Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.

136

137

138
Money speaks sense in a language all nations understand.
139
I have a long-standing relationship with Autism Speaks. I’ve been supporting them for many, many years now.
140
141
You can be brilliant in some ways and despicable in others. You can be a clean, upright, moral individual in your private life who never swears, treats women with respect, and speaks highly of duty and honor – and go out every day and dedicate yourself to a cause that makes the world worse.
142
143
144
145
‘Yela’ represents hunger, life, light, fire, power. ‘Wolf‘ speaks to my fighting spirit. The soul I put in my music.
146
A bad man is the sort who weeps every time he speaks of a good woman.
147
148
149
Growing up, I always saw the hypocrisy of the Catholic church. The history speaks for itself, and I grew incredibly frustrated and angry. I essentially just put that into my words.
150
I think ‘I Spy,’ still when you look at it, speaks volumes in terms of propaganda for equality. It’s just magnificent.
151
152
153
154
155
You lose or you win the fight – and anything in life – in your mind. I can look at how the person walks, how he speaks, his expressions. It’s a wisdom. Eyes are the mirror of the soul. So you can read a lot.
156
157
I know that money speaks more loudly than need.
158
I would just like to say something to all the women out there. You’re not the only one that’s probably going through something, so I feel as though if one person speaks up, maybe it – hopefully – will be a domino effect.
159
160
We still need a voice that thinks before it speaks.
161
When your work speaks for itself, don’t interrupt.
162
It’s important for me who is at the table with me; the moment when everyone speaks to each other and everyone listens. If there’s good food, it’s much better.
163
Look, we have existed for 4,000 years – 2,000 years in diaspora, in exile. Nobody in the Middle East speaks their original language but Israel. When we started 64 years ago, we were 650,000 people. So, you know, we are maybe swimming a little bit against the stream, but we continue to swim.
164
I appreciate actors who work very hard to get at the truth of the character they’re playing. That speaks to me, and I try to protect that process because I value the focus and intention behind it.
165
More than any other art form I know of in America, country music speaks of the true relationship between the American male and the American female… Terrible and impossible.
166
One thing that sticks in my mind is that jazz means freedom and openness. It’s a music that, although it developed out of the African American experience, speaks more about the human experience than the experience of a particular people.
167
Writing and producing television very much speaks to the extroverted part of my personality. I love collaboration, the joint effort of hundreds of people working together to create something. But the other part of who I am is extremely introverted. I love being alone and dreaming up ideas and writing novels.
168
169
Race affects everything that I do, and everything that I create speaks to intersectionality.
170
171
LeBron is a role model in that sense. Because for him to be as good as he is and how high up he is on the totem pole, to still care about Akron, Ohio, that is tremendous and speaks volumes.
172
Whoever speaks of Europe is wrong: it is a geographical expression.
173
174
I make music that speaks to me.
175
We need to recognize that the situation in Ferguson speaks to broader challenges that we still face as a nation. The fact is, in too many parts of this country, a deep distrust exists between law enforcement and communities of color. Some of this is the result of the legacy of racial discrimination in this country.
176
177
178
179
180
It has given me a global vantage point, being the daughter of immigrants from China, who had nothing when they came here. And now I am leading a company. It speaks to something deep in me, the concept that you don’t have to start with anything.
181
182
183
A new laboratory technique, positron emission tomography, uses radioactively labeled oxygen or glucose that essentially lights up specific and different areas of the brain being activated when a person speaks words or sees words or hears words, revealing the organic location for areas of behavioral malfunction.
184
185
It is hard enough to be good at all, but to be good in comedy speaks for your character.
186
Even Echo speaks not on these radiant moors.
187
He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.
188
Put on the game tape. The game tape speaks volumes because I’m in live action, I’m out there making reads, going through progressions, redirection protection, signaling hot routes, getting the offense in and out of the right play.
189
It’s not new to attempt to vilify the minority that speaks about their oppression. That’s not a new thing.
190
191
Despite being the greatest, Messi is an ordinary guy. He speaks like a normal guy, he acts like a normal guy. As a normal person, he has family, day-to-day problems in his life, friends and family, the usual.
192
193
194
195
196
There are lots of actors who insist on speaking the lines themselves, and you hear the same thing from directors and the audience, but I don’t think it’s worth getting het up about. I think it makes more sense to use someone who speaks that country’s language: that’s what voice actors are for.
197
198
The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world, but, as in whispering galleries, they are clearly heard at the end, and by posterity.
199
200
201
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
202
203
204
205

207
Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, my wife speaks five languages: Russian, English, French, Italian and, out of self-defense, Spanish. I watched her learn Spanish in three months.
208
209
210
I have an aversion to comedy where everybody speaks in punchlines.
211
212
213
The movie ‘Prema Geethangal’ brought out the campus life in the 1980s whereas ‘Ennalum Sharat’ speaks from the 2017 perspective.
214
For me, it is essential to have the inner peace and serenity of prayer in order to listen to the silence of God, which speaks to us, in our personal life and the history of our times, of the power of love.
215
Love can be understood only ‘from the inside,’ as a language can be understood only by someone who speaks it, as a world can be understood only by someone who lives in it.
216
217
I’m someone that speaks with their pads.
218
I am no theologian. I am a layman. I am among those who are preached to, and who listen. It is not for me to preach. I should not willingly forego being a listener, a man who reads the Gospels and then listens to what others say that our Lord meant. But sometimes a listener speaks out, and listens to his own voice.
219
I’m trying to talk to my kids in Japanese, because I’m not a pro English speaker. My wife speaks to them in English. That’s her first language. I don’t want my kids to feel the same as me when I was studying English. It was so frustrating.
220
221
222
223
I think my play speaks for itself.
224
225
226
The guitar speaks for me and it says things – hopefully – for everybody that I play for.
227
There’s just an incredible amount of loneliness as a mother, all this solitude no one really speaks to.
228
229
Nothing speaks louder than an evocative photograph that stirs the imagination, tugs at the heart strings and engages the mind.
230
I wrote ‘Ain’t It Cool? Hollywood‘s Redheaded Stepchild Speaks Out,’ because in doing hundreds and hundreds of interviews over the past six and a half years, I was tired of the story being half told or a third told or erroneously told.
231
Shaw is like a train. One just speaks the words and sits in one’s place. But Shakespeare is like bathing in the sea – one swims where one wants.
232
233
234
235
I was a fan of the Marx Brothers. One of them had this character where he pretended not to be able to talk, but then he wrote this autobiography called ‘Harpo Speaks!’ He wrote about how he quit school at nine years old to become a professional.
236
Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you – almost seems to speak through you, in fact.
237
As open as you can be about it and as willing as you want to kind of experiment with therapy, you still have to find the right person that speaks to you and feels like a good fit for you.
238
Looting speaks to a lack of economic opportunities – frankly, we all would loot, too, if our families’ continued survival depended on it.
239
He’s my friend that speaks well of me behind my back.
240
241
I hate when I see someone who speaks English speaking to someone who speaks a different language, and they’re screaming as if going louder is going to help the other person understand.
242
Graphic Design, which fulfills aesthetic needs, complies with the laws of form and exigencies of two-dimensional space; which speaks in semiotics, sans-serifs, and geometrics; which abstracts, transforms, translates, rotates, dilates, repeats, mirrors, groups, and regroups, is not good design if it is irrelevant.
243
The poet speaks to all men of that other life of theirs that they have smothered and forgotten.
244
Subramaniyam Swami is a very qualified man; whenever he speaks, he speaks something new.
245
246
247
248
As a senator, Obama denounced the Big Brother provisions of Bush‘s post-9/11 Patriot Act, particularly its sections enabling the state to spy on Americans without their knowledge. After taking power, Obama acquired his other face. That face speaks far less, but when it does, it justifies Bush’s policies.
249
Creating a character is about what they look like. The look speaks volume to the audience.
250
251
252
253
254
A writer just speaks from his heart, mind and soul. They are the conscience keepers of the society. They are the keepers of the soul of the society.
255
My father is just getting better and better, and that speaks so well of the way he approaches the work.
256
Beauty is the oracle that speaks to us all.
257
All cultures are different. Some commit genocide. Some are uniquely peaceful. Some frequent bathhouses in groups. Some don’t show each other the soles of their shoes or like pictures taken of them. Some have enormous hunting festivals or annual stretches when nobody speaks. Some don’t use electricity.
258
259
260
I’ve lived my whole life in the life – I’ve lived my whole life doing the thing, I’ve been doing my own thing. And I think my life speaks volumes about what one must do.
261
There’s always difficulties and challenges in every life, I don’t care how much money you make, where you live… and that’s something this film speaks to.
262
I can do much, I can do everything for a man who will be my friend. I can give him power; I can give him wealth. I can give him reputation – the power, the wealth, the reputation which come to a man who speaks to a million people a day in the columns of a great paper.
263
264
265
Cinematography speaks to everything that women do inherently well: It’s multitasking, it’s empathy, and it’s channeling visuals into human emotion.
266
Country music is the people’s music. It just speaks about real life and about truth and it tells things how they really are.
267
I’ve always just focused on the work, and I’ve just tried to be honest with the work. If the work speaks to people, fantastic.
268
269
270
A more important reason is that the bands will intuitively trust someone they think is a peer, and who speaks fondly of the same formative rock and roll experiences.
271
I think that’s a hallmark of a really good story that it has readers that it speaks to more than others.
272
Toni Morrison was a big influence on my work since I was a teenager, what she did with English. I joke that I think she speaks 20 Englishes simultaneously, that she knows how to do that.
273
In what purports to be an egalitarian society, the existence of class is the secret about which no one speaks.
274
Making fun of people’s looks is something that children do – mean children – and, in fact, linguists have determined that Trump actually speaks like a 3rd grader.
275
There’s no controlling Billie – she’s an authentic person. She’s strong-willed and speaks her own mind, but she also listens to reason.
276
277
278
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.
279
I’ve got one grandson gone to MIT. Another grandson had been in the American school here. Because he was dyslexic, and we then didn’t have the teachers to teach him how to overcome or cope with his dyslexia, so he was given exemption to go to the American school. He speaks like an American. He’s going to Wharton.
280
Many of the Central Asians know Russian, and Ted Levin speaks it fluently. I speak Chinese, but Mongolian is completely different, so we had to have translators.
281
A child speaks more sense than an adult half of the time.
282
In my opinion, that’s one of the hardest things to do in songwriting: crafting a song that speaks to you but, at its core, is a simple concept.
283
Putin responds to threats, to illegal sanctions, and to incessant propaganda with statements that governments need to respect each other’s national interests and to work together for common benefit. No politician in the West speaks in this way.
284
In so far as a scientific statement speaks about reality, it must be falsifiable; and in so far as it is not falsifiable, it does not speak about reality.
285
286
287
288
On the day of the show, I sit down with someone that speaks very good English and someone who speaks the local language very well and work out what I’m going to say.
289
In India and elsewhere in the world, the moment a woman speaks out against harassment, people sort of start making all sorts of character judgments about her, about her morality, about what she was wearing, and all such things, and I think that is not fair.
290
I’ve always been committed to tuning out the trends of drag and doing styles and fashions and performances that are really true to what I love, to the movie references I’ve always loved, fashion that speaks to me for whatever reason – no matter what people say.
291
My mother-in-law speaks not a word of English. I speak not a word of Tajiki. So I smile at her ingratiatingly and she fixes me with a beady eye.
292
People say ‘Why would you learn Dutch? Nobody speaks it. Why not French?’ Even the Dutch say that to me! I say because I want to live here, I think it’s only common courtesy that I speak the language.
293
My brother-in-law is an African-American cop who patrols a New Orleans suburban community. He speaks to me often of his perilous duty.
294
We think when God speaks to us, there’s going to be a boom out of Heaven or we’re going to get some chill bumps, but I really believe God’s talking to us all the time. He’s talking to us right in here. I call it our heart, our conscience, but it’s the Holy Spirit talking to us.
295
296
297
Where words fail, music speaks.
298
Movie dialogue is movie dialogue. It can sound real, but no one speaks that way.
299
We can’t get at crime unless we know what language it speaks. Otherwise, we are just suppressing the cough, not curing the disease.
300
301
302
303
304
If you can prove that you’re in that elite class on a consistent basis, it speaks volumes about a player’s longevity. It also says that as a player, you were steady, stable, and great and that you deserve to be recognized.
305
306
307
It speaks to the incredible risk of doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran if American companies have to turn to federally guaranteed funding mechanisms to support their business there.
308
A lot of people have said that I’ve got a voice that speaks to children. I think I’ve got a natural naivety to me. I’m childish.
309
310
311
I think the music that speaks to me the most is music that is personal. And that’s the music that I’m trying to make.
312
313
It is a pleasure to play under Jose Mourinho, and everything is OK. I learn every day. He is a normal coach. He speaks a lot with the players. I like it when the manager speaks a lot with you because it gives you confidence.
314
For people of color – especially African Americans – the idea that racist cops might frame members of their community is no abstract notion, let alone an exercise in irrational conspiracy theorizing. Rather, it speaks to a social reality about which blacks are acutely aware.
315
316
I set the bar high because I don’t want to do just any other show just to keep working. I want to do something special that means something to people and speaks to them. Those kinds of opportunities don’t come along all the time!
317
Sometimes you don’t have to say anything. Silence speaks it all.
318
No matter where you’re born or what country you’re from, you connect with ‘This is America.’ It speaks to people; it connects right to your soul. It calls out injustice, celebrates life, and reunites us all at the same time.
319
320
It always trips me out that America, the most powerful and magnificent nation in the history of the world, whose might was built by immigrants from all over the world, only speaks one language.
321
322
Freedom possesses many meanings. It speaks not merely in terms of political and religious liberty but also in terms of economic and social progress.
323
I’m not a follower. I’m a leader. And anyone who speaks their mind is always criticised.
324
325
In some ways I believe music is the more convincing communicator of ideas than words. For instance, we can hear of Kordaly and Bartok and recognise them as Hungarian, but very few of us speak Hungarian, but the music itself speaks to more people.
326
327
As a footballer I think your own history speaks for itself.
328
329
330
In Chicago, you have an absence of strong family units, and that absence gets filled by gangs. You have a failure in the school system, after-school programs and other social programs to help keep kids off the streets. Amnesty International speaks to that in some way, by keeping these issues in the forefront.
331
I’m fluent in Spanish, so I can do a character that speaks Spanish.
332
My record speaks for itself.
333
334
No one really speaks for the president other than the president.
335
I think that a song, when it works, never mind a piece of long form music, even a song is something that speaks to itself but has a language all of its own, ideally.
336
337
I think there’s a huge lack of political artists in America, and I think it really speaks to our consumeristic culture and how people are driven to be financially successful here. It’s such a shame that we don’t have people who are more inspired than that.
338
My record speaks for itself.
339
My dad always speaks HIS truth. Sometimes it can be off-putting, polarizing, and misunderstood but underneath it all has a heart of gold and would do anything for his family.
340
‘Quick Change’ was my first real movie. It was an interesting audition process because there were no lines in the script. Bill Murray’s character would say something, and Geena Davis and Randy Quaid would say something, and then it would just say, ‘The cabbie speaks.’ How do you audition for that?
341
Hard work speaks for itself.
342
All I can say is that I’ve had too many people in the hip-hop industry really like what I’m doing. I know where I’m coming from, and the album speaks for itself.
343
344
Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.
345
Like, I just feel like the way a man speaks to a woman – the way that people speak to each other – it’s a respect thing.
346
A judgment about life has no meaning except the truth of the one who speaks last, and the mind is at ease only at the moment when everyone is shouting at once and no one can hear a thing.
347
The Conservative Party absolutely can be a party that speaks to mining communities in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, and communities based around heavy industry in Yorkshire and County Durham, Wales and Cornwall as well as urban areas like London.
348
We’ve got so many different cultural groups in my family that I’ve had to learn to accommodate them in different ways. My father speaks different to my mum. My mum speaks different to my grandmother. Everybody speaks different, so you find you start tweaking your language to be more accessible to people.
349
Money speaks, but it speaks with a male voice.
350
If you’re going to reboot something, reboot it in a totally original way that speaks to a new generation.
351
352
I think that’s something that we as black people in this country have been robbed of. I compare it to my brother’s wife, who is Hispanic. She was born in America but her parents are from Honduras. She speaks Spanish. She knows the culture. But most black people, we were robbed of that. We don’t know our heritage.
353
I grew up doing a lot of traveling. My mom left home when she was 15 and traveled to 48 different countries and speaks six different languages. So I grew up with my eyes open. She raised me so that if my heart says something is wrong, I have to go help. What’s right is right and what’s wrong is wrong.
354
355
The sea speaks a language polite people never repeat. It is a colossal scavenger slang and has no respect.
356
In the ’70s, the newspaper guild managed to get people paid what they were worth, but the reporters suddenly became middle class. It’s much more respectable, more uptight, and everyone speaks in guarded tones. And the writing isn’t as good. We always had guys who were failed poets and failed novelists who did it to eat.
357
358
When I do an action thing, it speaks louder than the things that I’ve done that are dramatic and comedy. Actually, if you look at my resume, I have just as much comedic things as dramas, and I have far less action things than all of the other things, but I’m kind of defined as an action person.
359
It’s useless to criticize things that people love and something that speaks to them.
360
He that speaketh against his own reason speaks against his own conscience, and therefore it is certain that no man serves God with a good conscience who serves him against his reason.
361
We have laws against torture. The Constitution says nothing whatever about torture. It speaks of punishment; ‘cruel and unusual‘ punishments are forbidden.
362
363
I speak from the heart. Certain people follow lyricists and people that put words on a dictionary together, and this and that. I’m more of a rapper that speaks how I feel. I just tell it how it is.
364
My heart seems to heal, so that speaks well for my future.
365
When Klopp speaks about his football being heavy metal, I understand completely. It is so aggressive. For the fans, it is really good.
366
Having discussions over the years is normal, as I am someone who is very direct and always speaks the truth.
367
You can’t ever create defensively. You just have to create the next thing that really speaks to you.
368
It’s good to have someone who speaks your own language just to get your mind off of basketball.
369
370
371
372
I do not believe in pure idioms. I think there is naturally a desire, for whoever speaks or writes, to sign in an idiomatic, irreplaceable manner.
373
What people love about Santorum is he is who is he. He speaks his words. He loves God. He loves his country, and he loves gays.
374
I’m special, in a way that is good. I don’t have to explain ‘special.’ There is no definition for special. Special speaks for itself.
375
376
377
Unless one always speaks the truth, one cannot find God Who is the soul of truth.
378
Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.
379
When the heart speaks, its language is the same under all latitudes.
380
381
I just make the music and then the music speaks for itself.
382
383
The fact that that’s the difference between Mexicans and Cubans is pronounced. It’s so immediately recognizable, the way a Cuban speaks, the way a Cuban moves the hands.
384
385
For better or worse, when Sen. Inhofe speaks, the Republican Party follows. And when the Republican Party follows, it is impossible to get real work done in the Congress.
386
On telly, there’s been a move towards entertainment – with some very high-powered, fast-moving dramas. Then we have the Internet, where we get our information but it’s all in bite-size pieces. I think the documentary, as a form, actually speaks to what’s missing.
387
The history of Pantera speaks for itself.
388
389
Part of the popularity with Louis Farrakhan has less to do with the content of his message and more to do with the form that he portrays himself – as being a free black person who speaks what is on his mind with boldness and fearlessness. Who is willing to pay the consequences.
390
He’s not a coach who speaks to you every day. Wenger has spoken to me two or three times. He’s told me he’s very impressed by how I train and how I’m a disciplined character.
391
392
393
394
395
396
The only way a ventriloquist speaks differently is that he forgoes using his or her lips, and learns to reproduce sounds using the tongue, upper palate, and teeth only. Those ‘difficult’ letters are B, F, M, P, V, W, and Y.
397
There is only one person who represents all Americans. We need a president who speaks out and condemns racism and anti-Semitism. We need a president who recognizes everyone is equal. We are not perfect, but we all deserve respect.
398
That’s the great thing about being an actor: getting the opportunity to do something that really speaks to you.
399
400
I’m always drawn toward family drama, and dysfunctional family stories. It speaks to me, in a really profound way, and I think there’s so much to explore within it.
401
I think camp is a really fascinating thing, and it’s hard to define and hard to apply consciously. It’s almost something you take from material that’s already existed in the world, a reading of the world. But I think it speaks of a long tradition of gay reading of the world, before gays were allowed to be visible.
402
It feels good to just play in the All-Star Game. To be the first un-drafted player to start, I think it speaks volumes for those guys trying to make to the league that there are always opportunities if you just stay prepared.
403
I am a straight, non-alcoholic, non-partying guy who speaks straight. I have no knowledge of literature. This is my language of communication, and what I see, what I observe, I reflect.
404

408
The music speaks for itself. You either like it or you don’t, or you’re somewhere in between. That doesn’t change whether I’m in the band or not.
409
410
I must listen as God speaks to my soul through good thoughts, inspirations, and intuitions.
411
Music has always been a part of my life, and it helps me a lot because it speaks for me when I can’t speak for myself.
412
My upbringing is so fundamentally different to my parents’. It must be strange to look at your child who not only speaks with a different accent but has a totally different view of the world.
413
Hip-hop is the streets. Hip-hop is a couple of elements that it comes from back in the days… that feel of music with urgency that speaks to you. It speaks to your livelihood and it’s not compromised. It’s blunt. It’s raw, straight off the street – from the beat to the voice to the words.
414
When your heart speaks to you about what you need to do to sustain life on this planet, listen to it, make a difference, and be an inspiration for generations to come. Be inspired by people like Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Christopher Reeve, Albert Schweitzer, Helen Keller, and many others.
415
416
417
418
Hamas is a terror organization with a covenant that speaks about the elimination of the Jewish people and the State of Israel. They are not partners for negotiations.
419
To be censored is one sure way of knowing you have been taken dead seriously. It also speaks to the continuing power of the printed word, almost fifteen hundred years after that amazing invention.
420
When holiness is achieved by conforming to God’s will, one knows intuitively that which is wrong and that which is right before the Lord. Holiness speaks when there is silence, encouraging that which is good or reproving that which is wrong.
421
He who speaks evil only differs from his who does evil in that he lacks opportunity.
422
The only problem was that I couldn’t communicate with Dario. He speaks Italian and I don’t. We had a translator the whole time. I just felt that something was lost with the go between. He was a delightful man, but I wish we could have spoken the same language.
423
Beto O’Rourke speaks in annoyingly pert platitudes like some mediocre yoga instructor who promises to ‘build a movement.’
424
I’m kind of down for anything, as long as it’s an amazing script that speaks to me, so I’m just constantly reading and constantly looking.
425
I am endorsing Barack Obama because he is a new kind of leader: he speaks with a different voice; he brings a new perspective and inspires a real excitement from the American people.
426
427
I actually did a lot of interviews with Benjamin Bratt, and I learned a lot about him in all of those 60 something interviews that we did, because it was a junket. He speaks very well, and I learned that from him.
428
Some museum boards think that choosing an architect can be reduced to a science, but it comes down to a matter of taste, pure and simple. A shortlist of prospective designers speaks volumes about the likely outcome. If the candidates‘ styles are too divergent, the search committee doesn’t know what it wants.
429
The best music to dance to is my music! Haha! I say anything that speaks to you. I personally enjoy dancing to hip-hop, R&B music, EDM/trap music.
430
If you believe that there is a God, then you know that God doesn’t show his face. He speaks to you, you feel him, but you’ve never seen him.
431
432
I think my music speaks for itself – it backs me up.
433
Nonfiction speaks to the head. Fiction speaks to the heart. Poetry speaks to the soul. It’s the essence of beauty. The essence of pain. It pleases the eye and the ear.
434
I love any of Rick Stein’s television productions – the way he speaks about food is with such love and respect.
435
436
437
A voice and an accent are two very different things. The voice of a man is how he speaks from his heart, right in the middle of him… And then you stick an accent on top of that.
438
Trump is like a Shakespearean ‘fool’: he seems crass because he speaks the truth.
439
Great actors can transform, but sometimes there’s just this person who speaks right to the role. When they walk in the room, you know they’re that character. That is something you can’t teach an actor; that’s something that’s luck and chance.
440
I’m always for the person who speaks their mind.
