I had this extraordinarily bizarre moment when, two Fridays ago, my missus gave birth to our second child at 11am and by the same time the following day I was sitting around a table with Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio in Rabat in Morocco, rehearsing a scene we were going to shoot the next day.

For years following the death of my mother, I wanted to write about her. I started writing what I thought of as personal essays about growing up as her child, but I never could finish any of them. I think I was too close to that loss, and too eager to try and resolve things, to make her death make sense.
21
Following the end of the Cold War, there was much discussion concerning the point of NATO. In the event, it was reinvented as a means of reducing Russia’s reach on its western frontiers and seeking to isolate it. Its former East European client states were admitted to NATO, as were the Baltic states.
22

23
24
At last, after completing year 12, I failed the great final examination, repeated the following year and failed again even more dismally than before. This was not an easy thing to do. My mates did the simple thing in the first place and mainly passed with honours and went on to have remarkably successful lives.
25
It would be extremely naive to conclude anything other than the following: America’s most vital secrets are in the hands of our adversaries because Secretary Clinton intentionally avoided using official government communication systems.
26
I was a film major because, for some reason, I thought that that was a creative job that had more job opportunities. I don’t know what logic I was following, but that was my impression at the time.
27
28
From making documentaries all these years, it doesn’t feel right to lead someone. In narratives, I’m always trying to shoot as though it’s really happening, and I trust my actors are going to make decisions that I’m going to be following. I want to follow them.
29
Sometimes you don’t know why you’re doing something. You’re intuitively following, to see where it leads.

33
Like the seasons of the year, like history, truth also repeats itself.

34
I’m Chinese–American, of course, and so it’s very interesting to see China actually launch their own astronauts, becoming the third nation, following the United States and Russia, to do so.

46

64
65
66
I had some experience when I joined ‘The Sopranos‘ in the last season. My character married Christopher, and everyone loved Adriana. I knew what it was like to join a very beloved, secretive show and following a very iconic character.

69
70
Both my parents are English and came out to Australia in 1967. I was born the following year.

We all want to let fans behind the scenes. We just don’t want them following us around.

78
79
I’m less interested in how people are following each other and more interested in how they are following topics and tweets themselves. People are following more key words and concepts and more ideas and acting on those rather than individuals or organizations.

LeBron James has proven he can lead by example. My wish for LeBron is to understand the following: He’s an exceptional leader because he leads by example. The next step on the road to Legend, which he’s already on, is to trust he’s the best player in the best system anywhere in basketball.
84
85
We need radical dietary improvement, and the earlier in life that change is made, the better. Just following a vegan diet or eating a few more vegetables is not enough.
86

92

I would never want to model as my career, but fashion is my hobby. When you love what you’re wearing, you feel good. I also love the extravagance of John Galliano for a big occasion. But I’m very bad with following trends.
94
‘Monday Night Football’ has the good and the bad points. The bad point is you have to wait around all day, and it disrupts your schedule for the next week. Now you have one less day to prepare for the following week.
95
Over the centuries, monumental upheavals in science have emerged time and again from following the leads set out by mathematics.
96
I was not an anthropology student prior to the war. I took it up as part of a personal readjustment following some bewildering experiences as an infantryman and later as a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany. The science of the Study of Man has been extremely satisfactory from that personal standpoint.
97
I came to Mumbai in 2000 to do a hotel management course. Following this, I worked as a marketing executive with Hotel Sheraton in Muscat for a year. It was in 2004 that I participated in the Gladrags Mr. India contest and bagged the most popular model award. After that, I did few ramp shows and ads.
98
I’ve become increasingly confidant in following intuitions ahead of thoughts as I produce more records.

102
The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God’s plan seems like it doesn’t make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.
103
104
In an industrialized country as advanced as the United States, no mother should have the fear of dying during childbirth or in the following months.
105

106
107
108
109
110
111
I try to be respectful and talk to any fan and sign anything that anyone wants. Without the fans, you’re not much. You need fans to do this job. I’ve got a nice little following, and it seems to be growing as each thing comes out.
112
I wanted to start a proper academy and recruit juniors from all over Pakistan following my retirement after the World Open in 1993 but there was no support.
113
A lot of artists get famous overseas first. I don’t know what it is here. I have a large underground following in the U.S., but I don’t get the airplay as much as I do in, say, Australia. Over there, they can play whatever they like, it seems, but not so much here.
114
I support Christ and following Him, and that’s what I support.
115
116

118
Mr. Modi is responsible for everyone’s misery, demonetisation disaster, destruction of all democratic institutions. He is creating problems for everybody: for political leaders, for media, for corporates. He is not following any democratic values.

122
123
124
125

127
128
129
130
Different films, different genres show the different things I do. It’s nice because it brings different groups of people to following what I’m doing. So hopefully, it kind of reiterates that I’m not just a one-trick pony as well.
131
I’ve often reflected on this in the past weeks as I’ve been following the presidential campaign: Very often, I thought it would have been great for both of these guys to sit down and be force-fed a couple of dozen episodes of Star Trek.

133
134
I recently did a play, Athol Fugard’s ‘Coming Home‘ at Long Wharf Theatre, where I played one character throughout – I sat at a table and didn’t have any costume changes. Following one character’s arc from beginning to end is a whole different mindset.

Creativity shouldn’t be following radio; it should be the other way around.
136

138
139
I think my selfies are the main reason for my fan following on social networking sites. These photos and videos are liked and shared by the followers, and consequently, they go viral.
140
141
142
143
I’ve dealt with a lot of people with bad intentions. Just because somebody has a following does not mean that they are a good person or a good friend.
144
On Tumblr, I’m really careful about not following too many things. I enjoy going on there to discover new things more than anywhere else now.
145
146
147
I get motivated by the fact people are following me, that they want a photo or say ‘vamos’ or ‘Canelo.’
148
I see a lot of actor-bashing because they are the face of the film. Actors are just following someone else’s direction.
149
The first generation of Russian terrorists came out of the ’60s counterculture – the 1860s in Russia bearing a striking similarity to the 1960s in the United States, with Russian students growing their hair, following gurus who extolled the ‘new man,’ and starting communes.
150
I always have to get my U.K. fix, and ‘Downton Abbey‘ is definitely that. I absolutely love period dramas, but this one is particularly appealing – following the ins and outs of aristocracy as well as the interaction between the rich and the poor.
151
152
I did two films that have a great following. One is ‘Caddyshack,’ one is ‘Tron.’ To tell you the truth, most people don’t know that it’s me in both films.
153
154
155
156
From the time I signed on to ‘The Following,’ things have already vastly changed in the entertainment world in general. It’s an adjustment for me.

160
161
The smartest thing I did in law school: asking my future wife to go out dancing with me. The smartest thing I did when practicing law: quitting. The smartest thing I’ve done in writing: following my own head and writing what I wanted to write, and nothing but.
162
163
Sometimes you have to change the mold. If people keep following the same Hollywood mold, you’re going to get the same thing. And as a Black actress, there’s not a whole lot out there for us, unless we’re creating it.
164

165

166
167
If you had asked me, did I have everything nailed down and wired about what I wanted to do, and was I following some real plan? No. In fact, by the time I was in my mid-20s or even late-20s, and I was still in the law firm, I really was starting to get a little nervous that I didn’t know what I was going to do.
168
I wasn’t the kind of person that liked waiting for autographs or following them, I just liked to go to the shows, study their records, driving many, many hours to different states to go to concerts.
169
I don’t feel like I’ve ever subscribed to the stereotypical notion of success. I’ve always equated success with having integrity, conducting yourself with compassion and honesty, and following your heart despite whether or not you ever make any money at it.
170
171
Jackie Kennedy was magnificent in the days and weeks immediately following her husband‘s assassination. She was especially wonderful to me.
172
We know somebody’s got to win, somebody’s got to lose, but aside from that, there’s a lot of latitude and spontaneity and free-wheeling that I think would make it a much better product. I’m not knocking the product on RAW or Smackdown or NXT; these guys are good, but they’re following a television format.
173
Contrary to popular belief, I don’t spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I’ve learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that’s what kids are playing. That’s what people are talking about.
174
175
176
I enjoy his concerts and OK, maybe – I can’t sing, I can’t dance, I can’t play the guitar, but I am going to go a long way if I keep following Springsteen.
177
When you have this many losses, you don’t have a following.
178

185
It is the custom of the Roman Church which I unworthily serve with the help of God, to tolerate some things, to turn a blind eye to some, following the spirit of discretion rather than the rigid letter of the law.
186
If you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, your life will be safe, expedient and thin.
187
188

189
190
Sydney is a very good market for us – we have a very strong following here.
191

192
I have a big gay and lesbian following and they’ve been very loyal and kind to me.
193
Imgur isn’t about following a celebrity, and it’s not about following a person in real life. You don’t have to build up a massive following and use that to get your distribution.
194
195
When I was fifteen, I spent three weeks driving all over Brooklyn with a guy who was following his girlfriend.
196
197
198
199

200
In one of the largest studies ever done on the effects of executive coaching – over 70,000 respondents – we learned that the biggest mistake coaches make is in not following up. It didn’t matter who the coach was or what method they used. Failing to follow up made any approach to coaching ineffective.
201
There was a time when liberalism was identified with anti-Communism. But the Vietnam War led liberals into the arms of the Left, which had been morally confused about Communism since its inception and had become essentially pacifist following the carnage of World War I.
202
203
204
However, the occasional visit of success provides just the excitement an engineer needs to face work the following day.
205
Those who call me an opportunist are following the old rule: If you can’t attack the data, attack the person.
206
207
The period after the First World War was an extremely different time, so that Sherlock Holmes would have been a different person following 1918 than he was during the Victorian era.
208
When federal agents and prosecutors quietly open a criminal investigation, we are not concealing anything; we are simply following the longstanding policy that we refrain from publicizing non-public information. In that context, silence is not concealment.
209
Following 9/11, intelligence indicated numerous links between al-Qa’eda and Algeria. It began to look as though the roots of jihad could be traced back to the war in Algeria that began 50 years ago.
210
It is my fervent hope and prayer that by exposing my mistakes and by pointing out the things that were a part of my early life, some who might be following the same paths might not make those same mistakes.
211
I don’t want people following me around, everywhere I go, people talking to me and stuff. I don’t want to be walking down the street with a bodyguard. I don’t think that will be an issue playing in L.A.
212
In my view, the most important lesson we can learn from Dr. King is not what he said at the March on Washington but what he said and did after the march. In the years following the march, he did not play politics to see what crumbs a fundamentally corrupt system might toss to the beggars for justice.
213
214
215
We talk about, ‘Wow, thank God that we were out when we were, because it was much easier then.’ There wasn’t paparazzi following you every step of your day, every move you make.
216
217
I’m following my interests, and there’s something about investigating the world and creating a watchable, entertaining programme out of it that is deeply satisfying.
218
219
I really don’t believe in planning my life. I am just going with the flow and following my heart.
220
221
I didn’t become a footballer to be famous, I became a footballer to be successful. I didn’t want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day? I couldn’t think of anything worse.
222
223
I think any teenager, any single parent household teenager growing up in New York City, will probably go through tumultuous years. I definitely did. It all sort of righted itself once I definitively got on the path of being a musician or, like, following that directly.
224
There’s clearly something to be said for success and following through on your commitments.
225

226
I have a huge underground following on the web.
227
Haute couture is like an orchestra, for which only Balenciaga is the conductor. The rest of us are just musicians, following the directions he gives us.
228
The new generation of designers, like Prabal Gurung and Alexander Wang, have hundreds of thousands following them on social media who will probably never be able to afford their dresses but still feel a loyalty to them. So when that designer writes a book or launches a beauty line, they might pick that up.
229
230
When you become a ‘public person,’ I find it very difficult to keep following social media. It is too harsh, too violent. I only read newspapers online.
231
Following my muse has worked out pretty well so far. I can’t see any reason to change the formula now.
232
233
234
Being gay facilitated my capacity for shame. As a child, I carried around this thing that gradually became this big dark secret. When I came out in a newspaper interview at 30 I was expecting the reaction the following day to be like the climax of ‘Dead Poets Society,’ but actually no one really cared.
235
236
I have a big following on Twitter, and Twitter has been invaluable for mobilizing and quickly sharing information. But I’m not really sure that people are learning deep content on Twitter.
237
Benedict’s spending down his energy was a function of his fighting against the Space/Information Age‘s relentless pressure on the concept of hierarchy, the restoration of which he had, following John Paul II, made a central part of the program that has come to be known as the reform of the reform.
238
We definitely have a hardcore following.
239
240
Following well-established national security screening procedures and accurately informing Congress about them is not a joke or a political game. It is essential to guaranteeing that our national secrets are protected and to preventing possible blackmailing of key administration officials.
241
242
I’ve no idea what Eddie Irvine’s orders are, but he’s following them superlatively well.
243
244

251

Following the Road FC chief Jung Moon-hong’s goal to increase the popularity of this sport, I will play my part to popularize MMA as well.
253
254
I’m following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn’t do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I’m very happy.
255
256
What’s success all about? What’s philanthropy all about? Let’s think of our legacy, following in the footsteps of some great Americans like the Carnegies and the Mellons who used their wealth for quality purposes.
257
258
259
Well, I’ve never been to Japan so I couldn’t say. I do know that we have a bit of a following there however.
260
261
262
263
Yes, there was a sort of underground cult following, which came from nowhere, and grew, and grew. It was quite surprising to us all, because all of us had spent probably the previous five to ten years without it. So it was quite overwhelming. Overwhelming and humbling.
264
I understand people who say, ‘There is no Queen without Freddie. Just leave it be.’ Because that’s what we felt, following his death. All three of us said, ‘Right, that’s the end of the band.’ But the band just didn’t seem to die.
265
I think it would be bad to a truly successful celebrity person, because I know these novelists where people get a cult following, and they have some strange personal attachment to them because it’s so personal to read a book.
266
In due course, following an additional debriefing, the FBI confirmed to me and to my former counsel, Tom Carter, that I was not a suspect in this case. I assumed that my involvement in the investigation was over.
267
268
269
I have a cult-like following because I exemplify what it is to be a human being.
270
271
The interesting thing about the TLC network is that they were interested in following me, not leading me.
272
Every time in my life when I have chosen to delay following inspired counsel or decided that I was an exception, I came to know that I had put myself in harm’s way. Every time that I have listened to the counsel of prophets, felt it confirmed in prayer, and then followed it, I have found that I moved toward safety.
273
Donald, following the lead of my grandfather and with the complicity, silence and inaction of his siblings, destroyed my father. I can’t let him destroy my country.
274
275

276
I’ve developed a huge regard for Toyota for its environmental awareness, for its immense commitment to research and development in this field, and for its leadership in developing hybrids which others are now following.

Some of the occurrences leading up to and immediately following the Berlin World Championships have infringed not only my rights as an athlete but also my fundamental and human rights, including my rights to dignity and privacy.
278
My advice for upcoming actors is to never give up. If it’s in you, keep following your dream no matter what. Perseverence is the key.
279
280
Following Greece‘s defeat at the hands of Turkey in 1897, Greece’s fiscal house was entrusted to a Control Commission. During the 20th century, the drachma was one of the world’s worst currencies. It recorded the world’s sixth highest hyperinflation. In October 1944, Greece’s monthly inflation rate hit 13,800%.
281
All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?

283
Following my junior year in high school, I went on a camping trip through Russia in a group led by Horst Momber, a young language teacher from Roosevelt.
284
285
The way I saw it was, if I had the built-in following and the audience, but I also had the skill set of acting, that would shoot me to the top. Because there’s so many good actors. There’s so many good-looking people. But the X factor now is social media.
286
287
I always wanted to do a baseball book; I love baseball. The problem is that a very large part of my following is in non-baseball playing countries.
288
Just as we responded following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and just as an earlier generation rallied in a united front to fight World War II, members of Congress must respond to the coronavirus pandemic without regard to our party affiliation.
289
290
This kind of music was just hitting England, so we were getting this following in clubs in Birmingham just cause we were trying to do something different.
291
I feel I’m following my path. I’m living my truth, and my path is storytelling.
292
293
294
295
As British and French imperialism ebbed following the end of the Second World War, America became the main outside player in Arab affairs.
296
I was a litigation lawyer, following the crowd off the proverbial cliff, when I pressed the pause button.
297
You will encounter many distractions and many temptations to put your goal aside: The security of a job, a wife who wants kids, whatever. But if you hang in there, always following your vision, I have no doubt you will succeed.
298
There’s something exciting about weekly strips in that you’re following the way the story reveals itself to the writer week by week. All the possible directions it could have taken are there; it’s a kind of participatory reading that I think books discourage.
299
I’m not becoming western; I am still following my Pashtun culture, and I’m wearing a shalvar kamiz, a dupatta on my head.
300
I’m always hoping no one is following me around with a camera.
301
302
There is a way you can make incredible music without following the so-called formula.
303
304
Taking sartorial risks and not following other people is what makes you stand out.
305
The piano is the X factor. People have a tough time following the structures when there’s no piano there, spelling it out. It makes it more easily understood, particularly to people who don’t know as much about music.
306
Personalized news aggregators are geared around connecting you to news sources; we’re about connecting you to your friends. To people you’re inspired by. To people that you’re following on Facebook and Twitter.
307
I actually worry that we’re so mindlessly following the herd on privacy and data being the principle concerns when the actual things that are affecting the felt sense of your life and where your time goes, where your attention goes, where democracy goes, where teen mental health goes, where outrage goes.
308
Following the West is not surrendering. Following the West, the best of the West, is following originality.
309
I was quite intrigued by the idea of following the exploits of people who are often in the margins.
310
311
312
313
314
You can’t forge a new sort of consensus, you can’t forge public opinion, by following public opinion.
315
316
In the days following 9/11, when we were reeling and disoriented, there was a kind of solace to be found in old recordings, and even pseudo-folk singers like James Taylor seemed to be safeguarding something, drawing back bygone days.
317
318
There are so many ingredients that are contained in ‘The Wall’ that were not necessarily contained in other Pink Floyd records, particularly following on from ‘Animals,’ which was very spare and sparse. Production on it was much more massive, the complexity of the recording was much more intense.
319
320
When I was a kid, I was following black soul music.
321
The best thing about football, and sport in general, is that if you suffer a big disappointment, then there is no better feeling than coming back the following year and doing well.
322
Why has elegance found so little following? That is the reality of it. Elegance has the disadvantage, if that’s what it is, that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it.
323
I think we should follow the Olympic charter and the guidelines as the whole world is following it.
324
With every record I put out, I got a bit more success, a bigger following in cities I would play in, and occasionally a bit of radio play.
325
You don’t need a corporation or a marketing company to brand you now: you can do it yourself. You can establish who you are with a social media following.
326
We’re from New York, so we have a decent following.
327
Style is all about being comfortable. I don’t believe in following a style because it is a trend. I need to be comfortable in my clothes.
328
329
I think it’s best for me to kind of just plough on doing whatever interests me, just following my own whims, because otherwise, I would think, ‘Oh well, I have to write something now that really represents my generation or that really represents young Irish people.’
330
After Sandy hit, my wife and I saw pictures of the devastation following the hurricane in the news. We immediately wanted to find a way to assist those in need.
331
I believe in following opportunities.
332
I think the first general point to make from epidemiological studies across millions of people is the following – that short sleep predicts a shorter life. It predicts all cause mortality.
333
Thank God kids love following an artist. When you get a group who pop, it’s the best thing in the world.
334
It was tough to get to where I am, to get the following that I do have on social media and all the fans out there, which I greatly appreciate, but I would love to have a template so the next girl who grows up doesn’t have to go through a lot of the hardships that we faced in our generation.
335
One way to define spiritual life is getting so tired and fed up with yourself you go on to something better, which is following Jesus.
336
337
338
I’ve been following my intuition and what moves me.
339
It’s great finding a comic book character that doesn’t care about following traditional comic book rules by breaking the fourth wall and being explicit about everything. This gives Deadpool the arrogance which you just have to love.
340
I think I’ve nurtured the following that I have to the point where I can consistently do a certain type of numbers when I put a project out.
341
There is a fundamental and culturally learned power imbalance between men and women, and it follows us into the workplace. The violence born of this imbalance follows us also. We would like to believe that it stops short of following us into the laboratory and into the field – but it does not.
342
I’ve been blessed from the very beginning with the large gay audience, and I’m flattered. They always have the best taste anyways and are at the forefront of fashion, music, and style. So I’m really happy about that and very flattered. It’s a good following to have because it means you’re doing something right.
343
I cannot determine what people or nations should do, but I do think that extremism gives birth to following and subsequent extremism.
344
The first generation of the young people of our revolution took up arms following Comrade Kim Il Sung and fought the bloody anti-Japanese struggle, thus achieving the historic cause of national liberation.
345
346
I see myself following my dream to keep singing and acting.
347
The English season will be over; I’m a Brazilian who loves my country, so of course I will be following and supporting the side as much as any fan.
348
349
350
351
I think the fun of following the movie box office and stocks is very similar to the fun of sports – all three combine passion and unpredictability.
352
A line, an area of tone, is not really important because it records what you have seen, but because of what it will lead you on to see. Following up its logic in order to check its accuracy, you find confirmation or denial in the object itself or in your memory of it.
353
354
My first care the following morning was, to devise some means of discovering the man in the grey cloak.
355
356
357
In 2009, when I was Health Minister, we re-engineered our business processes to examine the weaknesses and opportunities in our health system. Following that exercise, we established a public health emergency management system from national to district level to prevent and provide rapid response to outbreaks.
358
So when you’re following guys like Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish or The Young Bucks or Jay Lethal or The Briscoe Brothers, and you’re going out and trying to really stick out and have a very memorable, talked-about main event, or the match of the night, like the main event should be, it’s really challenging.
359
I’m good at following my own grooming advice.
360
My parents taught me that having a passion is a rare thing, so following it through and working hard, even when it’s tough, is important.
361
362
It makes sense for Japan to pursue a more independent role in the world, following Latin America and others in freeing itself from U.S. domination.
363
364
I think water seeks its own level, that we go through challenges to become better. And now more than ever, it’s good to look at who you’re following in any type of hierarchy or institution – be it a church or the government. We can see how easy it is for people to lose their footing when they have great power.
365
366
I have a following. Whenever I am on tour they come. It is always sold out.
367
368
369
People are bound to comment, and that means they are following me.
370
Following the rise of the Labour Party it seemed reasonable, in 1927, to expect, or at least hope, that co-operation for the common good might gradually replace the competitiveness of capitalism.
371
The downturn following the collapse of Japan’s so-called bubble economy of the 1980s was not as severe as the Great Depression.
372
I do like not knowing where I’m going, wandering in strange woods, whistling and following bread crumbs.
373
Putin himself made his original fortune in the early 1990s, when he stole the funds that had been entrusted to him to buy food in Europe to relieve the starvation in Leningrad that occurred during the economic collapse following the fall of the Soviet Union.
374
But while doing that I’d been following a variety of fields in science and technology, including the work in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and so forth.
375
376
We have a model that we’re following, and it’s the Libya model.
377
For those who are here illegally and not following the rules, we need to send them home.
378
I saw an advertisement to work for a Swedish institute in Karachi in Pakistan. I had just been offered a permanent assignment, teaching in Oulu. But I felt, ‘My God, I am not going to stay here forever.’ You know why? Because I was following international events.
379
380
381
When I was a teenager, I went to Europe on a backpacking trip by myself, and I met a woman who was following Sebadoh. It was the early 1990s, and that was my introduction to indie rock.
382
I think there will be an increasing convergence between content and commerce, that it will be about following consumers instead of making consumers come to you, and I am especially excited about the various platforms that will allow more and more access to customers.
383
384
By 30, I was separated from my husband, and I clearly remember sitting in my lovely office with a magnificent view, staring at a very lucrative pay stub, and bursting into tears because I was just miserable. So I had to make a decision: Keep following my plan, or be honest with myself and search for my true passion.
385
386
Following the devastating India Ocean tsunami of 2004, I founded Chefs for Humanity, modeled after Doctors Without Borders, but comprised of chefs. There wasn’t anything out there like it, and there was a definite need for chefs to be able to offer assistance and aid.
387
Following our inner guidance may feel risky and frightening at first, because we are no longer playing it safe, doing what we ‘should’ do, pleasing others, following rules, or deferring to outside authority.
388
389
390
391
I think it’s in our nature to try to get beyond that next horizon. I think that when we, as a species, are scratching that itch, we’re actually following an evolutionary compulsion that is wired into us. I think good things come of it.
392
In boxing, some fighters have good chins. You just have to be persistent and continue following the plan and trying to catch them nicely and, obviously, hope to be knocking him out.
393
394
395
If you score 20 goals one season, then you have to promise yourself that in the following season you will get 25.
396
But as I said to Dr. Rice following her testimony, and I think she appreciated it, we had our job to do and we did it best we could, trying to get answers to the important questions that the 9/11 Commission must answer.
397
My films do have a big following among young girls, and I want to instill confidence in them, a sense of self-appreciation – to make them feel they can be spirited and say what they feel.
398
I’ve had people following me home or standing outside my house. It’s strange. I just don’t think people were meant to be worshipped or idolised.
399
Following the missile crisis, detente started to gain ground between the United States and the Soviet Union, so the international political climate improved after that.
400
401
I’d play music on the street, especially in developing nations where a lot of kids couldn’t wear shoes. In order to relate with kids that would be following me barefoot, I would take off my shoes, and they would all laugh at me because I couldn’t go three steps without wincing.
402
403
From a neighbour, I got a one-day-old duckling and found, to my intense joy, that it transferred its following response to my person. At the same time, my interest became irreversibly fixated on water fowl, and I became an expert on their behaviour even as a child.
404
I have a moral position against the death penalty. But I took an oath of office to uphold it. Following an oath of office is also a moral obligation.
405
406
I have always been interested in following the technology that I feel are presenting themselves as true industry and innovation.
407
Civil disobedience is not accepted by religion and the state does not accept it and there are many verses in the Holy Book that talk of following the ruler.
408
I have been following what is now called the ‘Spartan Way’ long before it became popular!
409
Autobiography is awfully seductive; it’s wonderful. Once I got into it, I realized I was following a tradition established by Frederick Douglass – the slave narrative – speaking in the first-person singular, talking about the first-person plural, always saying ‘I,’ meaning ‘we.’
410
The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it’s going to go and where you’ll wind up. Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don’t let anyone deter you from that.
411
Our generation was born during the turmoil following the First World War. That war marked the dividing line – at least for the Western World – between the comfortable security of the 19th century and the instability and flux of our own time.
412
I’m yet to attack French cooking, you know, where it’s intense, following recipes and stuff. I’m more of a ‘make it up’ kind of thing.
413
414
415
The template that ‘Infinity War’ is following is a very different, complex template because you’ve never seen so many characters in one film. It obviously has to be a multi-perspective film.
416
Women are reputed never to be disgusted. The sad fact is that they often are, but not with men; following the lead of men, they are most often disgusted with themselves.
417
418
It’s about discipline. It’s about following instructions. It’s about the execution of the plan. That’s what sport is.
419
420
Be an individual. I mean, obviously it’s hard for a brand, for a corporation, to have a huge following.
421
422
I understand the repercussions of following in my father’s footsteps.
423
424
425
426
I don’t like the idea of people following me around.
427
428
Working with Suriya is like a dream-come-true moment for me. I’ve been following Suriya’s films right from my childhood.
429
So the ethic I was taught in school resulted in the path I chose in my life following school.
430
I work from a deep sense of insecurity. I have the belief, and I can’t shake it, that there are endless reasons to turn the channel. There are hundreds of channels and entirely other things to do besides TV. And if you make a bad television show there’s no reason for the audience to come back the following week.
431
432
A lot of college kids are my fan following.
433
The popularity of the Internet and using it as an available resource has really changed the way chefs kind of gather information and look for inspiration. To me, a food trend is potentially a lot of people following an idea.
434
435
What woman wants a camera following around her naked butt?
436
I’d been the girl, aged about 10, who’d twirl around her bedroom each night in the hope of waking up the following morning, having been transformed into Wonder Woman.
437
Both my parents are artists, so that just makes me look at everything slightly different. I listened to different music; I dressed differently. So I kind of grew up without following the pack.
438
I think one of the reasons ‘Borgen’ has such a following is because the characters are quite positive people.
439
440
And Hale was devoted to President Kennedy, and there was some talk following the assassination that Hale had warned the President not to go to Dallas, and the connotation was that it would be physically dangerous for him to do so.
441
After years of hiding and holding off because of the trial, I finally announced my intent to change my name and transition to living as woman on 22 August 2013 – the day following my sentencing – a personal high point for me, despite my other circumstances.
442
443
444
445
That is what leadership is all about: staking your ground ahead of where opinion is and convincing people, not simply following the popular opinion of the moment.
446
Blogs are quite a new development – now, everyone wants to know you, everyone wants to know everything about you. And you can build a following that way. In a way, it’s a good thing if you want to create a buzz around yourself.
447
448
449
English football has an enormous following across the world, not just because of the players but because of its history, its tradition, the excitement, the capacity crowds.
450
451
452
453
There is also a strong following among the urbanites on the East Coast when it comes to martial arts films.
454
I had a hard-core cult following of at least 12.
455
As far as things I avoid, I always avoid following trends just because they’re trends.
456
457
I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets. So I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on because then you can never really blame yourself for making the wrong choices. You can always say you’re following your passion.
458
When I moved to New York City in 1965, I wanted to be in theater. I was following my Ethel Barrymore dream. But I was too young to be Ethel.
459
I’m pretty sure it was President Bill Clinton who brought me back into politics and following it.
460
My father had always dreamed of getting a Ph.D., but certain life circumstances prevented him from following through. It was a tremendous, deep regret. The day I got my Ph.D., I saw in my father’s face what it meant that I had done this.
461
My wife and I drove across America following the Oregon Trail, which the pioneers once passed along.
462
If you’re following your dreams, you’re doing something you love and that you believe in yourself for.
463
464
We wish we had known that success takes time, that it’s gonna require an unimaginable amount of hard work, that you’re going to have to pretend you know what you’re doing even when don’t, and that as cheesy and cliche as it may sound, following your heart is actually… the key to everything.
465
The authority of a life for Christ always has greater influence than the authority of talking. A young person can possess all of the benefits of authority – influence, respect, and strength – just by following Jesus wherever he leads.
466
I think people may regret not following their instincts a lot.
467
Meditation is not following any system; it is not constant repetition and imitation. Meditation is not concentration.
468
469
470
Write out the story – rapidly, fluently, and not too critically – following the second or narrative-order synopsis. Change incidents and plot whenever the developing process seems to suggest such change, never being bound by any previous design.
471
472
I used to share my everyday life on the first social media platforms, and I had a pretty big following.
473
I don’t think anyone really gets used to being recognized around the world. It kind of feels like a videogame at times, especially with paparazzi and people following you and things of that nature. But it’s part of who I am now.
474
475
My initial plan was to spend a year in France, go to some kind of school and learn a bit of French. I went a year in an American college in the outskirts of Strasbourg, but got a glimpse of a real art school, L’Ecole des Arts Decoratifs, and enrolled the following year.
476
477
Rebellion is not always the right thing. Following the rules is not always the right thing. You have to think for yourself and identify the things that do not work for you.
478
Even if you have a difficult season, you still believe the following year will be better and a good one.
479
My fan following is intact. They only like to see me in movies, which I am still doing for them. I do not need to do any long interviews or chat shows.
480
481
Believe it or not, the biggest obstacle for a business owner with any size business is the internal response to the question – ‘Now what?’ Often this question is followed by a – deer in the headlights – response, which is then followed by stagnation. Following stagnation comes fear.
482
483
484
485
486
I have held the following jobs: office temp, ticket seller in movie theatre, cook in restaurant, nanny, and phone installer at the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
487
488
The word ‘courage,’ one of my favorite words, the root or the etymology of that word is ‘cour,’ which means heart. I think true courage is actually following your heart and not getting or succumbing to what other people’s definition of what your life should be. Live your life.
489
490
When Governor Romney was out here, I told him, I said, ‘we are following the formula of streamlining regulations, being job creating friendly, balancing budgets, cutting taxes, and, you know, using common sense. And if you get to be president, we are going to do more of that.’
491
I have sort of the career where, if you are a fan, you’ve been following me for a while, and you really like something that I’ve done, so meeting those people is always a really gracious experience.
492
I took lessons for about everything you could imagine – gymnastics to karate to flute and piano. My mom always definitely kept me in some kind of class or program, but for guitar, I kinda gave up on then kinda just taught myself. Same thing with piano. I’ve never been good with following lessons.
493
When I started writing, the deal was that publishers gave you a grand or two as an advance to buy some sweets, with the promise that they would make a big putsch with your fourth book when you’d built up a bit of a following. But by the time my fourth book came out, previously unpublished authors were the new big thing.
494
Do more than is required. What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following? The extra mile.
495
496
It was hard to get my name out there, but luckily, I have an awesome following who would not stay silent and helped me get to where I wanted to be.
497
Whenever journalism students ask me what they should be doing, I say that if you’re on social media, you should be following a ton of people that you don’t necessarily agree with just to get their perspectives.
498
Unfortunately, the Obama administration is more interested in furthering its political agenda than in following the law.
499
I won’t do reality. That is done. And I don’t want people following me around with a camera 24 hours a day.
500
When my son first started to take the subway, my husband and I used to follow him to make sure he was all right, and then we had to stop following him and let him do it by himself.
501
You’d think a sociopath assassin wouldn’t have a fan following but he does.
502
We have repeatedly issued warnings, over a number of years. Following these warnings and these calls, anti-American explosions took place in a number of Islamic countries.
503
It’s true that sometimes we have paparazzi or some kind of photographers following us, but you have to live normal. I mean, if you try to not go to the supermarket or not go to the cinema, you won’t live properly, and you won’t enjoy living. We are trying to be as normal as we can.
504
505
506
I don’t want to come in and do something that’s been done before. You know, for me, it’s not that I wouldn’t come in and do a sequel to something, but it’s only if I can bring something new to the table and I’m not following an extremely strict path.
507
I have a nice following in Boston. The Boston crowd is very hip.
508
I keep one simple rule that I only move in one direction – I write the book straight through from beginning to end. By following time’s arrow, I keep myself sane.
509
My mom graduated from the University of Michigan, which is a great school. Then she got her Master‘s from NYU. She wanted to be an actress, so when she graduated, she had a dream, and she started following it. She moved to New York and took acting classes with people like Denzel Washington.
510
511
512
One-third of all professional baseball players come from Latin America, and Sosa is following role models such as the late Roberto Clemente, a Puerto Rican, from whom he adopted the No. 21. Now he is a model for others.
513
What I’ve learned is that you really don’t need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous.
514
I like Strahan a lot. I’ve known him for years. He was a Giant here – in many ways. Had a big following with the New York Giants. He’s very funny. He’s got a great sense of humor.
515
The most important thing is readers. I’ve got a huge Twitter following, but I don’t really think it sells books; I don’t think a huge Facebook following sells books – although these things aren’t bad, of course.
516
I’ve liked Real Madrid since the days when Zidane, the Brazilian Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, and Fernando Hierro were around. I’ve been following them religiously since then.
517
518
The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.
519
520
I want people to know me for following my dreams.
521
522
There is a strong demand for Michael Jackson‘s music and merchandise, and that will only increase as more material surfaces in the years following his death.
523
There’s always someone following your next step.
524
I’ve actually performed at Gay Pride in Atlanta three times in my career. I’ve always had a large gay following, particularly in the lesbian community. I am grateful for that. To me, it means my music transcends categories. It also means that I’m a cute girl singing a rock song in an alto voice!
525
If you have a huge following, you should be sharing a little bit about reality. And reality is not just about lip gloss for me.
526
The billions watching and following the Premier League don’t tune in to see you in training. They want to know what you can do in a match.
527
528
529
530
I think it’s a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor.
531
I’m a huge fan of Leonardo DiCaprio’s career. I love the path that he’s taken. He seems to be very conscious of exactly what kind of project he wants for the following part of his career.
532
I just remember I wanted to make my own dynasty and not keep following trends. I wanted to make my own.
533
I’ve spoken several times with Prime Minister Erdogan about relations between Turkey and Israel. I’m pleased that, following President Obama‘s visit to Israel, talks between Israel and Turkey are again taking place and hope that relations between them will further improve in the interest of both countries.
534
