Security Council can pass a resolution against Israel!
Yahya Jammeh
17

Mark Van Doren
18
My mom is just authentically herself all the time. She loves herself. She loves her sense of humor. She brings people in when she talks. She brings people in when she laughs.

26
I feel like great TED Talks are ones that are a little bit subject to interpretation, that do provoke further conversation – and potentially controversy.

I would say things like ‘I am the greatest! I’m pretty! If you talk jive, you’ll drop in five! I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee! I’m pretty!’ When white people heard me talking like this, some said, ‘That black man talks too much. He’s bragging.’
45
In the original introduction to the word meme in the last chapter of ‘The Selfish Gene,’ I did actually use the metaphor of a ‘virus.’ So when anybody talks about something going viral on the Internet, that is exactly what a meme is, and it looks as though the word has been appropriated for a subset of that.
46
Almost immediately, I remember right when Tikrit even fell, a few days after Baghdad fell, there was talks of insurgency, there was talks of jihad and of resisting the American occupiers, and slowly this turned into an organized movement.

47
No stranger ever comes up and talks to me. I’m the invisible woman.
48
Notes on ‘Camp’ talks a lot about homosexuality and androgyny and performance and a false seriousness, nit-picking the trivial things and making them funny. And that’s exactly what drag does. Reading through the entire essay I couldn’t help but relate all of it back to drag.

In my 20 years of baseball, I’ve been misquoted three or four times, and for someone who talks as much as I do, that’s incredible.

51
The road to the Paris climate talks has been paved across decades.
52
I think everyone talks about talent. It’s really one of the most overused terms. It comes down to, do you play, and do you win? Talent is one factor, but certainly not the only one.
53
‘Bandhan’ is easily one of my favorites as the title itself talks of eternal bonds. It is an excellent example of a movie that shows truth always prevails.

Nuclear talks are not about nuclear capability. They are about Iranian integrity and dignity.
68
Think about ‘GoodFellas’: It could be a textbook on how not to write a screenplay. It leans on voice-over at the beginning, then abandons it for a while, then the character just talks right into the camera at the end. That structure is so unusual that you don’t have any sense of what’s going to happen next.
69

The Joker that Christopher Nolan created in ‘The Dark Knight‘ had the scar across his mouth, and the first time you heard his explanation for it, he makes you believe that’s how he got it. But then you get into the film, and every time he talks about his scar, it’s a totally different story.
74

Brian Wildsmith
78
There are few ironclad rules of diplomacy but to one there is no exception. When an official reports that talks were useful, it can safely be concluded that nothing was accomplished.

One always talks of surrendering to nature. There is also such a thing as surrendering to the picture.
Pierre Bonnard
80
Most of my friends are not actors. Most people have an idea of what an actor’s life is, and it’s pure glamour and excitement: it’s easy and free and everyone loves you. But with a certain level of fame, there’s a real level of paranoia and depression that comes with what you do, that nobody talks about.
81
I learned to impersonate the kind of person that talks about poetry. It comes from teaching, I think.
82
I think the good thing about Macklemore is that he is very precise about what he gets involved in. As you can tell, he’s very passionate about what he puts his name on, because he talks about things people don’t usually talk about, and his concepts are very, very passionate.
83
George W. Bush was a silver spoon dolt with no record to speak of other than bankruptcy and selling tropical plants, and we let him sail into the White House, but Barack talks about religious fundamentalism and guns being prevalent in poor areas, and we roast him for weeks?
84
Many times, the Senate talks of things and never gets anything through.

The British government says that for Sinn Fein to be involved in talks the guns must be left at the door.
95
I look at Samoa Joe, and I’ve told him a number of times that I see his stuff at ‘NXT’ and think to myself, ‘Man, I could have a great deal of fun with you.’ He’s a guy I have sort of enjoyed, and one of those sleeper guys that no one talks about.
96
When I started giving talks about women’s history, one of the things that bothered me was the tendency to say, ‘Well, everybody was totally oppressed and suddenly in 1964 we rose up, got our freedom, and here we are.’ It dismisses the women who fought for rights for several hundred years of our history up to that point.
97
The federal government gets a lot press, and that’s what the media talks about, but your state and local governments, in many ways, have more impact on your life than the federal government does.
98
Bore, n. A person who talks when you wish him to listen.
99
Being a medium, a lot of religious people are like, ‘ok. that’s talking to the dead.’ The bible talks about it in a very different context so I think there’s more stigma to being a medium.
100
When the trainer talks to the fighter, there’s a connection. You don’t always have to say much.
101
Literally everybody talks about 56 percent completion percentage. It gets brought up in every meeting. It’s something I’m trying to work on.
102
Why would it matter to anybody if a game developer talks about a project that they worked on ten years ago that was canceled? It really bums me out to think about how many of those games have been lost to time.
103
Almost everything I have read about Istanbul talks about it as the gateway to the east. We’re so programmed to think of it like that but for much of the world, it’s the gateway to the west, or even where north meets south.
104
The thing about World War II is that everyone knows about the concentration camps in Europe – in Nazi Germany and Poland and Auschwitz and the other camps – but, no one really talks about the camps that were here in the United States.
105
My wish is to be a catalyst, to push for solutions, to broker peace talks, to ensure accountability, especially for those who committed and are still organizing unspeakable crimes.
Ger Duany
106
Everybody talks about tariffs as the first thing. Tariffs are the last thing. Tariffs are part of the negotiation. The real trick is going to be increase American exports. Get rid of some of the tariff and non-tariff barriers to American exports.
107
Reading ‘IT’ again as an adult, you understand it from a different perspective. It is basically a love letter to childhood and talks about all of the treasures of that time, like imagination and belief, that are inevitably lost in adulthood.
108
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

110
When anyone talks about lucha libre and that style of wrestling, the first person they think of is Mil Mascaras. The other man the true wrestling fan will think of is El Santo. These were the names that came to me when I was growing up.
111
I’ve learned the hard way at the national level that any erroneous statement will very quickly be magnified. So, as someone who talks for a living, I’ve learned to check, double-check and triple-check my sources.
112
Let’s face it: Russell Crowe is fat and no one ever talks about it.
113
I’m not going to be the artist that talks about a million dollar whip and ‘I just bought some red bottoms.’ That’s cool, but that’s not all there is to it. I’d rather talk about something everyone can relate to and feel.
114
When I hear Donald Trump say the American military is a disaster, I want to go through the screen and shake the guy. We ought to have a commander in chief who talks about our troops with respect and gratitude.
115
I remember my first scene with Alan Rickman, and I was anxious because he is a slightmethod‘ actor; as soon as he is in his cloak, he walks and talks like Snape – it is quite terrifying. But I really wanted to talk to him because ‘Robin Hood‘ was one of my favourite films.
116
I usually think to do pep talks on Twitter if I’m on the road, at home and my girlfriend is out of town, or if I’m at home and up later then my girlfriend and our dog Bizzy – like, if they’re both asleep but I’m kind of wired.
117
Stevie Wonder, he was in a party. They introduced me to him. I didn’t know that he had like a accent… or that is just how he talks. He was real cool. Kinda chopped it up… It was cool, good experience.

121
I look at myself more as a storyteller than a screenwriter, as pretentious as that may sound, but that’s what really attracts me to TED Talks. For me, the really effective ones are being presented by expert storytellers.
122
I’m obsessed with insects, particularly insect flight. I think the evolution of insect flight is perhaps one of the most important events in the history of life. Without insects, there’d be no flowering plants. Without flowering plants, there would be no clever, fruit-eating primates giving TED Talks.
123
I have an audience of one, and that’s the Lord. And we’ve had plenty of talks, let me tell you. And I know my heart’s in the right place. And so I just have to stand firm on that.
124
He just kind of talks them through, and then I get the fun part cause I get to make up the stories.
125
I love astute observations and really great wordplay. I love the way that Louis C.K. observes life, and I love the way Patton Oswalt talks about it.
126
We might enjoy essays, TED talks, and even Facebook posts bemoaning our dependency on tech, but judging by our enthusiastic adoption of these services, we’re all in.

129

130
I had very good talks with Leipzig. I felt that the club really wanted me.
131
People who ask us when we will hold talks with Pakistan are perhaps not aware that over the last 55 years, every initiative for a dialogue with Pakistan has invariably come from India.

One of my favorite books was ‘The Book of Immortality‘ by Adam Leith Gollner, which talks about cheating death and life extension and frames with a story that David Copperfield finds a fountain of youth on an island he bought.
134
Sonnen, to me, he’s a great athlete, but he created that image so much for himself that people don’t think he’s that good. They just think he talks. So I think it’s a risk you run when you do that.
135
The audience loves when the comedian talks to them. You’re creating inside jokes, which creates a community.
136
People forget how dominant Public Enemy became in the mid ’80s. No one talks about how transformative they were. And then that led to the ’90s and the sort of East Coast v. West Coast stuff, which is kinda when I came of age.
137
Gospel talks about life’s struggles, but you always feel like it recognizes these struggles and that you can overcome them.
138
I think people are understanding that I’m immensely proud of my father. If people talk to me about him, I’ll certainly respond. And there’s a certain generation that still talks about him right off. And I take that with gratefulness and with gratitude.
139
The media talks a lot. The media, they don’t know. They are not in the team, they are not training with me, they are not playing with me, but they are talking a lot about me in Europe.
140
On a global scale, the way Trump talks about dealing with foreign policy is very scary.
141

142
The person who talks a lot or talks over people misses out because they weren’t listening.
143
Nashville is a lot like my hometown. You learn so quickly once someone hears something about you or sees something, everybody talks about it at dinner. They know your business, so people tend to be more private and not to throw themselves into everyone’s faces.
144
The UPA government talks more and works less. Most of its schemes look impressive on paper while they are not implemented properly at the grassroots level even in Congress-ruled states.
145

147
A way a woman walks and talks and moves and behaves is completely connected to how she looks.
148
DC will always talk. I just found out he just talks. I kind of figured it out. He talks just to hear himself talk. I know he wants to be that guy that’s a big time promoter and all this other stuff, but I think he’s his own biggest cheerleader and his worst promoter for sure.
149
And when Roger talks about the frightened ones running away from the bombs, I immediately thought of my days when I was young and I had to wear these gas masks.
Gerald Scarfe
150
Oxfam believes that any global talks to reform tax rules must include all countries, including the poorest.
151
No one ever talks about the moment you found that you were white. Or the moment you found out you were black. That’s a profound revelation. The minute you find that out, something happens. You have to renegotiate everything.
152
My dad talks about the times when we’d play backyard cricket: If I got bowled out, I’d just refuse to let go of the bat and swing it at anyone who tried to take it away from me. I like to think that’s been tempered a bit over the years.
153
On teams that have won championships and got to the big game, there’s a certain vibe and feel in that locker room. Everyone talks about how there’s a brotherhood in that locker room, there’s not a lot of dissent, there’s not guys that go off on their own. It’s a team atmosphere.
154
I am a person who never talks about my problems with anyone. I don’t discuss them with my dad because he gets hyper. So I choose not to.
155
Marvel‘s storytelling is much wilder than ‘The OA’s,’ but no one talks about that.
156
Zidane’s success comes from transmitting calm and never changing that no matter what is happening. That serenity and tranquility conveys confidence and security. He talks little but when he does, it matters.
157
Myth is a powerful medium because it talks to the emotions and not the head. It moves us into an area of mystery.
158
‘Talks on the Gita’ is the story of my life, and it is also my message.
159
The Taliban has not, in my judgment, in any significant way changed their fundamental goal and objective, which is to take over Afghanistan and return to running that country. It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have negotiation talks with them. I think we should. But we’ve got to be clear-eyed about it.
160
Miss Rice talks very tough. We have gotten used to this nonsense. Miss Rice is a bit emotional about this, and we predicted that she would have a more emotional approach to this.
161
My work in books, films and talks lies almost wholly with children, and I have very little time to give to grown-ups.
Enid Blyton

163
If you’re in a meeting and a man talks loudly over you, rather than copying that behaviour and normalising it, what you could do is say ‘Can everybody stop doing this and instead put up a hand when we talk?’
164
I mean the idea of this is that it’s a good thing for the public to hear interviews like this and that there will be an inevitable amount of fewer interviews if people that the press talks to wind up thinking, well, it’s not really a CBS correspondent.
165
There are times when I consciously give the character something physical – a walk, the way he sits, how he talks, or his lack of physicality, which is like a physicality.
166
I treat my cat like she’s my therapist or something, because I talk to her all the time, and as she’s gotten older, she talks back. It’s pretty funny.

What’s funny in ‘The Mayor of MacDougal Street’ is how Dave Van Ronk talks a lot about the time and how exciting it was and how electric it was.

171

173
‘Raining Diamonds‘ talks about knowing there’s something better out there. You don’t have to just settle.
174

Kiana Tom
177
I’m a Brit, so I come from a country where in the run-up to a general election, no one talks about abortion.

Gregory Stock
179
At home, I’m the silliest cornball who talks way too much and wants to be quiet and left alone at the same time.
180
There are interactions with characters within the game which I think are pretty neatly done considering the limitations that you have to work with. I mean, a computer can’t really generate a character that talks back and forth with you successfully.
181
You know who’s messianic? Netanyahu, because he talks that way. And that’s a very risky position.
182
The way Jughead talks to Archie and vice versa is very much the way I would talk to my twin.
183
I look at my grandmother, and she has this grace and class about her. When she walks into a room and sits down and talks to someone. Everything she does in life. I feel that women of her generation were really taught that.
184
Everyone talks about how the anonymity of the Internet allows people to behave badly, but I think it’s the other way around, that the anonymity removes the ‘self’ from the people we’re talking to online. Other people lose their humanity in our eyes. The system is set up to dehumanize.
185
Anytime someone talks about your figure constantly, you get nervous; you get really self-conscious.
186
Money talks, and when it starts to say goodbye, humans listen and act accordingly.
187
I listen to a lot of TED talks and motivational speakers.
188
Spending time with Mexican-born writer and director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, you’d never guess that he’s the filmmaker behind a series of movies known as the ‘Death Trilogy.’ The way he dotes on his children and talks about his wife makes it clear that he has a crackling passion for life.
189
Everyone talks about immigrants taking jobs, but there are a lot of jobs that America needs.
190
I mean, Joel talks to the actors more than I do and I probably do production stuff a little more than he does.
191
Everybody talks about talent. But talent is not only athleticism. It’s not only tennis shots. It’s everything. It’s the attitude you have about life.
192
One guy that I wish was here right now, Ted Williams, helped me so much, our long talks, not about hitting but about fishing, one of Ted’s passions, and I wish he was here today to share this with me because I owe so much to Ted Williams.
193
Scientology is completely irrelevant to any of the talks that have been given to me.
194
It seems like whenever a big newspaper or TV show talks about teen literature, they focus on dark books or vampire books. It’s kind of this cliche. It seems like the only time adults pay attention is with that angle.
195
We call upon all sides to stop hostilities and restart peace talks.
Nursultan Nazarbayev
196
If someone has given a hit in the industry, and everyone talks about the song and artist, that’s a hit.
197
I read tons of books, listen to music non-stop, watch as many movies as possible, catch a play when I can, art shows, concerts, bar talks – I just try to engage in art, which to me is everywhere, as often as I can because narrative lives in it all.
198
Hollywood, what a place it is! It is so far away from the rest of the world, so narrow. No one thinks of anything but motion pictures or talks of anything else.
Dolores del Rio
199
Every time Maradona speaks it makes life difficult for everyone and there are those of us who don’t agree with that, not when he talks about football, but rather about people.
200
Being in an industry where money talks, everybody involved in the ‘Dare To Dream‘ project came to a conclusion to sign it to Interscope.
201
No one ever really talks about the punk-rock involvement in hip-hop, which influenced Afrika Bambaata.
202
Science will explain how but not why. It talks about what is, not what ought to be. Science is descriptive, not prescriptive; it can tell us about causes but it cannot tell us about purposes. Indeed, science disavows purposes.
203
History has proved that the most ardent enemies have settled their differences through talks and not war.
204
I’m a huge fan of Giuliani, as a person. Down-to-earth, talks to you like a human.
205
Donald Trump talks about everyone behind their backs.
206
I’ve given a lot of talks over the years on the subject of entrepreneurship. The first thing I find I have to do is to dispel the persistent myth that entrepreneurial success is all about innovative thinking and breakthrough ideas.
207
I look upon meself as… You take a band that’s made up of arms, legs, bodies… I happen to be the piece that talks. And does all that area of it, you know? I’m also very easy to recognize; the darkie in the middle jumping around with the guitar, you know. Dat boy‘s got rhydm!!!
Phil Lynott
208
When Kobe talks, I shut up and stay out of his way.
209
Everyone talks about the elusive thing with chemistry. If you have a romance on screen or anything, the first thing you have to do is become friends with the person. It’s not necessarily about falling in love.
Seamus Dever
210
Everybody who talks about ‘Strictly‘ talks psychobabble. They say they’re going on a journey, or trying to build their confidence, or getting over a divorce or something. People say there must be a deep reason to do these things. But there isn’t! I’m just having fun.
211
Obama is the rare Democrat who talks easily about faith and values and who does so without upsetting those offended by the mixture of religion and politics.
212
There’s a ‘Seinfeldepisode, where he talks about why he can’t get angry, because his voice rises to a comedic pitch and no one takes him seriously – and that’s true of me, too.
213
If there’s no relationship with a father who’s absent, nobody talks about it.
214
Governor Rauner talks about what he might get done or what he tried to get done. It’s past time for all his talk. It’s time for action. It’s what I’ve been doing my whole life.
215
Fashion needs incredible women, alive, stimulating, with style like Diana Vreeland. She is the most. The way she talks expresses all her values.
Gianni Versace
216
The moment a man talks to his fellows he begins to lie.
Hilaire Belloc
217
My all-time favorite TED talks are Brene Brown‘s ‘The Power of Vulnerability‘ and Sir Ken Robinson‘s ‘Do Schools Kill Creativity.’
218
Everybody’s gone through some kind of struggle in their life, and I’d like to be the type of voice who talks about it.
219
It doesn’t matter my size. It’s more a mindset. That’s what people don’t understand. It’s the size the media talks about, but they don’t know my heart.
220
I’ve already engaged in talks with the textile sector, where we hope to create tens of thousands more jobs.
221
Arrival‘ talks very little about language and how to precisely dissect a foreign language. It’s more a film on intuition and communication by intuition, the language of intuition.
222
Nobody talks about housewives anymore! This is what we were supposed to do in the ’50s. Not everybody, but in my milieu. My crowd. You went to college, and you got a degree in case, God forbid, you ever had to work. And you better find somebody to marry while you’re there, because otherwise, what’s going to become of you?
223
Literally, there is a lot of talk about sparks in the Kabbalah. It talks about when God created the world initially, there was an explosion that happened like a Big Bang but based on vessels and light.
224
Everybody always talks about how they can’t wait until they turn 18, so they can go out on their own and get their own apartment, and I’m like, ‘I want to be with Mom!’ I have it good.
Carly Schroeder
225
Often, I allow teammates to take my penalties so they can have goals, but no one talks of that.
226

227
Motivational talks are something I have been asked to do and i fancy taking a crack at it.
228

229
True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.
230
Michael Bisping just speaks to speak; he just talks to talk. He just tries to open his mouth so that something can be heard, but nothing’s going to come out.
231
The thing that nobody talks about with nurseries is that it’s also about creating a beautiful place for you. You spend so much time there, it needs to be a soft place to land.
232
I write traditional drama, and the small enclosed communities work well with this form. I enjoy exploring secrets. On small islands, privacy is important, and there are secrets that everyone can guess but nobody talks about.
Ann Cleeves
233
Blanche talks about aging, and why should she be considered poor, because physical beauty is transitory and fading and she has such richness of the soul. I think that speech is so beautiful, and so telling and so true.
234
When Napoleon abdicated in April 1814, Britain expected that America would soon lose heart and surrender, too. From then on, London‘s chief aims were to bring a swift conclusion to the war and capture as much territory as possible in order to gain the best advantage in the inevitable peace talks.
235
When a writer talks about his work, he’s talking about a love affair.
Alfred Kazin
236
‘Lost Vikings’ and ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Racing‘ were pretty critical games to us. We got some acclaim as a result, some video gaming awards. Those are the games that impressed Davidson and Associates and led to the merger talks.
237
Nobody talks about the poor. Everybody talks about the middle class and just kinda want to ignore that the poor exist. And you cannot ignore that they exist if you want to help them.
238
A gentleman never talks about his tailor.
239
When someone talks about Western films, you probably think of those old black and white cowboy films your granddad likes. But the Western is a wonderful genre because it is usually a story of a lone hero fighting against corruption in a dangerous world.
Caroline Lawrence
240
Condi Rice talks tough but she cannot be tough herself.
241
In L.A., unless you’ve just won an Oscar or you’re Mr. Studio Head, no one talks to you. Even at parties.
242
I want to prove myself and get in talks for a title shot. It’s hard because people don’t want to risk themselves against me.
243
Everyone just talks about the problems our teenage girls are facing and what they’re dealing with. But there was, to me, a void in how they were being served or helped. I thought, ‘Wow, I’d love to create something.’
244
Playing in Barca is impressive: they’re in the Champions League; everyone talks about this team. You will not find another club like it in the world.
245
I love Ric Flair. He’s a great person with me, he talks, texts me, sometimes we have dinner.
Andrade
246
I wrote that song ‘Black,’ and it was just this idea that I had been married for 10 years. Everyone talks about ‘happily ever after,’ but there’s so much more to it than that.
247
I’m not one of those players who talks about things off the field. It’s about what trophies and titles and cups you’ve won.
248
If you go overseas and meet people, you can detect a Singaporean from across the street – the way he dresses, slightly; the way he talks; the way he acts. There is a persona which is recognizable and which we are proud of.
249
I don’t disagree with Senator McCain when he talks about the earmark process.
250
Cardinal Raymond Burke is a 66-year-old guy who lives in Rome, dresses like Queen Elizabeth, and talks like someone who majored in misogyny at some bogus, backwoods, Bible-banging tent school.
251
I just want to be really clear about this: Anyone who has read Colin Powell’s biography – there’s an entire section where he talks about experiencing segregation. Colin Powell did not appear when he became head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That’s not how it happened.
252
Globalisation means many things. At one level, it talks of trade, which since the 16th century has exchanged goods and now, increasingly, ideas and information across the globe. But globalisation is also a view of the world – it is an opinion about man and why men are on the world.
253
Some folks actually talk a whole lot more than me, so I’m grateful for the people like Cliff Bleszinski. He talks about our games, and Mark Rein talks about our business strategy. I’m the shy programmer myself.
254
I’ve often thought books give you – put you in a world that you never thought you could go. And I often would say, I don’t need to go to California. Give me a book that talks about California. And I can put it in my head and imagine what it looked like.
255
Blessed is he who talks in circles, for he shall become a big wheel.
Frank Dane
256
Returning to England is definitely not in my plans. I had talks with Liverpool, a club I admire a lot, but like I said it’s not in my plans, although life takes many turns.
257
Initially, I was worried about playing Hansa, because Hansa is someone who talks a lot but does nothing. But after I started playing the character, it was such a relief.
258
FBX was my baby that I staked everything on. We shipped it fast, scaled it up, and now the baby talks and can walk to school, but I don’t feel I need to babysit it.
259
In his new autobiography, ‘Capital Gaines,’ Chip talks about the farm work – and he says he does, in fact, do it himself.
260
Mrs. Obama has a hug – a sincere and friendly embrace – that has become familiar to countless supporters from coast to coast. And when she talks to you, she focuses all her calm attention on your face.

There’s a whole form of literature in India which talks about the quest for the perfect man by a woman, where every woman looks for a perfect man but only ends up with half that.
262
Everybody talks. Anthony Pettis talked before the fight. Donald Cerrone talked before the fight. See what happened?
263
The Pentagon talks about our power to ‘overkill’ Russia ten times, twenty times, perhaps forty-eight times. For my tax money, it is sufficient to overkill them once.
264
I’ve never seen anybody win the game in the media. But at the same time, I understand what it could do for you, if you wanted to be someone who talks a lot.
265
Well see, I’m a good enough writer that not everybody in my books talks exactly like I do.
Robert Kirkman
266
Congress party talks about Dalits but does not involve them in important decision making process.
267
Catty is not cool. I can’t think of anything less becoming than a man who talks about people behind their backs.
268
‘The Ways of a Woman in Love’ is one of my very favorite early Johnny Cash songs. I like the way the lyric talks about the character walking by the girl’s house and wishing he was the one in her arms.
269
My first year in Japan was very tough, just like my first year in the minors. But at least there I had a lot of Dominican people and Latin people I can talk to. If you don’t have anybody to talk to, you can get depressed. But if you find someone who talks your language, it’s easier.
Alfonso Soriano
270
‘In Another Time‘ talks about our addiction to technology.
271
You travel across the country, you visit departments, you give talks, you talk about the work at your laboratory – what’s going on, what the opportunities are there – you talk about your own research.
Frank Press
272
I have healed myself through sharing my birth story as well as others’ stories in my film ‘No Woman, No Cry,’ and in various writings and talks about maternal health.
273
All too often, I will see people on the left slam Trump for the way he treats or talks about other people. Then those same individuals – sometimes even in the same breath – will go on to say even worse things about the people who voted for him.
274
On television, everyone talks and they don’t care about the mechanics.
Paul Winchell
275
When Zidane talks to you, you know you are being spoken to by one of the greatest players in the history of the game. He has been there and done it. You never stop learning from him.
276
I don’t think you’ll find one person that says I shoot from the hip. What they say is, ‘This guy talks eyeball to eyeball. This guy talks shoulder to shoulder. If you ask this guy a question, you’ll get an answer.’
Robert Blaha
277
One of the most comical comments that my ‘Wendy’ watchers said is, ‘She talks too much!’ Duh, I’m a talk show host!
278
Bobby Bones is a young country DJ who does a widely syndicated morning show. He’s at his best with his BobbyCast, in which he talks to Nashville up-and-comers such as Kelsea Ballerini and Lauren Alaina. Guests are encouraged to relax on Bones’s couch and talk about anything they like.
279
I wanted to be the girl that talks about getting a guy. I felt like that was a different approach to writing.

The Democrats are obsessing about raising tax rates, while the GOP talks about closing loopholes.
282
In the crime fiction section, you may just find a novel that talks about the place where you’re from and speaks to you about your life – or the life yours could have become if a little misfortune had come your way.
283
When you have been stuck in that heel, bad-guy role as the foreigner who never talks, you want to get out of there, have fun, and just be you.
284
I met my husband through an app that talks to social-networking sites, and that’s how we were sort of suggested to each other, and it turned out to be a great match.
285
Everybody talks about that one when they first meet me. ‘Man, I still remember the play you shook Jordan.’ Everybody gonna always remember it because it was Jordan.
286
I believe in a kind of literature which makes clear that, at a deeper level, below the surface, we are tied together through invisible but existing threads. A kind of literature which talks about a lively, ever-changing world of unity, of which we are a small, but not insignificant part.
287
Once God puts something in your heart – you know, God talks to everyone different.
288
Nobody ever talks about the mean things that girls do to each other.

290
If a guy’s a very good wrestler or a really good boxer or has a really good high kick, you prepare for that. It’s the same when you’re going to fight someone who talks a lot of crap.
291
Direct talks is the only possible way to build trust and to resolve the conditions for a peace perspective between Palestinians and Israelis.
292
The difference that you have with Donald Trump and everyone else in the field is, you’ve got one proven leader, an individual who has unbelievable success in the private sector. Everybody else in the field talks about it.
293
I happen to like Precisionism. It talks to me because I collect Cubism.
Leonard Lauder
294
After that he turned to the question of invading England. Hitler said that during the previous year he could not afford to risk a possible failure; apart from that, he had not wished to provoke the British, as he hoped to arrange peace talks.
Kurt Student
295
You don’t talk to Richard Petty unless he talks to you.
296
If the British government is prepared to say that the Unionists will not have a veto over British government policy and that guns, vetoes and injustices will all be left outside the door, then there is no good reason why talks cannot take place in an appropriate atmosphere.
297
You sit there waiting for the RED LIGHT to go on. You could be sitting there for five minutes, waiting, while the producer talks to the engineer. Then the light goes on you know that you mustn’t make a mistake for at least 4 minutes.
Jim Sullivan
298
I start laughing every time because the media talks to me like I’m finishing my career and I only have one year left and time is running out.
299
Sarah will talk to me about someone and I don’t know who she’s talking about, but if she talks to my mother, the two of them will know exactly – and across several generations, too.
Prince Andrew
300
‘I Was There Too’ talks to people who played non-starring roles in big movies. That means the likes of comedian Jimmy Pardo, who didn’t make it to the finished ‘Dreamgirls.’ Still, he recalls that when an actor is put on hold for a movie, he gets paid for two weeks just for sitting at home waiting to be called.
301
Have very frequent talks with employees because they are your best allies.
302
The person who talks most of his own virtue is often the least virtuous.
303
‘Let the Great World Spin’ at the end talks a lot about connections and light and possibility and the fact that the world doesn’t end. Even in the darkest times, we have to go on.
304
Sometimes the best reading comes just by accident. Someone talks about a book, or you’re just wandering the stacks in the library, and you find a book that you love.
305
I speak with a Northern Irish accent with a tinge of New York. My wife has a bit of a Boston accent; my oldest daughter talks with a Denver accent, and my youngest has a true blue Aussie accent. It’s complicated.
306
Reggae music is not an easy music to like when it comes to the power in society. ‘Cause it talks about changing society. You won’t find it readily accepted.
307
When I give talks, I often quote from a button I received at a Google event: Always Be Creative. I use it to illustrate how important creativity is in technology and business.
308
The basketball stuff has been the easiest part. The stuff that comes out of it, you lose a game and everyone talks about it on TV the next day. They may say some things that you may not agree with.
309
I prefer if friends come over to my office and we talk our heart out over a cup of coffee. I feel that no one talks freely at industry bashes. Everyone has to behave in a certain way, and I think no one is real there. We can’t have heart-to-heart conversations, and I start feeling uncomfortable at such dos.
310
Either Trump only talks to those who play up to his delusion, or he simply doesn’t listen to those who might burst his bubble. Either way, that is a cause for worry.
311
I’m not someone who enjoys long talks, long rehearsals. I’m very technical: I tell my actors, you come in, you sit down, you pick up a coffee, you look here, you say the line. We try it with the cameras rolling, and if it doesn’t work, we adjust it until it does. It’s very simple.
312
It’s funny that everyone talks about Women’s Revolution and I’m the first one to be behind all of them and be with them, but you can’t forget that behind every Women’s Revolution, there was a pack of women before them and before every single generation fought for something.
313
The whole Obama phenomenon brings up memories from my distant past: the good-looking guy who talks real good, whose line you don’t buy immediately but whose charm is so dazzling that he gradually convinces you that this time it will be different.
314
Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.
315
I am quite surprised, that with all my work, and some of it is very, very good, that nobody talks about The Miracle Worker. We’re talking about Mrs. Robinson. I understand the world… I’m just a little dismayed that people aren’t beyond it yet.
Anne Bancroft
316
President Trump rightly points out that law enforcement is mostly made up of good people putting themselves in harm’s way to protect us. He lauds the men and women in blue and often talks about the need to make it easier for the cops to do their jobs.
317
Everybody talks about Bolt. Now they can talk about the ladies who are running some really wonderful times.
318
Everyone talks about the good old days, when guys were tough and quarterbacks got crushed all the time, but back in the day, there weren’t defensive ends that were Mario Williams – 6-7, 300 pounds, 10 percent body fat, running a 4.7 40.
319
Border security is a comprehensive issue and doesn’t boil down to a ‘wall‘ or even barriers. Trump knows and recognizes this, which is why he repeatedly talks about all of the aspects and challenges federal immigration officers face.
320
I do know Joe Lansdale has the most extraordinary voice you’ve ever heard in your life in terms of an accent that, when I started doing it, they had to go, ‘Whoa, we need less.’ But that’s how he talks.

322
I’m not a guy who always complains or talks about getting carries.
323
Didier talks to all of us. Not just with me, but with all the attacking players. He has scored so many goals for Chelsea. But now he pushes the younger players. He is fantastic. A fantastic player, and a fantastic person.
324
I talked with Quentin about where the character came from, and he told me Kansas City. I don’t know how somebody talks from Kansas City, so I made him from New York.
325
Modi talks about the Gandhi family, but people should remember he failed to take care of his wife.
326
Every time anybody in Washington talks about legal status, amnesty, anything of that nature, it becomes a magnet that lures people in quickly into the United States.
327
You spend so much time developing a character when you do a film; so much of your work is done before you get set to shoot because you’ve been working on the character: the way he walks, the way he talks, what might upset him, what might make him happy.
328
The lonely wanderer, who watches by the seashore the waves that roll between him and his home, talks of cruel facts, material barriers that, just because they are material, and not ideal, shall be the irresistible foes of his longing heart.
329
Kanye is the best. I’m obsessed with him to the nine. There’s nobody smarter, cooler. I sit for hours talking to him sometimes. There’s nobody more amazing, brilliant, innovative. He talks to me and I leave him and I’m like How am I going to talk to regular people now?
330
You know it’s funny that none of the regular late-night shows now use guest hosts the way Johnny did. No one talks about it much, but it’s curious that they don’t do it. They would each have to be asked the reason why they don’t.
331
If the Government can talk to China, which has been infiltrating into our territories and grabbing our land for months now, why should they suspend talks with their own farmers, our own people?
332
Our talks in Paris tackled economic, democratic, security and political issues; we talked on means for combating terrorism, in addition to latest regional and international developments of mutual interest, especially those in region.

333
I’m the kind of person who jumps around when he talks because everything is connected.
334
Money talks at the end of the day.
335
They’ve got this crazy actor who’s 82 years old up there in a suit. I was a mayor, and they’re probably thinking I know how to give a speech, but even when I was mayor I never gave speeches. I gave talks.
336
Everyone talks about the big three-oh with dread – but it’s exciting. It feels like life is much more put together. Everyone’s like, ‘Wouldn’t you like to be 20 again?’ But no way.
337
A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table, than when his wife talks Greek.
338
My book ‘Trust Your Heart’, which is the story of my life, will be followed by ‘Singing Lessons‘, a memoir of love, loss, hope, and healing, which talks about the death of my son and the hope that has been the aftermath of the healing from that tragedy.
339
I think I was about 30 before I realized that not every family talks about the presentment clause on a regular basis.
340
Cliff Stearns talks about what he did to Planned Parenthood, making Solyndra a household name – why didn’t he do this sooner? Why didn’t he see it coming? It’s the oversight committee, not the hindsight committee.
341
I’m tired of high policy talks. I want to focus on nuts and bolts.
Dave Freudenthal
342
One of the reasons I think the ultra right-wing has such power in this country is that no one talks out.
