1
I have an internal protectiveness where it’s like, if it comes to just me, as frightened as I am of losing someone I love or things going sour or simply being alone, there is a dark place in my brain where I’m like, It could happen and I’m okay, I’m prepared.

It is not a dreamlike state, but the somehow insulated state, that a great musician achieves in a great performance. He’s aware of where he is and what he’s doing, but his mind is on the playing of the instrument with an internal sense of rightness.
9
People who suffer from anxiety are very good at hiding it. That can often be a contributor to the anxiety because the gap between the internal perception and the external impression can feel so large.
10
11
Enchanted partnership begins with the conscious understanding, on the part of two people, that the purpose of their relationship is not so much material as spiritual, and the internal skills demanded by it are prodigious.
12
13
CEOs resign when the internal dynamics of the company and the external dynamics of the company actually come together to say it is appropriate. When the internal dynamics ask you whether you have a replacement. I think the transition from CEOships have also become cartoonish.
14
15
Internal fights between various agencies, i.e. between the CIA and FBI, are highly counterproductive.
16
17
I think one of the things that started to hinder Baldwin as an artist later on was that he became really aware of power, so he wanted it, too. But if you look at the work before that, before ‘The Fire Next Time‘ put him on the cover of ‘Time Magazine,’ it was much more intimate and a much more internal conversation.
18
19
I discovered that as a founder and now CEO, my commitment to and passion for Affectiva is super contagious. It is contagious with my team and at internal company meetings, injecting a new energy and sense of camaraderie.

When women reassert their relationship with the wildish nature, they are gifted with a permanent and internal watcher, a knower, a visionary, an oracle, an inspiratrice, an intuitive, a maker, a creator, an inventor, and a listener who guide, suggest, and urge vibrant life in the inner and outer world.
34
35
36
Ms. Rice was a bad national security adviser and a bad secretary of state. She was on the wrong side of some of the administration‘s biggest internal policy fights.

37
By protecting our internal market, the Union and its people will be stronger than ever before.

52
But the Committee for Industrial Organizations is here. It is now henceforth a definite instrumentality, destined greatly to influence the lives of our people and the internal and external course of the republic.
53
54
55
I can’t think of a single one of my plays that does not represent a coincidence between an external and an internal event. Something outside of me, outside even my own life, something I read in a newspaper or witness on the street, something I see or hear, fascinates me. I see it for its dramatic potential.
56
57
The best characters to play are the ones who have deep internal conflict.

59
We need to stay on the leading edge of technology, that technology in our products, in our internal process and manufacturing. But most importantly, we need the talent. It’s multidisciplinary talent. It’s talent that knows how to operate globally, that has technology savvy and a business savvy.
60
Somehow, people get very nervous about leaving the comfortable life of rules behind and never take the chance to develop their own internal voice, to listen to their own consciousness.
61
62
I think screenplay is hard. I’ve tried that, and it felt really difficult; like, all the stuff I think I’m good at, like description and internal experience and memory, you can’t do that – or, at least, I couldn’t figure out a way.
63
The Wonderful pistachios campaign is a great example – I don’t involve myself with a project I don’t feel passionate about. I could talk your ear off about internal statistics for WWE and what we have planned for the future. Why do I know that stuff? Because I like to do all that stuff.
64
65
For me, there is a stigma attached to playing beautiful parts. They are often empty characters whom the action happens around. I’m more drawn to characters with a complex internal life, who have a burning frustration underneath that keeps them going.
66
67
68
Technology businesses in general are susceptible to hacking. That’s why you have to work really, really, really hard with law enforcement, with security experts, internal and external groups, to make sure you’re paying attention and addressing security concerns.
69
70
71
Long-term, we must begin to build our internal strengths. It isn’t just skills like computer technology. It’s the old-fashioned basics of self-reliance, self-motivation, self-reinforcement, self-discipline, self-command.
72
Thinking has become a superfluous exercise… purely internal, without compelling force, more or less a game.
73
The internal conditions in Iran are worsening in all aspects. Poverty and unemployment are becoming more severe, despite the fact that Iran has turned into a developed and industrialized country.
74
I’ve really been working on the emotional and internal issues that made me eat in the first place. It’s been a real journey.
75
76
You have to seed internal disruptors. You need sources of internal disruption. They don’t guarantee your survival, but you have got to try.
77
Somehow it helps just to take something that’s internal and externalize it, to see it in front of you.
78
I guess television is so much on the word. It’s so much closer to playwriting – the scale is more just about the voices and the internal lives. Movies, it’s a very different canvas.
79
80
I think the internal combustion engine will disappear from the streets of our cities in the next thirty years because transportation will be mass transportation, or probably electrical power.
81
82
I think that all politicians who aspire to the presidency are a little nuts, but for different reasons. What kind of person aspires to be the most powerful person in the world? The answer is someone with an internal drive that is so dynamic and so determined.
83
Everyone has an internal age, a time in life when one is, if not one’s best, then at very least one’s most authentic self. I always felt that my internal clock was calibrated somewhere between 47 and 53 years old.
84
The last thing that Israel needs is to be part of the internal agenda in the United States between Republicans and Democrats.
85
In the end, for me, music is such an internal thing that to let the outside world influence would be against my modus operandi.
86
87
88
In North America, the greatest threat to the Jewish people is not the external force of antisemitism, but the internal forces of apathy, inertia and ignorance of our own heritage.
89
Ultimately, however bad a situation is for people, especially if it’s a condition of love or some internal dialogue, I think most people would agree that when you look back on it, those times are well remembered.
90
91
92
My main theme as a songwriter seems to be a feeling of homelessness, of being in motion. The feeling of being somehow unmoored, a radical internal freedom that is very painful and also joyful.
93
94
95
96
And a pang is ultimately private. It’s not a thing that gets broadcast to the world; it’s a kind of internal alarm that sounds when something has to change and it has to change fast.
97
98
Historical fiction was not – and is not – meant to supplant literature from the period it describes. As a veteran of the Crimea, Tolstoy wrote ‘War and Peace’ to match his own internal sense of the truth of the Napoleonic wars, to dramatize what he felt literature from that period had failed to describe.
99
The paradigm for intelligence was logical reasoning, and the idea of what an internal representation would look like was it would be some kind of symbolic structure. That has completely changed with these big neural nets.
100
Most people in this country believe that the American Communist Party and its dupes are the chief internal enemy of our economic system and our form of government. This is a serious mistake.
101
102
Amidst all the internal and external babble we experience daily, it’s hard to find one’s foundation.
103
104
105
106
In A.I., the holy grail was how do you generate internal representations.
107
108
109

110
I am so glad that as a party the Liberal Democrats are united in our resolve to fight for staying in the EU – it means we don’t need to waste time on internal infighting.
111
112
You cannot see the changes that you’re dreaming about, because they’re internal.
113
Depression is internal. The upswings and downswings have pretty much nothing to do with what’s going on in the external world. It’s not like something sad happens to you and then you feel sad. Good things happen, but you feel sad anyway.
114
115
This is my spiritual journey through life, my way of making sense of the world. I don’t need permission from anyone or accolades from anyone; it is completely internal.
116
117
118
119
120
121
A lot of time when you’re out injured is spent with internal reflection and kind of looking at yourself in the mirror and deciding who you want to be and where you fit in.
122
123
Life hands us a lot of hard choices, and other people can help us more than we might realize. We often think we should make important decisions using just our own internal resources. What are the pros and cons? What does my gut tell me? But often we have friends and family who know us in ways we don’t know ourselves.
124
John Quincy Adams ranks with Jimmy Carter on the roster of ex-presidential redemption. Instead of completing a biography of his father, he let himself be elected to the House, where he spent nine terms in Whiggish opposition to the Democrats, supporting a national bank and a protective tariff and internal improvements.
125
I have always connected to stories with characters that don’t fit in and have a constant internal battle between their better nature and the darkness within.
126
Maybe I am skipping over the city and going from very personal things to the world, from internal experience to giant, far-away-from-space experience.
127
All the other characters are so well-rounded, and it’s just frustrating because female characters aren’t. It’s not that they’re badly written, they’re just underwritten. They have no internal monologues; they could be absolutely anyone.
128
I have nothing but unreserved praise for our armed forces, paramilitary and internal security forces. Their sacrifices to preserve the integrity and unity of our country present a saga of unparalleled courage and discipline.
129
130
The chief internal enemies of any state are those public officials who betray the trust imposed upon them by the people.
131
132
133
We’ve had a major shift in what truth is and where it comes from. We’ve gone from being God-centered to self-centered, from being objective to being subjective, and from being internal to external.
134
Sure, I am funny and have a good sense of humor. Mostly, though, I just tell the truth. The internal dialogue people have in their heads – I just write it.
135
136
Fiction just has a lot more room for ambivalence and internal conflict, contradiction, and for me that sums up so much of what people felt after 9/11 – confusion even. And I think that’s hard to capture in journalism.
137
I didn’t need to be motivated by other people overlooking me. My motivation was internal, to be better every day.
138
If you tried to transplant an internal combustion engine and gearbox into another car, you have to bring with it all the systems and everything else to communicate with each other. But in an electric car, it’s much simpler.
139
I actually want to hold on to where I came from, and also I want to be at this bar in Brooklyn, even if I’m not drinking at all. What does that tension look like? It’s less an attack on the parents and more an interrogation of personal guilt, personal responsibility. That’s my internal dialogue.
140
141
142
143
I think the biggest challenge for Somalia has been the sense that it is a hopeless case of incomprehensible internal conflicts and there is nothing we can do.
144
145
146
I don’t care about the internal political system of the United States. I want to be a friend of United States, of its baseball, its institutions, its rock and roll, its workers, and its technology because we need it. I want to be friends of the Arab people, of the Persian people, of the Asian people.
147
148
149
150
We got government off the backs of the people of India, particularly off the backs of India’s entrepreneurs. We introduced more competition, both internal competition and external competition. We simplified and rationalized the tax system. We made risk-taking much more attractive.
151
‘Liberation’ is an interesting word because you can be liberated from external things and also from your internal dialogue.
152
153
The higher a book’s sales ranks, the better chances it has of being noticed by Amazon’s internal recommendations engine.
154
People love to play expectations games, and that is always bad for collaboration internal to a team, with your manager, or externally with customers.
155
You have to learn how to listen to your emotions, letting your internal compass guide you. Your emotions let you know when you are on and off track.
156
I use music to focus, like an internal motor.
157
Feeling successful is internal, not external.
158
159
160
I like playing characters with internal problems.
161
162
163
I’m told by our internal surveys that we take of customers – by customers themselves directly and by a very large group of our employees – that there’s a new spirit at United.
164
165
There must be free and open interdepartmental discussion and consideration of everyone’s ideas and opinions. These internal discussions must not be considered an invasion of turf, and must remain private… When everyone is on the same page, trust develops, and teams can grow and succeed together.
166
Authenticity does matter, but only as it serves the novel’s more traditional literary demands: that the fault lines be drawn where the internal life and the larger world meet.
167
168
Feeling ‘ugly‘ or ‘unattractive‘ seeps into your life like poison, and it affects everything. Feeling worthless does the same. We internalise these limitations, and it takes an internal revolution to get rid of them.
169
The number one taboo for boys is to be feminine, so for someone to not only override their internal directive but society‘s directive is mind-boggling and heroic. It’s courageous.
170
Abortions can be, and frequently are, traumatizing, as are other invasive surgeries performed to the sexual and internal organs. All or any of these ‘violations‘ can cause loss of vitality, diminished capacity for erotic connection and pleasure, and other symptoms of trauma.
171
I believe that ‘passion’ is another word for energy. That’s it. What energizes you? And that – we naturally have a tremendous amount of body wisdom about that, and that every one of us has a internal fuel tank that is either empty or full. And if you’re empty, you feel depleted. If you’re full, you feel energized.
172
173
Law gave me some structure… all these rules and internal disciplines.
174
175
President Obama has now had his Nixonian ‘I’m not a crook‘ moment, taking to the airwaves to feign angry indignation about the Internal Revenue Service targeting his enemies while denying any knowledge whatsoever of what his administration had been up to.
176
177
What I see as the particularly exciting prospect for writing horror fiction as we go forward is setting stories in more internal landscapes than external ones, mapping out the mind as the home for scary things instead of the house at the end of the lane or lakeside campground or abandoned amusement park.
178
Britain has national honor. It would not have allowed Israel to meddle in its internal affairs.
179
You see people doing Java-based internal applications all over the place, regular desktop applications that are sort of front-ends to the things in the back, or standalone things.
180
181
182
Monologues are self-verifying and self-referencing, a world in their own right, one with its own internal logic that strengthens with reiteration.
183
184
But we can turn challenges into opportunities if we look outwards to the realities of the global economy and modernise our internal institutions in ways that will equip Europe to meet that challenge and create confidence amongst the public.
185
While a strong presence on our southern border is imperative, the border cannot be secured unless we enforce our internal laws and stop ignoring the open complicity of U.S. companies and foreign nations to promote illegal activities.
186
187
188
189
I think there’s a difference between internal confidence and situational confidence and understanding.
190
191
192
193
194
195
I’m a spiritual person and a religious person. But for me, it’s all a personal thing. I’m not someone who’ll say, ‘This is what I believe, and you should too!’ It’s more of an internal, quiet, grounded, fulfilling thing for me.
196
197
As soon as we can wrest from Nature the secret of the internal structure of the compounds produced by her, chemical science can then even surpass Nature by producing compounds as variations of the natural ones, which the living cell is unable to construct.
198
We can’t make any statements here. We can’t talk about the internal politics of Paraguay.
199
It is my responsibility to ensure the Internal Revenue Service respects the Constitutional rights of all Americans while enforcing the nation’s laws.
200
I really like people who have the gift of the gab. I like characters that are very eloquent, articulate and confident in what they’re saying. Especially coming off ‘Captain America,’ who’s very internal and intimate, I’d love to play someone who wears their emotions on their sleeves, potentially to a fault.
201
Stress eating is huge – I did a lot during lockdown, and I think that’s half the battle. We give ourselves such a hard time, our internal voice is so aggressive and we need to start being kinder to ourselves.
202
I don’t think anybody ever thought about the CIA meddling in internal affairs. The shock of the President’s death called for an immediate investigation. It actually lay in the jurisdiction of Texas.
203
204
205
206
207
I went right from wunderkind to washed up. Old. Been around too long. That’s just the way I feel. That’s my internal dialogue.
208
I was born too late to have any temptation with communism, or at least Soviet-type communism. Travelling in Eastern Europe and the ex-Soviet Union, you clearly don’t want to defend a system that would have empty shops and a totalitarian regime and internal passports.
209
Ours is a party with internal democracy. When we take a collective decision, it is not taken by a few people. It is taken only after serious analysis and wide consultations, in a true and democratic manner.
210
Unfortunately, oftentimes people hire and give opportunities to people that look like them. They don’t realize how much their own internal lives or privilege gets in the way of looking for people outside of the traditional spaces where they always find people.
211
We never had a giant library or owned a lot of commercial characters the way most studios did. And since we didn’t have a lot of internal resources, we had to find ways to be inventive and resourceful, which I think is a healthy way to run a good business.
212
Daring to make films of any kind and thus invite the possibility of ridicule was an internal battle of mine for many years as I worked on the screenplay for what would become ‘Dear White People’ beginning at the end of George W. Bush’s second term.
213
Initially I was very drawn to the Tao Te Ching, the Taoist philosophy. It was helping me deal with the balance of these external and internal issues with my chess life. Tai chi is the martial embodiment of Taoist philosophy. Initially, I had no intention of competing in the martial arts; it was just the meditation.
214
That part, that internal dialogue that has a lot of ups and downs and darks and lights and stuff – that, I think, is where music comes from. I think the face that you put on when you’re talking to people and making small talk, I don’t think that’s where music comes from.
215
216
Fridges can be modified to nudge their internal thermostats up and down just a little in response to the main’s frequency in such a way that, without ever jeopardising the temperature of your butter, they tend to take power at times that help the grid.
217
I have a better internal and intuitive understanding of folklore and myth than science and technology, so in that way fantasy is easier.
218
It would be against all nature for all the Negroes to be either at the bottom, top, or in between. We will go where the internal drive carries us like everybody else. It is up to the individual.
219
But, on balance, we seized the marketplace. We’ve got a great infrastructure. And yes it’s struggling in some areas because of some external factors and some internal factors.
220
221
222
223
224
225
Putting an end to usurious rates is not going to be as simple as asking banks to lay down internal guidelines, policies and procedures.
226
I’m not interested in stirring anybody up through music. If you’re going to stir people up, it has to be a thought process that has nothing to do with music. I see music as having to do with an internal thing. Something that stirs you up is external.
227
I’d advise my American friends not to meddle in the internal affairs of China.
228
Everybody can make a choice to be more positive. It’s about who you hang around and what you choose to watch on TV. What environment you put yourself in. It’s easy to get a negative internal dialogue. You have to be aware of what’s playing in your mind.
229
Many people don’t have an internal vision to go after something, fight for something, make a plan. So the biggest thing is – until you get picked up by a major label or until something breaks, you need to plan out what your dream is going to be.
230
231
I don’t believe it helps when internal affairs are made public.
232
233
234
Descriptive Anatomy comprises a detailed account of the numerous organs of which the body is formed, especially with reference to their outward form, their internal structure, the mutual relations they bear to each other, and the successive conditions they present during their development.
235
The key point to understand is that prosperity is an internal experience, not an external state, and it is an experience that is not tied to having a certain amount of money.
236
To tell you the truth, people might think going from a model to a North Korean defector would’ve been difficult in appearance. For me, the focus was not on the external but internal side of things, to fully understand Sae-byeok’s life.
237
238
Violence in drama is an external contextualization of internal conflicts.
239
I really do think that science has an internal structure, and it makes sense, and we can test it.
240
Could we design an all-glass building with internal channels and networks for airflow and water circulation? Can we surpass the great modern tradition of discrete formal and functional partitions and generate an all-in-one building skin?
241
242
What I strive to do is to make the theater experience something that people remember and recall rather than dismiss because it was less like their everyday experiences. So, I’m less interested in internal emotionalism and much more in making the audience laugh and cry by the devices that we use as theater actors.
243
244
External nature is only internal nature writ large.
245
Beauty comes in all forms. It’s not just external; it’s internal as well.
246
247
It really gets into your system. All baseball players have this internal clock around February when it starts to kick in and the juices start to flow. I think underestimated how much I was going to miss it.
248
China, frankly, can be an opportunity for Africa based on the huge infrastructure deficit on the continent, but what needs to happen is that governments and citizens have to build internal ownership of the need of good governance, transparency, accountability, for respect for the environment.
249
From all this it follows what the general character of the problem of the development of a body of scientific knowledge is, in so far as it depends on elements internal to science itself.
250
You have to have your own internal barometer of what is too far. I try and consider feelings of people in the audience. What you have to try and do is that when there is something that could be seen as a transgression, you actually have a reason to justify the joke.
251
Maybe the best example of the unmuscled hero is Humphrey Bogart in ‘Casablanca.’ Bogart was 15 years older than Ingrid Bergman, and it did not matter at all. He had the experience, the confidence, the internal strength that can only come with age.
252
I have an excellent internal compass.
253
254
255
Because essentially Schoenberg was an extremely gifted man. And in spite of many of his theories and so on, when he really began to write music, he still was guided very much by his internal hearing, by what we call your internal ear.
256
There is a severe shortage in our country of political parties where internal democracy is alive and kicking.
257
258
259
260
I think the biggest problem working with me would be that I’m an only child, and so I have an internal dialogue that goes on that I just assume you can hear.
261
I think all foreigners should stop interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq. Those who want to come and help are welcome. Those who come to interfere and destroy are not.
262
A smartphone links patients‘ bodies and doctors‘ computers, which in turn are connected to the Internet, which in turn is connected to any smartphone anywhere. The new devices could put the management of an individual’s internal organs in the hands of every hacker, online scammer, and digital vandal on Earth.
