10 QUOTES WITH «OUTSET»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word outset.
1
John Perry Barlow
It didn't matter what we did or where we did it as long as we were together. We knew we'd found what most people either pursue in years of futile search or dismiss as a fantasy at the outset: the missing half of ourselves. The real thing.
2
Carl Bernstein
There had always been black people in and out of our house, and from the outset I had been taught that for them life was defined by struggle and filled with injustice.
3
Mike Birbiglia
I think serious situations actually make for the best kind of belly laughs. But they're also the hardest to convert into comedy at the outset.
4
Van Wyck Brooks
If men were basically evil, who would bother to improve the world instead of giving it up as a bad job at the outset?
5
Rene Cassin
I shall confess at the outset that it was only shortly after the beginning of this century that I entered active life - with a somewhat precocious capacity for involvement.
6
Joel Coen
Sometimes, in certain stories, I think we know at the outset essentially what the tone is going to be, or it becomes important that we're groping toward some kind of story with a certain kind of tone that we both get somehow. But I don't think how that's combined with other elements is ever in any way overtly discussed.
7
George Crabbe
To show the world what long experience gains, requires not courage, though it calls for pains; but at life's outset to inform mankind is a bold effort of a valiant mind.
8
Brett Dalton
Everybody is the way they are because of certain events that have happened in their life. Oftentimes you'll meet somebody who seems a certain way, and then you realize, 'Oh, that guy's actually the sweetest man I know. But I wouldn't have known that from the outset because that's hidden.'
9
Arthur Eddington
It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
10
Lapo Elkann
The value of 'Made in Italy' must necessarily be up-to-date. This is the philosophy that Italia Independent has embraced. We decided from the outset to do away with stereotypes and attune ourselves to the extreme pace, to the incessant metamorphoses of the globalized world.
