Alisson
When I’m in Brazil, I’m not Brazilian at all; I am a gringo. And then when I’m in England, I’m not really English, but when I lived in Canada, I was considered too English. So I never really felt like I clicked somewhere or that I belonged to one place.

The rainbow is a part of nature, and you have to be in the right place to see it. It’s beautiful, all of the colors, even the colors you can’t see. That really fit us as a people because we are all of the colors. Our sexuality is all of the colors. We are all the genders, races, and ages.

Stephen Hawking
I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.

It’s really a testament to my parents, because I was active, curious and creative as a child, and my parents nurtured that. But I wouldn’t say that I was a professional child actor at all. I was never the breadwinner of my family.
Sarah Gadon
I was born into a Christian family and brought up in a Lutheran church.

What women really want is opportunity and the freedom to love and accept all aspects of womanhood – the intellectual, spiritual, professional, biological and relational dimensions of who we are.

Woody Harrelson

Michelle Obama
Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation.
Coretta Scott King
You may say, ‘Well, dragons don’t exist.’ It’s, like, yes they do – the category ‘predator’ and the category ‘dragon’ are the same category. It absolutely exists. It’s a superordinate category. It exists absolutely more than anything else. In fact, it really exists.

A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
Orson Welles
I would be a liar, a hypocrite, or a fool – and I’m not any of those – to say that I don’t write for the reader. I do. But for the reader who hears, who really will work at it, going behind what I seem to say. So I write for myself and that reader who will pay the dues.
Maya Angelou

Paul Kantner
Honesty and integrity are absolutely essential for success in life – all areas of life. The really good news is that anyone can develop both honesty and integrity.
Zig Ziglar
Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are.
Arthur Golden
Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen – that stillness becomes a radiance.
Morgan Freeman
My life isn’t focused on results. My life is really focused on the process of doing all the things I’m doing, from work to relationships to friendships to charitable work.
George Clooney
When one has finished building one’s house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way – before one began.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.
Alan Watts
I savor life. When you have anything that threatens life… it prods you into stepping back and really appreciating the value of life and taking from it what you can.
Sonia Sotomayor
‘Presence of God’ is really that understanding that sometimes when you step out of your own shoes and just open your ears and listen to what’s going on around you, you get answers to the questions you were asking.
Dave Gahan
Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
Fred Rogers
I don’t care if someone wants to say something derogatory or spiteful anymore. As I’ve grown older I’ve become wiser to the fact that vindictive people take pride in trying to make other people feel bad. I enjoy my life. If someone doesn’t like what I do, that’s up to them, I really don’t care.
Ian Poulter
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
Carl Sagan
Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.
William James
Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.
Ella Fitzgerald
I like to shower for a really long time; that’s a distraction-free zone for me.
Porter Robinson
To see that I have this huge platform now, and so many people are listening to what I have to say, it really makes me want to orientate toward something that would really educate people, create awareness, do something more than just show them a cute outfit or what I’m having for lunch.
Catriona Gray
I think when people mean that Discworld books have become darker they really mean the series is growing up. In ‘The Colour of Magic’ most of the city is set alight. It’s a joke, in much the same way that the Earth is destroyed almost at the start of Douglas Adams’s ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.’
Terry Pratchett
The Special Olympics motto, ‘Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt,’ really speaks to me because it embodies exactly what I have pursued in my life. Really, that’s all any of us can hope for – a chance to be brave and to pursue a dream.
Hannah Teter
We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.
Earl Nightingale
I want people to really recognize that this is what I am naturally good at: I’m really good at making music and describing your feelings vicariously through my experiences, through my past and my future. I want people to relate to me in multiple ways and be versatile in my music.
A Boogie wit da Hoodie
If you go to a restaurant and you go with people you like, your food will always taste really good.
John Torode
Romantic love is mental illness. But it’s a pleasurable one. It’s a drug. It distorts reality, and that’s the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.
Fran Lebowitz
If you have high IQ, you’re really good at finding post-hoc arguments to support your feelings of truthiness.
Jonathan Haidt
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
Lucille Ball
To catch a piece of life on camera and make it come alive, add layers to it and deliver a product that is wholesome is really exciting to me.
Mani Ratnam
Life is a collage of events, really.
Mohanlal
Being part of the Workshop is like being part of a really big family. Everyone is so close. Everyone feels the success of others who go on to do well. Whatever happens, I will still be part of the Workshop.
Lucy Carless
Zayn’s good to just sit down and chat to about pretty much anything. At the end of the night, we just sit around and talk about our life before One Direction, or anything at all, really.
Louis Tomlinson
I fear that the day I die, I am going to die without accomplishing what I have in my mind. Life is too short, and a lot of things can happen, and I am really keen to see it with my own eyes – and that is why I am in a hurry.
Mohammad bin Salman
Any tool can be used for good or bad. It’s really the ethics of the artist using it.
John Knoll
I’m learning to accept myself. I’m still in the process of learning to love who I am. And it’s been really refreshing and really nice to be able to do that and be okay. I think my fans have brought that out in me.
Dua Lipa
When you feel like an oddball, it never really leaves you. Even now, I’m better around people who are uncomfortable with themselves – the misfits.
Chris Pine
There are practical little things in housekeeping which no man really understands.
Eleanor Roosevelt
As a person, he was wonderful. He really was a great person. He was full of life. He had a great sense of humor. Very talented, of course, but very caring to his parents. There was a very endearing quality about Elvis.
Priscilla Presley
Reality really is theater. There’s no other way to describe it. It’s all so nonsensical, ridiculous and chaotic.
Joe Rogan
I really like women who get emotional about babies and puppies. I’ve met some incredibly cool women who are tough, but the woman you marry should have a really soft side.
Chris Evans
There are times pop music is the end result when I’m in the studio, but I don’t really go in and say, ‘Today I am going to make a pop song,’ but it can happen.
Post Malone
I wish my hair was thicker, and I wish my feet were prettier. My toes are really ugly. I wish my ears were smaller. And my nose could be smaller too.
Britney Spears
I love writing but hate starting. The page is awfully white, and it says, ‘You may have fooled some of the people some of the time, but those days are over, giftless. I’m not your agent, and I’m not your mommy; I’m a white piece of paper. You wanna dance with me?’ and I really, really don’t. I’ll go peaceable-like.
Aaron Sorkin
I think Bitcoin really feels empowering in a sense.
Vitalik Buterin
As long as you feel good in something, it doesn’t matter what other people think. You just have to own it. You’ll never regret wearing something you really love.
Lucy Boynton
All existing things are really one. We regard those that are beautiful and rare as valuable, and those that are ugly as foul and rotten The foul and rotten may come to be transformed into what is rare and valuable, and the rare and valuable into what is foul and rotten.
Zhuangzi
Electricity is really just organized lightning.
George Carlin
You always admire what you really don’t understand.
Blaise Pascal
Natural beauty really entices men. They will tell you this time and time again, and studies consistently prove it.
Helen Fisher
In my life I’ve gone through a lot of really hard times. I went through depression and had so many challenges that I overcame. And I overcame because I just decided to be happy.
Lilly Singh
There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands.
Plato
I have only one eye, I have a right to be blind sometimes… I really do not see the signal!
Horatio Nelson
I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.
Bill Gates
Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.
Martin Luther
It is really interesting to change your hair color after being blond your entire life.
Ross Lynch
I feel like I’m a New Yorker because I really know the city. I actually tell the drivers where to go – I have this bad habit, I always question the drivers. I do that all the time because I feel like I know the best way, when really it’s like, ‘Yo, man, shut up. This dude does this every day of his life.’
J. Cole
If we can understand that death is not the end but is really a transition into the next life, the great part of life, that frees us up into receiving God’s courage and his help.
Max Lucado
At the end of the day, life is about being happy being who you are, and I feel like we are so blessed to have the support system and the best family to really just support each other no matter what we’re going through.
Kim Kardashian
Women are capable of doing so many things these days, physically, emotionally, within relationships and career. There are so many things that women have evolved into and I feel really proud about where women are right now.
Cameron Diaz
You can always enhance your natural beauty; you learn what works for your face because crazy make-up doesn’t really suit anyone.
Caroline Winberg
I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was worthy of an anniversary. And most girlfriends never made it to a year, anyway.
Wale
All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.
Bob Dylan
People have all these preconceptions about me. Whereas if you look at the roles, Henry Hill was the nicest guy in ‘Goodfellas!’ I was a nice guy too in the comedy ‘Heartbreakers.’ And I was a really sweet father to Johnny Depp in ‘Blow!’
Ray Liotta
America is a country founded on guns. It’s in our DNA. It’s very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don’t feel safe, I don’t feel the house is completely safe, if I don’t have one hidden somewhere. That’s my thinking, right or wrong.
Brad Pitt
All action takes place, so to speak, in a kind of twilight, which like a fog or moonlight, often tends to make things seem grotesque and larger than they really are.
Carl von Clausewitz
In football, the result is an impostor. You can do things really, really well but not win. There’s something greater than the result, more lasting – a legacy.
Xavi
I think I look really weird with short hair. So I figured if I’ve got a mustache, I think it looks less creepy with long hair. Like a wild look.
Steven Adams
It’s a tough world out there and all the guys are fighting hard and the competition is really tough.
Guy Forget
A remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good in spite of all the people who say he is very good.
Robert Graves
The game of basketball brings people together. It really doesn’t matter where you are coming from. It’s a game all of us love.
Vlade Divac
The past is the past, but if you’re overanalyzing or trying to repeat it, you’re gonna get stuck. I just had a wonderful youth, and I loved everything about it, so I really try and hang on to it.
Chris Evans
If there’s a book you really want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.
Toni Morrison
The American Dream is a term that is often used but also often misunderstood. It isn’t really about becoming rich or famous. It is about things much simpler and more fundamental than that.
Marco Rubio
While we walking, while we breathing, we dying… I be really feeling like, even though we live to die, some people be dying to live.
Kodak Black
There comes a point in your life when you realize how quickly time goes by, and how quickly it has gone. Then it really speeds up exponentially. With that, I think you start to put a lot of things into context; you start to see how huge the world is, and really, the universe.
Michael Keaton
I didn’t ask to be a role model. I don’t like that responsibility. But if you see something in me that you really adore, thank you.
Wendy Williams
Food is a lot of people’s therapy – when we say comfort food, we really mean that. It’s releasing dopamine and serotonin in your brain that makes you feel good.
Brett Hoebel
The trickster’s function is to break taboos, create mischief, stir things up. In the end, the trickster gives people what they really want, some sort of freedom.
Tom Robbins
Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew.
Cicely Tyson
In family relationships, ‘love’ is really spelled ‘t-i-m-e,’ time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
You have to get under the hood and spend some quality time with someone to understand what they’re really good at.
Aileen Lee
Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.
Christopher Morley
I’m a big believer in that if you focus on good skin care, you really won’t need a lot of makeup.
Demi Moore
They say people live to be happy. If you actually think about what happiness is, it’s nothing much. When you get to eat ramen after feeling really, really hungry, that’s happiness.
RM
To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Particularly Instagram, people look like they have a much better life than they really do. People basically seem like they are way better-looking than they really are, and they are way happier-seeming than they really are.
Elon Musk
I’ve met some incredible people who I really admire.
Taron Egerton
I’ve been actually really very pleased to see how much awareness was raised around bullying, and how deeply it affects everyone. You know, you don’t have to be the loser kid in high school to be bullied. Bullying and being picked on comes in so many different forms.
Lady Gaga
You really don’t find too many good people. You really don’t. Keep them around.
Playboi Carti
Originality is really important.
Jim Carrey
I’ve never regretted anything I’ve done, even the things that I’ve failed at. I’ve often regretted not trying something really big, because you’ll never know.
Dean Kamen
To write a good song, an artist has to drawn from reality. There has to be some spark from realism that communicates a real feeling to someone else. You have to be real. Or you have to be a really good storyteller.
Daryl Hall
You can win more friends with your ears than with your mouth. People who feel like they’re being listened to feel accepted and appreciated. They feel like they’re being taken seriously and what they say really matters.
Harvey Mackay
I hope I’m not a tourist attraction – I’m sure that they come here really because St. Andrews is just amazing, a beautiful place.
Prince William
I want to be relaxed in my personal life. I really don’t like to be hassled.
Virat Kohli
I’m really exciting. I smile a lot, I win a lot, and I’m really sexy.
Serena Williams
I just really love doing what I do. I know every career is fleeting and there will be time periods when I don’t get the opportunities that I’m getting right now, so I am taking advantage of them.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Man, I really like Vegas.
Elvis Presley
Once upon a time, I was really lost. I was 18 going on 19, and I was shy. All I want to do is get money, and the way I was thinking I was going to do that was a negative route.
Lil Durk
Really I feel less keen about the Army every day. I think the Church would suit me better.
Winston Churchill
I believe there’s an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.
Sylvester Stallone
Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply themselves in the right way to philosophy are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death.
Socrates
I’m a really nice guy when you meet me, and that surprises a lot of people. I’m not that eccentric in real life – and certainly not that disrespectful. In my own time, I like to just chill out with friends and not get in people’s faces.
KSI
I keep saying this, and I truly mean this: I think that when you experience true love, it never really goes away.
Inbar Lavi
I haven’t been baptised. My dad’s not in the church and is not a religious person. My mum is more spiritual – she does Thai-chi and goes to Stonehenge and things like that. I’m proud to be pagan. Finland is not really a religious country. I’m still looking for my god.
Ville Valo
I just think that VR and AR are going to be a really big deal.
Mark Zuckerberg
If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost.
Zig Ziglar
As you become more clear about who you really are, you’ll be better able to decide what is best for you – the first time around.
Oprah Winfrey
Honestly, I never really put the mic down.
Eminem
I really believe in the environmental movement right now – it only takes a little effort to make a big difference.
Brooke Burke
One look at an email can rob you of 15 minutes of focus. One call on your cell phone, one tweet, one instant message can destroy your schedule, forcing you to move meetings, or blow off really important things, like love, and friendship.
Jacqueline Leo
You have to rely on your preparation. You got to really be passionate and try to prepare more than anyone else, and put yourself in a position to succeed, and when the moment comes you got to enjoy, relax, breathe and rely on your preparation so that you can perform and not be anxious or filled with doubt.
Steve Nash
He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend; provided, of course, he really is dead.
Voltaire
Look. Art knows no prejudice, art knows no boundaries, art doesn’t really have judgement in it’s purest form. So just go, just go.
K. D. Lang
I believe the only thing that we really have control over is our attitude. If we focus on the positive things in our lives and learn how to cope with all the surprises, we will be happier people.
Brandon Jenner
If you are not living this moment, you are not really living.
Eckhart Tolle
Sometimes we fall, sometimes we stumble, but we can’t stay down. We can’t allow life to beat us down. Everything happens for a reason, and it builds character in us, and it tells us what we are about and how strong we really are when we didn’t think we could be that strong.
Gail Devers
I think the biggest misconception about me is people really don’t know who I really am. They see the party side of me, they see the crazy side of me. But I also have a laid-back side. You know, I’m chill, down to earth. If you want to grab a cup of coffee and just talk about life, I can do that.
Nicole Polizzi
There are just some really beautiful people in the world. When you’re walking down the street, or you’re at a restaurant, someone catches your eye because they have their own look. It goes way beyond what they’re wearing – into their mannerisms, the way they smile, or just the way they hold themselves.
Mary-Kate Olsen
I like anywhere with a beach. A beach and warm weather is all I really need.
Rob Gronkowski
History never really says goodbye. History says, ‘See you later.’
Eduardo Galeano
I really get inspired by songs. Like, if I hear a thug ‘Want to kill ya’ song, I’m ready to go out and get crazy. Or if you hear this really sexual, sensual slow song, I want to go have sex. I’m very animalistic when it comes to stuff like that. Very basic emotions.
Channing Tatum
It sounds really corny but I think that if you’re beautiful inside it shows on the outside, for sure.
Kate Moss
Reggae music don’t really focus on one thing, you know. If reggae music is speaking about the struggle of people, and the suffering, it don’t mean black people. It mean people in general.
Burning Spear
Understand that everybody has their own struggles, regardless of whether you can see it or not. Just surround yourself with the people who love you, and know you’re not really alone.
Molly Tarlov
I really just want to be warm yellow light that pours over everyone I love.
Conor Oberst
No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.
Nelson Mandela
When one’s expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have.
Stephen Hawking
One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.
Lewis Carroll
What consumerism really is, at its worst is getting people to buy things that don’t actually improve their lives.
Jeff Bezos
Music’s always been really cathartic. It’s the best drug for me to get away from the everyday pressures just for a second via a good song.
Ville Valo
I’m really quite simple. I plant flowers and watch them grow… I stay at home and watch the river flow.
George Harrison
One of my favorite things to do is to play music really loud and dance my butt off in the morning. I’ll do it alone in my apartment. You can’t have a bad day after that.
Allison Williams
It’s either love or hate with me. People really can hate me.
Lil Peep
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’
Eleanor Roosevelt
To the soul, there is no past and no future; all is, and will be ever, in now. For artificial purposes time is mutually agreed on, but there is really no such thing.
Richard Jefferies
The main advantage of blockchain technology is supposed to be that it’s more secure, but new technologies are generally hard for people to trust, and this paradox can’t really be avoided.
Vitalik Buterin
What the world really needs is more love and less paper work.
Pearl Bailey
I don’t really be putting no limitations or projections on myself. I just go do it.
Roddy Ricch
Having Black hair is unique in that Black women change up styles a lot. You can walk down one street block in New York City and see 10 different hairstyles that Black women are wearing: straight curls, short cuts, braids – we really run the gamut.
Queen Latifah
I never looked at my parents’ marriage or really anyone who had been married more than 30 years and thought, ‘I gotta get me some of that!’
Mike Birbiglia
A daily portion is really all we need. We do not need tomorrow’s supply, for that day has not yet dawned, and its needs are still unborn.
Charles Spurgeon
I really rebel against this idea that politics has to be a place full of ego and where you’re constantly focused on scoring hits against each one another. Yes, we need a robust democracy, but you can be strong, and you can be kind.
Jacinda Ardern
Most people don’t care if you’re telling them the truth or if you’re telling them a lie, as long as they’re entertained by it. You find that out really fast.
Tom Waits
What you don’t see backstage is what really controls the show.
Sarah Sutton
There are two different things: there’s grilling, and there’s barbecue. Grilling is when people say, ‘We’re going to turn up the heat, make it really hot and sear a steak, sear a burger, cook a chicken.’ Barbecue is going low and slow.
Guy Fieri
We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves.
Paul Gauguin
The secret of living a life of excellence is merely a matter of thinking thoughts of excellence. Really, it’s a matter of programming our minds with the kind of information that will set us free.
Charles R. Swindoll
This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I realised that success and pure creativity are not very compatible. The more successful you become, the more you become a product of something that generates money. Instead of being able to move forward freely and do what you really wish, you find yourself stuck and obliged to repeat yourself and your previous success.
Vangelis
I don’t care too much what happened in the past. I prefer to focus on what is coming next and I am really looking forward to it.
Sebastian Vettel
You don’t know what people are really like until they’re under a lot of stress.
Tim Allen
Exploration is really the essence of the human spirit.
Frank Borman
It’s really hard coming of age in today’s society, where society wants you to make the decision of what you want to do with your life by the time you’re 16 years old. Most kids don’t know what they want to do. How could they? They haven’t lived in the real world yet.
Rooney Mara
The long, forensic interview really matters.
Jonathan Dimbleby
If we can’t begin to agree on fundamentals, such as the elimination of the most abusive forms of child labor, then we really are not ready to march forward into the future.
Alexis Herman
I really want to see New Zealand; it’s a beautiful place.
Caroline Wozniacki
It has been great journey from where I have started to where I am today. I am really blessed with God’s grace.
Dhanush
There really can be no peace without justice. There can be no justice without truth. And there can be no truth, unless someone rises up to tell you the truth.
Louis Farrakhan
I’ve never really tried to copy anyone; I like to have my own style.
Liam Aiken
I’m an outdoorsy person. I really enjoy the hiking in L.A.
Matt Lanter
When I eat with my friends, it is a moment of real pleasure, when I really enjoy my life.
Monica Bellucci
I’m a really natural person; I love nature.
Lindsey Wixson
Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say ‘infinitely’ when you mean ‘very’; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
C. S. Lewis
Look at growth, look at how much time people spend on the Net and look at the variety of things that they are doing. It’s all really good, so I am actually encouraged by the fundamentals that underlie usage growth on the Net.
Meg Whitman
I always wanted to be a femme fatale. Even when I was a young girl, I never really wanted to be a girl. I wanted to be a woman.
Diane von Furstenberg
If you want to relax, watch the clouds pass by if you’re laying on the grass, or sit in front of the creek; just doing nothing and having those still moments is what really rejuvenates the body.
Miranda Kerr
Growing up, I knew I was different. But I didn’t know what it meant to be Aboriginal. I just knew that I had a really big, extended family. I was taught nothing about who we were or where we came from.
Adam Goodes
There’s a reason I live in the Maine woods, where nobody knows what I do for a living. I think you can be better if someone who’s coming to see you perform has no idea who you really are.
Janet McTeer
If a woman is confident, she believes in herself and is really happy from the inside, you’ll see that glow.
Pia Wurtzbach
When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it’s like giving them emotional oxygen.
Stephen Covey
My sun and my moon signs are mostly Cancer – it’s really strong. We’re deeply intuitive and sentimental. I really like to take care of people, nurturing them. I’m very passionate about the things I do and like to see people I love grow.
Kali Uchis
Miami is one of these great places that is a really sensual, physically beautiful place.
Michael Mann
I’m really interested in smells. I think I’d like to own a perfumery someday.
Kurt Cobain
A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars.
Carly Simon
You have to develop ways so that you can take up for yourself, and then you take up for someone else. And so sooner or later, you have enough courage to really stand up for the human race and say, ‘I’m a representative.’
Maya Angelou
You can only hate someone whom you have the capacity to love, because if you are really indifferent, you cannot even get up the enough energy to hate him.
Sri Chinmoy
I think people really underestimate the power of just wanting to do it, and hard work, and competitive spirit, and preparation.
Joe Burrow
Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven’t time, and to see takes time – like to have a friend takes time.
Georgia O’Keeffe
Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party.
Robin Williams
It was wrong to capture wild animals and confine them in captivity for people to go and gawk at them. And that’s basically how zoos got started. But once you do that, and once you have animals that have been bred in captivity, you’re really stuck with them in some sense. You can’t return them to the wild.
Peter Singer
You really don’t have to be rich to be sosy. It’s just really a mentality and how you want to carry yourself. You enjoy life.
Heart Evangelista
Death is with you all the time; you get deeper in it as you move towards it, but it’s not unfamiliar to you. It’s always been there, so what becomes unfamiliar to you when you pass away from the moment is really life.
bell hooks
I’m grateful to intelligent people. That doesn’t mean educated. That doesn’t mean intellectual. I mean really intelligent. What black old people used to call ‘mother wit’ means intelligence that you had in your mother’s womb. That’s what you rely on. You know what’s right to do.
Maya Angelou
Most of us aren’t defeated in one decisive battle. We are defeated one tiny, seemingly insignificant surrender at a time that chips away at who we should really be.
Jocko Willink
What did Christ really do? He hung out with hard-drinking fishermen.
Iggy Pop
First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So Black people need to get the credit for that.
Carlos Santana
I’ve really had two heroes in my life. My father and Ronald Reagan.
Ted Cruz
It’s really rare in life that a situation is as black and white as we tend to paint it.
Aesop Rock
Where would you be without friends? The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends – your own chosen family. There’s nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing.
Jennifer Aniston
I’m an enigma, an unknown. You can’t really figure out what I’m going to do next. I like it like that.
Emmitt Smith
Gold medals aren’t really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.
Dan Gable
The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.
Anna Quindlen
Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it’s very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.
Nelson Mandela
Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I’ve never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl.
Anne Frank
I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn’t.
Kurt Cobain
Melody is king, and don’t you ever forget it. Lyrics appear to be out front, but they’re not; they’re just an accompanying factor. If they’re good, you’re really in good shape. Lyrics are written to be rewritten.
Quincy Jones
A controlled carbohydrate lifestyle really prevents risk factors for heart disease.
Robert Atkins
I had a really good childhood up until I was nine, then a classic case of divorce really affected me.
Kurt Cobain
As a teacher I realize that what one learns in school doesn’t serve for very much at all, that the only thing one can really learn is self-understanding, and this is something that can’t be taught.
Laura Esquivel
Remember that you don’t choose love; love chooses you. All you really can do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing then reach out and give it away.
Kent Nerburn
When you make the right decision, it doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks.
Caroline Kennedy
I live my life and play my music, and I don’t really seek out other people’s approval or accolades or things like that. I try to do what’s true to me, and how it all comes out is fine.
Kenny G
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
Theodore Roosevelt
It sounds simple telling people to work hard and never quit, but to really execute and demonstrate those principles takes discipline and faith. Those are the two factors that I believe separate the good from the great, the successes from the failures.
Nipsey Hussle
A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Boeing just took $20 billion and 10 years to improve the efficiency of their planes by 10 percent. That’s pretty lame. I have a design in mind for a vertical liftoff supersonic jet that would be a really big improvement.
Elon Musk
You can’t have everything you want, but you can have the things that really matter to you.
Marissa Mayer
It’s such a funny thing when you see your daughter transitioning from your baby, your little girl, to suddenly being a young woman. If you’re not really looking for it, you can miss it, and Lily-Rose is on that road already, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.
Johnny Depp
In twenty years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.
Mary Schmich
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
Sophia Loren
I really try to put myself in uncomfortable situations. Complacency is my enemy.
Trent Reznor
What we really are matters more than what other people think of us.
Jawaharlal Nehru
I think there’s something really powerful about being yourself.
Boy George
I do not have a problem, I enjoy gambling, but I think people are trying to make it seem like I have a problem, because people really don’t know.
Michael Jordan
I never have really become accustomed to the ‘John.’ Nobody ever really calls me John… I’ve always been Duke or Marion or John Wayne. It’s a name that goes well together, and it’s like one word – John Wayne.
John Wayne
The risk for me would be in not taking one – that’s the only thing that’s really risky for me.
Kanye West
You can really only enjoy life when you’re extremely busy.
Josephine de La Baume
To be or not to be. That’s not really a question.
Jean-Luc Godard
I don’t think I’ve had love at first sight. But, I’ve definitely had moments where I’ve seen a person, and I’m like, ‘Wow, there is something different about you, and I really want to get to know you.’
Josh Hutcherson
I have discovered in life that there are ways of getting almost anywhere you want to go, if you really want to go.
Langston Hughes
The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don’t really even notice it, so it’s part of everyday life.
Bill Gates
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
John Wooden
My number one thing? Don’t overleverage yourself. Don’t say you can do something when you really can’t.
Matthew McConaughey
What is a moderate interpretation of the text? Halfway between what it really means and what you’d like it to mean?
Antonin Scalia
This life that has been given to us as a gift, as such a precious gift. To really try to understand it, really try to recognize it, is the greatest meditation. Through the media of this Knowledge we can tap into our inner sources that are so beautiful.
Prem Rawat
There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It’s really great.
Jim Mattis
That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. So to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something.
Meredith Monk
If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
Bear Bryant
It is what a man thinks of himself that really determines his fate.
Henry David Thoreau
Basically I wake up in the morning and I think everything’s going to be great. I’m really kind of optimistic, and I look forward to a new day. I pick up ‘The New York Times,’ and I look at the front page and realize that once again I’m wrong. I start to fixate on stuff.
Lewis Black
To be a feminist, you could cut your hair really short. You have to be really angry about something.
Tucker Carlson
My favorite movie is ‘Imitation of Life.’ It’s just a true love story, and it really touched me.
Vanna White
If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.
Orville Wright
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
Anne Frank
I really think that I don’t mind people sleeping during my films, because I know that some very good films might prepare you for sleeping or falling asleep or snoozing. It’s not to be taken badly at all. This is something I really mean.
Abbas Kiarostami
But love is really more of an interactive process. It’s about what we do not just what we feel. It’s a verb, not a noun.
bell hooks
You really don’t need to wear any make-up most of the time; keep your eyebrows the way they are, and find your own natural beauty signature.
Erin Heatherton
With rock music, the amount of power that you can generate, the intensity behind the intentions of your lyrics that you can really reflect through rock music – you can’t do that in jazz. You can’t do that with classical.
Serj Tankian
Sometimes people make it seem like you have to have certain prerequisites or a crazy life story in order to be successful in this world. But the truth is you really don’t.
Stephen Curry
What you wear – and it always starts with your shoes – determines what kind of character you are. A woman who wears high heels carries herself very different to a girl who wears sneakers or sandals. It really helps determine how you carry yourself.
Winona Ryder
I am blessed to have a family like mine. If you have a good family then nothing else really matters.
Suniel Shetty
We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.
John Lennon
Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
I really want to be a villain.
Isaac Hempstead Wright
Basically, when you get to my age, you’ll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.
Warren Buffett
By the end of my career I just really hated being out there on that field and being subjected to what was happening to me.
Adam Goodes
What is a soul? It’s like electricity – we don’t really know what it is, but it’s a force that can light a room.
Ray Charles
If your concentration is getting bad, take up bass fishing. It will really improve your ability to focus. If you aren’t ready when that fish hits, you can’t set the hook.
Lee Trevino
I’m obsessed with the power of music and image together. There’s also something about music videos that are incredibly glamorous – there’s a fetishistic aesthetic to them that you don’t really see in movies in the same way.
Max Minghella
I would say if you have a dream, follow it. It doesn’t really matter whether you are a woman or from India or from wherever.
Kalpana Chawla
Perhaps one of the only positive pieces of advice that I was ever given was that supplied by an old courtier who observed: Only two rules really count. Never miss an opportunity to relieve yourself; never miss a chance to sit down and rest your feet.
Edward VIII
Really you just gotta keep chugging along and keep a positive attitude and get through all the problems. You gotta face them, otherwise you don’t get through.
Lesley Gore
Black Lives Matter is the ultimate divisive movement. They aren’t shy about what they don’t like, which is western civilization, capitalism, and the rule of law. They really dislike the police, and certainly get the credit for the war between black men and police.
Milo Yiannopoulos
I won’t insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
I think you need to go through some stuff to really appreciate life and understand what it means to persevere, overcome and have faith. I think those tough times make you a stronger person.
Judith Hill
Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object.
Ram Dass
A positive attitude can really make dreams come true – it did for me.
David Bailey
I do know there are a lot of people who seem to be in my corner, and that’s, of course, wonderful. I’m really more interested in the nomination than in the award, because I think the nomination just puts you within a group of outstanding actors.
Morgan Freeman
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
James Dean
We really have the most beautiful planet in our solar system. None other can sustain life like we know it. None other has blue water and white clouds covering colorful landmasses filled with thriving, beautiful, living things like human beings.
Sunita Williams
Maori get pigeonholed into the idea they’re spiritual and telling stories like ‘Whale Rider’ and ‘Once Were Warriors,’ quite serious stuff, but we’re pretty funny people, and we never really have had an opportunity to show that side of ourselves, the clumsy, nerdy side of ourselves, which is something I am.
Taika Waititi
Really, at the end of the day, the only thing you can control is yourself; the only person you can truly educate is yourself. You have to redefine what beauty is to you so you can’t be affected by what people are saying.
Rupi Kaur
You can have anything you want, but not everything. If it was really important to spend an afternoon at my daughter’s school, I had to think, how was I going to organize my life to do that? How could I become more efficient? I always tried to put my priorities on the table, personal and professional, and work around them.
Laura Lang
Something I like to do a lot is just sit by water when there’s a current and just stare into the water. I don’t fish, I don’t hunt, I don’t scuba, I don’t spear, don’t boat, don’t play basketball or football – I excel at staring into space. I’m really good at that.
Iggy Pop
I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn’t lived long enough to experience. That’s why I also believe in reincarnation, that we were put here with ideas to pass around.
Willie Nelson
If you really have your own identity you’ll keep on doing what you think is really right for you, and you’ll also understand the next step you want to take.
Helmut Lang
I’ve got quite a big gay following. I played a lesbian prostitute in the TV series ‘Band Of Gold’ but I think my following really grew when I played one in the film ‘Imagine Me & You,’ with Piper Perabo.
Lena Headey
I think I can always look back and say my mom and dad would have done this or suggested that in a particular situation. I just really feel blessed to have had them as parents.
Tony Dungy
You’ve got to be in a bad relationship to really understand what a great one is.
Steve Harvey
I loved school, maybe too much, really. I was summa cum laude in high school. I was driven that way.
Robin Williams
Happiness, the feeling of positivity, really is the foundation of productivity.
Miguel McKelvey
Control is not real, and I’m really understanding that every day. It’s about the acceptance of relinquishing control that makes it powerful for you.
SZA
As a DJ, I’m really focused on the crowd. I never play the same set. I always look at the crowd, try to read what they want, and always look at the signs, point at people.
Hardwell
I don’t have too many friends. I have only a few people who I really love.
Stanley Donen
Diet is really important, and I think vitamins are really important, also.
Glenn Danzig
Rich people never go to war. You ask a college kid to go to war, and he’s like, ‘Umm, I’m taking this sociology class, and I think war is, like, really stupid, and my roommate’s, like, half Afghani, so it’s going to cause some static.’
Bill Burr
I’ve been to Disneyland, like, 10 times. I’m getting really tired of Disneyland.
Elon Musk
Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows, but the raps aren’t really about anything – which is cool sometimes, but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things.
J. Cole
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
Oscar Wilde
I never think of yesterday. Can’t do anything about it. I’m a positive guy. When you really deep down look at it, we go to bed every night, get up every morning, stay here for 70 or 80 years, and then we die.
Lee Trevino
Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint.
Pablo Picasso
What I treasure the most is people coming up to me in the elevator and saying, ‘You really did a great job’: neighbours who congratulate for a job well done or little fans who hug me and say they want to be like me.
Jackie Shroff
People intoxicate themselves with work so they won’t see how they really are.
Aldous Huxley
The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.
Euripides
Really, every day is the perfect day to boss up. Every day that you wake up is a perfect day to boss up. It’s all about continuing to put one foot in front of the next. That’s what it’s about. Whatever you think you’re going through, just put one foot in front of the next.
Rick Ross
Financial support is one thing, but I always think what becomes really sacrificial is your time.
Cliff Richard
Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
William Wallace
For me, I like to be a little bit tomboy but still look like a lady. Pretty tough. Or really, really, really pretty.
Hailey Baldwin
I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don’t think that’s only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that.
Kevin Bacon
Make yourself look really stupid so you don’t feel bad doing something a little stupid.
Mark Hoppus
You learn about equality in history and civics, but you find out life is not really like that.
Arthur Ashe
The Internet is so crazy, and you’re exposed to so many things. In an hour, you can really jump around.
Bo Burnham
Space music’d be really something… but they don’t have no gravity up there. You couldn’t have no downbeat!
Miles Davis
I don’t in any way disparage any time I’ve had in the trenches because it really has made me the artist I am today.
Billy Porter
I have never written that there is a threat of fascism in America. I always considered the idea overwrought. But now I believe there really is such a threat – and it will come draped not in an American flag, but in the name of tolerance and health.
Dennis Prager
If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awake – Aye, what then?
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
My hair is different than a lot of people’s. I like my hair. I like the fade. I like the little design I have. I’m cool with it. Obviously my hair is thin on top, so it looks like a bald spot, but I really could care less.
Trae Young
Knowing is not understanding. There is a great difference between knowing and understanding: you can know a lot about something and not really understand it.
Charles Kettering
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
Khalil Gibran
I’ll always be reading a good book. I don’t have, like, specific genre tastes or anything or things that I kind of get hooked on, reading genre books or anything like that. It’s just really anything anyone kind of recommends or is going around or I hear is good.
Dylan O’Brien
I like to think of ideas as potential energy. They’re really wonderful, but nothing will happen until we risk putting them into action.
Mae Jemison
There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
Kin Hubbard
I’m not vicious really. I consider myself to be kindhearted. I love my mum.
Sid Vicious
It’s really important to have balance, spend some time in nature, go to a few parties, enjoy my friends and really chill out.
Joakim Noah
I really try to enjoy life and have joy with what I do.
Tim Tebow
Surround yourself with smart, dedicated people – to build something isn’t a one-man show. It’s more important to have smart people who really believe in what you’re doing than really experienced people who may not share your dream.
Niklas Zennstrom
I am really surprised bitcoin isn’t more popular in India, given the strong gold culture here. I call it Gold 2.0. It has all the attributes other than the fact that it isn’t tangible, and tangibility is less important in the digital age.
Brock Pierce
I’m really stubborn, and I’m okay with that.
Melanie Martinez
People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.
Alan Kay
I think every person has their own identity and beauty. Everyone being different is what is really beautiful. If we were all the same, it would be boring.
Tila Tequila
If you really want to make a friend, go to someone’s house and eat with him… the people who give you their food give you their heart.
Cesar Chavez
I’m so smart. I am good at doing math really quickly in my head.
Mitski
I just want to say, don’t be afraid, believe in yourself, whatever comes your way you have to experience it to really know what that is. So if you have too much fear inside you may let go of certain opportunities or chances, so trust in yourself and stick with it.
Jisoo
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.
Steve Jobs
I don’t really have a choice. I’m getting older.
Annette Bening
The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.
Friedrich August von Hayek
You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.
Paul Walker
We live in a world with fake news being put out there. You don’t really know what to trust, and it’s a real danger to society.
Austin Aries
While drawing, I discover what I really want to say.
Dario Fo
I was a really lousy artist as a kid. Too abstract expressionist; or I’d draw a big ram’s head, really messy. I’d never win painting contests. I remember losing to a guy who did a perfect Spiderman.
Jean-Michel Basquiat
It’s really important for children to have good morals and good manners, and that they’re thoughtful of other people and that they learn the consequences of their actions.
Jerry Hall
I’m an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals.
Steve Jobs
I think… all of the best public cryptographers in the world would agree that you can’t really build back doors in crypto. That it’s like drilling a hole in the windshield.
Alex Stamos
I hope that I’m always struggling, really. You develop when you’re struggling. When you’re struggling, you get stronger.
Andrew Garfield
Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it’s like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You’d better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that’s really the only unique situation that’s going to be left.
David Bowie
All girls like guys who are tough. Obviously, riding a motorcycle – I don’t want to say that there’s a bad boy quality – but there’s definitely a tough and macho thing about a guy who rides a motorcycles and that element of danger. That’s really sexy.
Marisa Miller
What really raises one’s indignation against suffering is not suffering intrinsically, but the senselessness of suffering.
Friedrich Nietzsche
During the Great Depression, African Americans were faced with problems that were not unlike those experienced by the most disadvantaged groups in society. The Great Depression had a leveling effect, and all groups really experienced hard times: poor whites, poor blacks.
William Julius Wilson
