To be very honest, I cannot drape a saree myself. I have never draped one on my own, ever. But it has been done on me so many times, that now I have memorised all the steps, and if someone challenges me, I will surely be able to do it.
Let us tell our legislators in advance, that this is a right, restraints on which, we will not, cannot bear; and that every attempt to restrain it is a palpable wrong on God and man.
In the dim background of mind we know what we ought to be doing but somehow we cannot start.
The best thing going for us is Al Gore. I cannot conceive how the American people could elect him. On the other hand, I couldn't conceive how they could elect a Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton - especially Clinton in '96.
Terrorist groups and their extremist state sponsors cannot be fought with kid gloves and flowery words of persuasion. As the U.S. has displayed in Afghanistan and in Iraq, only a vigilant and determined campaign of confrontation can deter and obstruct them.
A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.
I cannot permit you to disrupt the Paramount schedule.
If the British government is prepared to say that the Unionists will not have a veto over British government policy and that guns, vetoes and injustices will all be left outside the door, then there is no good reason why talks cannot take place in an appropriate atmosphere.
One could say that in case of need, every normal and healthy woman is able to hold a position. And there is no profession which cannot be practiced by a woman.
A writer may tell me that he thinks man will ultimately become an ostrich. I cannot properly contradict him.
Ireland cannot become the collector general for the world. We can only tax on profits generated in the country here.
I cannot pretend to be impartial about the colours. I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.
If you are a married man resident in Cuba, you cannot get a passport to go to the next town without your wife's permission in writing.
People who are mean or unkind or rigid - think about it - cannot laugh at themselves.
You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
I just read an 800-page history of the Scottish Enlightenment and, honestly, I may as well just start it again now, because I cannot remember a single thing. I can barely remember where Scotland is.
We are going to finish this picture just the way I want it... because you cannot compromise an artist's vision.
We must trust to nothing but facts: these are presented to us by nature and cannot deceive. We ought, in every instance, to submit our reasoning to the test of experiment, and never to search for truth but by the natural road of experiment and observation.
We cannot both preach and administer financial matters.
We cannot afford to lose the Medicaid funding for low-income women.
We are comfortable with the fact that we cannot know personally what happened in the world before we were born, yet we are uncomfortable with the notion that we will stop engaging with time at some point in the future.
I'm just going to write because I cannot help it.
He who cannot give anything away cannot feel anything either.
News, news, news - that is what we want. You cannot beat news in a newspaper.
The reconnection of society, economy and ethics is a project we cannot postpone.
I am a woman, and I am Jewish; I'm a film-maker, and I'm a writer, so you cannot just put me in one box.
Investments in women are positively correlated to growth, prosperity, stability, democracy, health - and vital to our national security. We cannot write off the talent of half the world and expect to confront our challenges.
I cannot doubt that women will line up, like the men elected, with the groups whose political thinking and convictions are in accord with their own political convictions.
When my dad came here, he came on a scholarship in the late '60s, and he went to Mississippi State. My dad is not a large man. So there's a little Taiwanese guy walking around Mississippi in, like, 1966, and I cannot imagine what that must have been like.
Americans cannot realize how many chances for mental improvement they lose by their inveterate habit of keeping six conversations when there are twelve in the room.
I also like to follow nature's rhythm. In times or places, they have their own rhythm. So you cannot push it. So we must accept that as well. Wherever we're born at this time, we just live it.
There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything.
I have been frequently accused of deliberately twisting subject matter to my point of view. Above all, I know that life for a photographer cannot be a matter of indifference. Opinion often consists of a kind of criticism. But criticism can come out of love.
Our schools and colleges are turning out people who cannot feel fulfilled unless they are telling other people what to do.
If I am given a formula, and I am ignorant of its meaning, it cannot teach me anything, but if I already know it what does the formula teach me?
I cannot switch my voice. My voice is not like an elevator going up and down.
