A lot of science fiction is very accessible and very readable, but a lot of people are justifiably put off by the covers of spaceships – though that never put me off.

15
I have a utilitarian approach to dressing; as long as I quite like it and it covers me up, I don’t care what it is.
16
The art editor in charge of the covers at the ‘New Yorker‘ is Francoise Mouly. She’s very familiar with the eccentricities and personalities of cartoonists, so working with her is very easy.

Our oceans cover two-thirds of what my grandfather called our water planet, and the part of the ocean that falls under the jurisdiction of the United States covers an area larger than the country itself.

I went to a seminar early in my career on the craft of storytelling by Robert McKee. It was really life altering. There are basic principles on how to craft an engaging story and he covers them well. He’s got a book out, ‘Story,’ that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in improve their storytelling.
22
My grandmother loved country music, and she’s the one who really got me into country music. She had George Strait tapes, a bunch of them. I remember listening to tapes, taking them out, the covers and the back.

I did about 2000 covers altogether, for all sorts of books – from Shakespeare to James Bond – and I always had the idea that I must give 100%, no matter who the author was.

Wells Fargo‘s internal review only covers unauthorized accounts dating back to 2011. News reports and court documents suggest these problems might have existed long before then. The 2013 ‘Los Angeles Times’ articles led to the L.A. city attorney‘s office investigation into Wells Fargo’s sales practices.

I remember when our first album came out. After one of our gigs, we went across the border to Mexico and the band in the bar where we were was doing covers of our songs. I don’t think they understood a word they were singing but they did the songs perfectly.

I went from a guy, kind of a working actor, a supporting player, to magazine covers and being offered the studio pictures really quickly. Nobody was comfortable with it. I wasn’t really comfortable with it.
43
You go to the airport and look at the bookstand, and you feel the titles are similar, the covers are similar, and you wonder how they can be different.
44
45
I remember when I was about 12, I read M. R. James’ ‘Ghost Stories Of An Antiquary’ under the covers, way too young to fully understand what was going on with those stories – completely terrified but absolutely loved them.

If you want to be taken seriously and gain credibility, you really do have to try and write yourself. I don’t want to do an album of covers and stuff.
51
What I like about non-fiction is that it covers such a huge territory. The best non-fiction is also creative.
52
I like to work in a team. And for that you must have a structure that covers everything and that there is fluid communication.
53
54
General David Petraeus was so successful at getting on covers of magazines, having journalists fall in love with him, that in fact he was able to use that power to go around the normal chain of command.
55
56
I never took any guitar lessons or anything; I never really learned to play covers. I’m actually happy that I never took lessons as a kid. Now, I’d like to take lessons to kind of go deeper. But I think sometimes lessons can steal a person’s personality away, because they’re trying to do things so technically.

I have a 6-year-old niece who doesn’t look like the majority of girls on the covers of magazines. I hope that by the time she’s 16, the world will have changed.
60
The easiest thing to do in the world is pull the covers up over your head and go back to sleep.
61
One of my favorite album covers is Miguel’s ‘Wildheart.’
62

64
I love ghost stories. I remember when I was about 12, I read M. R. James’ ‘Ghost Stories Of An Antiquary’ under the covers, way too young to fully understand what was going on with those stories, completely terrified but absolutely loved them.

As an artist, it is heartwarming to see other artists appreciate your work by making covers and renditions of your original track.
69
My favorite thing to do is rip the covers off a script when reading for writers to hire and make everybody read without names on the covers of the script. I can’t tell you how many times my writers, women and men, will pick people of color and women much more often than they would with a cover on the script.
70
You promote your films; it’s part of your job. You do the magazine covers and stuff, and then I try to live a really normal life. I definitely don’t try to make it into any more craziness than it is.
71
72
73
I mean, casting gender non-conforming people in campaigns and editorials and on covers of magazines is a risk for any business because there’s going to be controversy, but I think they need to take the risk and believe they’re moving in the right direction.
74

I like to say that I do covers of my own songs. And I have about a dozen bands all over the world. That’s no exaggeration. I have a South African band, an Australian band, Swedish bands, English bands, American bands. They’re all notable musicians, too.
78
79
I have never been a major fashionista, but I love a suit, and I did have one made for me by the tailor Stephen Williams. The great thing about a bespoke suit is that it covers up my pot belly. When I buy a suit, I’ll pick shoes, belt, tie, shirt and socks, and that will be what I always wear with it.
80
The uniform makes for brotherhood, since when universally adopted it covers up all differences of class and country.
81
82
83
One of the most amazing things about ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend‘ is that every song is an original. There are no covers. I think ‘Glee’ had to deal with forcing covers into their plotlines. That can be difficult to pull off.
84
85
86
From playing bass guitar in a covers band in Israel… to my various partnerships with media companies, investment companies, governments etc. all over the world, I’ve been extremely lucky.
87

93
My father brought me a box of books once when I was about three and a half or four. I remember the carton they were in and the covers with illustrations by Newell C. Wyeth.
94
95
That became a big time in comic books because it’s when people were starting to break out into independent stuff, the market was getting choked with speculators and everybody was trying to do their own trick covers.
96
97
98
Crafting covers so many areas and over the last few years, we have seen a real boom in the U.K. in terms of people adopting craft as a hobby.
99
Before I was working professionally, I would do YouTube covers. But as a creative person, it was really hard for me when I wasn’t releasing my own music. That felt unnatural to me.
100
I often find myself worrying about celebrities. It’s an entirely caring thing; it’s not like the people who commission those photographs with cruel arrows to go on the covers of the celebrity magazines. The photographs show botched plastic surgery, raging eczema, weight gain and horrible clothes for maximum schadenfreude.
101
Before really high-pressured gigs I tend to freeze and crawl into bed. Under the covers you just feel safe for a little while.
102
I think all the covers I do have nice sentiments, particularly ‘Your Song.’ People write me very sweet messages about that song, though I’m sure there are people out there saying that I’ve ruined it too!
103
I suddenly got magazine covers, TV commercials and advertising campaigns. Finally after two years I could show my mum and dad that modeling was lucrative.
104
I’d never really been content with just churning out these slim volumes every three or four years. I’ve always tried to think of poetry as an active ingredient in the language rather than just something that appears between the covers of thin books.
105
106
I’m definitely interested in making more music and uploading new covers; I like to take suggestions because it’s more fun if people know the song.
107

110
I don’t like glossy covers.
111
112
You do a deal – business deal, real estate deal, stock deal – protect yourself at all times. I got that from boxing. That’s from A to Z: that covers everything in life. And it started when I heard it in the ring. They don’t say that in basketball or football or any other sport that I know of but boxing.
113
I enjoy doing digital work. I enjoy sculpting digitally. I’ve had my digital sculptures on covers of the top digital magazines.
114
115
Some bands don’t do covers. I love music. I’ve done the ’40s, the ’50s, ‘the ’60s, the ’70s, the ’80s, the ’90s, the ’00s, and I’m working on the ’10s.
116
The blood of Christ covers all of our sins, but each of us must do personal business with God in order to experience his forgiveness.
117
118
There are only individual people, different individual people, with their own individual lives. Using one of these people for the benefit of others uses him and benefits the others. Nothing more. What happens is that something is done to him for the sake of others. Talk of an overall social good covers this up.
119
120
My first band, Kid Wicked, we did half covers and half originals.
121
122
123
When I was growing up as a young lesbian in the ’50s, I looked in vain for books about my people. I did find some paperbacks with lurid covers in the local bus station, but they ended with the gay character‘s committing suicide, dying in a car crash, being sent to a mental hospital, or ‘turning‘ heterosexual.
124
125
I think a lot of magazine covers are heavily photoshopped and bodies are distorted to look a certain way.
126
I’ve always wanted to do a project with space imagery because I’ve always loved these amazing sci-fi electro book covers. I’ve always loved science fiction. I feel like space imagery has no boundaries.
127
By creating so many illusory images of physical perfection, whether on store aisles or storefront ads, magazine covers or TV shows, we speak more to the profit margins of companies than the self-esteem of today‘s girls.
128
I mean, why am I considered an ‘it girl?’ Because I’m in a lot of movies right now or am on the covers of magazines? I just hope there is something solid behind that. Because here’s the thing with ‘it girl’ status. It’s great and amazing that anybody is saying that at all. But how long does that last?
129
‘A High Wind in Jamaica‘ is like those books you used to read under the covers with a flashlight – only infinitely more delicious… and macabre.
130
I do covers for CDs and LPs of music that I like, reissues of old-time music, and then I’m inspired to make some kind of drawing based on this love of the music. I don’t do album covers or CD covers for groups or musicians I don’t like or have no interest in.
131
I think my music covers a broader sound than just ‘Tropical House’… My goal is to simply be a great producer in my own right without being pigeonholed.
132
133
Global pandemics, cyberwarfare, information warfare – these are threats that require highly motivated, highly educated bureaucrats; a national health-care system that covers the entire population; public schools that train students to think both deeply and flexibly; and much more.
134
‘Powers of Persuasion: The Story of British Advertising’ by Winston Fletcher – the impression you get from reading this book, which covers post-war advertising until the present, is of a chaotic, self-serving, occasionally brilliant but ultimately shallow business.
135
As a kid, I’d buy novels with these magnificent Chris Fosse covers which showed an enormous contraption hovering over a planet, and you’d always think ‘Where’s that going to come in?’ And it never did! It was always slightly disappointing when the contents of a book never lived up to the cover.
136
137
138
139
140
141
142
I find it strange that actors are on the covers of magazines.
143
Robert Altman’s ‘Nashville‘ is my all-time favorite film because it covers all the bases – it’s original, moving, and has something to say, but also funny and incredibly entertaining.
144
145
I’m trying to break away from doing covers or from being considered only as a YouTube star. I’m a singer, songwriter, sound engineer, and producer.
146
Occasionally, you get a nice surprise when someone covers your song in an extraordinary way.
147
148
It is important to remember that the Pacific Ocean covers a quarter of the world’s surface and that each Pacific country has its own cultural, historical and ethnic identity.
149

150
I was arrested in September 2011 and detained for nine months before I was found guilty in June 2012 under Ethiopia‘s overly broad Anti-Terrorism Proclamation, which ostensibly covers the ‘planning, preparation, conspiracy, incitement and attempt‘ of terrorist acts.
151
152
I trained myself by doing other people’s songs in clubs way back when. And so I have no pride about doing covers. I love it. And being a song interpreter, to me, is just as important as, you know, putting your own thing out there. It’s all about the soul – where the soul comes from.
153
154
155
Counter-knowledge covers the propagation of false legends and conspiracy theories often used for political purposes or fundamentalist religious propaganda.
156
I’ve always been charmed by houses, and descriptions of them are prominent in my novels. So prominent, in fact, that my editor once pointed out to me that all of my early novels had houses on the covers.
157
I think that when I was younger and had my first round of big success and was plastered on magazine covers in the early and mid-’90s, I was kind of outspoken and had kind of a pretty aggressive attitude in my life.
158
I have always felt that effect covers are very good covers. They bring you into the story if you pay attention to them.
159
160
My wife thinks I’m a narcissist, but I just think it’s hilarious going on YouTube and seeing these covers. There are so many of them – literally hundreds! It’s flattering.
161
162
Writers usually don’t get to pick our own covers. I know it’s surprising to hear that.
163
164
I steer clear of books with ugly covers. And ones that are touted as ‘sweeping,’ ‘tender’ or ‘universal.’
165
166
Pigheaded covers a multitude of virtues – as well as sins.
167
I’m happy that I don’t have to do covers anymore, because that’s not what I do.
168
169
I’ve never met any artist who illustrated one of my books, although I’ve corresponded briefly with one. I have always been impressed by the technical expertise involved in the covers, even if sometimes puzzled by the subject matter.
170
The Adia application has been co-created by the Adecco Group and the global technology leader, Infosys. It covers the full cycle of recruiting, matching, invoicing, and payrolling with state-of-the-art functionalities such as feedback and rating and geolocalization.
171
172
My mother had taken me to photographer Paul Hesse, who used some of my pictures on magazine covers.
173
174
I read like an animal. I read under the covers, I read lying in the grass, I read at the dinner table. While other people were talking to me, I read.
175
176
I thought I knew who Alan Turing was. I’ve always loved history, and I was actually shocked by how little I actually knew. I was amazed this wasn’t common knowledge. Why wasn’t he on the front covers of my history books? He’s one of the great thinkers of the last century, and he was sort of pushed into the shadows.
177
The Fall was super powerful to me because of their covers. They were intimidating. I bought ‘This Nation’s Saving Grace‘ when it came out in 1985, and there was something about it that made me nervous. It terrified me.
178
When I put out a record I don’t really like to do covers as much, but I don’t mind playing them. I do them mostly for my friends. When a friend’s like, ‘Man I really like that song,’ I go ‘hahaha’ and I go home and I record it.
179
180
181
It’s always flattering when someone covers a song. I mean, when you’re a young band, and you’re unsigned – to think that someday people would want to cover one of your songs – it’s just mind-blowing.
182
183
I came up in a time when Springsteen, the Stones, Dylan, and the Beatles were still dominant. For every magazine cover with a new band, there were five covers with one of those guys.
184
Mainstream news covers war and gets everything wrong. I’d rather learn what’s happening from soldiers with combat experience. It’s like a former NFL player giving play-by-play. We bring the expert commentary.
185
I don’t want to be a celebrity. I don’t want to be in people’s faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I haven’t even known I’m on.
186
187
188
Certainly, its important to protect the water system and that covers, certainly, everything from vandals to terrorists.
189
If you’ve been on the covers of some magazines and been in a few movies that have been seen by people, for some reason, women seem to be drawn to you.
190
This record has a lot of influences that I’d love to cover, like Marvin Gaye and Earth, Wind and Fire. Maybe I’ll do some covers of my major influences during my live show.
191
192
193
Winning covers a lot of bad things.
194
Whether it’s music, loss of something, loneliness or friendship – if that emotion is heightened in some way and painted to fit in between the covers of 32 pages, that can become a picture book.
195
196
When you look out the window of a spaceship, you see entire countries, vast swaths of continents. One turn of the head covers what once took thousands of years to traverse at ground level.
197
So basically my, my foundation does this thing called gap coverage for, you know, students that apply for our scholarship program. What it means, it’s not like quote, unquote ‘full scholarship.’ They apply for financial aid and, and FAFSA and things like that. Then whatever’s not covered, my foundation covers.
198
199
200
I don’t see that my age has anything to do with what is between the covers of my book, any more than the fact that I am right-handed. It’s a fact of my biography, but it’s uninteresting.
201
202
203
It’s all about the balance. For musicians, me personally, you just can’t keep doing covers or mash-ups. It would get old pretty fast.
204
205
206
207
‘The Exile‘ covers approximately the first third of ‘Outlander’.
208
209
I was doing some YouTube covers, and I had a decently popular blog on Tumblr.
210
211
212
Coming from my bedroom in San Antonio to this big world and going from singing covers off my laptop to making music in this nice studio, making professional-sounding music – it’s just weird.
213
Estimates are that in 2012, more than 32 million books were available – the explosion, thanks to the ease of self-publishing; 2013 could see even more titles grace our virtual bookstores! That means we are going to be awash in covers and titles, plot descriptions and characters.
214
215
216
Growing up, I never knew that Raffi turned down celebrity endorsements, TV shows, and specials and refused to make merchandise, but it makes sense given how I think about him: My memories are limited to his voice through the record player and the album covers I stared at.
217
Record covers still inspire me in terms of clothes, some bands just look sharp. But I still wear stuff I owned when I was 16.
218
219
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
220
I hate being called poet/dramatist/translator/director. ‘Poet’ covers it all for me.
221
I don’t like being overexposed. I don’t like being on covers. And I don’t like people talking about me.
222
