- Abdolkarim Soroush
Next
Code
I wanted to reveal how genetic code is translated into protein. I knew a great application could be for antibiotics, since half of the useful ones target the ribosomes, but I didn't believe I could contribute to it. It was like the next Mount Everest to conquer. It was my dream to contribute something to humanity.
- Ada Yonath

- Alexander Grothendieck
Independence
Shop
In retrospect, I have come to recognise just how astounding my mother was during our childhood. She kept a woodwork shop and made beautiful furniture, as well as raising the pair of us in a society dominated by men. There really is nothing like war to reveal the power of patriarchy, but she always retained her independence.
- Alexandra Fuller
Coherent
Acts
The acts of the human race on the world's stage have doubtless a coherent unity, but the meaning of the vast tragedy enacted will be visible only to the eye of God, until the end, which will reveal it perhaps to the last man.
- Alfred de Vigny

In a paper called 'The Economics of Matching: Stability and Incentives,' I showed that there were not any mechanisms that would always both produce a stable matching and make it completely safe for all firms and workers to reveal their true preferences.

- Amanda de Cadenet
My Life
I Think
At different times in my life, I've made grand statements like, 'I want these many kids, and I want them by this age.' I think, with every year that goes by, I accept that I don't know when it's going to happen or how it's going to happen. I'll just take it one day at a time, and when I'm ready, I'll be ready. It'll reveal itself, I guess.
- America Ferrera
Acceptable
Iota
The director's task is to recreate life, its movement, its contradictions, its dynamic and conflicts. It is his duty to reveal every iota of the truth he has seen, even if not everyone finds that truth acceptable.
- Andrei Tarkovsky
Impact
Rather
Opinion pages have an impact on public debate, and they sometimes reveal things the government would rather have kept quiet.
- Andrew Rosenthal
Past
Mysteries
The problem is that even as you reveal the mysteries in your past, you are accumulating them in the present; complete honesty is the stuff of post-mortem, not autobiography.
- Andrew Solomon

- Ansel Adams
Which
Include
Mysteries, like the Masonic rites, are ones parents and elders are sworn not to reveal to the uninitiated, which include all children. And so we sought for signs.
- Anthony Hecht
Life
Begins
It may interest you to know that my breakup with Terry and this mystery did not happen concurrently in real life. That is a writer's device, which places Gabriel under even greater pressure when the mystery begins to reveal itself.
- Armistead Maupin
Ever
Amount
No amount of thought can ever reveal what comes unexpectedly.
- Arthur Erickson
Dancing
Hidden
The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.

Think
Which

- Charles Ives
Hidden
Angles

- Charles Munch
Better
Than
You've got to express yourself in life, and it's better out than in. What you reveal, you heal.
- Chris Martin
Very
Movie
There are movies where actors aren't characters but movie stars, being cool beyond belief throughout the whole movie. That is what it is. And we reveal ourselves when we act, very often without noticing. But if I can manage to do a character without showing anything of myself, then that's the ultimate goal for me. No leakage.
- Christian Bale
Through
Projects
We are probably the only artists in the world who have a 2,000-page book on a work of art that doesn't exist. But in this way, these projects reveal their identity through this whole process. When I'm starting, I only have the slightest idea of how the work of art will exist.
- Christo
Deny
Waits
To him that waits all things reveal themselves, provided that he has the courage not to deny, in the darkness, what he has seen in the light.
- Coventry Patmore
Sometimes
Feel
It is hard being a football loather, a football unfan. I sometimes feel as lonely as the sole survivor in the last reel of a Zombie film, as, one by one, old friends reveal themselves, with their glassy stares and outstretched arms, to have succumbed to the lure.
- Craig Brown
Thought
Guy
I'd always thought that, in all the great sci-fi constructs, there's always the guy who seems like he's the commander, but then you reveal that there's an even bigger puppet master up above and beyond him.
- Dan Fogelman
Truth
Laws
Science is the ultimate tool to reveal the laws of nature, and the one word written on its banner is Truth.
- Dan Shechtman
Through
Notes
In comics, there are depths that don't reveal themselves immediately, and the stuff that you might consider anal about 'Watching the Watchmen' - like the notes where I plot the rotation of a perfume bottle through the air - might not be particularly obvious to anyone who reads it.
- Dave Gibbons
Play
Mood
Actors are hard to photograph because they never want to reveal who they are. You don't know if you're getting a character from a Chekhov play or a Polanski film. It depends what mood they're in.
- David Bailey
Magicians
Ethic
It is the unspoken ethic of all magicians to not reveal the secrets.
- David Copperfield
Prove
Least
One of the least appealing aspects of modern presidential candidates is that, to avoid saying anything that might prove to be an embarrassing, costly blunder, they cling to a rigid set of talking points that reveal as little as possible about what they really think and who they really are.
- David Horsey
Always
Inviting
A real conversation always contains an invitation. You are inviting another person to reveal herself or himself to you, to tell you who they are or what they want.
- David Whyte
Natural Disaster
Sometimes it takes a natural disaster to reveal a social disaster.
- Jim Wallis
Processes
Means
People reveal so much of their mental processes online, simply because the psychological effect of anonymity just means that a whole raft of inhibitions are left alone when people log on.
- Joanne Harris
Artist
Willing
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.
- John Cassavetes
Thought
Private
I thought if I wanted people to take me seriously, I needed to act serious and not reveal too much of my private life so people could seriously accept me in different things.
- John Corbett
Fate
Before
Seek not to know what must not be reveal, for joy only flows where fate is most concealed. A busy person would find their sorrows much more; if future fortunes were known before!

Character
His
To me, Shakespeare uses the supernatural elements to reveal his character's inner desires and fears.

Sometimes
Tonight
History keeps her secrets longer than most of us. But she has one secret that I will reveal to you tonight in the greatest confidence. Sometimes there are no winners at all. And sometimes nobody needs to lose.
- John le Carre
Pain
Consciousness
In this cry of pain the inner consciousness of the people seems to lay itself bare for an instant, and to reveal the mood of beings who feel their isolation in the face of a universe that wars on them with winds and seas.
- John Millington Synge
Character
May
It is not true that drink changes a man's character. It may reveal it more clearly.

- John Turturro
Love
Mirror
When you write about animals, of course, you are really writing about the people who love and live with them. Animals mirror and reveal us. Dogs in particular are often reflections of us, and what we need them to be.
- Jon Katz
Part
Very
I was one of those kids who kept trying on different skins in high school. I was very afraid to be myself around all of these kids, to really reveal any part of myself that was true, so I would try on different skins, try on different masks, hoping I'd hit on one that was cool or quirky or interesting enough that suddenly I would be OK.
- Jordan Gavaris
Through
Telling
I'm interested in telling a story about a gay man and what he's going through as an artist and as a lonely, single gay man. I want to reveal what I know about loneliness.
- Jordan Gavaris
Which

Sequencing - the careful striptease by which you reveal information to the reader - matters in an article, but it is absolutely essential to a book.
- Joshua Foer
Why
Abraham Lincoln
When I was a child I had a crush on Abraham Lincoln. Why I would choose to reveal this, I know not.

Great
His

- Benjamin Disraeli
Deal
Own
I own that it is a good deal of a mystery to me how judges, of all persons in the world, should put their faith in dicta. A brief experience on the bench was enough to reveal to me all sorts of cracks and crevices and loopholes in my own opinions when picked up a few months after delivery and reread with due contrition.
- Benjamin N. Cardozo
Other
Before
There is no cure for prions. They are a protein-based disease that, among other things, targets and transforms your brain. The symptoms reveal themselves differently in each host, and you might go months or you might go years before you realize you're infected.
- Benjamin Percy
Like
Spontaneously
I like going into a scene knowing that the script isn't quite finished, that there's something that isn't really going to reveal itself until something spontaneously occurs.

Other
Otherwise
As a filmmaker, you're looking to reveal something. When other people relate to it, it makes an otherwise lonely world a little less lonely.

Existence
Away
The most frightening pages of history are those which reveal how easily conditions making a desert of the human spirit may come into existence, with the oozings away of incentive and kindliness in our natural social structure.

Answers
About

Disconnect
Likely
Leaks are not the problem; they are the symptom. They reveal a disconnect between what people want and need to know and what they actually do know. The greater the secrecy, the more likely a leak.
- Heather Brooke
Proper
Manner
When conducted with proper preparation, and in a focused and professional manner, oversight of executive branch actions can reveal serious shortcomings by government officials and help prevent recurrence; the 'Waco hearings,' conducted over a two-week period in 1995, stand as an example of such an undertaking.
- Bob Barr
Sports
Character
Sports do not build character. They reveal it.
- Heywood Broun
Fact
Scheme
The most casual examination will reveal the fact that all the jokes about the horrible results of masculine cooking and sewing are written by men. It is all part of a great scheme of sex propaganda.

Feel
About
Singing is an incredible expression and something that is important to me, but where I feel comfortable with how much I reveal about myself is acting. I enjoy the characters, the costumes, the wigs and just being a chameleon.

Curtains

- J. B. Priestley
Romanticism
Primal
High Romanticism shows you nature in all its harsh and lovely metamorphoses. Flood, fire and quake fling us back to the primal struggle for survival and reveal our gross dependency on mammoth, still mysterious forces.
- Camille Paglia
Go
Enchanting
The enchanting charms of this sublime science reveal only to those who have the courage to go deeply into it.
- Carl Friedrich Gauss
Beginning
Like

- Carol Ann Duffy
Myself
Almost
If I ask my actors to bare themselves, to reveal themselves as almost naked, I have to bare myself, expose myself as well. That's what creates excitement.
- Jacques Audiard
Behind
Around
The Memorial Finder covers the gap. It tells you the specific panel and number where you can find an individual but begins to reveal the connections between the names themselves. As you move around the site itself, a smartphone app will reveal adjacencies as well as the stories behind the names.
- Jake Barton
Tell
About
I do think people do pick movies that reveal something about them that they aren't always aware of. If you ask them what kind of an actor they think they are, they'll probably tell you something different than what they've actually done.

Committee
Include
The Committee's review of a series of intelligence shortcomings, to include intelligence prior to 9/11 and the pre-war intelligence on Iraq, clearly reveal how vital a diverse intelligence workforce is to our national security.

Week
Been
But even after the first week, when Hart got out of the presidential race because of the Washington Post's threat to reveal a long-term relationship Hart had apparently been having with a prominent Washington woman, the media continued to embellish my past.
- Donna Rice
Faking
Attentive
A single moment spent in a business meeting or at a pub is more than enough to reveal the basic human truth that we are all faking it most of the time. We congratulate a rival on a triumph when actually we are choking on spite. We are cordial and attentive to crashing bores.
- Jeff Lindsay
Birthday
Free Time
Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that you have too much free time.
- Douglas Coupland
Love
Nature
God, to redeem us at the deepest portion of our nature - the urge to love and be loved - must reveal His nature in an incredible and impossible way. He must reveal it at a cross.

Argument
Meant
Argument is meant to reveal the truth, not to create it.

Love
Own
One of the things I love about acting is that it reveals a certain something about yourself, but it doesn't reveal your own personal story.
- Jessica Lange
Comparison
Laws
That is to say, nature's laws are causal; they reveal themselves by comparison and difference, and they operate at every multivariate space/time point.
- Edward Tufte
Help
Personally
You can't help but reveal your bias, and you can't but invest personally in any story that you tell.
- Edward Zwick
Away
Some
I like to reveal people with some of the niceties of social behavior stripped away and the moral, ethical, and political issues are revealed.
- Edward Zwick
I Think
Tries
I think shrinks are interesting to write about because you get to see what the character chooses to reveal, and what behaviors or stances the character tries out on the shrink that might not be part of the character's make-up outside of that room. It's an emotional test-kitchen.
- Jill Davis
Brought
Reveals
The Gospel of Thomas claims to be the secret sayings of Jesus. There are 114 of them, so it says many things, but the central message is that Jesus is the one who reveals the divine light that brought the universe into being, and that you and I also reveal that light.
