How does the past ambush us? How can we be accurate about what happened, how can we be true to it? And can war be declared over? And can we ever evolve from the notion of war, of nations, of us versus them?

I think a lot about intergenerational justice. Short-term versus long-term helps to explain a lot of the policy disagreements that happen between the parties, and I would argue that in most ways, we are the party with more long-term thinking.

I like stories of the classic hero, of good versus evil, the ones in which the good guys wear white and the bad guys wear black… and I love a good sword fight.

I’m just excited that I get to put out the music I love versus music just for the sake of it.

I think, for a while, there was a kind of debate about whether you could bring back Negro and reclaim it, and then it was black versus African American; now I have noticed in conversation that black people will use all three terms depending on context. I don’t advocate one term.

I’ve always been fascinated by this idea of who we are versus who we want to be.

This is what America is about when it comes to understanding that it is equal opportunity versus equal achievement. Each and every one of us has the opportunity for greatness in this country.

Sometimes it looks like the board and the chairman are the worst enemy of the manager and the coaching staff, the football versus the financial side.

Instead of speaking of men versus women, we should speak about artists rising at a worldwide level.

I don’t hold any candle for drama versus comedy.

I think that Karate Hottie can get me the title shot… That’s who I’ve been waiting for, karate versus karate, and I think that’s a big enough fight to propel me into the No. 1 contender spot.

In a budget, how important is art versus music versus athletics versus computer programming? At the end of the day, some of those trade-offs will be made politically.

Verne’s all about what you can do versus what you can’t do. He just kept saying yes and his part kept growing. I would love to work with him in every movie.

Medical liability reform is not a Republican or Democrat issue or even a doctor versus lawyer issue. It is a patient issue.

This is not about abortion or the antics. This is about pro choice versus anti-choice and government intervention in a woman’s personal decisions about her life.

I thought poker might be a perfect environment to start to learn probabilistic decision-making, and to live what it means to have skill versus chance and to see how that played out. I would dive in head first into the poker world.

We still haven’t seen any cars take advantage of the electric powertrain in terms of how you proportion an electric vehicle versus traditional vehicles. Yes there’s electric cars, but they haven’t really done it in a beautiful way.

I love the individual sport stuff but the experiences I’ve had with some great people over 12 or 15 years are what makes is special. That individual thing: me versus the bowler is great but you get that team feeling as well and that’s why it suits me so well.

Brazil versus Argentina is always a great game, with great football and scoring chances.

I can know what Brian Cage is doing before he’s doing it because he’s doing me. I’ve been facing the man in the mirror my entire life. That’s been my hardest battle is the one where it’s me versus me.

In the original ‘Guild Wars,’ one of the big conflicts was the humans versus the charr. The humans and charr are both playable races in ‘Guild Wars 2,’ and they are on the same side, more or less. They don’t hate each other.

We tried to limit human versus human conflict only to those cases where it could be powerfully motivated and made completely believable.

That’s the really fun thing about writing for series versus just doing a pilot or even doing a feature: you get to live with your actors, and as you learn their voices and they learn your dialog, you’re kind of building the characters together.

It’s businesses versus big government. We don’t need big government. We need a more efficient, lean government, and that’s exactly the kind of government we intend to deliver.

I think the reason why people love ‘Downton Abbey’ is because all the characters are given the same weight. Some are nice, some are not, but it has nothing to do with class or oppressors versus the oppressed.

The Fatherland Liberation War, which the Korean people fought against the haughty U.S. imperialists who had battened on aggression and pillage, was, in fact, a hard fight that could be likened to a bare-handed man versus brigandish robbers.

The world is neither running down nor deterministic, and a strict division of order versus chaos is just wrong.

‘Alien’ asked ground-breaking questions about eco-politics and female empowerment. ‘The Matrix’ delved deeper into the concept of perception versus reality than perhaps any other film I know. But for some reason, we tend not to remember the significance of their writing.

I don’t look at it as mainstream country versus outsider.

I have five kids, and people can say ‘nature versus nurture,’ but it is nature! Nurture has so little to do with it. I have five kids, and there are five totally different people in my house.

I’m not a very patient person. I’ll take those quick risks to see if it’s going to work versus taking the long and tortuous road of trying to guarantee myself that something will work. That’s like self-mutilation to me.

At the end of the day, it’s 11 men versus 11 on the pitch.

Individual versus group selection results in a mix of altruism and selfishness, of virtue and sin, among the members of a society.

For me, I like any win I can get. It doesn’t really matter where it is or who it’s versus.

This mandate that I seek is about continuity and sustainability against disruption and stagnation, about moving forward versus regressing. We have to safeguard what we have already achieved. We cannot put at risk what we have; we cannot gamble away our future.

The old division of Left versus Right is dead. In the Internet age, it’s about citizens versus parliamentary relics.

To become the kind of person you want to become, you’ve got to have discipline. It’s easier to keep to your standards 100 percent of the time versus 98 percent of the time.

Especially going from an attacking player to a defensive player, your whole mindset has to change. You have to work on one-v-one defending versus one-v-one attacking.

I respect the system out there in Hollywood, I really do, but I’m very intent on art versus commerce. I want to do it all – film, TV and theatre – if it’s the right job.

My own rhetoric is not so ‘us versus them.’ I don’t like fighting.

It’s not white versus black any more, it’s haves versus have-nots. Unless the black middle-classes unite to promote the interests of the black underclass, tension between them is inevitable. What we, the black middle class have to do, is think of a strategy to avert that.

I think it’s always interesting how music means different things to different people, and people who overthink it are looking to in some ways show off with music, versus people who just respond to a song and decide to sing it.

What does it mean when I wear something that makes me look like a Disney Princess? Versus something that’s like ‘ooh, maybe Kiki Layne can be a sex symbol.’ Because these are things that, sometimes dark skin actors with natural hair, we don’t get put into those types of conversations.

Margaret Thatcher was a 20th century visionary who understood the power of individual freedom versus the tyranny of government collectivism. She was a loyal supporter and friend of the United States and her terms as prime minister were marked as the beginning of the resurgence of the economy of the United Kingdom.

Certainly, last year we did an episode about the census and sampling versus a direct statistic. You just said the word ‘census,’ and people fall asleep.

We don’t believe in a world of us versus them; we look at the world as all of us together.

‘Bernie versus Bernie,’ for me, is these two extremes of capitalism. It’s Bernie Sanders, the ultimate socialist, and Bernie Madoff, the ultimate capitalist.

As a woman, this is one of these areas where you have to walk a fine line: the classic, ‘Are you soft and squishy, and you hug everybody, and you’re a cheerleader?’ versus, ‘Are you the hard-nosed you-know-what female dog?’

Growing up, it was uncool to admit that your family had any money. And then, instantly, money was cool. In Reagan’s parlance, it was about freedom of the individual, which was freedom to be greedy… individual versus society. There was a weird seduction in that, which I still feel.

There does not seem to be that collegiality I referred to, there seems to be much more of a them versus us attitude, rather than we all have a role to play in this process so let’s get on with it.

The thrill of doing television versus features is, in television, you get to focus more on the characters.

There’s something advantageous about being a woman in rock versus, say, a woman in chemistry or construction. There’s definitely a built-in sexism across the board, but I think you’re afforded a degree of freedom in rock because, historically, the rules have been flexible.

When you’re displaying content, any technology will use more power to display, versus not displaying content.

That’s the thing that we said about the horn before: it’s a focus issue. It’s like a singer versus a drummer. If a drummer’s playing a drum beat, and a singer starts singing, what do you think the audience is going to do?

I am still fairly confident we will come out better than the West in terms of our overall development versus damage.

Any time I strap it up and play, I’m ready to turn on versus anybody.

On my season of ‘Survivor,’ the tribes were split: a tribe of men versus a tribe of women. Even though the women kicked the men’s butts at the first two challenges, we were a hot mess at camp.

It’s fun to see the house-hunting process, and what gets you a house on the water versus inland.

Whether it’s with a ‘Metroid’ experience or a ‘Donkey Kong’ experience, we’re constantly looking to push the envelope on the IP versus doing sequential small iterations with a particular franchise.

The issues of wireless versus wireline gets very messy. And that’s really an FCC issue, not a Google issue.

There’s a big difference between needs and requirements for grid-based electricity versus those for distributed rural homes or remote locations, or even rooftop solar, where photovoltaics do OK. The more economical a technology is, the faster we’ll see adoption.

So here we are today with a new conversation. When University of Georgia plays Georgia Tech, it’s uniform color versus skin color. We have – we’ve overcome that level of racial fear.

The question of one versus two species of African elephants isn’t about settling an arcane DNA argument; it’s about life or death for these majestic, extraordinary creatures.

Trump has torn off America’s Band-Aid. The stories we are covering are about fundamental American values. We are having debates about democracy versus autocracy, the rule of law, equality and diversity.

The traditional story of economists has been to say education explains what the returns are to school. I say, ‘Okay, that’s fine, but what explains the education? How much is just a matter of my giving you a poor kid versus a rich kid?’

I’ve got a PowerPoint deck that I use for internal presentations, and there’s a slide on it that asks, ‘What percentage of your game is combat versus exploration versus puzzle solving versus platforming,’ and I refuse to answer that question.

I think a lot of personnel decisions come down to who’s the best player today, like if we had to throw ’em in a game today versus what could their upside be 18 months from now. A lot of times, those are two different answers. That’s the difficulty of player personnel.

If it’s Clinton versus Trump, all Indians are voting for Trump.

I think the best wrestlers in the world are the ones who grow up watching it and have a love for it before they learn it’s a business. You can tell the difference between the guys who grow up watching wrestling versus the guys who get into it as an opportunity to make a living.

The martial arts that I got into was because of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, because of all of the animal styles at the time. It was around about the time when Jackie was doing ‘Drunken Master,’ and, like, Snake versus this and that.

I liked the game, I enjoyed the game, and the game fed me enough, and gave me enough rewards to reinforce that this is something that I should spend time doing, and that I could possibly make a priority in my life, versus other sports.

When you go to the jungle in South Africa, it’s tropical versus the dry heat of Cape Town – it’s hard to believe it’s the same country.

I’ve always wanted to be a DJ so I could play the music I love for other people. That feeling hasn’t changed, but my sets are always evolving. In terms of tailoring to a specific crowd, certainly I do play differently depending on the situation. It’s a different feel, for example, in a small club versus a festival.

We’re in such a volatile climate right now politically. I think they didn’t want Assassins to not succeed due to popular opinion and politics, versus on its own merits. I can respect that.

I’m digesting C.S. Lewis and Tim Keller and so on and so forth, Francis Schaeffer. I’m seeing how they’ve affected culture and politics and science and so on and so forth, with implicit faith versus explicit faith.

Arguments over grammar and style are often as fierce as those over IBM versus Mac, and as fruitless as Coke versus Pepsi and boxers versus briefs.

We can prove that we are in the business of governing responsibly, upholding our rule of law, and giving priority to those immigrants willing to apply legally versus those who leverage our system’s loopholes.

Sports formed me. I was always decently skilled but lacked size, so I had to resort to using my skill versus my power. I strategically play golf because that’s all I can do. It’s the same on the basketball court. I try to get open and shoot it. Or I use the open space on the soccer field.

Nature is based on harmony. So it says if we want to survive and become more like nature, then we actually have to understand that it’s cooperation versus competition.

Healthcare is growing now at about 10 per cent per annum in the U.S. top line, versus 3 per cent for the economy. As someone with a sharp pencil and an eye for this kind of thing, this can’t last.

I’m always fighting the cup-is-half-empty way of being, versus the cup-is-half-full. I’m always fighting the pessimistic versus the positive.

Broadband connections allow us to access more robust types of content, services, and applications – video chat versus email, or live streaming versus chat, for example. Yet if we look beyond our own personal use, we can see that broadband Internet access is not merely a convenience: it is a powerful force for social change.

Southern Appalachians have been ridiculed since the country began. In fiction, they’re usually depicted in a cartoonish manner. The region is poor, and very suspicious of outsiders, so there’s a sort of ‘us versus them’ situation. They’re easy to poke fun at.

People always ask why I stay in the online space versus going to TV or film, like most people would do, and the answer is that there’s opportunity for innovation online – not only innovation in storytelling, but also innovation in how you interact with your audience and that is very fulfilling to me personally.

I think theater is more about living and breathing, versus TV, which can vary.

Where I’m from is like ‘Hustle & Flow’ versus ‘8 Mile.’ It’s that really grimy, box-Chevy, dope-boy, working-class music.

The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand. The fight we are in here, make no mistake about it, is a fight of individualism versus collectivism.

The air of the English is down-to-earth. They care about details; there’s a tradition, but there’s also a counter-culture: the younger generation versus the older generation and so on. But then that’s well blended into a happy balance and crystallised into common sense.

Today the people from my State of Tennessee would listen to this debate, or even talk about a reference to God on our money or in the Halls of Congress or in our Pledge and say, please, let common sense and logic win the day and prevail versus legal mumbo jumbo.

I think Hong Kong people’s struggle for democracy is similar to David versus Goliath. But this struggle is not just about me.

The last season of ‘Rescue Me’ is going to be very sort of half and half: it’s how you think ‘Rescue Me’ would end versus something very outside the box. And, they do it in this sort of perfect way – it’s only nine episodes, you know. Very stream-lined.

A lot of guys are able to separate how they act off the court versus how they act on the court.

For all the manufactured ‘Republican versus Democrat’ drama that dominates today’s cable news and political rhetoric, the most striking feature of our present-day democracy is not partisan divide – it’s a corrupt system that protects incumbents from the consequences that real democracy brings.

I think my favorite movie is ‘Joe Versus the Volcano’ – or maybe ‘Multiple Maniacs’ by John Waters.

Why is it braver to be a single mother versus being with a partner? Being in a couple and having a child could be more challenging because there might be conflict if the male partner cannot understand the extreme attachment a woman feels when she has a child.

I never told anyone how unhappy I was because I was also grateful I had a job versus so many people that didn’t. I did not think I was allowed to be miserable, but I was overworked, sleep-deprived and just lost.

I’m having a lot of fun playing myself out there on YouTube and showing who I am and getting to do projects that make me happy versus satisfy what people think a girl should be doing.

Who would have thought that Shane McMahon would have any kind of a chance versus Undertaker?

A song versus an album is not like a scene versus a play.

If you wake up deciding what you want to give versus what you’re going to get, you become a more successful person.

Writing on my own versus co-writing kind of is the exact same thing because we don’t sit in the same room when we write. We’re always writing alone anyway.

If you give us a safe vaccine, we’ll use it. It shouldn’t be polio versus autism.

I think what HQ Trivia’s done is taken the old-school idea of a trivia show – a quiz show – which has been around since the dawn of television, even radio, and made it a participatory event versus a spectator sport.

If you’re using live bass versus orchestral bass, you’ve got to make sure that you’re not stepping on the toes of the other elements, so you’ve got to balance it out.

One of the things that’s been crazy for us has been the speed at which news can break on Digg, because it’s powered by a mass of humans versus a machine that has to go out and crawl and find the information and then determine its relevance mathematically.

I don’t make a concerted effort to distinguish myself as Duncan D. Hunter versus Duncan Hunter. I just do my own thing. That’s good enough for me.

When you become sufficiently expert in the state of the art, you stop picking ideas at random. You are thoughtful in how to select ideas and how to combine ideas. You are thoughtful about when you should be generating many ideas versus pruning down ideas.

Clear Moon’ is more… clear I guess! It’s more round-sounding and it’s slightly gentler. ‘Ocean Roar’ is more challenging and weird and darker and heavier – the idea was for it to feel like a thick fog laying on your head, versus a clear sky with the moon in it.

What I love about comedy is that it’s unquestionably working. There are varying degrees of that, where there’s something that makes you smile and is funny versus something that makes you hysterically laugh.

An unmarried adult who cannot navigate the welfare system has no choice but to work, but a married working parent is constantly evaluating the relative merits of staying home with the kids versus bringing home that second paycheck.

The novel is like a melancholy form. It’s about some kind of disillusionment with the way things are versus the idea of how they could be or how they used to be.

No matter what Sarah Palin and these geniuses she surrounds herself with try to tell you, climate change is not a liberal versus conservative thing, but the people who profit from ignoring it want you to believe it is.
