think represents the whole people. It represents a poetry

People often ask me what happened to my first husband? And I say, I killed him.
People love me everywhere I go.
I don’t think they’re more temperamental people now. With social media we hear a lot more about it. The nastiness you get online, there were always mean girls – always – they didn’t have such a big forum as they do now. Mean girls ought to get a life, I think.
I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down’.
Facebook has woven itself into the fabric of our lives and the foundation of the Internet. I think everything will be redefined because people are using their real identities on the Internet.

People who say they read more write better.
There is not a single crowned head in Europe whose talents or merit would entitle him to be elected a vestryman by the people of any parish in America.
Noticing when the stoplights are in sync, or calculating the length of your strides between floor tiles – normal people notice that kind of stuff, but a certain kind of person will do some calculations.
People are less self-conscious in the intimacy of family life and during the anxiety of a great sorrow. The dazzling varnish of anextreme politeness is then less in evidence, and the true qualities of the heart regain their proper proportions.
The leader needs to create an environment in which people can analyze the situation and develop a good response.
I don’t think grief of grief in a medical way at all. I think that I and many of my colleagues, are very concerned when grief becomes pathological, that there is no question that grief can trigger depression in vulnerable people and there is no question that depression can make grief worse.
[Freud’s] sense of reality is less clouded by wishful thinking than is the case with other people and [he combines] the qualities of critical judgment, earnestness and responsibility.
The biggest distraction in life to one’s focus is often near locus standing people saying all hocus-pocus.
I think the reason I went into theater, ultimately, was because that was one of multicultural groups. Because you identify with other people that share similar passions to you, so it didn’t matter how much melanin was in their skin.
People knew that Murdoch’s media estate in the UK was too powerful and it was doing very unpleasant things.
I really need to work. People think that I’m no longer interested in acting and only interested in work-ing with the animals. Obviously I have given that impression, but it is not how I feel. I think I’m a good actor. I think I look OK. I don’t understand why I’m not working all the time.
You can never have ‘equality‘ between two things that are not equal by definition. And so, for example, you can have equality among ‘people’, but not between ‘men’ and ‘women’.
If your priorities don’t get scheduled into your planner, other people’s priorities will get put into your planner.
I’ve seen so many people in my life struggle tremendously to fit into those boxes or to live up to those expectations or pressures put upon them by whatever society’s concept of ‘normal’ is. I get frustrated by rules and regulations. I’m frustrated by things that are exclusive to one particular life choice.
I want our pie to grow all the people, but if some other guy’s pie is growing a little faster, that’s terrific.
There’s so many people dependent on our work for their living or their livelihood. You do something whether it works or whether it doesn’t. Once you’re committed and you do it, it becomes a part of your life. I wouldn’t be sorry about it. I’d learn from it.
When people leave my show, I want them to say, ‘I’ve never seen anything like that in my life … It’s amazing. He’s the greatest entertainer in the world.’
The intellectual tension that seems to work its way through this society almost like fat through meat is the tension between scientific reductionism and the deeply felt intuition of most people that there is a spiritual dimension, or a hidden dimension, or a transcendental dimension.
Your tattoos are supposed to be some connection to your personality. That’s a lot more important than going in and just picking one off a wall. I’ve never understood why people get butterflies tattooed on their bottoms or whatever. That’s really weird.
People are always asking me what the world will be like economically in the year 2000. I do know this: in the year 2000, no matter what else happens, there will still be good food in France.
I must add, though, that I don’t believe making disciples must equal making adherents to the Christian religion. It may be advisable in many (not all!) circumstances to help people become followers of Jesus and remain within their Buddhist, Hindu, or Jewish contexts.
People love drama, and if you aren’t really interested in perpetuating that, it keeps you from exploding on a mainstream stage. I’m totally fine with that.
The Internet changes everything. People are online meeting boyfriends and girlfriends, you don’t have to be out drinking and drugging to find somebody nowadays.
Home has always been wherever I am. I’m not very attached to walls – or people, for that matter – so I’ve always loved travelling around. A book in my back pocket, a diary, and a pen is all I need to call any place home.
I think one has to say it’s not just simply a matter of capturing people and holding them accountable, but removing the sanctuaries, removing the support systems…
I remember people would talk about Country Music like it was this sexist, lame thing. Well, no, because Dolly Parton is writing songs and playing her guitar and producing. She’s doing it all and she’s got hits on the radio.
We don’t always help people by doing everything for them. That type of behavior can actually contribute to their problems because it helps then never take responsibility on their own.
People want black and white answers, but it’s not one thing or another. I think the only way we’re going to make good things is to inspire people and make them feel as though what they’re watching is real.
Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born
I didn’t lose. I got second. That’s still winning. How could I be unhappy with second place? There are a million people who would love to be in my position.
God loves happy people.
Most people’s lives are nothing more than pointlessly frantic activity used as a psychological defense against their own impotence and fear.
People with high blood pressure, diabetes – those are conditions brought about by life style. If you change the life style, those conditions will leave.

One of the great ironies of the social media era is that some of the least social people in the world created it.
Grab the good people around you. Don’t let them go.
People who have let go of themselves are so pure that the world cannot harm them.
I’ve been invited to the White House about five times. I think the greatest thing would be if they actually invited everybody to the White House every night… they’d just take about 500 people a night. Everybody would just love this country because it’s so thrilling to go there. It really is.
The older I get, the more I realize I’m becoming people’s role models and that’s freaky to me. That’s not what you intend to do when you set out to be a musician, to be a little 14-year-old’s role model.
People ask me all the time, ‘What keeps you up at night?’ And I say, ‘Spicy People ask me all the time, ‘What keeps you up at night?’ And I say, ‘Spicy Mexican food, weapons of mass destruction, and cyber attacks.’
The only way you’re going to save things in life is through love, and that’s what we’re trying to do …. make people fall in love with Florida.
I like the sense of the road passing my eyes. It’s always a fascinating experience to come into a new city…the sense of the people changing, the food changing, everything changing, the art.
All Buddhas and ordinary people are just one mind. This mind is beyond all measurements, names, oppositions: this very being is it; as soon as you stir your mind you turn away from it.

In the interweave of mind and body, dance is a mode that allows people to work through difficulties, anticipate the future, recollect the past, and confront the present.
I love people. I was born loving people.

I think the Beatles are a lot of people’s favorite band.

I think when I finally got it in my head that I was going to do the story, I wanted to avoid doing what I thought people wanted me to do.
I feel all those human beings to be pernicious who can no longer oppose what they love: they thereby ruin the best things and people.
We as a people, as a state, and as a community, have too much promise, too much potential, and too much at stake to go any other way than forward. We are too strong in our hearts, too innovative in our minds, and too firm in our beliefs to retreat from our goals.
Apologies do make a difference. Believe it or not, research shows people often prefer them over money.
I think I prioritize other people’s opinions of me very highly, which is not necessarily a good thing – it’s a thing that causes a lot of anxiety.
Not everyone reads comics, although most people know the major superheroes, but the majority of people play video games.

The same mentality that leads to environmental despoliation, environmental destruction, also leads to damage to people.
Propose a new concept, most people especially acquaintances will outrightly reject it on knowing that it’s from an ordinary person; but when the same becomes the popular subject, none will ever reflect to accept that they once used to object to the very same idea’s beneficial effect.
A compilation of what outstanding people said or wrote at the age of 20 would make a collection of asinine pronouncements.
Poverty makes people sub-human Excess of wealth makes people inhuman

The one mistake which is committed habitually by people who have the gift of half-genius, is waiting for inspiration.
Rule 1: All rules can be broken. Many (ex-legal and ethical) should be. Most people won’t.
Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.
Ordinary people are capable of doing extraordinary things, and that’s what it’s all about. They must count.
People who don’t know me sometimes call me ‘Mademoiselle.’
Someone once said that many bad policies are just good policies that have been carried too far. For example, we have taken tolerance to such an extreme that we tolerate the immigration into our country of millions of intolerant people who hate millions of Americans who are already here.
The last thing Jews need is to create tension with their best friends. And the last thing Christians need is a renewal of Christian hatred toward Jesus’ people.
I was elected by the Australian people to bring back a fair go for all Australians. I have given my absolute best to do that.
A lot of the kinship that people notice is not coincidental. I was very impressionable and trying to find my role models when I was twelve or thirteen.
So much has to do with going beyond treating black people as cosmetic and symbolic items, as opposed to genuine personalities and human beings. And that is a deep moral and spiritual issue, which can of course be backed up by Civil Rights Commissions which enforce the laws against any form of discrimination.
Children copy their parents, friends, and teachers. They will develop the habits of the people around them. So if you want your child to be honest, peaceful and happy you should be that way first.
People are just greedy animals, after all.
I don’t like show business. I don’t like the business. I love acting. I love this. I love talking to people.
I want to be able to make people laugh and cry and feel happy or sad and feel all these different emotions through singing and acting. Hopefully throughout my career, I’ll get to pursue them.
In an average moral universal society, good people will try to do the right thing, and psychotic people will do wicked things. But if you want to make good people do wicked things, you need them to be religious.
The Mongol conquests are difficult to fathom. Although their most important technology was the horse, they conquered much of the known world from China to Europe, a series of wars that killed tens of millions of people, then a substantial chunk of the world’s population.
It’s nice to work with people who know and trust you.
The truth is the best brands, like the most interesting people, have a keen sense of self.
Hillary Clinton does very well in Pennsylvania generally. I think she connects with the working white people and all kinds of people that normally would have a problem with the modern Democratic Party.
People have tried to put me in a box my whole life. I’m too tall. I’m too pretty. Too Miss USA. Wonder Woman. Prettiest woman in the world. And all of that. It doesn’t matter because I’ve gone my own way and have tried to approach my career from a gut level, doing what I thought was right.
Entrepreneurs are visionaries – they see things other people don’t see.
When the bad stuff was really intense in my life, it was really what you would call writer’s block. Your facility is just not as good because you feel so bad.

People tell me I have the best job in the world, which is true, but I also work with some of the best people in the world.

Whatever the scientists may come up with, writers and artists will continue to portray altered mental states, simply because few aspects of our nature fascinate people so much. The so-called mad person will always represent a possible future for every member of the audience – who knows when such a malady may strike?
Every year in my life, I trust fewer and fewer people.
Management is the art of getting things done through people.
The first rule in keeping secrets is nothing on paper: paper can be lost or stolen or simply inherited by the wrong people; if you really want to keep something secret, don’t write it down.
The best results come when people believe in and feel strongly about the music they are playing. Just as composers write for certain types of performers, performers are also looking for certain things.

It’s important to try to get people to think about women’s wellness.
The American people overwhelmingly want our troops out of Iraq. They want the federal government to take real and immediate action to combat global warming and to significantly expand support for stem cell research.

We would like to get to a point in our society where people really are colorblind and this message would not have to be told anymore. Unfortunately, we’re not there yet.
People have sort of a problem trying to see an end to a situation as being positive or romantic.
The worst thing that ever happened to writing is that it became a business, The purpose of business is to make money, and to achieve that end it is necessary to please as many people as possible, to amuse them, to entertain them – in short, to do everything that will help increase the volume of sales.
[Libertarianism] is about curbing state power to let people be and do what they want. Liberalism is about using state power to make people do and be what liberals want. And that makes all the difference in the world.

Empathy for the people you’re working with and being aware of their needs…that’s the “big kahuna” in managing people.
People find pressure in different ways. I find it in keeping my mind clear. In not turning away from people or the things that happen to them. In accepting and welcoming everything I see. In treating each thing as it deserves.
The problem is not that public schools do not work well, but rather that they do. The first goal and primary function of schools is not to educate good people, but good citizens. It is the function which we normally label state indoctrination.
How do we remember people when they don’t make reservations?
