Prejudices are not easily got rid of as an old coat which is no longer thought of.
Whenever nature leaves a hole in a person’s mind, she generally plasters it over with a thick coat of self-conceit.
Discipline is knowing what you’re supposed to do and doing it as best you can… On third down and short yardage, the Raiders don’t jump offside. That’s discipline – not a coat and tie, not a clean shave.
My staples are a beautiful pair of black pants, a lightweight coat, a great black heel, and a black cardigan. Everything else is just a topping on my fashion sundae.
In England, rain was thin and cold, and made you hunch up inside your coat, walking home from the bus stop. In Jamaica, it was wide and thick and invited you to step into it, and see how wet you could get, and be thrilled that it was warmer than the sea and warmer than your skin; it was abandon.
I was the first journalist allowed on a hunting boat during harp seal season in almost 15 years. Around the late 1970s, white coat pups became the poster child for the anti-fur movement, and by the ’80s, the media was lambasting the hunters for killing them.
When I went for my medical school interview, I had an old paperback of ‘Henderson the Rain King’ in the pocket of my coat. I was wearing the best clothes I had – a pair of cords and a sport coat – but when I got to the office, all the other interviewees were lined up in their black suits.

I bought a trench coat from Dubai worth 495 dirham.

I don’t think I am someone who sits on someone else’s coat tails while others do worthwhile work.
I think it’s fun to look at people with big diamonds. I see them in my audience all the time, with the fur coat, a woman whose hand is always out front, or the two fingers are on the cheek to show her diamond. I don’t have anything against that.
All these bacteria that coat our skin and live in our intestines, they fend off bad bacteria. They protect us. And you can’t even digest your food without the bacteria that are in your gut. They have enzymes and proteins that allow you to metabolize foods you eat.
I dressed up as a veterinarian for a Halloween costume party. I had the lab coat. I got a couple of stuffed animals for patients and put bandages on them.
Since I am known as a ‘rich’ person, I feel I have to tip at least $5 each time I check my coat. On top of that, I would have to wear a very expensive coat, and it would have to be insured. Added up, without a topcoat I save over $20,000 a year.
I’ve never really spent money on or known how to wear coats, so I’ll ruin outfits by putting a coat on.
My dad used to say, ‘Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn’t influence your intelligence.’
And the Russians certainly don’t have it. If a woman shows up in a fur coat, I just assume she’s a crook. And that’s me, the nice American. The assumption that you can’t make money honestly is a killer.
Acting is kind of gay. It makes you soft. You got all these people combing your hair and putting a coat over your shoulders when you’re cold. I don’t want a coat over my shoulders!
Could Yosef be considered a Man Repeller even though he’s a man? I’d love to get my hands on that techni-colored dream coat! Feels very Matthew Williamson to me.

I do believe at the end of the night when you’re with your family, the character gets hung up on the door like a coat, and is there to be taken on the next morning.

When I’m photographing, I look for the personal style with which something is worn – sometimes even how an umbrella is carried or how a coat is held closed.
When I got started, I was a sideshow. At my first Consumer Electronics Show, in 1977 in Chicago, people came from all over the floor to see the ‘lady programmer.’ They had me dressed in a turquoise lab coat with my name embroidered on the pocket.
Well, now that I have a baby, I’m that person who’s looking for all the parks. I’m also the person who lost their coat because I was juggling so many items. So I’m that person: I lost my coat, I lost my scarf, and it’s cold now.
Whether a woman’s running for office or she’s supporting her husband who’s running for office and she gets criticised for wearing open-toed shoes or for the colour of her coat, there’s just a lot of history that you bear if you are a woman who puts herself out in the political arena.
He that respects himself is safe from others. He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce.
Zegna has the perfect weight fabric. There are a lot of designers who make clothes that are a little too heavy. They feel heavy. They almost feel like a coat.

Confession is good for the soul only in the sense that a tweed coat is good for dandruff – it is a palliative rather than a remedy.
People called me all kinds of names. I had to put on a coat of armor and not care. You also learn in this industry that not everyone is going to love you. They will hate on you.
One great thing about going to a fashion event in the morning, especially in February in New York, is that the other attendees are dressed less like models themselves. A winter coat, it turns out, is a great equalizer.
I did not want to go out at 5:30 in the morning with my stocking cap and my navy pea coat on and shoot lines and grades for the rest of my life.
Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.
If I decide to make a coat red in the show, it’s not just red, I think: is it communist red? Is it cherry cordial? Is it ruby red? Or is it apple red? Or the big red balloon red?
I love the simple poetry of theater, where you can stand in a spotlight on a stage and wrap a coat around you, and say, ‘It was 1860 and it was winter…’
When you live in a city where you’re always in and out of a car or a building, I feel it’s… better to treat a heavier, tweedier sport coat almost as you would outerwear.
There’s an art to making something look good when, on a hanger, it’s just a black coat.
But what has been pretty good about the coronaviruses in general is they keep their structural pieces very similar. What do I mean by that? There’s certain – the outer coat, the envelope, and the inside part of the virus has stayed very constant.
As an artist, I want it to be so simple that anyone can understand it. No matter what age you are, you’re going to feel it because it’s real. I don’t like to sugar coat. There’s not too many artists that can tell stories and be vulnerable on the mic.
I always try and keep a jacket from everything I do. I’ve still got my original coat from ‘Snatch’ and my jacket from ‘This Is England’.
When my grandfather was a journalist for the Detroit Tigers, he dressed the part. I mention it always to our local media: sport coat, tie, very professional and a nice cap on his head. And they also developed very close friendships with the players and staff traveling.
