People worry about Twitter. Twitter is banal. It’s 140-character messages. By definition, you can hardly say anything profound. On the other hand, we communicate. And, sometimes, we communicate about things that are important.
The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not.
‘Go vote’ is a not a political strategy. It’s hardly a slogan. Hell, it’s not even a good tweet.
Economic disasters or foolish wars are hardly guaranteed to bring about large-scale individual self-examination or renew the appeal of truly participatory democracy.
We are closing corporate loopholes so we are hardly being heroic to close the combined reporting loophole. I think 28 or 30 other states have done it and a lot of those states will be trying to get Amazon.
Being a child that grew up with a single mom back in the ’70s, Father’s Day to me was always a very uncomfortable time. At school, we would make Father’s Day cards for our dads, and I usually mailed one to my dad, and he hardly ever responded.
My performances in auditions were so inept that I hardly got any jobs in film or TV. I just could not learn the lines and the thought of doing theatre terrified me. What if I forgot my lines in the middle of a scene with an entire audience watching?
Most of my childhood, my father was hardly around.
I do very few standards. Hardly any. Other people’s tunes that I do are usually obscure tunes, for the most part, although I do a couple of Duke Ellington tunes that are well known.
Shakespeare fascinated me. He hardly ever left the country. His imagination was worldwide though reading.
When you’re the president, there’s tremendous respect, and everybody goes out of their way respecting you and honoring you… it can be a trap. Nobody says ‘Boo’ to you, and nobody tells you you’re wrong, hardly, if you have the wrong people around you.
If in a country, most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the few, then this country can hardly witness harmony and stability.
Texas has no income tax, which is a big draw for corporate executives who do business there. But it’s hardly tax-free. The property taxes are high for a Southern state. The sales taxes are high. One study found that the bottom 20 percent of the Texas population pays 12 percent of its income in state and local taxes.
When I first came to Nashville, people hardly gave country music any respect. We lived in old cars and dirty hotels, and we ate when we could.
I hardly use a computer anymore because I have everything on my phone.
I hardly grew up mono-lingually! I was raised religious, so there’s a tradition of semi-access to a second language. When I learned my ABCs, they taught us our Aleph-Bet at the same time.
Oprah’s aspiration to inspire her audience with hope – elaborated on her TV show, in her magazine, and on her website – is hardly ignoble.
It hardly seems worthwhile to point out the shortsightedness of those practitioners who would have us believe that the form of the poem is merely its shape.
I come from a generation where I did not have any knowledge about racism, trolling or degrading someone because we hardly used to do it to other people.
Personally criticizing a member of my staff hardly seemed like the way to negotiate a deal.
Optimism is normal, but some fortunate people are more optimistic than the rest of us. If you are genetically endowed with an optimistic bias, you hardly need to be told that you are a lucky person – you already feel fortunate.
I don’t watch any television, hardly ever because I’m so busy. I always obviously watch my shows because I blog about it and talk about it, but no, I can watch the news in the morning and that’s it.
Passion is no respecter of persons. She hardly seems to select her victims.
The first role that I played as a musical – I was 14 years old, and I played Birdie in ‘Bye Bye Birdie.’ That was an awakening of, ‘Wow, I’m good at that. People are responding.’ And I hardly knew what I was doing back then, but there was something that people were seeing.
Hardly anybody realizes that the first couple of chapters of ‘Coming Apart’ were basically a recapitulation of the argument in ‘The Bell Curve.’ That’s how little people focused on ‘The Bell Curve’s’ real message.
I hardly ever drink.
Where I grew up, in Des Moines, Iowa, there is hardly any downtown economic activity now. Everybody shops in malls – you don’t find a sense of community in malls.
Well, the first thing is that truth and power for me form an antithesis, an antagonism, which will hardly ever be resolved. I can define in fact, can simplify the history of human society, the evolution of human society, as a contest between power and freedom.
With all the knowledge and skill acquired in thousands of flights in the last ten years, I would hardly think today of making my first flight on a strange machine in a twenty-seven mile wind, even if I knew that the machine had already been flown and was safe.
I have – and you gotta believe this – hardly ever met anybody in Hollywood who’s not nice. There are some people I don’t like, but everybody has been very nice.
The results of political changes are hardly ever those which their friends hope or their foes fear.
I got scars on my face that tell some kind of story. I’m looking in the mirror, and I got one scar that’s really two scars – half from a baseball bat and half from playing football in college. I’ll tell you, though, after a while, your face gets so wrinkled up you can hardly see them.
I’m hardly the most notable person in ‘Zombieland.’ The other actors in it are way more famous than I am.
I only became interested in clothes when I was in my mid-teens. I’d do things like spike my hair and put on a nice shirt, but I’d hardly call myself fashion-conscious. I just don’t have the energy.
There’s hardly any precedent for a guy like me to have the career that I’ve had. Because I grew up the way I grew up, I’m an in-your-face kind of guy. I developed that as a defense mechanism to survive in the streets. I do that in Hollywood in the service of my passion.
People liked my performances in ‘Kill Dill’ and ‘Happy Ending,’ but I was hardly there in them.
By virtue of my job, I’m traveling. You get to spend very little time with your family. We hardly get to meet each other except on the one odd day we really get to spend time, have dinner together. And that’s rare, and we cherish it.
The very notion of Great Britain’s ‘greatness’ is bound up with empire. Euro-scepticism and Little Englander nationalism could hardly survive if people understood whose sugar flowed through English blood and rotted English teeth.
I guess I’m not that aware of such a big fan base. I have a few core people who write me no matter what I’m doing, but I hardly have sacks of mail being dropped on my door!
There are 2,000 young-adult novels published a year, and hardly any of them ever break out.
Considering the company I keep in this place, that is hardly surprising.
It is hardly fair to accuse us of ignorance when it was made a crime under the former order of things to learn enough about letters to even read the Word of God.
The happy childhood is hardly worth your while.
My family moved out of London’s East End to a tiny village. The school I went to was supposed to be mixed gender, but there were hardly any boys born that year. So, yes, joining a youth theatre was a fun way to meet the opposite sex!
I don’t like journalists and I hardly ever talk to them.
I’m nearly blind. I can hardly see. But I’m taking some herbs. Something quacky.
Between us and the writers, it was comedy hour the whole time. We could hardly get through it.
Roberto Duran was the kind of guy who was a true fighter and you hardly see guys like that anymore.
I was never any good at remembering dates, but now I hardly have to. When the first bulb catalogs get delivered and the hens start laying again, that’s all the notice I’ll need to know that winter has passed.
I was running for mayor of Syracuse – the first woman to run for mayor in our city, or in New York, and one of the first in the United States. I was known for my strong conservation plank. In 1969, the term ‘conservation’ was hardly on the tip of every citizen’s tongue.
I’m half deaf. I have nerve damage and a constant ringing in both of my ears, and there are certain times and conditions when I can hardly hear at all.
I hardly ever get asked about music. I do, however, get asked about the ‘Addicted to Love’ video and my suits on a daily basis.
If you look at my audiences, even in Europe, they’re hardly teenagers.
I’m not exactly an example of how to learn English; I just can’t get it into my head. I’m learning hardly anything, truth be told.
My father wanted me to be a pharmacist like himself. He had been a doctor, but he no longer believed in medicine; so he became a pharmacist, but he believed in that hardly more.
Onstage, I am a devil. But I’m hardly a social reject.
When you’ve got hardly any equipment, very little money and no access to any information, your sound is very much dictated by you, your setup and what you’re listening to. Nothing more.
Drosnin’s ‘The Bible Code’ would hardly be worth mentioning were it not such a smash hit.
