Dear London, British fashion is a serious business. The British fashion industry is worth £21bn to the U.K. economy and employs 819,000 people across the country. With your help, we would like to see these numbers rise for the good of our industry, our talented designers, and our reputation worldwide.
You have doubtless heard, my dear mother, the misfortune of Madame de Chartres, whose child is born dead. But I would rather have even that, terrible as it is, than be as I am without hope of any children.
I love Jen Meyer – she’s a dear friend, and Tabitha Simmons as well.
While I will give my best for the benefit of Telangana, I will continue to remain a dear Tamil sister to all in Tamil Nadu.
It’s that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so ‘don’t fuss, dear; get on with it.’
The only relationships I wish to honour and keep are with my family and my dear loved ones.
Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.
I want to use my platform to highlight and shed light on issues that are dear to me.
My dear, did you ever stop to think what a wonderful bunker you would make?
I am not writing to try and convert people to fundamental Christianity. I am just trying to share my experience, strength and hope, that someone who is as messed up and neurotic and scarred and scared can be fully accepted by our dear Lord, no questions asked.
An independent state does not pay too dear a price for its independence in accepting the sufferings of war when it cannot avoid them; a state which has lost its independence may find at least some compensation in the fact that its protector procures for it peace with its neighbours.
My dear Mama, you are definitely the hen who hatched a famous duck.
My dear brother Barack Obama has a certain fear of free black men. As a young brother who grows up in a white context, brilliant African father, he’s always had to fear being a white man with black skin. All he has known culturally is white. He has a certain rootlessness, a deracination.
All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.
For decades, allies have counted on the U.S. to step up to the plate to work with them to protect the shared values we hold dear. As we face numerous international challenges, both old and new, we need to put more faith and investment in our international and diplomatic institutions, not weaken them.
I got the pilot for ‘Scrubs’ sent to me, and in the margin for Dr. Cox, it said ‘a John McGinley type.’ So when I went in to audition, I said to Billy Lawrence, who’s a dear friend of mine, I said, ‘Well, I’m John McGinley.’
Please, please, please, my dear competition. We can beat each other and fight each other as much as we want and argue, but do not predict how a system really works when you really don’t know and don’t want to know. Either be better informed, or don’t do it.
My self-respect is very dear to me.
Those who join the Carmelite Order are not lost to their near and dear ones, but have been won for them, because it is our vocation to intercede to God for everyone.
Both ‘Dear Zindagi’ and ‘Hichki’ did not come easily to me, I had to do multiple rounds of auditions.
We decided to have the baby at home because we wanted it to be a natural birth, and it turns out that it was 30 hours of natural. Eight hours of pushing – that’s the part that men don’t understand. Women go, ‘Oh, dear, oh, dear God, eight hours of pushing?’ And the men are like, ‘Okay, eight hours of pushing.’
The workers have nothing to gain from this war, but they stand to lose everything that is dear to them.
You hear a song like ‘Wait For It,’ you hear a song like ‘Dear Theodosia’ – if you get one of those songs in a musical – one – it’s worth dropping everything to sing that one song.
We’re a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It’s unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear .
Mohan No Masalo’ is a play very dear to me.
The first LP, ‘Inner Mounting Flame,’ is, of course, one of my favorites, and also ‘Visions of the Emerald Beyond.’ But the others are also very dear to me.
No, I wouldn’t vote Labour, dear, if you paid me. I vote Conservative.
Even while we busily attend meetings, contribute money and perform our assigned tasks, we suspect that we may be helping to create a force that is inimical to many values we hold dear.
Be true to yourself, pick something that really matters to them and is dear to them.
Music was your real passion, this thing you held dear even above family. It was this relationship that never betrayed you. Once it became your job – this thing that was highly visible, this thing that became about commerce – that’s when you were holding onto music like it was a palm tree in a hurricane.
I grew up reading Proust all my life, and he’s very dear to me.
Once my pilot and I push and jump into the sled, I hold on for dear life in the back while she skillfully and hopefully quickly navigates the two of us down a mile of icy, often bumpy, sharp right and left turns. I then pull the brakes at the end.
Yes, the meeting of dear friends atones for the regret of separation; and like it so much enhances affection, that after absence one wonders how one has been able to stay away from them so long.
‘Nowhere Man’ embodies one of my favorite themes – the hero completely out of his element. It’s really near and dear to my heart.
For a profession that holds dear both the ability to vivisect politicians in prose and the expectation that these carved-up subjects will not complain, the media is horribly thin-skinned and vengeance-seeking when on the receiving end of criticism.
I am deeply saddened by the death of my dear friend, Dudley Moore.
Paris is where my family are, but it’s not really home now because I have dear friends in London and dear friends in New York.
Peoria has been near and dear in my heart. It’s been with me wherever I’ve been. I always have wanted to give back and touch the city in some way.
Most actors I know come from a screwed up background, so it makes sense that if you can walk on to a space and recreate your reality, then that’s the place that will become very dear.
Years are not important, my dear.
I have three homes: my Belarusian land, the homeland of my father, where I have lived my whole life; Ukraine, the homeland of my mother, where I was born; and Russia’s great culture, without which I cannot imagine myself. All are very dear to me.
I’m the ‘Dear Abby’ of math problems. But if you understand something, shouldn’t you be able to explain it? Isn’t that the whole point?
I said to Ruth Rendell, ‘When you’ve written as many books as you have, it’s easier.’ She said, ‘No dear, it gets harder’.
A dear friend of mine always brings a pineapple instead of flowers when he comes to a show. I love it.
I have been in love with Emily Dickinson’s poetry since I was 13, and, like an anonymous post on findagrave.com says, ‘Dear Emily – I hope I have understood.’ Emily’s poems are sometimes difficult, often abstract, on occasion flippant, but her mind is inside them.
Children, dear and loving children, can alone console a woman for the loss of her beauty.
I’m one of relatively few stage-trained actors who doesn’t much like acting on stage. It feels kind of like riding the Cyclone at Coney Island, which I did when I was eight. When it was all over, I was glad I had done it, but most of the time when it was actually happening, I was just kind of hanging on for dear life.
One of my dear friends became Michael Jordan. That gave me a lot of access there. But I had access to everybody from Larry Bird to Magic Johnson to all of the other guys.
When we bring back with us the objects most dear, and find those we left unchanged, we are tempted to doubt the lapse of time; but one link in the chain of affection broken, and every thing seems altered.
Crystal Palace were my first club and one I hold dear to my heart.
I went on tour with the Rolling Stones in 1972 for two or three cities. And in 1975, I was the tour photographer for the Rolling Stones. I hung onto my camera for dear life. Because it scared the hell out of me.
I was terrible when I first started skating and was clinging onto the side for dear life, but it’s something I’ll always have now, and the tour is always so much fun.
His style has the desperate jauntiness of an orchestra fiddling away for dear life on a sinking ship.
I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you till China and Africa meet and the river jumps over the mountain and the salmon sing in the street.
I had some really dear friends who died from AIDS-one in particular. His family wasn’t around and he didn’t have many friends. I spent a lot of time with him in his later days.
It’s true that I’m taking a break from writing a regular column to do other things but it’s got nothing to do with what dear Simon has or has not written.
‘Dear White People’ started a conversation about race. It’s such a difficult thing to talk about, especially in America because of our history. I love that you can confront it with humour and with satire.
I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious.
