At every crossroad, be prepared to bump into wonder.

James Broughton

Your mind can't always tell the difference between pretend and reality if you pretend too long; or if you go too deep and really believe in what you're doing. If you're going to be that kind of actor and go way out there, it's really important to take care of yourself and have a safe place, whatever that is.

Annabella Sciorra

Although pretend play is important, it is still the means to an end, not the end itself. Do not make the mistake of thinking a contrived, pretend drama can substitute for real interpersonal comfort in dealing with important emotional issues.

Stanley Greenspan

At every crossroad on the way that leads to the future, each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand men appointed to guard the past.

Maurice Maeterlinck

Without McFly, who are we? Trying to find out and pretend you're happy with that new version of you was really difficult.

Tom Fletcher

Bakhchisaray was formerly the capital of the Crimean khanate and once an important crossroad of the Silk Road, where traders met from across the Black Sea, the steppes of Central Asia, Russia, and eastern Europe.

Tim Cope

At every crossroad, follow your dream. It is courageous to let your heart lead the way.

Thomas Leland

Every time I hit the ball on the wall I uses to pretend I was there (Wimbledon). When I went to sleep I used to pretend I was there.

Evonne Goolagong Cawley

The spontaneous tendency to invoke a Final Cause in explanation of every difficulty is characteristic of metaphysical philosophy. It arises from a general tendency towards the impersonation of abstractions which is visible throughout History.

George Henry Lewes

Before every game, I have this 30-second routine where I'll pretend like I'm doing some stupid stretch, but what I am really doing is just closing my eyes and taking in the moment, imagining every arena and every city I've been in, smelling all the smells, seeing all the fans.

Channing Frye

Theatre is really difficult, so it's important that you have a director that kind of understands that and is really hands on.

Jimmi Simpson

And it's a necessity [for journalists] to pretend to be competent on every subject, some of which they really do not understand. They are under that necessity, I regret; I'm sorry for them. But to pretend to understand all the things you write about, and habitually to write about things you do not understand, is a very corrupting thing.

Friedrich August von Hayek

Dating is really hard because everyone puts on a front. It's really difficult to see who is who, so it is important to be yourself.

Brooke Burke

Russia is very important, Iran is very important, Hezbollah is very important. All of them are important. Each one made important achievements against the terrorists in Syria, so it's difficult to say who is more important than the other.

Bashar al-Assad

I'm not dating Balthazar. I'm pretend dating him. Which involves some not pretend hand-holding. And maybe some not pretend kissing. But it's all actually pretend, see? I groaned. My explanations were making my head hurt already.

Claudia Gray

The reality of today, different as it is from the reality of my society one hundred years ago, is and can be important if we have the energy and the inclination to challenge it, to go out and engage with its peculiarities, with the things that we do not understand. The real danger is the tendency to retreat into the obvious, the tendency to be frightened by the richness of the world and to clutch what we always have understood.
