The euphoria around economic booms often obscures the possibility for a bust, which explains why leaders typically miss the warning signs.

Andrew Ross Sorkin

My heroes and heroines are often unlikely people who are dragged into situations without meaning to become involved, or people with a past that has never quite left them. They are often isolated, introspective people, often confrontational or anarchic in some way, often damaged or secretly unhappy or incomplete.

Joanne Harris

I often find in doing tragedy, or doing very serious material, that there's a level of anxiety that builds that often leads to laughter in some cases. In between takes, there can often be a lightness.

Michael Stuhlbarg

One thing scientists have discovered is that often-praised children become more intelligent than often-blamed ones. There's a creative element in praise.

Thomas Dreier

Ugly problems often require ugly solutions. Solving an ugly problem in a pure manner is bloody hard.

Rasmus Lerdorf

I have the embarrassing thing where often if you're watching a film, you kind of go through the emotions and the thought stages that your character went through, but you sort of do it with Tourette's. So I end up often crying when I'm crying, and looking angry when I'm looking angry, so it's pretty ugly.

Cate Blanchett

Conservatism, though a necessary element in any stable society, is not a social program; in its paternalistic, nationalistic and power adoring tendencies it is often closer to socialism than true liberalism; and with its traditionalistic, anti-intellectual, and often mystical propensities it will never, except in short periods of disillusionment, appeal to the young and all those others who believe that some changes are desirable if this world is to become a better place.

Friedrich August von Hayek

Architects often have a mindset where you solve a problem, so you have a set of needs that you have to address. Often I feel that my projects have to have concrete applications.

Pedro Reyes

Often, American audiences are underestimated by producers and movie studios. They often think we're dumber than we are.

Ben Feldman

Videos of Antifa violence, some of them doctored, are regularly shared on conservative, pro-Trump and conspiracy theory-pushing websites, often with commentary that suggests the media purposefully ignores those events. These videos often do not often include wider context or numbers.

Elizabeth Flock

When people are in crisis and pose a threat to themselves or others, those closest to them are often the first to see the warning signs.

Lucy McBath

I'm thinking of how unexpected and yet oddly preordained life can be. Events are upon you in an instant, unforseen and without warning, and often times marked with disappointment and tragedy, but equally often leading to a better understanding of the bittersweet truth of life.

Rob Lowe

[Question: Do you feel that scientists correct themselves as often as they should?] More often than politicians, but not as often as they should.

Stephen Hawking

I realize that my opinion is my opinion, not everybody has to believe it and I never tried to shove anything down anyone's throat, but I was willing to take that to the trenches if you know what I mean. I took that opinion to the wall, often in public, often had to... I often had to fight in public with the very same people who I was trying to convince to play my records!

Bernie Finkelstein

Religion is simply one of a multitude of factors - economic political, cultural, social, tribal, racial - which shape and drive human action and reaction and often is the least important of those factors.

Mehdi Hasan

In America, quite often, for people from a certain economic position two choices become very evident as to their adult life. One is crime, one is the military. And it is quite often that some people choose one or the other, their options not being as many as someone from a higher income.
