Aaron Ramsey
To me, the flag represents the greatest ideals of the United States of America, not the worst, but different people look at different things and have different feelings about it. That's what freedom of expression is all about.
Aaron Rodgers
Not all paintings are abstract; they're not all Jackson Pollock. There's value in a photograph of a man alone on a boat at sea, and there is value in painting of a man alone on a boat at sea. In the painting, the painting has more freedom to express an idea, more latitude in being able to elicit certain emotion.
Aaron Sorkin
My way of expression is full of complications and mystery because that's my perception of life.
Abbas Kiarostami
Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi is just great. You get yourself in a hot bath to soften up your skin and then use this, and it really works. Plus, it's so easy to do, and you don't have to leave the house, so whenever you want to put sandals on, you don't have to worry about going to the salon.

Abbie Cornish

Abhishek Banerjee
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
Abraham Lincoln
To the best of my judgment, I have labored for, and not against, the Union. As I have not felt, so I have not expressed any harsh sentiment towards our Southern brethren. I have constantly declared, as I really believed, the only difference between them and us is the difference of circumstances.
I can express all my views on the slavery question by quotations from Henry Clay.
Why was the amendment, expressly declaring the right of the people to exclude slavery, voted down? Plainly enough now, the adoption of it would have spoiled the niche for the Dred Scott decision.
It is a great honor for me to be able to express my sincere gratitude to the Nobel Foundation.
When you're doing a radio show, you can express yourself.
It is hard to imagine an area in which Congress has more express constitutional authority to act than in protecting the right of minorities to vote.
In our age of individualism, we see computers as ways through which we can express our individuality. But the truth is that the computers are really good at spotting the very opposite. The computers can see how similar we are, and they then have the ability to agglomerate us together into groups that have the same behaviours.
The football field was a place where I could express myself and just be me. Play the game as well as you can and that's what you're judged on. Not the colour of your skin, or your beliefs, or the conversation you have around racism.
Perhaps gaining power doesn't cause people to act like takers. It simply creates the opportunity for people who think like takers to express themselves.

We're more into expressing ourselves than making radio hits.
I was afraid to express myself for a while.
The kids that are different and out there and expressive and are bold with those choices, those are the people that grow up to be people we all want to hang out with, that become celebrities or become really successful in what they do because they believe in who they are.
My art, like my acting, is a profound expression of poetic license.
I don't really discriminate with my art. To me, it's my art, and it's to be expressed through whichever medium is there, whether it's treading the boards in the theater, on the small-screen TV, or on the large screen. I love theater, and it's definitely something I would love to do.
I'm just looking to explore every medium to express my talent, but I think mostly it's going to be a focus on features.
My life guided me to express my full potential.
I write songs, and there is a definite need to express myself through my music.
'Grateful' is a small word to express my gratitude, as God has blessed me with so many opportunities to restart my life.

With writing, I can express myself, really, and share my ideas and just let my thoughts flow out.
The first proper mystery novel that I read was 'Murder On the Orient Express' with a gaunt David Niven and a cherubic Peter Ustinov on the cover. 'Orient Express,' you'll recall, is the one where everyone did it, which delighted me no end, and I was immediately hooked.
I've always been a secret locked-room fanatic. I read my first one when I was about ten or 11, Agatha Christie's 'Murder on the Orient Express,' with David Niven and Peter Ustinov on the cover.
I'm committed to an honest expression, not necessarily a performance.
Painting, music, photography, and visual art have been creative forms of expression for me for decades.
Many scholars are not used to perceiving natural knowledge expressed in mythological language. If the study of fossils was not mentioned by Aristotle or Thucydides, and it wasn't, then it just didn't exist for many classicists and ancient historians.
The truest expression of a people is in its dances and its music. Bodies never lie.
I learned that music should be fun and should be a way to express yourself - that there aren't really any rules.
For me, it is OK as long as I can breathe, as long as my heart is pumping, as long as I can express myself.
Chinese citizens have never had the right to really express their opinions; in the constitution it says you can, but in the real world it is more dangerous. In the west people think it's a right they're born with. Here it's a right given by the government, and one that's not really practised.
To protect the right of expression is the central part of an artist's activity... In China many essential rights are lacking, and I wanted to remind people of this.
Widespread state control over art and culture has left no room for freedom of expression in the country. For more than 60 years, anyone with a dissenting opinion has been suppressed. Chinese art is merely a product: it avoids any meaningful engagement. There is no larger context. Its only purpose is to charm viewers with its ambiguity.
