Before anyone else, women need to accept that neither does life stop, nor does it change for those few days in a month.
I didn’t feel a strong bond with the parents who raised me, and I had anything but a happy childhood. My mother was overly sensitive; my father, ascetic. I was neither. I felt as if I were living with complete strangers. I suspect that my parents felt the same way.
What shall I say, O Muslims, I know not myself, I am neither a Christian, nor a Jew, nor a Zoroastrian, nor a Muslim.
Critics… They’re like traffic cops. They say what they have to say, then leave, and another guy moves in ,and he has his say – and it’s often just the opposite. The result is either critical acclaim or critical murder, and neither has any bearing on my music or direction.
There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless.
People behave differently to TV stars and film stars; it’s to do with the scale of the medium. Film stars get hushed awe, TV stars get slapped on the back. Neither is good for you. Famous people don’t hear the word ‘no’ enough.
I’m a liberal – I believe in subsidies for public goods and in regulations to curb harmful externalities, but neither of those things exist when it comes to parking.
It is not Kafka’s fault that his wonderful writings have lately turned into a fad, and are read by people who have neither the ability nor the desire to absorb literature.
There is one God – supreme among gods and men – who is like mortals in neither body nor mind.
Neither Dhanush nor I have been interested in using Appa’s name ever. We have been married for eight years and I don’t think you’d have ever seen Appa at any of Dhanush’s audio release functions or movie success functions.
I am not too serious about anything. I believe you have to enjoy yourself to get the most out of your ability. I can take the criticism with the accolades. Neither affects me.
I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike; so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father.
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
As I was writing, I realised I wasn’t sufficiently extrovert to gather enough interesting souls with tall tales around me. I was no Louis Theroux. But neither was I interested in exploring my inner life in public, in the manner of a Jonathan Raban.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.
Neither soldiers nor money can defend a king but only friends won by good deeds, merit, and honesty.
It is best to rise from life as from a banquet, neither thirsty nor drunken.
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
My face hasn’t matured as I’ve grown up, and neither has my sense of humour. In the mirror, I see an older version of myself as a child, although I do have more wrinkles and freckles.
He that does good for good’s sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
Pregnancy is not a disease. The child in the womb is neither a tumor nor a parasite to be destroyed.
The evolutionary theory of senescence can be stated as follows: while bodies are not designed to fail, neither are they designed for extended operation.
Events can neither be regarded as a series of adventures nor strung on the thread of a preconceived moral. They must obey their own laws.
I’m good at keeping my physical health. My brain is not allowed to have injuries, neither is my body.
Clearly, many branches of science need an exquisite precision of timekeeping and the infinitesimal decimals of calibration, so space launches, for example, are not scheduled for leap-second dates. But society as a whole neither needs that obsessive time measurement nor is well served by it.
Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.
Thus, neither my government nor myself, personally, are without ideals and responsibilities.
I understand that one of the purposes of bipartisanship is to cram something difficult and necessary down the American people’s gullets for which neither party has the fortitude to assume full responsibility. It’s a way of turning a possible gangplank into a teeter-totter.
If gravity were somewhat stronger or weaker, stars wouldn’t exist, and neither would you. And the same can be said of other constants of physics. Several have to be ‘just right.’
Logic is neither a science nor an art, but a dodge.
Of course, neither David or myself ever saw a penny from them; it was the early days of merchandising.
I am neither a child, a young man, nor an ancient; nor am I of any caste.
Crisis alone is not enough. There must also be a basis, though it need be neither rational nor ultimately correct, for faith in the particular candidate chosen.
Neither am I on an extreme diet nor am I on an extreme workout.
I don’t consult anyone – not my mother, not my father, anyone – about my work. And I must add that neither Dad nor Mom interfere in my work.
Neither situations nor people can be altered by the interference of an outsider. If they are to be altered, that alteration must come from within.
My father, I think he played percussion in high school. My mother played piano when she was very young, but only for a brief while. I don’t think she had a great teacher. In any case, neither of them were really into music at a young age.
In the world, there are countless Sadhus, Mahatmas, Mahapurushas, Saints, Yogis, and Walis, though the number of genuine ones is very, very limited. I am neither a Mahatma nor a Mahapurush, neither a Sadhu nor a Saint, neither a Yogi nor a Wali. I am the ancient One. The Highest of the High!
And though I might have learnt more wit and advanced my understanding by living in a Court, yet being dull, fearful and bashful, I neither heeded what was said or practised, but just what belonged to my loyal duty and my own honest reputation.
It’s a form of mental and verbal gymnastics, and one of the things that appeals to me most about commenting on darts is that no one knows exactly what I’m going to come out with next – and neither do I.
We, Britain and Germany, can neither of us be happy about our handling of the Iraq war.
And in down times it shakes a lot of the bad SF out, a lot the stuff that was bought for literary reasons, which is neither entertaining nor great literature.
For God is my witness that I neither preached, affirmed, nor defended them, though they say that I did.
Neither the George W. Bush nor the Obama administrations volunteered to bail out G.M., Chrysler and other parts of the auto sector. Both subscribed firmly to the longstanding American principle that government should resolutely avoid these kinds of interventions, particularly in the industrial sector.
I am suspicious of writers who go looking for issues to address. Writers are neither preachers nor journalists. Journalists know much more than most writers about what’s going on in the world. And if you want to change things, you do journalism.
Back in the early ’70s, there were two airlines that flew puddle jumpers from the Sarasota-Bradenton airport to Atlanta: National and Eastern, neither of which exists today.
I got treated very badly in Texas. They don’t treat beatniks too good in Texas. Port Arthur people thought I was a beatnik, though they’d never seen one and neither had I.
‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.’
I am constantly swimming on the margin, neither 100% American, French, nor Lebanese. I am none of those. I am the result of those three. Sometimes it’s an asset: no one can put you in a category. That I do not make typical Lebanese, European or American films does not bother me.
Art knows neither doctrine nor idea; its nature is to show.
Despite the best of efforts, many foster children are neither reunited with their families, nor adopted.
Neither Aristotelian nor Russellian rules give the exact logic of any expression of ordinary language; for ordinary language has no exact logic.
Indiana taxpayers, retired Hoosier state policemen and teachers are neither greedy speculators nor unpatriotic. They are, however, secured creditors of Chrysler. They deserve to have their funds protected under the full auspices of the law.
Habit is a second nature which prevents us from knowing the first, of which it has neither the cruelties nor the enchantments.
An awful lot of people come to college with this strange idea that there’s no longer segregation in America’s schools, that our schools are basically equal; neither of these things is true.
A mother is neither cocky, nor proud, because she knows the school principal may call at any minute to report that her child had just driven a motorcycle through the gymnasium.
September 11 impressed upon us that life is a precious gift. Every life has a purpose. And I think we all have a duty to devote at least a small portion of our daily lives to ensuring that neither America nor the world ever forgets September 11.
