As you get older, some top notes drop off and bottom notes appear, which I quite like. You listen to Leonard Cohen or Johnny Cash, and you see the advantage of the lower end.
How many people make themselves abstract to appear profound. The most useful part of abstract terms are the shadows they create to hide a vacuum.
To an observer situated on the moon or on one of the planets, the most noticeable feature on the surface of our globe would no doubt be the large areas covered by oceanic water. The sunlit face of the earth would appear to shine by the light diffused back into space from the land and water-covered areas.
If a better player comes along, I will try to persuade the club to get him in. Sometimes, you can do your business and all of a sudden something appears that you never expected to appear.
For an object under the eye will appear very different from the same object placed above it; in an inclosed space, very different from the same in an open space.
Players do not come out of the closet because they are afraid. We have to appear hard and strong, but we are afraid of what people will say about us. Of course, I have nothing against anyone. I respect everybody.
Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us.
I don’t try to hide who I am when I appear in public places, act, or attend interviews. If I do, it makes the gap even wider. I like it best when someone says I’m the same on television, on camera, or off camera. This makes it easier for me.
I wanted no other job than to work in newspapers. I was fascinated by the process of collecting information, talking to people and having the story appear in a paper that would be delivered in your letterbox.
If God were to appear in my room, obviously I would be in awe, but I don’t think I would be humble. I might cry, but I think he would dig me like crazy.
I didn’t want to end up in Hollywood having facelifts and my hair dyed blond so I could appear on my own album cover.
ISIS may seem un-Islamic to President Obama, but to anybody who has read Islam’s core texts, it might appear to be a fairly straightforward attempt to create a state based on Mohammed’s instructions as laid down in the Koran, in hadith, and in Mohammed’s own example.
Reality isn’t the way you wish things to be, nor the way they appear to be, but the way they actually are.
A guy may wear a suit and have a high-paying job and appear very mature, but essentially, he’s a 14-year-old boy.
Making films is sort of like you’re pulling off a magic trick. It’s sort of like an illusion. It’s not real but you want it to appear real, and all kinds of things go into that, from the clothes you’re wearing to the make-up, to the light.
Fashion is an illusion. It’s a multibillion-pound industry that has to appear frivolous. Designers work and work and work, all night sometimes.
I used to love politics. I can’t say I do any more. All the fun has gone out of it. Each side is engaged in this trench warfare of managerialism. They’re all too scared to say anything that might make them appear something other than completely bland.
The kids you turn your backs on when you take away their stories are the ones who lose, as well as you as a community of adults who may appear to fear their truths.
There are no true friends in politics. We are all sharks circling, and waiting, for traces of blood to appear in the water.
The IMF and other multilateral institutions do not appear to have prevented nations from manipulating the value of their own currencies.
It would be a dream come true to appear on Turner Classic Movies with Robert Osborne, who is one of my heroes.
I’m just happy to have some American readers – enough that it’s a viable proposition for my books to appear there.
I’m not fancy. I’m what I appear to be.
My experience with casting children is that… the whole movie is going to rest on their shoulders, so you have to set aside time and wait for the perfect people to appear.
I have too much respect for people to try to control them. But they are estranged from love, afraid to reach out and touch one another. We’re afraid to appear sentimental or speak in platitudes because people will say, ‘What a jerk!’ It takes courage in our culture to be a lover.
Once the words of a book appear onscreen, they are no longer simply themselves; they have become a part of something else. They now occupy the same space, not only as every other digital text, but as every other medium, too.
My approach has never been to start from theories to arrive at facts, but on the contrary, to try to bring out from the facts the explanatory thread without which they appear incomprehensible and elude effective action.
The uninitiated have real questions and valid concerns over how the things of God appear to them.
The aging process is not gradual or gentle. It rushes up, pushes you over, and runs off laughing. No one should grow old who isn’t ready to appear ridiculous.
I have accordingly considered it, and now appear not only in obedience to your order, but likewise in behalf of the inhabitants of this town, who have presented another petition, and out of regard to the liberties of the subject.
I am often drawn to what appear at first to be ‘dark’ or ‘difficult’ subjects, but which, upon further examination, are always and only reflections of the ways human beings attempt, however clumsily, badly, or well, to connect with others.
Think about all the great boxers who have fought here, starting with Muhammad Ali. And as well as all that, I believe I will be the first boxer from Liverpool to appear at the Garden.
From the intrinsic evidence of his creation, the Great Architect of the Universe now begins to appear as a pure mathematician.
At the moment, I have it planned as a six or seven year experiment, but the books will only ever appear in bursts like this every couple of years and only with the best quality artists.
There are people who appear on television who are paid for by shadowy think tanks whose financing they won’t come clean about.
I can be incredibly focused, and I can appear impatient. So I’ve learned to slow down, get to know people, and provide more context. There’s nothing wrong with getting to the point pretty quickly, but it’s also helpful to give people an opportunity to talk about their work.
It always seems odd to me that the fundamental laws of physics, when discovered, can appear in so many different forms that are not apparently identical at first, but, with a little mathematical fiddling, you can show the relationship.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Cure yourself of the affliction of caring how you appear to others. Concern yourself only with how you appear before God, concern yourself only with the idea that God may have of you.
It is never wise to try to appear to be more clever than you are. It is sometimes wise to appear slightly less so.
I think that there are many aspects to the relationship between humans and animals. But briefly, humans appear to have always been fascinated by them from the time of cave paintings and before.
Hedwig is on a quest; she’s on a quest as much as Jason and the Argonauts, as much as the boy in ‘A.I.’ She’s looking for something. She’s looking for her other half, and she’s on tour. Monsters, Cyclops – maybe they’re her mom? – appear on various islands.
Technically, Trump and Putin did appear on the same episode of ’60 Minutes.’ In two completely unrelated segments, that were shot in different cities, in different countries, on different continents.
Entrepreneurs, guys that start businesses, grow with them. It’s more painful than it would appear.
Look at how the British covered India with railroads, and it is easy to view them as modernisers. Look, however, at the abysmal levels of mass illiteracy in the subcontinent they left behind in 1947, and they appear rather differently.
In principle the great religions of the world do not differ as much as they appear to.
We urgently need more trees, but we appear to believe that the only means of restoring them is planting. We have a national obsession with tree planting, which is in danger of becoming as tokenistic as bamboo toothbrushes and cotton tote bags.
Whether I appear in ‘Avatar 2’ or ‘Avatar 3’, I always feel I’m a part of the ‘Avatar’ team.
I’ll say that technology will make revolutions start happening faster, but it’ll make them harder to finish. Technology can’t create leaders and cause institutions to appear.
Comments like ‘he’s not committed’ or ‘he’s not good enough’ appear as soon as you are not 110 per cent. I find it quite annoying how people read into stuff and form their own opinions.
I don’t believe in devils. Indifference and misunderstandings can create evil situations. Most of the time, people who appear to be evil are really victims of evil deeds.
We get so much in the habit of wearing disguises before others that we finally appear disguised before ourselves.
I absolutely love ‘Big Brother’ and ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ and have never missed a series – but I would never appear on them.
Usually, the leaders appear in the moment of the highest stress, when it is time, speaking symbolically, to go to the barricades. Then people, clever, capable, but focused on their own tasks, will leave their immediate occupations and go to the barricades, because there is nowhere to hide.
