All the people who follow me on Twitter know my sense of humor. I sometimes forget the blogosphere will give it more weight than I intended.
Daily fantasy sports is neither victimless nor harmless, and it is clear that DraftKings and FanDuel are the leaders of a massive, multi-billion-dollar scheme intended to evade the law and fleece sports fans across the country.
Whatever you are by nature, keep to it; never desert your line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed.
I never intended for the Sex Pistols to be immeasurably successful.
Sometimes, words are twisted and don’t reach people in their intended way.
Even if the Constitution of the United States had intended to recognize slavery, as a constitutional state institution, such intended recognition would have failed of effect, and been legally void, because slavery then had no constitutional existence to be recognized.
I never intended to become a commercial filmmaker in the first place. What I do requires time and experimentation. Commercial work is often not the best way to get the most innovative work, because it’s about money and marketing. Although advertising is now embracing non-commercial people.
I never intended or planned on making a YouTube Channel. I always thought that it was meant for Bollywood movies, trailers, and songs.
Of all the projects I’ve ever done, ‘Stargate’ is the only one from the beginning intended to be a trilogy. We always wanted to do parts two and three, but the thinking was they didn’t want to do anything other than the TV series.
In our will, there lives something which is perpetually observing us inwardly. It is easy to look upon this inner spectator as something intended to be taken pictorially; the spiritual investigator knows it to be a reality, just as sense-perceptible objects are realities.
Everyone has his superstitions. One of mine has always been when I started to go anywhere, or to do anything, never to turn back or to stop until the thing intended was accomplished.
I was a part of the decision-making in the Pentagon, when I was the undersecretary for intelligence, to start CYBERCOM, both as a sub-unified command and under a dual-hat arrangement. That was never intended to be permanent in any event.
May 2 is traditionally the National Day of Prayer, a government-designated religious event intended to encourage people to ‘turn to God in prayer and meditation.’
If you take a long time over a record, you end up making something different from what you intended.
I didn’t intend to be an actress. It was one of many things I was interested in, and it just took off. I was an actress between the ages of 18 and 22, and it was a wonderful, fun thing to do, but it wasn’t what I intended long term. I parked acting a long time ago.
Film fixes a precise visual image in the viewer’s head. In fiction, you just hope you’re precise enough to convey the intended effect.
I play like I always used to, with no agenda. And, every once in a while, I will play something I really hadn’t thought about or even intended to play. And I’ll go, ‘Whoa! What was that?’
Difficulty empathising translates into a whole set of hurdles. You might be last person to get the point of a joke, which can leave you feeling like an outsider. You might end up saying something that another person finds hurtful or offensive, when that was the last thing you intended.
In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.
Music can be used against us as much as it can be used for us. Muzak can put a whole nation to sleep, whereas a lullaby is intended to put a child to sleep in a sweet way.
I’m still no good at ball-and-stick games. If I go play golf with the guys, it’s intended to be a joke.
Government was intended to suppress injustice, but its effect has been to embody and perpetuate it.
Trump’s relentless public humiliation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions was clearly intended to get him to resign.
I think most of the best new work is intended to have much more impact at once.
If we were meant to read for enjoyment, would God have created television? Read as it was intended – for exercise. The more you read, the more you expand your – what’s the word I’m looking for? – your stockpile of words. You must have a stockpile of words that you can pass along to your children for their stockpile.
The first epics were intended for recitation; the literary epic is meant to be read.
Schools are not intended to moralize a wicked world, but to impart knowledge and develop intelligence, with only two social aims in mind: prepare to take on one’s share in the world’s work, and perhaps in addition, lend a hand in improving society, after schooling is done.
I shall have less cause to regret the carrying my intended purpose into effect, foreseeing that you may immediately fill with advantage, the vacancy which will presently happen.
I never have an intended audience. I just write, you know.
I find it difficult to judge myself, but people say that I have become a bit more socially acceptable over the years in terms of my material; which apparently at the beginning – though I never really intended it to be – was man hating and now is just a bit more cuddly.
At one point I intended to write precursor and sequel novels, about the establishment of the Web and its next evolution, but I am very unlikely to now; they would take place in a different universe.
The original ‘Hobbit’ was never intended to have a sequel – Bilbo ‘remained very happy to the end of his days and those were extraordinarily long’: a sentence I find an almost insuperable obstacle to a satisfactory link.
Under the Paris agreement, every one of the 147 signatories issues what is called an ‘intended nationally determined contribution’ (INDC), which amounts to a promise that the nation will take certain actions to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by a certain date.
I never intended to become a run-of-the-mill person.
I had intended to have gone into Africa incognito. But the fact that a white man, even an American, was about to enter Africa was soon known all over Zanzibar.
Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.
I never intended to be a politician or office-seeker.
Software constraints are only confining if you use them for what they’re intended to be used for.
I have to admit that all of us creatively involved with ‘Commander’ absolutely intended to put the term ‘Madam President’ into the zeitgeist. I can’t deny it.
Some women succeed at being strong and also tender, but most of those who have intended to walk alone, making their own way, have lost their happiness.
DWYCK’ was only intended to be a B-side of ‘Take It Personal,’ because we had done a record with Nice & Smooth for their album, Ain’t a Damn Thing Changed, called ‘Down The Line.’ They were returning the favor with ‘DWYCK,’ being that we let them borrow the ‘Manifest’ instrumental.
Usually if I find a film that’s challenging, that I’m intrigued by, I want to watch it again knowing what the ending is. I found that with something like ‘The Godfather Part II.’ I think it took me three watches to fully experience it in the way it was intended.
I try never to focus on the radio, just find great songs, find emotion and just write the best songs you can. I think when you get fixated on trying to do something too accurate, it becomes more washed out and less what you intended it to be. So I think each time the challenge for me is to try and reinvent a little bit.
And people talk about the stimulus package and the jobs that it was supposed to create, it certainly didn’t have the intended effects that everybody was hoping for or that the president and administration certainly was hoping for. So I think it’s time to lay some new solutions on the table, some new ideas.
The whole frame of the Federal Constitution proves that the government which it creates was intended to be one of limited and specified powers.
After the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949, science fiction became a tool for popularizing scientific knowledge, and its main intended readers were children.
I think there’s always a line between what is parody in good fun in chanting and what is intended to belittle certain segments of society.
I know that there are people who believe that if they get to the stage where life is absolutely intolerable because of pain and indignity… they would like to end their life before nature intended, and we think they should have the choice to do so.
I never intended for my singles to completely mirror my life, but they really have.
Reconciliation is a special budget procedure to change entitlement and tax laws. It cannot be filibustered and requires only a simple majority in the Senate to be passed. It is primarily intended for deficit and mandatory spending reduction.
I don’t journal to ‘be productive.’ I don’t do it to find great ideas or to put down prose I can later publish. The pages aren’t intended for anyone but me. It’s the most cost-effective therapy I’ve ever found.
