Real People
Using

- Aaron Koblin
Been
Instructions
I've always been interested in technology, but specifically how we can use machines to engage the imagination. I started using computers when I was young and was fascinated by creating rules and instructions that allow a computer to engage in a dialogue with humans. The stories found in the data all around us can do just that.
- Aaron Koblin
Communicate
Access
All of a sudden, if you think about the entire ecosystem of connected devices that can pull down information, access content and allow me to share and work and communicate, the vast majority now are not Windows computers. They are iPhones. They are iPads. They are Android devices.
- Aaron Levie
Like
Over
I like to push the limit to how much air we can put in the football, even go over what they allow you to do and see if the officials take air out of it.
- Aaron Rodgers
Give
Margin
Touch is more important than arm strength. You want to really allow the receiver to run underneath the throw. It'll give you a little margin for error if you undershoot it a bit.
- Aaron Rodgers
Access
Ensure
The Open Access Movement has fought valiantly to ensure that scientists do not sign their copyrights away but instead ensure their work is published on the Internet, under terms that allow anyone to access it.
- Aaron Swartz
Nile
Projects
Seriously, who really cares how long the Nile river is, or who was the first to discover cheese? How is memorizing that ever going to help anyone? Instead, we need to give kids projects that allow them to exercise their minds and discover things for themselves.
- Aaron Swartz
Through
Kinds
My teammates have put me in all different kinds of positions to score goals, and I can't say it enough, and I really through and through believe it in my heart that I'm only as good as my teammates allow me to be.
- Abby Wambach
Other
Mosque
To allow the construction of places of worship other than Islamic ones in Saudi Arabia, it would be like asking the Vatican to build a mosque inside of it.

Dreamer
Idiot
I was described as a dreamer, a fantasist, even as the village idiot. I didn't care. What I cared about was convincing people to allow me to go on with my work.
- Ada Yonath
Images
Laws
We should craft our laws to allow images of criminal suspects to be captured in public - but also to make sure that the government does not unduly infringe on the privacy rights of innocent citizens.
- Adam Cohen
Lawyers
Laws
Mississippi's loose campaign finance laws allow lawyers and companies to contribute heavily to the judges they appear before. That is terrible for justice, since the courts are teeming with perfectly legal conflicts of interest.
- Adam Cohen
Practice
Set
The Internet was supposed to allow anyone to set up a web page and share their knowledge with the world. But in practice, it's too difficult and takes too long, and almost no one does it.
- Adam D'Angelo
Magic
Lucky
I was lucky enough to have an older brother who shared the splatter flicks with me, and I had parents who were cool and involved enough in my life to allow me to see them. I think my folks appreciated that I looked at these movies as a creative outlet... almost like magic shows, if you will.
- Adam Green
The Most Important
The Internet is probably the most important technological advancement of my lifetime. Its strength lies in its open architecture and its ability to allow a framework where all voices can be heard.
- Adam Savage
Financial
Need
You need to have a lot of human judgment involved in the financial industry in terms of risk management, in terms of investment decisions, and things that really allow us to blend the best of technology and the human brain.
- Adena Friedman
Clients
Using
I like the idea of using all this science and technology to allow for our clients to have a deeper insight into the market.
- Adena Friedman
Color
Will
It will be helpful in our mutual objective to allow every man in America to look his neighbor in the face and see a man-not a color.
- Adlai E. Stevenson
Will
Use
If you allow men to use you for your own purposes, they will use you for theirs.
- Aesop
Woman
Streets
They allow us to disrespect our Black woman. A lot of these things would be considered criminal if it were to be carried out in the streets. That's like when they tell you after you buy your VHS and you rent movies they tell you not to copy the movies.
- Afrika Bambaataa
Will
Harm
Iraq will not allow any action on its soil that could harm the U.S. We don't want any action from our soil to target our neighbors.

Individual
Show

- Aja Naomi King
Thankful
Occupy
Teaching does allow me to keep one foot in the youthful waters I tend to occupy in my novels, so I'm thankful for that. My students also remind me on a daily basis that the stories I collected during my district attorney days are actually interesting to people who haven't had that experience.
- Alafair Burke
Learn
Prejudices
From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history), men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn.
- Aldous Huxley
Everybody
Striped
Everybody has their own taste, and I allow for that, but personally, I don't like a striped tie on a striped shirt. I don't like brown shoes with a blue suit. Cordovan maybe, but not brown.
- Alec Baldwin
Think
Shut
I'd like to shut off all the noise and allow people to be creative without all the judgments and standards that we think we have to follow.
- Alessia Cara
Small
Mosque
In Ghazalia, Mr. Hussein showed his contempt for the majority Shiites in ways large and small. He refused to allow them even one mosque, while the Sunnis had nearly a dozen. To worship, the Shiites had to cross an inconveniently located bridge over the sewage canal to Shula.
- Alex Berenson
Focus
About
My ultimate goal is to create operating systems for myself that allow me to think as little as possible about the silly decisions you can make all day long - like what to eat or where we should meet - so I can focus on making real decisions. Because mental energy is a finite quantity.
- Alexa Von Tobel
Career
Hiring
Political views in the hiring of career attorneys and staff should not be used. If I am asked to do that, I will not allow it.
- Alexander Acosta
Compete
Patriotic
Americans are very patriotic and they want someone to support. In order to entice more fans, and to allow F1 to compete with Nascar and IndyCar, there needs to be an American driver.
- Alexander Rossi
Other
Subjects
VCE exams do not showcase students' abilities. By this, I mean that the system fails to recognise the diversity of skills, and most subjects do not allow students to demonstrate skills in a form other than a written exam.
- Alexandra Adornetto
Given
Mistreat
See, I respect boxing because it has given me so much and that's why I will never allow anyone to mistreat the sport of boxing if I can help it.

Add
Fullness
All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract; or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.
- Alice Walker
Mom
Affect
I've actually suffered from allergies my entire life. My mom had allergies, so I was aware of what an issue they can be. Many people allow their allergies to affect their lives. As a mom with two kids and two jobs, I just can't let allergies slow me down. It's a day to day thing that can really be remedied by finding the right medication.
- Alison Sweeney
I Think
Muslim
I think we have to understand that when tolerance becomes a one-way street, it will lead to cultural suicide. We should not allow the Muslim Brotherhood or associated groups to be influencing our national security strategy.
- Allen West
Conservative
Away
We must not allow the liberals to move us away from the conservative values of the American past which sustain our present and shall secure our future. As for me and my family, we will serve God, we will serve this constitutional republic, we will serve America.
- Allen West
Doing
Been
It was important for me as a theater artist to allow myself and my interests to evolve over time and allow my notion of what success meant to evolve over time. I've always had a day job and never been just acting. But it didn't make me feel like I wasn't doing what I was supposed to be doing.
- Allison Tolman
Making
Replace
Do not allow watching food to replace making food.
- Alton Brown
Circumstances
About
Experimental economics is about conducting experiments: bringing economics into the laboratory or creating controlled conditions in the field that allow us to understand better what we are seeing in less controlled circumstances.
- Alvin E. Roth
Very
I Write
I'm very serious about what I write and who I allow to produce the music, because I want to make sure it's a true album, and not just something pushed out there to create hype and more fame for myself.

Break
Executive
There was a break in the proceedings when Peter Greste was deported, and that was considered sufficient then to allow the executive to intervene.
- Amal Clooney
Television
Created
Every episode of 'The Conversation' was created to be a platform for women, to connect women, and to allow women's voices to be heard as much as possible. That's why I launched that show on a television network and online simultaneously.
- Amanda de Cadenet
Aim
Week
I try to work out at the least 3 days a week, and I aim for 4 to 5 days a week. I try to eat healthy, but I'm not going to say I'm best the best at that. I won't allow myself to buy junk food, but if it's somewhere and it's free, I'll eat it.
- Amber Stevens
Soul
Mood
To be sure, we would not allow the world, if we can help it, to peep into our soul, much less to enter it. Our No-Man's-Land is hedged about with a wire entanglement of insincerities. And often we take refuge in a temperament, a pose, or a mystic mood.
- Ameen Rihani
Away
Other
When you walk into those situations that have a lot of conflict in them, the first thing to do is to be present enough to allow the other person to speak first. You're not giving power away; you're actually allowing them to feel seen and understood.
- Amy Cuddy
Benefits
Which
I would prefer a public option that would be a competitive option that would allow people to buy into a Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, which is a series of private plans.
- Amy Klobuchar
Love
I Think
It's hard to get those roles that allow you to show everything and feel like you're really being used and exhausted and spent, which I think is what actors really love: We want to be tired.
- Amy Landecker
Other
Part
When you read about the lives of other people, people of different circumstances or similar circumstances, you are part of their lives for that moment. You inhabit their lives, and you feel what they're feeling, and that is compassion. If we see that reading does allow us that, we see how absolutely essential reading is.
- Amy Tan
Next
Compete
We are going to make people who do some things with Santander into loyal customers who bank with us every day. This is what will allow us to compete in a world where banking customers have more and more choice. If we don't do this, then we won't grow in the next decade.
- Ana Patricia Botin
Other
Likely
If someone knows me and likes me or my work, they're more likely to allow me to tell their story. But it also cuts the other way.
- Anderson Cooper
Freedom
I Think
Because of technology today, we expect kids to stay in touch with us too much. I think that's unnatural. We really do have to give kids their freedom and allow them to go off and become adults.
- Andie MacDowell
Young
Accountable
Scholarships that allow students to get a good education are important, but first we want to measure the progress that the schools are teaching our students, we want to hold them accountable for the progress, we want to hold the schools accountable for teaching the young people in America.
- Andrew Card
Myself
Going
I'm not going to allow myself to be pushed politically.
- Andrew Cuomo
Okay
Drop
Absolute faith can blind you to the consequences of the actions you allow. It can tell you it's okay to drop bombs on another country, or that it's okay to hate a group of people such as homosexuals.
- Andrew Denton
I Think
Interact
I think you can say that life is a system in which proteins and nucleic acids interact in ways that allow the structure to grow and reproduce. It's that growth and reproduction, the ability to make more of yourself, that's important.
- Andrew H. Knoll
Doing
Scale
If we are able to allow people to earn a decent rate of return, with sufficient scale, we can all do well by doing good.
- Andrew Lo
Behind
Role
Those who say we should dismantle the role of Poet Laureate altogether, the trick they miss is that being called this thing, with the weight of tradition behind it, and with the association of the Royal family, does allow you to have conversations and to open doors, and wallets, for the good of poetry in a way that nothing else would allow.
- Andrew Motion
Insurance
Everyone
An 'exchange' would allow everyone to choose their health care insurance from a broad range of options - just like federal employees and Congress do right now - and allow their employer to help pay for it.
- Andrew P. Harris
Other
Idiotic
I don't really have any interest in allowing other people's kind of idiotic, unnecessary, either bigotry or hatred or whatever derision they have for me, I don't allow for it to really bother me, because I don't need it.
- Andy Biersack
Good
Mum
I don't want a flashy car, just something that would allow me to stop using the Tube. And it would be good not to have to rely on my mum all the time, particularly when I have to listen to her singing in her car.
- Andy Murray
Woman
Career
This is a career about images. It's celluloid; they last for ever. I'm a black woman from America. My people were slaves in America, and even though we're free on paper and in law, I'm not going to allow you to enslave me on film, in celluloid, for all to see.
- Angela Bassett
Rest
Making
But at the same time you can't assume that making a difference 20 years ago is going to allow you to sort of live on the laurels of those victories for the rest of your life.
- Angela Davis
Father
Special
When I was growing up, my father would not allow me to get a perm, so I straightened my hair for special occasions.
- Angela Robinson
About
Consumed
We have a choice about how we take what happens to us in our life and whether or not we allow it to turn us. We can become consumed by hate and darkness, or we're able to regain our humanity somehow, or come to terms with things and learn something about ourselves.
- Angelina Jolie
Work
Own
My style of writing is to allow the story to unfold on its own. I try not to structure my work too rigidly.
- Anita Desai
Lose
Like
Like many readers, I am continually in search of books that allow me to lose myself in an entirely unique universe.
- Anita Shreve
Play
Half
I was a mother who worked ridiculously hard to keep catastrophe at bay. I didn't allow my kids to eat hamburgers for fear of E. coli. I didn't allow them to play with rope, string, balloons - anything that might strangle them. They had to bite grapes in half, avoid lollipops, eat only when I could watch them.
- Ann Hood
United States
Which
Having no diplomatic representation in Washington, China has no sources which allow her to check the character of applicants and therefore makes the practice of refusing everybody from the United States.
- Anna Louise Strong
Arizona
Girl Scouts
As a little girl in Arizona, none of the women in my family had a cultural connection with Girl Scouts, but the opportunity resonated with my mother as a platform that would allow me to excel in school.
- Anna Maria Chavez
Healthier
Safer
Using predictive models from engineering and public health, designers will plan safer, healthier cities that could allow us to survive natural disasters, pandemics, and even a radiation calamity that drives us underground.

Work
Sometimes
We sometimes allow writers to publish their work without editing on io9.
- Annalee Newitz
Needs
Benefits
Work/life benefits allow companies meaningful ways for responding to their employees' needs; they can be a powerful tool for transforming a workforce and driving a business' success.
- Anne M. Mulcahy
Fiction
Give
Fiction allows you to embody certain ideas and give them an emotional reality. The characters allow you to get close viscerally to an idea.
- Anne Michaels
Think
Landscapes
I'd like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.
- Annie Leibovitz
Nine
Principle
To allow the policy question of same-sex marriage to be considered and resolved by a select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a principle even more fundamental than no taxation without representation: no social transformation without representation.
- Antonin Scalia
Politics
Some
Consciousness permits us to develop the instruments of culture - morality and justice, religion, art, economics and politics, science and technology. Those instruments allow us some measure of freedom in the confrontation with nature.
- Antonio Damasio
Important
Very
It is very important for me that my clothes are comfortable and allow me to feel like myself and at ease.
- Anushka Sharma
Destiny
Upset
Factors such as timing, luck, and destiny have a bearing on success. But success and failure are good teachers. Failure means something better is waiting for you. But I will allow myself to get upset at failure only if I know I have not given it my all.
- Anushka Shetty
Thought
Helping
Muse is going to be part of everyday life as an indispensable tool helping people overcome mental, physical and emotional barriers. It's going to allow us to free ourselves in ways we never thought possible.
- Ariel Garten
Jealousy
Through
Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.
- Aristotle
Nothing
Go
If a man is secure enough to allow his partner to go out and express herself, and if he does not feel as ambitious as her, he can be a homemaker also. There is nothing wrong with it.
- Arjun Kapoor
Happen
Given
Women who want to work should be given the choice to do that. If you decide to work even after getting married, then men should allow that to happen.
- Arjun Kapoor
Religious
Some
At some point we must make a decision not to allow the mere threat of charges of cultural or religious insensitivity to stop us from dealing with this evil.
- Armstrong Williams
Protecting
Capital
Our purpose, as we face these challenges, remains clear - fair and orderly markets that allow for efficient capital formation, while protecting the interests of investors.
- Arthur Levitt
New
Over
Banning cash transactions over R3 lakh will allow banks to diversify their banking activities into new areas and not mundane ones.
- Arundhati Bhattacharya
Very
Discussing
I believe in discussing very thoroughly what should be the goal. When discussing it, I allow others to give their views.
- Arundhati Bhattacharya
Used
Developed
Often times, music is used to evoke an emotion and it's become a cliche, so I don't want to do that, and actually what I do, is that emotional intensity that has developed throughout the film, I allow it to get released by having that music at the end with the credits.
- Asghar Farhadi
Love
Carbs
I just love carbs. And when I'm on vacation I definitely allow myself carbs, so it's always funny when people are like, 'Oh my gosh, you look great in your bikini.' I'm like, 'If you only knew what I had for breakfast!'
- Ashley Tisdale
Half
Big
Half the time on vacation, if I'm in a bikini, I allow myself - I eat, like, waffles and pancakes for breakfast, so that's me after, like, a big meal. I'm not the one that's like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm going to be on the beach.'
- Ashley Tisdale
Very
Though
Though it is very easy to do valuations, eyeballs and brand prominence surveys, you should never allow any of them to influence the balance sheet.
- Ashwin Sanghi
Against
Very
Pakistan has assured that it would not allow its territory to be used against India for any acts of terror. India must also reciprocate and address our concerns which are very genuine. Dialogue is the only way forward. Absence of dialogue leads to tension.
- Asif Ali Zardari
Idea
Another
My background is Indian, so I believe in a spiritual idea that there is another level, another layer or layers, if you will, above us. I believe that there are elements that allow things to be drawn together, a sort of energy.
- Asif Kapadia
Circumstances
Which
Until fighting ends and there are conditions, which allow the free expression of will by the people, there can be no elections and elections are not held in these circumstances anywhere in the world.
