It had to happen to me sometime: sooner or later, I would have to lose

sight of the cutting edge. That moment every technical person fears - the fall into knowledge exhaustion, obsolescence, techno-fuddy-duddyism - there was no reason to think I could escape it forever.
Ellen Ullman

Innovation and its allure can be dangerous. It can draw you away from the user, from the intended outcome, and may be the ultimate demise of otherwise great intentions.
Mark Brand

My voice is different, but I don't think I'm the only one with a different take on pop music.
Charli XCX

In South Africa, we drive on the left-hand side, and most of the cars are standard, so I learned with a full-gear transmission with a clutch and hill starts. I've never driven an automatic until I came to Canada.
Jodi Balfour

Mexico has 44 treaties with other countries that make it very advantageous to do international shipping from Mexico rather than from the United States.
Wilbur Ross

Winning HOYS set me up for the future and prepared me for riding in front of lots of people, but the real highlight was the London 2012 Olympics. Being able to go out in front of thousands of people, on your home ground, representing your country and winning gold medals is something I'll never be able to beat.
Charlotte Dujardin

People don't step outside themselves and make the film they want to make, because they're afraid of the reaction. But once you get that reaction and have lived through it, there's nothing they can do to get you down.
Ryan Gosling

I always wanted to do something different with each film. So I guess that means that I wanted to not repeat myself. There has to be some kind of a new element in each project that I take up.
Shraddha Kapoor

I love when people say 'Imitation Game' is such a crowd pleaser.
Morten Tyldum

I was a senior in high school, and my mom saw on the news at work that they were having an open call in New York, and she thought it's for a musical, and maybe we should go and just sort of chalk it up to a new experience... And so, we did. We went.

As I have discovered by examining my past, I started out as a child.

Coincidentally, so did my brother. My mother did not put all her eggs in one basket, so to speak: she gave me a younger brother named Russell, who taught me what was meant by 'survival of the fittest.' Bill Cosby There was a war crimes trial because an American prisoner had been shot trying to escape. He had obviously been recaptured and shot, and that violated the Geneva Convention. Charles Guggenheim He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king. John Milton Everyone confesses that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us; but most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do. Harriet Beecher Stowe If that's the way the game is played, I don't want to play anymore. Joyce DeWitt

I was very lucky. Things happened, both bad and good, but I never got into

real, deep trouble. But it wore me down. By the time I was 18, I was done. I didn't want to live the life any more. I needed to develop past the point that busking takes you to. Madeleine Peyroux We wanted to be certain they didn't have a bigger deficit, and Kennedy agreed with me. Wilbur Mills If I'm in a slump, I ask myself for advice. Ichiro Suzuki A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts. Lucius Annaeus Seneca We gained his operational capabilities and he gained our marketing skills. Mercer Reynolds Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm. Graham Greene Life is largely a matter of expectation. Horace

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably

more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people. Donna Karan What we have in us of the image of God is the love of truth and justice. Demosthenes There was no television, so the radio provided you with everything. Ruben Blades All the beasts in Howling Forest were safe in their caves, nests, and burrows. Michael Ende If I wasn't Bob Dylan, I'd probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself. Bob Dylan

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will

be enforced - the just demands of peace and security will be met - or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power. Colin Powell I am emphatically against the privatization of Social Security. It is going to hurt millions of American women, American families and ultimately the whole country. Barbara Mikulski Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another. Thomas Hobbes People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. Unknown We talked about Tootsie, the idea in Tootsie is that a man becomes a better man for having been a woman. Sydney Pollack

When it comes to racial issues, I'm very passionate about young girls just loving who

they are in their own skin. Because I remember going to an all-white school and being the only black girl in an all-white school, think - looking around me, thinking there's no one else here that looks like me. Kelly Rowland I've attended many concerts where I felt let down and I was wishing it would be something else. Not that it's their duty to please me, but at the same time, I think a lot about what it's like through the eyes of the consumer, the fan. I want not to pander to the audience, but to be aware of them. Trent Reznor I don't particularly have a wide social circle. Scott Rudin Politics is marginal, but literature moves along by indirection. Italo Calvino I will not look back and say, 'I should have played in England.' Zlatan Ibrahimovic People will remember a good comedy song a lot longer than they would some of the so-called straight love songs. Ray Stevens I can be described as many things, but no description of me is complete...

I'll talk about these things, but it's just, you know, you only get so much

time and I'm much more interested in what I'm going to be doing next year than in something I did 10 years ago. Walter Hill He is not a lover who does not love forever. Euripides I hate it when people come up to me when I'm eating. Shirley Bassey Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible. Eric Hoffer Money, not morality, is the principle commerce of civilized nations. Thomas Jefferson Be it jewel or toy, not the prize gives the joy, but the striving to win the prize. Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton Ring out the false, ring in the true. Alfred Lord Tennyson

The day I left baseball, I became smart. When I was in baseball, I played

for the love of the game. I'd sign any contract they gave me. But then I stopped playing and began doing interviews with the players at the ball park. I began to see the light. Chuck Connors 'Alien' is a landmark. One of the really good science-fiction films. Ridley Scott Being beautiful is not so fun when you're in a business with all men. Lady Gaga When I was 13, I had a weekend job at the Photographers Gallery Bookshop in London. Beeban Kidron It seems like in the beginning of my flight, the space dreams were rare. And now, almost 150 days into it, the Earth dreams are more of the rare ones. Scott Kelly I love doing what I do. I'm a born mentor. I've launched so many people's careers. I worked hard. Paula Abdul It'd be fun to do a comedy with someone like Sandra Bullock. Christian Serratos You're not going to be liked by everybody when you speak the truth. I don't speak the truth to put people down; I don't speak the t...

It's a complete lie, why do people buy these papers? It's not the truth I'm

here to say. You know, don't judge a person, do not pass judgement, unless you have talked to them one on one. I don't care what the story is, do not judge them because it is a lie. Michael Jackson I think many years from now, people will still watch television, though it will probably be 150 inches wide. What will change is the ability to get 'CSI' not only on TV but also on the Internet, even watching it in a foreign country as it's playing in the U.S. Leslie Moonves I'm a parent, and I try to take care of my health and keep my life in order. In the last few years I've really had to decide what's important to me, and it seems to me that my family and my health are top on the list. And those have nothing to do with show business. Diana Ross Such lifestyle factors such as cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, little physical activity and low dietary calcium intake are risk factors for osteoporosis as well as for many other non-commun...

In the 1950s in the United States, few music lovers were listening to chamber music.

Daddy played Bach and Haydn on our phonograph for me. Not only did I become familiar with the form; he discussed the concerti. My own head start. My own Head Start. Karen DeCrow Many people in Europe and the U.S. dispute the thesis that we are living through a clash of civilisations between Islam and the west. But a radical minority of Muslims firmly believes that Islam is under siege, and is committed to winning the holy war it has declared against the West. Ayaan Hirsi Ali The major religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, they deny somehow that God has a feminine face. However, if you go to the holy texts, you see there is this feminine presence. Paulo Coelho Recording is just a lengthy process, so to have to record before every professional video, that's where a real time drain comes in. Riki Lindhome I really do believe the camera steals the soul. But that may be because I'm worried about my soul. I don't have much of a soul to begin with; I can't affor...

To accomplish its mission, the FBI relies heavily upon its law enforcement and intelligence partners

around the nation and around the globe. By combining our resources and our collective expertise, we are able to investigate national security threats that cross both geographical and jurisdictional boundaries. James Comey There's never any time I think I'm a real journalist, because I don't have any of the qualifications or the intentions for that. John Oliver Filming is always a challenge because I'm not used to it. But I approach it head-on. I'm not technically brilliant, but it's the spirit that counts. Martin Parr One of the things we urge Y-Combinator companies to do is to have profitability in grasp. If you need to get profitable before your A round of money, you ought to be able to do that. Sam Altman My style was always to put the audience in the driving seat, so they feel they're a part of the action. John Glen Many ribosomes act simultaneously along the mRNA, forming superstructures called polysomes. Ada Yonath Not to rag on mysel...
