Civilization as it is known today could not have evolved, nor can it survive, without an adequate food supply.
I’d rather not have a moment when I’m known for my looks; being funny and interesting lasts longer.
Everyone knows nowadays that people ‘have complexes’. What is not so well known, though far more important theoretically, is that complexes can have us.

I was quite cocky, but having been hailed as this great young golfer, I couldn’t even make the high school golf team once I got there. I had a big dose of humble pie then, and ever since, I’ve always known that there is always someone out there better than you, more talented. Always.
The vanity of being known to be trusted with a secret is generally one of the chief motives to disclose it.
During my life I have seen, known, and lost too much to be the prey of vain dread; and, as for the hope of immortality, I am as weary of that as I am of gods and kings. For my own sake only I write this; and herein I differ from all other writers, past and to come.
As is well known, ‘McCarthyism’ was an alleged focus of political evil in the 1950s: Accusations of Communist taint, without factual basis; bogus lists of supposed Communists who never existed; failure in the end to produce even one provable Communist or Soviet agent, despite his myriad charges of subversion.

I’ve been working since I was 9, and I’ve never known a life without a film set.

Words of comfort, skillfully administered, are the oldest therapy known to man.
Contrary to current cynicism about past golden ages, the abstraction known as ‘the intelligent layperson’ does exist – in the form of millions of folks with a passionate commitment to continuous learning.

I have long known that it is part of God’s plan for me to spend a little time with each of the most stupid people on earth.

It was good because it helped me get where I’m at today, but then people stereotype and say we don’t want to use her because she’s known as the ‘Wonderbra girl’.
I was in the Boy Scouts for about four years until my troop disbanded. It is really one of the best activities youths can get involved in and nearly every scout I have known has been a class act due to the discipline the Scouts have instilled in them.
There is a fun, flippant side to me, of course. But I would much rather be known as the Ice Queen.
My mother is probably the wisest person I’ve ever known. She’s not schooled, she’s not well read. But she has a philosophy of life that makes well-read people seem like morons.
We have what we seek, it is there all the time, and if we give it time, it will make itself known to us.
The gambling known as business looks with austere disfavor upon the business known as gambling.
I don’t want to be a total moron and be just known as the jazz-handed judge.
When I was younger I had a gut feeling that I was going to use my personality in some way, but I didn’t know how. But I always had an outgoing personality. That was the one thing that I was known for.

Do not suppose, however, that I intend to urge a diet of classics on anybody. I have seen such diets at work. I have known people who have actually read all, or almost all, the guaranteed Hundred Best Books. God save us from reading nothing but the best.
Folks, I can tell you I’ve known eight presidents, three of them intimately.
The term stigma and its synonyms conceal a double perspective: does the stigmatized individual assume his differentness is known about already or is evident on the spot, or does he assume it is neither known about by those present nor immediately perceivable by them?
I’m really an inner spirit that only makes itself known through the music. A lot of people think I’m an introvert, or quiet and moody. I’ve even heard some people say that there’s a certain mystery or darkness about me. I’m not that way. I’m just really into what I do.
Those who have known the famous are publicly debriefed of their memories, knowing as their own dusk falls that they will only be remembered for remembering someone else.

Character is always known. Thefts never enrich; alms never impoverish; murder will speak out of stone walls.
People who drop litter really stress me out. I have been known to chase after people and say, ‘Sorry, but you’ve forgotten something,’ and then hand it back to them.
I’m what you call a good, old-fashioned working actor who has had delusions of grandeur for my entire career and has known what I want to do, but there’s a lot going on out there. There are a lot fewer films being made, and there’s a lot of competition.
The process of unleashing worms on organic waste such as food scraps and grass clippings is known as ‘vermicomposting.’ Amateur horticulturists and hippies have been doing it on a small scale for decades.

I learned that I suffered from bipolar II disorder, a less serious variant of bipolar I, which was once known as manic depression. The information was naturally frightening; up to 1 in 5 people with bipolar disorder will commit suicide, and rates may even be higher for those suffering from bipolar II.
Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government.
It’s always easy to describe something complex by applying to it an already known label.
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know.
Swing voters are more appropriately known as the ‘idiot voters’ because they have no set of philosophical principles. By the age of fourteen, you’re either a Conservative or a Liberal if you have an IQ above a toaster.
There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing – but we all do and call it Hope.
Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.
