I understand that computers, which I once believed to be but a hermaphrodite typewriter-cum-filing cabinet, offer the cyber literate increased ability to communicate. I do not think this is altogether a bad thing, however it may appear on the surface.
I don’t think Mourinho wants to have friends, or maybe that’s just the way he likes to appear.
I’ve done a number of things in the spirit of employee motivation. I tend to be a storyteller and a student of history. I often tell stories of great battles, like the battle of Thermopylae, to inspire teams who face what appear to be insurmountable odds.
I always want to be – and appear to be – competent. When I don’t achieve that, I don’t respond well.
First of all, just because the Tea Party people appear to be generally uneducated, ignorant about the political process, ignorant about economics, confused about their own platform from the beginning, and indelicate when it comes to the craft of diplomacy, doesn’t mean they’re wrong.
I think I appear very innocent and soft, but I’m actually very dark and edgy. It’s a weird dichotomy.
I’ve no wish to appear in celebrity magazines.
I want to be an artist that grows slowly. If you appear overnight, there’s a chance that you will also just disappear overnight.
I mention this fact as tending to support what I have often heard stated, namely, that a shark’s sense of smell is so keen that, if men ever bathe in seas where they are found, a shark is almost sure to appear directly afterwards.
The rhythm of relations of color and size makes the absolute appear in the relativity of time and space.
I absolutely love to work and when they asked me to appear on ‘Edge of Night’ I thought it would be great fun.
I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.
The way people appear in the gossip papers, as they’re depicted as celebrities, it’s not often much like who they are. The more people I meet, the more that’s true. Sometimes, they’re worse.
On bad days, I like to wear something colourful so I strike attention. That’s how I appear confident to others – and how I get confident.
As successful as it may appear I am, I don’t really feel that. It’s like, you know you’ve achieved some level of success, and you know what you’ve done, and yet you still feel you have more to do and more to prove.
To some extent, people who are insane are nonconformists, and society and their family wish they would live what appear to be useful lives.
It’s funny, we appear as robots from another world, but what we do, what the robots create, is really human after all.
On a sea floor that looks like a sandy mud bottom, that at first glance might appear to be sand and mud, when you look closely and sit there as I do for a while and just wait, all sorts of creatures show themselves, with little heads popping out of the sand. It is a metropolis.
‘Comfort Me with Apples’ is a love story, or better, two love stories. And since it deals with a later period in my life, most of the people who appear in it are living.

‘The Flintstones’ was the first animated series to appear on nighttime TV.
The first thing you have to get when you play somebody iconic is you have to get lucky. More than anything else, you have to make a leap of faith and know that somewhere, the net will appear, and you’ll find your way.
Telling your story out loud is the way human beings communicate. We don’t normally think up words, translate how to spell them and then move our fingers up and down over this randomly arranged set of keys to make the same letters appear on a screen.
Even the acceptance of personal responsibility may not overcome the temptation to believe that now is not the time to repent. ‘Now’ can seem so difficult, and ‘later’ appear so much easier. The truth is that today is always a better day to repent than any tomorrow.
New highways, ports, and runways appear economically foolish if we don’t understand the economic growth that flows from such investments.
I have tried to create main characters who are drastically different from the types who generally appear in crime novels. Mikael Blomkvist, for instance, doesn’t have ulcers or booze problems or an anxiety complex. He doesn’t listen to operas, nor does he have an oddball hobby such as making model airplanes.
I have developed a Zen-like approach to the operating systems that people use: ‘When you’re ready, the right operating system will appear in your life.’
Some Iraqi troops aren’t willing to fight for their government. But many Shiites appear willing to fight for their religious leaders.
Thanks to Cheran, I play a city girl in ‘Mayakkannadi.’ I appear in trendy costumes and have more scope to perform.
The conflict between secular Zionism and the settler movement did not appear overnight following Israel’s conquests in the 1967 war, for there was an argument that bridged the gap: security.
People have a false understanding of what our legal system is like – how it works/operates – from shows like ‘Law and Order,’ which suggest that lawyers appear on demand and do a tremendous amount of investigation and background research.
We are what we think we are – not what we appear to be on the outside.
Keynes was scarcely a ‘revolutionary’ in any real sense. He possessed the tactical wit to dress up ancient statist and inflationist fallacies with modern, pseudoscientific jargon, making them appear to be the latest findings of economic science.
The problem of moral change would appear to be one of presenting stimuli which are both sufficiently incongruous as to stimulate conflict in the child’s existing stage schemata and sufficiently congruous as to be assimilable with some accomodative effort.
In general, all cancers have been traditionally characterized by the way they appear under the microscope and the organs in which they arise.
Mobs and dictators were made for each other, and when mobs appear, dictators will soon flourish.
You know, it is a terrible thing to appear on television, because people think that you actually know what you’re talking about.

If God had meant Harvard professors to appear in People magazine, She wouldn’t have invented The New York Review of Books.
I started out writing when I was young; stuff about exposing the truth about how people are not what they appear, about how they are much more dysfunctional than they seem. Pulling back the curtain – that felt smart. But as I got older, exposing how frail people can be seems less and less deep.
I still feel that in India we look upon sports as a recreational activity – which it is – but people have to understand that there is a career in sports. It’s not just necessary to be a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer, as most of us Indians appear to think that our children should grow up to be.
Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man’s struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.
If you can do a lot of pull-ups, you don’t just appear to be strong. You are strong.
No matter how correct a mathematical theorem may appear to be, one ought never to be satisfied that there was not something imperfect about it until it also gives the impression of being beautiful.
There should be a response, clearly, if there was meddling. And it does appear that there was some, and therefore, we perhaps should wait for our own investigation by Mr. Mueller to continue and to come to a conclusion before we begin to take steps regarding the Russians.
People lie in everyday conversation to appear more likeable and competent. While men and women lie equally as often, they tend to lie for different reasons.
If I were ever in a position to appear more for ROH, I would accept nothing less than to be recognized as the best – which would mean having to challenge the top dogs/champions.
From time to time, there are people in the film industry who appear on the horizon with a unique vision. South African director Neill Blomkamp is one of those rare people.
We have to make sure the music and the message and the words and all the elements come through in our songs and every time we appear in public.
One thing Jim McGreevey wants the world to know: Leading a double life as a gay man trying to appear straight was easy for him to pull off. He was ‘good’ at it. Not only that – it helped him become a better politician.
If my books appear to a reader to be oversimplified, then you shouldn’t read them: You’re not the audience!
Words began to appear in English and to make some kind of equivalent. For what satisfaction it is hard to say, except that something seems unusually piercing, living, handsome, in another language, and since English is yours, you wish it to be there too.
Few of the early houses in New England were painted, or colored, as it was called, either without or within. Painters do not appear in any of the early lists of workmen.
