I've been told that nobody sings the word "hunger" like I do. Or the word "love." (Billie Holiday)
Nobody sees the same movie. I'm sure there are people who saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and thought "Finally a gay movie about men who really care about each other. Thank God!" That's not what I saw necessarily - but I don't think any two people see the same movie. View quote
Kevin Kline
Perhaps if we saw what was ahead of us, and glimpsed the follies, and misfortunes that would befall us later on, we would all stay in our mother's wombs, and then there would be nobody in the world but a great number of very fat, very irritated women. View quote
Daniel Handler
People get real comfortable with their features. Nobody gets comfortable with their hair. Hair trauma. It's the universal thing. View quote

John Lennon
Well the highway is alive tonight, But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes. I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad. View quote

This was a secret meeting on a secret tour which nobody is supposed to know about. It means that there are men, and perhaps women, in this country walking around with eggs in their pockets, just on the off-chance of seeing the Prime Minister. View quote
Edward Heath
In long experience I find that a man who trusts nobody is apt to be the kind of man nobody trusts. View quote
Harold Macmillan
Supposing Catherine Lim was writing about me and not the prime minister...She would not dare, right? Because my posture, my response has been such that nobody doubts that if you take me on, I will put on knuckle-dusters and catch you in a cul de sac...Anybody who decides to take me on needs to put on knuckle dusters. If you think you can hurt me more than I can hurt you, try. There is no other way you can govern a Chinese society. View quote
Lee Kuan Yew
I have never been over concerned or obsessed with opinion polls or popularity polls. I think a leader who is, is a weak leader. Between being loved and being feared, I have always believed Machiavelli was right. If nobody is afraid of me, I'm meaningless. View quote
Lee Kuan Yew
I had some ambition. I meant everything to be different with me. I thought I had more strength and mastery. But the most terrible obstacles are such as nobody can see except oneself. View quote
George Eliot
Don't talk to me about the world needing cheerful stuff! What the person out of Belsen - physical or psychological - wants is nobody saying the birdies still go tweet-tweet, but the full knowledge that somebody else has been there and knows the worst, just what it is like. View quote
Sylvia Plath

Ozzy Osbourne
A lot of people never use their initiative because nobody told them to. View quote
Banksy
Nobody ever listened to me until they didn't know who I was. (Banksy)
‎Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that's how we've got to live. View quote
Haruki Murakami
Nobody likes to see a body, but it's better than seeing a ghost. Bodies just make you doubt the world and the people in it. Ghosts make you doubt everything, and to doubt it in a part of the mind that has no words to answer the question, where the comforting promises you make yourself are neither believed nor even really understood. View quote
Michael Marshall Smith
The idea that a game is anything more than a game... You know, there are people who are basically unbalanced who are going to misuse a game and have bad results. If a golfer who insists on playing during a lightning storm gets hit by a stroke of lightning and is killed nobody says, 'There's golfers dying by the droves being hit by lightning!' You can overdo what you really like, and if you're unbalanced you go overboard. View quote
Gary Gygax
When I was young, I never bought records because my brother Joseph played saxophone and had a record player. I loved listening to his records: The Dorsey Brothers, Duke Ellington, all the big American jazz bands, and vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Ernestine Anderson, and Kitty White, a singer from the US who was a friend of Nina Simone. Nobody in America seems to know about her, but she was quite popular in South Africa. View quote
