Scott Adams

Populist promises to reverse every tough decision are n

Peter Bergen
I think Rush have always had this reputation, particularly to non-fans, of being an ultra-serious and cerebral group when, in fact, the reverse is true. We don’t take ourselves seriously at all. Sure, we take our music seriously, but that’s altogether different.
Alex Lifeson
Me and my step-dad shared a $500 Chevy Celebrity, a 1983 Dodge Ram truck, and an old Ford Ranger truck – it was a piece of junk. I hated that thing. It fell apart. It didn’t always go in reverse. So I drove in a circle or I would just get somebody to sit in the thing and I would push it backward.

Marc Ostrofsky
Every time we give a musician the advice to give away the music and sell the T-shirt, we’re saying, ‘Don’t make your living in this more elevated way.

Jaron Lanier

Ben Wallace
What you would call a ‘lead,’ I’ve always considered a supporting part, and what people would call ‘supporting parts,’ I’ve considered leads.

On one hand, we know that everything happens for a reason, and there are no mistakes or coincidences.

The answer is: both.

Mabel
The no-first-use policy for nuclear weapons was a well thought out stand… We don’t intend to reverse it.

Rudolf Steiner

Ben Horowitz
It’s like, ‘How can I reverse engineer what it takes to gain followers on a platform?’ And I’m curious about how it works. And I’m the same way with people. I’m curious about what makes them tick.

Dambisa Moyo
After 40, you want to reverse the ageing process. That’s complicated for me because I spent so many years wanting to be older.
Sam Rockwell
Mr. Obama still has time to reverse course. A great deal depends on it. To fail on health care yet again might well be the ‘Waterloo’ Republicans dream of.

Alan Thicke
For some reason, it seems like pop writers, it’s like they just get worse or something over time. And then you’re really jealous of movie directors whose careers seem to grow and they’ll be 70 years old and still doing these incredible jobs. I’m going to reverse that, I hope.
James Mercer
Beneath the Sugar Sky’ is an homage to the portal fantasies of my childhood: it is the portal running in reverse.
Seanan McGuire
There can’t be reverse racism against a group that is not at a disadvantage.
Justin Simien
People’s attitude seems to be that if you don’t have a television, you’re not connected to reality – somehow you’re not in reality. It’s quite interesting, because I suspect that possibly it’s the reverse.
Jodhi May
I’ve discovered as an author that the process of writing a novel becomes harder over time, not easier. I used to think the reverse must be true, that it would be like any task, and the more I practiced, the more adept I’d become.
Tawni O’Dell
Our science and advisory board think that nuclear lamin dysfunction is a side-effect of DNA damage and mutations, rather than the cause. We are currently trying to mend nuclear dysfunction using Human Telomerase reverse transcriptase.

P. J. O’Rourke
If I had one singular galvanizing ambition in life, I would try to reverse engineer toward it, but I don’t.
Chelsea Clinton

Richard Cordray
Remember, until the 1970s, the spread of democracy has always been accompanied by the decline of inequality. The more democratic our societies have been, the more equal they have been becoming.

Ivan Krastev
In a strange way, I expected Russia to become more like America since the Soviet Union collapsed, but the reverse is true. America has become more like Russia: a kleptocratic society.

David Lynch
Sports passion is deeply, infamously territorial: our city-state is better than your city-state because our city-state’s team beat your city-state’s team. My attachment to the Sonics is approximately the reverse of this.

Tig Notaro
Long before folks fretted the demise of ‘quantitative easing,’ I fretted its existence. It proved the reverse of its image, an antistimulus, and we’ve done okay not because of it, but despite it.
Kenneth Fisher
I was away from the game for a few years, and it feels good to be back. I’m bowling quite well and also getting the ball to reverse swing. During the time off, I worked a lot on getting the ball to reverse swing; now it’s working well for me.

George Pelecanos
I’m sort of a reverse Method actor. In my personal life, I become my characters. After ‘One Tree Hill’, I started dressing in Converse and ripped jeans and hoodies. On ‘Awkward’, it manifests in how I speak.
Ashley Rickards
Al Qaeda’s leaders seek to reverse what they claim are corrupt Islamic practices bookended by the Mongol invasions in 1256 and Ataturk’s ending the caliphate in 1924. Theirs is a fight to turn Islam’s clock back to the time of Prophet Muhammad’s original followers.

The way I was parented did affect my parenting – probably in the reverse. My dad was pretty strict, and the next generation probably wants to be less strict.
Alan Thicke
The family only represents one aspect, however important an aspect, of a human being’s functions and activities. A life is beautiful and ideal or the reverse, only when we have taken into our consideration the social as well as the family relationship.
Havelock Ellis
We go along, without a fixed itinerary, yet at the same time with an end (what end?) in mind, and with the aim of reaching the end. A search for the end, a dread of the end: the obverse and the reverse of the same act.
Octavio Paz
Because the fees associated with a reverse mortgage are high, such loans make sense only for borrowers who expect to live in their home for a number of years.
Charles Duhigg
Basically, if reverse engineering is banned, then a lot of the open source community is doomed to fail.
Jon Johansen
I always recommend, if you can, to patent or protect whatever your idea is. If you can’t, you have to make your best judgment. Sometimes people don’t get anywhere because they sit on something, so afraid to reveal it. And yet, in the reverse, sometimes if you expose something too widely, you can risk losing it.
Lori Greiner
Ask a woman’s advice, and whatever she advises, Do the very reverse and you’re sure to be wise.
Thomas Moore
A really good comedy, I think, is played as if it was real, and it’s the circumstances that make it amusing. And I think that the – the inverse or the reverse is true for drama.
Kenneth Lonergan
It’s happening: Lou Dobbs’ dream come true and Silicon Valley’s worst nightmare. We’re already seeing the reverse brain drain as smart immigrants take their U.S. educations and experience building companies and creating technology back to their home countries.
Sarah Lacy
I think that there are some people on the so-called Left who might say we have to circle our wagons around the first African American president, and to me that is racism in reverse because his policies are actually still the racist policies of empire.
Cindy Sheehan
I did enjoy and take pride in my work as an actress, yet I’m bemused by suppositions that my life since has somehow been less fulfilling. That certainly is not the case. Rather the reverse.
Grace Kelly
I suffer from reverse body dysmorphia. When I look in the mirror I see somebody slimmer. It’s quite a shock to see myself on TV, especially on widescreen.
Deborah Meaden
The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.
Margaret Young
If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in France, you’re in a good place and you’re in a bad place at the same time. You have to weigh yourself every day, and you have to have an alarm number. When you get to that number, you have to start putting it in reverse.
Salma Hayek
If something is successful with the audience, it’s automatically suspect; the reverse is to say that not to reach audiences is the greatest compliment an artist can receive!
Carlisle Floyd
Normally, I could hit hard enough, as anyone who studie

Normally, I could hit hard enough, as anyone who studied my fights might have known. But the impression was that I was essentially defensive, the very reverse of a killer, the prize fighter who read books, even Shakespeare.
Gene Tunney
We have to reenergize our economy so it works for all Americans; invest in our schools so that all our children have the tools they need to compete and succeed in life; rebuild and enhance our infrastructure; and we must reduce carbon pollution and reverse climate change.
Ned Lamont
You can say I had a severe case of ‘Roots’ envy. I wanted to be like Alex Haley, and I wanted to be able to… do my family tree back to the slave ship and then reverse the Middle Passage, as I like to put it, and find the tribe or ethnic group that I was from in Africa.
Henry Louis Gates
Reverse swing is a great asset if it happens.
Andrew Flintoff
I printed a list of Irish names from the Internet and my husband, Dave, saw Finley on the list. I really liked it but didn’t want to scare Dave off with my enthusiasm. So I used a little reverse psychology and let him think it was his idea.
