And when my wife showed up, He was like, 'You recognize her now?'

You also have to study the right subjects.

Though all its strings were broken, its beauty let it claim a quarter of my one - bedroom.

- Amity Shlaes

Thought Opera

In preparing my thesis, I have had the pleasure of collecting testimonies from colleagues such as Placido Domingo but also from singing teachers and musicologists. The entire course of study has confirmed what I already thought, that the value and meaning of opera singing, at the beginning of the third millennium, remain intact.

- Andrea Bocelli

Voice Hours

You have to have great passion, because to sing operatic music requires lots of work. I study for at least two hours every day. The voice is like an instrument and requires constant exercise.

Beginning Idea

I study orbital dynamics as a hobby. My idea of a good time is sitting down and drawing on that knowledge to imagine a space mission from beginning to end, getting as many details right as I can.

- Andy Weir

Father Considered

Film study was considered disgraceful by my father.

- Ang Lee

Note Adequate

I'm not a policy oriented person. I'm constrained to what I study. But educational policy has not yet taken adequate note of the whole child. Kids are not just their IQ or standardized test scores. It matters whether or not they show up, how hard they work.

Doing Through

When I first worked in Zimbabwe, I was a complete novice. I was doing a study, and I continued to learn more and more through the years. And where I have learned most is in the village, from the communities.

Cut About

I can make 10 jackets of the same colour, same two pockets and same length, that will look like 10 completely different jackets when you put them on. It's about the way they are cut - it makes them look and feel completely different and move differently, and that's a never-ending study. People who wear my clothes will know exactly what I mean.

- Ann Demeulemeester

Love Book

I often feel that I have a split personality. I love more than anything to be in my study writing, but when it's time to do a book tour, I love that extroverted part, too - talking to people, reading, traveling, going out into the world.

- Ann Hood

Always Wanted

Theater was something that I always wanted to study.

Data Been

Traditionally, when you talk to people who have Parkinson's or Alzheimer's, they'll talk about how they're in five or six studies, and they've been sequenced by each study.

Tell Percent

Some About

I'm a natural clown, I suppose, in writing, and one has to accept that; I can't do anything about it. I have written one or two novels which are not specifically funny. I wrote a study of Shakespeare which was not intended to be funny, but some people regard it as such.

- Anthony Burgess

Overcome Another

It takes a certain type of man to become a boxer, to fight for a living. To be able to have the confidence to hit another man, to control your fears. You must overcome the psychical aspect and believe in the art, the discipline of the sport. You need to study. You need to be smart.

- Anthony Joshua

Think Say

Acting is the only medium were people think they can just stand up and do it because they can say lines, but that is not so much the case. You have to study styles and techniques.

America does not need gorgeous halls and concert rooms for its musical development, but music schools with competent teachers, and many, very many, free scholarships for talented young disciples who are unable to pay the expense of study.

- Anton Seidl

Like Players

I like to study everything: the way to be dangerous when you are attacking; what the players should do when you don't have the ball; where they should be. The tactics you tell the players to follow come from all this study.

Historians Very

There are one or two very good women military historians who use imagination, great study and research; they can put themselves in the boots of the soldier.

Sometimes I Think

I think about and study people. I think I make people uneasy sometimes by being so curious as to why they do what they do. I find myself thinking about this fairly obsessively, and I can't stop until I've found an answer.

- Antonya Nelson

Learn Discovered

Columbia University, where I went to study in 1993, insisted its undergraduates learn a foreign language, so I discovered French.

- Aravind Adiga

Technical Aspects

I feel like I'm sort of afraid to study too much because I feel like I work as I go, but I want to study the classics and also the technical aspects of things. I'm always looking to understand more.

- Ari Graynor

College Here

I didn't want to study theater or go to school in the city. I wanted the all-American 'Here's your quad' college experience.

More Very

When you study postpartum depression, there is a very clear understanding that in communities where you see more support, there is less depression.

Very However

College Play

I went to college to play football, not to study it.

Think Still

We often think that when we have completed our study of one we know all about two, because 'two' is 'one and one.' We forget that we still have to make a study of 'and.'

- Arthur Eddington

Smoke Deal

Being a vegetarian Buddhist would be a bit harsh to deal with in the kitchen, so I'm a Taoist, I study martial arts, and I don't drink or smoke.

- Arthur Potts Dawson

Own Hoped

By all means, let us study the great writers of the past for their own sakes, but let us study them for our guidance: that we, in our turn, having (it is to be hoped) something to say in our span of time, say it worthily, not dwindling out the large utterance of Shakespeare or of Burke.

- Arthur Quiller-Couch

Play Through

I expressed myself through hyperactivity and disruption. I wanted to play rather than study.

- Ashraf Barhom

Art College

After Newport, I worked in television for a while, and then I went to The Royal College Of Art and did a master's degree. I really did study quite a lot!

Mathematics Begins

The study of mathematics, like the Nile, begins in minuteness but ends in magnificence.

- Charles Caleb Colton

Know Deal

You have to study a great deal to know a little.

- Charles de Secondat

Exercise Activity

Someone will write a resolution that says, 'I want to exercise more,' or 'I want to lose 15 pounds' - which is great, that's a great goal to have - but every study tells us that if you pose things in abstract, goal-related terms, it's much less likely that you will accomplish it than if you structure it as an actual activity.

- Charles Duhigg
