The problem is you cannot h… (A. R. Ammons)

The problem is you cannot have free global trade with highly restrictive, regulated domestic markets.

Alan Greenspan

Different people get different things out of the images. It doesn't matter what it's about, all that matters is how it makes you feel.

Adam Jones

I want to be the complete midfielder, someone who can defend and attack. Steven Gerrard is someone who's done that very well over the years, and he is someone I am trying to emulate.

Aaron Ramsey

The main lesson I learned from 2015 is that a World Cup doesn't define a player's career.

AB de Villiers

I want to show people that environmentalism can be fun!

Adrian Grenier

If we ask a vague question, such as, 'What is poetry?' we expect a vague answer, such as, 'Poetry is the music of words,' or 'Poetry is the linguistic correction of disorder.'

I grew up with that complet… (Ai Weiwei)

I grew up with that completely fictive idea of motherhood, where the mother never strayed from the kitchen. All the women in my books are very afraid that if they do anything with their minds they won't be complete women. I don't think my daughters' generation has that feeling.

A. S. Byatt

You treat people with greatness and greatness will come back to you.

Afrika Bambaataa

I think the world is run by 'C' students.

Al McGuire

I'm not a fan of being inauthentic.

Adam Grant

Only the other world has substance and reality; only good deeds and holy learning have tangible worth.

Abraham Cahan

I don't believe in the so-called Olympic spirit. I speak from personal experience. When China hosted the Games, it failed to include the people. The event was constructed without regard for their joy.

When I was young, in my ear… (Abbott L. Lowell)

When I was young, in my early films, the freshness, and the raw element in my presence on-screen was coming from my youth, and that naturally goes away with time. But the challenge of an actor is to retain the wonder and innocence alive.

Aditya Roy Kapur

I find television, and particularly live television, very romantic: the idea that there is this small group of people, way up high, in a skyscraper in the middle of Manhattan, beaming this signal out into the night.

Aaron Sorkin

I'm a very style-driven composer, and I like to give every project its own unique stamp.

Alan Menken

The legs that I have made are far more perfect than the ones nature would have given me – my mother's side of the family have awful legs.

Aimee Mullins

No matter your interpretation of Apple's success with its Watch, it has become a leader – and it wasn't first to market.

Adam Lashinsky

You will be courteous to your elders who have explored to the point from which you may advance; and helpful to your juniors who will progress farther by reason of your labors.

I studied at the Hebrew Uni… (Adrienne C. Moore)

I studied at the Hebrew University Medical Faculty, graduated, and was an Israel Defense Forces' combat physician on a Navy ship.

Aaron Ciechanover

I played a very small role in 'Attakathi.'

Aishwarya Rajesh

The beauty of our country is that when it was founded that they took some time to lay out civil liberties in the first 10 Amendments – the Bill of Rights. I'm a firm believer in those civil liberties and the ability to have your own opinion.

Aaron Rodgers

Amboyna seems to present the most favorable opening. Fifty thousand souls are there perishing without the means of life, and the situation of the island is such that a mission there established might, with the blessing of God, be extended to the neighboring islands in those seas.

Adoniram Judson

It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.

Alan Rickman

It's kinda cool to have friends that just do good.

Adrienne C. Moore

Not to say that you shouldn… (Ada Lovelace)

Not to say that you shouldn't strive for success, but don't forget why you're doing it. It's not just for adoration.

Adrian Grenier

First scenes are super-important to me. I'll spend months and months pacing and climbing the walls trying to come up with the first scene. I drive for hours on the freeway.

Aaron Sorkin

It's such a stupid thing to sign a band and then demand a hit right away to instantly recoup the money. The point is, you have to do it by building your own following, and that is not necessarily done by writing instant hits.

Al Jourgensen

Religion works on some people but not on everyone, because it says, 'Stop thinking and accept what I tell you.' That's not valid for people who want to think and reflect.

Abbas Kiarostami

A person without a shadow should keep out of the sun, that is the only safe and rational plan.

Adelbert von Chamisso

I have my hopes, & very distinct ones, too, of one day getting cerebral phenomena such that I can put them into mathematical equations: in short, a law or laws for the mutual actions of the molecules of the brain (equivalent to the law of gravitation for the planetary & sideral world).

Ada Lovelace

The Sicilian Defense album … (Al Unser)

The Sicilian Defense album was never released and never will be if I have anything to do with it. I have not heard it since it was finished. I hope the tapes no longer exist.

Alan Parsons

When in a relationship, you are responsible for another person, too. I don't want to commit unless I am absolutely ready.

Aditya Roy Kapur

Getting people to like my music was challenging at first. It's hard to get people to like your music. There isn't a simple formula that automatically makes people like you.

A Boogie wit da Hoodie

I think losing out on jobs and, you know, being judged on your appearance… I definitely grew a second skin and got used to it, but more so now, I've realised it definitely contributed to a lot of things I feel about myself.

Adwoa Aboah

I'm a doofus from the Valley, a blue-collar guy.

Adam Carolla

I tell all the rookies that come into our series and all the young drivers they can come ask me anything at any time, and we'll give them the straight shoot.

Al Unser

I had flops, I had success…. (Abigail Spencer)

I had flops, I had success.

Agnes Varda

I've barfed in movies before. It seems like it always ends up being Campbell's soup mixed with something else.

Adam Scott

I've seen 48 Stanley Cups in my life. I was about six or seven when I started going to games with my dad.

Al Jourgensen

I just think they're really insecure about themselves sometimes. I know all the girls, but we all work a lot and don't have time to hang out together. They're all really nice; I've never had a problem with any model.

Adriana Lima

I still believe Emmitt has enough left in the tank to be a productive back over the next couple of seasons.

Al Michaels

I'm a big fan of teachers.

Abigail Spencer

I don't drive around Lo… (Abdolkarim Soroush)

I don't drive around London much. Any journey around Islington involves hundreds of speed bumps that seem to tear the bottom of your car off.

Alan Davies

Having a dream, living that dream, losing that dream, dreaming again and then having that dream come true again is one of the greatest feelings ever because I'm stronger.

Aaron Carter

Time is money, and the more breaks given, the less money that is made.

Abby Johnson

The ability to absorb a book and make someone else's words and story your own was exactly was I was doing on stage.

Alan King

It's a pain to draw different-looking humans.

Akira Toriyama

There are all sorts of cries that the leaders of the Green Movement should submit themselves to the supreme leader, but that won't take place. Both sides have to be prepared for a serious negotiation.

I love doing a show that makes no mention of ethnicity.

Al Madrigal

I grew up around New York, graffiti culture.

Adrien Brody

Important principles may, and must, be inflexible.

Abraham Lincoln

It feels very cool to be part of a girl gang.

Aidy Bryant

The biggest misconception about me is the bad-boy image that everyone stuck me into due to my tattoos, drug days and the constant changes I make with my hair color.

A. J. McLean

I always believed in animal spirits. It's not their existence that is new. It's the fact that they are not random events, but actually replicate in-bred qualities of human nature which create those animal spirits.

I don't put people down… (Adnan Sami)

I don't put people down. I build people up. That's how I always wanna be looked at.

Action Bronson

I love the idea of a university as away from capitalist values, where people can do things that don't immediately have to pay their way. It's like a monastery in a way, and that beautiful refuge has been destroyed by dogma about what this stuff is for.

Alain de Botton

Authenticity means erasing the gap between what you firmly believe inside and what you reveal to the outside world.

Adam Grant

My buddy tells me a lot of interesting stories about what goes on in prison – it just makes my head spin about what they deal with on a day-to-day basis.

Aaron Douglas

I've been in a lot of different factions my whole career, and all the guys who made up those factions are different performers. For example, if you look at the Undisputed Era as a whole, I'm very different than Roderick Strong, who's very different from Kyle O'Reilly, who's very different from Bobby Fish.

Adam Cole

I do not think classical music faces any threat because new music is being made through computer, as the real charm of classical is its purity, and one who is seeking purity will surely find classical music in spite of so many alternatives.

Adnan Sami
