I couldn't stand back and watch the strong economy that my father envisioned go to ruins.
Park Geun-hye
Image
I kept pushing against the black, though, almost a reflex. I wasn't trying to lift it. I was just resisting. Not allowing it to crush me completely. I wasn't Atlas, and the black felt as heavy as a planet I couldn't shoulder it. All I could do was not be entirely obliterated.
Stephenie Meyer
Image
I couldn't function if I weren't allowed to stretch and do really different characters where I can change the whole beingness of that person. That's my pleasure in acting and has been since I was a kid. That's always been my pleasure to create complete characters.
John Travolta

I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once.
Haruki Murakami
Image
America will be disadvantaged, just like Detroit was disadvantaged when they couldn't build smaller cars in the '70s or '80s. The world shifts.
Jerry Brown

The narrative impulse is always with us we couldn't imagine ourselves through a day without it.
Robert Coover

I was a terrible athlete and a pretty bad student. I couldn't focus. My imagination was always racing.

Once a fellow's enjoying the fruits of government health care and all the rest, he couldn't give a hoot about the general societal interest he's got his, and if it's going to bankrupt the state a generation hence, well, as long as they can keep the checks coming till he's dead, it's fine by him.
Mark Steyn

I went along doing the one-salad-a-night routine for a year. And I remember feeling so tired and depressed and irritable. I had no personal life. I was always flying someplace - weekends, holidays, vacations. Dinners at night were no fun because I couldn't eat.
Carol Alt
Image
America has given me everything Australia couldn't. I grew up on a dairy farm. Now I live in Isleworth, a gated community in Orlando with Tiger Woods down the street.
Stuart Appleby
Image
I would get adult acne when it was somebody really famous I had to interview, so sometimes I would have to look straight at the camera because I couldn't look sideways or profile, because it would show.
Jancee Dunn

Ah, but being in love made you mean and crazy. Love made you act like a fool even when you knew you were acting like a fool and couldn't help yourself from acting like a fool.
Sandra Brown

I couldn't have thrown that bomb. I was at home making bombs
Louis Lingg

All my life people have called me gifted. Extraordinary. Blessed. I had all these dreams to become something. Someone. No one ever said I couldn't. No one ever said Killer.
Sophie Jordan

We were married for better or worse. I couldn't have done better, and she couldn't have done worse.

Shout out to my haters sorry you couldn't phase me.

I couldn't write about love without writing about hate - specifically, how the experience of hatred embeds itself in the body and prevents love from entering or leaving.
Vivek Shraya

A good jockey doesn't need orders and a bad jockey couldn't carry them out anyway so it's best not to give them any.
Lester Piggott
Image
I was playing organ at a silent movie house at Harlem and they'd be showing some death scene on the screen. Likely as not, I'd grab a bottle and start swingin' out on 'Squeeze Me' or 'Royal Garden Blues'. The managers complained but, heck, they couldn't stop me!
Fats Waller
Image
The bad press came because they thought I should fight more. I couldn't get the fights because if I would sign to fight one of King's guys I would be signed to him. I chose not to do that. In hindsight, that might have been a mistake.
Gerry Cooney
Image
When they tried me out as a host on TV, I found that I just couldn't be that gregarious person. I was stranger than that.
Barbra Streisand
Image
I always individuate myself from other writers who say they would die if they couldn't write. For me, I'd die if I couldn't read.
