I’ve endured humiliating experiences trying to get a cab in the various cities I’ve visited and lived in. Available taxis – as indicated by their roof lights – locked their doors with embarrassingly loud clicks as I approached. Or they’ve just ignored my hail altogether.
Beware of missing chances; otherwise it may be altogether too late some day.
Just before I auditioned for ‘The X Factor,’ there was nothing in my diary at all. I had no shows; nothing was happening. It was make-or-break time for me, and I had to consider doing another career altogether.
To recognize negativism as a force of creation is to give up the creative standpoint altogether.
A true artist is expected to be all that is noble-minded, and this is not altogether a mistake; on the other hand, however, in what a mean way are critics allowed to pounce upon us.

In ‘Requiem for a Dream,’ the director Darren Aronofsky’s adaptation of Hubert Selby Jr.’s lower-depths novel, Jared Leto has lost so much weight, he looks like another person altogether.
Create a world in which these things do or do not exist, or in which they are extended in some way. Test reality against this fiction. The reader will recognize the world that you’re talking about, even though it may be another one altogether.
I have no consistency, except in politics; and that probably arises from my indifference to the subject altogether.
It is easy for me to love myself, but for ladies to do it is another question altogether.

If any person examines by the microscope that part towards the extremity of the spider’s body from whence its thread proceeds, he will observe the spot to be, as it were, surrounded by five several protuberances or risings, each ending in a point and altogether forming a kind of enclosure.
Positive, healthy, loving relationships in your twenties… I don’t know if anyone would disagree with it: I think they’re the exception, not the norm. People are either playing house really aggressively because they’re scared of what an uncertain time it is, or they’re avoiding commitment altogether.
Every serious nuclear accident involves operator error, so you want to eliminate the operator altogether.
The death of Mrs. Lincoln was a serious loss to her husband and children. Abraham’s sister Sarah was only eleven years old, and the tasks and cares of the little household were altogether too heavy for her years and experience.
I have been wounded altogether twenty times; eleven of these wounds were received at Northfield.
Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.
It’s one thing to read about how makeup is applied. It’s another thing altogether to watch it being put on.

For voters whose work schedule does not allow them to wait in line to vote, the denial of vote by mail and early voting denies the opportunity to vote altogether.
We never thought ‘Boyhood’ was ever gonna become Oscar-considered. Our shooting budget was $2.8m for 12 years. Altogether. I didn’t know if anyone would see it or appreciate it.
Well, no. I believe that it’s not at all impossible that some of the performances that I’ve heard so far by some pianists may be superior to my own playing because those are two totally different acts altogether.
Baghdad is altogether built of chrome-yellow kiln-dried bricks.
According to our estimates, the Hungarians working in the U.K. altogether pay more contributions and taxes than the benefits that they get. So we belong to the world of the fair working people.
I have a little studio in Chinatown, and I sometimes go there and rearrange my brushes. But I would have to stop acting altogether in order to become a painter. At the moment, I’m still interested and active as an actor and director. Besides, I rather think acting and painting are all part of the same creative urge.
When we build our own colonies, we can do them in near-Earth vicinity, because people are going to want to come back to Earth. Very few people – for a long time, anyway – are going to want to abandon Earth altogether.
Some people are so famous that the legends about them and the cultural aftermath of their life altogether obscure the real human being.

The legal right of a taxpayer to decrease the amount of what otherwise would be his taxes, or altogether avoid them, by means which the law permits, cannot be doubted.
We need to aim to get rid of food banks altogether, and replace charitable intervention with a fairer, more equal society.
It is not altogether wrong to say that there is no such thing as a bad photograph – only less interesting, less relevant, less mysterious ones.
I think no matter what you do you go through stages when you play. There was a number of times when I didn’t do very well or was tired. It was too much to combine school and tennis altogether. Parents need to step in and say, take a little time off, do something fun.
I did about 2000 covers altogether, for all sorts of books – from Shakespeare to James Bond – and I always had the idea that I must give 100%, no matter who the author was.
If we can contain and monitor animal viruses at an earlier stage – when they’re first entering human populations, preferably before they’ve had a chance to become human-adapted, certainly before they’ve had a chance to spread – we can head off pandemics altogether.
I think to have done ‘Titanic’ would have been a tortuous experience altogether. I feel good about where my life is, now. I feel free and joyous and happy and more liberated than I have ever been.
Plays are definitely the most difficult of them all. They are entirely a different category altogether. I don’t have the courage to try out plays.
It used to be a given that the talent and the talent agencies would line up around the broadcast pitch season first and then take whatever was still available out to cable. I hate to say it, but it’s just not going down that way anymore. There are things that are bypassing the broadcast networks altogether.
It is not altogether shyness that now makes me unsuccessful in company. Sometimes it is a state of mind that is three parts meditation, that will not free the thoughts until their attendant trains are prepared to follow them.
The problem with when you look at eBay is that you can put a pair of Jordans next to a frying pan. It’s an altogether different experience compared to having some editorial around it and well-curated experience.
Altogether apart from that, it would be a disgrace to us to make this bargain with Germany at the expense of France, a disgrace from which the good name of this country would never recover.
Philosophy is altogether less pure now. It’s been impurified by science and social science and history.
Many people bypass search engines altogether and still find what they’re looking for online. These Internet surfers are using direct navigation.
Libraries are at a cultural crossroads. Some proffer that libraries as we know them may go away altogether, ironic victims of the information age where Google has subverted Dewey decimal and researchers can access anything on a handheld device. Who needs to venture deep into the stacks when answers are but a click away?
In the misfortunes of our best friends we always find something not altogether displeasing to us.
It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.
A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.
My first film was a Malayalam film where I played a small character and then my big debut happened in Kannada, which is also my mother tongue, in 2016, ‘U-Turn’ and since then my life has taken a different turn altogether.
Unlike Conrad or Nabokov, I didn’t have circumstances which would have coerced me out of my native tongue altogether.
Reading time is precious. Don’t waste it. Reading bad books, or books that are wrong for a certain time in your life, can dangerously turn you off the activity altogether.
