I don’t have to spend a lot of time figuring out, ‘Gosh, I wonder how guys feel,’ because most every piece of art I look at invites me into that experience.
The value of a scientific publication goes beyond this simple benefit, of all relevant information appearing, unambiguously, in one place. It’s also a way to communicate your ideas to your scientific peers, and invite them to express an informed view.
I literally got a private invite for lunch with the Queen. There was just 10 of us. And I was absolutely petrified because you can’t take anyone with you, and no other sportspeople were there. There was the head of the military, and then the Queen sat next to me.
Not many skeletons left in my closet because I invite them to dance all over the front room!
I don’t get to see my kids at home, so I invite them on the sets… time management has become a very big problem.
By analogy, if we were to develop a soccer team, then we would not invite basketball and volleyball players to the try outs. We would invite soccer players to apply.
I was into the Mets because my Dad worked at IBM where he got free Mets tickets, so I was into the Mets… then I got to ‘Saturday Night Live’ where my boss has unbelievable N.Y. Yankees tickets, so he invites us to the games. I’m going to all the games, so I might as well root for the team I’m gonna go sit with.
If you disagree with the way a colleague did something, call him up, invite him out for a coffee, talk about it. But don’t do it publicly.
When I’m writing the poem, I feel like I have to close my eyes. I don’t mean literally, but you invite a kind of blindness, and that’s the birth of the poem.
He who avoids complaint invites happiness.
When I met my husband, I refused to invite him home for Passover because I was embarrassed my mother might serve all the catered dishes in the wrong order.
I was socially awkward for many years. I stuttered, stammered, talked rubbish. I never take up invites to parties, and I’ve been invited to very glamorous things, but I never go.
Friends didn’t believe me when I told them about him, so I’d invite them over on Saturdays to watch the monkey watch TV.
Love invites the Holy Ghost to be present to confirm truth. And the joy of learning divine truths creates love in the hearts of people who shared the experience of learning.
The sheer number of legendary narratives and historically verifiable incidents invites us to revise assumptions about the origins of biological and chemical warfare and its moral and technological constraints.
I myself am going to try to tone down some of my rhetoric, and I would invite my Democrat friends – and they are friends – to do likewise.
We say yes to every invite, and then we feel tired and anxious and stressed and overworked and burnt out.
The house I was born in in Somalia was right next to a big market. A lot of beggars or panhandlers would be in front of our house constantly, and my grandfather and grandmother would always invite them in to have food with us and have them take whatever was left over.
Don’t invite me to a surprise birthday party. I don’t have room for that secret. I’ve got enough real secrets I have to keep: dark, life-destroying secrets.
Companies often visit my office, or invite me to theirs, to brief me on new products, Web sites, or software before they are released – usually a few weeks or days ahead of time. I don’t review most of these products.
Lists, and lists of lists, invite many questions and one that crops up here is: what makes a children’s book last? When it’s books for very young children, this is a matter that is almost entirely at the behest of adults – parents, teachers, critics, librarians.
I only ever met Ronaldinho once, at a charity event in Rio. Once every year, he stages a game and invites different players and personalities to play and raise money for his charity.
The LPGA is basically corporate America’s dinner party, and they can invite whomever they want. They’re not ready for people getting up and making declarations. The bottom line is corporate America is pretty homophobic.
In any great art, you create a world, and you invite people into that world, and hopefully, it’s fleshed out enough and you’ve explained it well enough.
The Afghans I met were some of the nicest and most honorable people I’ve ever encountered. There is a code called ‘Pashtunwali,’ so if someone invites you into their village, every last man will fight to protect your life. I was impressed by that.
The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility.
I invite a lot of my friends to some of the performances that I do locally, and some of them know that I’m involved with music, but they’re not quite sure how. And so it’s kind of fun to play golf with a lot of my friends and then invite them to hear me sing once in a while.
We left ‘Byker Grove,’ had a short recording career and suddenly it finished. The invites to premieres dried up and overnight things stopped. We realised very quickly how fickle this business is. Thinking you’ve lost it all makes you appreciate it a lot more and it sticks with you.
I want to see more girls coming in to the sport. There were actually a lot in Canada when I was riding there, but we can let girls know that they can be jockeys. And if they can’t be jockeys, why can’t they be owners or trainers? We need to invite girls in.
Why invite you to dinner if I can’t cook?
Mr. Speaker, less than 10 percent of our Nation’s children walk or ride their bicycles to school, and too many schools continue to invite fast-food vendors into their cafeterias.
When I invite a woman to dinner, I expect her to look at my face. That’s the price she has to pay.
I like to take a long time over breakfast, and I can’t bear to talk. If a guest is a breakfast talker it’s very important to invite another so they can talk to each other. Otherwise they spoil the newspaper reading and everything else.
The best compliment is when other parents invite your children to come over, or stay overnight. Afterward, I hear how well-behaved and respectful they were. I think that’s one of the most wonderful compliments you can get as a parent.
Prince used to call me up 3am in the morning and invite me to hear some of his new songs.
Gluten is so ridiculous. Don’t invite me to a dinner with someone who is gluten-free. I ruin the party.
We try to preach innovation. We provide resources; we invite speakers in from universities to talk about new ideas.
I think games are a good medium for approaching any subject, particularly difficult ones, because by their very nature, they are abstract, invite interaction and allow us to confront and question things… particularly rules that we may blindly follow.
The worst is, a friend will invite me over, and she’ll say, ‘Hey, you’ve been working so hard. I’ll make you dinner. It’ll be great.’ I’m like, ‘That’s so sweet! Thank you!’ And I’ll come over, and she’s got hardwood samples laid out! She’s using me!
If somebody is saying that I should not compete because I’m a man, I don’t know what to say to that. And if somebody is saying that I had it easy, I would invite them to join the military and enter Indiana politics in 2010 as a gay person. See how easy they find it.
Anything you build on a large scale or with intense passion invites chaos.
Invite your enemies to sit down and join you. One small thing you say might give them food for though, and you will learn.
You can’t visit readers where you think they are. You have to invite them home to where you are and try to lure them into your universe. That’s the art of storytelling.
The Iranians have shot down drones. They tried to destroy the Saudi oil fields. They tried to storm our embassy. So, when my Democratic friends say we need appeasement, well appeasement hasn’t worked. And I think that we’ve learned, with respect to Iran, that weakness invites the wolves.
Invite the best and brightest to compete for a grand prize to come up with designs, including new zoning, building codes and so forth, for New Orleans that could make it safe from water, and let the state and city pick the plan that works best for Louisiana.

What is the effect of unlimited coinage of silver in this country? and I invite your attention to this particularly, because it is a question of vital importance.
Daring to make films of any kind and thus invite the possibility of ridicule was an internal battle of mine for many years as I worked on the screenplay for what would become ‘Dear White People’ beginning at the end of George W. Bush’s second term.
Our government… teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.
I would not vote for the mayor. It’s not just because he didn’t invite me to dinner, but because on my way into town from the airport there were such enormous potholes.
