It’s CNN’s bigger problem that CNN wants to deny reality. I, too, used to drink the Kool-Aid that it was a top journalism operation that reports without bias. Now that I’m outside the walls of traditional media, I know there is no such thing.
5
I read in ‘Life’ magazine that Asians had developed an operation to enlarge eyes, and I yearned to have this done. I wanted to dye my hair brown and to anglicize my name. Self-hate was the most terrible cost of the war years for me.

Leonard Bailey
16

17
They have called Operation Iraqi Freedom a war of choice that isn’t part of the real war on terror. Someone should tell that to al Qaeda.

Raymond Bonner
27

30
You want to have stability in the commercial aspect of your operation.
31
I am totally in favour of reform – but it must be reform that changes the nature of British politics, not simply the makeup or operation of parliament.

33
Given that I often wear shorts with a T-shirt, baseball cap, and backpack most days, a crew-neck shirt gives me the appearance of an undercover cop on the way to a sting operation at a summer camp.
34
It would be normal for anybody running a high-profile, politically controversial operation in China to anticipate worst-case scenario, and to do everything possible to guard against them.
35
When I told my doctor I couldn’t afford an operation, he offered to touch-up my X-rays.
36
Launching a ground war against Iran would require hundreds of thousands of troops for a ‘regime change followed by nation-building‘ operation, as we attempted in Iraq. Iran has a much more modern military, more than double Iraq’s population, and almost four times the landmass.
37
The funny thing is that I almost find it more difficult now to take a still picture than to be behind a moving camera. I’m just so much more inspired and comfortable and confident when I have that whole operation going. I feel more connected. Snapping a moment doesn’t seem relevant to me anymore.
Steven Klein
38
I had a cyst on my tonsils, and I couldn’t sing. I had to have an operation.

Operation Sovereign Borders has been one of Australia‘s greatest national security policy successes.
41
Operation Northern Star with Canada has made significant progress in battling meth from the north, and we are engaged in numerous training opportunities in Mexico to help curb the problem from the south.

Adam Kinzinger
46

47

49
Most super PACs are a money-laundering operation that exists solely to enrich the members or its founders.

As a 22-year Army Veteran who served in Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom, and as a Civilian Advisor to the Afghan Army in Operation Enduring Freedom, I understand both the gravity of giving the order, and the challenge of carrying it out.
52
The Pentagon still has not given a name to the Iraqi war. Somehow ‘Operation Re-elect Bush‘ doesn’t seem to be popular.
53
I’m the worst employee in the world. I’ll cheat and steal time and resources from my employer, although I’ll con everybody into believing I’m essential to the operation.
54
Supplements are popular. They’re good. They’re a fast-growing market. I use it to fund the operation. Other revolutionaries rob banks and kidnap people, O.K.? I don’t do that.
Alex Jones
55
Just because you watchGrey‘s Anatomy‘ doesn’t mean you can do the operation.
56
This is a once in a lifetime event. It is very rare to remove 86% of the currency in circulation in one go. The logistics of such an operation are mammoth.
57
58
Developing a good, healthy culture is extremely important at a startup. Culture reflects the essence of a startup’s operation because it directly affects the success of a company‘s hiring practices and overall strategy.
59
Honesty has always been an integral part of my operation, really.
Russell Brand
60
Rwanda was considered a second-class operation; because it was a small country, we had been able to maintain a kind of status quo. They were negotiating, they’d accepted the new peace project, so we were under the impression that everything would be solved easily.
61
In 1987, Merrill Lynch asked me to open a Swiss capital markets operation. I was 27. In hindsight, I was lucky enough to start a business from scratch. And I mean from zero – no offices, even, just a space with walls between different areas. We decided to tear down the walls.
62
I looked at a fetal development chart at the Operation Rescue Office in Dallas. I had a lot of emotions stirring up inside of me. That’s when I decided that it was wrong in any stage of pregnancy.
Norma McCorvey
63
A pig has a plow on the end of its nose because it does meaningful work with it. It is built to dig and create soil disturbance, something it can’t do in a concentrated feeding environment. The omnivore has historically been a salvage operation for food scraps around the homestead.
64
Yes, Operation Block Ivanka was petty. Melania was in on this mission. But in our minds, Ivanka shouldn’t have made herself the center of attention in her father‘s inauguration.
65
What I want to make clear though is that we oppose terrorism in any form. However, any operation against terrorism should be under the framework of the United Nations and follow the fundamental principles of international laws.
Nong Duc Manh
66
My view is different. Public relations are a key component of any operation in this day of instant communications and rightly inquisitive citizens.
Alvin Adams
67
All of our other albums were consecutive year after year: ‘No More Mr. Nice Guy,’ ‘Step in the Arena,’ ‘Daily Operation,’ ‘Hard to Earn.’ After ‘Hard to Earn,’ a four-year gap is a lot of not having Gang Starr music, as far as an album is concerned.
68
Operation Fast and Furious was flawed in concept and flawed in execution. The tactics used in this operation violate Department of Justice policy and should never have been used.
69
I have a company that is not Microsoft, called Corbis. Corbis is the operation that merged with Bettman Archives. It has nothing to do with Microsoft. It was intentionally done outside of Microsoft because Microsoft isn’t interested.
70
When you have an operation, you are altering the body. You are going into a perfectly fine piece of tissue and when you do so, you can invite all sorts of complications. The intention might be to solve one thing, but it can mess up others.
71
Imagine a doctor in Chicago doing an operation for someone in Taiwan using robotic surgery. You want the doctor to feel immediate feedback to what the robot is experiencing.
72
There is nothing in nature wherein there is not good and evil; everything moveth and liveth in this double impulse, working or operation, be it what it will.
73

74
My doctor is wonderful. Once, in 1955, when I couldn’t afford an operation, he touched up the X-rays.
Joey Bishop
75
Even now with the operation, with the damage done, my ankle probably is never going to be back to 100 per cent.
Casey Stoner
76
Judicial Watch has long called for the shutdown of the Mueller special counsel operation and have pursued dozens of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits in connection with the illicit targeting and other abuses of President Trump.
77
A school culinary education is a militant operation. In that world, everything depends on grading and competition. The emotional element is extracted, leaving raw, regimented skill.
78
I’ve had a hip replacement, I’ve beaten cancer, I had my hand operation, and I stopped drinking. Something inside of me just went, ‘I’m done.’
79
I don’t believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute. The idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country.
80
The weird thing is, ‘Game of Thrones,’ people go to Iceland for three weeks, and it’d be like a small guerilla operation. ‘Thor,’ we went there for, like, five days, because we couldn’t afford to be there any longer, because we were airlifting the entire contents of Hollywood into this country.
81
The United States has the best intelligence-gathering operation in the world. We should provide a greater level of training and assistance to the E.U. to help them develop a more robust counter-terrorism platform.
82
I had worked on dogs for a couple of years developing a renal transplant operation. We had dogs running around with kidneys we had transplanted back into themselves.
83
If you don’t understand how to run an efficient operation, new machinery will just give you new problems of operation and maintenance. The sure way to increase productivity is to better administrate man and machine.
84
In a funny way, the illness spurred me on. I thought to myself, ‘I’ve got to get through this operation to make a blues album.’
85
So I had an operation. So what? If I die, I die. I’m more interested in my music.
86
Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle‘s light.
87
We don’t comment on special forces operations. And if you run an operation for a long time as we have here, and in Libya, eventually newspapers like the Times report it.
88
Unlike the Afghans and Iraqis, the South Korean people solidly supported the American military presence, which was part of a United Nations operation.
John Eisenhower
89
I guarantee you that the people who watch ‘Conan O’Brien’ or who watch ‘Entertainment Tonight‘ and probably a lot of these other programs have never heard of Operation Blessing. Maybe they have heard of UNICEF, and I’m sure they have heard of the Red Cross, but they haven‘t heard of this organization.
90
Harvard is first and foremost a university and not a consulting operation, and our job here is to teach and to research and to create knowledge on Asia in conjunction and in cooperation with scholars as well as with political, intellectual, and cultural leaders in Asia.
William C. Kirby
91
Talk about national interests: When we went in with Operation Iraqi Freedom, some of our allies, Turkey, for example, would not let us through. How much trouble did that cause us, because we were not able to go into Iraq through Turkey?
92
When you’re told to go brief a United States senator on a covert operation, you go do it. And you trust the information isn’t going to leak.
93
I’m on Medicare now. If I go and have a big operation, it costs me nothing. It should cost me a little. I’m not rich, but I can afford a few grand if I have to have my appendix taken out. I can pitch in a little bit.
94
Life is an operation which is done in a forward direction. One lives toward the future, because to live consists inexorably in doing, in each individual life making itself.
95
Fraud is common when you give away billions. Fraud related to Hurricane Katrina spending is estimated to top $2 billion. In addition, debit cards provided to hurricane victims were used to pay for Caribbean vacations, NFL tickets, Dom Perignon champagne, ‘Girls Gone Wildvideos, and at least one sex change operation.
96
Writing, and its theatre of operation, is better than working shifts packing frozen sausages; that’s all I need to think about if I’m having difficulties.
97
You can make a lot of mistakes and still recover if you run an efficient operation. Or you can be brilliant and still go out of business if you’re too inefficient.
98
The military operation in Lebanon was the most successful military operation in recent Israeli history. Many in Israel don’t recognise that.
99
While all doctors treat diseases, neurosurgeons’ work is the crucible of identity. Every operation on the brain is, by necessity, a manipulation of the substance of our selves.
100
You can miss a kick on a good hold and you can still make kicks with bad holds but the more the operation is perfect, the percentages go up and up.
101
ESPN is a very, very good operation, and it’s a gold mine. It’s an even bigger gold mine than Fox News.
102
In the event of war, probably Saudi Arabia will facilitate some certain logistics to make the operation easier for the United States, but actually, the United States does not need Saudi territories to launch a war against Iraq.
103
I think social networking is absolutely here to stay. Now, whether or not the label will Facebook forever, depends in part, I think, on whether Facebook wants to try to be less proprietary, be more central to the operation of defining and stewarding identity online.
104
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our teams at the Emergency Operation Center and Joint Information Center have worked around the clock to ensure a consistent and coordinated strategy among our state agencies in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic.
105
I was the first to advocate the Web. But I am very troubled by this thing that every kid must have a laptop computer. The kids are totally in the computer age. There’s a whole new brain operation that’s being moulded by the computer.
106
Even if it was a difficult operation to copy a song, it only takes one person to do it. After that the spread of the song via the Internet or other means of propagation is only limited by the honesty of the users.
Dan Farmer
107
If what distinguishes us from other species is speech, then poetry, which is the supreme linguistic operation, is our anthropological – indeed, geneticgoal.
108
I’m real. I believe what I’m saying. If Motel 6 wasn’t the type of operation they say it is – and I stay at them when I travel – I wouldn’t do their commercials. That comes through on the radio, and that’s what it’s all about.
109
I grew up in southwest Iowa, on a farm north of Stanton, Iowa, which is a tiny little town, a farming community. I went to Iowa State University and joined Army ROTC while I was there and just have had such a phenomenal life. I am a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
110
One of the reasons I’m on tour is to meet people. I consider it a reconnaissance. You know, I consider myself like in a military operation. I don’t feel like a citizen.
111
As for the single market, the E.U.’s landmark achievement, there is no question that a euro zone breakup would severely disrupt its operation in the short run.
Barry Eichengreen
112
It’s one thing, holding open the door for someone at a grocery store, or the library, or just about anyplace else. But the doughnut shop is a different thing altogether. This is a get-in-and-out-as-fast-as-you-can operation. There’s no room for courtesy or chivalry here.
113
In a military operation, the command and control elements are a legitimate target.
Stephen Hadley
114
The Germans have done wonderful work. Not long ago, a German battle group battalion conducted a very impressive counterinsurgency operation in a portion of Baghlan province. I think these are the first counterinsurgency operations conducted by any German element after World War II. And they did a very impressive job.
115
For Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, 267,300 reserve component service men and women were called to service.
116
Neville and I are big fans of ska. He’s actually more into original, Jamaican, skinhead, two-tone ska from England, but I’m more into punk ska – Operation Ivy and stuff Rancid would do.
117
Opening a business is going to be hard work, no matter what choices you make. If you decide to fall on your sword and just slog through all the work as an operator instead of an owner, then you take responsibility for the entire operation and the actions of the business.
118
Operation Sovereign Borders has worked and delivered a human dividend that is compassionate and fair… our plan is simple. We won’t change it. Labor will.
119
Life is for the living. I was a little scared before surgery ’cause of the release you sign that says there’s always a very small percent chance that you’ll die during the operation.
Billy West
120
I think Operation Smile is in more than 22 countries, mostly Third World. It just happened that my schedule opened up at the time they were heading to Vietnam.
121
There were some medical emergencies at home, be it my wife‘s brain tumour operation, my father’s cancer. Eventually we lost him in 2018.
122
I was going to do medicine at Edinburgh University – when I was three weeks old I nearly died, but they did an operation and I survived. It was a huge thing for my family – I was the first-born – and doctors were heroes, so I wanted to join them.
123
I was a huge Operation Ivy fan.
124
In the 101st Airborne Division headquarters in Mosul, we had a sign on the wall. It was a question that we would ask ourselves before every new operation or policy initiative. It asked: Will this policy or operation take more bad guys off the streets than it creates by its conduct?
125
Early in my career, I served in the Army. I took care of wounded soldiers in Operation Desert Storm, and I saw what weapons of war do to human beings.
126
My mother was very ill when I was 18. She had a brain operation and then a nervous breakdown. It’s very strange when you see your parents, who have always been your pillars of strength, suddenly become vulnerable. You don’t know whether to be angry that they are not strong or devastated.
127
New terms used like, ‘overseas contingency operation’ instead of the word ‘war’ – that reflects a worldview that is out of touch with the enemy that we face. We can’t spin our way out of this threat.
128
No writer of a portion of the Bible was perfect. It was the direct and miraculous operation of the Holy Spirit that what they wrote is without mistake.
129
In the late Fifties and early Sixties, opposition to state terror and aggression and torture and so on was zero. That was a horrible time: the massive Kennedy terror operation against Cuba, the first attacks on Vietnam in 1962, the imposition of national security states in South America.
130
My thesis is that government is not, in fact, broken. It’s just listening to the wrong people, and it’s listening to all of this quiet influence. So it’s a very robust operation that operates kind of under the surface.
131
The relevance for 9/11 is that what 9/11 marked was the beginning of a struggle in which the terrorists come at us and strike us here on our home territory. And it’s a global operation. It doesn’t know national boundaries or national borders.
132
I just don’t like the idea of having an operation to hold up the ageing process.
133
Have you ever seen Glenn Beck in operation? It is the most terrifying thing. It’s so bad that you think he’s going to announce in a minute that it’s all a great con. He makes Sarah Palin look reasonable and steady.
134
To the patient, any operation is momentous.
Joseph Murray
135
The operation left me very emotional. I cry a lot anyway. I’ve always been the type to feel hurt easily, but now I hit rock bottom.
136
I moved to Naples, Florida, and by 15 I was into punk: Green Day, Rancid, NOFX, Operation Ivy. Along with the classic punk bands, like the Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat – all those bands that you get into when you’re first getting into punk.
137
Even now there is no evidence that anyone involved in the Nixon operation was going to threaten us.
138
No one looks at your hands to see how much they shake when you are interviewed to be a surgeon. The physical skills required are no greater than for writing cursive script. If an operation requires so much skill only a few surgeons can do it, you modify the operation to make it simpler.
139
The Bay of Pigs was an operation the United States endorsed. That was a preventive operation. We were afraid that Castro was going to subvert the hemisphere.
140
The health insurance industry does not like to pay out claims, because they don’t make money. The only way they can make a profit is if they don’t pay for your operation. If they pay for your operation and your doctor’s appointment and your pharmaceuticals, they don’t make any money.
141
Peace enforcement is a much more difficult kind of operation than peacekeeping.
142
It’s pretty traumatic knowing that your instrument that’s your career isn’t working, and you’ve got to have an operation.
143
My suggestion is that at each state the proper order of operation of the mind requires an overall grasp of what is generally known, not only in formal logical, mathematical terms, but also intuitively, in images, feelings, poetic usage of language, etc.
144
Not born to be rich, by 1981 I had nonetheless begun to use a PC that required for its operation the absorption of several hundred pages of protocols and the placement of very large floppy disks in the freezer to fix frequent crashes.
145
Every intelligence operation carries risks.
146
Gamergate is a criminal operation to harass women.
147
Some day you will be wheeled in for a heart bypass operation, and a surgeon will be the person who is now behind the counter when you renew your car registration at the department of motor vehicles.
148
The Good Friday/Belfast Agreement was a bilateral one between ourselves and Ireland and did not involve the E.U. at all. It just presupposed common E.U. membership as a facilitator of its successful operation.
149
China more than two milleniums ago had already considered the idea of democracy, but at that time she could not put it into operation.
150
After the investigation of Operation Aurora, the cyberattack on Google from within China that was revealed in 2010, I realized a completely new type of security strategy and technology was needed.
151
I was having these terrible back pains, and then one day in Switzerland, things got very bad. My wife Maryanna called the hotel doctor, but I don’t remember any of this, I was out of it. I had an operation, and I was nearly lost.
152
Nobody can ever make enough money for as many poor relatives as I’ve got. Somebody’s got a sick kid, or somebody needs an operation, somebody ain’t got this, somebody ain’t got that. Or to give the kids all a car when they graduate.
153
Kofi Annan was the U.N. Under-Secretary General for peacekeeping operations. He had the responsibilities in regards to the mounting and operation of peacekeeping missions around the world.
Romeo Dallaire
154
The reason there’s so many gay people now is because it’s a chemical warfare operation, and I have the government documents where they said they’re going to encourage homosexuality with chemicals so that people don’t have children.
Alex Jones
155
Every penny paid to a PFI company is money withdrawn from those waiting for an operation, money removed from the training of clinicians, and money denied for life-saving treatments.
156
I think that ‘Fox & Friends’ audience is going to increase. That franchise in the morning is very important to any television operation because they make money.
157
After my first knee operation, in January of ’65 before I went to the Jets, Dr. James Nicholas told me everything went well and that I could probably play four years in the NFL. The surgery was trailblazing to a certain extent.
158
The Texas Energy Office’s Loan Star Program has reduced building energy consumption and taxpayers‘ energy costs through the efficient operation of public buildings, saving taxpayers more than $172 million through energy efficiency projects.
Rosa DeLauro
159
After my heart operation, I was given tablets, but, I’ll admit, half the time I forget to take them. I carry them around in the car. Little triangular things – I don’t know what they are, to be honest.
160
The broad outlines of the Double Cross deception have been known since 1972, when Sir John Masterman, the former chairman of the double agent committee, controversially published his account of the operation in defiance of official secrecy.
Ben Macintyre
161
Two days prior to the Herrick operation I repaired a double cleft lip, resected a recurrent cancer of the mouth, corrected lop ears in a child, and closed a burn of the buttocks.
162
It had all the earmarks of a CIA operation; the bomb killed everybody in the room except the intended target!
163
Operation Peace for Galilee is not a military operation resulting from the lack of an alternative.
164
We are now after 7 months operation making money here.
Henry Wells
165
When you launch a surgical operation, you must already be well deployed to follow it through with larger forces. That complicates matters: you need to be ready for a full-fledged campaign on the operational level and have the diplomatic backing lined up as well.
166
It was a melting pot in Las Vegas. You got every age level, every ethnic background, every social aura – it was an absolute Americana audience… people who were there to celebrate occasions; people who were there to gamble; people who were there because they were awed by the whole Vegas operation. Tourists.
167
Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature.
168
Let me be clear, Mr. President, mistakes have been made in Iraq. And this operation has been far from perfect as evidenced by the fact that Zarqawi and other terrorists continue to wreak havoc throughout Iraq.
Elizabeth Dole
169
There’s an assumption in many of these cultures that these children are mentally retarded, when in fact they’re not at all. I saw how the operation affects the child, as well as the child’s family and often the village.

Especially in the whip operation, you’re in constant contact with the members and their chiefs of staff, so having a chief who’s approachable and reaches out to other chiefs so people know what’s going – know what they’re looking for in the policy that comes to the House floor – is incredibly important.
171
I think Varga is a manifestation, certainly, and someone who can thrive and profit from the world’s failure and has worked out the operation, whatever the operation may be, that he’s about, which will remain a mystery.
172
One of the cries from the people was, don’t forget us. They have a long road ahead of them. Operation Blessing has found those little fishing towns. They will not be getting what other towns are getting from the government.
173
Two pieces of advice for young composers: Go away during technical rehearsals. And do not have a back operation.
174
If there’s one operation for a disease, you know it works. If there are 15 operations, you know that none of them work.
175
The so-called assault weapons ban is a hoax. It is a political appeal to the ignorant. The guns it supposedly banned have been illegal for 78 years. Did the ban make them ‘more’ illegal? The ban addresses only the appearance of weapons, not their operation.
176
When you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria, you’ve got to be prepared, as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, to become the government, and I’m not sure any country, either the United States or I don’t hear of anyone else, who’s willing to take on that responsibility.
177
I come from an era when if you are told that you need a triple heart bypass it sounds pretty terminal. But I think it’s quite a normal operation these days.
178
Necessity is the most powerful divinity the world knows, and necessity is the resultant of physical forces set in operation by ethical forces.
179
Michael, if he wants an operation on his nose, plastic surgery, hey, he can do it. It’s his right.
Joe Jackson
180
When I do an operation, it’s half a dozen people. When it goes beautifully, it’s like a symphony, with everybody playing their part.
181
There’s a preoccupation with memory and the operation of memory and a rather rapacious interest in history.
182
‘Operation Ajax’ presents history in an entirely new way. It takes a true story and uses cutting-edge technology, never before used in this way, to bring it to spectacular life.
183
I’m the computer operator for Operation Rescue National.
Norma McCorvey
184
Pictures can be devastating. Who allowed John Kerry to get himself photographed windsurfing in a flowered swimsuit? Anyone in the real world in that operation?
185
So as I was growing up, my father was always in the middle of making a film or preparing a film. It was a full-time, all-consuming type of operation.
Barbara Broccoli
186
Everything was going for me, I didn’t even know the meaning of the word insecurity and suddenly I am surrounded by words like operation, cancer, chemotherapy, radiation.
187

190
Environmental activists in the rough Antarctic seas have launched a new tool in the fight to stop a Japanese operation to kill hundreds of whales: remote-controlled drones.
191
After Operation Protective Edge, I visited every one of the bereaved families. Religious and secular, rich and poor, Sephardi and Ashkenazi, Jews and non-Jews.
192
My toes are all squished. During an operation, they had to take nerves out.
193
I went to see Dad in hospital after he had gone through one particularly grueling operation. I walked into the room where he was recovering, and he was sitting up in a chair, wearing his shirt and tie. That was after eight hours of surgery. I found that so moving.
194
I also administer the Internet Assigned Names Authority, which is the central coordinator for the Internet address space, domain names and Internet protocol conventions essential to the use and operation of the Internet.
195
As Mark Weiner puts it, whether you gain 50 pounds or lose 50 pounds, whether you have a sex change operation for that matter, that it doesn’t matter, that there is some part of ourselves that we cannot escape.
196
You are not content with the vast millions of tribute we pay you annually under the operation of our revenue law, our navigation laws, your fishing bounties, and by making your people our manufacturers, our merchants, our shippers.
John H. Reagan
197
One of the commitments that I personally have now is to a diverse approach to buying businesses, and the operation of those businesses.
198
Just because one happens to be wealthy, it doesn’t mean you are naturally any good at building an investment operation that is world-class or successful.
199
Anonymous is like an amoeba: it’s got too many different operations run by truly different people which might not share a single person with another operation, but they use the same branding – they are part of the Anonymous brand, just like al-Qaida.
200
The heroes behind Operation Warp Speed will never receive the credit they deserve under a vindictive Biden administration seeking to destroy Trump’s legacy.
201
The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature, in her manner of operation.
John Cage
202
Before the operation on my left hand I wasn’t able to stretch my fingers open all the way. I’ve never had very big hands, but I could do the splits with them. Eventually I couldn’t any more. I had a twisted tendon in my little finger that prevented me from being able to stretch.
203
To be a designer today is to be an entrepreneur. Whether you’re a two-man operation in Shoreditch or a 3,000-person, vertically integrated brand, you need to have the wherewithal to run your business through investment, considering everything from start-up funds to your exit plan or what it takes to go public.
204
Removal of an organ is difficult and dangerous. There have been several deaths of healthy donors. I think myself, I would be hesitant to participate as a liver donor. It’s a very tricky operation.
205
The most stupid mistake a counter-insurgency operation can make is alienating the population. If you alienate the population, you’re finished.
206
If D-Day – the greatest amphibious operation ever undertaken – failed, there would be no going back to the drawing board for the Allies. Regrouping and attempting another massive invasion of German-occupied France even a few months later in 1944 wasn’t an option.
207
Government has a legitimate sphere of operation. The problem arises when that sphere continually expands, encompassing areas where government lacks legitimacy.
208
I’ve had an operation on my jaw – I don’t have the big jaw anymore – and I’ve also had an operation on my eyes.
209
I’m a businessman. Making records is my business. I have a big operation and I employ a lot of people.
210
Every new development, highway, railroad, steamship line, building operation, whether it be a drainage project in old Greece or a new water system in Peru, means an added use of the automobile.
Walter Chrysler
211
I’ve always been fascinated by the operation of memory – the way in which it is not linear but fragmented, and its ambivalence.
212
We Brits print banknotes out in Debden in Essex, and have contracted it out to the private sector. Here in the U.S. it is a government operation right in the heart of Washington next door to the Holocaust Museum.
213
I fell down in Hyde Park with a friend who’d had a hip operation, and neither of us could get up again. People must have thought we were a couple of drunks rolling around and walked on by.
Ava Gardner
214
When I was 12, I had an operation at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, and they corrected the curving in my spine. I’ve got two 12-inch rods and eight screws going up my back keeping me straight, and they fuse together with my spine, so now I can’t really live without them.
Princess Eugenie of York

We set up a small bitcoin and ethereum mining operation… that miraculously now is actually making a lot of money.
216
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is the largest external operation force within al Qaeda.
217
It was very difficult in 2007. I was out for a long time after an ankle operation in Antwerp, then when I returned, I was not at my best, of course.
218
The more language is a living operation, the less we are aware of it. Thus it follows from the self-forgetfulness of language that its real being consists in what is said in it.
Hans-Georg Gadamer
219
Ulcerative colitis can be cured by the operation, but you cannot cure Crohn’s disease.
Mary Ann Mobley
220
I will never forgive Joe for that awful operation he had performed on Rosemary. It is the only thing I have ever felt bitter toward him about.
221
One of the big changes at the heart of Web 2.0 is the shift from the creation of software artifacts, which is what the PC revolution was about, to the creation of software services. These are services that ultimately, if they are successful, will require competencies of operation, of scale, and the like.
222
I think the media is a fear-mongering operation. They love to rile their viewership up or to scare them.
223
We citizens don’t need to know every detail of every military operation in this new kind of war. Nor should the media tell us and hence our enemy.
David Hackworth
224
I don’t believe that any prime minister would send our troops into conflict without the assurance from the military that they had the equipment necessary for the operation.
225
I’ve asked Jobs why he didn’t get an operation then and he said, ‘I didn’t want my body to be opened. I didn’t want to be violated in that way.’
226
The Internet was appealing partly because it was something I could do in bed and feel like I was achieving something. I had an operation when I was 13 and ended up with complications, so I was in and out of the hospital. The bottom line is you can get through health challenges. It’s part of why I was so driven.
Pete Cashmore
227
I co-own the ranch with my brother, and he and his wife are really the backbone of the operation.
228
The evolutionary theory of senescence can be stated as follows: while bodies are not designed to fail, neither are they designed for extended operation.
229

231
A lot of coordinated approaches are required to make a global operation work.
232
I have travelled and been pretty much a one man operation for most of my career, and I think it’ll continue to be that way.
233
Uh, I just had an operation last March which was rather serious and I’m recuperating now. I’m on a very bland diet. But, uh, I’m lucky, I was just lucky, that’s all.
Rube Goldberg
234
Operation Bluestar was a mischievous blunder, and it should not have been done.
235
It is not good enough for things to be planned – they still have to be done; for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation.
Walt Kelly
236
We need to continue to modernise current humanitarian work while at the same time drive a more systemic shift in how we envision the operation and financing of humanitarian solutions.
237
We are also assisting the refugees who have fled across the border to Chad. As many of them have been subject to attacks by militia crossing from Sudan, UNHCR is mounting a major logistical operation to establish camps and transfer refugees away from the border zone.
Jan Egeland
238
I went in for an operation to remove a brain tumor.
Lou Gramm
239
The change began in Somalia, where we discovered that we were involved in an operation where there was no peace, so there was no more a peacekeeping operation because there was no peace.
240
As I have conveyed before, ultimately I would like to lead a team’s basketball operation and be a part of a successful franchise.
241
In every operation, there’s a risk, and you don’t know whether it’s gonna… you know, obviously there’s that 95% chance, whatever they say, they can never say 100% you’re gonna be better. But the concern and the worry is the worst thing.
242
I had a shoulder problem during my career when I changed my service action and needed an operation.
