I’m the type of person that if I feel strongly about something and if I really want to do something, I’m just gonna do it. And if it works out, amazing, and it’s like ‘I told you so,’ but if it doesn’t work out, that’s fine.

The government of the German Democratic Republic rejects secret policies. It works for the people, and only the people, so it does not need to keep secrets like the warmongers.

Walter Ulbricht
Life never works out the way you think it will. But you just have to deal with it.

Kyle Shewfelt
Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried, or childless men.

All British people have plain names, and that works pretty well over there.

When narratives fracture, when words fail, I take consolation from the part of my life that always works: the stationery order. The mail-order stationery people supply every need from royal blue Quink to a dazzling variety of portable hard drives.

I’ve had a little plastic surgery. I’ve had a little lipo. I’ve had a little Botox. And you know what? None of it works. None of it.

I finally did work out a very good relationship with my father, but it was rough growing up. We had a lot of conflict, and I think it surfaced in many of my works.

Ira Levin
From a child I was fond of reading, and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books. Pleased with the ‘Pilgrim’s Progress,’ my first collection was of John Bunyan’s works in separate little volumes.

I’m afraid for all those who’ll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!

Henrik Ibsen
The reason why the Wright brothers were successful wasn’t because they had the most resources, but because they understood how invention works. You have to iterate quickly, and you should be prepared to fail. Because things often don’t go as planned.

It seems to me that whatever path you choose to take, in the end its up to each of us to try, test and live what we find out, to apply it and see what actually works, and that’s the exciting and challenging part of this very real adventure.

Self-reflection is so healthy. Journaling works for me – when I record the details of what I’m going through, whether it’s a relationship issue or negative thoughts, I can look back and see how far I’ve come. It makes me proud to see my progress and how I got through a bad situation.

My approach to the story… is if you can get into a criminal’s mind and understand how it works and understand how crime is committed, you can help prevent it from happening to someone else.

The works I made at the start of my career rely on the themes of war, atomic power, and outer space.

Monogamy is like a 40-watt bulb. It works, but it’s not enough.

Nobody works harder than me.

To grow you must understand and admit your mistakes, it is an approach that works for me, it is not necessarily the same for everyone.

Looking good is a commitment to yourself and to others. Wigs, killer heels, Pilates, even fillers – whatever works for you, honey.

VR as a display technology, as it’s miniaturized and made comfortable and mainstream, will be a replacement for all other forms of display technology, input and output. So for anybody who works with computers all day, this is going to be our future.

A regular old drag queen is usually your science teacher who’s actually wearing women‘s panties underneath his slacks. A drag-queen superstar is someone who actually works in clubs and makes a living doing it more than one night a year, or even one night in six months.

The basic idea that incentives can be used to motivate behavior is a powerful one. It works for employees, and it has a clear place in parenting, as anyone who has tried to potty-train a recalcitrant toddler with sticker rewards knows.

In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author; vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum.

My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles.

Our economy works at its best when we have a diverse workforce that is prepared and supported in the career they choose.

It’s easy to get sidetracked with technology, and that is the danger, but ultimately you have to see what works with the music and what doesn’t. In a lot of cases, less is more. In most cases, less is more.

It’s the way the business works, you’re not just an actor, you’re a diplomat and a publicist and a politician, and there are certain expectations.

In, like, seventh or eighth grade every day after school, my friend Andrew and I would watchWayne‘s World.’ And I think it’s a great example of a sketch effectively turned into a movie and a story that really works with a good journey. Not easily accomplished, but such a good journey.

I suppose the Church would be perfect only if it were run by perfect beings. God is perfect, and His doctrine is pure. But He works through us – His imperfect children – and imperfect people make mistakes.

The worst way of flying, I think, is standby. It never works. That’s why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, ‘Bye!’

The capacity of the female mind for studies of the highest order cannot be doubted, having been sufficiently illustrated by its works of genius, of erudition, and of science.

I think a lot of what you do in acting, and for the most part singing and dancing and everything, is trial and error. It’s all about just seeing what works, and if it does, to use it, and if not, to throw it away.

When a marriage works, nothing on earth can take its place.

Helen Gahagan
We want a free market, but we know that the paradox of a ‘free’ market is that sometimes you have to intervene. You have to make sure it’s not the law of the jungle but the laws of democracy that works.

I cannot state enough how important post-production is for the success of a horror movie. You bring so much to it with the way you edit it, the way it is sound-designed, and the way the music works with it.

Don’t get me wrong: I love a massive show with dancers and the works, and I love Zumba! But I just want there to be more people who just sing.

To experiment different kinds of roles always works well.

People are so helpful. People will stop what they’re doing to show you something, to walk with you through a section of the town, or explain how a suspension bridge really works.

My theory is to let everyone in on what works and let the best man win.

Turmoil is everywhere, and the whole world is waiting for solutions to come from the top down. That’s not how it works – community change from the bottom up makes a real difference.

Betty Williams
Prayer is the medium of miracles; in whatever way works for you, pray right now.

People think Selena and The Weeknd are dating for publicity, and that’s not how things works. These are real human beings. They don’t just date to get more famous. They’re already the most famous artists!

In the history of literature there are many great enduring works which were not published in the lifetimes of the authors. If the authors had not achieved self-affirmation while writing, how could they have continued to write?

Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.

Antoni Gaudi
We need to kind of refresh our fear in order to refresh our understanding of how a safe place works.

Andrew Pyper
We’ve all been influenced by American naturalism, and to ignore that entirely would be impossible for me as someone who works primarily in film.

To write the lives of the great in separating them from their works necessarily ends by above all stressing their pettiness, because it is in their work that they have put the best of themselves.

A sequence works in a way a collection never can.

George Murray
Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.

Nobody wants to stay in Green Bay and run laps in the snow and go boxing in the gym. Everybody has what works for them, and I feel as though this works for me – it keeps me hungry, it keeps me with that edge. Other guys get a hard day’s work in, but they’re on the beach afterward.

All sensitive people agree that there is a peculiar emotion provoked by works of art.

Clive Bell
Why don’t they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as well as prohibition did, in five years Americans would be the smartest race of people on Earth.

Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works.

You want there to be some magical answer that will just make everything clear and easy to understand, and that’s just not the way love works.

I am a person who works to deadlines.

Honestly, I don’t listen to nobody else‘s music but my own. It’s kind of like sports to me. You don’t see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game – he just works on his own game. And that’s what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things.

Whether you’re an actress or someone who works in a bank, fitness should be one of your priorities.

It was 1975. I had spent the year at the Boston Museum School doing some very bizarre performance works. The last one included going to the North Magnetic Pole and spending all of my money.

That saying, about how you always kill the thing you love, well, it works both ways.

Science is magic that works.

Activism, to me, I don’t know if it really works. It may work for somebody else, but it does not work for me.

Advertising generally works to reinforce consumer trends rather than to initiate them.

Michael Schudson
If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works.

John Dos Passos
I place no hope in my strength, nor in my works: but all my confidence is in God my protector, who never abandons those who have put all their hope and thought in him.

I’ve tried to incorporate new ways of playing the game. That’s why you hear people call me a ‘hybrid goalie’ and say I adjust to the situation, never doing the same thing over and over like a butterfly goalie. I try to see what works and hopefully with my talent I’m able to play it and make it happen.

I always see the absurdity in most situations. It’s my experience of how life works.

I went through the extremes of amazing notoriety and also the dreaded things that you never thought you’d have to live through. Not everything works the way you want it to, but if I sit back and think, ‘Am I happy about this?’ Yeah. I wouldn’t have done anything any better.

As I approached my 95th birthday, I was burdened to write a book that addressed the epidemic of ‘easy believism.’ There is a mindset today that if people believe in God and do good works, they are going to Heaven.

Of course, every artist has ‘minor works’ that they do, but I don’t think I have any ‘minor disciplines.’ Each discipline I approach as a major undertaking that I put my whole self into.

Majority rule only works if you’re also considering individual rights. Because you can’t have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.

Larry Flynt
Why are empirical questions about how the mind works so weighted down with political and moral and emotional baggage?

Art is always an exaggeration in some sense; in color, in form, even in theme, etc… but it has always been this way. It is the same with the nature of some works by Giotto or Massacio, or the color of life as expressed by Van Gogh.

I consider myself an ordinary Muslim who is constantly working to put himself in the framework established by the Koran and the tradition of the Prophet Mohammed. I study the works of experts of jurisprudence, Koranic commentary, hadith commentary, and Sufism.

People should try to know God and imitate him in their works. Repetitions and ceremonials are of no use.

In a state of grace, the soul is like a well of limpid water, from which flow only streams of clearest crystal. Its works are pleasing both to God and man, rising from the River of Life, beside which it is rooted like a tree.

I don’t think most of Congress understands how economics works.

Cricket needs brightening up a bit. My solution is to let the players drink at the beginning of the game, not after. It always works in our picnic matches.

Paul Hogan
I like looking at the characters. Seeing them always brings up some voice or attitude. I am much more visual, and that works so much better than having someone tell me what the character is all about.

Frank Welker
Intervention only works when the people concerned seem to be keen for peace.

How inscrutable and incomprehensible are the hidden works of Nature!

Cartooning at its best is a fine art. I’m a cartoonist who works in the medium of animation, which also allows me to paint my cartoons.

I do not want my new works to be generated in a market or audience of any kind.

I think how football works, the way you have to look at football, that is the difference between Leicester and Newcastle. There is big motivation here to keep growing and to get better here at Leicester. I didn’t feel they had it at Newcastle.

Ayoze Perez
The Gita is the greatest gospel of spiritual works ever yet given to the race.

Sri Aurobindo
People often say Beckett is difficult or bleak, but engaging with it is the most life-affirming, uplifting thing. It’s his use of language. The music of the words works on your subconscious. You end up deeply moved but don’t know why. That’s where the magic lies.

People think that what I see diving must drive what I put into films, but that isn’t really the case. When I am making a Hollywood production, I am telling a different kind of story. Of course, if I see something interesting that works, we will look at it, but they are different things.

Art is not an investment. Art is something you buy because you are financially solvent enough to give yourself a pleasure of living with great works rather than having to just see them in museums. People who are buying art at the top of the market as an investment are foolish.

Look at me as a man who performed works musically. Who uplift people who need upliftment, mentally, physically, economically – all forms. Who told the people to live with love ’cause only love can conquer war, and to understand themselves so that they can understand others.

Gregory Isaacs
Capitalism works.

Chris Columbus was really interesting to watch how he works with children.

Democratic socialism means that we must reform a political system that is corrupt, that we must create an economy that works for all, not just the very wealthy.

At the end of the day, you can have all the talent in the world. But if you don’t put in the work, nothing works. The engine doesn’t start going. It’s a car without gas.

You need to make mistakes in rehearsal because that’s how you find out what works and what doesn’t.

Clarke Peters
Acting is not that far from mental disease: An actor works on splitting his character into others. It is like a kind of schizophrenia.

Vittorio Gassman
I like this other world, this forgetting of myself. The actor works in order to escape, not to find himself. You become an actor by leaving yourself, and then you have to keep acting. How tragic!

Sylvia Kristel
When people go through something rough in life, they say, ‘I’m taking it one day at a time.’ Yes, so is everybody. Because that’s how time works.

Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.

Housing Works is the coolest thrift store in the world, because not only are they the best thrift store – they’re not the most thrifty thrift store – but they have amazing stuff and all of their proceeds go directly to kids, mostly homeless kids, living with AIDS and HIV in New York, in the metropolitan area.

Laziness works. And the simple way to incorporate its health benefits into your life is simply to take a nap.

The dead play a very prominent part in the experience of the wanderer abroad. The houses in which they were born, the tombs in which they lie, the localities they made famous by their good or evil deeds, and the works their genius left behind them are necessarily the chief shrines of his pilgrimage.

There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It’s a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you ‘play’ with them!

Christian salvation consists in works. To be saved is to be made holy. To be saved requires our being made part of a people separated from the world so that we can be united in spite of – or perhaps better, because of – the world’s fragmentation and divisions.

I do what I do merrily out of curiosity because I want to know how the brain works. That will get me up early in the morning and keep me going all day long.

John O’Keefe
Let’s talk about policing and public safety. Let’s debate what works and what does not. We must abandon practices that do not work, and do more of the things that actually do work to save lives.

Unix has, I think for many years, had a reputation as being difficult to learn and incomplete. Difficult to learn means that the set of shared conventions, and things that are assumed about the way it works, and the basic mechanisms, are just different from what they are in other systems.

Brian Kernighan
Thomas Jefferson once said, ‘We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.’ And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying.

Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don’t really know how the music business works.

The demand that I make of my reader is that he should devote his whole Life to reading my works.

The writing partnership is a good collaboration for the same reason the marriage works, which is two people who can stand alone choosing to stand together.

Ann Maxwell
For years, kids have been asking me what’s the greatest superpower. I always say luck. If you’re lucky, everything works. I’ve been lucky.

Any virtual community that works, works because people put in some time.

I have a lot of respect for PM Narendra Modi, as he works hard day and night and doesn’t sleep more than 4 hours. So I am thinking of gifting him chewing gum, as he will chew that and will take rest and take care of his health.

When it comes to filmmaking, we have to deal with ego, anger, and a lot more; barring all these, how the team works towards the outcome matters.

I enjoyed working with Vikram Kumar, as he is an amazing director who is full of ideas, and he tells me that he has different compartments in his brain in which he places different story ideas and works on them simultaneously.

I’ve worked very hard to become comfortable with how death works and why it happens. I now know that death isn’t out to get me.

There’s different kinds of laughs. It’s like a baseball lineup: this guy’s your power hitter, this guy gets on base, this guy works out walks. If everybody does their job, we’re gonna win.

The prosecution has to go with the evidence and the facts and tell the story as it happened. The defense has more creative freedom. All you have to do is look for a defense that works. But it doesn’t have to be the truth. Sometimes you get lucky and it is, but sometimes you don’t, and either way, it doesn’t matter.

If I’m stuck in the midst of a story, I take a nap. It often works, and if it doesn’t, I still feel better.

Max Apple
One who works for his own profit is likely to work hard. One who works for the use of others, without profit to himself, is likely not to work any harder than he must.

B Carroll Reece
We all sing about the things we’re thinking; musicals are about expressing those emotions that you can’t talk about. It works a real treat.

Anthony Head
A complete woman is probably not a very admirable creature. She is manipulative, uses other people to get her own way, and works within whatever system she is in.

My parents have a ridiculous work ethic; my dad just works, works, works, works, works. I think it would be hard to find a guy who’s logged more hours than that guy.

Everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out.

Others may recognise their world in ‘Eat Sleep Work Repeat‘. This podcast is the side project of Bruce Daisley, who works at Twitter. It consists of him talking to experts about what makes us happy at work and why.

The ‘Tron’ fans have a real passion. They know their stuff and what works and why it works. It is more than a movie: it is a philosophy.

Cindy Morgan
You know, there are artists who are 35 and up that still make rap and that still works for them. I don’t know if I want to be that guy.

Sometimes I’ll come up with a lick that I really love, and I’ll try to put the right words to it for years. Suddenly something comes to me that works just right.

Alex Chilton
It is not architectural achievement that makes the structures of earlier times seem to us so full of significance but the circumstance that antique temples, Roman basilicas, and even the cathedrals of the Middle Ages are not the works of single personalities but creations of entire epochs.

I am putting every effort toward creating my works from morning till night on every single day.

I’m not angry, I’m not an angry person, but I do sometimes like playing with the perception of anger, as in pretending that I’m more angry than I actually am, and sometimes it works quite well.

Skunk works differed from advanced research groups in that they were more than just product development groups. They had direct interaction with customers and controlled a sales channel which allowed them to negotiate their own deals with customers.

I know that when I get stressed, I want to eat junk food. So now I just know – ‘I’m stressed, I want to eat junk food, so I’m going to go work out instead, or eat something healthy.’ It really works.

Cara Castronuova
Art does not, like science, set forth a permanent order of nature, the enduring skeleton of law. Two factors primarily determine its works: one is the idea in the mind of the artist, the other is his power of expression; and both these factors are extremely variable.

Everyone tries to talk you out of going to college. The consensus being that people are just gonna forget about you, you know, and that’s the way the business works.

Larisa Oleynik
GAVI works collaboratively with the private sector – from investment banks to vaccine suppliers to corporations to members of the Forbes 400 – to find new and better ways to raise and apply resources and broaden the base of participants in global health.

My idea of artistry has always been ‘try everything until you find out what works.’

I figured out, I guess, that the job just makes me happy if it’s not number one. So if it all works, great. If it doesn’t, I still go home, look at my kids, and I have a big smile on my face.

Thomas Kretschmann
Rose is a very versatile athlete, she works her striking well.

The conventional way of selling products out of the catalogue no longer works; the relationship needs to become more sticky.

The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.

Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.

There is a part of me that will forever want to be walking under autumn leaves, carrying a briefcase containing the works of Shakespeare and Yeats and a portable chess set. I will pass an old tree under which once on a summer night I lay on the grass with a fragrant young woman and we quoted e.e. cummings back and forth.

The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.

I have been told by hospital authorities that more copies of my works are left behind by departing patients than those of any other author.

You just have to go as far as you can go. Everyone works his way up.

A heart that hurts is a heart that works.

Granny beads are what they’re called when a grandma works the garden all day – you always see them – they have a handkerchief around their neck with a lot of dust on them, and then the sweat will go down and make these black beads of sweat and dirt around their neck. And that’s what they call granny beads.

For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination.

Maxwell Maltz
Delegating work works, provided the one delegating works, too.

Robert Half
Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there’s this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I’m in the middle ground – I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.

The creator of the universe works in mysterious ways. But he uses a base ten counting system and likes round numbers.

A museum has to renew its collection to be alive, but that does not mean we give on important old works.

A small country like Israel has compulsory military training. But countries like India, that are so much bigger, have no compulsory military training, so people don’t understand how the military functions. They have no knowledge of how it works, no respect for it.

I love my wife. We FaceTime and we talk on the phone and she travels to come see me when she can. But she works as well. But we see each other a lot more than people would think, though, because we make it happen and we love each other so much.

I think there are ways in which we censor ourselves; that’s the most dangerous kind of censorship – that’s how hegemony works.

Passive righteousness tells us that God does not need our good works. Active righteousness tells us that our neighbor does. The aim and direction of good works are horizontal, not vertical.

If I can, I will make an album each year, but time shall tell if this works out. I have other things to do in my life as well.

I am hunting for people who would be a good colleague or a teammate, not someone who works for me.

When something exceeds your ability to understand how it works, it sort of becomes magical.

The fact is I’m an opportunist. I’ll take materials around me, materials on my table, and work with them as I’m searching for an idea that works.

Reforming the way the state works with businesses and providing incentives for employers will help preserve and create new jobs in Massachusetts.

If cattle and horses, or lions, had hands, or were able to draw with their feet and produce the works which men do, horses would draw the forms of gods like horses, and cattle like cattle, and they would make the gods’ bodies the same shape as their own.

Xenophanes
Our goal is to teach young women who were brought up on H&M and Forever 21 that designer clothes are expensive for a reason. They’re works of art.

While producing art works, illusions appear from time to time due to my mental illness. Every day is a struggle for me.

Philosophy means nothing unless it is connected to birth, death, and the continuance of life. Anytime you are going to build a society that works, you have to begin from nature and the body.

Susan Griffin
Do I believe, for example, that by using magic I could fly? No. How would you get around gravity? Impossible. Do I believe that I might be able to project my consciousness into a very, very vivid simulation of flying? Yeah. Yes, I’ve done that. Yes, that works.

I think of it as a good opportunity to let, in particular, school kids know that this job and other interesting jobs in science and engineering are open to anyone who works hard in school and gets a good education and studies math and science. And that it’s not just for a select group of people.

My mother was a Bloomsbury figure: a great friend of TS Eliot, Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell. My grandmother, Mary Hutchinson, gave her life to works of art, being an admirer of Matisse and Giaometti, whom I collected as a young man because of her.

Jacob Rothschild
NASA works very well with different election organizations because we’re all voting from different counties.

The man who builds a factory builds a temple, that the man who works there worships there, and to each is due, not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise.

What people don’t know about oppression is that the oppressor works much harder. You always grew up being told you were not smart enough or not fast enough, but we all lived from the time we were children to beat the system.

I love sneakers on a girl. I don’t know why, but I guess it’s because I’m still a young. I really like just like a girl who has style – a girl who does her own thing, is unique in what she’s wearing and works what she’s got.

I’m quite interested in my own mental processes, simply because I’m a failed scientist, and because I’m interested in how the brain and the mind works, and I like to avoid easy descriptions.

What’s different about the Gospel of Thomas is that, instead of focusing entirely on who Jesus is and the wonderful works of Jesus, it focuses on how you and I can find the kingdom of God, or life in the presence of God.

When a prevention campaign works, nothings happens!

Norman Swan
I always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesn’t feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. It’s a colorful, beautiful, comfortable, fun place to live and the energy is wonderful.

It is impossible to divide the interest of a country and a company that works on its soil.

Vagit Alekperov
We see fighters fight their whole career and never get a title shot. It doesn’t matter if they rack up 10 wins if people think they’re boring. We all know how it works.

There is a difference between executive producing and producing. Producing, you have no life for two years. You take everything personally, you want to kill everyone, you’re depressed and angry, and then in the end you feel excited when it actually works. But executive producing, you can go home at the end of the day.

Love works a different way in different minds, the fool it enlightens and the wise it blinds.

My title is intended to suggest that the community of scientists is organized in a way which resembles certain features of a body politic and works according to economic principles similar to those by which the production of material goods is regulated.

Michael Polanyi
Nowadays even presidents, vice-presidents, and heads of big agencies are opening their minds to accept psychic phenomena, because they know it works.

Uri Geller
The whole character of Super Dave is a takeoff on people who pontificate. So one thing I never want to do is pontificate why this works, why this is funny. I have no idea what the appeal is. All we are trying to do is make people have a good time and laugh.

Bob Einstein
We want a story that starts out with an earthquake and works its way up to a climax.

People come from all over the world to be on the show, and it still works because of all the interesting items coming in.

Jesus didn’t hold people accountable; He just held them close – because it works better.

Bob Goff
I follow a simple formula when I compose. I ask myself, ‘What would the audience want to hear?’ and ‘Why would they buy my CDs?’ And the process of answering these questions through music follows. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it backfires.

An amateur is someone who supports himself with outside jobs which enable him to paint. A professional is someone whose wife works to enable him to paint.

We know what works. Freedom Works. We know what’s right. Freedom is right.

My mom’s an art teacher, so I always had music in the house. She always had records, and I was mesmerized by the mechanics of how a turntable works.

Everyone has friends that are limited to one platform and ecosystem, whereas what we’ve built with ‘Fortnite‘ is a friends system that works across seven platforms. You can have friends across Xbox and PlayStation and PC.

That’s why ‘Gangnam Style’ works. If someone handsome uses that phrase it’s just awkward. But if someone like me uses it, it’s funny.

But the shortest works are always the best.

In 1989, I was awarded the Von Neumann Prize in Operations Research Theory by the Operations Research Society of America and The Institute of Management Sciences. They cited my works in the areas of portfolio theory, sparse matrix techniques and the SIMSCRIPT programming language.

Harry Markowitz
One of the reasons I’m proud of the show and think it works is that as much as Ted is nice and he’s kind and he’s passionate, his troubles are real. He doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The world of ‘Ted Lasso’ isn’t a fairy tale.

Nobody who works 40 hours a week should have to live in poverty.

My father was a scientist and his colleagues were into pathology and microbiology, and study of viruses and how it spreads and mutates, so I understand the beauty with which nature works and more beautifully how our immune systems work.

Writing checks for charities is necessary and important. But it can’t compare with corporal works of mercy, which are infinitely greater.

Most of my recorded material has been in small group configurations. I have not released large orchestral works as recordings because it hasn’t been within the realm of possibility.

Bill Dixon
Without the meditative background that is criticism, works become isolated gestures, historical accidents, soon forgotten.

My mother works in a bank, and my dad is the head of my management team and also works in finance.

Your kids might feel more apt to try some art of their own after viewing contemporary works that are far less intimidating than those of the Old Masters.

In 1975 I met Alison Brown and in 1982 we were married. She works for Cornell Computer Services.

Kenneth G Wilson
A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, ‘Huh. It works. It makes sense.’
