Breaking records is not something you expect to be doing. That's like a sports thing it's not usually a comedy and writing thing.

The fewer rules a coach has the fewer rules there are for players to break.

I love the wry motto of the Paleontological Society meant both literally and figuratively for hammers are the main tool of our trade: Frango ut patefaciam - I break in order to reveal.

My brand is a demography-breaker. It speaks to all homemakers and women from all walks of life and all across society.

The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colours breaking through.

In our society the women who break down barriers are those who ignore limits.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

While you're improvising you may come up with something which will break him up. As soon as that smile comes out you know that hey we're having fun.

I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it... The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on.

Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible it is terribly exciting.

Except in very narrow cases where there's breakthrough science that needs patent production worrying about competitors is a waste of time. If you can't out iterate someone who is trying to copy you you're toast anyway.

While that amendment failed human cloning continues to advance and the breakthrough in this unethical and morally questionable science is around the corner.

Inanimate objects can be classified scientifically into three major categories those that don't work those that break down and those that get lost.

I'm sad and blue about nobody but you. I told you that I loved you right from the start you told me the same and now you try to break my little heart.

It's sad when people break up.

Falling in love is awesome but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love it's like 'OK now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.'

I had sadness for breakfast.

It seemed romantic but also tragic - people would be winning but then lose it all or crash but fight on break bones but get back on their bikes and try to finish. Just getting to the end was seen as an achievement in itself.

I'm always trying to reach a transcendent point a romantic point but reach it in a really unconventional way a really profane way. To get to that romantic touching heartbreaking place but through a lot of acts of profanity.

In high school we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.

We tried to approach this as though there's never been a Superman movie before but at the same time respecting the canon and mythology. There are the pillars that you have to respect and I'm not about to break them. But it is fun for me to bend them and mess with them.

Sometimes you have to take a break from being a crazy kid. You can't be doing that all the time. Sometimes you just have to pay respect to your own simple-ness.

I submit that an individual who breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.

One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.
