Once you lose your parents, you get this numbness, this feeling of having to really be able to connect yourself with someone. I depended on my brothers for that connection, but to have that feeling of being taken care of... I lost it when my parents passed away.

It is impossible to be taken seriously in shorts. No one has ever cared about anything said by a man in shorts.

The science of booby-trapping has taken a good deal of the fun out of following hot on the enemy's heels.

If a poem is each time new, then it is necessarily an act of discovery, a chance taken, a chance that may lead to fulfillment or disaster.

A. R. Ammons

Time Men Chance

That's a wonderful change that's taken place, and so most poetry today is published, if not directly by the person, certainly by the enterprise of the poet himself, working with his friends.

The journey that I have undertaken, meeting people from all walks of life and learning from them, has been my biggest achievement.

Aamir Khan

I still feel like I've got a lot of great football in front of me and the way that I've taken care of myself better the last few years. I think is going to put me in position to be able to play really well late in my 30s and even in my early 40s, possibly, if they'd like to keep me around that long and I can still play a little bit.

Aaron Rodgers

Great Car Years

It's just this little comedy about this group of guys, and their local hangout is a pool hall, and it's starting to get taken over by this big corporate, evil kind of guy. And it's just about them trying to save the day and their little pool hall in the process of it all. It's called 'Think Tank.'

Aaron Ruell

When a movie is being rolled out, the studio publicists and all our individual publicists get together and come up with bullet points and talking points - 'Make sure you stay away from this,' and 'Don't say that quite that way, because that quote can be taken out of context,' and that kind of thing.

Aaron Sorkin

You live for those pressure moments. Through an international career, you have ups and downs, but you always feel you are going to be tested in moments like that. It has taken me years to feel comfortable and to feel like I have good composure in those situations.

AB de Villiers

Mom Men Good

I really think that I don't mind people sleeping during my films, because I know that some very good films might prepare you for sleeping or falling asleep or snoozing. It's not to be taken badly at all. This is something I really mean.

Abbas Kiarostami

It's quite rare that you find models taken care of backstage.

I've taken so many kids out of Pittsburgh and onto the great white way in New York City right into a Broadway show.

People say that slaves were taken from Africa. This is not true: People were taken from Africa, among them healers and priests, and were made into slaves.

There's no one on this earth taken less seriously in a leadership context than a young woman - everything is against you.

Every threat needs to be taken as: 'This is the one; this is the real threat.' That's how we focus on things in counterterrorism. You never know which terrorist threat is the real one. And you treat every one as though this could be it; this could be the big attack.

Abigail Spanberger

You Which Very

On January 3, 2019, I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. It was the third time in my life of public service that I had taken such an oath, but the words were just as profound to me as the first time I spoke them.

What responsible gun owner thinks everyone and anyone should have access to a firearm without a little bit of precaution taken to make sure that those who have a history of violent harm can't buy a firearm?

Abigail Spanberger

History Without Wit

In America, we have always taken it as an article of faith that we 'battle' cancer; we attack it with knives, we poison it with chemotherapy or we blast it with radiation. If we are fortunate, we 'beat' the cancer. If not, we are posthumously praised for having 'succumbed after a long battle.'

Norway has a great history of women's football, but it's harder now. We've stopped talking about development, and other countries have overtaken us.

Once you lose your parents, you get this numbness, this feeling of having to really be able to connect yourself with someone. I depended on my brothers for that connection, but to have that feeling of being taken care of... I lost it when my parents passed away.

Each of the bracelets I wear is from a long trip I've taken. One is from Nicaragua. One is from Nepal. One is from Guatemala. One is from Laos. They don't come off. I walk into a lot of very high-level boardrooms now, and I present to distinguished conferences, but these bracelets remind me of the places I've been and the people I've met.

Adam Braun

Promos have always been something that I've taken very, very seriously.

Adam Cole

When I was a kid, the Patriots were my team, but I didn't really care, you know what I mean? I got taken to a game once by a friend and it was the coldest I've ever been in my life. It was torture.

Adam Granduciel

I knew that it was my only shot to be taken seriously in the recording industry, because it's fast and broad.

Adam Lambert

The biggest risk I've ever taken is going on American Idol and trying to be myself. I wasn't going to try too hard to conform, and I knew that it could possibly not work out.

Adam Lambert

It's hilarious to me that by writing an obscene fake children's book I am mistaken for a parenting expert.

Adam Mansbach

'The Pushcart War' is presented as a history of a conflict that has not yet taken place; in each edition of the book, the date on which the hostilities commenced is nudged forward.

Adam Mansbach

Although every step must be taken to protect against a chemical or biological attack in America, our nation would survive the use of those weapons as we did when anthrax was mailed to our Capitol and other targets.

Adam Schiff

Unless action is taken soon - unless we can display the same vision of that earlier period - we will lose the treasure of California's open space and environmental beauty.

Adam Schiff

People said: 'You're too big to play football,' but I kept playing and it just happened that people have caught on to me and taken to me. The nicest thing I get from it is that I can be myself and people seem to like it.

Adebayo Akinfenwa

My vanity was flattered by having been mistaken for our revered sovereign. I ordered a banquet to be got ready for the following evening, under the trees before my house, and invited the whole town.

Adelbert von Chamisso

I always feel blessed because so many people have taken me under their wings, nurtured me, and made me a part of their vision.

Aditi Rao Hydari

The best decisions are taken quickly and well. You can prepare yourself, have all aspects of the game thought through, but the one who shines on the pitch is the one with intuition.

Adolfo Cambiaso

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

My life has taken on a different course. I've got a responsibility now not just as a husband but as a father.

Adrian Pasdar

I believe love just happens once. You can be mistaken, you can think you are in love, but after a while you discover that you're really not. Real love is different.

Adriana Lima

Looking back at all of my defeats, the only real punishment that I've taken in this sport was against Maidana. I got a fractured jaw.

Adrien Broner

The Romans had chosen Pergamon to be the capital of their new province. But by 88 B.C., most of western Asia was allied with King Mithradates, who had taken over the royal palace in Pergamon for his own headquarters.

Adrienne Mayor

I think the key to the whole appeal of Amazons is the egalitarian society. There was once a time and place where equality was taken for granted - it was logical and necessary - and I think most people can get the message that if it happened once, it could happen again.

Adrienne Mayor

The worker can unionize, go out on strike; mothers are divided from each other in homes, tied to their children by compassionate bonds; our wildcat strikes have most often taken the form of physical or mental breakdown.

Adrienne Rich

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.

I might be the only one who's never taken a dime from my son.

I could probably do a documentary on acting classes; I've taken so many.

Ahna O'Reilly

We travelled a lot, went on tour with my dad a lot. But there was never a moment when any of us didn't feel loved, or taken care of.

Aimee Osbourne

It's quite true to say that if you work with marvellous fresh ingredients, the simplest dish is taken to another level.

Ainsley Harriott

I have always said that you have to fail. If you do not fail, it means you have never taken enough risks.

Ajay Piramal

I had written a book. For various reasons, the publishing industry had decided that my book was going to be 'important.' The novel had taken me 12-and-a-half years to write, and after being with the book for so long, I had no real perspective on the merits or demerits of what I had written. I hoped it was good, but feared that it wasn't.

Akhil Sharma

There's a perception in the industry that if the actor is not working or has taken a timeout, he or she has left the film circuit.

Akshaye Khanna

When every piece of furniture and your underwear are taken by the bank, when you lose your house in Florida, in New York, in Amsterdam and L.A., when your wife is dying and your son abandons you, you don't feel very good.
