Book
Unexpected
Being a magician taught me how powerful the element of surprise can be. In each book, I've tried to work that in - an unexpected twist in a story that reveals an insight, a counter intuitive study that turns your beliefs upside-down.
- Adam Grant
Learn
Figure
I'm extremely fascinated by marriage. I want to study marriage. I want to learn about it. I want to know it. I want to figure out whether or not I want to do it. I'm not just going to leap into it, because that's not good for anybody.
- Adam Levine

- Akira Suzuki
My Life
Arrested

- Aksel Hennie

- Alana Stewart
I Think
Scientist
I think I set myself on a course to become a scientist around about the time that Carl Sagan's 'Cosmos' series was on television, and there really was no going back for me at that point, and then I went on to study space science and then get my Ph.D., then go aboard and work in the European Space Agency.
- Alastair Reynolds
Dress
Needs
I wanted to go out of fashion, to study medicine. I thought, you know, who needs fashion? How important is it if you wear a red dress and an orange jacket? It's not, really.
- Alber Elbaz
Wanting
Familiarity
This familiarity with a respected physician and my appreciation of his work, or the tragedy I experienced with the long, tormented agony and death of my mother might have influenced me in wanting to study medicine. It was not the case.
- Albert Claude

Books
The proper study of mankind is books.
- Aldous Huxley
Here
I Remember
I remember during my lifetime I would meet women, and it was almost like God would say to me, 'Now, this woman here is not the one you are going to end up with, but she is going to be a lot like this woman; look at this woman, study this woman.' And when my wife showed up, He was like, 'You recognize her now?'
- Alec Baldwin
Been
Assumes
The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.
- Aleister Crowley
Art
Think
I never wanted to study art. And I don't think you need to study art if you are an artist. It's even dangerous to go to school. You need to do whatever you want, as you want.

College
Other
Education is the key to the future: You've heard it a million times, and it's not wrong. Educated people have higher wages and lower unemployment rates, and better-educated countries grow faster and innovate more than other countries. But going to college is not enough. You also have to study the right subjects.
- Alex Tabarrok
College
Magic
Our obsessive focus on college schooling has blinded us to basic truths. College is a place, not a magic formula. It matters what subjects students study, and subsidies should focus on the subjects that matter the most - not to the students, but to everyone else.
- Alex Tabarrok
Work
Kind
I had the kind of family where I was told it was my job to study. They would work out the finances.
- Alexander Acosta

The study of social progress is today not less needed in literature than is the analysis of the human heart.
- Alfred de Vigny

The study of tavern history often brings to light much evidence of sad domestic changes. Many a cherished and beautiful home, rich in annals of family prosperity and private hospitality, ended its days as a tavern.
- Alice Morse Earle
Drop
Youngest
The youngest children have a great capacity for empathy and altruism. There's a recent study that shows even 14-month-olds will climb across a bunch of cushions and go across a room to give you a pen if you drop one.
- Alison Gopnik
Nature
Want
One of the best ways of understanding human nature is to study children. After all, if we want understand who we are, we should find out how we got to be that way.
- Alison Gopnik
Envy
German
Living in Manhattan opened me to whole new sets of things to envy, study, gather and imagine stealing. A full-size 1809 German harp, beautifully painted with three goddesses, covered in a pea-green coat of great silvery refinement: mine for $180. Though all its strings were broken, its beauty let it claim a quarter of my one - bedroom.
- Allan Gurganus

Other

May
University
Now, a recent study from cardiologists at the University of Maryland, has shown that laughter may have a beneficial effect on the heart.
- Allen Klein
Nine
Sings

- Alma Gluck
Time
Torah
I study Torah all the time.
- Amar'e Stoudemire
Parent
Firmly
With demands for special education or standardized test prep being shouted in their ears, public schools can't always hear a parent when he says: 'I want my child to be able to write contracts in Spanish,' or, 'I want my child to shake hands firmly,' or, 'I want my child to study statistics and accounting, not calculus.'
- Amity Shlaes
Russian
Aspects
We study, as Americans, the extreme aspects of repression under the Stalinist era. We're focused on them. The vast majority of Russian citizens, it was a much softer type of being disconcerted.
- Amor Towles
Me
Well
Well, what is acting but the study of human behavior? And that's so fascinating to me.
- Amy Smart
Love
Would
I would love to study guitar or trumpet.
- Amy Winehouse
Love
Studying
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
- Anatole France
New
Economic Policy

- Andra Day
Closely
Tape
Anytime you fight a champion, you got to watch the tape closely and study him closely.
- Andre Ward
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.
- Andrea Bocelli
Love
Note
Music is a prerogative of those who are willing to spend time to study it, understand and love it, well aware of the fact that one life is not enough to improve just one single note of what has already been written and performed.
- Andrea Bocelli
Work
Always
I am a working person. I always work, study or do research for my novel. I even work on Sunday.
- Andrea Hirata
Play
Some
I like to play football, read some books, study.
- Andrew Luck
Jazz
Year
I studied classical music for a year. Then, I studied jazz for a year at the New School, and then I got kicked out. You had to go to your class, so I don't know if that counts as studying. I didn't study jazz. I was supposed to.
- Andrew Wyatt
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.
- Angela Duckworth
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.
- Ann Cotton
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.
- Anna Diop
Education
Which
A masculine education cannot spare from professional study and the necessary acquisition of languages, the time and attention which I have bestowed on the compositions of my countrymen.
- Anna Seward
Read
Greek
I do not read the ancient languages, but I am beginning to study Greek.
- Anne Rice
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. That's just fat in the system. Just have a single data set that then you can share. You can make the entire system more efficient.
- Anne Wojcicki
Tell
Percent
Did you know that there was a study in 1961 that found that 90 percent of physicians wouldn't tell you if you were diagnosed with cancer?
- Anne Wojcicki
Intentions
Esoteric
I am interested in the study of music and the discipline of music and the experience of music and music as a esoteric mechanism to continue my real intentions.
- Anthony Braxton
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.
- Anthony Mackie
Very
Rooms
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.
- Antonio Conte
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.
- Antony Beevor
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.
- Ari Graynor
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.
- Ariel Gore
Means
Making
In making a speech one must study three points: first, the means of producing persuasion; second, the language; third the proper arrangement of the various parts of the speech.
- Aristotle
Very
However
I'm very grateful I went to school to study law, particularly tax law, which really is interesting to me and very useful to me now with my position. Music, however, will always be my number one passion; I like how it connects everyone.
- Armin van Buuren
College
Play
I went to college to play football, not to study it.
- Art Donovan
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!
- Asif Kapadia
Art
Surrounded
I wanted to study film at an art school - I loved the idea of being surrounded by designers and artists. We were encouraged to be experimental.
- Asif Kapadia
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.
