Everything is about energy. We’re surrounded by electro mist, fog and smog. We’re covering ourselves in the wrong sorts of electro-magnetism. These idiot politicians who talk about climate change, for goodness sake, do they really think little us can do anything about it? No, of course not.
I would never make a movie just for the sake of making a movie.
The Profile in Courage Award recognizes elected officials who choose to do what is right, not what is easy, so that we might learn from their example. Each time we give the award, we bear witness to the past for the sake of the future.
I don’t wanna be in a show that’s salacious just for the sake of getting viewers.
If you like to argue just for the sake of being contentious, you shouldn’t pick a job based on this unresolved emotional issue of yours, you should get counseling for it.
I do not chase silly drama for the sake of storylines, though it sometimes seems to find me.
I’m a comedian, for God’s sake. Viewers shouldn’t trust me. And you know what? They’re hip enough to know they shouldn’t trust me. I’m just doing stand-up comedy.
I love doing concert choreography because everything is about your vision, come heck or high water. Of course, you also take the blame for everything, but it’s wonderful to be able to make up dance for dance’s sake.
To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.
I actually don’t know anyone who wants to be famous for fame’s sake, at least not anyone I respect. But you need to have a certain amount of power in order to be able to do what you want.
I was primarily interested in people, and people in action, so that I did nothing photographically in the sense of doing buildings for their own sake or a still life or anything like that.
A life is a life and should never be trivialised for the sake of art or what have you.
I entreat masters to live a good life and faithfully to instruct their scholars, especially that they may love God and learn to give themselves to knowledge, in order to promote His honour, the welfare of the state, and their own salvation, but not for the sake of avarice or the praise of man.
If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for love’s sake only.
I want to change things with everything I do, not for the sake of changing things, but for the sake of taking greater and greater risks, or how minimalist I might be able to be, or how I can involve elements or ingredients in music videos that are not musical, for instance.
I don’t want to just do any acting role that comes just for the sake of getting in a film.
Our 1 million members across the country will be watching closely to see if the video game industry hides behind a First Amendment veil in order to exploit children for the sake of corporate profit.
I have continued to work at different things, and rebuilt my home all by myself. I did it for the sake of satisfaction at doing something. I did it because I happened to be where I was.
I can hold a cup of sake on a full moon in Japan, and the reflection of the moon in that little cup can make me feel so enthusiastic about beauty. That one good, magical moment can give me enough to create other things like the teardrop earring or necklace.
There is no need to smear my name or to defame my character for the sake of news.
Don’t hire for the sake of hiring. Hire because there is no other way to do what you want to do.
The show is like an Edwardian play – emotional life gets stepped on for the sake of accepted manners, and that’s terrific for actors to play in.
I love comics for comics’ sake. Always have. Always will.
Remember, acting is not a business of glamour. It is science, craft and an art. Read about acting; don’t do it for the sake of fun. Actors such as Paresh Rawal and Naseeruddin Shah are great examples; they are surviving only because they have read well.
I know there are a lot of others who are willing to take shortcuts for the sake of money, but when I see that… I get real irritated. I hate it.
There is nothing about which I am more anxious than my country, and for its sake I am willing to die ten deaths, if that be possible.
I don’t collect things for the sake of collecting. I don’t really see the point.
For God’s sake hold your tongue, and let me love.
I think there is an awful lot of technology for technology’s sake. I have yet to be convinced by my husband that persuading our mobiles to talk to our computers is going to be quicker and more straightforward than scribbling a note in our kitchen diary.
How often do we make films just celebrating people that do a good job, work altruistically, and are in it just for the sake of the love and not the business?
I am prepared to resort to anything, to submit to anything, for the sake of the commonwealth.
You have to make choices always. It’s about the omission of something for the sake of another.
You have to want to be married to someone. You have to feel that reciprocated. Marriage for marriage’s sake doesn’t make any sense to me, and I found someone with whom I could put my money where my mouth is, I guess.
There is too much disagreement for disagreement’s sake. In a time of persistent challenges that still call into question our most sacred aspirations as a country, we cannot afford shallow callous divisiveness in our public debate.
Positive energy is meant to give people confidence and hope, encourage people to love their country, society and life, as well as to pursue nice things. Everything we do is ultimately for the sake of spreading positive energy.
The guardians of French pharmacies – the lab-coated salespeople – are busy, serious, and probably know more about your face than you do. Therefore, don’t interrupt them, and if they ask you if they can help you, for God’s sake, let them. They will not steer you wrong.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you’re an artist.
I don’t believe in quotas for quotas sake, but I think companies without any women on their boards should write to their shareholders and explain why – explain how many women they’ve interviewed, why they haven’t taken anybody on.
I’m interested in God. I’m not interested in religion for religion’s sake.
I think it’s very difficult to generalize as to why, in a particular league or a particular industry, somebody has or has not come out. We certainly don’t want a player to come out for our sake. It should be what’s right for him and something that he has to be comfortable with.
For narrative games, and also for the sake of the medium, we have to treat performance that way, as actors. You have to have a sense of ownership over it and believe that you’re bringing something meaningful to it – because that’s what all of the developers are doing, and that’s what the story demands.
I don’t really believe getting into a relationship just for the sake for it. I don’t get satisfied by it.
I will do almost anything for the sake of a joke or for the sake of someone’s real belief in something to help tell a story. I will not do something shocking for the sake of being nasty. If it’s not hurting anyone’s feelings, I’m in on the joke.
There’s posh character actors. For God’s sake, Olivier was one of the greatest character actors in the world. Hamlet, Shylock, Othello – Othello! Whether you like it or not.
I’m good at anything that’s country – biscuits, gravy, chicken-fried steak. Look at me, for God’s sake. I cook what I like to eat.
Fame for fame’s sake is toxic – some people want that, with no boundaries. It’s unhealthy.
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.
The people in the well-ordered ages of the past upheld the public law and abandoned private strategies; they focused their intentions and unified their conduct. Everything they did was for the sake of being employed by the ruler.
The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake.
Bottom trawling is a ghastly process that brings untold damage to sea beds that support ocean life. It’s akin to using a bulldozer to catch a butterfly, destroying a whole ecosystem for the sake of a few pounds of protein. We wouldn’t do this on land, so why do it in the oceans?
My advice is this. For Christ’s sake, don’t write a book that is suitable for a kid of 12 years old, because the kids who read who are 12 years old are reading books for adults. I read all of the James Bond books when I was about 11, which was approximately the right time to read James Bond books.
I think it’s pretentious to create art just for the sake of stroking the artists ego.
My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.
We are certainly not to relinquish the evidence of experiments for the sake of dreams and vain fictions of our own devising; nor are we to recede from the analogy of Nature, which is wont to be simple and always consonant to itself.
I don’t know that movies are important. But I know that stories are important. Movies may disappear. They’ve only been around, for God’s sake, for the last hundred years… I think that it’s the need to tell stories, and that people need to be told stories. It’s the old sitting around the fire, you know.
