Whether you are pro-choice or strongly pro-life, as I am, there should be common ground that abortion ceases to be an option when a baby can live outside the mother’s womb or experience excruciating pain from a procedure.
Ask any parent what we want for our children, and invariably we say ‘a better life.’ To that end, we give our time, our sleep, our money, and our dreams, much as our parents did before us. We all want a better life for our children. But what we want for them ceases to matter if we leave them an unlivable world.
Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.
Life ceases to be so oppressive: we are free to give our own lives meaning and purpose, free to redeem our suffering by making something of it.
When you have two people who are the smart girls, then the ‘smart’ ceases to exist; they’re just women who are smart.
The secret of success lies in that old word, ‘Drudgery,’ in doing one thing long after it ceases to be amusing; and it is ‘this one thing I do’ that gathers me together from my chaos, that concentrates me from possibilities to powers, and turns powers into achievements.
Once you have a certain amount of money, it ceases to be an issue. I’d rather put my cultural imprint on the fabric of life. After money, all you want is immortality.
It never ceases to amaze me that you come to any place in the world and walk down the street, and people know who you are. There’s nowhere you can go in the world without being recognised as a WWE superstar.
When you’re not involved, other people’s unhappiness seems to be about the funniest damn thing on earth because you think you can solve it, that you are God, that you are above this, and that their unhappiness is just such useless toil and agony. If it’s you, it ceases to be a comedy.
The day that this country ceases to be free for irreligion, it will cease to be free for religion.
Cinema ceases to be passive and becomes active: you, the audience, are now, in some senses, in charge of the filmmaking process. You have all got mobile phones, you have all got cam recorders, and you’ve all got laptops, so you’re all filmmakers.
You create a world away from home and make new rooms for yourself. But when you arrive back home in your old rooms, the world you’ve made for yourself ceases to be real. Everything seems to crumble. Anyone who’s been sent away to boarding school can understand that.
After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts.
The proletariat uses the State not in the interests of freedom but in order to hold down its adversaries, and as soon as it becomes possible to speak of freedom the State as such ceases to exist.
I’ve always looked to other women for inspiration and kicks. When a woman stands up and does her thing, it never ceases to excite and inspire me.
When Barack Obama tries to continually weasel his ever-expanding government into the private sector or does something like try to sneak the biggest backdoor tax in history into the books, he ceases to be ‘Presidential.’
When a story is flying along, and I’m so into it that my ‘real’ world goes away, it can feel magical. I cease to be, my desk and computer ceases to be, and I am my character in his world. Psychologists call this a ‘flow state,’ and it’s better than publication, money, awards, fame.
The split second she ceases to care is the only time a woman ceases to be attractive.
It never ceases to amaze me the opportunities that have arisen for me after my cancer scare.
I don’t like to feel like I’m in a club when I’m in my car and I turn on the radio. Anything that ceases to be a song and just sounds like house music kind of stresses me out.
What is divine? Simply that which man has not yet been able to understand. Once understood, it ceases to be divine.
Where everything is possible miracles become commonplaces, but the familiar ceases to be self-evident.
Take from the philosopher the pleasure of being heard and his desire for knowledge ceases.
Once E.U. law ceases to be supreme it is unclear how this vast body of law, which will then be incorporated into our own domestic law, will be interpreted by our own courts.
Australia is a phenomenally beautiful country, and every time I go away and come back, it never ceases to amaze me.
How we think about the world and – perhaps even more importantly – how we narrate it have a massive significance, therefore, a thing that happens and is not told ceases to exist and perishes.
When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with power.
