I’ve long wanted to find a charitable cause to really get involved with and be passionate about. I get invited to a lot of charity events to sing, and I am happy to help and bring a source of entertainment, but I’m sort of disconnected from them.
How strange are the tricks of memory, which, often hazy as a dream about the most important events of a man’s life, religiously preserve the merest trifles.
Every beginning is only a sequel, after all, and the book of events is always open halfway through.
I think it’s the same to be an actress anywhere because the profession is about attitudes towards events – it is a process to try to understand life. I think this is the case for actors across the world.
What scares me? I kind of believe in ghosts. I believe they can wander around, so that scares me. But the stuff that really scares me are the catastrophic events like my husband or children or my family being harmed, or something like that.
I love the Cannes Film Festival. From the lavish parties and events to the red carpet attire, this star-studded week-long event is where I get a lot of inspiration for hair and fashion.
If you have distance from the events, then your story can work as an analogy or parable rather than its literal narrative.
I’ve been in situations where, in the midst of really hardcore events in my life, I made some ridiculous off-color joke that was in horrible taste, but made people laugh.
I’m not someone who dwells upon past events, taking the view that life is too short.
I think students should know something about religion as a historical phenomenon, in the same way that they should know something about socialism and humanism and the other great ideas that have shaped political philosophies and therefore the course of human events.
Events are the best teacher for us. You try to learn from people, there is always some bend to it.
Today, political events are nullified unless they’re on TV.
I think it’s a different experience for plus-size women in film and television to get clothes for events. It’s just not as welcoming for us to get cool clothes that are, like, equal in glamour, in style, to what, I am going to say, ‘small size’ co-stars get to wear.
We not only interpret the character of events… we may also interpret our interpretations.
For me, I used to be shy towards journalism because it wasn’t poetry. And then I realized that the events that I covered in essays that became journalism were actually great because they inspired me, and they became my muse.
To consider persons and events and situations only in the light of their effect upon myself is to live on the doorstep of hell.
All strange and terrible events are welcome, but comforts we despise.
I find the science behind major natural events almost more interesting than the way in which those same events wreak their effects on human society.
The Supreme Court ruled that disabled golfer Casey Martin has a legal right to ride in a golf cart between shots at PGA Tour events. Man, the next thing you know, they’re going to have some guy carry his clubs around for him.
Events at home, at work, in the street – these are the bases for a story.
‘The Wire’ is very realistic and based on real events.
Ask any successful person to look back over the events of his or her life, and chances are there’ll be a turning point of one kind or another. It doesn’t matter if that success has come on a ball field or in a boardroom, in a research laboratory or on a campaign trail – it can usually be traced to some pivotal moment.
I always believed in animal spirits. It’s not their existence that is new. It’s the fact that they are not random events, but actually replicate in-bred qualities of human nature which create those animal spirits.
It is madness to make fortune the mistress of events, because by herself she is nothing and is ruled by prudence.
While writing ‘City Boy,’ I relied mainly on my own memories. In particular, I was able to describe the effect of gay liberation on an individual life (mine) as events paralleled my own growing self-acceptance; in this case, the political truly was the personal.
In chess, you gotta come up with a strategy. I made a lot of plans in my life. ‘I’ma do this, I’ma do that, this is gonna happen, that’s gonna happen.’ And a lot of stuff don’t go as planned. You really gotta act on events as they unfold. That’s how I compare chess to life.
We call the fates of the Titanic and the Concordia – as well as those of the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia – ‘accidents.’ Foreseeing such undesirable events is what engineers are expected to do. However, design trade-offs leave technological systems open to failings once predicted, but later forgotten.
The invention of the printing press was one of the most important events in human history.
There is a time when we must firmly choose the course which we will follow or the endless drift of events will make the decision for us.
As an Aquarius, I was born an outsider. I’m awkward at social events. I can be social, but I feel like nobody truly understands who I am.
There is something universal in the theme of a man trying to save his family in the midst of the most terrible circumstances. It is not limited to Sierra Leone. This story could apply to any number of places where ordinary people have been caught up in political events beyond their control.
Political ignorance helps explain Americans’ perpetual disappointment with politicians generally, and presidents especially, to whom voters unrealistically attribute abilities to control events.
I like to create imaginary characters and events around a real historical situation. I want readers to feel: OK, this probably didn’t happen, but it might have.
My husband is stricken with dementia, and it’s a trick of his condition that events and people from his past are more real to him than what happened five minutes ago.
I like fiction and the kind of history that gives the grace and flavor of fiction to the past. No bloviation on current events, please. I can write that junk myself.
I live my life outside of the glitz and glamour of the red carpet events, and so you’ll never see me there. I’m never at parties.
Neither current events nor history show that the majority rule, or ever did rule.
I come from a newspaper background, so maybe I’m attuned to current events.
I’ve been producing documentaries on global warming for 20 years and have seen the early warnings of extreme weather events come true.
I want to thank the efforts of the American Public Health Association and its 200-plus partners who have organized events around the Nation that serve to raise everyone’s awareness of the need to improve public health.
Bad things happen. And the human brain is especially adept at making sure that we keep track of these events. This is an adaptive mechanism important for survival.
I think Bloomberg’s broad vision of the environment in New York City is something I agree with. I broadly stand with his vision for how to deal with climate change and prepare for future weather events.
Specifically with respect to the Inhumans, they are almost a mythological creation in and of themselves – the way they work, the way they operate, the fact that they’re royalty – and they’ve always been involved with a lot of the big cosmos events that Marvel has done.
The planet Earth, though not threatened with destruction by man-made global warming, is by no means indestructible. There are many unpredictable events within our solar system, and still more outside it, that could make Earth uninhabitable by humans.
Great events make me quiet and calm; it is only trifles that irritate my nerves.
Sporting events like the Olympics have developed and maintained a clear message of promoting gender equality as an essential criterion in the success of any international event.
Wherever I go – be it to school events, county fairs, town halls, or even the grocery store, my neighbors and constituents share the same serious concern. Prescription drug prices keep going up, and families across our district don’t know how they can afford them.
If one undertakes retrospection of the day’s events, one must do it regularly at the appointed hour, not fitfully, not doing it today, neglecting to do it tomorrow and the day after and then taking it up again on the fourth day. Such irregular practice is not conducive to the confirmation of the habit of retrospection.
We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it’s not the events that matter most to us, but rather, it’s how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.
The world is filled with great sporting events.
I love sporting events and popcorn and pizza and being outside, like at a baseball or football game. I love amusement parks, going to ride roller coasters.
I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams… Man… is above all the plaything of his memory.
What’s taking place during stress is actually much simpler than a transaction between stressful life events and you. There aren’t two parties involved in stress. There is only one – your own mind.
