Masterful politicians and effective agents of change tend to succeed by singling out and making salient some aspect of a nation's self-understanding, sparking a sense of recognition - and ultimately moving voters in their favor. Obama made it into an art form.

Cass Sunstein

My dad would always get into fights over parking spaces. He would do this all the time.

Adam F. Goldberg

My first joke was about a company called Five Star Parking that was all over Philadelphia: 'Who's reviewing parking lots?'

Adam McKay

I'm a very firm believer in karma, and put it this way: I get a lot of good parking spots.

Al Jourgensen

I know some people who live this much more insulated life in Los Angeles, where their feet never touch public ground. They walk out of their bathroom, their living room, they get into their garage, their car, and the next thing you know, they're at the valet parking of the restaurant or the store or the office. They're in a bubble the whole time.

Alec Baldwin

The biggest downside of L.A. is the traffic and parking tickets. They turn me into Michael Douglas in 'Falling Down.'

Ali Wong

The only people I really hate are parking attendants.

Alison Jackson

I've always had something about parking lots at night. They have a special appeal I think many people can relate to.

Andrew W.K.

I bring my bike to work, and I make laps around our parking lot on my lunch break.

Angela Kinsey

I get parking tickets all the time.

Anne Wojcicki

I hope that Los Altos is one of the first cities to have self-driving cars, and if that's true, well, awesome, because there's a lot of parking lots that we could get rid of and use for parks. That would be amazing!

Anne Wojcicki

Holiday Shores' ambition far exceeds its members' recording budget. The band's boyish vocal harmonies wash in and out with the tide, and reverb radiates from the guitars like heat off a sun-baked parking lot.

Anthony Fantano

I was a fan of baseball growing up. We played baseball; I used to play in an A&P parking lot. It wasn't always easy to find a good baseball field to play in.

Antoine Fuqua

I just see that there's a lot that I can do as far as sparking change and helping amplify the voices of marginalized people.

Aquaria

I've fallen asleep at red lights before. Not like passed out, but like I've put the parking break on and reclined my seat and taken a nap.

Ari Shaffir

My very first kiss happened when I was 6, underneath some desks during 'nap time', but my first real kiss happened when I was 15 in the parking lot at a Mexican food restaurant.

Armie Hammer

It's hard to find parking space in Delhi and the traffic sucks there.

Badshah

I'm not a person who has people tell me things in parking garages.

Bill Dedman

Too many children are being parked in substandard day care with workers who make little more than a parking attendant.

Bill Nelson

The President, in talking about freedom and democracy, is sparking a wave of very positive democratic sentiment that might help us override both Islamic fundamentalism that has formed in that region, and also some of the hatred for our policies of invading Iraq.

Bill Richardson

The best under-the-radar rivalry is Dodgers-Giants. I had no idea how deep that one was until I moved to California... that one goes waaaaaaaaay back, and both sides absolutely detest each other. Fights in the stands, fights in the parking lot, the whole thing. It's every bit as bitter as Yankees-Red Sox without nearly the same hype.

Bill Simmons
