The misery of a child is interesting to a mother, the misery of a young man is interesting to a young woman, the misery of an old man is interesting to nobody.
I grew up at the base of a mountain in Virginia, so my comfort zone is that Appalachian area, where all the dudes wear Carhartt and all the women can put on a beautiful sweater with a snowman applique and nobody raises an eyebrow.
Somebody’s trying to sell you a Mercedes and he pulls up in a Civic with mustard stains on his shirt, dipping a pretzel in some cheese? Nobody wants to hear what you say unless you look like somebody.

Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow.
I don’t care about what nobody say or how nobody feel. I’m happy, I’m living my life, and that’s what it is.
Empathy begins with understanding life from another person’s perspective. Nobody has an objective experience of reality. It’s all through our own individual prisms.
I’m not that good looking… nobody is that good looking. I have seen a lot of movie stars, and maybe four are amazing looking. The rest have a team of gay guys who make it happen.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Yes, you have to be brave enough to take steps that your heart is telling you to take. Because when I decided to go into cricket, not one person told me I was making the right move. At that time, nobody thought the IPL would become so big. I was nervous at that time, because suddenly I was in an uncomfortable spot.
When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better. After all, nobody’s right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day.
Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come.
In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.
Nobody strives to lose.
Nobody likes to be picked on. Nobody.
I did my first interview in 1995 and was asked about my private life. I said, ‘Why would I tell you? I don’t see the logic in anyone knowing that about me. For whose sake? Nobody wins.’
The trouble is now, with rock’n’roll and stuff, it gets so big that it loses what once upon a time was a magnificent thing, where it was special and quite elusive and occasionally a little sinister and it had its own world nobody could get in.
I’ve had other friends who had such a burning desire to have children: they have this biological ticking clock. I don’t know what happened to mine. Nobody ever wound it up.
Solar power is the last energy resource that isn’t owned yet – nobody taxes the sun yet.
Nobody can honestly say that they never lie.
Nobody’s perfect, so don’t go out there and try to act like you got to live a perfect life. Be yourself, and be happy with it.
I don’t want my album coming out with a ‘G’ rating. Nobody would buy it.

To whom, then, must I dedicate my wonderful, surprising and interesting adventures? to whom dare I reveal my private opinion of my nearest relations? the secret thoughts of my dearest friends? my own hopes, fears, reflections and dislikes? Nobody!
Nobody’s ever made a film in the history of cinema where they weren’t expecting some return on their dough.
Technology causes problems as well as solves problems. Nobody has figured out a way to ensure that, as of tomorrow, technology won’t create problems. Technology simply means increased power, which is why we have the global problems we face today.
Nobody’s angry all the time, unless you’re a psycho.
Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the work. I live by that. You grind hard so you can play hard. At the end of the day, you put all the work in, and eventually it’ll pay off. It could be in a year, it could be in 30 years. Eventually, your hard work will pay off.
Nobody’s perfect. Even the most successful people make serious mistakes.
Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.
It’s a pity nobody believes in simple lust anymore.

I don’t want nobody to ever say, ‘I coulda done that beat’ or ‘I know where you got that from.’
Everybody pulls for David, nobody roots for Goliath.
I ain’t follow nobody path; I did it my own way. It’s just grindin’, ya feel me? You just gotta grind.
Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads.
White people are so fragile, God bless ’em. ‘Well, I didn’t own slaves.’ No you didn’t. Nobody is asking you to take personal responsibility for this. But you’re a beneficiary of a system that did. Just own that and move on.
I think – whether it’s music, literature, sport, art, whatever you want – there’s nobody who can stop us if we only apply ourselves with the singular objective of being the best in the world.
Nobody gets any fun out of baseball any more. I guess a kid’s crazy not to be serious about it when he’s drawing down $20,000 or $30,000 a year, and any smart-aleck gag you try may be your last. But what’s life without a laugh?
I got real bored in ’96. Wasn’t nobody to fight. Nothing to look forward to. That’s when I started playing basketball again. Had I not started playing basketball, my boxing career would have failed. But I went from a sport where nobody could touch me to another where I couldn’t touch nobody.
Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.
I’m not working at the Chevron, although I’d probably be the best person to work the night shift. Look at me. Nobody would try to steal a Snickers on my watch.
Nobody, I think, ought to read poetry, or look at pictures or statues, who cannot find a great deal more in them than the poet or artist has actually expressed. Their highest merit is suggestiveness.
I was the class clown in high school, but I always took it too far, so nobody liked me. I was annoying. Like, I would get a laugh and then keep going and keep going.
Do not be afraid to ask for help. Nobody gets through college on their own.
If nobody said anything unless he knew what he was talking about, a ghastly hush would descend upon the earth.
If you are not in fashion, you are nobody.
Nobody knows anything.
Our culture is steeped in positive thinking – from the self-help mega-industry to college courses in positive psychology to the enduring pull of the American dream. There is no dislike button on Facebook. Nobody wants to be a downer.
Nobody thought the Soviet Union would collapse; it was a shock for everyone.
I did not know how to paint a mural. I did not know how to prepare the surface. There was nobody from the Renaissance around who could advise me, and I did the best I could.
Nobody’s indispensable.
Nobody expects girls to do something smart or give one liners in a film.
Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, ‘But how can it be like that?’ because you will get ‘down the drain,’ into a blind alley from which nobody has yet escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that.
Nobody was my support. You have to support yourself, and I think that is the beauty of being a woman. You can handle anything and be ten times better than men.
Obviously I do have political views – I’m a believer in the free-market economy; I also believe that without competition and respect for human rights there will be no progress because nobody will feel safe and free.
Nobody ever won an election by spitting at his political opponents.
I was the kind nobody thought could make it. I had a funny Boston accent. I couldn’t pronounce my R’s. I wasn’t a beauty.
I don’t want to be in some big beautiful place that nobody want me, because I play the blues.
Good is somebody who delivered and allowed the company to overcome obstacles, without leaving a profound impact on its culture. Great is somebody who leads his company to achievements and performance and value that nobody was expecting it had.

I had something nobody else could do – I sang in a way that separated me – and, when you’re trying to get noticed, you play your trump card.
A female newcomer and a male newcomer will get paid different amounts of money. You’re a newcomer, nobody knows who you are, man or woman doesn’t matter. But you’re going to get paid different money.
If I’m going to go all out and wear something new, y’all just know that it’s brand new and it’s likely that nobody has even put it out there yet. Or it’s going to be something that’s real chill and laid back.
My dreams were all my own; I accounted for them to nobody; they were my refuge when annoyed – my dearest pleasure when free.
