In 2008, I was in a London park when I came across a fledgling crow that had fallen from the top of an oak tree.

Ismail Kadare

I first came across the script for 'Macbeth' between the ages of 11 and 12; it was the first book that shook my life.

While everyone's watching on TV, they need to be helping at the same time.

Klaus Baader

The acceleration of the past several months has been quite stunning, so it's not surprising to get a bit of a pause. After an unusually warm December, January was unusually cold and snowy. That may have affected production.

Todd Rundgren

I used to have sort of mixed feelings about a producer whose only skills seemed to be going into the studio, schmoozing the artists and making them feel good. I can see now that in some cases, that's what you have to do because that's the only way you're going to get them to produce.

David Byrne

Some artists and indie musicians see Spotify fairly positively - as a way of getting noticed, of getting your music out there where folks can hear it risk-free.

Oh man, I love what the South brings as far as the soul, and I really have noticed from even the early days of listening to OutKast and Goodie Mob that Atlanta and the South has a diverse sound to it. You have bounce music. You have soulful musicians. You have artists with vocals who try to do different things.

Imelda May

Imelda May

American audiences are great. They get what I am doing, but as my band will tell you, nowhere tops the Irish audience. They are just brilliant. They are very open, but the Americans and Spanish come a close second.

Idina Menzel

When I lived in London when I did 'Wicked' there, everyone told me the audiences might be much more reserved, but I found it was completely the opposite.

Towards the end of summer 2013, when school ended, I decided to re-download all of my social media channels and make videos again. The next day, I woke up and had 9,000 followers. I did the same thing the next day and woke up with 54,000 followers.

We have worked with our channel partners on these changes, and most of them were driven by the channel.

Mark McKinnon

Consumers can choose from hundreds of channels today, including dozens for kids. At a time of dwindling resources, we don't need to be subsidizing PBS. It's time for Big Bird the mooch to compete with 'Dora the Explorer' and 'Bob the Builder.'

You always have to go through the proper permitting channels and we still have a pretty long way to go, but we think it's going as smoothly as it possibly can.

Hideo Kojima

In Japan, there are storm channels on either side of the main roads. There were so many times when I'd fall into these ditches because I was lost in stories as I was walking along. It's still dangerous for me to drive. I've driven into the gate outside my house numerous times.

William Kirby

The greater concerns in China and Taiwan are on the political side, not on the economic side.

William Henry Bragg

The chemist, whose science is immediately concerned with the combinations of atoms, has rarely found it necessary to discuss their shapes, and gives them no particular forms in his diagrams. That does not mean that the shapes are unimportant, but rather that the older methods could not define them.

Vikram Seth

The point really is that a writer tends to write a book that he or she tends to write. It's as simple as that. Of course, it's important to make a living and all that, but the main impulse as far as I'm concerned - and I'm sure as other writers are concerned - is to tell a story that I feel impelled by.

Billy Graham

What really matters is how God sees me. He isn't concerned with labels; he is concerned about the state of man's soul.

Billy Graham

Seemingly, man has learned to live without God, preoccupied and indifferent toward Him and concerned only about material security and pleasure.

David A. Bednar

We can begin to become more diligent and concerned at home by telling the people we love that we love them. Such expressions do not need to be flowery or lengthy. We simply should sincerely and frequently express love.

Own every note I sing and sell it. Make a connection to the audience. That's what it comes down to, you know?

My writing and my paintings do not have a direct connection in my mind. But I am sure they influence each other in the measure that everything we do is linked to whatever we are, which includes whatever we have done or are doing.

David Byrne

I encourage people not to be passive consumers of music and of culture in general. And feeling like, yeah, you can enjoy the products of professionals, but that doesn't mean you don't have to completely give up the reins and give up every connection to music or whatever it happens to be.

Common

I was in the heart and soul of Baltimore. I definitely felt a connection to the people. They're really hard-working people that want to have a better life. And I saw the struggle that exists there.

Ashley Tisdale

I love keeping a connection with everyone I've worked with.

Jeff Ravencraft

The association models specification is a key differentiator from other wireless technologies. By providing a method for first-time product association, the specification helps ensure a secure connection between products from any vendor that complies with the Certified Wireless USB certification requirements. Certified Wireless USB supports the same ease-of-use and plug-and-play features consumers love and know from wired USB.

William Wirt

Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance.

Donatella Versace

I'm a feminist. I want to fight, but I don't see many people with this desire to fight for something. Women don't help each other, especially in fashion.

Dennis Ross

Force is not inevitable. Diplomacy is still the desired means. Pressure is an element of the means.

C. S. Lewis

Unsatisfied desire is in itself more desirable than any other satisfaction.

Bernard Berenson

Rebecca Wagner

That would be a part of any energy policy with regard to pipeline supply that I would propose. It will include conservation.

Mike Davis

We just didn't play with a whole lot of intensity, with that passion and energy we needed to play with to win the game. We didn't really execute, we didn't keep our poise.

Ron Wilson

We just didn't have the energy to get anything going. It was a struggle all night. We weren't generating any shots, especially in the third period.

Julian Sensley

We just didn't have any energy left. We couldn't execute anything we were trying to do there at the end.

Jack Rose

We just didn't have any energy in the game. We had a lot of guys that didn't practice during the week (because of injuries) that played in the game. And we just had no fire. I'm real disappointed in that.

Paula Smith

We hadn't done 36 holes in one day since the fall so that was a little different. The team seemed a little tired but they proved me wrong and had lots of energy to focus on each shot.

Isaac Mayer Wise

It flourished with the Saracens, and suffered in the obscure and fanatical days of the Middle Ages.

Gin Wigmore

I'm very open with people, very warm, when I meet them. My fans in particular find that strange and refreshing.

Gene Ween

Most of our fans seem to be very intelligent people who don't stand out too much, but they're still total freaks. I like that - they're smart and sadistic, which I think is a reflection at us.

Donald Trump

In real life, if I were firing you, I'd tell you what a great job you did, how fantastic you are, and how you can do better someplace else. If somebody steals, that's different, but generally speaking, you want to let them down as lightly as possible. It's not a very pleasant thing. I don't like firing people.

Viswanathan Anand

There is technology where you can watch the match live online and also on TV. If people understood the game, I'm sure we would have a lot of chess fans by now.

I was fortunate enough to meet Sophie Dahl. And I'm slightly in love with Scarlett Johansson: she's just stunning. And she's bright, which is incredibly sexy.

Reese Witherspoon

I think, like every working parent, I sometimes feel that there are not enough hours in the day. But overall, I'm very fortunate that my job has a lot of flexibility. I spend a lot of time with the kids, just around the house.

Dan Boyd

That was indicative of the trust he had in his principals. I was really fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him.

Mike Rutter

That was a very physical game. Amarillo is a very good team, and we're fortunate to get way with a victory.

Skip Harlicka

That was a special time in our lives in a number of ways. I was very fortunate to be in that group and to have played for Frank McGuire.

Dave Bristow

That was a good bust. We were very fortunate that someone saw this.

Danielle Renfrew

We were so fortunate to shoot in Columbia. We were just overwhelmed by the support offered by the community.

George Crooks

We have a good group of hard-working kids. Hopefully when the time comes, their weight will be scattered out like it was this year. With only 17 kids, we were very fortunate to be able to spread them out to make a team.

David McGinnis

Usually this time of the year, the weather is real hit or miss. We've been real fortunate most of the time, getting all the games in, and it looks good this week.

Suranand Vejjajiva

The PAD can hold their own forum to speak to the public.

Jay Bender

I think the idea that it is a limited public forum is the one that would give them the most traction.

P. J. O'Rourke

Politics is - once in a while - a forum for serious debate about political philosophy.

Kurt Opsahl

A tech mandate requiring backdoors in the Internet endangers the privacy of innocent people, stifles innovation, and risks the Internet as a forum for free and open expression,

It's just to talk again. It was obviously a good forum the first time to hear from the farmers, but a lot has happened since then.

Richard Lester

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Paul Kane

They want a seat at the table and they have a forum at which to have a seat.

John Rocker

Yanis Varoufakis

I was told once by a leftwing scholar that as a Marxist, you have to do two things: always be optimistic and always have a view about everything. That advice still sounds good to me.

Thierry Henry

I've always loved New York; I've been visiting New York since 1996. People don't look at you like, 'What are you doing? What are you wearing?' There is also that thing that when people know that you have worked hard to get something, people have that respect for that here. You worked hard - good for you.

Iggy Azalea

I feel like 'Work' was a really good song for people to get to know me, as it's obviously biographical. With 'Bounce,' I wanted to make sure people know there's a fun side to me as well as the somber and serious one.

Ice T

I'm in a very good place to make records. Needing to make money off music is very dangerous.

Idina Menzel

I used to be someone that needed nine hours of sleep; otherwise, I didn't think I was going to sound good when I sang, and I was very disciplined and anal about my preparation. When you become a parent, there just isn't that time, you know?

Idina Menzel

I made a good living for a teenager. And I had to learn all different kinds of music - jazz, swing, Motown, pop - and that inspired what kind of music I started to write.

Understanding truth is the primary objective of science, not doing good for the world.

Michael told me once that the reason he's so involved with his own kids is because he'll never have to be lonely.

I don't watch TV. In my spare time, if I have any, I want to make music.

Chet Faker

My high school career counsellor said I shouldn't pursue music as a career.

Ellie Goulding

People always try to find my agenda, but I don't really have one. It's safe to say that I make pop, but I think that I'm doing important music, too. I've just always done what I wanted to do.

Keith Jones

The outpouring of support has been a blessing.

Paul Tagliabue

I don't know where I'm going to do it. I'm just thinking about it. Just for that reason, that by then, people will have a whole new set of needs. The outpouring from the public is just fantastic. We just have to keep it going.

Terry Hartle

We are witnessing an unprecedented outpouring of support to enroll students. We've never seen anything like this before.

We've had an outpouring of support; we've talked to parishioners, to the pastors.

Despite all odds we have emerged as one people and one country.

Yossi Vardi

In the end, I think that people that are not willing to take the risk to fail are not true entrepreneurs.

Yancy Butler

Imagine if it happened to you: All of a sudden you find this thing on your wrist and people are telling you it has powers. I would be a little skeptical myself.

Ian Mckellen

I don't think many people will re-read 'The Da Vinci Code.'

People who are truly horrible are often the most interesting people in the room. You look at them and just say, 'Why?'

Irwin Thomas

I was born into a world where a lot of people who came to the house were performers.

Irwin Rose

I don't have any hobbies. You know, I'm very embarrassed when people ask me what are my hobbies; I don't have any hobbies. I mean, it's just enough to keep up with the things I'm trying to solve.

Isiah Whitlock, Jr.

Usually, when you're working or you're on set, everything is very guarded. At parties, people have a tendency to relax.

Imani Hakim

When people say, 'If you could do anything else, what would you do?' I would be an actress. That's something that I would do - I can't see myself doing anything else.

Johnny Depp

That would really send my popularity to the depths.

Mia Wasikowska

Popularity is very inconsistent. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. It usually just comes in waves.

Ricki-Lee Coulter

I'd been listening to some old '70s disco, soul stuff, and I thought, 'Let's go into the studio and do something different. Let's do something that's super unashamedly pop and fun and danceable.' 'Trouble' is what we did. It's something that wrote itself.

Seth Shostak

Typically, only about 2 percent of the American populace tunes in to PBS's 'Nova' series - the most successful science show on the tube. 'Survivor' and 'X Factor' get twice the ratings.

Roger Short

Typically, we provide at least one, two or three (candidates) that are very strong.

Rachel Johnson

Our parents provided us with the essentials, then got on with their own lives. Which makes me realise that my parents were brilliant, not for what they did, but more for what they didn't do.

Tom Zilla

I thought it provided a lot of justification for making the improvements.

Dawn Medley

We provide them with different options. It's not just a cookie-cutter decision.

Jon Davis

We provide everything students need: knowledge, equipment; we've got it all.

Thomas Kelly

We provided about a quarter of the community's blood.

Abdullah Gul

We are ready to provide every sort of help,

Fred Becker

I think it's always important to think about what the other side is going to do before you do something or how the other side is going to react, and he will be able to provide that to our thought process.

Joseph Kabila

Whatever happens, if there are summits we will be there, provided it takes place after the funeral,
