Free open-source software, by its nature, is unlikely to feature secret back doors that lead directly to Langley, Va.
Evgeny Morozov
Image
Lawyers were notorious for finding cases in the most unlikely places, especially ones with huge potential damagers awards.
Jodi Picoult
Image
Keep thy hook always baited, for a fish lurks even in the most unlikely swim.
Ovid
Image
If you have a habit of declaring milestones or changing them based on the crisis of the day, don't expect the team to remain motivated. Similarly, if the team isn't aware of the milestone and the value behind it, they are unlikely to deliver.
Martin Zwilling
Image
People are unlikely to know that they need a product which does not exist and the basis of market research in new and innovative products is limited in this regard.
John Harvey-Jones

The more images I gathered from the past, I said, the more unlikely it seemed to me that the past had actually happened in this or that way, for nothing about it could be called normal: most of it was absurd, and if not absurd, then appalling.
W. G. Sebald

Finding a master of the dark art of ninjutsu in modern westernized Japan seems as unlikely as finding an active practitioner of the magic of Merlin in contemporary industrialized England.
Stephen K. Hayes
Image
The loss of candor is grievous, and in my opinion it may yet prove to be mortal, because if we cannot discuss our problems in plain speech that describes reality, it is unlikely that we will be able to solve them.
Alexander Haig
Image
Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you.
Roald Dahl

First, we are born in the same galaxy. Born of the same spe­cies. Our life­times over­lap. The meet­ings between humans are so unlikely as to be mira­cu­lous. To laugh, to cry, and to fall in love. Every­one is made up of a col­lec­tion of 1% chances. Thus, I am dazzled by the fact that there are so many mir­acles in this world.
Hikaru Nakamura

Superficially it's a problem if homosexuality is genetic - if the difference between people's sexual preferences is genetic - because at least a pure homosexual would be unlikely to reproduce and therefore pass on the genes. So the first question you ask is, is it actually genetic, and the answer is probably to some extent yes.
Richard Dawkins
Image
We have become a plague upon ourselves and upon the Earth. It is cosmically unlikely that the developed world will choose to end its orgy of fossil energy consumption, and the Third World its suicidal consumption of landscape. Until such time as Homo Sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along.
David Graeber

The Tale of Despereaux came at the request of Luke, my friend's then-eight-year-old son, who asked, Write for me the story of an unlikely hero with exceptionally large ears.
Kate DiCamillo
Image
What finally scuppered Napoleon's Europe was of course the fatal combination of the English Channel and the Russian winter the same unlikely partnership that also did for Hitler's Europe.
Andrew Roberts
Image
Use unlikely materials. Who would choose Pnin as hero, but how did we live before Pnin?
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
If all you're trying to do is essentially the same thing as your rivals, then it's unlikely that you'll be very successful.
Michael Porter
Image
Without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely to be worth the journey. Persist.
Seth Godin
Image
I sometimes find reality far more fantastical and unlikely than what I could just make up.
J. Michael Straczynski
Image
Highly unlikely but not impossible.
Suzanne Collins
Image
Produce as many ideas as possible. Try to produce unlikely ideas.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Image
Trying to prioritize among things we're unlikely to do is pretty fruitless.
Charlie Munger
Image
Where religion is trivialized, one is unlikely to find persecution.
Charles Krauthammer
Image
When a highly successful leader retires after a long career, it is very unlikely that his successor will be of comparable caliber. Anyone of similar ability and drive would have gone somewhere else, instead of waiting in the wings for years for a chance to show his own leadership.
Thomas Sowell
Image
Freedom is unlikely to be lost all at once and openly. It is far more likely to be eroded away, bit by bit, amid glittering promises and expressions of noble ideals.
