It was only when I moved to New York that I realized tall is good.
There is only one home to the life of a river-mussel; there is only one home to the life of a tortoise; there is only one shell to the soul of man: there is only one world to the spirit of our race. If that world leaves its course and smashes on boulders of the great void, whose world will give us shelter?
If there was to be a new Europe, there not only had to be a common market, but also great mobility in labor.
I used to overpack a lot and sometimes even forgot vital pieces of clothing, such as my swimming shorts and sandals. I'm much better now. I only take what I know I'm going to wear or use and always double-check my suitcase so I don't have to rush to the nearest clothing store when I unpack at the hotel.
The financial crisis should not become an excuse to raise taxes, which would only undermine the economic growth required to regain our strength.
The Twist was a guided missile launched from the ghetto into the heart of suburbia. The Twist succeeded, as politics, religion and law could never do, in writing in the heart and soul what the Supreme Court could only write on the books.
We should all do what, in the long run, gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapes or sorting the laundry.
I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my works.
We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving.
Hosting the Oscars is much like making love to a woman. It's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of town.
We can only imagine the history of the free world today if, at the end of the Civil War, there had been two countries: the United States and the Confederate States of America.
We love because it's the only true adventure.
Stephen Hawking's been watching too many Hollywood movies. I think the only kind aliens in Hollywood are the ones created by Steven Spielberg - 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'E.T.,' for example. All other aliens are trying to suck our brains out.
I have always believed that chemistry can't be created between two people. You either have it or you don't. The script can only enhance it.
The only way to eliminate the deficit in the long run is through growth.
The only time I would like to see was the 20s and 30s in America because I love the music and the style and the optimism, I wanted to see New York being built. I wanted to see all that, you know.
I am very averse to bringing myself forward in print, but as my account will only appear as an appendage to a former production, and as it will be confined to such topics as have connection with my authorship alone, I can hardly accuse myself of a personal intrusion.
I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away.
Our family, from day one, has only sought the simple truth in this matter.
The dream is to have it all. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? Live this life, that life, this life, you know? You only live one time - I want to get it all in.
When you're rich and famous you are the dominant force in a relationship, even if you try hard not to be. I've talked of sacrificing everything for Fleetwood Mac, but I realize now that it is simply the only thing I've ever wanted to do.
There is no overacting, only untrue acting.
My boyfriend and I have finally learned how to embrace confrontation as something that will only help us as a couple.
Love has its own time, its own season, and its own reasons from coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you.
If one wants another only for some self-satisfaction, usually in the form of sensual pleasure, that wrong desire takes the form of lust rather than love.
One thing the futurists never get right, though, is that the extreme desire for polyester only lasted a brief period in the '70s!
I believe if you act with people who are better than you, it's only going to make you better.
It has to be able to play at the maximum expression and communication in every style, and the only way you can do that is - like Verdi said - working with a file, every day, little by little, until the orchestra's collective qualities emerge.
Everyone across America is tightening their belts. The only place it hasn't happened is D.C.
Wealth, in terms of dollars and so forth, could be counted up, because dollars were finite. It doesn't make any difference how many dollars you have-at a certain point you only have dollars. You start with finite, you end with finite.
I think it's the responsibility of a major opera house not only to cultivate debate and get people thinking, but also to be interfaced with things that challenge them. To challenge its audience and not just deliver things that they know, even though some of those things are wonderful.
Young actors are serious about their work and don't take any time out from it. I'm very serious about my work; there are probably only two films I've done where I had a really good time.
There is only one real sin and that is to persuade oneself that the second best is anything but second best.
Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!
I was gaining weight very rapidly and read about the idea of restricting carbohydrates as an alternative to going hungry. I had a big appetite, so that was the only thing I would even consider.
I very much dislike writing about myself or my work, and when pressed for autobiographical material can only give a bare chronological outline which contains no pertinent facts.
