Yeah but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should.

Jeff Goldblum

Preoccupied with a single leaf, you won't see the tree. Preoccupied with a single tree, you'll miss the entire forest.

Takuan Soho

Paintings are like a beer, only beer tastes good and it's hard to stop drinking beer.

Billy Carter

In a study, scientists report that drinking beer can be good for the liver. I'm sorry, did I say 'scientists'? I meant Irish people.

Tina Fey

Our minds should not be empty because if they are not preoccupied by good, evil will break in upon them.

Samuel Johnson

It's hard to sin if you're preoccupied with Jesus.

Derwin L. Gray

I used to live in Los Angeles, but I didn't want my kids to grow up in the thick of the obsession with movie-making. There's a lot of sensationalism and superficiality. I wanted to take my kids out of that and raise 'em up elsewhere, and I wanted to stop being preoccupied with whether my star is on the rise or the descent. I can't imagine having a much greater life, and I don't want to be preoccupied with things that don't matter. But of course, ironically, my two oldest daughters have decided that they're going to be actresses.

Woody Harrelson

Brewers enjoy working to make beer as much as drinking beer instead of working.

Hal Foster

Ponder the significance of the responsibility the Lord has given to us. The Lord has counseled, "Let the solemnities of eternity rest upon your minds." (D&C 43:34.) You cannot do that when your minds are preoccupied with the cares of the world.

Ezra Taft Benson

The beer sold here in the United States is sweet and watery and lacking in taste and overcarbonated and just generally the lamest, wimpiest beer in the entire known world. All the other nations are drinking Ray Charles beer, and we are drinking Barry Manilow.

Dave Barry

Are science and religion converging? No. There are modern scientists whose words sound religious but whose beliefs, on close examination, turn out to be identical to those of other scientists who straightforwardly call themselves atheists.

Richard Dawkins

A lot of people seem to get preoccupied with what I'm wearing as opposed to the music.

Sheryl Crow

There are some people whose opinion I value and respect and it would be very bothersome if I forfeited their respect. But the general public? I'm not preoccupied with the opinions of others.

Conrad Black

All scientists know of colleagues whose minds are so well equipped with the means of refutation that no new idea has the temerity to seek admittance. Their contribution to science is accordingly very small.

Peter Medawar

This part of the 21st century is preoccupied with risk, and there's a lot that law can do to make lives longer and healthier.

Cass Sunstein

Barring serious accidents, if you are not preoccupied with worry and you work hard, you can look forward to a reasonably lengthy existence.... Its not the hard work that kills, its the worrying that kills.

Thomas A. Edison
