I look back to the 1980s and 1990s, when Italian teams dominated Europe. They had maybe three players from abroad, but they were the best players in the world. That was perfect, because there was always the possibility for young Italian players to get in the team.
With Yale, my world got so big all of a sudden. At school, if you could dream it, someone would make it so that you could do it. It was magical. I had a lot going on, as you do when you’re 17, and didn’t necessarily capitalize on all of it, but it made me see possibility in a way that I hadn’t before.
I dwell in possibility.
Once a profound truth has been seen, it cannot be ‘unseen’. There’s no ‘going back’ to the person you were. Even if such a possibility did exist… why would you want to?

Liberty is the possibility of doubting, the possibility of making a mistake, the possibility of searching and experimenting, the possibility of saying No to any authority – literary, artistic, philosophic, religious, social and even political.

The UN has given us until 2020 to change the course of humanity. If that doesn’t happen human extinction in my children’s lifetime is a possibility.

I will say – and not to sound arrogant – people would have been upset if I failed my cash-in. Yeah, it would not have been a good move. I didn’t really think that was going to happen, but you never know. It’s always a possibility.
Romantic love can be terrifying. We experience another human being as enormously important to us. So there is surrender – not a surrender to the other person so much as to our feeling for the other person. What is the obstacle? The possibility of loss.
Arsene Wenger gave me the possibility to bounce back.
Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone – except God.
It is interesting that I have gone through the process of representing clients as an ex-athlete. I am certainly not naive to think that the possibility of corruption isn’t there.
I lived in L.A., and the possibility out there is endless. I could’ve done reality TV! It was offered to me plenty of times. But that just wasn’t where my heart was. If I wanted quick fame or quick money, I could’ve taken that route, but it just wasn’t settling right with me.

In a market economy, however, the individual has some possibility of escaping from the power of the state.
The economic sense of possibility was so great when I was growing up that my parents had no question that I could do anything I wanted to do, even as a girl. I’ve always believed that the economics of a story intersects with the women’s story – that stuff often happens at the time it happens because of the economy.
When I became a manager, my enthusiasm became more because when you have the possibility to waste your energy and show your passion during the game; it is good.
I’m going to explore the possibility that my future work could be in public service rather than corporate work.

On Thanksgiving I will stop to give thanks that my family is safe and healthy, especially because I realize that, following the tragedies of this year, it is all too real a possibility that they might not have been.
I’m a socialist. I know Marx and communism did not work before, but I think in the future you have the possibility of having total communism and equal access to everything for everybody.
I loved living in London in my 20s and 30s, but after a while, you kind of go, ‘Right, is this it? Is this it for the rest of my days? Or is there some other possibility?’

I have always wanted to do Broadway, my whole life, but I never knew I’d actually make it – it’s a dream; it’s never been in the realm of possibility. So to be doing ‘Hello Dolly!,’ it’s not just Broadway, but it’s the most joyful, sort of classic Broadway experience with the most extraordinary company.
Taken as a whole, the work of Marx, at the same times it shows the thesis of the growing pauperization of the non-propertied classes, relativizes it when contemplating the possibility that the class struggles result in distributive effects.
In all these years, I’ve always tried to emphasize and to promote the need to combat the Mafia. Because it is a cancer which is oppressive and which stifles everybody’s freedom and reduces the possibility for the areas in which it’s present to prosper and to develop.
When you leave home, then you leave with the possibility of not returning.
Think about the possibility: why is it that iPhones and iPads advance far faster than the health tools that are available to you to help take care of your family?

I’m just a very curious guy who has a lot of possibility.
We have found a direct correlation between grit and positive emotions, but the fact that I have no evidence that grit is bad for you doesn’t mean it’s not. It’s always a possibility that in the future researchers will discover a downside to grit.

If we cannot see the possibility of greatness, how can we dream it?
Playing devil’s advocate with myself is very, very hard. It’s a 24-hour thing. Because I know there’s a possibility that people are going to come after me, they’re not going to understand me, so I have to be ready.
The attitude and capacity of the factory, the old metal table and the new ideas of the wooden furniture quickly and naturally suggested the possibility of metal furniture.

If you just technically adhere to the law, sometimes that’s enough, sometimes it’s not; it’s really hard to predict. There is definitely a possibility that the Chinese authorities won’t find it sufficient.
