I have not made any suggestions about climate change. This is more about blending or shifting the conversation about the environment versus the economy. It's just such an old, outdated conversation.

Jennifer Granholm

Ask any man what nationality he would prefer to be, and ninety nine out of a hundred will tell you that they would prefer to be Englishmen

Cecil Rhodes

When a girl says she likes you as a friend, what she means is: "Rather than have sex with you, I would prefer to lose you as a friend."

Roger Ebert

It reminds me of like this pathetic friend that everybody had when they were a little kid who would let you borrow any of his stuff if you would just be his friend. That's what the library is. A government funded pathetic friend.

Jerry Seinfeld

There are all kinds of things evolving in filmmaking I'm not sure I'm comfortable with. A friend of mine just showed me an immersive 360 movie where you move from environment to environment and can look in any direction you want while you're experiencing it. Which is cool - but it kills directing, as far as I'm concerned.

Perhaps most people in the world aren’t trying to be free, Kafka. They just think they are. It’s all an illusion. If they really were set free, most people would be in a real pickle. You’d better remember that. People actually prefer not being free?

Haruki Murakami

I would prefer to use the word free. I think the Dior thing is so much freer. There was not so much free about Jil's way of working.

Raf Simons

There are many who would much prefer that the word 'climate' never be mentioned and that the issue be eliminated from our national conversation.

Al Gore

I find it very hard to believe that people would prefer an awkward picture with me than a normal conversation.

Alison Pill

The idea of 'Freedom's Goblin,' to me, leads to a wild conversation. I would hope that father and son, driving home from the record store, could have a conversation about what that title means. Because to me, it's the duality of being free: the evil and the good, and how it's a constant paradox.

Ty Segall

It's nice to have a safe place to have a conversation going; whether it's a friend or family member, you can use 'Queer Eye' as an entry point to have a conversation that's meaningful.

Jonathan Van Ness

I would prefer as friend a good man ignorant than one more clever who is evil too.

Euripides

He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty.

Khalil Gibran

I prefer to work for my country in a free and independent way. I was born free, and I want to die free. I am always suspicious of ideology. Instead, I respect men with ideas.
