If D-Day – the greatest amphibious operation ever undertaken – failed, there would be no going back to the drawing board for the Allies. Regrouping and attempting another massive invasion of German-occupied France even a few months later in 1944 wasn’t an option.
We believe in fair exchange rates and Japan doesn’t practice that. They have massive U.S. dollar reserves, and they use them to intervene regularly.
A recession is very bad for publicly traded companies, but it’s the best time for startups. When you have massive layoffs, there’s more competition for available jobs, which means that an entrepreneur can hire freelancers at a lower cost.
I’ve won league championships, and I helped pull off a massive NCAA tournament upset – our 15-versus-2 win over Duke in 2012.
In the car on my way to the studio, I was listening to ‘Where Are U Now’ with Justin Bieber and Jack U, so I was like, ‘Wow, this is such a banger.’ I loved the thought of having a ballad at the beginning and then just a massive drop.
There’s massive government initiatives going around the world, and you see that there’s a real enthusiasm for genetics.
I’ve learnt that you tend most to make a div of yourself when you’re trying to cover up the fact that you don’t know what you’re doing. And that simply saying ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’ is a massive relief.
On climate change, we are told that there will be a civilization-ending development in the form of massive sea level rise as soon as 2050. Anybody plan to be here in 2050? I think a few of us do, myself included.
I was a massive fan of AC/DC, Foo Fighters, Muse – I went to see all of them live. B.B. King, Chuck Berry, I love Ray Charles. I just like a bit of everything.
I think, with Obama and the progressives, you’ve seen a massive expansion of big government, and it’s all based on a moral premise. The moral premise is that wealth is theft. And I don’t just mean the wealth of America, I mean, your wealth, my wealth.
Some investors may grumble about entrepreneurs wanting ‘unicorn valuations.’ But let’s be honest: most investors want them, too, and are supporting the massive capitalization of these companies.
There was a massive poster of me down my road, right outside the chip shop. I was about to go in, but then I saw it and changed my mind. Me coming out with a bag of chips, while I’m up there doing crunches on the poster… well, it would not look good.
I had massive admiration for lots of players. Richard Hill would be up there, along with Martin Johnson.
Nick Kyrgios, physically, is a monster. When he is on the court and he runs, he flies. And he has got a massive arm.
I’ve always been a girl with a massive opinion.
Distributers don’t need massive amounts of square feet to stock digital products. Retailers don’t need brick-and-mortar stores to sell them. The entire supply chain for these select items has been permanently dematerialized. The marketplace has been blown to bits.
Any athlete has massive reserves in their body and their emotional landscape.
When we arrived in London, my sadness at leaving Paris was turned into despair. After my long stay in the French capital, huge, ponderous, massive London seemed to me as ugly a thing as man could contrive to make.
It’s obviously a massive honour to captain your country.
Most of my inspiration comes from mistakes, so every time I make a massive mistake, that usually affects me so much that I have to process that via song.

One of London’s massive strengths is its sporting prowess, its great football teams.
The massive bulk of the earth does indeed shrink to insignificance in comparison with the size of the heavens.
Reading interviews with other people, I see them say, ‘All I want is for our band to be massive’, but it was never an ambition of ours to be in a band that’s this big. That’s so far from how my mind works that I find it puzzling. There’s nothing wrong with being ambitious, but we’re not.
I revise a lot while I’m drafting, often going back to the beginning again and again to revise because I’ve changed massive things about the story. By the time I get to the end of a first draft, I’ve been through the beginning lots of times.
For whatever reason, when it came out in 1995, ‘Infinite Jest’ became a cultural event. It was the massive book that was ‘cool’ for all the Gen Xers to read.
Scoring from a dead-ball brings me massive satisfaction. It sets me up as an example for other players to follow, copy, and perhaps even emulate over the course of time. For them, I’m a Juninho Pernambucano 2.0, a Brazilian with a Brescia accent.
I would like here to announce to all Indonesian Muslims that I, as a private citizen, am prepared to take charge of the massive national effort of zakat collection… From now on, I am personally willing to receive zakat payments made in the form of money orders from every single Muslim in the country.
I was on the national Pentathlon team for a few years, but there was no funding for athletes in Canada. I was in a massive amount of personal debt at the age of 21, so I joined a little modelling and talent agency to get a some work, to do anything so that I didn’t have to drop out of school.
Outside the Olympics, there are massive discrepancies within all sports. But the positive side for me is that the Olympics are the biggest platform there is, and there’s total equality across all sports.
Stalinism is linked with a cult of personality and massive violations of the law, with repression and camps. There is nothing like that in Russia and, I hope, will never again be.
I was fortunate to be born when I was. There’s been a massive rise in British cycling since I joined the junior programme when I was 17. It all started in 2004 when Chris Hoy won gold for the 1 km. time trial in Athens; when one person starts doing well, they take everyone with them.
I don’t necessarily wait for that massive leading role. I want to keep the juices flowing.
As a global society, we have the technology, resources and the know-how to make a massive difference to living standards everywhere, including for refugees.
My personal history is strewn with massive errors in judgment. They’re all precious to me.
Against Juventus we were massive underdogs, so to beat them was fantastic.
Generally speaking, exoplanets can be any size, and they are found in a wide range of orbits. Some have massive gas atmospheres; others are smaller with an icy or rocky composition.
As a young boy growing up in New York City, we would spend our summers on the South Fork of Long Island. My dad would take me down to the beach at low tide. We would walk a mile down to the jetties, and he would lower me by my ankles into the crevices between the massive boulders to grab at huge ropes of mussels.
I’ve been in a few films that have been adapted and, as an actor, the amount of resources and things you can gain just from reading the story, as well as the script, are so massive that it’s something you just can’t put down.
I’m a massive fan of Carnaby Street. I love it there. Every time I have an audition, I like to have a cheeky wander through, do a little bit of a window shop, just to see what’s happening. As well as the shops and the clothes, I like the vibe and energy.
I love The Inn at Palmetto Bluff, an Auberge Property in Bluffton, South Carolina. It’s a spectacular corner of the world, with massive old trees lined with Spanish moss, and alligators swimming in the river.
I’m not a massive fan of 3D. I’ve seen some good 3D, and I’ve seen quite a lot of bad 3D. I think if a film is created for the shock effect of 3D, then it’s a certain type of film that I’m not massively bothered about.
Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands.
When I’m dealing with Britney Spears and Katy Perry, these massive brands, like, really, very Coca-Cola, you know what I mean? There are certain kinds of standards. There are risks you can take, and there’s risks that you don’t. And I think I’m interested in taking a little more risk in my own music.
‘A Storm of Swords’ is a massive volume, and it seemed like it would be shortchanging it to try to cram it into ten episodes.
With my years of promos & commercials, I actually have a massive amount of experience with regards to production. There pretty much isn’t one thing I haven’t tried at least once.
It does cost a lot of money to make high-quality TV in exotic locations. I know everyone thinks we’ve been given a massive sack full of money and gone off and bought Lamborghinis and gone off for lunch, but it isn’t actually like that.
My prayer is that the good news of Jesus, the crucified and risen Messiah, would flood Jewish communities around the world, that the veil would be lifted, and that we would see a massive turning of Israel to the Lord Jesus.
For a lot of people, it’s a massive deal to be on the front row at Fashion Week and look perfect. I don’t go to be seen; I go to look at the collections and support my friends, like Henry, Giles and Jonathan Saunders. As much as I love clothes and shopping, it doesn’t drive me.
