I think when people mean that Discworld books have become darker they really mean the series is growing up. In ‘The Colour of Magic’ most of the city is set alight.

I’m a good-hearted person and my biggest goal is to be successful. That’s really the biggest part about me.

44
We think when God speaks to us, there’s going to be a boom out of Heaven or we’re going to get some chill bumps, but I really believe God’s talking to us all the time. He’s talking to us right in here. I call it our heart, our conscience, but it’s the Holy Spirit talking to us.
45
46
I am really surprised bitcoin isn’t more popular in India, given the strong gold culture here. I call it Gold 2.0. It has all the attributes other than the fact that it isn’t tangible, and tangibility is less important in the digital age.
47
Information helps you to see that you’re not alone. That there’s somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who all have wept, who’ve all longed and lost, who’ve all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you’re not really any different from everyone else.

53
I do know there are a lot of people who seem to be in my corner, and that’s, of course, wonderful. I’m really more interested in the nomination than in the award, because I think the nomination just puts you within a group of outstanding actors.
54
55
I want people to really recognize that this is what I am naturally good at: I’m really good at making music and describing your feelings vicariously through my experiences, through my past and my future. I want people to relate to me in multiple ways and be versatile in my music.

For every successful actor or actress, there are countless numbers who don’t make it. The name of the game is rejection.

Secularism is categorically not saying that the religious may not speak out publicly or have a say in public life. It is about saying that religion alone should not confer a privileged say in public life, or greater influence on it. It really is as simple as that.

We live in this era that has benefited from the Industrial Revolution, and we live with a kind of luxury and plenty that even all but the poorest of Americans live with a kind of sensuousness that was unimagined by medieval kings.

92
An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it.

95
Most of the people in the world are poor, so if we knew the economics of being poor, we would know much of the economics that really matters.

96
You may have heard the world is made up of atoms and molecules, but it’s really made up of stories. When you sit with an individual that’s been here, you can give quantitative data a qualitative overlay.

The American Dream is a term that is often used but also often misunderstood. It isn’t really about becoming rich or famous. It is about things much simpler and more fundamental than that.

99
100
I feel like I’m a New Yorker because I really know the city. I actually tell the drivers where to go – I have this bad habit, I always question the drivers.

101
102
103
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something.

113
People don’t care about what someone says about you in a movie – or even what you say, right? They care about what you build. And if you can make something that makes people’s life better, then that’s something that’s really good.
114
I think the secret is really observation. Well, if you observe what’s going on and try to figure out how people are thinking, I think you can always write something that people will understand.
115
116
117

I’ll never, ever be full. I’ll always be hungry. Obviously, I’m not talking about food. Growing up, I had nothing for such a long time. Someone told me a long time ago, and I’ve never forgotten it, ‘Once you’ve ever been hungry, really, really hungry, then you’ll never, ever be full.’
127
128
There are times when I get really depressed, when I’m going through difficult times and when I want someone to hold my hand. Sometimes I’ll think, ‘Forget it. I want to be this way.’ I often feel that way. But when we started the Love Yourself World Tour, I stopped having those thoughts.
129
130
Now, I don’t sweat the small stuff, just the things that really matter.
131
132
133

134
135
136
137
138
I was born into a Christian family and brought up in a Lutheran church. My faith has been the center point of my life, really, since I was a child, but at 16 years of age, I fully surrendered my life over to Christ. At that point, as a teenager, I began to grasp the concept of Christ’s true love and forgiveness.
139
140
The thing is, we live in a contemporary world, and being able to make yourself the best person you can possible be can be difficult. But as long as you’re trying to figure it out, and you’re really looking in the right direction, everything’s going to be all right.
141
142
143
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
144
145
146

152
You don’t know what people are really like until they’re under a lot of stress.
153
154
A lot of our creative flow comes from a place of curiosity and exploration. It often feels like we’re excavating and asking questions and not just giving answers but really just exploring.
155
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
156

160
161
162
Melody is king, and don’t you ever forget it. Lyrics appear to be out front, but they’re not; they’re just an accompanying factor. If they’re good, you’re really in good shape. Lyrics are written to be rewritten.
163
I learned patience, perseverance, and dedication. Now I really know myself, and I know my voice. It’s a voice of pain and victory.
164
165
166
167
168
One thing I’ve learned about life is that if you really let go, it’s just a joy ride.
169
170
Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.
171
There’s really no secret to success. You make your own success.
172
You will learn more from your failures than your successes – so embrace those mistakes, as difficult as that sounds, and grow from them. When a project is successful, you’re never really sure why, because so many elements come into play. However, when you fail, you always know why. That is how you learn and grow.
173
I’m just going to say I’m not gay. I really, really like women. That’s all I can really say about that.
174
In my life I’ve gone through a lot of really hard times. I went through depression and had so many challenges that I overcame. And I overcame because I just decided to be happy.
175
176
177
I grew up in a time when women didn’t really do comedy. You had to be homely, overweight, an old maid, all that. You had to play a stereotype, because very attractive women were not supposed to be funny – because it’s powerful; it’s a threat.
178
179
180
Reality really is theater. There’s no other way to describe it. It’s all so nonsensical, ridiculous and chaotic.
181
Surround yourself with smart, dedicated people – to build something isn’t a one-man show. It’s more important to have smart people who really believe in what you’re doing than really experienced people who may not share your dream.
182
So long as you’ve got your friends about you, and a good positive attitude, you don’t really have to care what everyone else thinks.
183
184
Maori get pigeonholed into the idea they’re spiritual and telling stories like ‘Whale Rider‘ and ‘Once Were Warriors,’ quite serious stuff, but we’re pretty funny people, and we never really have had an opportunity to show that side of ourselves, the clumsy, nerdy side of ourselves, which is something I am.
185
186
Be content to seem what you really are.
187
For me, I know that people always expect me to be perfect, so when I’m not perfect, it’s really frustrating. I’m really hard on myself and want things to work out right away.
188
Grit, in a word, is stamina. But it’s not just stamina in your effort. It’s also stamina in your direction, stamina in your interests. If you are working on different things but all of them very hard, you’re not really going to get anywhere. You’ll never become an expert.
189
190
At the end of the day, I just do my job. I love my art. But I genuinely want to change the world. I’m very generous, and I really want people to see that I am – that’s really it.

Material possessions, winning scores, and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord, because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.
194
I’m just really a free spirit. You gotta be like that. ‘Cause life ain’t that complicated. It’s only that complicated when you make it that way. I just wanna wake up and move with the way it goes. If it’s meant to happen, it will happen.
195
Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.
196
I can’t really cook, but the first dish I ever made was for my girlfriend, Eleanor. I made chicken breast wrapped in ham, homemade mashed potatoes, and gravy.
197
Control is not real, and I’m really understanding that every day. It’s about the acceptance of relinquishing control that makes it powerful for you.
198
I’m a really, really optimistic and really, really positive person. My main thing is, ‘Enjoy life. Celebrate life.’
199
200
201

202
Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive – the risk to be alive and express what we really are.
203
204
205
If you’re climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at a time. Don’t look too far up, set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don’t think you’re progressing until you step back and see how high you’ve really gone.
206
207
If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.
208
As a teacher I realize that what one learns in school doesn’t serve for very much at all, that the only thing one can really learn is self-understanding, and this is something that can’t be taught.
209
210

215
216
Space music’d be really something… but they don’t have no gravity up there. You couldn’t have no downbeat!
217
218
219
220
221
222
The way you dress is really the way you feel, the way you live, what you read, your choices. That’s what I want to put into Gucci.
223
224
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.
225
I think there’s something really powerful about being yourself.
226
227
I savor life. When you have anything that threatens life… it prods you into stepping back and really appreciating the value of life and taking from it what you can.
228
229
230
The magician and the politician have much in common: they both have to draw our attention away from what they are really doing.
231
Zayn’s good to just sit down and chat to about pretty much anything. At the end of the night, we just sit around and talk about our life before One Direction, or anything at all, really.
232
233
234
Really, life is full of contradictions. Life is messy.
235

239
I really want to be a villain.
240
241
The more work you put in, and the more you constantly and consistently give good performances against good opponents and constantly exceed people’s expectations, the more you really endear yourself to the crowd. That’s how your career takes off – it’s just consistency and time.
242
243
244
It’s really important for children to have good morals and good manners, and that they’re thoughtful of other people and that they learn the consequences of their actions.
245
No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.
246
For myself, personally, I am never really aware of timing or anything because I am passionate about what I do, so I have found that if you really love what you do, then time flies.
247
With rock music, the amount of power that you can generate, the intensity behind the intentions of your lyrics that you can really reflect through rock music – you can’t do that in jazz. You can’t do that with classical.
248
It’s New York City, you want to be shown in Times Square. you want your picture there. You want those kind of things. To inspire people, that’s really what it’s about.
249
It was wrong to capture wild animals and confine them in captivity for people to go and gawk at them. And that’s basically how zoos got started. But once you do that, and once you have animals that have been bred in captivity, you’re really stuck with them in some sense. You can’t return them to the wild.
250
Social media is an amazing tool, but it’s really the face-to-face interaction that makes a long-term impact.

254

255
256
Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy, all day. Wearing a backpack and a turtleneck is like a weak midget trying to bring you down.
257
258
Life is full of tough decisions, and nothing makes them easy. But the worst ones are really your personal koans, and tormenting ambivalence is just the sense of satori rising. Try, trust, try, and trust again, and eventually you’ll feel your mind change its focus to a new level of understanding.
259
When I started out, everyone seemed to be adopting these names… Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious. I wasn’t really Rotten or Vicious or Nasty, so I wanted something a bit more funny – yet something that seemed real rock ‘n’ roll… something that acknowledged my ambition.
260
Reggae music don’t really focus on one thing, you know. If reggae music is speaking about the struggle of people, and the suffering, it don’t mean black people. It mean people in general.
261
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
262
I’m the kind of person who doesn’t really focus on more negativity. I’m a positive person, and I look at things in a positive way.
263
At the end of the day, the position is just a position, a title is just a title, and those things come and go. It’s really your essence and your values that are important.
264
All girls like guys who are tough. Obviously, riding a motorcycle – I don’t want to say that there’s a bad boy quality – but there’s definitely a tough and macho thing about a guy who rides a motorcycles and that element of danger. That’s really sexy.
265
Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven’t time, and to see takes time – like to have a friend takes time.
266
There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.
267
Tradition is the great misleader because it’s too easy to follow what has already been done – even though you may think you’re giving it a kick. I was really trying to invent, instead of merely expressing myself.
268
I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn’t lived long enough to experience. That’s why I also believe in reincarnation, that we were put here with ideas to pass around.
269
Love is really the only thing we can possess, keep with us, and take with us.
270
271
I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn’t.
272
273
274
275
276
277
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
278
279
The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things – but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.
280
281
282
283
I think Bitcoin really feels empowering in a sense.
284

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
287
Everyone makes mistakes; it’s about the way you respond to it that’s really important.
288
289
290
I don’t know if I believe in love at first sight, but of course I believe in two people having chemistry right away. A girl should be really easy to talk to. When I lose track of time because we’ve been talking, I think that’s really fun.
291
I really believe that I’m gonna blow up. It’s how I feel.
292
293

294
295

296
Do something because you really want to do it. If you’re doing it just for the goal and don’t enjoy the path, then I think you’re cheating yourself.

I don’t have too many friends. I have only a few people who I really love.
298
When you’re a liar, a person of low moral fortitude, really any explanation you need to be true can be true. Especially if you’re smart enough. You can figure out a way to justify anything.
299
300
The internet to me is kind of like a black hole, and I never really go on it.
301
Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times. And a very small number really.

303
You always admire what you really don’t understand.

305
306
I have no regrets. I don’t believe in looking back. What I am proudest of? Working really hard… and achieving as much as I could.
307

308
As a person, he was wonderful. He really was a great person. He was full of life. He had a great sense of humor. Very talented, of course, but very caring to his parents. There was a very endearing quality about Elvis.
309
As long as you feel good in something, it doesn’t matter what other people think. You just have to own it. You’ll never regret wearing something you really love.
310
Live and work but do not forget to play, to have fun in life and really enjoy it.

312
When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power.
313
314
I get half a million just to show up at parties. My life is, like, really, really fun.
315
You can always enhance your natural beauty; you learn what works for your face because crazy make-up doesn’t really suit anyone.
316
317
Really, running an underdog, insurgent political campaign against an opponent many folks think can’t be beat, and going out and meeting folks and talking about your ideas for America and Washington, is a lot of fun and a real privilege.
318
I try to keep in mind that it’s a long journey. It’s not a race. It’s about staying focused, continuing to do good work, make my family and community proud; that’s all I really want to do… and pay my bills.
319
320
The best part about being alone is that you really don’t have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.
321
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.
322
When I really love someone, I can only show it by making aggressive and bad-taste remarks.
323
I think it all comes down to motivation. If you really want to do something, you will work hard for it.
324
325
The game of basketball brings people together. It really doesn’t matter where you are coming from. It’s a game all of us love.
326
You can only hate someone whom you have the capacity to love, because if you are really indifferent, you cannot even get up the enough energy to hate him.
327
Life is a collage of events, really.
328
329
If you call ‘religious’ a man who believes in what I call a Supermeaning, a meaning so comprehensive that you can no longer grasp it, get hold of it in rational intellectual terminology, then one should feel free to call me religious, really.
330
Whenever I’m stressed out or having a bad day, the one thing that gets me happy or back into like a good place of mind is being on the golf course. I love being out there, especially really early in the morning getting the first tee time out and just playing by myself. It’s so peaceful.
331
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
332
Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen – that stillness becomes a radiance.
333
It’s very interesting, the joke comes first and then the wording comes within five seconds, maybe ten seconds. My thing is to get the joke across in as few words as possible. However, sometimes a word that’s not really needed does help the rhythm of it. It’s a gut feeling.
334
It’s such a funny thing when you see your daughter transitioning from your baby, your little girl, to suddenly being a young woman. If you’re not really looking for it, you can miss it, and Lily–Rose is on that road already, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.
335
Remember that you don’t choose love; love chooses you. All you really can do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing then reach out and give it away.
336
A great figure or physique is nice, but it’s self-confidence that makes someone really sexy.
337
Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering – because you can’t take it in all at once.
338
As a DJ, people expect a certain sound and a certain danceability for the music. As a producer, I really like to let go of any rules that may exist.
339
340
341
I was angry and frustrated until I started my own family and my first child was born. Until then I didn’t really appreciate life the way I should have, but fortunately I woke up.
342
If you are not living this moment, you are not really living.
343
Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
344
A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.
345
If you’re not really having a good time, it’s not worth it.
346
It’s either love or hate with me. People really can hate me.
347
To some degree Satanism is purely a kind of disease of Christianity. You’ve got to really be Christian to believe in Satan.
348
Life is really not easy, we all have our personal battles, but it is important that you really treasure yourself, love yourself and have a sense of self-worth.
349
People can try to reinvent themselves. I don’t think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you’ve done up to now.
350
If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it.
351
352
Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment.
353
The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.
354
I really love to ride my motorcycle. When I want to just get away and be by myself and clear my head, that’s what I do.
355
356
357
What is a moderate interpretation of the text? Halfway between what it really means and what you’d like it to mean?
358
When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, ‘Oh yes – I already have everything that I really need.’
359
I suffer from low self-esteem. I had horrible self-esteem growing up. You really have to save yourself because the critic within you will eat you up. It’s not the outside world – it’s your interior life, that critic within you, that you have to silence.
360
361
I grew up never seeing myself on-screen, and it’s really important to me to give people who look like me a chance to see themselves. I want to see myself as the hero of any story. I want to see myself save the world from the bomb.
362
363
364
If we can’t begin to agree on fundamentals, such as the elimination of the most abusive forms of child labor, then we really are not ready to march forward into the future.
365
366
I’m obsessed with the power of music and image together. There’s also something about music videos that are incredibly glamorous – there’s a fetishistic aesthetic to them that you don’t really see in movies in the same way.
367
History never really says goodbye. History says, ‘See you later.’
368
To be or not to be. That’s not really a question.
369
370
Life is a matter of really tough choices.
371
Everything is very black and white for me. I don’t really like playing mind games.
372
373
I have said this many times, that there seems to be enough room in the world for mediocre men, but not for mediocre women, and we really have to work very, very hard.
374
375
If you are really thankful, what do you do? You share.
376
377
378
379
In the courtroom, it’s where a lawyer really becomes an actor. There’s a very fine line between delivering a monologue in a play and delivering a monologue to a jury. I’ve always felt that way – I’ve been in a lot of courtrooms. The best lawyers are really theatrical.
380
That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. So to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something.
381
You really don’t find too many good people. You really don’t. Keep them around.
382
Surround yourself with really good people. I think that’s an important thing. Because the people you surround yourself are a reflection of you.
383
Live to learn, and you will really learn to live.
384
When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it’s like giving them emotional oxygen.
385
386
Create a ladder of values and priorities in your life, reminding yourself of what really matters to you.
387
388
I believe in giving more than 100% on the field, and I don’t really worry about the result if there’s great commitment on the field. That’s victory for me.
389
I just change with the times. I really don’t have a say in what’s going on. Music was here before me.
390
391
To not have any hope is where things start to get really bleak. Things are possible. The impossible can be possible.
392
The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful and being generous. Everything else is crap. I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t buy it. Be smart. Be thoughtful and be generous.
393
Particularly Instagram, people look like they have a much better life than they really do. People basically seem like they are way better-looking than they really are, and they are way happier-seeming than they really are.
394
395
396
Beauty is only skin deep. I think what’s really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.
397
398
Look. Art knows no prejudice, art knows no boundaries, art doesn’t really have judgement in it’s purest form. So just go, just go.
399
400
When liberty is mentioned, we must always be careful to observe whether it is not really the assertion of private interests which is thereby designated.
401
It sounds like a cliche but I also learnt that you’re not going to fall for the right person until you really love yourself and feel good about how you are.
402
403
You can’t make someone learn something – you really can’t teach someone something – they have to want to learn it. And if they want to learn, they will.
404
You really don’t have to be rich to be sosy. It’s just really a mentality and how you want to carry yourself. You enjoy life.
405
I did a lot of things that I regretted and I certainly paid for my mistakes. You have to go and ask for forgiveness and it wasn’t until I really started doing good and doing right, by other people as well as myself, that I really started to feel that guilt go away. So I don’t have a problem going to sleep at night.
406
407
You hear about quality time a lot but I really think that quantity time with a person is really what strengthens a relationship. That’s when you really get to know somebody. You get to know their strengths and their weaknesses and that brings you closer. That’s what ‘Time Is Love’ is all about.
408
409
410
I’m grateful to intelligent people. That doesn’t mean educated. That doesn’t mean intellectual. I mean really intelligent. What black old people used to call ‘mother wit‘ means intelligence that you had in your mother’s womb. That’s what you rely on. You know what’s right to do.
411
412
Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that artificial intelligence is almost a humanities discipline. It’s really an attempt to understand human intelligence and human cognition.
413
You never know what life is going to throw at you, really, do you?
414
415
I never think of yesterday. Can’t do anything about it. I’m a positive guy. When you really deep down look at it, we go to bed every night, get up every morning, stay here for 70 or 80 years, and then we die.
416
417
I’m not a big fan of religion for that reason. But I am a true believer in God, and I have great faith, and I think that a spiritual connection with something is a really important part of our experience. That doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the church.
418
My mother is black, from Grenada, so my blackness was always there, but It wasn’t until I started hanging with the upperclassmen black actors at my high school that I really got my roots in being a black American, which is a distinctly different identity and experience.
419
420
I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one’s life pleasant, but, basically, if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you, life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important.
421
I started ‘Outer Banks,’ because there’s so much hype around it. I saw one episode and I didn’t really continue, but I got to keep going at it. Two of the actors on there were also in ‘Stranger Things,’ and all my friends always ask, ‘Oh my God, you know Madelyn Cline. She was in ‘Stranger Things’ too.’
422
I was a shy kid but also very mischievous. Because I looked super innocent, no one could really call me out on my pranks.
423
Originality is really important.
424
We collectively, to get things done, work together as a team. Because the work really happens horizontally in our company, not vertically. Products are horizontal. It takes hardware plus software plus services to make a killer product.
425
Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.
426
Really I don’t like human nature unless all candied over with art.
427
I was never really good at anything except for the ability to learn.
428
Once upon a time, I was really lost. I was 18 going on 19, and I was shy. All I want to do is get money, and the way I was thinking I was going to do that was a negative route.
429
I had a really hard time in Orange County. I was a nerd. I was watching foreign cinema when I was 13 and talking about how ‘Hope and Glory’ should be a foreign film.
430
If your concentration is getting bad, take up bass fishing. It will really improve your ability to focus. If you aren’t ready when that fish hits, you can’t set the hook.
431
432
I always wanted to be a femme fatale. Even when I was a young girl, I never really wanted to be a girl. I wanted to be a woman.
433
You’ve got to be in a bad relationship to really understand what a great one is.
434
You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.
435
Kindness is really important to me in finding my own prince – so are patience and a sense of humor. Without those qualities he’s no Prince Charming!
436
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
437
I don’t really have a choice. I’m getting older.
438
The biggest and the most important thing my mother told me is to be a good actor you first need to be a really good human being and an honest person.
439
The main advantage of blockchain technology is supposed to be that it’s more secure, but new technologies are generally hard for people to trust, and this paradox can’t really be avoided.
440
Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand.
441
I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.
442
On a motorcycle, you can’t really think about more than where you are. There’s a freedom that comes with that – from stress, worry, sweating the small stuff.
443
444
445
It’s an absolute honor to be taking part in the pageant for the Diamond Jubilee. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will be a moment in history that will always be remembered. I’m really looking forward to being out on the river with friends and family. To mark this historic moment will be extremely special.
446
Natural beauty really entices men. They will tell you this time and time again, and studies consistently prove it.
447
448
449
450
People overcoming the odds is actually a really important part of humanity, and I don’t think we kind of get to celebrate that as much as we should.
451
Every time I start to get worked up over something, I just think to myself, ‘Is this really going to matter in my life tomorrow, in an hour, in a year?’ You just can’t get stressed about the little things ’cause it’s just not worth it at the end of the day.
452
I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
453
454
Basically I wake up in the morning and I think everything’s going to be great. I’m really kind of optimistic, and I look forward to a new day. I pick up ‘The New York Times,’ and I look at the front page and realize that once again I’m wrong. I start to fixate on stuff.
455
You have to rely on your preparation. You got to really be passionate and try to prepare more than anyone else, and put yourself in a position to succeed, and when the moment comes you got to enjoy, relax, breathe and rely on your preparation so that you can perform and not be anxious or filled with doubt.
456
We go to the theater to be entertained, but if what is left after you watch the movie is a sort of eye-opening perspective on some social issues, then it can be a really powerful piece of art.
457
I’m an outdoorsy person. I really enjoy the hiking in L.A.
458
459
460
If you don’t have integrity, you have nothing. You can’t buy it. You can have all the money in the world, but if you are not a moral and ethical person, you really have nothing.
461
462
I do not have a problem, I enjoy gambling, but I think people are trying to make it seem like I have a problem, because people really don’t know.
463
Man, I really like Vegas.
464
What really raises one’s indignation against suffering is not suffering intrinsically, but the senselessness of suffering.
465
466
467
468
469
I’m really interested in smells. I think I’d like to own a perfumery someday.
470
I think the biggest misconception about me is people really don’t know who I really am. They see the party side of me, they see the crazy side of me. But I also have a laid-back side. You know, I’m chill, down to earth. If you want to grab a cup of coffee and just talk about life, I can do that.
471
472
There comes a point in your life when you realize how quickly time goes by, and how quickly it has gone. Then it really speeds up exponentially. With that, I think you start to put a lot of things into context; you start to see how huge the world is, and really, the universe.
473
When I met people they said, ‘You do look like a hobo, but you smell really good.’
474
Cooking is all about people. Food is maybe the only universal thing that really has the power to bring everyone together. No matter what culture, everywhere around the world, people get together to eat.
475
It was my 16th birthday – my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do – write songs and sing them to people.
476
Most people can bear adversity; but if you wish to know what a man really is give him power.
477
The past is never the past. It is always present. And you better reckon with it in your life and in your daily experience, or it will get you. It will get you really bad.
478
Friendship… is not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.
479
I can’t really describe my sound.
480
I’m not really conservative. I’m conservative on certain things. I believe in less government. I believe in fiscal responsibility and all those things that maybe Republicans used to believe in but don’t any more.
481
You have to see and smell and feel the circumstances of people to really understand them.
482
483
Basically, when you get to my age, you’ll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.
484
I’d much rather hang out in a cafe. That’s where things are really happening.
485
I don’t really be putting no limitations or projections on myself. I just go do it.
486
487
488
While we walking, while we breathing, we dying… I be really feeling like, even though we live to die, some people be dying to live.
489
I’m really quite simple. I plant flowers and watch them grow… I stay at home and watch the river flow.
490
Nobody knows what really a beautiful person is, so don’t worry. If you have pimples today, it’s nothing. If you have a bad hair day, it’s nothing. Feel beautiful. Feel sexy, and it will shine. It will show outside.
491
Life is a series of punches. It presents a lot of challenges. It presents a lot of hardship, but the people that are able to take those punches and able to move forward are the ones that really do have a lot of success and have a lot of joy in their life and have a lot of stories to tell, too.
492
I fear that the day I die, I am going to die without accomplishing what I have in my mind. Life is too short, and a lot of things can happen, and I am really keen to see it with my own eyes – and that is why I am in a hurry.
493
When one’s expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have.
494
If it’s a good song, it doesn’t really matter if it’s trendy or not. It will hit.
495
I haven’t been baptised. My dad’s not in the church and is not a religious person. My mum is more spiritual – she does Thai-chi and goes to Stonehenge and things like that. I’m proud to be pagan. Finland is not really a religious country. I’m still looking for my god.
496
Instead of a national curriculum for education, what is really needed is an individual curriculum for every child.
497
People don’t really believe in words. Or rather, people believe in words only for a stretch of time. Then they start to look for action.
498
What really matters is what’s on the inside.
499
Bragging about yourself violates norms of modesty and politeness – and if you were really competent, your work would speak for itself.
500
501
You get this overview effect where you realize how small we are and how fragile our planet is and how we’re really all in it together. You don’t see borders from space, you don’t see diversity and differences in people on Earth.
502
You know, true love really matters, friends really matter, family really matters. Being responsible and disciplined and healthy really matters.
503
I think you need to go through some stuff to really appreciate life and understand what it means to persevere, overcome and have faith. I think those tough times make you a stronger person.
504
As I’m getting older, I’m really learning unconditional love and loyalty are extremely important.
505
506
What women really want is opportunity and the freedom to love and accept all aspects of womanhood – the intellectual, spiritual, professional, biological and relational dimensions of who we are.
507
508
509
510
Something like bitcoin is really important because it is not correlated to the rest of the market.
511
Women are capable of doing so many things these days, physically, emotionally, within relationships and career. There are so many things that women have evolved into and I feel really proud about where women are right now.
512
Considering how dangerous everything is, nothing is really very frightening.
513
Food is a lot of people’s therapy – when we say comfort food, we really mean that. It’s releasing dopamine and serotonin in your brain that makes you feel good.
514
Really, every day is the perfect day to boss up. Every day that you wake up is a perfect day to boss up. It’s all about continuing to put one foot in front of the next. That’s what it’s about. Whatever you think you’re going through, just put one foot in front of the next.
515
I would encourage you to set really high goals. Set goals that, when you set them, you think they’re impossible. But then every day you can work towards them, and anything is possible, so keep working hard and follow your dreams.
516
517
I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability, or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life.
518
Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation.
519
I don’t in any way disparage any time I’ve had in the trenches because it really has made me the artist I am today.
520
Someone once told me… ‘Anh believe in your dreams!’ I always have and always will, and I think that if you follow your dreams in life, you really can live an amazing life.
521
I always say: ‘Share your happiness with the world, give other people that happiness and let it come back,’ but some things make me question it. I don’t know if I want some people to know that I am happy. I think a lot of people want to take it away from you, and that’s really scary.
522
Having children really changes your priorities.
523
524
A hero is somebody who is selfless, who is generous in spirit, who just tries to give back as much as possible and help people. A hero to me is someone who saves people and who really deeply cares.
525
526
It’s really hard coming of age in today’s society, where society wants you to make the decision of what you want to do with your life by the time you’re 16 years old. Most kids don’t know what they want to do. How could they? They haven’t lived in the real world yet.
527
528
529
But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.
530
If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
531
532
Most people don’t care if you’re telling them the truth or if you’re telling them a lie, as long as they’re entertained by it. You find that out really fast.
533
I’m not a good dancer, but I try. I don’t really have the moves.
534
I go to church every Sunday, which is like going to the gas station once a week and really, really filling up.
535
536
537
In order to get what you want, you must first decide what you want. Most people really foul up at this crucial first step because they simply can’t see how it’s possible to get what they want, so they don’t even let themselves want it.
538
I would love to date a chef. I’d probably get really fat, but I don’t care.
539
Someone who just has a really good heart – it’s so attractive: someone who makes you feel beautiful and encourages you – makes you better.
540
We don’t really have any big family traditions; just spending time with each other is the most important part.
541
Understand that everybody has their own struggles, regardless of whether you can see it or not. Just surround yourself with the people who love you, and know you’re not really alone.
542
Liberals seem to assume that, if you don’t believe in their particular political solutions, then you don’t really care about the people that they claim to want to help.
543
544
The risk for me would be in not taking one – that’s the only thing that’s really risky for me.
545
I don’t care if someone wants to say something derogatory or spiteful anymore. As I’ve grown older I’ve become wiser to the fact that vindictive people take pride in trying to make other people feel bad. I enjoy my life. If someone doesn’t like what I do, that’s up to them, I really don’t care.
546
No one really has a bad life. Not even a bad day. Just bad moments.
547
548
Courage is managing fear to accomplish what you want to accomplish. And it’s a great demonstration of love. It’s really what love is. It’s finding areas in which other people are more important than you.
549
550
You can have anything you want, but not everything. If it was really important to spend an afternoon at my daughter’s school, I had to think, how was I going to organize my life to do that? How could I become more efficient? I always tried to put my priorities on the table, personal and professional, and work around them.
551
I’m an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals.
552
It’s definitely a privilege to be able to do what you love to do; it’s not something that everyone gets to do, so I feel really good about that.
553
I hope that I’m always struggling, really. You develop when you’re struggling. When you’re struggling, you get stronger.
554
I guess I’m just quite observant and I pay attention to a lot of things. Human behavior really fascinates me.
555
To create a new standard, it takes something that’s not just a little bit different; it takes something that’s really new and really captures people’s imagination, and the Macintosh, of all the machines I’ve ever seen, is the only one that meets that standard.
556
557
558
559
560
Everything seems really simple on paper until you take a camera out of the box.
561
You have to really use your imagination to refresh your daily life.
562
563
564
I am blessed to have a family like mine. If you have a good family then nothing else really matters.
565
I’m not really religious but very spiritual. I give money to this company that manufactures hearing aids on a regular basis. More people should really hear me sing. I have a gift from God.
