MaxCoin is competing for the crypto buck, if you will. So is Bitcoin, so is Dogecoin. Alt-coins are proving to be formidable because there’s a solid community behind it, there’s a use for it, and it’s got a great market capitalisation. I think that’s going to be a winner.
Max Keiser

There’s only so many guys on a football team that really have a voice.

Why not? Make the world a better place.

Alton Brown
Music’s been around a long time, and there’s going to be music long after Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark, leave something musically good behind. If it’s a big record, that’s the frosting on the cake, but music’s the main meal.
Ray Charles

With me, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly, I know on-screen we are these brothers whose bond can’t be broken, and we are this faction. I promise you, it’s very real behind the scenes, too. I’ve known those guys for years. We travel together all the time; we talk every single day.

My grandmother and I followed my mother here, to a house a block north of Hollywood Boulevard but a million miles away from Hollywood, if you know what I mean. We would hang out behind the ropes and look at the movie stars arriving at the premieres.

Michael Korda
I can put my legs behind my head and sing ‘Happy Birthday.’ Because that’s something that me and my friends used to do when we were in gymnastics class as kids, and I can still do it. I was doing it since I was 8 and 9. They used to call me Gumby. Very bendy.

I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the thi

Gina Barreca
I had been obsessed with insects and creepy-crawlies: I used to get up at five o’clock in the morning and go out into this field behind our garden and collect insects before everyone else got up, and suddenly, all I wanted to know about was music. It just seemed a very, very strange thing.

Amanda Burton
What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn’t everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
Pablo Picasso
It’s easier to play quirky characters and hide behind wardrobe and make-up, especially.
William Sanderson
If coming events are said to cast their shadows before, past events cannot fall to leave their impress behind them.
Helena Blavatsky
A lot of what I’ve done as Nine Inch Nails has been governed by fear. I was trying to keep the songs in a framework that was tough, and I learnt a lot from Jesus and Mary Chain about how to bury nice pop songs in unlistenable noise – the idea being if you can get behind that wall, you find there’s a pearl inside.

Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law.
Hubert H. Humphrey
It’s the same with success and failure. There’s always the momentum thing, but you just have to put whatever happened in the past behind you.
Ben Stokes
It’s better to negotiate behind closed doors than it is to be out throwing rocks at one another in the public square.

W. S. Merwin

A prayer that must have a cannon behind it better never be uttered. Forgiveness ought not to go in partnership with shot and shell. Love need not carry knives and revolvers.
Robert Green Ingersoll
You never know what’s going on in someone’s life. You never know what’s really going on behind what they present.
Hill Harper
I was a rabid 'Seinfeld' fan. Then I did the show, and

I was a rabid ‘Seinfeld’ fan. Then I did the show, and it ruined the show for me. Not that it ruined the quality of the show, but I had seen behind the curtain at Oz.
W. Earl Brown
In many ways the film business is behind what’s going on culturally. We are a world that is becoming more diverse and there’s no going back.
Rick Famuyiwa
I can do an hour-long speech about Democrats taking African Americans for granted, and I’d have a line behind me of very prominent African-Americans who would say, ‘Amen.’
Emanuel Cleaver
Seeing our VH-1 Behind the Music shows just how dysfunctional some of the moments of the band were but this new line-up has put the fun back in dysfunction.
James Young
The idea behind reinforcement learning is you don’t necessarily know the actions you might take, so you explore the sequence of actions you should take by taking one that you think is a good idea and then observing how the world reacts. Like in a board game where you can react to how your opponent plays.
Jeff Dean
I’m very competitive by nature. And I like to be the underdog – It’s the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!
Zac Efron
So what’s really behind the ‘English Only’ Movement? Fear. Fear of being taken over and one day they will have to learn something different. Heaven forbid they would have to learn something new.
Cheech Marin
Behind me the branches of a wasted and sterile existence are cracking.
Gustav Mahler
When I play in the Super Bowl, the biggest stage we have, I have to give up the first touchdown. To make it worse, I’m running behind the guy, not next to him.
Jason Sehorn
You know, it helps having an African American driver behind the wheel. I’m representing that culture and that background. But a lot of background pressure, I don’t really put that on me. I know I have enough pressure to go out and perform every week.
Bubba Wallace
Synergy is the VCR of media right now – discredited, outdated and left behind.
David Zinczenko
Some amazing records have this power to leave you with inspiration; you’re left with the urge to write something. And some records are totally overwhelming, because they are so good, they burn the bridges behind them.
Thomas Mars
Empires inevitably fall, and when they do, history judges them for the legacies they leave behind.
Noah Feldman
Instead of picking your career and backfilling your life behind that, what if you pick your life and backfill your career with whatever is left over?
Bob Goff
You could see the flames and the outer skin of the spacecraft glowing; and burning, baseball-size chunks flying off behind us. It was an eerie feeling, like being a gnat inside a blowtorch flame.
William Anders
When I am brushing my teeth, I’m bending my leg behind me, or I’m lifting my leg up and holding it in that position so I’m squeezing my butt in. I can do that while I’m washing or slicing vegetables, too. Or I go up and down on my toes, working my calves a little bit.
Christie Brinkley
I think it’s difficult to say what exactly made me become a successful DJ. It depends on so many different things. If I were given an award, I would thank my family, friends, Tiesto and the great team behind me for all their support and hard work. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Martin Garrix
There’s a certain groove you pick that makes the music flow, and when you have it it’s in your pocket. It’s the feeling behind the rhythm… to me, the hardest thing to strive for is that feeling, behind the groove.
Max Weinberg
I followed the footsteps of Scarface, Willie D, Bushwick Bill, Big Pokey, Lil Keke, Fat Pat, Big Moe, and Slim Thug. Those are the people who I was following behind, not the white rappers who came before me. No disrespect intended, I just didn’t follow that lane, I followed this one.
Paul Wall
Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy.
Franz Kafka
I look three to five years ahead, not 10 years behind.
Magic Johnson
Producers generally don’t like me; directors do, generally. Convincing the producers is hard. They can’t see the commercial value behind such a face, nor would they get a commercial value, necessarily – and I don’t mean that in a good way or a bad way.
Amanda Plummer
Beauty is a combination of qualities. I don’t think one can deny that certain people or things feel aesthetically pleasing. But without an equally pleasing being behind that form, there is no beauty there.
Teri Hatcher
First and foremost I am a chef, whether behind the stove at one of my Northern California restaurants or for the past 15 years in front of the camera on my Food Network cooking shows. Creating new dishes and flavor combinations that bring cooks and our restaurant guests pleasure is my job and I love it.
Tyler Florence
I have been told by hospital authorities that more copies of my works are left behind by departing patients than those of any other author.
Robert Benchley
A lot of hard work is hidden behind nice things.
Ralph Lauren
I love the mystery behind things.
Janelle Monae
Don’t think that there’s a different, better child ‘hiding’ behind the autism. This is your child. Love the child in front of you. Encourage his strengths, celebrate his quirks, and improve his weaknesses, the way you would with any child. You may have to work harder on some of this, but that’s the goal.
Claire Scovell LaZebnik
You have to take all the ups and downs that come your way like a pinch of salt. Just leave everything behind. Forgive and forget.
Amruta Khanvilkar
If you watch wrestling like I do, you watch for the wrestling. There’s so much talking. There’s some ‘twit’ back there with a pencil behind his ear writing down all these things for wrestlers to say.
Bret Hart
I wanted to have a body of work behind me before I wrote about racism.
Malorie Blackman
All faith consists essentially in the recognition of a

All faith consists essentially in the recognition of a world of spiritual values behind, yet not apart from, the world of natural phenomena.
William Inge
There is still a difference between something and nothing, but it is purely geometrical and there is nothing behind the geometry.
Martin Gardner
We started at once to dig our trenches, half of my platoon stepping forward abreast, the men being placed an arm’s length apart. After laying their rifles down, barrels pointing to the enemy, a line was drawn behind the row of rifles and parallel to it.
Fritz Kreisler
All celebrities are real people behind everything.
Vinny Guadagnino
I shop at a lot of vintage stores because the prices are amazing, and I love the idea that there’s a history behind the piece I’m wearing.
Gabrielle Anwar
Behind every piece of paper lies a human situation.
Edward T. Hall
Behind every corrupt politician are 10-20 corrupt businessmen.
Mo Ibrahim
In mountaineering, there is not only the activity, but the philosophy behind it. Some say a moral, but I am against that because all morality is dangerous.
Reinhold Messner
I’m eighteen years behind in my ironing.
Phyllis Diller
Everyone is battling something emotional behind closed doors – that’s life.
Caroline Flack
Be able to recognize many of the major constellations and know the stories behind them.
Marilyn vos Savant
My mother is the most incredible woman on this entire Earth, and she’s so giving and loving and sweet and she always raised me how to forgive and forget and move on. She’s the catalyst behind it all, my mom is. And I’m 100% a momma’s boy!
Brody Jenner
No individual has any right to come into the world and go out of it without leaving behind him distinct and legitimate reasons for having passed through it.
George Washington Carver
There’s some new evidence that has just come out about the CIA planning terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in the ’60s and how they were going to set up Castro for it in order to get America behind a war in Cuba.
Aaron McGruder
As we become so visible in the digital world and leave an endless trail of data behind us, exactly who has our data and what they do with it becomes increasingly important.
Peter Gabriel
Real obsession needs an unconscious motivation behind it.
Damon Galgut
If I can just be thought of as Omari Hardwick who had a really, really solid career, and whose work is appreciated in its own right, I think that would be a great legacy to leave behind.
Omari Hardwick
People tend to think of Brisbane as a sleepy, sub-topical place. I don’t know. It’s like Baltimore or something. I don’t know. You would hear the family dramas going on behind closed doors.
Geoffrey Rush
As Chloe, I can honestly say I’ve never uttered a syllable of a curse word, not even behind closed doors.
Chloe Grace Moretz
I played behind Phil Thompson and Alan Hansen, and they were both brilliant centre-halves.
Bruce Grobbelaar
You can tell the strength of a nation by the women behind its men.
Benjamin Disraeli
The fact is that the rich are getting richer while the poor are being left behind. Women remain under-represented in boardrooms and under-engaged in the global workforce. Environmental change is leaving the poorest countries vulnerable. Voters are becoming more and more politically polarised and partisan.
Richard Quest
All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force… We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.
Max Planck
My arse contemplates those who talk behind my back.
Francis Picabia
How does a project get to be a year behind schedule? One day at a time.
Fred Brooks
What joy would I get from putting the wrong person behind bars?
Nancy Grace
Fashion is kinda a joke. I don’t get too bogged down in the clothes. For me, it’s one big art project, just a canvas to show that fashion should have a brand which has someone behind it who cares about different contexts. Social things.
Virgil Abloh
When I was flying to Rome, we flew over London; I felt like bursting into tears. It’s part of me, so I can’t leave London behind for good.
Robert Pattinson
The truth is that intelligence, knowledge, and domain expertise are vastly overrated as the driving forces behind competitive advantage and sustainable success.
Patrick Lencioni
I’m proud of Lord of the Rings. I think it’s a once in a lifetime role, and a once in a lifetime film. It was made with so much care and passion and meticulous detail and everybody was so behind it.
Sean Bean
The great thing about Snapchat is your fans can get a detailed experience of what your life is like behind the scenes.
Antonio Brown
Negative thinking is subtle and deceptive. It wears man

Negative thinking is subtle and deceptive. It wears many faces and hides behind the mask of excuses. It is important to strip away the mask and discover the real, root emotion.
Robert H. Schuller
There is lots of my work that takes place behind closed doors that is not ever seen.
Amal Clooney
People feel so much more comfortable bullying behind a screen than in person. It gives them a mystique and makes them say things that they would never be strong enough to say in person.
Cody Simpson
Klopp would reproach me for not tracking back properly. I took things on board, and I listened to him. I worked hard in training; I stayed behind after training. That’s what helped me to shine in the Bundesliga because I scored quite a lot of goals despite some difficult games in the league.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
My idea behind the film was to show the struggles an athlete continually endures. There is always a story behind a successful sportsperson. In ‘Soorma,’ we have tried to recreate that.
Sandeep Singh
I think with challenges, you either overcome them or you fall behind and become a statistic.
Martin Klebba
If we think we have ours and don’t owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.
Marian Wright Edelman
Too many people feel stuck in the middle – not wealthy by any measure, but doing just well enough that the social safety net isn’t there for them. They feel left behind by a system that isn’t listening to them and an economy that isn’t rewarding them for their hard work.
Roy Cooper
What I love most about icons is finding out what’s behind them, exploring the price of their power.
Joss Whedon
Age, they say, is only important if you’re cheese. or a wine. They also say, if you are stuck behind one on a golf course, that a tree is 90 per cent air. How come, then, that you invariably send your ball crashing into the remaining 10 per cent?
Terry Wogan
When you’re hiding behind a character all the time, as soon as you have to be yourself, you feel kind of terrified.
Sheridan Smith
Thinking ahead or thinking behind is not good for me.
Sandra Oh
Nnutthowze was a group I was in back when I wa,s like, 18, 19 maybe. It was DJ Icy Rock, my deceased friend Brian Dennis, the mastermind behind it, and a host of other cats.
Tech N9ne
When I found Freestyle Fellowship, I started getting into the construction of rap. You get better at it the more you do it; you figure out the science and the math behind it.
Chance The Rapper
In Atlanta, my mom came and came downstairs and we were talking like behind the crowd. People from the crowd saw me and started running towards me, asking for pictures and stuff. This girl asked for a picture, and after she got it, she passed out.
Lil Mosey
I love fairy tales because I think that behind fairy tales, there is always a meaning.
Monica Bellucci
If you behind me, I’m not going to look back and try and figure out what you’re doing behind me.
Future
And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart, till the Devil whispered behind the leaves ‘It’s pretty, but is it Art?’
Rudyard Kipling
One of the main inspirations behind The Power of Makeup was bullies and the one thing I believe in is that makeup is not just society, it’s for you.
NikkieTutorials
You learn to rely on a few basic movements and use your voice to the greatest extent possible to convey your emotions. So there was a technical challenge there and a responsibility to create a character from behind the mask.
Helena Bonham Carter
I suppose that every one of us hopes secretly for immortality; to leave, I mean, a name behind him which will live forever in this world, whatever he may be doing, himself, in the next.
A. A. Milne
An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock; it’s beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth… Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.
Pope Francis
Rugby is a game that’s constant. If you are not growing with it, you get left behind.
Owen Farrell
Nobody likes to feel like they are being torn apart behind their back.
Camille Grammer
To have family behind you who love you more than words can say gives you so much confidence, because it allows you to go off and be who you want to be.
Cat Deeley
Scientists want to know the evidence behind a statement; they want reproducible tests and verifiable facts. There is a big difference in the thought process of a trial lawyer who is interested not in what’s true but what he can convince a jury is true.
Bill Foster
Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday’s success or put its failures behind and start over again. That’s the way life is, with a new game every day, and that’s the way baseball is.
Bob Feller
Sponsorship is sometimes about people behind the scenes who are sitting in rooms determining your assignments and your next career step, and you don’t even know who they are.
Cathy Engelbert
I love going to the Via Giulia, a beautiful old cobbled street, which has a bridge at one end behind the Palazzo Farnese. It has long creepers hanging from it, and is the most evocative, beautiful place to stand and enjoy the city.
Ed Stoppard
I sat behind Thurman Thomas for my first couple of years, then my first year starting I won the Heisman. After I won the Heisman, that’s when things changed as far as going to the NFL.
Barry Sanders
Behind every great man is his wife trying to keep him alive.
Justin Baldoni
North Carolina is not going to be left behind.

North Carolina is not going to be left behind.
Terry Sanford
I stand behind these words: I’m a Christian, but I’m not perfect.
NF
I honestly believe that people sit behind their computers and just get really brave.
Leslie Jones
I love the whole idea of family and what gets left behind when you are gone. I’m very proud of my children; I was one of seven.
Dick Strawbridge
Nobody really knows who I am, where I came from, what’s in my heart, why I believe in the things I believe, what I see behind the scenes and they don’t see.
Hope Solo
I’m standing behind a wall of jokes. You don’t know about my personal life, my girlfriends, or what I do when I’m not on the road. There’s this guy, this comedian, and this is how he thinks, but people really don’t know anything about me.
Steven Wright
I felt devalued and disrespected. The energy behind it felt disingenuous and motivated by corporate profit.
Lisa Bonet
Who cares about great marks left behind? We have one life… just one. Our life. We have nothing else.
Ugo Betti
The inspiration behind ‘1950’ was… gay history and the way that our people had to hide in public and how that affected the way that we love each other now.
King Princess
Your battles inspired me – not the obvious material battles but those that were fought and won behind your forehead.
James Joyce
A great artist is always before his time or behind it.
George Edward Moore
The way my father worked altruistically and the manner in which he used to go behind bars and come back home smilingly was inspirational.
Asma Jahangir
I don’t try and copy anyone in T20 cricket. My cricketing shots are inside out, behind the bowler, and other shots I have developed.
Ajinkya Rahane
Bliss is the ocean, a towel on the sand, the sun out, the chance to swim in waves or walk dragging a stick behind you, a good book, a cold drink.
Deb Caletti
Life is a hideous thing, and from the background behind what we know of it peer daemoniacal hints of truth which make it sometimes a thousandfold more hideous.
H. P. Lovecraft
My biography of Frank Sinatra is not paean to his music but rather an illumination of the man behind the music, who once described himself as ‘an 18-karat manic-depressive who lived a life of violent emotional contradictions with an over-acute capacity for sadness as well as happiness.’
Kitty Kelley
The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind.
Brian May
In a higher phase of communist society… only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
Karl Marx
No child should be left behind – I’ve heard this from President Obama. And here, we say in Latin America, no country should be left behind.
Sebastian Pinera
As a historian, I’m sceptical about conspiracy theories because the world is far too complicated to be managed by a few billionaires drinking scotch behind some closed doors. But I do think that the voters are correct in sensing that they’re really losing power. And in reaction, they give the system an angry kick.
Yuval Noah Harari
When lorry drivers come up behind me and I’m cycling, innocently keeping to my side of the road, and they decide because they are so big, and their lorry is so powerful, and they just want to clear me out of the road, and they hoot aggressively, then I do see red a bit. I do.
Boris Johnson
Have you ever walked along a shoreline, only to have your footprints washed away? That’s what Alzheimer’s is like. The waves erase the marks we leave behind, all the sand castles. Some days are better than others.
Pat Summitt
I am focused on building a stronger Canada, a country where we tackle growing inequality, where we unlock the full potential of our citizens and where no one is left behind.
Jagmeet Singh
No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.
Godfrey Winn
No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
Taylor Swift
You don’t quit because you happen to be behind. You want to see how you do. And who knows? Maybe somebody will stumble.
Ron Paul
I’m often accused of being ahead of my time, but it’s simply not true. The truth is that everybody else is behind.
Brian Eno
The nice thing about ‘Samson & Delilah’ is that the team behind it are real hustlers – they really want it to happen.
Ace Young
I’m in awe of the universe, but I don’t necessarily believe there’s an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic.
David Bowie
I just want credit for my ideas, because I am the creative force behind TLC.
Lisa Lopes
I don’t think immortality is necessarily the key to understanding the world. You have to be careful with what you think you’re achieving. I’m all for science discovering amazing and fantastic things about our world, but I think the motivations behind it are slightly askew.
Reggie Watts
What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.
Henry David Thoreau
Because the nights bring the threat of invasion and terror to the villages, thousands of children in northern Uganda have become night commuters, leaving the nightmare of capture behind for the safety of the city.
Sam Childers
In my life, I was always floating around the edge of the dark side and saying what if take it a little bit too far, and who says you have to stop there, and what’s behind the next door. Maybe you gain a wisdom from examining those things. But after a while, you get too far down in the quicksand.
Trent Reznor
Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt for woman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The wild, cruel beast is not behind the bars of the cage. He is in front of it.
Axel Munthe
Everyone wants to get behind the red rope, but actually: be yourself, don’t believe what you see, don’t believe all this marketing.
Daphne Guinness
Men lose all the material things they leave behind them in this world, but they carry with them the reward of their charity and the alms they give. For these, they will receive from the Lord the reward and recompense they deserve.
Francis of Assisi
No one realizes how much pain is hidden behind my smile.
Rakhi Sawant
It’s strange that we create tech and then we apply it to machines, when we could apply it to ourselves. Cars can now detect if something is behind them, but we don’t have this ability. Why are we applying such a simple sense to a car when we could apply it to ourselves?
Neil Harbisson
White Americans today don’t know what in the world to do because when they put us behind them, that’s where they made their mistake… they put us behind them, and we watched every move they made.
Fannie Lou Hamer
No one knows what goes on behind any front door.
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
Logic is the last scientific ingredient of Philosophy; its extraction leaves behind only a confusion of non-scientific, pseudo problems.
Rudolf Carnap
Immortality is to live your life doing good things, and leaving your mark behind.
Brandon Lee
I’m from the South, where if you walk down the street and there’s somebody behind you talking with a Southern accent, you can’t tell whether it’s a black or a white person.
Johnnie Cochran
Anytime you’re rewarded for the success you have, you’re going to be happy because you put the body of work in. A lot of hard work. A lot of training. A lot of things you do behind the scenes.
Aaron Donald
Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.
William S. Burroughs
I played some ping pong with the guys on the T’Wolves team. I might have been the champ on that team, too. But ping pong is a big part of my life. I grew up playing it against my brother and my father when I was young. They used to kick my behind for a long time, so I got very good at it.
Christian Laettner
I guess my feeling is is that if you’re going to make a joke, that’s fine, but you should also sort of stand behind it, you know? A joke should be more than a joke, it should be a point that you’re trying to make.
Adam Carolla
The fact is, that with the creation of the Jewish state in 1948, hundreds of thousands of Jews fled Arab countries, almost all of whom left behind all their property for which compensation was never paid.
Meir Kahane
While Pickstown may not be what it once was, it still is framed by the natural beauty of the ancient river, the sweep of the Great Plains, and the long, unbroken shoreline of the lake behind the dam. It gave me a 19th-century childhood in a modern mid-20th-century town, and for that I will always be grateful.
Tom Brokaw
That’s the thing about awards – it’s for the people who do all the hard work behind the scenes. An award is just a clap at them.
Sia
You have no idea how many doors closed on me and how many adults were either initially reluctant to take a chance working with me or who outright laughed at me behind my back.
Kendall Jenner
The U.S. has the finest research scientists in the world, but we are falling far behind other countries, like South Korea and Singapore, that are moving forward with embryonic stem cell research.
Louise Slaughter
Meaning and reality were not hidden somewhere behind things, they were in them, in all of them.
Hermann Hesse
I could never understand how we could put 120,000 Japanese behind a fence in World War II. I remember being bewildered about that.
Phil Donahue
On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no veteran behind.
Dan Lipinski
Congress suffers a great deal of criticism for its partisan acrimony. But while we may disagree politically, and air our opposition in this chamber, it is the conversation behind the scenes that cements and defines our relationships.
Kay Bailey Hutchison
I had been educated in the rhythms of the mountain, rhythms in which change was never fundamental, only cyclical. The same sun appeared each morning, swept over the valley, and dropped behind the peak. The snows that fell in winter always melted in the spring.
Tara Westover
One of my earliest memories is walking up a muddy road into the mountains. It was raining. Behind me, my village was burning. When there was school, it was under a tree. Then the United Nations came. They fed me, my family, my community.
Ban Ki-moon
Sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is the one they would like to show to the world… Every so often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe.
Irving Penn
I live on a ranch in Utah for now, but I’m gonna move. I’ve got another ranch to move to, but its location is a secret. When I get there, I’m gonna plow the road in behind me.
Wilford Brimley
A good leader doesn't get stuck behind a desk.

A good leader doesn’t get stuck behind a desk.
Richard Branson
Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.
Groucho Marx
Many people work behind a music project, but hardly get recognised.
Gopi Sundar
For men, privacy means not being told stuff that would hurt. For women, secrecy is having stuff go on behind your back.
A. A. Gill
Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster, and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy.
Michael J. Saylor
Behind every successful enterprise, there is a supporting wife and surprised in-laws.
Scott Cook
I feel that it is healthier to look out at the world through a window than through a mirror. Otherwise, all you see is yourself and whatever is behind you.
Bill Withers
When you win a Grand Prix, it’s the culmination of everything coming together. Not just trackside, but behind the scenes.
Christian Horner
Self-respect is nothing to hide behind. When you need it most it isn’t there.
May Sarton
I have departed from this planet and I have left behind my poor earthly ones with their occupations which are as many as they are useless; at last I am living in the scintillating splendor of the stars, each of which used to seem to me as large as millions of suns.
Jules Massenet
My passion is definitely to be behind the plate for as long as I can.
Buster Posey
I’m always going to stand up for my beliefs and stand behind them.
Ayesha Curry
The world changes, and if you don’t go with the change, you’re left behind.
Harley Race
World Cup 2003 was the worst phase in my career, but that is now behind me, and I am doing all-out efforts to get my place in the team back and further my career.
Inzamam-ul-Haq
In a crisis, don’t hide behind anything or anybody. They’re going to find you anyway.
Bear Bryant
Me personally, I want to entertain people above all. When you look back at burlesque in history and the real golden age of burlesque, those entertainers were there to entertain, and there wasn’t usually some big political message behind what they were doing.
Dita Von Teese
It is not whether your words or actions are tough or gentle; it is the spirit behind your actions and words that announces your inner state.
Rene Char
NASCAR stepped up their safety concepts, and I think the drivers feel NASCAR is doing everything that can be done. So we are a little behind NASCAR in that respect. Someone in NASCAR realized there were certain things that could be done to make it safer. The same thing has to happen in football.
Jim Brown
It’s sad that we never get trained to leave assumptions behind.
Sebastian Thrun
It’s great that we all talk about investment, but there needs to be action behind it as well. If we don’t push for the change for women’s football to go in the right direction, then it won’t come by itself.
Ada Hegerberg
I’ve had such a hard time with dyslexia my whole life. When I was a child, I didn’t learn to read until I was a lot older, and I was behind in my classes; it was such a challenge.
Charlotte McKinney
Living in that childish wonder is a most beautiful feeling – I can so well remember it. There was always something more – behind and beyond everything – to me, the golden spectacles were very, very big.
Kate Greenaway
If you show emotion in competition, temporarily, you’ll be ineffective. If you’re disciplined enough, you don’t get down when you’re behind, and you have a chance to create something positive.
Tom Landry
Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.
Charles Simic
I mean, why am I considered an ‘it girl?’ Because I’m in a lot of movies right now or am on the covers of magazines? I just hope there is something solid behind that. Because here’s the thing with ‘it girl’ status. It’s great and amazing that anybody is saying that at all. But how long does that last?
Amanda Seyfried
F. Lee Bailey had been an inspiration to me. It was my desire to have him behind the scenes, to rely on his great wisdom and his brainpower, but I did not feel he should be in the courtroom.
Robert Shapiro
The most difficult problems are naturally not involved in the search for forms for contemporary life. It is a question of working our way to forms behind which real human values lie.
Alvar Aalto
Your most important work is always ahead of you, never behind you.
Stephen Covey
As human beings, we all mature physically from childhood to adolescence and then into adulthood, but our emotions lag behind.
Bernard Sumner
I never talk about me mates behind their backs, you know. I might have a laugh, but whatever I say about them I’ll certainly say it to their faces.
Shaun Ryder
No matter how good a driver you are, you have to have the right car and the right team behind you in order to succeed.
Nico Rosberg
Right now, I'm standing behind the glass, and I guess t

Right now, I’m standing behind the glass, and I guess that’s a metaphor for how my life will be going forward.
Angela Ruggiero
In a way, I got away with a lot because a lot of our partying was done behind closed doors. But I don’t ever want to be that person again, who embarrasses my family with my behaviour.
Zoe Ball
Ah, Hope! what would life be, stripped of thy encouraging smiles, that teach us to look behind the dark clouds of today, for the golden beams that are to gild the morrow.
Susanna Moodie
I’ve always hated people in costumes with big heads, where you don’t know what’s behind it.
Franka Potente
Nineteen percent of doctors say that they’d be able to give their patients a lethal injection. But they also went on to say that the patient would have to be really, really behind on payments.
Jay Leno
‘Suffering should not make us bitter people,’ my mother once said, ‘it should make us better comforters.’ Young people need to hear this from those who have walked before them, because someday they’ll be walking those same steps, but there may not be anyone following behind.
Billy Graham
When I was in Class II, we used to walk about 5 km. to school. I did not know of Olympics or even athletics then. One day, a friend went in a car and left me behind. I was so angry, I wanted to run and outrace the car. I ran so fast that I tripped and fractured my knee.
Hima Das
Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.
Samuel Smiles
To the extent that anyone anywhere does anything interesting, the question is: ‘Why isn’t Apple doing that; why is Apple behind in that?’ We aren’t the Everything Company. We take on a very small number of things that we do very well, and we find that pretty rewarding.
Craig Federighi
Too many African countries have already hit rock-bottom – ungoverned, poverty-stricken, and lagging further and further behind the rest of the world each day; there is nowhere further to go down.
Dambisa Moyo
I’m a terrible procrastinator. When we go to the airport, if they’re not literally closing the door behind my sweaty, hyperventilating body, I feel I’ve been there too long.
Greg Kinnear
No one really sees pro athletes behind the scenes. They don’t know how hard they work. They don’t see how you work on the basics. They couldn’t possibly know. You wouldn’t think that someone who hits like Alex Rodriguez needs to use a tee every day. But that’s how he stayed on top of it.
Patrick Mahomes
I am hands-on in any project that I am associated with. I just don’t want to put my face or name and lend it to a product that I’m not behind a hundred percent.
Kim Kardashian
You can’t fake this music. You might be a great singer or a great musician but, in the need, that’s got nothing to do with it. It’s how you connect to the songs and to the history behind them.
Etta James
I had a jeep made up for Michael, and he would take it on tour, and he would hide behind it, like a curtain.
Rick Dees
Then all this started to pick up because I signed with ForeFront when I was in seventh grade. It got a lot busier and I was traveling a lot and it wasn’t making sense. Especially at a private school, you miss two days, and you get so behind.
Stacie Orrico
As an actor, the ambition is to play interesting characters. And in the indie genre world, the budgets are low. That allows me, as an actor, not to have a financial value behind my name, to justify me being in these bigger parts for these types of movies.
A. J. Bowen
What is the real purpose behind the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus? They seem like greater steps toward faith and imagination, each with a payoff. Like cognitive training exercises.
Chuck Palahniuk
The people who are garrulous and wear their heart on their sleeve and tell you everything, that’s one kind of person, but the fellow who’s hiding behind a tree and hoping you don’t see him is the fellow that you’d better find out why.
Dorothea Lange
Watching soccer is my main hobby, really. I’m no tactician or coach, but I enjoy watching the free flow of it, the different styles, and the histories behind clubs. Like Barcelona vs. Madrid – it’s not just a soccer game; it’s a geopolitical struggle. There are great storylines and no commercials.
Andrew Luck
In a pine tree behind me, an eagle waits out the rain, hunched into himself, brooding. Crows squabble, a murder chasing a raven. Seals cruise the lines of fishing nets bobbing in the water, hoping for an easy meal, the tender bellies of salmon.
Eden Robinson
Leaving a legacy behind is huge.
Aaron Donald
Every shot is unique, even if it’s just a close-up, an insert of your hand. You’ve got to work with the guy behind the lens to get it right, focus in. Those are critical little nothing things, but you’ve got to work with the people who are trying to put it down, in order to get it.
Robert Forster
We face fear many times a day, in many ways, and usually we turn away from it. It often hides itself behind laziness and complacency, which are its shadows and aliases. We accept the things-as-they-are world in which we are comfortable.
Rick Tumlinson
I would love to raise a fund or get some awesome empowered women together and put together an advisory board to get behind female entrepreneurs.
Molly Bloom
I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I’m not afraid to look behind them.
Elizabeth Taylor
By nature, I am a low-key person and like being behind the camera.
Rohit Shetty
Team sports are very important for shaping personalities. It’s important that kids understand the mentality behind playing team sports and playing for one another and playing with friends.
Brian O’Driscoll
Regardless of the sexual orientation behind a relationship, it is still a relationship and still love.
Hozier
Sometimes I get really behind on my school work but I try to keep up as much as I can.
Lindsey Horan
You never know what goes on behind closed doors.
Belinda Carlisle
There's something very surreal about driving a truck, l

There’s something very surreal about driving a truck, looking in the rearview mirror, and seeing 20 cop cars behind you. Even though you know, ‘We’re just shooting. This is just a scene; we’re making a movie here,’ it’s very unsettling.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner
I would be a liar, a hypocrite, or a fool – and I’m not any of those – to say that I don’t write for the reader. I do. But for the reader who hears, who really will work at it, going behind what I seem to say. So I write for myself and that reader who will pay the dues.
Maya Angelou
They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, Oh my God, I have to be so brave. See, every woman hates herself from behind.
Cindy Crawford
Sorrow lies like a heartbeat behind everything I have written.
P. L. Travers
It’s Northern Ireland, it’s Ireland, it’s Scotland, it’s Wales, there’s Scousers, Londoners, all behind me.
Carl Frampton
You have to remember that not every creature that was evolving left behind its skull or its tools for our convenience tens of thousands of years later. Most bones or most tools rot or get buried and are never found again.
Steven Pinker
Phil Niekro and his brother were pitching against each other in Atlanta. Their parents were sitting right behind home plate. I saw their folks more that day than they did the whole weekend.
Bob Uecker
That’s what I love about tennis: As an individual sport, you can’t hide behind teammates.
Caroline Wozniacki
I didn’t disappear; I started writing songs and worked behind the scenes.
Lesley Gore
Those people behind the mosque have to respect, have to appreciate and have to defer to the people of New York. The wound is still there. Just because the wound is healing you can’t say, ‘Let’s just go back to where we were pre-9/11.
Al-Waleed bin Talal
I was always complaining that there weren’t enough good people going into public service, so I figured I had to get behind someone I found so compelling.
Mona Sutphen
I just want to be able to sit on grass as long as I want to, without anybody telling me to leave. Everything is so restricted, here, in that you actually have to stand behind a line, you can’t go up the Canyon and enjoy the view.
Franka Potente
I was a dancer, and it’s not really cool for a boy to dance, so it was inspiring to see a movie like ‘Footloose’ where a guy is dancing masculine and had a proper reason behind it. It made me feel cool, and when these kids would make fun of me, I’d be like, ‘Oh, didn’t you see ‘Footloose,’ man?’
Kenny Wormald
If a bullfrog had wings it wouldn’t bump his behind every time he hopped.
Don King
From behind the Iron Curtain, there are signs that tyranny is in trouble and reminders that its structure is as brittle as its surface is hard.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
When I was seven, these kids in the alley behind our house in Omaha called me Freckleface Strawberry. I hated my freckles, and I hated that name. I thought it was humiliating in the way that only a seven-year-old could hate it.
Julianne Moore
Those who get stuck doing the same things for too long are bound to get left behind the strong who press on and re-invent themselves.
T-Pain
It’s true that in my family, everyone loves football. So it’s great to have a family that’s united behind you and doesn’t leave you.
Karim Benzema
Making a movie is a network of decisions that keep multiplying as you go. You leave a trail of decisions behind you, and that’s how you start to see the shape of what you’ve done. When you get far enough, you turn around and say, ‘Ha, that’s the movie.’ It’s only then that you find out if it’s going to work or not.
Sydney Pollack
I’m a very private person. I don’t go out much. I’m home with kids. I go to work. I don’t really like being the focus of attention, which is why I like being behind the camera more.
Angelina Jolie
Behind every big artist, there’s a big team.
J Balvin
We all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we’re capable of.
Phil McGraw
When I went into the computer shop to change my last laptop, the 19-year-old kid behind the counter looked at my six-year-old model and described it as ‘vintage.’ ‘Vintage?’ I wanted to scream. ‘Son, I’ve got shirts older than you! I own underpants that have seen more of the world!’
John Niven
The defects and faults of the mind are like wounds in the body; after all imaginable care has been taken to heal them up, still there will be a scar left behind, and they are in continual danger of breaking the skin and bursting out again.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
They who go Feel not the pain of parting; it is they Who stay behind that suffer.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It is easy to criticize me from behind a pen or a microphone, from someone who never set foot on a football field.
Diego Forlan
There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender… identity is performatively constituted by the very ‘expressions’ that are said to be its results.
Judith Butler
When we look at our justice system, we have this image of a balancing scale: truth and justice, right and wrong. But for years, our system has been lopsided, where it’s not about truth and justice or balance. It’s about being tough on crime, and sometimes that means you’re putting the wrong person behind bars.
Brian Banks
When I came to New York, I was really awkward. I went to military academy for high school, so I didn’t have the socialization that most kids do. When I got here, I was five years behind everybody. Talking to women was weird for me.
Adam Rapp
It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we’re alive – to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
It is part of being a goalkeeper: there is nobody behind to save you.
Hugo Lloris
One comes, and one goes. Basically, what you leave behi

One comes, and one goes. Basically, what you leave behind is the record.
Asif Ali Zardari
It’s a noisy environment we all live in, whether it’s traffic or the workplace, so it’s very difficult to think about your life in general. A lot of people are afraid to do that. They like to hide behind their work and not face up to a big problem in their life.
Enya
Green synthetic practice mats are the worst thing for your golf game that I know of. You can hit six inches behind the ball and not even know it, because the ball still gets airborne. Practice nets are awful, too. Swing a weighted club instead.
Lee Trevino
The people who are doing the work are the moving force behind the Macintosh. My job is to create a space for them, to clear out the rest of the organization and keep it at bay.
Steve Jobs
They say behind every successful man is a powerful woman. And there is no more powerful performer I would rather be in the ring with for a conversation than Stephanie McMahon.
Dusty Rhodes
‘Star Trek’ episodes always insisted that humanity is on its bumpy way to what will be a glorious future in the 23rd century, in which we will have left most of our old selfishness – and old hatreds and prejudices – far behind us.
Gene Roddenberry
I’m not Yadier Molina behind the plate, but I can throw a ball to second on a rope.
Jon Hamm
He was so confident. But underneath that, behind the scenes, I knew Michael Jordan was a country kid from North Carolina, and it was that simple to him. He was a young man, at heart, who wanted to be one of the guys who loved to play and was willing to do whatever was necessary.
B. J. Armstrong
We can’t all be good at everything. This is partly the logic behind having a team in the first place, so each role can be filled with the person best suited for that role and together, every job and every strength is covered.
Simon Sinek
As a fast bowler, if you are out of the game for five months, then that can be catastrophic, but to be out of the game for five years was very tough, and to make a comeback after such a lengthy period with no cricket behind me was a difficult ask.
Mohammad Amir
I find myself born into this particular position. I’m determined to make the most of it and to do whatever I can to help. And I hope I leave things behind a little bit better than I found them.
Prince Charles
The driving force behind doing everything that I’ve been doing for 11 years as a stand-up is having problems with authority and not liking to be told what to do.
Anthony Jeselnik
Columbia tried to put me behind other groups, so I didn’t wanna wait, they let me out of the contract and I’m glad they did.
DMX
If you fall behind, run faster. Never give up, never surrender, and rise up against the odds.
Jesse Jackson
I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.
J. B. Priestley
I find the science behind major natural events almost more interesting than the way in which those same events wreak their effects on human society.
Simon Winchester
How does a pansy, for example, select the ingredients from soil to get the right colors for the flower? Now there’s a great miracle. I think there’s a supreme power behind all of this. I see it in nature.
Clyde Tombaugh
Sweetness is the opposite of machismo, which is everywhere – and I really don’t get on with machismo. I’m interested in sensitivity and weakness and fear and anxiety because I think that, at the end of the day, behind our masks, that’s what we are.
Alain de Botton
For, behind the scenes, halfway around the world in Mexico, were two decades of aggressive research on wheat that not only enabled Mexico to become self-sufficient with respect to wheat production but also paved the way to rapid increase in its production in other countries.
Norman Borlaug
Even the structure of the atom has been found by the mind. Therefore the mind is subtler than the atom. That which is behind the mind, namely the individual soul, is subtler than the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
William Wordsworth
My dad has definitely sacrificed a lot for me, and I don’t know if I could do it if I was in his shoes. Leaving your life behind and chasing this dream because your kid is passionate about this sport.
Chloe Kim
That is the returning to God which in reality is never concluded on earth but yet leaves behind in the soul a divine home sickness, which never again ceases.
Max Muller
I find myself more and more behind these days. You have to be really diligent. I don’t have kids, which helps. I’m always working on something, whether a book, or a law review article that no one will ever read, or teaching. It pretty much means I work a lot, but it’s all stuff I love.
Alafair Burke
That was one of the most hurtful things, to have my mother see me in court and to have my mother see me behind bars.
R-Truth
I’m a capitalist. I believe in capitalism. But capitalism only works if you have safety nets to deal with people who are naturally left behind and brutalized by it.
Thomas Friedman
It makes no difference if I burn my bridges behind me – I never retreat.
Fiorello LaGuardia
An orchard can grow pastured poultry underneath. A beef cattle or sheep farm can run pastured poultry behind the herbivores, like the egret on the rhino’s nose.
Joel Salatin
Money is not the driving force behind my decisions to accept or reject a project.
Asin
We are lagging far behind comparable countries in overcoming the disadvantages Indigenous people face.
Malcolm Fraser
I am an employment hyena. I am happy to make a meal of what the lions leave behind.
Henry Rollins
Behind every great athlete is a masterful coach that in

Behind every great athlete is a masterful coach that inspires the athlete to evolve into the strongest performer they can become.
Cathy Engelbert
I’ve been in crisis situations, I’ve been down, I’ve been hurt, I’ve been behind on the scorecards, and I’ve had to pull that shot out to knock somebody out. I’ve been in all kinds of situations and still come out on top.
Tyson Fury
‘The Dance Scene’ is just a real look at what it takes. You see the award shows. You see the videos and you never realize what goes on behind the scenes. The reality and the preparation. The motivation I have to give each dancer on that set.
Laurieann Gibson
I like the idea that something happens to everybody who comes to L.A. – whether they are Mexican, Irish, black, or hillbillies. You come here, and you leave all your traditions behind. And since there’s no traditions here, you just make one up.
Ry Cooder
If you’re behind the times, they won’t notice you. If you’re right in tune with them, you’re no better than they are, so they won’t care much for you. Be just a little ahead of them.
Shel Silverstein
The first thing I learned in boxing is to not get hit. That’s the art of boxing. Execute your opponent without getting hit. In sports school, we were putting our hands behind our backs and having to defend ourselves with our shoulders, by rolling, by moving round the ring, moving out feet.
Wladimir Klitschko
When trouble breaks out, our men and women in uniform, they don’t just sit around thinking about it or talking about it – they act. They put on that uniform. They leave their loved ones behind. They go out there. They give orders. They follow orders. They do whatever it takes to keep our country safe.
Michelle Obama
No matter what’s behind us in the rearview mirror, it’s always about what’s next.
Dabo Swinney
Behind every racist joke is a scientific fact.
Milo Yiannopoulos
I was so naive as a kid I used to sneak behind the barn and do nothing.
Johnny Carson
People can hide behind a computer, they can hide behind a cell phone, they can tweet. They can say whatever they want. I’m not worried about them.
Andy Dalton
I believe we need new leadership to put the partisan gridlock behind us, and I promised my constituents I would vote for new leadership.
Conor Lamb
Both Everton and City have fantastic sets of fans who really get behind the players.
Gareth Barry
I am very fortunate I can send my kids to private school, but everybody does not have the money. If you cannot get your kid in a good school today, your kids are going to be behind the eight ball.
Spike Lee
If you’re in P10 and you’re getting caught from behind from P11 or the other way round… there’s that one point to gain… and there’s not really a lot to lose.
Kevin Magnussen
I am one of those people who believes that the solution to the world’s problems is to be found behind the Iron Curtain.
Che Guevara
A mystery is a whodunit. You know what happened, but not how or who’s behind it. A thriller, or a suspense, is a howdunit. You know what happened, and you usually know who did it, but you keep reading because you want to know how they pulled it off.
M. J. Rose
I want to leave something behind. A blueprint. A work ethic. Something that my great-grandkids and their kids and their kids can see: This is where it started. Lineage. Intergenerational wealth. Things that are here forever. All that.
Michael B. Jordan
I’m looking forward to it, to be able to represent the black culture… but I’m doing my best at managing it, keeping it behind me, and that’s the best thing I can do.
Bubba Wallace
If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings and put compensation as a carrier behind it you almost don’t have to manage them.
Jack Welch
The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.
Benjamin Disraeli
If words don’t have vibration behind them, and a real feeling behind them, then they’re just words.
Charlotte Rampling
After being signed by WWE, Edge, Christian, Mark Henry, Giant Silva, Test and Ken Shamrock all trained at my house. I had a pool room with an indoor pool and a garden behind it. I took out the garden and put in a wrestling ring.
Bret Hart
The dead play a very prominent part in the experience of the wanderer abroad. The houses in which they were born, the tombs in which they lie, the localities they made famous by their good or evil deeds, and the works their genius left behind them are necessarily the chief shrines of his pilgrimage.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich
I think everybody’s got different methods of working which suit the particular individual. Mine is to sort of play the part, and give 100%, to concentrate and focus on it while I’m actually working, but then leave it behind until the next day.
Sean Bean
If the American government can’t stand behind the dollar, the world’s benchmark currency, then the global financial system will very likely enter a new era in which there is much less trade and much less economic growth. It would be, by most accounts, the largest self-imposed financial disaster in history.
Adam Davidson
Coding – everyone thinks it’s a superpower. And so when you feel like, ‘I’ve learned how to code,’ and you say to your mom or the girl sitting next to you, ‘I know how that app is built, I know the logic behind how that was created’ – that’s powerful.
Reshma Saujani
I really like Kickstarter because you don’t have to be a Medici to fund the arts and sciences or to get behind a big idea or a person that sparks your imagination. It’s a type of microfunding directed toward creators.
Lisa Gansky
The interest which lay behind Federalism was that of well-to-do citizens in a stable political and social order, and this interest aroused them to favor and to seek some form of political organization which was capable of protecting their property and promoting its interest.
Herbert Croly
Our animal origins are constantly lurking behind, even if they are filtered through complicated social evolution.
Richard Dawkins
Beauty is ever to the lonely mind a shadow fleeting; she is never plain. She is a visitor who leaves behind the gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.
Christopher Morley
Normcore doesn't equal wearing the first pair of jeans

Normcore doesn’t equal wearing the first pair of jeans and T-shirt from your wardrobe. Behind dressing easy, lies a precise selection.
Masaba Gupta
When Woodstock ended on Monday morning, over 600 acres of garbage was left behind on Max Yasgur’s farm. It took over 400 volunteers and $100,000 to remove it all.
Shawn Amos
What I’m saying is that, unlike a lot of portrayals of me, I’m not hiding behind the sunglasses. I’m out there working. I’m not trying to sell anybody anything, but I do realize we’re entertainers.
David Duval
If you have any fault to find with anyone, tell him, not others, of what you complain; there is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing before a man’s face and another behind his back.
Robert E. Lee
I believe Europe is burning financially. Europe’s problems are not going to go away. They are so structural. Yet, our problems are right behind them. We cannot just look at Europe.
Richard Shelby
The basic idea behind a paper trail is that you take one of these electronic systems and you augment it with a printer that prints out people’s vote as they vote.
Avi Rubin
I think there’s a lot of the hip-hop crowd behind Barack Obama because he’s a black man. Honestly, I’m rooting for Hillary because race is only going to go so far. All the presidents are men at the end of the day.
Lupe Fiasco
I famously tasted shark fin soup many, many years ago before we understood exactly what was going on with the harvesting of sharks. I’ve consequently come out against it. I make personal choices in my life and stand behind them.
Andrew Zimmern
I don’t remember myself to be a forefront fighter, but when pushed to a point with a wall behind me, there is only one way forward. Later you can call it a Rambo syndrome, but I never regret it, as it comes naturally to me, and in my mind, that is the only way.
Kamal Haasan
Behind closed doors, I’m a crafty person.
Raven-Symone
General Lee, this is no place for you. These men behind you are Georgians and Virginians. They have never failed you and will not fail you here. Will you boys?
John Brown Gordon
There is great treasure there behind our skull and this is true about all of us. This little treasure has great, great powers, and I would say we only have learnt a very, very small part of what it can do.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
I suspect that one of capitalism’s crucial assets derives from the fact that the imagination of economists, including its critics, lags well behind its own inventiveness, the arbitrariness of its undertaking and the ruthlessness of the way in which it proceeds.
Zygmunt Bauman
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
Mike Pence
Behind the phony tinsel of Hollywood lies the real tinsel.
Oscar Levant
I don’t mind sitting behind Tom Brady. That is the GOAT himself.
Lamar Jackson
What I love to do is paint people’s faces, y’know, their eyes. Because you want to find that emotion, see what’s going on behind their eyes.
Johnny Depp
The actor is there to translate what’s on the page onto the stage or the screen. So I find it important that an actor manages to actually get out of the way, vanish as a person behind the character, never to be seen or talked about again. That’s my philosophy.
Christoph Waltz
It is time for us to make a real commitment to our rural communities by expanding broadband, by supporting our farmers, by building affordable housing and taking on rural poverty. That’s how we leave no one behind.
Amy Klobuchar
What lies behind appearance is usually another appearance.
Mason Cooley
I left the entertainment industry part of my life behind in 1983, when we decided not to work with major record companies anymore.
Arlo Guthrie
I tend to hide behind my status of being a diva; it’s easy for me to embrace that part of me and seek confidence by being a bit outrageous at times.
Alex Newell
I will reveal the secrets behind these doors.
Zahi Hawass
The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.
James Joyce
I think I’m better behind the camera than I am in front.
Bryan Adams
That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
William Wordsworth
Up on that stage, my personality changes. I put everything behind me when I perform. My problems don’t belong to my fans. I don’t put a burden on my audience. I give them 100 percent of my energy.
Koko Taylor
Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Thomas Carlyle
I think that’s something that all mothers have to deal with, especially single mothers. We work, and we have to leave the kids behind. And I think that’s one of the reasons that we, not only as women but as families, we have to advocate for early childhood education for all of our children.
Dolores Huerta
Ideas are the great warriors of the world, and a war that has no idea behind it, is simply a brutality.
James A. Garfield
Leaders don't look behind; they don't look to the side

Leaders don’t look behind; they don’t look to the side – they look ahead.
Anand Mahindra
Look, architecture has a lot of places to hide behind, a lot of excuses. ‘The client made me do this.’ ‘The city made me do this.’ ‘Oh, the budget.’ I don’t believe that anymore.
Frank Gehry
There is a tendency by a lot of officials to hide behind the king. And it’s about time that officials take their responsibility and are responsible in front of the people.
Abdullah II of Jordan
You can’t hide behind a Michelin star.
Alvin Leung
When you see the rival make a certain pass, you don’t need to look behind you. You know 100 per cent that all your teammates will go with you.
Sadio Mane
If you have a chance to accomplish something that will make things better for people coming behind you, and you don’t do that, you are wasting your time on this earth.
Roberto Clemente
Some people, when they die, leave so much life behind that we wonder how they did it.
Patti Davis
Behind every easy role, there is a lot of hard work that goes in.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui
For the past three or four years you know the crowd’s behind you, supporting you, and to then be given a bit of a boo is not a good feeling.
Bernard Tomic
We have this time to meet and do something, or just be together, and then we lose it and move to another kind of time, another kind of being, I guess. Those left behind must mourn, remember, and live on as we know.
Mimi Kennedy
Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries, dating, and religion.
Scott Adams
It’s part of the gift and the curse of coming behind my brother. I’m not afforded the luxury of just taking a set casual, taking the night off. Because if I bomb, it’s, ‘Oh, he’s not funny – he’s just doing it because of his brother.’
Tony Rock
The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.
Carl Jung
There’s so many bits on a car these days it’s hard to know where everything is. You have a bit of an idea but if you are behind someone and you suddenly change direction it’s hard to know exactly where the car is.
Lando Norris
I balanced all, brought all to mind, the years to come seemed waste of breath, a waste of breath the years behind, in balance with this life, this death.
William Butler Yeats
Everybody remembers what it’s like to be in high school. We really never leave those years behind.
Nikki DeLoach
Moreover, behind this vague tendency to treat religion as a side issue in modern life, there exists a strong body of opinion that is actively hostile to Christianity and that regards the destruction of positive religion as absolutely necessary to the advance of modern culture.
Christopher Dawson
When we censor our history by disguising our scars, we belittle this process and the struggles our ancestors fought so hard to overcome. America doesn’t cower behind political correctness. It defiantly and courageously moves forward, with its history as a reminder of where we have been.
Markwayne Mullin
I believe that behind both the person who weighs 400 pounds and the one who weighs 85 there is a lot of baggage, and it has nothing to do with their bodies.
Kirstie Alley
‘No Child Left Behind’ requires states and school districts to ensure that all students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms.
Dianne Feinstein
Singing background has always been such a precious thing. I’m always going to be excited to sing behind an artist and learn from them.
Judith Hill
In life, if you stay quiet, you’ll get left behind. So I had to learn to be more vocal and outgoing.
Jaylen Brown
Fighters no longer manage themselves: they have a whole team behind them. A fighter has a manager, an agent, a Hollywood agent – they got this and that. And on top of that, they’ve got their whole team of coaches.
Kamaru Usman
Of course we all know Biden is the intellect of the Democratic Party. Kind of a grin with a body behind it.
Clint Eastwood
The same people who smile in my face would be the same ones to talk behind my back.
Timbaland
There’s no perfect life. There’s always something going on behind the curtain that people don’t know about.
Madelaine Petsch
I’m sure everyone has a cool story behind how they got into Formula One, but, for me, Perth, you know, not only in Australia is it detached, but it’s detached from the whole world.
Daniel Ricciardo
I’ve always voted Republican because America is exactly that, a republic. You can’t expect much leadership with a Democrat behind the desk their not even close to dual efficient.
Audrey Meadows
The one thing I need to leave behind is good memories.
Michael Landon
Me and my friends made a group called 1400 and the number always stuck with me. I always see it everywhere I go. There’s an angel behind the number, it’s an angelic number.
Trippie Redd
Those who were behind conspiracies against me and my government will be exposed.
Nawaz Sharif
His potential is greater and higher than Everton as a f

His potential is greater and higher than Everton as a final destination. If Romelu was to play at Everton until the end of his career I know he has left something behind.
Ronald Koeman
With the acting, it’s somebody else’s brainchild, and I’m just sort of helping flesh it out. There’s a special satisfaction to being the brains behind the operation.
Jack Black
I think part of being an adult is leaving the fairytale behind.
Rashida Jones
Never fear: Thank Home, and Poetry, and the Force behind both.
Wilfred Owen
Cinematography is so much about instinct and intuition – you want the same range of experience going into behind the camera as what you see in front of it. Your life experience will come through the lens.
Rachel Morrison
Every blunder behind us is giving a cheer for us, and only for those who were willing to fail are the dangers and splendors of life.
Carl Sandburg
It is fairly well-known what has been behind that climate change denial in America: vast sums pumped into an ignorance industry by the oil and gas lobbies.
Naomi Wolf
I am representing here – the sound of silence. The cry of innocence. And, the face of invisibility. I represent millions of those children who are left behind, and that’s why I have kept an empty chair here as a reminder.
Kailash Satyarthi
The fatal metaphor of progress, which means leaving things behind us, has utterly obscured the real idea of growth, which means leaving things inside us.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The truth is, we all face hardships of some kind, and you never know the struggles a person is going through. Behind every smile, there’s a story of a personal struggle.
Adrienne C. Moore
I suppose I might insist on making issues of things. But that is not my nature, and I always bear in mind that my mission is to leave behind me the kind of impression that will make it easier for those who follow.
Marian Anderson
Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.
C. S. Lewis
We’d get these boxes of clothing in the mail, and my mom would say, ‘What makes you think all this is for you? You’ve got a sister right behind you.’ So then I realized, we’re all in this together. We have to help each other.
Ruby Bridges
These dire predictions of COVID are behind us. Covid is getting milder and people are learning to treat it better. The percentage of deaths is coming down. We are learning to live with it.
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala
No artist is ahead of his time. He is his time; it is just that others are behind the times.
Martha Graham
It’s important players focus on what they have to do, while the fans keep believing and stay behind us.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Behind every successful man you’ll find a woman who has nothing to wear.
Harold Coffin
I think I’ve really exhausted the magical. It was a lot of fun, but I’ve put it behind me for the time being.
J. K. Rowling
I always look at the motives behind each scene. You can play that out tonally with how you express yourself or you can do that with your physical expression, your physical presence. So I always think about what physical presence I want to embody in each scene.
Aidan Gallagher
Beauty for me is the attitude behind something. But my ideals of beauty are rather different.
Shobana
Behind every successful man there’s a lot of unsuccessful years.
Bob Brown
Who can’t relate to the idea of leaving one chapter behind and moving on to the next?
Mike Shinoda
I get so nervous on stage I can’t help but talk. I try. I try telling my brain: stop sending words to the mouth. But I get nervous and turn into my grandma. Behind the eyes it’s pure fear. I find it difficult to believe I’m going to be able to deliver.
Adele
A lot of the magic that is behind success can be unlocked through mentorships. Mentorships are a fundamental part of the success equation.
Caroline Ghosn
Today, I’d like to talk to Bob Marley. I’d just like to ask him what was his method. Bob is one of the greatest songwriters ever. I don’t know if people understand how powerful his songs are and the simplicity and genius behind them, from ‘Redemption Song’ to ‘Is This Love?’ and ‘I Shot the Sheriff.’
Bruno Mars
There’s another way we are getting behind business – by sorting out the banks. Taxpayers bailed you out. Now it’s time for you to repay the favour and start lending to Britain’s small businesses.
David Cameron
Using social media to hurt and destroy is callous, acted out by cowards hiding behind computers. My advice is to ignore negativity. Focus on the love around.
Martin Garrix
Every abstract picture of the world is as impossible as a blueprint of a storm. Don’t be ashamed because you’re human: be proud! Inside you, vaults behind vaults open endlessly. You will never be finished, and that’s as it should be.
Tomas Transtromer
Then I went through a whole bunch of crap with my lousy movies and pop records. I had people behind me kind of steering me in that direction, but it wasn’t really my bag.
Pia Zadora
I didn’t have a problem with rejection, because when you go into an audition, you’re rejected already. There are hundreds of other actors. You’re behind the eight ball when you go in there.
Robert De Niro
Man the individual consoles himself for his passing with the thought of the offspring or the works which he leaves behind.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
You see thousands of films you forget the minute you co

You see thousands of films you forget the minute you come out of the cinema, don’t you? Because they don’t mean anything. It’s the tough ones like ‘Breaking the Waves’ and ‘Nil By Mouth’ that stay with you, that you never forget. I’d like to leave a few of those behind if possible.
Olivia Colman
It’s important to raise your voice in things you feel passionate about and things that you know about. Don’t raise your voice just to raise your voice if you have nothing behind it and don’t know what you’re talking about.
Zendaya
My only feeling about superstition is that it’s unlucky to be behind at the end of the game.
Duffy Daugherty
A lot of the stories I was brought up on had to do with extreme actions – leaving everything behind, crossing the trackless wastes, and in those stories the people who stayed behind and had their settled ways – those people were not the people who got the prize. The prize was California.
Joan Didion
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.
Anatole France
I cleaned up everything behind the scenes and simplified my life. I made some changes in my staff. I changed management, my accountants, my bookkeeping team. I had a full refresh. For me that was extremely important.
Ian Poulter
