To play safe, I prefer to accept only one type of power: the power of art over trash, the triumph of magic over the brute.
I'm not really the sort to reflect or look forward. I prefer concentrating on the now.
I would much prefer to be a judge than a coal miner because of the absence of falling coal.
I generally always eat what I want. I think when you work out a lot, you can afford to eat more because your body's metabolism is higher. I like healthy food and prefer that anyways, but if I want pizza or a can of Coca-Cola every once in a while, I'm going to have it. I just try to have a few slices, and that's it.
I prefer to explore the most intimate moments, the smaller, crystallized details we all hinge our lives on.

Introverts prefer introversion; we tend to gain energy by reflecting and expend energy when interacting. Extroverts have the opposite preference; they tend to gain energy by interacting and expend energy while reflecting.
You see, feminists don't really like to define the Patriarchy. They prefer to keep it nebulous and amorphous so they can conveniently blame it for everything that goes wrong in their lives. Not being paid enough? Patriarchy! Not getting a promotion? Patriarchy! Too many catcalls? Patriarchy! Too few catcalls? Patriarchy!
True, the country is divided, but it's not Right and Left. It's Left and Not Left. It is because, for liberals, politics is personal and therefore extremely loud. For the rest of us, we prefer community over calamity.
Others may prefer mindless entertainment, but on Sunday nights, you'll find me parked right in front of my television, munching popcorn and improving my intellect by watching 'Masterpiece Classic.'
I don't do concept records anymore - I just prefer doing good songs.
I am just old-fashioned enough to prefer long hair.
I prefer love scenes to be shot up close with a lot of focus on eyes and mouths. Otherwise it can feel uncomfortable and voyeuristic.
I much prefer the modern world.
I think the genetics of being Irish are that you sort of prefer when it's rainy and cloudy. It's just genetic.
I prefer being called director Aishwarya Dhanush's husband. She and I share our passion for cinema, but at home, we hardly talk about it. Instead, we share other interests.
I guess many game music fans prefer original soundtrack albums.
To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.

In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.

I don't like to read novels where the novelist tells me what to think about the situation and the characters. I prefer to discover for myself.

After a series of jobs that I prefer not to recall, I was hired in the early eighties as fashion editor of 'New York' magazine.
That is the one single word that the food industry hates: 'addiction.' They much prefer words like 'crave-ability' and 'allure.'
The thing that is uncomfortable is when people kind of stare for a long time and point. That gets weird. I'd much prefer someone to come up to me and say something.
I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half-empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth.
I suppose I would still prefer to sit under a tree with a picnic basket rather than under a gas pump, but signs and comic strips are interesting as subject matter.
I very much prefer the balance in a scene to standing out and so you have to make a decision.
I prefer being as far from the centre of celebrity as possible.
