When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better. After all, nobody’s right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day.

I always felt really alone because no one wanted to talk about the things that I enjoyed, and that was really rap music and hip-hop as a culture. You know, having the shoes, using the words, buying the magazines, seeing the videos. And I had nobody to share it with, so I feel like I lived a lot online.
16
‘Back To Love‘ is a way of letting people know that sometimes you get caught up in trying to be successful in school or in your social life, and it’s a reminder not to forget that each day people are getting older. Nobody is promised tomorrow, so we should make sure that we spend quality time with quality people.

Me don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side, not the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.

When we started the e-commerce, nobody believed that China would have e-commerce because people believed in ‘guang-shi,’ face-to-face, and all kinds of network in traditional ways. There’s no trust system in China.

32

34
35
There are a lot of things that are personally uncomfortable to show, especially me without makeup and completely bloated or crying. But I’ve realized that it’s time for me to show my audience that you don’t have to be perfect to achieve your dreams. Because nobody relates to being perfect.
36
Success is not greedy, as people think, but insignificant. That is why it satisfies nobody.
37
We have never, ever, in the history of football seen a guy that possesses what Aaron Rodgers possesses. Nobody, no quarterback in history, has the touch, the accuracy, the ability to throw the ball moving left or right, throw the ball from the pocket, throw the ball from different plains.

Nobody likes to be found out, not even one who has made ruthless confession a part of his profession. Any autobiographer, therefore, at least between the lines, spars with his reader and potential judge.
50
Everybody is replaceable; nobody is irreplaceable here. If I’m going to say no to it because I want to do two films a year and sit at home, someone else will.
51
Hunter and I never got proper journalistic accreditation to go anywhere. Nobody was giving us passes to go in here or there. We always had to somehow talk our way in.
52

53
Nobody’s perfect, so don’t go out there and try to act like you got to live a perfect life. Be yourself, and be happy with it.
54
What I like about New York City is nobody cares. If they do, they don’t ever approach. They just give you a ‘What’s up?’ and that’s it.
55
Nobody really needs a painting. It’s something you kind of create value for in a way that you don’t with a company. It’s an act of collective faith what an object is worth. Maintaining that value system is part of what a dealer does, not just making a transaction but making sure that important art feels important.
56
57
If I had my career to play over, one thing I’d do differently is swing more. Those 1,200 walks I got, nobody remembers them.
58
59
The guy that just arranges things so that the stock market holds up is nobody in my – in my estimation.
60
Perfect is not on the menu. Nobody is going to be your ideal candidate. You can’t dream somebody up out of nothing that’s going to be the perfect candidate, so you do have to pick between a series of bad choices.
61
The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.
62
The truth is nobody can own anything. That was an unheard-of concept among indigenous people. We invented that.

68
Nobody will ever value you more than the guys that drafted you.
69
I’m a real big Marilyn Manson fan. I get a lot of my styles from him. Not even musically – living-wise, too. Marilyn Manson definitely shows me you shouldn’t care what nobody say. I watched a bunch of his interviews, and he’s not just an artist; he’s one of the most intelligent people I ever saw in my life.
70
There was a period of 10 years where the conventional wisdom was Black shows don’t sell overseas, therefore nobody is interested.
71
The biggest development in reproductive biology is the birth-control pill. Nobody ever talks about it, but look at the consequences: demographics; aging populations; the sinking population of Europe, Japan; immigration. It’s incredible.
72
73
74
You got the ball in your hands and you’re in command, and if you get your good pitch where you want it, nobody’s gonna hit you.

It’s harder to be a success, globally, and be artistic. Harder to have that balance than just to be artistic when nobody understands you.
76
77

79
80
81

91
Nobody ever knows how big a song is going to be.
92
93
People tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think. Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then at a certain point, if you’re lucky, you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life.
94
95
Because nobody goes through life without a scar.
96
97
Nobody expects girls to do something smart or give one liners in a film.
98

I think – whether it’s music, literature, sport, art, whatever you want – there’s nobody who can stop us if we only apply ourselves with the singular objective of being the best in the world.
109
110
111
In the middle of the night, when you’re ambiguously ethnic, like me, when you’re brown, beige, mauve, siena, one of those lighter browns in the Crayola box. You have to be careful of the cops and robbers, because nobody’s quite sure what you are, but everybody has assumptions.
112
Everybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them.
113

114
115
116

126
127
If I had known how hard it would be to do something new, particularly in the payments industry, I would never have started PayPal. That’s why nobody with long experience in banking had done it. You needed to be naive enough to think that new things could be done.

Nobody ever built a statue to a committee.
129
Criminals know that if they stay under certain thresholds, nobody is going to come after them.

136
Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.
137
If you have a rigidly controlled economy, cut off from the rest of the world by infinite protection, nobody has any incentive to increase productivity and to bring new ideas.
138
139
I grew up at the base of a mountain in Virginia, so my comfort zone is that Appalachian area, where all the dudes wear Carhartt and all the women can put on a beautiful sweater with a snowman applique and nobody raises an eyebrow.
140
I bleed like nobody else.
141
During the Depression, my dad made radios to sell to make extra money. Nobody had any money to buy the radios, so he would trade them for dogs. He built kennels in the backyard, and he cared for the dogs.
142
The thing about death is it’s so final, isn’t it, really? As far as we know… Nobody has ever come back and told us about it.
143
144
145
146
I find infidelity interesting because it’s so revelatory about people. It’s this really silent thing. Everyone acknowledges it as a general practice, but nobody likes to go beyond that, to get down to the nitty-gritty.
147
I have a whole area in my closet for displaying shoes. They are in rows. But nobody comes in my closet, so they are only on display for me. It’s pretty spectacular.
148
149
Nobody in Singapore drinks Singapore Slings. It’s one of the first things you find out there. What you do in Singapore is eat. It’s a really food-crazy culture, where all of this great food is available in a kind of hawker-stand environment.
150
151
Discipline yourself. Be conscious of what you think, and what you like. What gets you mad? What gets you in your feelings? Figure that stuff out and take control of it so nobody else can control you.

156
157

158
159

160
I can literally walk around at our own shows, and nobody recognizes me.
161
North Korea spends billions of dollars to make this nuke test system. If they would spend just 20 percent of what they spent on making nuclear weapons, nobody would have to die in North Korea from hunger but the regime chose to make us hungry.
162
Nobody understands me, I’m really sensitive.
163
164
When ‘Pizza‘ released, I was a nobody. Initially, we managed to get only 100 screens. But, after its success, the producers of ‘Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom’ got 150 screens and also released the film in the U.S. Now, distributors are keen to invest in my films because they feel I have face value.
165
166
Nobody does good to men with impunity.
167
Before every show, I would call my mother and say, ‘Mummy, I don’t know how I will sing today.’ But that would change as soon as I went on stage and would merge with my music. She is my best ally, and I don’t want to lose her. Nobody other than her would be concerned if I had eaten or had oiled my hair. She is my queen.
168
169
There’s nobody in the world that knows me better than my sister.
170
171
172
173
174
175
The byproduct of the main thrust to protect the biodiversity of a given place is that you get especially young people out to the parks, because it will be future generations that will have to value these landscapes and these ecosystems and make sure that nobody is changing the law.
176
177
Don’t ever break someone’s trust. Once you do, then nobody wants to do business with you.

179
Nobody needs to cry for me. I’m going to be great.
180
Nobody can tell you what your destiny is.
181
My first show was called ‘I Know I’ve Been Changed‘ in ’92. I tried to do this show for years and years. It kept failing over and over and over again. Every time I went out to do the show, nobody showed up. I was like, ‘What is this about?’
182
As to which is cuter, a puppy or a baby, I’m going to say that probably depends less on the particular puppy and more on the baby. I’ve seen pictures of me as an infant and consider myself lucky that nobody ever offered my parents the opportunity to trade me for a beagle.
183
Nobody loves me but my mother, and she could be jivin’, too.
184
Police are not all bad guys. Nobody is all bad guys.
185
Oh man, nobody is as tough as Mr T. Ice T is pretty tough though as well.
186
187
188
I was kind of a misfit, actually. When you’re young, you want to be like everybody else, and I was like nobody else. I couldn’t sit still. I was impulsive. I still am. What is now called a ‘talent’ did not serve me well as a child. I didn’t have friends. I was really an outcast.
189
190
191
Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
192
193
The joy of doing ‘Sandman’ was doing a comic and telling people, ‘No, it has an end,’ at a time when nobody thought you could actually get to the end and stop doing a comic that people were still buying just because you’d finished.
194
There were plenty of other hominids, but they disappeared, probably because humans exterminated them, but nobody knows for sure.
195
Nobody’s irreplaceable, including me. I think for too long we’ve had a cult of personality in this company and in this industry, and frankly, I’d like to see that diminish.
196
197
Before the first year, nobody gave it a chance. Now, 36 years later, everybody knows Monday Night Football.
198
199
200
201
Nobody will deny that there is at least some roughness everywhere.
202
203
Everybody has a hacking capability. And probably every intelligence service is hacking in the territory of other countries. But who exactly does what? That would be a very sensitive piece of information. But it’s very difficult to communicate about it. Because nobody wants to admit the scope of what they’re doing.
204
It’s funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they’ll do practically anything you want them to.
205
206
207
Nobody likes, you know, the ugly parts of politics.
208
In America nobody says you have to keep the circumstances somebody else gives you.
209
210
At the end of the day, nobody cares how much you tried, what the deal was, or if you were a good guy or a bad guy.
211
212
I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.
213
214
In 1945, the world was in a shambles. American companies had no competition. So nobody really thought much about quality. Why should they? The world bought everything America produced. It was a prescription for disaster.
215
If you don’t value and respect yourself, nobody else will.
216
When I came to Johannesburg from the countryside, I knew nobody, but many strangers were very kind to me. I then was dragged into politics, and then, subsequently, I became a lawyer.
217
I got everything from someone. Nobody can be original.
218
219
I don’t care what straight people do, I don’t care what gay people do. I don’t care what nobody do. That’s they business. I just care about what I do. You know what I’m saying?
220
We used to play music for fun. Much more than now. Now nobody picks up a guitar unless they’re paid for it.
221
222
223
I decide my future. I decide what I want to do. Nobody else. If I decide this will be my last year, maybe it is. If I decide it will be my last contract, I decide that. Nobody else. So I will decide when the moment is there.
224
225
Do what nobody else can do for you. Omit to do anything else.
226
227
I kind of liked the idea of filming musicians. I could like a musician and know, at the same time, maybe nobody else maybe liked them much or appreciated them.
228
229
230
I’m not working at the Chevron, although I’d probably be the best person to work the night shift. Look at me. Nobody would try to steal a Snickers on my watch.
231
232
Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.
233
I would say that nobody is going to work harder for your career than yourself – the one with the vision. No matter how many people you hire, nobody is going to get is as much as yourself does. So it’s really important to be your own leader at all times and not hand it all off, otherwise the whole empire will fall apart.
234
I think people stop themselves from doing the things they want to do. I just think you never know how long you’re going to be around so you might as well do the things that are intriguing. Nobody really cares anyway so you have to do what makes you happy.
235
236
237
238
When I won the world championship, in 1972, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, a baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country.
239
Nobody understands another’s sorrow, and nobody another’s joy.
240
All my good movies, nobody sees.
241
242
The funny thing about insane people is that it is kind of the opposite of being a celebrity. Nobody envies you.
243
Nobody’s gonna care about your stuff the way you do.
244
I had very few friends. There was nobody I could trust. I left home when I was fifteen. I lived in Washington Square Park.
245
246
Nobody challenges me. I challenge myself.
247
248
Nobody can tell me where I can and can’t go.
249
I feel like ‘I Am The Best’ or ‘Can’t Nobody’ are very much 2NE1’s style, if that’s how you want to put it.
250
251
252
Who wants a stylus. You have to get em and put em away, and you lose em. Yuck. Nobody wants a stylus.
253
Discovery is seeing what everybody else has seen, and thinking what nobody else has thought.
254
People realize this man knows what the hell’s going on and nobody else does.
255
It’s so funny: whenever there’s a new technology introduced, there’s always this fear it’s going to end entertainment as we know it. When records came around, they were going to be the end of live music. Nobody would ever want to go see live music again.
256
257
This is a free country, and nobody should be criticized for their political beliefs. We’re all allowed to have our opinions.
258
259
Compensation needs to be predominately performance-driven. If CEO compensation was performance-driven, which I believe it was in IBM’s case, nobody would ever argue. If the shareholders didn’t make billions and billions of dollars, I wouldn’t make millions of dollars.
260
He who believes in nobody knows that he himself is not to be trusted.
261
262
However happy people say they are, nobody is satisfied: we always have to be with the prettiest woman, buy a bigger house, change cars, desire what we do not have.
263
One of my bywords is that nobody knows anything, including me.
264
I think if transvestites don’t stand up for themselves, nobody else is going to stand up for transvestites.
265
266
I may be president of the United States, but my private life is nobody’s damned business.
267
We are not giving up on the Coyotes in the Greater Phoenix Area… The team has got a number of options and is going to pursue them, so nobody should think that team is moving other than out of Glendale.
268
269
270
I don’t know who’s left to hear us. But if there are people who want the real thing, we’ve got it. My band rocks, and I plan to keep doing it ’till nobody shows up to see it anymore.
271
I’d like to write some songs that are so good that nobody understands them. Not even myself.
272
The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads.
273
274
275
Didn’t the other guys tell you? Nobody dunks on Manute B-O-L!
276
In North Korean culture, love is a shameful thing and nobody talked about it in public. The regime was not interested in human desires and love stories were banned.
277
I don’t hate nobody. I hate certain conditions that are inflicted upon the people – and they’re helpless with it.
278
279
280
281
Private dreams are the most powerful. You have to dream of success to make it happen, and if you don’t believe in yourself, nobody else will. But that doesn’t mean you have to go around telling everyone about it.
282
Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he’s losing; nobody wants you to quit when you’re ahead.
283
284
Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.
285
286
We all have something about ourselves that we’d change if we could in a perfect world, be it our body image, our financial status, our relationship, whatever. I wanted to talk about how nobody’s exempted from the realities of life and all those things.
287
288
There’s nobody else that can double me – except for a doll.
289
290
If you’re not comfortable with public speaking – and nobody starts out comfortable; you have to learn how to be comfortable – practice. I cannot overstate the importance of practicing. Get some close friends or family members to help evaluate you, or somebody at work that you trust.
291
Growing up, I never expressed myself to nobody. I never told nobody when something was wrong.
292
Each doctor makes a much, much more important job than I do, but at the end, nobody talks about him. We all know about it, but we don’t really think about it.
293
Sure, every young person dreams about being famous, but nobody wants to be famous – unless they’re Zsa Zsa Gabor – every single moment of every single day.
294
Definitely just growing up in general influenced me; Detroit happened to be where I was. I feel like the city definitely has made an impact on my life and made me who I am. Detroit has an unmistakable soul – nobody can duplicate the soul we bring to the game. From Motown to J Dilla to Eminem to anything.
295
296
I can think of films that I’m producing right now that are extremely hard-hitting, graphic films, that nobody necessarily wants to see, graphic in terms of violence, of adult content and racial and historical subject matter.
297
That is why we are working with these various groups that have volunteers. We can get a lot of these things done. Nobody has dropped out, and a lot of people would like to join. We now know what each other does.
298
299
Kids are falling through the cracks and nobody notices it. That to me is what’s wrong with the school system.
300
I never criticized one person in any way that I did not believe was true. How am I a mean guy if I’m telling the truth? Because nobody wants to hear the truth.
301
He who praises everybody, praises nobody.
302
Nobody in Europe will be abandoned. Nobody in Europe will be excluded. Europe only succeeds if we work together.
303
Nobody knows what the future is except for wizards.
304
Like people coming up to me like, ‘Nobody ever told you that you look like Lil Baby?’ But I’ll be like, nah. Or like, somebody told me that. I’ll never just say, it’s me.
305
Obviously I do have political views – I’m a believer in the free-market economy; I also believe that without competition and respect for human rights there will be no progress because nobody will feel safe and free.
306
If you try to create something that everybody can relate to, you’re gonna make something that nobody can relate to.
307
I’ve been in situations where I was the only black guy. We’re in a time now where nobody wants to see that. But it still happens.
308
The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking.
309
310
I don’t fear nobody, and that’s how I live my life. I live my life with no fears.
311
312
313
314
315
I already know what people are going to say about me, and judge me for the decisions that I’m making, and I’m going to be the one who has to deal with that, and nobody else. And that’s a lot.
316
People who got on their feet and freaked about were called idiot dancers. and nobody wants to be called an idiot dancer. But the whole idea of rock and roll is to get people off their arses – that’s what it’s about.
317
When you’re poor, you are invisible. Every poor person will tell you nobody sees you. So being famous was me just wanting to be seen.
318
I think human beings have a really broad spectrum of traits, and I almost feel implicated when we say, ‘Men are like this, women are like this.’ Nobody was telling me, ‘Don’t get dirty, don’t play in the mud, girls don’t do that.’
319
320
We earned our dollars in a hard way;, nobody gave us a feast or gave it on a plate. We worked hard and we have innovated; we have made things in a better way at a cheaper rate and gave it to the people of India.
321
322
323
324
I’ve been doing this for 33 years, and sometimes you make movies and nobody cares. But when people care, it’s the greatest thing in the world – even when it’s passionately against the title – because it’s going to start a conversation.
325
I speak my mind, so I don’t hold my tongue for nobody.
326
Nobody has wrestled everybody in the business like I have, especially not Bret Hart.
327
I’ve seen comparisons between myself and Bobby Moore. It’s nice to be told there are similarities, but nobody will come close to him – what a player, what a man!
328
For a really long time, I thought being different was a negative thing. But as I grew older, I started to realize we were all born to stand out; nobody is born to blend in.
329
Nobody minds having what is too good for them.
330
The children in ‘Nobody Knows’ had a resonance with me. The children are projections of myself.
331
332
333
334

North Carolina has been so great because nobody asks me about work.
338
Life doesn’t run away from nobody. Life runs at people.
339
340
You have to realize that the customer really is king. People who go into more established businesses probably have to be careful not to be casual about that. When you have a brand-new business, and nobody knows who you are, you know you have to work really hard for your customers.
341
If you have a Stradivarius and nobody to play it, it’s just a Stradivarius. Or is it even that? It’s nothing.

343
When you’re sick, nobody takes care of you like your mom.
344
Nobody can hold me back when it’s time to play.
345

346
The reason that everybody likes planning is that nobody has to do anything.
347
Nobody in this country, the richest on Earth, should ever go hungry.

356
357
Nobody speaks the truth when there is something they must have.
358
I miss the early days; I do. I was so lucky. I basically had it to myself, learning about these chimpanzees. Nobody knew anything about them. Discovering their different personalities, different life histories. I was lucky.
359
360
361
As long as you remain true to yourself and continue training with sincerity, nobody can stop you from achieving excellence.
362
363
Nobody brainwashed me with God in my head or anything. I just saw this new reality, and I felt like I’ve been blinded, and I finally took the blindfolds off.
364
365
Nobody is perfect, but life is about choices.
366
If you don’t have an E-mail address, you’re in the Netherworld. If you don’t have your own World Wide Web page, you’re a nobody.
367
368
I think what makes people fascinating is conflict, it’s drama, it’s the human condition. Nobody wants to watch perfection.
369
I was terribly gawky, too goofy to become a high-kicking cheerleader, with stringy brown hair and bad posture. Definitely nobody noticeable!
370
371
If you’re doing well, you’re a target, nobody’s interested in you except how you can be of use to them.
372
373
Over the years all these vampire movies have come out and nobody looks like a vampire anymore.
374
375
Nobody really knows what they look like. The mirror shows you only what you want to see.
376
The film-school mantra is that if you don’t tell your own stories, nobody will.
377
378
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.
379
380
There’s nobody who has as big of a real-time logistics network than Uber.
381
382
There is an old show business saying which warns never to work with animals or children, but nobody prepared me for Molly Meldrum.
383
Many people love me, many people hate me – there’s nobody in between. That’s the way I prefer it.
384
385
If you keep proving stuff that others have done, getting confidence, increasing the complexities of your solutions – for the fun of it – then one day you’ll turn around and discover that nobody actually did that one!
386
387
388
Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.
389
Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow.
390
Nobody but you and your caddie care what you do out there, and if your caddie is betting against you, he doesn’t care, either.
391
392
There ain’t nobody I’d rather have alongside me in a fight than my mama with a broken bottle in her hand.
393
394
395
I never have really become accustomed to the ‘John.’ Nobody ever really calls me John… I’ve always been Duke or Marion or John Wayne. It’s a name that goes well together, and it’s like one word – John Wayne.
396
Nobody knows anything.
397
398
Nobody can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own.
399
400
Ultimately, when you’re out on track with your helmet on, nobody can see the driver. Nobody can judge you on what you look like if your hair is long or short, if you’re black or you’re white, if you’re male or female. All that matters is your performance.
401
If the people don’t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody’s going to stop them.
402
It’s very important in a restaurant to really do the right hiring because there’s no restaurant that you have one cook and one chef and nobody else in the kitchen. Generally you have five, ten, 15 people with you. So that’s really important is to train them right, but first you have to hire the right people.
403
404
Remember that nobody will ever get ahead of you as long as he is kicking you in the seat of the pants.
405
406
I used to hear people say nobody can prepare you for fame, and it’s actually very true. But there is such beauty that comes with it when you’re able to use your platform in a positive way.
407
Character is doing the right thing when nobody’s looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that’s right is to get by, and the only thing that’s wrong is to get caught.
408
409
The minute you got the Nobel Peace Prize, things that I said yesterday, with nobody paying too much attention, I say the same things after I got it – oh! It was quite crucial for people, and it helped our morale because apartheid did look invincible.
410
We have a safe and good command-and-control system. Nobody can take away any nuclear weapon from Pakistan.
411
I follow politics in a big way, and always have since I was a kid. I’ve got opinions, but they’re opinions on both sides – not just anti-Republican, which is a real popular thing for a rap artist to do. If you dis Republicans, nobody will get mad. I think the two-party system sucks. It’s absolutely ignorant.
412
Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
413
Nobody likes being around poor people, especially poor people.
414
For nobody is curious, who isn’t malevolent.
415
416
Pretty is so boring now. There are so many different definitions of ‘pretty.’ It’s so much broader than before. The old pretty is boring – nobody cares anymore.
417
418
Humans all want to beat the clock but nobody ever does.
419
420
421
Nobody likes to fail. I want to succeed in everything I do, which isn’t much. But the things that I’m really passionate about, if I fail at those, if I’m not successful, what do I have?
422
423
Nobody is as powerful as we make them out to be.
424
Nobody has a bigger cult than Warren Buffett.
425
If you know you are on the right track, if you have this inner knowledge, then nobody can turn you off… no matter what they say.
426
Even if I ain’t the famous-est, the richest, the best – as long as I know I kept it real and didn’t backstab nobody – I sleep good at night.
427
Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don’t, why should we? They talk about people and the proletariat; I talk about the suckers and the mugs. It’s the same thing.
428
429
Nobody doesn’t like meat.
430
As a stunt woman, I took it upon myself to be a bit of a jock about it. So you wouldn’t see me vulnerable, you wouldn’t see me hurting or sad because I was there as a professional to do my job. Nobody likes to see a girl get hurt – that’s the truth of it – so I had to put them at ease so they would let me do my job.
431
432
I was not popular in school, and I was definitely not a ladies‘ man. And I had a very painful adolescence, because it was all very strange to me. It wasn’t like I got beat up, but the humiliation and isolation, and the existential ‘God, I exist, and nobody cares’ of being a teenager were extremely pronounced for me.
433
I have a great deal of company in the house, especially in the morning when nobody calls.
434
The misery of a child is interesting to a mother, the misery of a young man is interesting to a young woman, the misery of an old man is interesting to nobody.
435
Nobody cares what anyone did last year, whether you were good, whether you were bad, everybody has ambitions and aspirations for this year. But it really doesn’t matter until you go out there and prove it and you go out there and do it.
436
Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.
437
Failure worries me; nobody wants to fail. There is a fear that one day, films will not come my way, or if someone doesn’t watch your film, that is a worrying point. It is unpredictable in the industry.
438
439
440
Nobody can defeat you when you all are working together.
441
The Cold War was a boring thing. Nobody gets better for it. Tremendous money is wasted. Our lives get more difficult. We look at each other as enemies. What’s good in that? In any case, I will do anything in my power in order to stop another Cold War, with the U.S. or any other country in the world.
442
My music is mostly for the music. And it gives the liberty to do anything which I want. And nobody limits me to one genre of music. But I learn from life and I try to give back to life, in a way, whether it’s the thought of the song or whether it’s the approach to the arrangement or anything.
443
A girl phoned me the other day and said… ‘Come on over, there’s nobody home.’ I went over. Nobody was home.
444
I don’t want nobody to ever say, ‘I coulda done that beat’ or ‘I know where you got that from.’
445
There’s no doubt who was a leader in space after the Apollo Program. Nobody came close to us. And our education system, in science, technology, engineering and math, was at the top of the world. It’s no longer there. We’re descending rather rapidly.
446
The corporations are shoving just the worst music down everybody’s throats, and I think the result of that is that nobody has any taste. They have no bar as to what is good.
447
448
449
I’ve had other friends who had such a burning desire to have children: they have this biological ticking clock. I don’t know what happened to mine. Nobody ever wound it up.
450
Poor people cannot rely on the government to come to help you in times of need. You have to get your education. Then nobody can control your destiny.
451
452
I don’t kiss nobody’s butt.
453
I don’t have beef with nobody.
454
455
456
The thing about the NFL is nobody cares. Nobody feels bad for you. Nobody feels sorry for you… They don’t care if you’re hurt. They don’t care if you don’t feel good. You have a bad call. Play goes against you? No one cares. You’ve got to play. You’ve got to win.
457
When I wrote ‘Pink Houses,’ nobody was talking about that, right? The next thing I know, you can’t see the TV without hearing commercials with ‘Listen to the heartbeat of America,’ or ‘Born the American way.’ That whole America thing now – I hate it.
458
I made records for 20 years, I lived off it. But people would say I made so many mistakes, I did so many things you’re not supposed to do. I had a band name nobody could say. I didn’t play live. I never practiced, I never got better at my instrument.
459
In Paris, everybody wants to be an actor; nobody is content to be a spectator.
460
Don’t ever prophesy; for if you prophesy wrong, nobody will forget it; and if you prophesy right, nobody will remember it.
461
Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.
462
Nobody counts the number of ads you run; they just remember the impression you make.
463
464
465
We went from a world where almost nobody knew anything about computers to a world where almost all of us are computer geeks for a huge fraction of our day. And I’d like to see that happen with the digital world of biological molecules, too.
466
467
468
I am trying to be a good person. I am trying to be myself, and if nobody likes me for me, that is their problem.
469
Nobody had a credit card when I was a kid. No one had credit card debt. But these big companies and banks wanted to know how to get more money out of people – get them charging things.
470
I’m Braun Strowman. You can’t put me in a category with anyone. I’m my own entity – there’s nobody else like me – so I’m going to continue going out there to be Braun. I’m no good guy or bad guy, I’m Braun.
471
472
473
It’s a pity that nobody has found an exploding black hole. If they had, I would have won a Nobel prize.
474
Focus comes a lot more easily when you desperately want the results of your own work – nobody else is going to do it for you.
