Even something as complex as the eye has appeared several times; for example, in the squid, the vertebrates, and the arthropods. It's bad enough accounting for the origin of such things once, but the thought of producing them several times according to the modern synthetic theory makes my head swim

Frank B. Salisbury

The outcome that we wish suddenly manifests itself in our reality, and the truth is, none of those things suddenly appeared. It is we who have suddenly appeared on the scene where they existed always.

Neale Donald Walsch

Goering was a contradictory [and] complex ... character.

I appeared three times with Jools Holland on 'The Tube.'

Paul Young

Great men are usually the products of their times and one of the men developed by these times takes rank with the greatest railroad leaders in history.

The invention of ethical and political doctrines, which blossomed into our own social sciences, is a product of times when things appeared manageable. The same goes for the criticism of those doctrines, though as a voice from the past, this criticism proved prophetic.

Joseph Brodsky

Adolf Galland

If your catchphrase has appeared in men's toilets, then you know you've made it!

Goering got into endless arguments with other officers [and] he did not like routine work.

Goering was known to wear togas, fur coats and faux-medieval hunting outfits.

Jessica Sanchez

I looked at [Goering eating sausage] and I knew that what they say was true: that pigs eat the flesh of their own.

Adolf Hitler

Men to whom life had appeared as a reversible coat - seamy on both sides.

O. Henry

Now it has appeared to me unfair that humanity should be engaged perpetually in calling all those things bad which have been good enough to make other things better, in everlastingly kicking down the ladder by which it has climbed. It has appeared to me that progress should be something else besides a continual parricide; therefore I have investigated the dust-heaps of humanity, and found a treasure in all of them. I have found that humanity is not incidentally engaged, but eternally and systematically engaged, in throwing gold into the gutter and diamonds into the sea.
