I always had this childhood image in the back of my mind of this fantastic place where all the things I liked came from; Orson Welles, jazz, all that stuff. Los Angeles is one of those places where somebodies become nobodies and nobodies become somebody.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

God is looking for nobodies who will become somebodies in his hands.

Jack Wyrtzen

Remember that nobodies are the new somebodies.

Guy Kawasaki

If there were no nobodies, The somebodies would not have anybody, To convince that they were somebody, Except some other somebody, Who would not be convinced anyway.

Lawrence Fagg

Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.

Rajneesh

MTV rarely hires established talent. They groom nobodies that they believe in into somebodies.

Andrew Schulz

Gerry Harvey

The education explosion is producing a vast number of people who want to live significant, important lives but lack the ability to satisfy this craving for importance by individual achievement. The country is being swamped with nobodies who want to be somebodies.

Eric Hoffer

People who hold important positions in society are commonly labelled "somebodies," and their inverse "nobodies"-both of which are, of course, nonsensical descriptors, for we are all, by necessity, individuals with distinct identities and comparable claims on existence. Such words are nevertheless an apt vehicle for conveying the disparate treatment accorded to different groups. Those without status are all but invisible: they are treated brusquely by others, their complexities trampled upon and their singularities ignored.

Alain de Botton

Missionaries are very human folks, simply a bunch of nobodies trying to exalt somebody.

Jim Elliot

Missionaries are very human folks, just doing what they are asked. Simply a bunch of nobodies trying to exalt Somebody.

Jim Elliot

I don't live in Los Angeles. I work in Los Angeles, and even that - I audition in Los Angeles; I very rarely film in Los Angeles. I don't hang out with producers on my off-hours, so I don't even know what that world is like.

Brie Larson

If a star or studio chief or any other great movie personages find themselves sitting among a lot of nobodies, they get frightened - as if somebody was trying to demote them.

Marilyn Monroe

Fans don't boo nobodies.

Reggie Jackson
