18
As you can see from ‘Symptomatic of a relationship gone sour‘ I have definitely done my fair share of sinning, so I just want to recount my story and how I have come to terms with myself.
19
20
I love video games. I’m also slightly in awe of them. I’m in awe of their power in terms of imagination, in terms of technology, in terms of concept. But I think, above all, I’m in awe at their power to motivate, to compel us, to transfix us, like really nothing else we’ve ever invented has quite done before.
21
When I read Thirteen Days I was moved by it. It was just a great time for the world, in terms of looking back in history and seeing how we got ourselves into trouble and how we got ourselves out of trouble.
22
23
24
25
I think there will be a 200-story skyscraper someday. However, it will require a developer who will not think in conventional terms and for whom economic restraints won’t apply.
26
27
Research has shown that middle-income wage earners would benefit most from a large reduction in corporate tax rates. The corporate tax is not a rich-man’s tax. Corporations don’t even pay it. They just pass the tax on in terms of lower wages and benefits, higher consumer prices, and less stockholder value.
28
It was a wonderful experience to play in the NFL, and I have no regrets. I truly will miss playing for the Lions. I consider the Lions’ players, coaches, staff, management and fans my family. I leave on good terms with everyone in the organization.
29
‘Think simple’ as my old master used to say – meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles.
30
Turkey is a sovereign state, just like the U.S. We might go to different directions, in terms of our impressions and ideas, but we’ll always remain friends.
31
32
33
Because, you know, resilience – if you think of it in terms of the Gold Rush, then you’d be pretty depressed right now because the last nugget of gold would be gone. But the good thing is, with innovation, there isn’t a last nugget. Every new thing creates two new questions and two new opportunities.

37
We finally understand in general terms how a cell is organized, how its specialized organs function in a well integrated manner to insure its survival and replication.
38
39

40
41
Iran is central to our foreign policy in the Middle East, a major player in global energy markets, and a key country in terms of our interaction with the Muslim world.
42
43
44
45
46
The comparison to the old world is something to get excited about. We have the potential for more choice and innovation, and a different regulatory environment that doesn’t place as much weight on economic regulations of terms and conditions.
47
Without education, we are weaker economically. Without economic power, we are weaker in terms of national security. No great military power has ever remained so without great economic power.
48
Myth expresses in terms of the world – that is, of the other world or the second world – the understanding that man has of himself in relation to the foundation and the limit of his existence.
49
I have targets for business achievements; I do not have targets for acquisitions. Because if you have targets for acquisitions, you end up making compromises in terms of valuations, and you buy things because you have a target, and it is not good for business.
50
51
But with lots of good ideas, implementation is the key, and so we need to keep our eye on the ball as we go forward and make sure that people honor their pledges in terms of financial commitments, and that we actually use this money so that it makes a real difference.
52
53
54
We are concerned with the relationship between art and life. Contemporary art is only intelligible in terms of its relationship to our life.
55
56
57
‘An Unquiet Mind’ wasn’t hard to write in terms of the actual writing of it.
58
I don’t distinguish between men and women. This is irrelevant to me, and I don’t think in these terms.
59
In terms of work I’ve always had a Bad Attitude in that I won’t work anywhere which requires me to work strict hours or follow a dress code. I don’t know if that’s an Asperger’s thing or not, I think it’s just being reasonable.
60
I think the Internet’s been a tremendous tool in terms of breaking down the power structure of information and entertainment, particularly at a time when so much information and entertainment were in the hands of so few people, with multinationals owning everything.
61
Our challenge in this regard will be to broaden the scope of our federal funds in terms of international diplomacy, development aid, and international assistance. Many Latinos in the United States look at Latin America and see trouble brewing.
62
Trump sees the world in terms of a zero-sum game. In reality, globalisation, if well managed, is a positive-sum force: America gains if its friends and allies – whether Australia, the E.U., or Mexico – are stronger. But Trump’s approach threatens to turn it into a negative-sum game: America will lose, too.
63
I like human stories. I like stories about situations we can relate to. I like movies like ‘Ordinary People‘ or ‘Terms of Endearment.’ Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, boyfriends, girlfriends. The stories to me that are worth telling are almost simple ones, but very relatable.
64
65
The more you know about the world, the more resources you have in terms of things that can inform your character or the circumstances that surround your character.
66
67
When you talk in terms of electricity, renewable is very important. Hydro in Manitoba. Hydro in Sweden. Wind in Denmark. Of course, those are very important.
68
Nothing is a greater impediment to being on good terms with others than being ill at ease with yourself.
69
70
71
I’ve had many failures in terms of technological… business… and even research failures. I really believe that entrepreneurship is about being able to face failure, manage failure and succeed after failing.
72
73
That is where the irony of the film comes off, in terms of the language it employs – where he tries desperately to be a ‘TV Dad,’ to give advice and it’s so pat it becomes ridiculous.
74
75
The difference between a tool and a machine is not capable of very precise distinction; nor is it necessary, in a popular explanation of those terms, to limit very strictly their acceptation.
76
I’m witnessing the problems that the federal government is passing down in terms of drones, in violation of our civil liberties, spying on our citizens, death panels in the form of the government taking over the health care system and the national debt they’re just saddling our grandchildren with.
77
The poet, being an imitator like a painter or any other artist, must of necessity imitate one of three objects – things as they were or are, things as they are said or thought to be, or things as they ought to be. The vehicle of expression is language – either current terms or, it may be, rare words or metaphors.
78
79
The most important thing when you study hypnosis is that you learn that humans are irrational. Until you understand that, hypnosis is hard to do… For me, it was this great awakening to understand that humans are deeply irrational, and it’s probably the greatest influence on me in terms of my writing.
80
81
Comic art is just different. It’s art on its own terms.
82
Attack those concepts such as ‘third world.’ Think about it. If we look at it in terms of numbers, then people of color are the majority in this world. We should be the ‘first world.’
83
84
85
Football is definitely present in the tennis world. Given the mix of nationalities that exists in the changing rooms, there’s inevitably a bit of a rivalry between the players, especially in terms of the UEFA Champions League or competitions in which national teams compete.
86
Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.
87
88
89
Sportspersons at the grassroots must get world class exposure in terms of coaches, facilities, physical trainers and mental trainers so that a strong foundation is laid at the base. That’s the key to success.
90
I hope I am not too repetitive. However, coming to terms with death is part of the general human situation.
91
For ‘Paul‘s Boutique,’ we had a lot more money and a lot more time. It was definitely more on our own terms.
92
93
Larger deficits are necessary and proper means to mitigate unemployment as the far greater evil in terms of human welfare.
94
We’re trained to see the world in terms of charismatic organizations and charismatic people. That’s who we look to for leadership and change, for transformation. We’re awaiting the next J.F.K., the next Martin Luther King, the next Gandhi, the next Nelson Mandela.
95
96
Economists are coming to acknowledge that measures of national wealth and poverty in terms strictly of average income tell you little that is significant of the health or viability of a society.
97
I’m an old git now, so I would say this, but television was better when there were less channels. There was more concentration and selection in terms of the output.
98
Five years is a very long time. If you think about it in terms of just people’s lives, in terms of who our audience is: if you were in high school when you first saw our stuff, you’re in college now.
99
If I don’t think about anything, and start with a clean slate, in terms of what I have to do, a lot of different ideas come up, and I can think about things more openly.
100
101
102
103
104
Right action tends to be defined in terms of general individual rights and standards that have been critically examined and agreed upon by the whole society.
105
If people feel misled or deceived, then sorry that they feel that way, but I believe that’s more due to their definition and construct of race in their own minds than it is to my integrity or honesty, because I wouldn’t say I’m African American, but I would say I’m black, and there’s a difference in those terms.
106
Wealth, in terms of dollars and so forth, could be counted up, because dollars were finite. It doesn’t make any difference how many dollars you have-at a certain point you only have dollars. You start with finite, you end with finite.
107
108
Most controversies would soon be ended, if those engaged in them would first accurately define their terms, and then adhere to their definitions.
109
I think the most important is to remain as stable and consistent as possible in terms of emotions, because when you’re working, if you work well, you’re always rewarded at some point.
110
111
112
113
114
In terms of being able to renew my nation, to be able to be able to bring back a devastated country, to restore hope to our people, to lift women and to give them a new horizon, a new ambition and new dreams, in respect of all of that, I think we’ve accomplished it, and I feel very good about that.
115
I would certainly say that films like Time Code and the Loss of Sexual Innocence were far more rewarding to me in terms of being able to move forward as a filmmaker.
116
117
118
When people tell me that I must get my maverick gene from my father, they are only half right. My father and I both have inherited our rebellious personalities from Nana. She has always lived her life on her own terms, something that was once considered quite scandalous, given the times she grew up in.
119
120
121
122
For complicated historical and political reasons, we associate ‘poor‘ in our public consciousness with ‘black.’ Terms such as ‘welfare queen‘ and ‘culture of poverty’ became associated uniquely with the social maladies of African Americans in urban ghettos, despite the fact that poor whites outnumbered poor blacks.
123
Some people say there was no jazz tenor before me. All I know is I just had a way of playing and I didn’t think in terms of any other instrument but the tenor.
124

125
In terms of fitness and battling through cancer, exercise helps you stay strong physically and mentally.
126
127
128
129
Everybody is constantly putting themselves under a microscope in terms of their productivity and their financial success and this whole idea of ‘Picture Me Better,’ like picture me, you know, who I’m supposed to be versus, you know, just accepting who we all are.
130
131
132
It’s very confusing when fame comes early on in your career. You get a little bit bent out of shape in terms of what’s important. Fame is like the dessert that comes with your achievements – it’s not an achievement in itself, but sometimes it can overpower the work.
133
I want to give myself the best chance to finish on my own terms.
134
In terms of being a professional, I want to be professional with everyone.
135
136
Generally, you want to raise capital either when you have to or when it’s really easy. If the company desperately needs money, and they can’t figure out any other way, then they need to raise money. Or if someone’s offering you easy money on good terms, you should take it because you can use it for good things.
137
In terms of stories I would buy for a science fiction magazine, if they take place in the future, that might do it.
138
Conservatives define themselves in terms of what they oppose.
139
Part of the lesbian consciousness is an absolute recognition of the erotic within our lives and, taking that a step further, dealing with the erotic not only in sexual terms.
140
141
142
Leg day is my favorite day. You can’t have a thorough leg workout without feeling completely spent. It’s a challenge, but the benefits of maintain muscle mass on my legs is important because, as the biggest muscle group in the body, it also helps me keep the proper body composition in terms of fat to muscle ratio.
143
144
There are always women who will take men on their own terms. If I were a man I wouldn’t bother to change while there are women like that around.
145
In spite of the haze of speculation, it is still something of a shock to find myself here, coming to terms with an enormous trust placed in my hands and with the inevitable sense of inadequacy that goes with that.
146
Everyone with a cell phone thinks they’re a photographer. Everyone with a laptop thinks they’re a journalist. But they have no training, and they have no idea of what we keep to in terms of standards, as in what’s far out and what’s reality. And they have no dedication to truth.
147
148
149
150
Over the course of two terms, President Reagan revolutionized the Republican Party and changed the political atmosphere in a way still being felt today.
151
152
In terms of segments, I think we’ve done 1,200.
153
The Roman Empire was very, very much like us. They lost their moral core, their sense of values in terms of who they were. And after all of those things converged together, they just went right down the tubes very quickly.
154
Many of my fellow atheists consider all talk of ‘spirituality‘ or ‘mysticism‘ to be synonymous with mental illness, conscious fraud, or self-deception. I have argued elsewhere that this is a problem – because millions of people have had experiences for which ‘spiritual’ and ‘mystical‘ seem the only terms available.
155
The status quo tough-on-crime policies of the ’90s and 2000s are not working and are not popular. And it provides me with hope about the possibilities for San Francisco and this whole country in terms of moving away from our dependence on prisons and jails to solve social problems.
156
157
158
I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool.

164
165
Now when you have administrators deciding what sexuality is, and what’s a taboo and what’s not in terms of content, you got guys, like, Trent Lott who equates homosexuality with a disease.
166
And every now and then people find the bugs, and they interpret those as cool failures in the Sims terms. For them it’s like a treasure hunt, you know.
167
It might interest you to know that the 1828 Noah Webster Dictionary identifies the optimist in complimentary terms, but says nothing about the pessimist. The word ‘pessimist’ was not in our vocabulary at that time. It’s a modern ‘invention‘ which I believe we should ‘dis-invent.’
168
The avant-garde theater is fun; it is free-swinging, bold, iconoclastic, and often wildly, wildly funny. If you will approach it with childlike innocence – putting your standard responses aside, for they do not apply – if you will approach it on its own terms, I think you will be in for a liberating surprise.
169
You have to believe in yourself. You have to go out there and love what you are and who you know you are in terms of your craft.
170
It seems to me that good novels celebrate the mystery in ordinary life, and summing it all up in psychological terms strips the mystery away.
171
172
173
Conservatives divide the world in terms of good and evil while liberals do it in terms of the rich and poor.
174
Well, I think the president is going to do well in terms of his influence for positive change here in the Congress, making sure that we don’t overspend, making sure that we spend for only those programs that are justified.
175
176
When I was young, we didn’t have indie games. We had ‘garage developers‘ or similar terms, who were just small teams making games out of passion.
177
178
Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they’ve ever been in terms of what I can do.
179
The proposition is that prices reflect all available information, which in simple terms means since prices reflect all available information, there’s no way to beat the market.
180
181
182
So anyway, I’ve learned a lot about myself just in terms of acting but just work ethic and interesting things like full-page monologues or talking straight into camera, which I had never gotten to do before.
183
What is portraiture? It’s choice. It’s the ability to position your body in the world for the world to celebrate you on your own terms.
184
185
186
I make moves on my terms.
187
We’ve not given any attention to the people in their 50s and 60s, who need attention, education and engagement, in terms of the society and in terms of their identity as human beings.
188
189
I think as an actor you have to be open to your emotions – that’s how you tap into other characters. Besides, by being so open I’ve come to terms with how screwed I am!
190
191
We get more dangerous as we accumulate knowledge, and that’s both a sadness and something to control, try to learn to live with, make terms with.
192
193
In terms of intellectual property, so many of the job creators I know are start-ups. In the IP setting, we can meaningfully improve on the status quo, and in so doing, we can help small businesses, large businesses, and those in between.
194
The promise of American opportunity and prosperity means something different to each of us. What we each envision varies in terms of wants and needs, and aspirations can change over time. But we all want to see our children have more opportunities than we had.
195
Take life on life’s terms – one day at a time. And have fun while you’re doing it.
196
We were going to have to experiment, and we needed to develop our younger players. And a lot of the changes were because of injuries. But that’s where I give a lot of credit to the group in terms of being able to maintain things.
197
In any merger, when you have large organisations coming together, there will be challenges in terms of culture.
198
The whole of science, and one is tempted to think the whole of the life of any thinking man, is trying to come to terms with the relationship between yourself and the natural world. Why are you here, and how do you fit in, and what’s it all about.
199
My great hope for my speck of time on this planet would be that I live and die, and that what I leave behind has made some kind of impression and has been for the better in terms of my family and friends and, in my case, public service.
200
The first need of a free people is to define their own terms.
201
202
In terms of development of the company, the vast majority of our sales are in the Far East and we will expect to strengthen our activities there, perhaps even moving some of our engineering activities abroad.
203
The dualism itself becomes a sort of presupposition or datum; its terms condition the further problem.
204
205
206
Witness protection just makes for exciting stories and it’s a really rich sort of place to grab stories from… people starting over completely, saying goodbye to their lives before… it never ends in terms of story opportunities.
207
Unless you come to terms with your past… it haunts you, and you never leave it.
208
My father never wanted me to be a writer. He didn’t – he came to terms with it maybe two years before he died. He wanted me to be a weather girl because when I was growing up, there were very few Latinas on television, and in the early ’70s when you first started seeing Latinas on TV, they would be the weather girls.
209
Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.
210
A lot of the work in, say, construction or restaurants involves visual and motor flexibility. It also requires adaptability, in terms of answering questions, giving people directions, or taking orders.
211
212
213
214
The ABC of our profession is to avoid these large abstract terms in order to try to discover behind them the only concrete realities, which are human beings.

The musician – if he be a good one – finds his own perception prompted by the poet’s perception, and he translates the expression of that perception from the terms of poetry into the terms of music.
216
217
Popular culture is a contradiction in terms. If it’s popular, it’s not culture.
218
219
I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don’t think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money.
220
Imagine the action of a vaccine not just in terms of how it affects a single body, but also in terms of how it affects the collective body of a community.
221
222
223
224
TV is such a great medium in what it can do in terms of enlightening an audience. We can really inspire and teach people about other people. That’s a powerful tool, and that’s something that the arts has always been capable of doing.
225
Success means at least you are finding full potential to who you are in terms of your intelligence, your capability and competence: you are finding full expression to who you are. This is important.
226
I love Australia; it was a really, really nice experience for me. It’s such a beautiful place. The people are beautiful – like, really beautiful – and they are beautiful in terms of their personalities. It’s a great place to be. It’s like you are in a little bit of a dream world.
227
228
And then as I frequently do, some times I’ll peek out from underneath the focusing cloth and just look around the edges of the frame that I’m not seeing, see if there’s something that should be adjusted in terms of changing the camera position.
229
I can think of films that I’m producing right now that are extremely hard-hitting, graphic films, that nobody necessarily wants to see, graphic in terms of violence, of adult content and racial and historical subject matter.
230
Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.
231
I know it’s very idealistic and utopian, but I believe we need to just let everyone not be judged in terms of religion, groups or nations or region.
232
In terms of publicity and interviews, well, it’s really hard in this modern world to keep a sense of mystery.
233
234
I know this might sound absurd, but since I’ve been famous, I believe I’ve only been on two dates that would be considered a ‘first date.’ It’s not the way I’ve ever really engaged in terms of romantic relationships.
235
I’m thinking in terms of a point of departure, a field of action for performers to express an expressive need of mine which hopefully the context of music would convey.
236
Corporate social responsibility is measured in terms of businesses improving conditions for their employees, shareholders, communities, and environment. But moral responsibility goes further, reflecting the need for corporations to address fundamental ethical issues such as inclusion, dignity, and equality.
237
238
239
I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities. In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger.
240
I was too naive when I started out. It was hard to understand the workings of the industry. But rejection and ridicule pushed me to discover my individuality. I wanted success on my terms.
241
242
243
A myth is an image in terms of which we try to make sense of the world.
244

245
My ideas tend to be either really big in terms of like, the logistics, or really small.
246
Hindi cinema hasn’t moved at all in terms of roles for actresses beyond 18 years.
247
248
Real Madrid has a lot of high expectations, not only in terms of results but also with nice football and a lot of goals.
249
250
251
Nations without a past are contradictions in terms. What makes a nation is the past, what justifies one nation against others is the past, and historians are the people who produce it.
252
253
TV is changing in terms of how we are consuming sports. Appointment viewing no longer exists, as between social media and the Internet, people already have the news and can get the highlights – so now people want the opinions.
254
255
A ‘philosophical dictionary‘ is not a dictionary of philosophy that you use to look up obscure thinkers or recondite terms. It is a collection of brief and pithy essays on diverse topics, informed by one vision, and usually arranged in alphabetical order.
256
What I wanted was for everyone listening to understand that these things mattered – not necessarily for me, but in this particular forum they mattered in terms of whether of not we were getting a person who should sit on the Supreme Court.
257
258
There have been some positive things that have happened for the tribes, but it’s a constant, vigilant fight about protecting what resources we have in terms of land and rights.
259
I think PSP is going to be the most successful handheld entertainment device ever. What it will do in terms of the versatility, obviously you can download music to it, and you’ll be able to enjoy all your great tunes on it.
260
In terms of mathematics textbooks, why can’t you have the scale of a national market? Right now, we have a Texas textbook that’s different from a California textbook that’s different from a Massachusetts textbook. That’s very expensive.
261
262
I have pushed the boat out as far as I should in terms of taking on too many things. I’m getting older and I just could not take it any more. I am now monitoring myself very closely and I’m just trying not to get into that sort of state again.
263
264
265
I thought in terms of the enthusiasm of doing it. I didn’t think about whether I was ready.
266
267
268
If you stop trying to restrict yourself by defining yourself and love in other people’s terms, it’s the most liberating thing.
269

271
My hope is that we continue to do an even better job in terms of our nation’s energy policy, so that we may even further reduce our reliance on foreign sources of oil and take better care of our environment in the process.
272
I sang in the coffee houses of the country in the early ’60s with no idea of success in terms of records or television. I just thought I was a storyteller. I didn’t even think of myself as a singer.
273
274
In terms of individuals who actually inspired me, very few of the academic people that I had access to had that power over me. Maybe it’s simply because I wasn’t that committed to geometry.
275
Acting is such a personal thing, which is weird because at the same time it’s not. It’s for the consumption of other people. But in terms of creative outlets and expressing yourself, it’s just the most extreme version of that that I’ve ever found. It’s like running, it’s exertion.
276
Prada is extremely directed in terms of communicating what they like and what they don’t like. That is actually extremely pleasant because it clarifies very easily what you can do and what you need to do.
277
I mean yes to act out something or take chances in the performance is one thing. But in terms of a camera, whatever’s captured is captured so that’s a little more daunting.
278
279
280
281
I have come to terms with all the complications of my life.
282
Biology is far from understanding exactly how a single cell develops into a baby, but research suggests that human development can ultimately be explained in terms of biochemistry and molecular biology. Most scientists would make a similar statement about evolution.
283
I directed a short series for Hulu called ‘Paloma,’ and being in an editing room, I learned a lot about acting. It gave me a new bolt of energy in terms of my interest in filmmaking because it made me realize how collaborative filmmaking can be and also that you’re not just limited to one job.
284
285
286
To think Being itself explicitly requires disregarding Being to the extent that it is only grounded and interpreted in terms of beings and for beings as their ground, as in all metaphysics.
287
Every job I took, I was deeply uncomfortable in terms of feeling unqualified. Every step, every risk I took, built confidence.
288
When it comes to power, God Himself is the power. God often uses foolish things to confound the wise. That is why people like me will ever be grateful to God. In terms of knowledge, education and name, I am nowhere – a neglected stone.
289
Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement.
290
291
Attack politics costs us dearly in terms of insight into the candidates. In a presidential campaign, the focus is so tight that the politicians are afraid to say anything that hasn’t been scripted.
292
293
I find this in all these places I’ve been travelling – from India to China, to Japan and Europe and to Brazil – there is a frustration with the terms of public discourse, with a kind of absence of discussion of questions of justice and ethics and of values.
294
When I left the show, the fans were so amazing in terms of the outpouring of support and continued support all that time whatever ways they could be in touch with me.
295
296
297
I feel like more than 80% of the world wouldn’t get up in front of 40 million people and dance on national television, and if I have the confidence to do that then that’s a step ahead in my life for me in terms of personal goals. I will gain a lot of confidence on all aspects right there.
298
299
I often avoid using the terms ‘figuration’ and ‘abstraction‘ because I’ve always tried to have it both ways. I want the experience of looking at one of my paintings to be similar to the process of making the painting – you go from the big picture to something very intense and detailed, and then back again.
300
All the major problems of the world today are global in essence, and they cannot be solved unless through some kind of global cooperation. It’s not just climate change, which is, like, the most obvious example people give. I think more in terms of technological disruption.
301
A major focus of ‘Reality Hunger‘ is appropriation and plagiarism and what these terms mean. I can hardly treat the topic deeply without engaging in it. That would be like writing a book about lying and not being permitted to lie in it.
302
I think also there was a lot of coming to terms with where I am in life, where I fit in as a gay man in America, and getting more comfortable with who I am.
303
The most important film I made, in terms of its subject and the great responsibility I had as an actor, was a film I did about the founder of Pakistan called ‘Jinnah.’
304
305
I looked the people of Louisiana in the eye and told them exactly what I thought in terms that normal people use.
306
The notion of having your muse was not something that was built for women originally. That’s not to say women don’t have muses. I get muses in terms of actors or writers who inspire me, so I understand the concept.
307
308
The worth of a civilization or a culture is not valued in the terms of its material wealth or military power, but by the quality and achievements of its representative individuals – its philosophers, its poets and its artists.
309
I think it’s impossible to judge whether another person should come out. You just hope they will on their own time and their own terms.
310
311
312
An artist’s only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else‘s.
313
If the lives of men can be measured in terms of years, ideologies in decades, and nations in centuries, then the unit measuring civilizations, born of the interaction among peoples, would be the millennium.
314
Brazil has one of the greatest natural patrimonies in terms of biodiversity.
315
In terms of the production, the style I use is what I see as the ‘Lisa Stansfield sound’ and I would hope that when anyone puts on one of my songs they don’t even have to listen to my voice to know this is a Lisa Stansfield song, because of the way it sounds.
316
I learned that we can do anything, but we can’t do everything… at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.
317
318
Half of us are partly German! Half our language and culture, generally, in Anglo-Saxon terms, is German.
319
You know honestly I think there’s a Dracula, a Wolf Man, and a Frankenstein‘s Monster in all of us. They are sides of our own character so that’s why I think we can relate to them in terms of a ‘I know how that feels’ kind of thing.
320
In terms of establishing a connection between a therapist and a patient, that work needs to be done in person.
321
There’s a flipside to this; if you as an individual have the right to live on your own terms, you must have the right to both succeed and fail on them.
322
I take after my mother more than my father in terms of personality. My mother’s a worrier, and I’m a worrier. Both were very good with numbers and mathematics, so I kind of got that from both of them.
323
I know very well that Berlin attaches great importance to NATO and solidarity, in terms of sharing the burden. For this reason, I feel confident that the German government will take the right decision, one that serves both German and NATO interests.
324
I don’t really think in terms of obstacles. My biggest obstacle is always myself.
325
326
I will say I remember the best thing in terms of publicity was being on the cover of Newsweek.
327
I think my mother… made it clear that you have to live life by your own terms and you have to not worry about what other people think and you have to have the courage to do the unexpected.
328
In terms of my marriage, you know, falling in love with my husband was by far the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
329
330
331
Good morning is a contradiction of terms.
332
333
334
335
To describe the overwhelming life of a tropical forest just in terms of inert biochemistry and DNA didn’t seem to give a very full picture of the world.
336
The notion that one will not survive a particular catastrophe is, in general terms, a comfort since it is equivalent to abolishing the catastrophe.
337
‘Camp’ is a vision of the world in terms of style – but a particular style. It is the love of the exaggerated.
338
339
The romantic person instinctively sees marriage in terms of emotions, but what a couple actually gets up to together over a lifetime has much more in common with the workings of a small business. They must draw up work rosters, clean, chauffeur, cook, fix, throw away, mind, hire, fire, reconcile, and budget.
340
In terms of ‘Seinfeld‘, I think there’s lot of reality in a show that’s supposed to be about nothing.
341
342
343
344
In terms of sustainability and what we eat and what its footprint is on the environment and the consequences of eating one thing versus another, obviously it makes a lot of sense to be eating insects. They’re incredibly plentiful. They’ve got a very short turnover rate. You could be eating termites.
345
I think the parts that I played sort of broke the mould in terms of – you know, I played grey characters, the bad girl with a good heart, there was a good reason for her to be bad.
346
347
We tend to talk, Democrats, as a party, in legislative terms.
348
Communism counts its opportunities in terms of decades – not of weeks. Its means of aggression consist not only of nuclear weapons and missiles with enormous boosters, and not only of spies, agents and terrorists, but of great masses of men and women, deluded by a common ideology which inspires them with a false hope.
349
350
351
I began composing works which were imitative of the music I was being told about. I was also very interested in translating the music into visual terms.
352
353
I may have more than one friend with benefits. It’s very healthy for the heart. I think no matter how old you are – and I am pretty up there in terms of numbers – I think you should do whatever makes you happy.
354
I love playing in Fantomas, which is very strict in terms of composition.
355
356
I think everybody has their own way of looking at their lives as some kind of pilgrimage. Some people will see their role as a pilgrim in terms of setting up a fine family, or establishing a business inheritance. Everyone’s got their own definition.
357
358
I don’t say we are a defensive team. I say we are a strong team in defensive terms, but at the same time lacking sufficient fluidity in attack because that will take time to come.
359
360
Political art – not always a contradiction in terms – can destroy institutions, or eat away at them.
361
362
363
364
I suggested that we might compare earthquakes in terms of the measured amplitudes recorded at these stations, with an appropriate correction for distance.
365
I wanted to get away from the Mexican vernacular and do more ‘nuevo Latino.’ Americans are starting to understand regionality in Mexican food. It is very regional in terms of ingredients.
366
367
One of the most important things for me in terms of my working method is doubt. I get very insecure about my ideas. And I don’t say ‘insecure’ in kind of a paranoid way. I mean just: ‘Are they good enough?’ ‘Is this the right thing to do?’ I really beat myself up over that.
368
I learned years ago to come to terms with having so much done for me by others.
369
I’ve always wanted to be a DJ so I could play the music I love for other people. That feeling hasn’t changed, but my sets are always evolving. In terms of tailoring to a specific crowd, certainly I do play differently depending on the situation. It’s a different feel, for example, in a small club versus a festival.
370
I’m thinking of a legacy that I can be proud of and wealth that my grandchildren can use to go to college. So world domination – in terms of providing for my family – is absolutely my goal.
371
No other terms than unconditional and immediate surrender. I propose to move immediately upon your works.
372
As much as I loathe this aging thing, I’m beginning to recognize that I am now a healthier person in terms of self-worth and knowing who I am and where I fit in the world. That’s been a good trade-off for the wrinkles.
373
I had a teacher who stressed for me the importance of diction in terms of… I want to be very careful about how I say this… in terms of supporting one’s voice when one is singing. In other words, if you hold on to your words, your voice will pull through for you when you’re singing. So be true to your vowels.
374
The key to accepting responsibility for your life is to accept the fact that your choices, every one of them, are leading you inexorably to either success or failure, however you define those terms.
375
The show is not so clean cut in terms of good and bad. That is the theme that runs through the show. Loki is taking down the TVA, but is it the right decision?
376
377
378
The Industrial Age is not sustainable. It’s not sustainable in ecological terms, and it’s not sustainable in human terms.
379
My mom and dad met at U. Conn., and their lives couldn’t have been more different in terms of their upbringing.
380
381
I just saw the emotion in everything, so I got to feel everything that was going on and that I was viewing, but I couldn’t think in terms of structure, which is the whole point of deep focus.
382
Women who love women are Lesbians. Men, because they can only think of women in sexual terms, define Lesbian as sex between women.
383
A lot has happened over the years. And while this nation has been tested by war, and it’s been tested by recession and all manner of challenges – I stand before you again tonight, after almost two terms as your president, to tell you I am more optimistic about the future of America than ever before.
384
385
People that are able to think in terms of concepts and offer us valuable forms of art are very exciting to me.
386
I think judicial temperament is a willingness to step back from your own committed views of the correct jurisprudential approach and evaluate those views in terms of your role as a judge. It’s the difference between being a judge and being a law professor.
387
I’ve had my differences with the NBA in terms of cryptocurrency and contractual things.
388
389
My own feeling is we need more compassion, we need more empathy, we need more togetherness, in terms of working together.
390
When I get depressed, I try to get something for the terrible sadness that comes over me and create something in terms of poetry.
391
392
If physical power be the fountain of law, then law and force are synonymous terms. Or, perhaps, rather, law would be the result of a combination of will and force; of will, united with a physical power sufficient to compel obedience to it, but not necessarily having any moral character whatever.
393
People relate to the spirit of the band, which is to live your way and succeed on your own terms. There’s no hypocrisy in being successful and still railing against conformity.
394
I believe coming up to heavyweight, I can shine. That’s where I feel the best in terms of being agile, speed, cardio, all that kind of stuff plus I have the power.
395
Tourism is our second biggest industry in terms of the people it employs.
396
Superheroes fill a gap in the pop culture psyche, similar to the role of Greek mythology. There isn’t really anything else that does the job in modern terms. For me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously.
397
I got as much information as I could, so I wouldn’t look stupid, but this is a post 9/11 world and there’s only so much you can do with the FBI in terms of research.
398
Visual representation of it is essential if we’re to come to terms with what it is we’ve done.
399
400
I’m very happy doing what I do. And if I were in the White House I would be really interested in continuing to do what I do, which is working… That’s a very cold answer, I guess, but I was trying to answer in terms of ambition.
401
Nobody can be kinder than the narcissist while you react to life in his own terms.
402
To go somewhere where nobody knows you, and to keep your eyes open… That was a beautiful concept in terms of putting yourself in a place to be inspired.
403
404
405
406
Often we mistake stability, in terms of security and economic activity, to mean a country is doing well. We forget the third and important pillar: rule of law and respect for human rights.
407
408
409
I think there’s no higher calling in terms of a career than public service, which is a chance to make a difference in people’s lives and improve the world.
410
We’re not thought of in terms of color because we are entertainers. We are there to entertain you not because we are black, white, pink, or green or gay or straight or because we are Catholic or Protestant.
411
412
For me, privacy and security are really important. We think about it in terms of both: You can’t have privacy without security.
413
To probe for unconscious determinants of behavior and then define a man in their terms exclusively, ignoring his overt behavior altogether, is a greater distortion than ignoring the unconscious completely.
414
In some mysterious way woods have never seemed to me to be static things. In physical terms, I move through them; yet in metaphysical ones, they seem to move through me.
415
I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being ‘someone’s girlfriend’, and now I am happy being single.
416
I try not to think of my life in terms of separation.
417
I think in the case of my father, in terms of the things that influenced me, he never pressed me to go into academics or pressed me to go to a field, and indeed, my behavior was largely to move as far the other direction. I don’t think that’s uncommon with people with very successful parents.
418
Humour and high seriousness… Perfect bedfellows, I think. Though I usually phrase it in terms of comedy and darkness. Comedy without darkness rapidly becomes trivial. And darkness without comedy rapidly becomes unbearable.
419
We must develop huge demonstrations, because the world is used to big dramatic affairs. They think in terms of hundreds of thousands and millions and billions… Billions of dollars are appropriated at the twinkling of an eye. Nothing little counts.
420
421
I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.
422
I’ve been in and out of hospitals a lot in terms of family or extended family or myself.
423
424
I play the harmonium. I had learned to use the guitar for a bit before becoming a part of the music industry, but unfortunately didn’t pursue it fully. I would love to learn to play the piano because it holds a unique connect for me in terms of rhythm.
425
And the actual achievements of biology are explanations in terms of mechanisms founded on physics and chemistry, which is not the same thing as explanations in terms of physics and chemistry.
426
I always was very interested in intellect and the massive world of knowledge out there, but in terms of being a kid who wanted to be treated as an equal, school is not the place.
427
428
I love to sing and I really love to write, but in terms of being onstage, I’m not that comfortable, which I think is sort of clear.
429
Filipinos are not worse than any other colonized people except that our colonization was a little longer, and the independence movement was always dictated in political terms, never in social ones. We borrowed terms, but we didn’t understand them.
430
Urbanization is not about simply increasing the number of urban residents or expanding the area of cities. More importantly, it’s about a complete change from rural to urban style in terms of industry structure, employment, living environment and social security.
431
In terms of playing ability there is nothing to choose between number one and 100. Instead, it’s a question of who believes and who wants it more? Which player is mentally stronger? Which player is going to fight the hardest in the big points? These are the things that determine who is the champion.
432
Well, the coolest thing I have seen so far, in terms of, like, me being an astronaut and seeing something unusual, was the rendezvous, the docking of a Progress spaceship.
433
I was with the former president for over 54 years. I don’t regret that; I feel very proud. It was necessary. It is history. Each step where we worked together was a privilege, and in terms of history, that was necessary.
434
435
I think we have got to start thinking about banding together in terms of interested groups.
436
437
Regarding the visa-free regime, it has undoubtedly become a problem for the European Union, above all in terms of its capacity to reach agreements.
438
And so in terms of territorial control, in terms of economic preeminence, the western share of the gross world product is declining as Asian societies in particular develop economically.
439
440
When I think back on it, of course I got lucky and got great directors and good breaks but all that was the physical part. But what made me a star was that I could take a chance and not have anything to worry about in terms of losing.
441
Sometimes I feel a bit socially disconnected in terms of being a little bit gullible about how people interrelate emotionally.
442
It was necessary to bluff the Japanese camp commanders, with whatever authority I could muster, that I had come officially to ensure that the surrender terms were being complied with and that living conditions for the POWs were being immediately improved.
443
Nuclear energy, in terms of an overall safety record, is better than other energy.
444
The Crystal Cathedral is not an attempt to be an architectural ego-statement. It’s probably the ultimate spiritual and psychological statement that could be made in architectural terms.
445
446
The Coke bottle is a masterpiece of scientific, functional planning. In simpler terms, I would describe the bottle as well thought out, logical, sparing of material and pleasant to look at.
447
Success is to bring into existence, in adult terms, your childhood dreams.
448
449
There’s a lot of history here. In terms of Asians in this country, you have a big influx after the Cultural Revolution, a big influx after the Korean War, a big influx after the Vietnam War.
450
I’d like to see great textbooks, great opportunities for kids to really understand stock market investing, because at the end of the day, they are going to be all they have in terms of creating a life for themselves, a retirement account, and things like that.
451
452
I was privileged in terms of where I grew up, and I come from a very loving, supportive household. But when I began to go off the rails at boarding school, my behaviour wasn’t a result of an upbringing but more something that was going on within me.
453
Sympathetic cracks. A term frequently used by architects and surveyors in terms of ageing houses. I know what they mean.
454
The candidates we have in this campaign are… the most accomplished, in terms of public service, that we’ve had since 1960. One of them will be successful.
455
456
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.
457
458
459
In terms of helping people understand and know each other a little better, music is universal – universal and transporting.
460
All the roles that I have acted in were all special in a different way. But the role of Ri Jeong-hyeok had more warmth and innocence compared to the other roles that I have acted. I think it was more special in terms of expressing the role.
461
You go to Scandinavia, and you will find that people have a much higher standard of living, in terms of education, health care and decent paying jobs.
462
463
464
465
Expression, to a great extent, is a matter of terms, and terms are anyone’s. The meaning of ‘God’ may have a billion interpretations if there be that many souls in the world.
466
467
Education in India has made monumental progress since Independence but continues to face daunting challenges at multiple levels, particularly in terms of quality, infrastructure and dropout rates. We have islands of excellence floating in a sea of mediocrity.
468
There are people who say, ‘Oh this guy is quite thick.’ I think the reason is that, increasingly, I don’t mind being simple in terms of literary expression. Others say, ‘No, no, no. He went to Cambridge. He got a good degree. He must be Einstein.’
469
Ay, ay, the best terms will grow obsolete: damns have had their day.
470
471
In terms of the first Christmas when I met everybody, I went over to Nick‘s grandfather‘s house where they were having the big Christmas dinner, and they have this tradition of this thing called oyster stew.
472
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.
473
474
475
476
I find it difficult to judge myself, but people say that I have become a bit more socially acceptable over the years in terms of my material; which apparently at the beginning – though I never really intended it to be – was man hating and now is just a bit more cuddly.
477
Perhaps one reason we are fascinated by cats is because such a small animal can contain so much independence, dignity, and freedom of spirit. Unlike the dog, the cat’s personality is never bet on a human’s. He demands acceptance on his own terms.
478
479
480
481
Most of our history in space has been communicated in terms of action – what people do, a chronological list of events which have transpired – as opposed to the human experience of having done those things.
482
483
To me, my peers are Bruce Springsteen and Mick Jagger. I’m not talking age-wise, but in terms of careers. Madonna. Those are my peers. And I’m okay with that.
484
485
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.
486
487
Americans have an interesting conundrum, a black and white line: You’re on one side or the other of Puritanism or licentiousness. But that gray area where people abide, between their ears or on the Internet, needs to be fleshed out more in terms of permission granted.
488
I use color in terms of emotional quality, as a vehicle for feeling… feeling is everything I have experienced or thought.
489
490
It’s difficult for me to feel that a solid page without the breakups of paragraphs can be interesting. I break mine up perhaps sooner than I should in terms of the usage of the English language.
491
There has never been a campaign where there hasn’t been sniping from the outside and second-guessing. I hear the same sometimes from the Democratic side in terms of President Obama‘s campaign, so that’s to be expected.
492
Growing, for leaders, is like oxygen to a deep sea diver. Without learning and growing, leaders die in terms of their effectiveness.
493
494
495
496
I’ve been a reporter for 20 years, and I don’t ever get things wrong. That’s important in terms of my professional status.
497
My story is going to be completely different than someone else’s story in terms of hard work. What I might feel like is hard work, another person is dying to do.
498
I think everyone needs to feel they’ve created something that was their own, on their own terms.
499
Our soul is not united to our body in the ordinary sense of these terms. It is immediately and directly united to God alone.
500
I think she said I should seek help. Something like that, but it was in much cruder terms. And that I had a fascination with things coming out of people’s mouths.
501
I put up a huge wall of denial. It was years before I was able to break through it… accepting that your child has a disability, especially one like LD that cannot be seen or easily diagnosed, is one of the hardest things to come to terms with.
502
I usually talk about clothes in terms of a story rather than a colour.
503
When you make that choice of stepping out and facing the issue of disclosure, you do create this kind of self-imposed negative fear. It’s unfortunate it still happens today. ‘Do I step out and say I’m a gay guy?’ But you have got to do it and live your life on your terms and no one else’s terms.
504
The Canadian run can be no different, at least in terms of actual running.
505
506
507
I’m really excited to see what the future hold for me in terms of work. It’s going to be hard, but it’s going to be good hard work, and I’m really excited for the challenge that awaits me.
508
509
A lot of my emotional issues come from dealing with the opposite sex. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll be retired before I can finally enter into a healthy relationship.
510
511
In the simplest terms, a leader is one who knows where she wants and gets up and goes.
512
513
It has taken me most of my adult life to come to terms with who I am. To do that, I had to break free of attitudes that brought me down.
514
I look at the story, I look at the idea and just try to think of it in terms of that whole body of myth and see where the characters fit in and what they ought to be doing-all those archetypes are there to play with.
515
They become the keepers of the mystery. They place themselves between the communicants of the religion, and the immediate experience. And then they dictate the terms on which you can have contact with this wonderful mystery. We don’t dictate those terms.
516
As a former member of the IRA, I accept all the responsibilities that are due to me. But in terms of the individual circumstances, I don’t comment on that.
517
Explain to me what Italian-American culture is. We’ve been here 100 years. Isn’t Italian-American culture American culture? That’s because we’re so diverse, in terms of intermarriage.
518
If my life depended on being a social-media person in terms of talking myself up, I probably would be in trouble because – not that I wouldn’t be able to step up to it – but I wouldn’t love it. I wouldn’t want to be that person; that wouldn’t be my natural thing.
519
‘Hannity’ had a a guy on that said, ‘I fathered 20 kids by 14 mothers.’ That is s cultural issue which has demeaned our society and has caused our society dearly in terms of imprisonment. Who’s going to be the fathers to those children? Who’s going to pay child support?
520
Other kinds of movie stars, it’s a different thing, they bring their persona to the part and that’s what people like to see, and they are not really transforming in terms of their character.
521
522
