Seemingly Quotations

In American military cemeteries all over the world, seemingly endless rows of whitened grave markers stand largely unvisited and in silence. The gardeners tend the lawns, one section at a time. Even at the famous sites, tourism is inconstant.

I've always been fascinated by accounts of seemingly 'normal' people who have committed horrendous acts of cruelty and violence. You hear it on the news all the time.

Scarlett Johansson was wonderful in 'Lost in Translation,' and then, seemingly within a couple of weeks, she became completely Hollywoodised. I was shocked. I didn't recognise her. I hope to God it's just a phase.

The Air Force has it far worse than the Navy in terms of existential fears, primarily due to the rapid rise and unbelievable dissemination of drones, where seemingly now every military unit has their own miniature air wing of what would have recently passed as toys.

I have always had a tendency to keep enlarging problems which I personally think is the way the world works... that seeing anything one dimensionally on the kinds of political, sort of big issues of human progress is going to be a distorted view of things, which is why over my career I have gone seemingly from subject to subject to subject.

The very definition of 'blackness' is as broad as that of 'whiteness,' yet we're seemingly always trying to find a specific, limited definition.

Every clinical encounter is an opportunity to generate social capital. Even in situations where patient needs are complex or seemingly insurmountable, it is the empathy and goodwill which makes the difference.

Being a 911 operator means balancing seemingly contradictory skills. On one hand, operators have to be fanatically precise and well-organized. On the other, they must be able to establish rapport with panicky callers.

As seemingly impossible as it may seem of having zero regrets, when I look at my life now and all the mistakes I've made, all the bad decisions I've made, all the things I could have done differently or done more in, I don't think I would have changed anything.

Leaders cannot work in a vacuum. They may take on larger, seemingly more important roles in an organization, but this does not exclude them from asking for and using feedback.

The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything. And I really believe that. And what I try to teach young people, or anybody in any creative field, is that every idea should seemingly be outrageous.

Low interest in this service among the grey-power generation and the baby boomers stems from multiple reasons, including the fact that the service is a novelty to many senior citizens, who are typically slow to adopt new technologies in the first place. The seemingly complex applications inhibit adoption.

Securing the long-term future of sustainable, welfare-friendly systems is essential if we are to build up over the longer-term livestock which are...resistant to the seemingly endless cycle of diseases that challenge our farming industry.

One seemingly small mistake - that most people don't think of as anything - can have ramifications far beyond what seems legal to most people. But it is legal.

Memory enhancement self-help programs abound and promise improved memory performance by the utilization of any number of seemingly unique techniques focused on the context of how information is encoded.

Positive market incentives operating in the public interest are too few and far between, and are also up against a seemingly never-ending expansion of perverse incentives and lobbying.

Nicotine withdrawal was very much like trying to s*** a melon. The pressure was remarkable! Seemingly an impossible task.

The incommodiousness of it all.

One of the seemingly unsolvable problems is what do you do when someone is wrongly put on this watch list. If there are that many people on the list, a lot of them probably shouldn't be there. But how are they ever going to get off?

For us, Easter has new meaning than it ever did in the past. I was the skeptic when it came to this kind of thing. I want people to know that if, like me, they have a place in their lives that feels empty, there is hope.

We take something that seemingly has no room for innovation, and with the right people, we often discover that it does.

I see genres as generating sets of rules or conventions that are only interesting when they are subverted or used to disguise the author's intent. My own way of doing this is to attempt a sort of whimsical alchemy, whereby seemingly incompatible genres are brought into unlikely partnerships.

I see him being spry myself, but I can't say he looks quicker or faster than last year. I haven't found myself thinking that way. I don't see any change; all I see is someone who seemingly knows what we're trying to do after being in it for a year. I see some decision-making -- him making quick decisions -- and I think he understands what we want. That's what I see. I don't see anything physically different.

Our game reports are not for public dissemination and particularly not for politicians who may be using this whole disjointed affair to seemingly garner votes.

We will continue to move forward in developing strategies that meet the needs of our U.S. Navy partners while causing the least disruption to Virginia Beach property owners. We remain committed to ensuring the decisions we reach in Virginia are based on accurate and objective data. We repeatedly implored the BRAC commissioners to make sure their actions in regard to the former Cecil Field were based on the same level of verifiable information and analysis that they seemingly applied when examining Oceana. I agree with Mayor Peyton that it is unfortunate the BRAC Commission's actions unfairly pitted two communities against each other.

What a roller-coaster ride. We seemingly had the game under control, but almost gave it away. But I have to give the team credit. They never quit. In the past two games, we were forced to sit out some key players due to injury, illness and card problems. I am very proud of the way the team bounced back from all that adversity.

We will undoubtedly spend the coming weeks and months appealing the seemingly endless list of errors... in the case,
