The nature of catastrophe is after all reasonably unvarying in the way it ruins destroys wounds and devastates. But if something can be learned from the event - not least something as profound as the theory of plate tectonics - then it somehow puts the ruination into a much more positive light.

Money has too big an influence on our politics in Washington and somehow we need to do something about that.

Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting but they have something missing in their natures there is a hole an empty place and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen.

Poetry is fascinating. As soon as it begins the poetry has changed the thing into something extra and somehow prose can go over into poetry.

My pet peeve and my goal in life is to somehow get an adjective for 'integrity' in the dictionary. 'Truthful' doesn't really cover it or 'genuine.' It should be like 'integritus.'

I feel like every project I've ever done has had music involved in it somehow.

Entertainment came out of this thing called a television and it was gray. Most of the films that we saw at the cinema were black and white. It was a gray world. And music somehow was in color.

I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.

There are movies that require fantasy and slightly more fantastical acting. Lines that are good for certain movies in real life circumstances would be absolutely unbelievable things to really say and you would look at these people like they're freaks for conversing that way. But somehow for certain styles of movies it works and it seems fine.

I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it.

Some of those more out-there jokes were written in the wee hours of the morning. Somehow they remained funny the next day.

Somehow I've been blessed to be able to have the young spirit inside - not feel like every year I get a year older. I feel like every year I get a year younger. I don't wake up in the morning with aches and pains.

Early in the morning I fell in love with the girl that later on became my wife. At that time we were so naive. I wanted to charm her so I read her Capital by Marx. I thought somehow she would be convinced by the strength of his criticism about capital.

We are used to female writers who use their private lives as unmitigated material being somewhat hormonal this somehow 'excuses' what might be seen as a highly unfeminine ability to turn their personal upsets into money.

Our greatest lack is not money for any undertaking but rather ideas If the ideas are good cash will somehow flow to where it is needed.

When you become a mom you just learn how to function sleep deprived and you do get used to it. I came back to work when Finley was three months old and the first few months were rough. Then somehow you learn to exist on no sleep and now when he does upon occasion sleep through the night which is like a full six hours you're pretty sure he's suffocating. So you don't sleep anyway.

I'd say that if you had a strained relationship with your mom for whatever reason the best thing to do is be open with each other talk it over try and work it out somehow as opposed to just putting a wall up and pushing them away.

I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage but it somehow eludes them.

Another argument vaguer and even less persuasive is that gay marriage somehow does harm to heterosexual marriage. I have yet to meet anyone who can explain to me what this means. In what way would allowing same-sex partners to marry diminish the marriages of heterosexual couples?

All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow being repressed for so many millennia they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society.

I wanted to write about the moment when your addictions no longer hide the truth from you. When your whole life breaks down. That's the moment when you have to somehow choose what your life is going to be about.

I actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of your life to be in one meeting when you're trying to make money and then go to another meeting where you're giving it away. I mean is it gonna erode your ability you know to make money? Are you gonna somehow get confused about what you're trying to do?

My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives then work hard toward that goal we never lose - somehow we win out.

I've figured out my learning curve. I can look at something and somehow know exactly how long it will take for me to learn it.
