Roads, better harnesses for horses, time-keeping devices, financial instruments like a currency that was recognized everywhere in the kingdom, enforceable contracts – all of this made commerce more appealing than plunder.
I think that Michael Jackson, just as an entertainer, as a figure who embodies the contradictions of black identity and the possibilities of R&B music in the ’70s and ’80s, will continue to be one of the most recognized and formidable human beings that we’ve ever produced in our tradition.
I usually get recognized for Spaceballs.
Ingmar Bergman had a great sense of humor, and he had a very special, characteristic laugh that you always recognized – if he went to watch a theater show, ‘Ah! He is here tonight.’
To me, the All-Star Game is just another step. I try to take all my experiences and put them together. To make the NBA was something, and then to be recognized as an All-Star – although I don’t consider myself a star. I see myself as just trying to reach my potential as B. J.
I got a very good life. I sold plenty of records, I get recognized plenty, I can always have somebody call up and get me a fine table at a restaurant. What do you really need, ultimately?
International peace and security depend on certain taboos that are easily recognized when they are broken. It can be more important for an intervention to take place because nuclear or chemical or biological weapons are used as opposed to just measuring how many people are killed.
It never occurred to me that being a stunt girl would get me recognized in any way, because the whole purpose of a stunt person is to not be known.

Is there any more encouraging sign than to see an Indian, who has never been to a university, like our friend Mr. Asutosh Dey here, for example, carrying out original work and finding it recognized by the foremost societies of the world?
Without doubt, you are recognized for the last role you played.
You always have in the back of your mind that would be cool if you get recognized. But you can’t concentrate on any of those things. You’ve got to just keep playing and doing your music and the rest is just a bonus.

In ‘The Serpent’s Egg,’ I created a Berlin which no one recognized, not even I.
I recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. And I have always recognized Jerusalem as the capital of the independent, fully sovereign Palestinian state that we all want to emerge from negotiations toward a true two-state solution.
I recognized… very, very early on that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Fox News were dependent on The Associated Press and Reuters. So my daily intake of information is from watching the newswires.
I didn’t get into this for fame, I genuinely didn’t. I love acting, and I know that’s a cliche, but I didn’t, really, I was very naive when it came to the whole being recognized thing.
I read and watch movies. I can’t go to the movie theater much anymore, though, because I get recognized. It’s worse sometimes if I wear a costume and try not to get recognized. I watch most of my films on airplanes.
The society Shakespeare knew was heading for tremendous change, and he seems to have recognized that and written about it in a coded way. I understand those codes, I think.
Everything about ‘Adventure Time’ is the purest form of kid’s play. A kid does not live in the Land of Ooo. That is one of the wonderful things about the show; it doesn’t pretend to be real. That was the great thing about ‘Pee Wee’s Playhouse’; it existed in a world completely outside any reality a kid recognized.
If there’s anybody who is recognized as the one guy who has stymied Alaskan development, it’s Bill Clinton.
I get recognized on the street and stuff, which is cool but it’s also weird.
I read the Odyssey because it was the story of a man who returned home after being absent for more than twenty years and was recognized only by his dog.
When I won the Tony, I blacked out. I don’t remember anything. I had bullet points jotted down, but I forgot to read half of them. My hands were shaking. It was an insane honor to be recognized in that way.
The first time I got recognized in public was at a movie theater. It was at the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movie premiere. I was at the movie theater, and someone came up, and it was so weird to me, because I had never been recognized by a viewer, so I thought that was scary.
I’ve done whatever I’ve been compelled to do, and I’ve done it all to the best of my abilities. If I’ve been recognized or honored for what I’ve done then those are bonuses, not the reason for doing what I did.
We recognized in 1996 that, with progress in the field of genetics accelerating at a breathtaking pace, we need to ensure that advances in treatment and prevention of disease do not constitute a new basis for discrimination.
If I get recognized, it’s because someone notices me at the checkout counter at the grocery store. I really live a very normal life and have been able to keep my privacy.
Getting recognized is insane. It just blows my mind. Like, someone who you don’t know at all can just be like, ‘Oh my God – are you Billie?’
I don’t get recognized that much. That’s the best part of it. I tend to get things like, ‘You sound a lot like that guy on ‘Deadwood.’ And that’s lovely. I’ve been very fortunate. No giggling, screaming girls. None of that.
You see Mexican cinema in festivals throughout the world, and you see Mexican directors getting recognized at Cannes, at the Oscars, in Berlin, but the question is, What is the end result of that in terms of the market? That’s where it’s lacking.
Bahai Iranians are barred from holding government jobs, their children are excluded from the nation’s university system, their marriages are not recognized and their cemeteries and holy places have been desecrated. It is government policy to incite hatred of Bahais in the official media.
Like I say, Michelin is Michelin. It’s nice people are recognized, but at the end of the day, the star doesn’t define you, it’s what you do with it, and it’s what you do in life in general. I think it helps you with the business, but it doesn’t help you as a person.
To be an actor for 30-odd years trying to become recognized, and to end up playing a full prosthetic and a character 3 foot 9′, or something like that, is… well, it just shows that you can get actors to do anything.
It’s a very strange thing being recognized or looked upon as someone special.
I’ve been writing all my life, and playing bass came later on, when I was about 26. What I recognized with poetry and music that I had a different voice – there were things I wanted to express that I could not as an actor or even as a director. It was another avenue of expression that my soul needs.
The end of the ‘tech bubble’ in the year 2000 is, of course, widely recognized, as the NASDAQ stock index erased three-quarters of its value between 2000 and 2003.
After appearing for eight seasons as a beloved character on ‘Supernatural,’ it’s not surprising that I get most of my recognition on the street from that, and it happens with some frequency. But I’m not a guy who gets recognized often.
If I walk in the street in Korea, I am recognized.
Ireland is a good place to start out as a filmmaker. If what you do is good, even at a very small scale, it will get recognized.
If someone has copyright over some piece of your stuff, you can sell it without permission from the copyright holder because the copyright holder can only control the ‘first-sale.’ The Supreme Court has recognized this doctrine since 1908.

There are many interactions that an actor like me has in public when he gets recognized. The best are ‘You’re a great actor, good work,’ and move on. A very good interaction could be when they say ‘You were awesome on ‘The West Wing,’ ‘Loved ‘In Her Shoes,’ great movie,’ ‘What Women Want,’ good job dude.’
I think people keep baseballs in their cars, just to be prepared in case they see me. It’s cool to get recognized in public; it’s an incredible feeling.
I think most of my life I have not felt recognized.
I’m recognized, let me put it that way.
This may sound mad, but you sort of assume that no one’s going to watch what you do. You go on set, have a lovely time, and then you forget anyone’s going to see it. So it’s always a bit of a shock to be recognized. I get terribly embarrassed.
I wasn’t trying to be an outlaw writer. I never heard of that term; somebody else made it up. But we were all outside the law: Kerouac, Miller, Burroughs, Ginsberg, Kesey; I didn’t have a gauge as to who was the worst outlaw. I just recognized allies: my people.
Space exploration has taken a tremendous technological leap. India as a developing nation has been recognized globally for how it has economized its missions, which have been comparatively low-cost compared with other countries.
