108
Let me tell you something – being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.

126
127

131
132

They say stay in the lines, but there’s always something better on the other side.

I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.
164
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.

The past is our definition. We may strive with good reason to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it. But we will escape it only by adding something better to it.

180
181
Better to fight for something than live for nothing.
182
People are always selling the idea that people with mental illness are suffering. I think madness can be an escape. If things are not so good, you maybe want to imagine something better.

186

189

192
193
194

196
197
198

209

210
211
212
A visual always brings a first impression. But if there’s going to be a first impression, I might as well use it to control the story. So why not do something like throw a mask on?
213
214
215

I’ve learned enough times in life that saying something is completely different than acting upon it.
221
To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.
222
223
Dying is only one thing to be sad over… Living unhappily is something else.
224

225
226
227

235
I don’t set out to win awards. I don’t think any musician does, but when you receive an award, it’s an affirmation: it means that people appreciate what you do. Every award I have received is a confirmation of something I have done, and that motivates me to push a little harder.
236
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.
237
238

241
You don’t have to compose a masterpiece every time, but I think the challenge of art is always searching for something different, searching for a new sensitivity, a new perspective, a new vision.
242
I’ve never seen anywhere in the world as beautiful as Kashmir. It has something to do with the fact that the valley is very small and the mountains are very big, so you have this miniature countryside surrounded by the Himalayas, and it’s just spectacular. And it’s true, the people are very beautiful too.
243
244
245
The world always seems brighter when you’ve just made something that wasn’t there before.
246

279
280
281
Anytime someone tells me that I can’t do something, I want to do it more.
282
283
What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don’t like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don’t expect freedom to survive very long.
284
Sometimes the most beautiful thing is precisely the one that comes unexpectedly and unearned, hence something given truly as a present.
285
286
There’s something to be said in favor of working in isolation in the real world.
287
Democracy’s a very fragile thing. You have to take care of democracy. As soon as you stop being responsible to it and allow it to turn into scare tactics, it’s no longer democracy, is it? It’s something else. It may be an inch away from totalitarianism.
288
289
290
I’m not really into style. I’m more into confidence or having something to say.

295
296
Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.

Yankees don’t understand that the Southern way of talking is a language of nuance. What we can do in the South is we can take a word and change it just a little bit and make it mean something altogether different.
298
299
300
301
302
303
When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.
304
305
Our whole role in life is to give you something you didn’t know you wanted. And then once you get it, you can’t imagine your life without it. And you can count on Apple doing that.

319
You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself.
320
321
Playing with light is something that is very important, especially when you want cinematography in your game.

324

325
326
327

328

Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional‘ does not make it so.

335
336

I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.
338
339

340
341
342
If I don’t feel confident about my body, I’m not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not do something about it. It’s all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it’s fitness or whatever. It’s about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

349
When you start out in a team, you have to get the teamwork going and then you get something back.
350
351
Make yourself look really stupid so you don’t feel bad doing something a little stupid.
352
If I say something, I mean it. If I promise something, best as I can, I’m going to follow through. If I say I have your back, I genuinely mean it.
353
My message is that it’s never too late. If it’s something you want to do or if it’s important to you, go for it.
354
We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
355
356
It requires bravery to do something no one else around you is doing.
357
Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.
358
I like the idea of the documentary as a portrait. There’s not a chronological beginning, middle, and end structure. You build something in the editing room that’s shaped by getting to know the person and digging deeper, unpeeling the layers of them as you get to know them.
359
360
When I was in high school, there was ‘Superbad’ and ‘The Girl Next Door‘ and ‘Wedding Crashers’ and all these great movies. You hope to be a part of something that’s smart, funny and in that Todd Phillips-vein. You want to make something like ‘Superbad.’ That movie was so good and so funny.
361
What makes something special is not just what you have to gain, but what you feel there is to lose.
362
363
364
365
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.
366
367
Something must be done to save humanity! A better world is possible!
368
As the ego cogito, subjectivity is the consciousness that represents something, relates this representation back to itself, and so gathers with itself.
369
370
371
372
My advice for young people is to just be yourself. There’s no pressure. Do what you want to do. And if you want to do something, then go after it and make it happen.
373
When I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something.
374
You should set goals beyond your reach so you always have something to live for.
375
History isn’t something you look back at and say it was inevitable, it happens because people make decisions that are sometimes very impulsive and of the moment, but those moments are cumulative realities.
376
Writing, of course, is writing, acting comes from the theater, and cinematography comes from photography. Editing is unique to film. You can see something from different points of view almost simultaneously, and it creates a new experience.
377
To see that I have this huge platform now, and so many people are listening to what I have to say, it really makes me want to orientate toward something that would really educate people, create awareness, do something more than just show them a cute outfit or what I’m having for lunch.
378
379
People learn something every day, and a lot of times it’s that what they learned the day before was wrong.
380
I don’t think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.
381
A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
382
383
384
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
385
386
We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.
387
388
No one ever talks about the moment you found that you were white. Or the moment you found out you were black. That’s a profound revelation. The minute you find that out, something happens. You have to renegotiate everything.
389
390
391
Climate change isn’t something people get to choose to believe or not: it’s happening.
392
If you’re going to do something, do it with style!
393
394
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
395
Don’t settle for what life gives you; make life better and build something.
396
397
The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race.
398
399
The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do.
400
401
The streets were dark with something more than night.
402
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it’s the exact opposite.
403
404
Fun is one of the most important – and underrated – ingredients in any successful venture. If you’re not having fun, then it’s probably time to call it quits and try something else.
405
If an animal does something, we call it instinct; if we do the same thing for the same reason, we call it intelligence.
406
Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can’t, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.
407
So a good teacher always makes you do something a little bit more than you thought that you could do.
408
409

411
412
413
My mom and dad did something special when they made me.
414
415
Character isn’t something you were born with and can’t change, like your fingerprints. It’s something you weren’t born with and must take responsibility for forming.
416
One thing is sure. We have to do something. We have to do the best we know how at the moment… If it doesn’t turn out right, we can modify it as we go along.
417
Freedom is something that dies unless it’s used.
418
419
420
The first time you say something, it’s heard. The second time, it’s recognized, and the third time it’s learned.
421
When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
422
Life it is not just a series of calculations and a sum total of statistics, it’s about experience, it’s about participation, it is something more complex and more interesting than what is obvious.
423
To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
424
Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way – everything is interdependent, not absolute. So that view is very helpful to maintain a peace of mind because the main destroyer of a peaceful mind is anger.
425
426
Having children showed me a whole different kind of love that I had never known. It was something that had always been missing. Complete love. I would die for them.
427
You stand with the least likely to succeed until success is succeeded by something more valuable: kinship. You stand with the belligerent, the surly and the badly behaved until bad behavior is recognized for the language it is: the vocabulary of the deeply wounded and of those whose burdens are more than they can bear.
428
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.
429
430
I enjoy building something good and having a successful product and making money.
431
I am an agnostic, even though I respect and am interested in all religions. If there’s something I believe in, it’s a mysterious energy; the one that fills the oceans during tides, the one that unites nature and beings.
432
433
Grit is that ‘extra something’ that separates the most successful people from the rest. It’s the passion, perseverance, and stamina that we must channel in order to stick with our dreams until they become a reality.
434
435
436
I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore.
437
438
There’s something special about racing in real streets. The ‘artificial‘ circuits have a certain sameness to them. But every race conducted on real streets has a character of its own – Barcelona, Monaco, and now Long Beach.
439
440
441
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
442
The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn’t. If I choose to spend time playing video games or sleeping in, then it’s time well spent, because I chose to do it. I did it for a reason – to relax, to decompress or to feel good, and that was what I wanted to do.
443
Everybody has a different journey. Everybody has a different path, and you don’t really know what to expect. All you know is to just keep plugging away, and you hope something will come through and something will happen.
444
445
446
Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
447
If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s gathering people together to do something fun.
448
You don’t get any medal for trying something, you get medals for results.
449
Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you’re passionate about something, then you’re more willing to take risks.
450
451
I am very excited about the prospect of using cryptocurrency, not just as a money equivalent, but using it as a way to earn something as a result of doing some type of work.
452
453
Well, I think we tried very hard not to be overconfident, because when you get overconfident, that’s when something snaps up and bites you.
454
Forbid us something, and that thing we desire.
455
456
The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much. In public affairs, in the rebuilding of civilization, something less dramatic and emotional is needed, namely tolerance.
457
Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.
458
459
Violence is a big problem. Too many children are dying. Too many children. We must do something.
460
In times of great stress or adversity, it’s always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.
461
462
463
I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that’s how you grow. When there’s that moment of ‘Wow, I’m not really sure I can do this,’ and you push through those moments, that’s when you have a breakthrough.
464
465
Natural disasters are terrifying – that loss of control, this feeling that something is just going to randomly end your life for absolutely no reason is terrifying. But, what scares me is the human reaction to it and how people behave when the rules of civility and society are obliterated.
466
467
Improvement at anything is based on thousands of tiny failures, and the magnitude of your success is based on how many times you’ve failed at something.
468
Music is really something that makes people whole.
469
No matter what you do, people are always going to have something negative to say about it. You could spend your life constantly trying to seek people’s approval and validation, but there is always going to be someone that has something negative to say about what you’re doing.
470
For a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.
471
I realised that success and pure creativity are not very compatible. The more successful you become, the more you become a product of something that generates money. Instead of being able to move forward freely and do what you really wish, you find yourself stuck and obliged to repeat yourself and your previous success.
472
473
Confidence doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s a result of something… hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.
474
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.
475
Peter Parker is probably the most relatable superhero – maybe ever – because he goes through something that basically everyone has to go through. Whether it’s puberty or talking to girls or doing homework, he does it in such a human way. That’s why he’s such a beloved character: because so many people can relate to him.
476
I don’t need a stage to perform. We just need something to stand on.
477
Life is something to do when you can’t get to sleep.
478
Sometimes, idealistic people are put off the whole business of networking as something tainted by flattery and the pursuit of selfish advantage. But virtue in obscurity is rewarded only in Heaven. To succeed in this world you have to be known to people.
479
The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.
480
In open source, we feel strongly that to really do something well, you have to get a lot of people involved.
481
Greek philosophy seems to have met with something with which a good tragedy is not supposed to meet, namely, a dull ending.
482
It is a fact that cannot be denied: the wickedness of others becomes our own wickedness because it kindles something evil in our own hearts.
483
484
Man’s only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.
485
If you haven’t forgiven yourself something, how can you forgive others.
486
487
Even if I’m talking about something that’s negative, I look at it as putting my mistakes out there for people to learn from it.
488
489
For me, winning isn’t something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream.
490
491
The fact is that when you do something from your heart, you leave a heart print.
492
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
493
Before I speak, I have something important to say.
494
The reason I made my stage name Kali Uchis is because it’s still me in the sense that, my dad called me ‘Kali Uchis’ my whole life. It’s still something I’ve been called since I was a baby. It’s still me.
495
Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.
496
497
I was terrible in English. I couldn’t stand the subject. It seemed to me ridiculous to worry about whether you spelled something wrong or not, because English spelling is just a human convention – it has nothing to do with anything real, anything from nature.
498
499
We will build the city from scratch. It will be drone-friendly and a center for the development of robotics. We want to create something different. Neom is a place for dreamers who want to create something new in the world, something extraordinary.
500
Your premium brand had better be delivering something special, or it’s not going to get the business.
501
It’s like Forrest Gump said, ‘Life is like a box of chocolates.’ Your career is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. But everything you get is going to teach you something along the way and make you the person you are today. That’s the exciting part – it’s an adventure in itself.
502
503
I am someone who can’t hold on to negativity or hold on to grudges. I might feel something at a certain point, but I get tired after that. I don’t carry it with me. I forgive and forget very easily, and that’s the only way to be happy and peaceful.
504
You are absolutely free to describe me as a turtle or something.
505
The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized – never knowing.
506
If you’re proud of something, and if you’re proud of your work at the end of the day, the experience, walking away, you can feel good about it; that’s what you have to focus on.
507
God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.
508
509
If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.
510
Safety is something that happens between your ears, not something you hold in your hands.
511
Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we’re too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone.
512
513
If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.
514
Experience is what you get while looking for something else.
515
There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we’d all love one another.
516
517
518
I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past.
519
As long as you as an individual… can convince yourself that in order to move forward as best you can you have to be optimistic, you can be described as ‘one of the faithful,’ one of those people who can say, ‘Well, look, something’s going to happen! Let’s just keep trying. Let’s not give up.
520
Creating something new is the difficult part. To make it and build it and get everyone to follow? Amazing.
521
I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
522
523
524
Find something that you’re really interested in doing in your life. Pursue it, set goals, and commit yourself to excellence. Do the best you can.
525
