What you learn in school is the opposite of what happens in the real world. In school, you’re always worried about minimums. You have to reach 20 pages or you have to have so many slides or whatever. Then you get out in the real world and you think, ‘I have to have a minimum of 20 pages and 50 slides.’
My divorce came to me as a complete surprise. That’s what happens when you haven’t been home in eighteen years.
I don’t think Hank Greenberg thought of himself as the first Jewish baseball player – he was a baseball player who happened to be Jewish. I’m an artist who happens to be Latin.
Nobody in Hollywood ever sets out to make a bad movie ever but about 99% of the time, that’s what happens.
Credit buying is much like being drunk. The buzz happens immediately and gives you a lift… The hangover comes the day after.

What happens to the hole when the cheese is gone?
What happens on the field should stay on the field.
Whatever happens, happens because I’m trying to dot every ‘I’ and cross every ‘T.’
We have a choice about how we take what happens to us in our life and whether or not we allow it to turn us. We can become consumed by hate and darkness, or we’re able to regain our humanity somehow, or come to terms with things and learn something about ourselves.
I don’t like being disappointed by somebody I trust. Fortunately, it rarely happens.
Everything happens for a reason – I’m a believer of that for sure.
You know the fairy-tale drill, especially from the Disney versions: the heroines endure awful stuff in rites of passage that lead to a joyous resolution of, usually, marriage to a prince. ‘Into the Woods’ follows that template, then asks, ‘What happens after Happy Ever After?’
You have to think for your team-mates and give them positive response. Whatever happens as a captain you have to take the responsibility. Backing my team-mates and supporting them was the biggest learning.
Failure is inevitable; it happens all the time in a complex economy.
You have to be able to bounce back and deal with disappointment, failure and weaknesses, and a lot of that happens behind the scenes for teams that are very successful.
That’s the great thing with Lyon: we are such a competitive group of players, but we know each other so well, so what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch.
Religion can be the enemy of God. It’s often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
Traits acquired during one’s lifetime – muscles built up in the gym, for example – cannot be passed on to the next generation. Now with technology, as it happens, we might indeed be able to transfer some of our acquired traits on to our selected offspring by genetic engineering.
I feel like Hollywood likes to use gay people to tell either really sad gay stories starring straight actors, or everything’s about a struggle. Everything’s about coming out. Nothing was about just living and breathing as a human being who happens to be gay.
It doesn’t bother me or Curtis being questioned about our sexuality and it probably happens more because we’re dancers. That stereotype is disappearing, but people always made ignorant, short-sighted comments when we were growing up.
I have stopped expecting from films. What I expect never happens.
Once in a while, I write in Malay and work on something fun that’s more for the local Malaysian market, and when that happens, it’s always something really special; it speaks volumes that I’m doing it for my fans who have been there for me since day one.
Though ‘Fire and Rain’ is very personal, for other people it resonates as a sort of commonly held experience… And that’s what happens with me. I write things for personal reasons, and then in some cases it… can be a shared experience.
A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.
What happens when we’re willing to feel bad is that, sure enough, we often feel bad – but without the stress of futile avoidance. Emotional discomfort, when accepted, rises, crests, and falls in a series of waves. Each wave washes parts of us away and deposits treasures we never imagined.
Like anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.
Southwest Airlines is successful because the company understands it’s a customer service company. It also happens to be an airline.
The government must give men and women without power a real say over what happens to them, and the means of engaging in a participative, invigorated and living democracy.
Everything happens the way it’s supposed to because it’s just like cavemen – you evolve and grow and learn.
We must not always talk in the market-place of what happens to us in the forest.
It’s true: sometimes Balotelli could behave better, but it also happens to me. I have a similar character, Balotelli is also a very strong player, but if you protest against the referee for every decision, it’s logical you are going to irritate the fans.
We all have our own narrative of what human trafficking is supposed to be, but if you do a little research, human trafficking happens, in many different forms and shapes, right in our backyard.
‘The Exorcist’ is one of the finest movies ever made, and it just so happens to be a scary movie.
My mom’s a psychologist, and I think that has influenced me on a personal level. Plus, I’m just generally interested in visualization and humanity, social activity and technology, and what happens in aggregate.
Yes, the companionship is amazing. You know, you can get that physical attraction that happens is great, but then there’s an awful lot of time and the rest of the day that you have to fill.
Work hard, take it seriously, embrace your ambition. And when you’re not doing that, do something – whatever it happens to be – that taps into the part of you that makes you forget about all the rest of it.
Rap makes the conservative argument about what happens when family life is eroded either by welfare and drugs, or by the stresses and indulgences of middle-class life.
I think about people like Jeff Bezos or Reed Hastings, and I really marvel at the stamina they’ve had to keep on trucking no matter what happens.

History isn’t something you look back at and say it was inevitable, it happens because people make decisions that are sometimes very impulsive and of the moment, but those moments are cumulative realities.
Advertising is fundamentally persuasion and persuasion happens to be not a science, but an art.
If you don’t stand your ground, then all that happens is people push you backwards.
For an old spy and codebreaker like myself, nothing in the world happens by coincidence.
Italians are great improvisers. If something unforeseen happens, they throw up their hands, and they adjust.
You get traded. It happens. It’s part of the business.
Presumably what happened to Jesus was what happens to all of us when we die. We decompose. Accounts of Jesus’s resurrection and ascension are about as well-documented as Jack and the Beanstalk.
People think because I can make them laugh on the stage, I’ll be able to make them laugh in person. That isn’t the case at all. I am essentially a rather quiet, dull person who just happens to be a performer.
Invariably something happens at a U.S. Open where the golf course gets out of control one day, they have one pin that’s out of control. It always seems to happen. But they’ve gotten better about the height of the rough.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 96% how I react to it.
There was a time when a fool and his money were soon parted, but now it happens to everybody.
‘Discworld’ is taking something that you know is ridiculous and treating it as if it is serious, to see if something interesting happens when you do so.
Human beings are very good at adapting to what happens.
I don’t think you should reprimand your child for everything you’re feeling because for them it’s as serious as when something happens in our day and we get upset about it.
I think it’s important for the kids to spend quality time with their parents, and to see their parents happy and loving life, even if it so happens that they live apart. That’s a lot better than having them stay together and be miserable.
My parents were very calm about the photographers, the fans, and all that. But I understood right away that I hadn’t done anything to deserve that attention. No matter what happens, it will be there. I didn’t choose it. You just can’t take that too seriously. You need to live your life. And stay calm.
A child who does not think about what happens around him and is content with living without wondering whether he lives honestly is like a man who lives from a scoundrel’s work and is on the road to being a scoundrel.
