I'm glad I'm successful at it, because it's allowed me to live very well financially, and give my kids a lot of things. It's enabled me to do stuff that I otherwise wouldn't be able to do. But it's not who I am.

Bagheera: Shere Khan is not going to allow you to grow up to become a man. Just another hunter with a gun. Mowgli: Aww, well, I'll explain I'd never do a thing like that. Bagheera: Nonsense. No one explains anything to Shere Khan.
I spent a lot of time in the White House in the public areas where reporters are allowed to go, but I spoke to people about the private quarters as well. Some of the things I learned were small, novelistic details. For example, the fact that there we...
I know how important it is to have your quarterback standing upright. Matter of fact, I know how important it is not to allow someone hit on him period because I want him to think that this pocket is completely safe, no one is going to get to me and ...
Sonmi-451: This is what General Apis asked of me. Archivist: What, to be executed? Sonmi-451: If I had remained invisible, the truth would stay hidden. I couldn't allow that. Archivist: And what if no one believes this truth? Sonmi-451: Someone alrea...
Daisy Werthan: Did you have the air-conditioning checked? I told you to have the air-conditioning checked. Hoke Colburn: I had the air-conditioning checked. I don't know what for. You never allow me to turn it on. Daisy Werthan: Hush up!
Edna: This is a hobo suit, darling. You can't be seen in this. I won't allow it. Fifteen years ago, maybe, but now? Feh! Bob: Wait, what do you mean? *You* designed it. Edna: I never look back, darling! It distracts from the now.
[Sarah is running away from the Fire Gang] Fiery 1: Hey, lady! It's against the rules to throwing other people's heads! Firey 2: Yo! You're only allowed to throw your own head! Firey 5: Yeah, that's right!
Sheba Hart: I hadn't been pursued like this for years... I knew it was wrong, and immoral, and completely ridiculous, but, I don't know. I just allowed it to happen. Barbara Covett: The boy is fifteen! Sheba Hart: But he's quite mature for his age!
Nero: We wait. We wait for the one who allowed our home to be destroyed, as we've been doing for 25 years. Ayel: Once we've killed him? Nero: Kill him? I'm not gonna kill him. I'm gonna make him watch.
We know that U.S. voters, and world leaders, allow Obama extraordinary leeway when it comes to deadly drone strikes, precisely because of his politics, character and background. (We are talking about a man, after all, who won the Nobel Peace Prize wh...
If you've ever been to a poetry slam, you know that the highest scoring emotion is self-righteous indignation: how dare you judge me. So in that way, the poem, 'What Teachers Make,' is an absolutely formulaic slam poem designed to allow me to get up ...
I'm a technological optimist in that I do believe that technology will provide solutions that will allow the world in 2050 to support 9 billion people at an acceptable standard of living. But I'm a political pessimist in that I am concerned about whe...
People need to understand that the Lauryn Hill they were exposed to in the beginning was all that was allowed in that arena at the time. I had to step away for the sake of the machine. I was being way too compromised. I felt uncomfortable having to s...
I think every athlete will tell you no matter what sport you're in, when you train so hard and when you care so much about doing what you do, there's a little bit of nerves that come with that. But nerves that won't prevent you form performing, nerve...
