People ask me often [whether] the Nobel Prize [was] the thing you were aiming for all your life, and I say that would be crazy. Nobody would aim for a Nobel Prize because, if you didn't get it, your whole life would be wasted. What we were aiming at was getting people well, and the satisfaction of that is much greater than any prize you can get. (Gertrude B. Elion)
Be nice to people, because nobody likes an asshole. View quote
Darren Criss

Billie Jean King
Because nobody wanted to play bass, I was instantly in a band. View quote
Les Claypool
It is interesting to be here and to see that for certain actors they have to live in a way that you think of nobody living anymore except for in small towns. They have such elaborate double lives. View quote
Bill Condon
Postwar America was a very buttoned-up nation. Radio shows were run by censors, Presidents wore hats, ladies wore girdles. We came straight out of the blue - nobody was expecting anything like Martin and Lewis. A sexy guy and a monkey is how some people saw us. View quote
Jerry Lewis
Their argument, and I think it's a correct one, is that they'll make more money from the trades and the hardcovers if nobody messes with the creative team. View quote
Mark Millar
Jesus, man. Why do people want to be Paris Hilton and nobody wants to be Spider-Man? View quote
Mark Millar

Holland Roden
I conclude that nobody can be trusted with unlimited power. The more power a regime has, the more likely people will be killed. This is a major reason for promoting freedom. View quote
Rudolph Rummel
If I was influenced by anything, it was architecture: structure having to do with logic. If you don't do it right, the whole thing is going to cave in. In a certain sense, you can carry that to graphic design. Fortunately, however, nobody is going to die if you do it wrong. (Paul Rand)
Nobody wants you to stop, obviously because you're a moneymaking machine. But you have to make the decision and you have to move forward. So I took time off to have babies and do all that. View quote
Donna Summer
It strikes me that mathematical writing is similar to using a language. To be understood you have to follow some grammatical rules. However, in our case, nobody has taken the trouble of writing down the grammar; we get it as a baby does from parents, by imitation of others. Some mathematicians have a good ear; some not (and some prefer the slangy expressions such as 'iff'). That's life. View quote
Jean-Pierre Serre
Nobody is obliged to be genious but everybody is obliged to participate. View quote
Philippe Starck
If you don't have an E-mail address, you're in the Netherworld. If you don't have your own World Wide Web page, you're a nobody. View quote
Clifford Stoll
As a young man, every bone in my body wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill Germans. And yet I had absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly nobody invited me to do the job. But that's what I felt that I was trained to do. Now no part of my upbringing was militaristic. View quote
Pete Townshend
Oh, nobody would ever want to know me in Hollywood. I'm far too puffin-faced for that, too weird-looking. No, I think I'll probably stick to telly, if telly'll have me, though I wouldn't mind doing radio plays as well. View quote
Tamsin Greig
Nobody sets out to make a bad record. View quote
Alex Van Halen
There were a lot of people dreaming about making films, and they would finance maybe 6 films a year. Because they were funded by the government, the films sort-of had to deal with serious social issues - and, as a result, nobody went to see those films. View quote
Renny Harlin
We always thought it strange that nobody was up on that stage playing soul stuff. Maybe people were playing it in their garages, like us, but they always reverted to pure rock when they got on stage. View quote
Michael Hutchence
It's as simple as something that nobody knows. (Jack Johnson)
The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking. View quote
Mia Hamm
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. View quote
Graham Chapman
If I were to tell you that your life is already perfect, whole, and complete just as it is, you would think I was crazy. Nobody believes his or her life is perfect. And yet there is something within each of us that basically knows we are boundless, limitless. View quote
Charlotte Joko Beck
My mother would write letters when I was away at camp and say, 'There's an Ann-shaped space around the house. Nobody fills an Ann-shaped space except an Ann.' I'm convinced we all have a God-shaped space in us, and until we fill that space with God, we'll never know what it is to be whole. View quote
