Past
Here
So with truth - there is a certain moment when one can say, this is the truth and here I put a dot, a stop, and I go to another thing. A judge has to put an end to a deliberation. But for a historian, there's never an end to the past. It can go on and on and on.
- A. B. Yehoshua
Bright
Literary
You have to remember that I was a bright but simple fellow from Canada who seldom, if ever, met another writer, and then only a so-called literary type that occasionally sold a story and meanwhile worked in an office for a living.
- A. E. van Vogt
Very
Nevertheless
It would no doubt be very sentimental to argue - but I would argue it nevertheless - that the peculiar combination of joy and sadness in bell music - both of clock chimes, and of change-ringing - is very typical of England. It is of a piece with the irony in which English people habitually address one another.
- A. N. Wilson
Play
Tell
Of all liars the most arrogant are biographers: those who would have us believe, having surveyed a few boxes full of letters, diaries, bank statements and photographs, that they can play at the recording angel and tell the whole truth about another human life.
- A. N. Wilson
Bad
Critical
I divide criticism into two categories - one coming from those who understand music, who are worthy of being critical because they are knowledgeable about what they are saying; and then there is another category of people who would criticise you anyway, whether your work is good or bad.
- A. R. Rahman
Color
Dallas
It's OK to do cute little things like kissing a turtle, but you can't kiss another person because he's a different color? Give me a break. And you have to remember, I'm from Dallas, Texas.
- Aaron Spelling
Musicians
No Time
Whenever I visited China in the past, the relationships always felt superficial; there was no time where I felt those moments of conflict and delight that make you feel close to another person. But since I started touring there in 2004, I would always collaborate with local musicians, and that opened up a new level of intimacy.
- Abigail Washburn
Telling
Reader
There is that lovely feeling of one reader telling another, 'You must read this.' I've always wanted to write a book like that, with the sense that you are contributing to the discourse in middle America, a discourse that begins at a book club in a living room, but then spreads. That is meaningful to me.
- Abraham Verghese
End Of The Day
I'm a piece of work, man. I will do what I want, at all times, always. Nobody's going to persuade me one way or another. I can't be persuaded. I take criticism, I listen, I analyze, but at the end of the day, I make the decisions. Because that's the way I started, and that's the way I'm going to finish.
- Action Bronson
Father
Balcony
Once, when I tried to calculate the height of the balcony, I broke my arm. Another time, I wanted to see if water moves faster than kerosene. When my father came out to smoke, a fire broke out.
- Ada Yonath
Never
Person
I'd never hurt another person.
- Adam Carolla
Gun
Hidden
It is one thing to say that there is a constitutional right to keep a gun at home for protection. It is quite another to say there is a constitutional right to bring a hidden gun into a daycare center.
- Adam Cohen
College
Advice
That's another piece of advice: Don't go to college; follow your dreams. Unless you're a doctor - then go to college.
- Adam DeVine
Play
TV
The first job I got was this TV job in this show called 'The Unusuals.' Then I did a play called 'Slipping,' and at the same time I was rehearsing another play at Playwrights Horizons, and that kind of snowballed into a bunch of plays.
- Adam Driver
Show
Needed
At 15 I auditioned for 42nd Street in Australia. Dein Perry was in that show. I actually got the job but I couldn't do it because I was only 15. Legally I needed to have another 15-year-old to cover consecutive nights.
- Adam Garcia
Focus
Role
When it comes to landing a good job, many people focus on the role. Although finding the right title, position, and salary is important, there's another consideration that matters just as much: culture.
- Adam Grant
Been
About
As more women 'lean in' and we collectively continue to fight sexism, there's another barrier to progress that hasn't been addressed: Many men who would like to see more women leaders are afraid to speak up about it.
- Adam Grant
Love
Bible
The Bible calls us to love our neighbors, and to do justice and love kindness, not to indiscriminately kill one another.
- Adam Hamilton
Failure
Treasure
If one's man's trash is another man's treasure, then one industry's potential failure is another's opportunity.
- Adam Lashinsky
Doing
Movie
I was shocked when 'The Hobbit' ended where it ended. I wasn't paying attention to what they were doing; I didn't know they had another movie, and I couldn't believe it was when the dragon came out.
- Adam McKay
Business
One Thing
The ethics of journalism are one thing. Another thing is the ethics of business.
- Adam Michnik
Like
Going
Whether you like another band's music or not you never know who is going to take you out on tour or who you are going to be friends with and that is just something that is important to us.
- Adam Rich
Will
September
The prompt assimilation of that intelligence will be essential if we are to avoid another September 11th.
- Adam Schiff
I Think
Through
I think in most cases, when you're writing a song, you're just making up a little story, and you're not really thinking about making a point one way or another about it. You're just coming up with a little scenario and seeing it through, and that's it.
- Adam Schlesinger
Active
Been
In another situation, and in an active station in life, I should have been keenly occupied, and the founding of an order would have never come into my head.
- Adam Weishaupt
Shadow
Hearty
I will give you three days to seek your shadow. Return to me in the course of that time with a well-fitted shadow, and you shall receive a hearty welcome; otherwise, on the fourth day - remember, on the fourth day - my daughter becomes the wife of another.
- Adelbert von Chamisso
Big
Very
Fluid intelligence is not a Big Five personality trait: It's a measurement of one's ability to rapidly learn and apply a rule set. As an entrepreneur, you're rapidly dealing with different issues, and your ability to switch from one issue to another is very important.
- Adeo Ressi
Move
Shift
Individuals move and shift from one party to another simply on their aspirations for office.
- Adolfo Aguilar Zinser
Prisoner
Obama
The best power of all is to be free, but Obama is not a free person. He is a prisoner of a military system. He talked about closing Guantanamo and ending the war in Iraq. Now he's taken on another war. What's happening?
- Adolfo Perez Esquivel
Lord
Used
Our daughter's name Arwynn comes from Arwen in 'Lord of the Rings' because my wife and I met for the first time in the Eagle and Child pub in Oxford where J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis used to go to read out their stories to one another.
- Adrian McKinty
Like
Hang
We hang out, we help one another, we tell one another our worst fears and biggest secrets, and then, just like real sisters, we listen and don't judge.
- Adriana Trigiani
Mind
Tale
The mind's passion is all for singling out. Obscurity has another tale to tell.
- Adrienne Rich
Will
Passage
I don't expect that because I was successful in one field that I will then get a ride of passage into another.

Shop
Record
I'm recording another demo for another batch of record labels that we'll shop it around to.

Loves
Plays
Instead of focusing on, 'Oh, there's a black lady who plays videogames,' focus on that there's another person out there who loves the same stuff that you do.
- Aisha Tyler
Love
Woman
I love the powerful woman who's complicated. There's no push to be one thing or another thing. It's all human. That's what you look for as an actor: characters written and portrayed in the most human way possible.
- Aja Naomi King
I Remember
South
I remember as a boy when the conversation on civil rights was won in the South. I remember a time when one of my friends made a racist joke and another said, 'Hey man, we don't go for that anymore.'
- Al Gore
Point Of View
Why
It's joyful in that there's another point of view on all things, you know, not just mine. That's why I like to write and collaborate with people. There's another point of view, and when those two things come together, and people work at it really hard, they get something that is the whole is more than the sum of - is that how you say that?
- Al Jarreau
Auditions
Out
When I was younger, I would go to auditions to have the opportunity to audition, which would mean another chance to get up there and try out my stuff, or try out what I learned and see how it worked with an audience, because where are you gonna get an audience?
- Al Pacino
King
Took
Dr. King's general principles are universal. But the things he confronted took place in another era.
- Al Sharpton
Resist
Them
I have a passion for luggage - trunks and so on. I have a collection of them, but I can never resist buying another piece.
- Alain Ducasse
People
Laughing
When people are laughing, they're generally not killing one another.
- Alan Alda
Going
Town
You know what my earliest memories are? Going from one burlesque town to another. My father was in burlesque.
- Alan Alda
Back
Reader
I don't inflict horrors on readers. In my research, I've uncovered truly terrible documentations of cruelty and torture, but I leave that offstage. I always pull back and let the reader imagine the details. We all know to one degree or another the horrors of war.
- Alan Furst
Yes
1930s
Yes, I'm a reasonably good self-taught historian of the 1930s and '40s. I've never wanted to write about another time or place. I wouldn't know what to say about contemporary society.
- Alan Furst
Constant
Variable
One man's constant is another man's variable.
- Alan Perlis
Which
Purposes
Every program has two purposes: The one for which it was written and another for which it wasn't.
- Alan Perlis
Nature
Boring
Well, visual language is another boring discussion about the nature of film.
- Alan Rudolph
Other
Rather
Discovering that our solar system has many more planets than we ever expected, and that most of them are ice dwarfs rather than like Earth and the other rocky terrestrials, is just another step in the revolution in viewpoint that removed the Earth from the center of the physical universe and makes Earth all the more special.
- Alan Stern
Con
About
That's the great thing about Comic Con - people are so accepting of one another.
- Alan Tudyk
Against
Despairing
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
- Albert Camus
Doing
Going
I'm doing another Churchill. I did a Churchill for HBO and that was up to 1939 and there's talk of the war years. They were going to do it this fall, but the script wasn't going to be ready.
- Albert Finney
Game
Exciting
It was great to do and it's exciting to do those things. That's another thing, that one enjoys the game.
- Albert Finney
Away
Still
Now, one can often get away with playing music by ear when it is not being recorded, but writing is another matter; its mistakes are not forgotten because they are still there to confuse us.
- Albert Murray
Feel
Projects
With any good projects, I feel like the off-screen chemistry factors on-screen. It's great when you don't have to force it, but when it's not there, you better focus on getting there because, as we live with these characters, we spend more time with one another than we do our families at home.
- Aldis Hodge
Monstrous
Trained
What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.
- Aldous Huxley
Like
Hang
If human beings were shown what they're really like, they'd either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.
- Aldous Huxley
Falsehood
Form
Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another.
- Aleister Crowley
I Think
Through
When I think about growing up, I feel most affected by two travels that I made working in cargo boats when I was 16 and 18. One of them crossed through the Mississippi and Baton Rouge and Mobile, Alabama, and another went all the way to Europe.
- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
More
Rewarding
To direct actors is difficult. To direct actors in another language is more difficult, but directing non-actors in another language is one of the craziest things that I have done and one of the most rewarding experiences I have had.
- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Jews
Maintain
The Arabs have a God, the Jews have another, and the Catholics have another! And they're all fighting to maintain that they worship the one real God. Idiots!
- Alejandro Jodorowsky
Help
Affects
When you speak in another accent, it affects you. You can't help but be changed by it.
- Alessandro Nivola
Buy
Buyers
The lower spreads mean lower costs for investors, because Nasdaq investors generally do not trade directly with one another. Instead, they usually buy and sell from market-makers, brokerage firms that flip shares between buyers and sellers and keep the spread for themselves.
- Alex Berenson
Love
Mexico
I'd love to make another film in Mexico.
- Alex Cox
Play
Release
Football management is such a pressurised thing - horseracing is a release. I'm also learning to play the piano - I'm quite determined - it's another release from the pressure of my job.
- Alex Ferguson
Your
Everybody
In one way or another, everybody has this experience in their lives... the moment when you have to define your relationship to family and how your family's made you who you are, whether you've spent your life running from your family or deeply connected to your family.
- Alex Kurtzman
Good
Role
I don't want to say names, but there are certain companies I won't work with because of previous people they've worked with. I don't want to be put in the same category as another athlete that I don't necessarily think is a good role model.
- Alex Morgan
Big
German
I have a big scar in my thigh from a dog bite by my German shepherd. His name was Ripper. He was trying to get in a fight with another dog, and I tried to break it up, and he got me pretty good.
- Alex Rodriguez
Country
Other
There is no right to a job or a wage rate, but there is a right to move from one country to another in search of a better life. This is the point of view of Thomas Jefferson, John Locke and other great supporters of the natural rights tradition in America.
- Alex Tabarrok
Kind
Failures
If you compromise, and then you succeed, that's another kind of feeling. But if you compromise and fail, it's two failures at least.
- Alexander Chee
Door
Which
When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
- Alexander Graham Bell
Country
Still
There is this intimacy still in Botswana. It's a country of just under two million people, and there's this sense of connectedness, in that people tend to be related to one another.
- Alexander McCall Smith
Teach
Show
Teach me to feel another's woe, to hide the fault I see, that mercy I to others show, that mercy show to me.
- Alexander Pope
Nation
Other
When one nation is at war with another nation, the political machine does everything it can to vilify the people of the other nation, so it makes it easier to kill them. Which is understandable and it's happened this way throughout history.
- Alexander Siddig
Terrifying
Other
I feel like women bond with other women in this nonverbal way, where they take on each other's gestures. You start dressing more like each other, you eat the same food... It's a way of expressing regard: I want to be like you. Which is flattering, but if you view it another way, terrifying.
- Alexandra Kleeman
Sunglasses
Buy
I have tons of sunglasses. My husband won't let me buy another pair because I lose them all the time.
- Ali Larter
Some
Almost
I'm blessed in my good friends, and some of them happen to be writers, though that's almost never what our friendships are about. And every writer I've ever read, living or dead, has in one way or another helped and inspired. I have a feeling it's important not to mix the two up.
- Ali Smith
I Think
North
William Maxwell's my favorite North American writer, I think. And an Irish writer who used to write for 'The New Yorker' called Maeve Brennan, and Mary Lavin, another Irish writer. There were a lot of writers that I found in 'The New Yorker' in the Fifties who wrote about the same type of material I did - about emotions and places.
- Alice Munro
Line
Begun
If you bend a branch until it's horizontal, the sap will slow to a stopping point: a comma or colon, made of leaves grown into one another and over one another and hardened. Out of this pause comes a flower, which unfolds itself in spirals, as if the leaf form, unable to keep to its line, had begun to pivot.
- Alice Oswald
Speeches
Set
One child must never be set above another, even in casual conversation, not to mention in speeches that circle the globe.
- Alice Walker
Passionate
Feel
Once people see this 'Unplugged,' I just want them to feel the spontaneity, to feel passionate... I want you to see another side of me, that's free, and feel where my head is, where whatever happens, happens. I want you to feel inspired.
- Alicia Keys
Love
Other
A wedding, people decide to get married, it comes out of such love for one another and then women can turn into these other people. They're planning something that's the biggest event they'll ever plan in their lives and it turns them into this other person, so it's not totally the guy's fault that he's feeling disconnected from this person.
- Alison Brie
Never
Mortgage
I have never had another job and I don't have a mortgage.
- Alison Moyet
Passionate
Before
I was 16 before I met another passionate collector. One summer, I visited England; a new friend took me calling on his dotty, brilliant old aunt. She occupied a quaint house in Kent. Its walls were lined with glass-fronted cases full of what? Ancient shoe buckles.
- Allan Gurganus
Change
Shift
I believe the term modulation denotes in music the uninterrupted shift from one key to another: I do not know the term for change of rhythm without change of measure.
- Allen Tate
Back
Kind
If we were all kind, if we were all loving and respectful to one another, this world would be so different. So it starts with you, and you can do it. Don't let anything hold you back!
- Ally Brooke
Feel
Here
I feel that each and every one of us as individuals has a responsibility to one another. None of us would be here without the help of someone else - whether it be guardians, teachers, parents, relatives, etc. - someone contributed to your well being as a person. We're all connected in so many different ways.
- Alonzo Mourning
Life
Existence
The Bible has multiple accounts of people who were born with various conditions and in various states of existence, only to meet Jesus and be healed or delivered from whatever was their concern. Truly, there isn't a human ever born into this life without having to contend with one issue or another along life's journey.
- Alveda King
Having
Likely
The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it's all a bit weird.
- Alvin Lee
Want
Tell
Every time I decide I want a child I get another pet. I have 3 dogs, 13 birds and 3 horses, what does that tell you?
- Alyssa Milano
My Life
Other
Neil Gaiman swooped into my life though another friend, Jason Webley, who knew we were fans of each other's work and introduced us via email. Neil and I, like me and Ben, just hit it off instantly.
- Amanda Palmer
Love
Always
I love acting... I really do. I love crawling into another character's skin. That's something that I've always, always, always, always wanted.
- Amanda Tapping
Act
Repeating
Quotation, n: The act of repeating erroneously the words of another.
- Ambrose Bierce
Admiration
Polite
Admiration, n. Our polite recognition of another's resemblance to ourselves.
- Ambrose Bierce
Away
Acceptable
I am insecure about tomorrow. Will I get another job? Will it be appreciated? I will pursue acting for as long as I have a face and body that is acceptable to the people, but I still worry that if I don't do better tomorrow, it will all go away.
- Amitabh Bachchan
Work
Loves
Basically I am just another actor who loves his work and this thing about age only exists in the media.
- Amitabh Bachchan
Treat
Pretty
A lot of my movies were completely destroyed by the censors, who can be pretty arbitrary. They're not completely fair with how they treat one person vs. another.
- Amy Heckerling
Young
Some
I had a mother I could only seem to please with verbal accomplishments of some sort or another. She read constantly, so I read constantly. If I used words that might have seemed surprising at a young age, she would recognize that and it would please her.
- Amy Hempel
Before
Expanding
Before we even consider expanding Medicare, or another program based on its rates, we must reform our Medicare payment system so that it rewards value, not volume, and doesn't disadvantage states like Minnesota that provide high-quality care in an efficient way.
- Amy Klobuchar
Pay
Bill
I'm so fortunate in that I've never had another job to pay a bill but acting, since the day I got out of high school.
