I live in places where, although I don't take public stands, I'm surrounded by liberals, and I've spent a lot of time in this country talking to people who have very different views than the people I live around and trying to see kind of what's in common beneath those conversations.

Anand Giridharadas

Why do we take pleasure in gruesome death, neatly packaged as a puzzle to which we may find a satisfactory solution through clues - or if we are not clever enough, have it revealed by the all-powerful tale-teller at the end of the book? It is something to do with being reduced to, and comforted by, playing by the rules.

A. S. Byatt

Touch is more important than arm strength. You want to really allow the receiver to run underneath the throw. It'll give you a little margin for error if you undershoot it a bit.

Aaron Rodgers

With 'Girls'... I feel like there's an impulse to try to make it look better or neater or more perfect, and when I watch theater, television, movies, it's always the imperfection I'm always more attracted to.

Adam Driver

As a writer, I find it very satisfying when a lyric suddenly ties together more neatly than you expected it to. But for the listener, hearing a good lyric is not generally as exciting as hearing a great beat or a great riff or a great melody or even a distinctive singing voice for the first time.

Adam Schlesinger

Less than the dust beneath thy chariot wheel, less than the weed that grows beside thy door.

Adela Florence Nicolson

Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar, where are you now? Who lies beneath your spell?

Adela Florence Nicolson

I am very petite and feel that structured clothes look very flattering on me. That's why I always pick up clothes which are neat, pretty, have lace or made of soft fabrics.

Aditi Rao Hydari

There is a lot of rubbish written about toilet humour - people saying it is childish and pretending it is beneath them - but there is no doubting the effectiveness of a really good willy gag.

Adrian Edmondson

A lot of the dysfunction that exists underneath the surface of a lot of big business corporations is really profound.

Adrian Pasdar

Lingerie is one of the most important pieces of your wardrobe. You can have a wardrobe malfunction if you don't choose the right thing to wear underneath!

Adriana Lima

I feel like everything's got to be neat and everything's got to be right before I put on my performance, so I brush my hair.

Adrien Broner

Neither a life of anarchy nor one beneath a despot should you praise; to all that lies in the middle a god has given excellence.

Aeschylus

It is no use painting the foot of the tree white, the strength of the bark cries out from beneath the paint.

Aime Cesaire

I'm all about big, bold flavours! Roasts! Cheese! But I do like a neat work surface.

Ainsley Harriott

It's not unusual to find big political shifts that take place beneath the surface before they're visible above the surface.

Al Gore

I'm used to American actors who have a movie career thinking television acting is beneath them.

Alan Ball

We're building what I call 'software apartheid.' We're in the process of creating a divided society: those who can use technology on one side, and those who can't on the other. And it happens to divide neatly along economic lines.

Alan Cooper

Historically, war journalists have embedded themselves with one side, which means the greatest threat comes from the clearly delineated enemy of that side.

Alan Huffman

It's not a pretty face, I grant you. But underneath its flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.

Alan Jay Lerner

Imgur is a data-driven company, and our community is our most important signal. But you can't perfectly plot humans neatly into a chart. It takes someone with instincts and empathy to truly understand the community and represent them in all of the company decisions.
