What you don’t want is for violence and gore to become more important than character and structure.

We have learned – or at least we should have – that seeing Islamist extremism purely as a reaction to what we do is fundamentally mistaken.

I’ve worked so hard for so long, and everyone’s reaction has made me feel like… almost like they trust me, which is just a wonderful feeling. It pushes me to write things better and better.

When I signed up for Google Plus, my reaction after playing around with it for a little bit was like, ‘Huh, I think Facebook should be scared.’ In part, because it’s a really elegant product. It’s very fast.
My personal belief is that you carry your own water in a relationship. If you see a girl and you think she’s hot, that’s a very human reaction, but you don’t go and tell your spouse that, you know? So in one way it’s how you behave.
U.S. analysts estimate that Russian military expenditures have tripled during the Bush-Putin years, in large measure a predicted reaction to the Bush administration’s militancy and aggressiveness.
Listener and reader input is every bit as important as anything any of us can say.

‘This Means War’ is up there with ‘Hail to the King’ in terms of crowd reaction and kids chanting for it.
For some reason I did something where I realized I could get a reaction.

When I came out for the 25th anniversary of Raw, I got a great reaction, and it made me feel very good, but as amazing a moment as that was, I know, after two months, fans would want to move on.
I read a bunch of books about Mengele because he was pretty sick. That was how ‘Angel Of Death’ came about. I know why people misinterpret it, just because we don’t say Nazism is very bad. They get this knee-jerk reaction to it.
My favorite food was seafood, and that’s all I used to eat. And then there I was, 27 years old, and bam, I have this allergic reaction – and it’s life-threatening.

I’m very careful not to tell a joke just to get a reaction.
I think the reaction to the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement has been rather overwhelming.

German writers in the late 18th century were the first to uphold a prickly, literary nationalism, in reaction to the then dominance and prestige of French literature.
