Leftists always want to… circle around subjects… rather than addressing any subject directly.
The requests for blurbs seem to come in waves. I’m not sure what precipitates them. I think it must be excruciating for editors to draft those elaborate letters asking for a blurb, and I know it’s torturous for us writers to ask directly. But publishers encourage us to. Rock and a hard place.

Social media allows comics to bypass the gatekeepers and connect directly with people who will want to come see them.
Most writers have no idea how to make a film. It’s a totally different skill set. Nor is it just to translate exactly what’s on the page directly on to the screen – because that would be terrible. It would be five hours long, and the structure would be a mess. But the writers know the characters and the story.
I really was inspired by the possibility of more directly being involved in the development of drugs myself.
It’s become a cliche to say that a piece of drama is about ‘the nature of truth.’ But ‘Rectify’ so openly plays with the slippery nature of memory that the label directly applies.
I think the best way to become a character is by osmosis as opposed to thinking directly about stuff.
You know, social media unites us with our fans, gets the middle man out of the way, and you get to directly hear what they think.
I think that a lot of terrorists have been middle class and, more surprisingly, many of them have been people who were not directly affected by the things they’re angry about.

In a sense, any story that anyone writes is going to be autobiographical – whether it deals directly with the author’s experience or not – because it captures what we’re obsessed with while working on that particular piece.
The most deeply personal of my works are the non-fiction works, the autobiographical works, because there, I’m talking about myself very directly.
Color is a power which directly influences the soul.
They made a mistake. And it was an easy mistake to make. I don’t regard setting incentives aggressively as a mistake. I think the mistake was, when the bad news came, they didn’t recognize it directly. I don’t think that impairs the future of Wells Fargo. They’ll be better for it.
The 9/11 attack was symbolic. It was not designed to cripple us economically or militarily, at least not directly. It was designed to provoke a reaction.
My contract is directly with Sony. Everybody was very fair with me. I kept my movie rights. I only gave my rights to a TV series.
The dynamic of revolutionary events is directly determined by swift, intense, and passionate changes in the psychology of classes which have already formed themselves before the revolution.
The fight against terror cannot stop as long as terrorism itself is not stopped, but the path of war must change: it must lead directly to terrorists and not be waged on the backs of three million Palestinians.

Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.

The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I’m singing directly from the heart.
I work directly for the boss. I listen to everybody, but I have one man whose voice is louder than everybody else’s.
In primitive society, man produced directly for the satisfaction of his own wants, but with the development of society came differentiation of function; exchange and barter arose, various trades sprang up, and with the necessity of commercial intercourse came the invention of money.
Even though most people won’t be directly involved with programming, everyone is affected by computers, so an educated person should have a good understanding of how computer hardware, software, and networks operate.
Music should resonate with people on an emotional level. That’s one of the criterions I use for an idea. Does it speak simply and directly without obfuscation and without being unnecessarily complex or obscure?
Tanzania sells about 50 million pounds of coffee a year to coffee-shop chains such as Starbucks and Peet’s. But Sweet Unity is the only finished, branded product from the East African country to be sold directly in the U.S.
Working with Bob Weir directly, we learned how high the bar is for Dead music.
It is true that the poet does not directly address his neighbors; but he does address a great congress of persons who dwell at the back of his mind, a congress of all those who have taught him and whom he has admired; they constitute his ideal audience and his better self.
I mean, the wonderful thing about writing a book is that you’re getting a finished product at the end of the day. You’re communicating directly with the reader.
I’m deeply impatient. If I can’t park directly in front of somewhere, I go home.
Some people believe tarot cards are a form of black magic or senseless new age mysticism but for me they are a practical way of talking directly to the universe.
The European Union, which is not directly responsible to voters, provides an irresistible opportunity for European elites to seize power in order to impose their own vision on a newly socially regimented Europe.
I love talking directly to the fans.
Each day as I travel through downtown Tucson, I am amazed at how quickly the most ancient of human behaviors have changed. For as long as there have been Homo sapiens – roughly 200,000 years – people have filled their lives principally with two activities: talking directly with other people, and doing physical things.
In sport, the money goes to the talent; it goes directly to the worker – unlike a bank, which sits in the middle of transactions and whose income bears no relation to any of the services it provides.
A.I. will make it possible for the Internet to directly engage people in the real world, through robotics and drones and little machines that will do smart things by themselves.
In Nueva Esperanza, Honduras, community members pooled their resources and organized a local water committee that with CARE’s technical guidance built a gravity-fed water system that now provides clean water directly to people’s homes.
The Republican Party is terrific at determining how a program will impact the federal budget, but we’re not nearly as good as the Democrats in explaining to people how our agenda will directly benefit them and their families.
I cannot compare and contrast Tinder and Bumble directly, but I will say that we have a very impressive, forward-thinking user base.
Now I get exposure first with people directly in the clubs. This is a unique situation for me.
I always separate myself from reviews, but tweets and Instagram comments, they go directly to my phone. It’s hard to keep up.
All wealth consists of desirable things; that is, things which satisfy human wants directly or indirectly: but not all desirable things are reckoned as wealth.

I really enjoy squeezing out a big lump of paint directly onto the canvas and leaving it; fresh, immediate and sometimes shocking.
