The eventual place the American army should take on the western front was to a large extent influenced by the vital question of communication and supply.

I shall suggest on the contrary that all communication relies to a noticeable extent on evoking knowledge that we cannot tell and that all our knowledge of mental processes like feelings or conscious intellectual activities is based on a knowledge which we cannot tell.

To some extent Seattle remains a frontier metropolis a place where people can experiment with their lives and change and grow and make things happen.

I don't think that a leader can control to any great extent his destiny. Very seldom can he step in and change the situation if the forces of history are running in another direction.

Government's role should be only to keep the playing field level and to work hand in hand with business on issues such as employment. But beyond this to as great an extent as possible it should get the hell out of the way.

Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look.

The question of whether or to what extent human activities are causing global warming is not a matter of ideology let alone of belief. The issue is simply one of risk management.

The English Bible - a book which if everything else in our language should perish would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power.

I'm not a rock star. Sure I am to a certain extent because of the situation but when kids ask me how it feels to be a rock star I say leave me alone I'm not a rock star. I'm not in it for the fame I'm in it because I like to play.

I love my government not least for the extent to which it leaves me alone.

Age does not protect you from love. But love to some extent protects you from age.
