We have collected the best Late Quotes by famous authors including Seymour Cray, Pink, Hubert H. Humphrey, Mark Haddon, John Mott and many others, we hope that among them you will find the right thought.
The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late.
Seymour Cray
In the late ’90s, R&B was dominant in the radio, and the white kids were taking it mainstream.
Pink
There are those who say to you – we are rushing this issue of civil rights. I say we are 172 years late.
Hubert H. Humphrey
I was born too late for steam trains and a lazy eye meant I’d never be an astronaut.
Mark Haddon
It is a startling and solemnizing fact that even as late as the twentieth century, the Great Command of Jesus Christ to carry the Gospel to all mankind is still so largely unfulfilled.
John Mott
I am a really bad traveler, I hate traveling and I hate being late so I figure if I could just click my fingers and be somewhere then that would be great!
Harry Melling
I was something of a late bloomer.
Ricky Whittle
Growing up, I missed the whole ‘Three Stooges’ thing. Either they weren’t on the station in my hometown, or we hadn’t bought a TV set yet, or they came to town too late for me. I’m pretty sure that at the right age, I would have loved them.
Roger Ebert
I had done quite a bit of research about math education when I spoke before Congress in 2000 about the importance of women in mathematics. The session of Congress was all about raising more scholarships for girls in college. I told them I felt that it’s too late by college.
Danica McKellar
Sunsets are great. Sunrises are a mixed bag. You either got up way too early or went to bed way too late.
Matt Dillon
I have been five minutes too late all my life-time!
Hannah Cowley
I learned Romanian very late, when I was fifteen, in town, and I wanted to learn it. I like the language very much.
Herta Muller
Finally, we need more Border Patrol agents. Although Congress has already tripled the number of Border Patrol agents since the late 1980s, more are still needed.
Ric Keller
To me, Ennis stands for the conservative side of America. He’s the biggest homophobe in the whole movie – culturally and psychologically – but by the time he admits his feelings, it’s too late.
Ang Lee
My old boyfriend, Warren Beatty, used to say I was a late developer,’ she reflects. ‘He was right. It took me 50 years to find motherhood and unconditional love.’
Diane Keaton
When I first got to Madrid, Cannavaro helped me loosen up a lot. The rule was that I could attack as long as I sprinted back. But if I was late? Man, then it got real. The man could yell.
Marcelo
When I started in the late 1950s, every film I made – no matter how low the budget – got a theatrical release. Today, less that 20-percent of our films get a theatrical release.
Roger Corman
For years, I meant to read ‘Arabian Sands’, Wilfred Thesiger’s account of two punishing camel journeys during the late 1940s across Southern Arabia’s Empty Quarter. Now that I have, I can sheepishly join the chorus of those who revere the book as one of the half dozen greatest works of modern English travel writing.
Michael Dirda
There’s no reason, ever, to be late. Or early.
Noel Gallagher
Glory comes too late, after one as been reduced to ashes.
Marcus Valerius Martial
In the late 90s I was hired to participate in a 2 year initiative discussing intimacy and depression which was funded by an educational grant by Glaxo Wellcome.
Drew Pinsky
It’s never the wrong time to call on Toad. Early or late he’s always the same fellow. Always good-tempered, always glad to see you, always sorry when you go!
Kenneth Grahame
I was a little late in the game for Twitter and Facebook and everything because I thought, ‘Oh, I don’t know. I just don’t have time.’
Stacy Keibler
Santa Clara County has 23 active Superfund sites, more than any other county in the United States. All of them were designated as such in the mid to late 1980s, and most were contaminated by toxic chemicals involved in making computer parts. Completely cleaning up these chemicals may be impossible.
Tatiana Schlossberg
I often heard about his cases and I often sat in on his trials. In the late 1960s when I was growing up I wanted to be a crusader like him but I didn’t want to wear a suit and commute.
David Guterson
I’m not a big crime reader, but I’m reading Michael Connelly’s ‘The Reversal.’ I’m going back to his novels. I’m also reading Keith Richards’ ‘Life.’ I’m always fascinated by the transition from the innocent late ’60s and early ’70s and the youth culture becoming an industry.
Jo Nesbo
The truth is, we have this idea that late night is about creativity and being cool, but that’s not our job. Our job is to get as many people watching the commercials in between our show. That’s the reality of it.
Jimmy Kimmel
Really, I was such a late bloomer, I really didn’t learn how to be me until I was in my late ’40s, which is when I started playing roles that were closer to me.
Ron Perlman
I picked up reading late because I grew up dyslexic. When I went to college, a friend who was a big reader got me started on a number of writers, including Hemingway.
Lee Pace
Well, you know, I mean, I first did my live shows in the late 70’s and in those days I had a boatload of equipment that always seemed to be going wrong.
Thomas Dolby
I was always an actor, starting in middle school. I was in all the plays and all that. But dancing didn’t come into my life until late into high school.
Harry Shum, Jr.
Progress would not have been the rarity it is if the early food had not been the late poison.
Walter Bagehot
There’s a part of me that wishes I’d never said one single solitary word on any subject publicly. Then I could have been the tortured poet, and there’s so much mileage in that. But it’s too late to stop now.
Richard Thompson
I’m absolutely strict about it. When I land, I put my watch right, and I don’t care what I feel like, I will go to bed at half past eleven. If that means going to bed early or late, that’s what I live by. As soon as you get there, live by that time.
David Attenborough
I’m kind of an insomniac and watch TV late at night.
Monica Keena
As an actor, if I show up late somewhere or I say something that’s eccentric, it’s totally acceptable – not only that, it’s lauded in some perverse way.
Jesse Eisenberg
I don’t see this planet being… they’re talking about how they’re turning around the environmental problems here, but I think it’s already too late.
Ace Frehley
I’ve never enjoyed sleep as much until I got the ‘Today’ job. There is something about early sleep that’s much better than late sleep. I feel myself going to sleep; I don’t just plonk my head on the pillow. It’s a sort of winding-down thing.
Evan Davis
I’ll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.
Salma Hayek
David Lynch and I almost made a movie together in the late ’80s. We had lots of dinners and lunches. He’s a very cool, hip guy. This film, let’s face it, is like an homage to him, I would imagine he’d find it funny.
Martin Short
Because I had children relatively late – in my 40s rather than in my 20s – it wasn’t anything I ever knew that I would do. It kind of happened to me: I met the right woman and we had children. It was a revelation because it suddenly makes me realize, ‘Oh, I get it. Now I know what to do with the rest of my life.’
Mark Strong
I played baseball, and that’s pretty much it. Basketball came late, this was, basketball was the sport that I tried to master, I kind of mastered baseball, so basketball was one of those things where I wanted to master this game, so that’s why I probably play it the way I do.
Eric Williams
If you look at most successful startups, they’re run by people in their mid to late forties, who’ve gone through the trenches multiple times and had multiple failures, so they understand.
Tony Fadell
The danger of leaving overwhelming wealth and power in the grasp of a small minority is a lesson that leaders such as ousted Tunisian president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali and deposed Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak have learned a little too late, as the demonstrations across the Arab world indicate.
Graydon Carter
When I was first introduced to Buddhism in a high school World Studies class, I dismissed it out of hand. This was during the hedonistic days of the late ’60s, and this spiritual path seemed so grim with its concern about attachment and, apparently, anti-pleasure.
Tara Brach
We expect to keep our writing sessions going until late spring, then to play some new material in a few secret club dates. The record will likely take a long time and may not surface until 1999!
Adrian Belew
We’re not uncomfortable with it, and we’ve already been through enough of the music business where I’m not really worried that commercial success is going to in some way – we’re already past saving, you know what I mean? It’s too late for us.
Jerry Garcia
If I see anything remotely like a telcom-run faster internet that you have to pay more to get preferential traffic on, I’m out folks. I’ve seen this story before, I ran an ISP back in the late 90s.
Drew Curtis
Resistance to criminal rashness comes better late than never.
Livy
I’m kind of new to Twitter. I’m about one year in, so I’m a little late to the party.
Josh Charles
I have never heard anyone say This is it. I know right now is the high point of my life. It will never get any better. Only in retrospect do we recognize the best times and of course then it is too late.
Jonathan Carroll
I never ever take into consideration the consequences of my actions until it’s too late.
Jo Brand
I want to get a vending machine, with fun sized candy bars, and the glass in front is a magnifying glass. You’ll be mad, but it will be too late.
Mitch Hedberg
Of late years (perhaps as a result of our political changes) art has borrowed from history more than ever.
Alfred de Vigny
The best thing about lying in bed late is that you learn to distinguish between first things and trivia, for whatever presses on you has to prove its importance before it makes you move.
Max Lerner
I can’t stand being late. I try to be professional. I try not to let people down. But people let me down. That’s why I don’t rely on anyone to call me. That’s why I have clocks as well as people. I have to be able to call myself; it’s the only way to be sure.
Spike Milligan
I feel I’ve done everything late in life. Got married late, and I didn’t do my first movie until I was 31. But in this crazy business, you never know what’s going to happen. Maybe after 20 years of making movies I’ll become an overnight sensation.
Ray Liotta
Susan, an only child who never had any roots, and I, a lone wolf who got married 20 years to late, were adopted by the kids as much as they were by us.
Harpo Marx
It’s never too late to be great.
Jordan Burroughs
The sudden death of the leading man will cause change, making another man leader. Soon, but too late, the young man will attain high office. By land and sea, he will be feared.
Nostradamus
I decided to go to dance school at 22, which is late for a dancer.
Matthew Bourne
I have a hard time waking up. No alarm clock works! It sounds childish, but I seriously have my manager, my mom or a buddy of mine wake me up if I have to be somewhere. It’s a serious issue! I’ve been very late for some serious gigs because of it!
Jesse McCartney
How does a project get to be a year late? One day at a time.
Fred Brooks
I’ve always been a late bloomer. My body developed late. From ninth to 10th grade, I grew like 3 inches. Just kind of stretched out. I was like 6-1, grew to 6-4 in 10th grade.
Paul Pierce
I think the running game is very important to every offense. Being balanced is extremely important. There’s times where you have to throw the ball. You could be down late in the game, you need to come back; you have to be able to pass it when they know you’re passing it.
Tom Brady
The dueling maturity levels in high school is such a source of comedy to me. I was always such a late developer. I was last to walk. I was last to ride a bike. I was last to have sex. That’s why it’s fun to portray one side of your childhood onscreen.
Paul Feig
We are often too late with our brilliance. We are on time delay. The only instant gratification comes in the form of potato chips. The rest will find us by surprise somewhere down the road maybe as we sleep and dream of other things.
Richard Schiff
It hadn’t really percolated through my brain that I was going to see real, live TV from the surface of the Moon, and boy, oh, boy, had that Saturn V launch been exciting! And then, there it was – late at night, sitting up, watching, and there was Neil Armstrong actually standing on the surface of the Moon.
David Weber
I didn’t mind being in school. But I was usually uninspired and always late. I did what I had to, but not more.
Robyn
You’re gonna get your traditional Busta Rhymes and Pharrell collabo. My man Focus from the Aftermath crew; Dr. Dre; the late, great J Dilla got work on the album. It’s gonna be great – look forward to the new bang-out.
Busta Rhymes
Well, I didn’t really grow up playing or listening to metal, like many of the kids I went to school with. I only got into it in my late teens, so when Marilyn Manson formed, it was at a time when I was still excited about approaching music from that angle.
Daisy Berkowitz
At night, I try to sneak in some of the shows that I love. I can’t live without ’30 Rock’ – I was a fan before I joined the show in 2007 – and ‘The Office.’ ‘Revenge’ is my drama. And I love Jimmy Kimmel if I can stay up late enough to watch him.
Sherri Shepherd
I was never particularly wild, just very busy and often didn’t think about what I was putting into my body. Today things are very different. I stopped smoking in my late 30s; I avoid wheat and gluten as this makes me feel bloated and sluggish; exercise regularly and bounce out of bed.
Britt Ekland
It is never too late to give up our prejudices.
Henry David Thoreau
Most breast cancer-related deaths can be prevented through simple and painless preventive measures. A late diagnosis can result in more serious, long-term consequences.
Olympia Snowe
We need to let the referee’s sole thing be to protect the quarterback and get those late hits out of there. They even have a stat on television that says ‘knockdowns.’ Knockdowns means that you knock him down after he throws the ball. The assumption is, if it’s legal, we’ll make excuses for them.
John Madden
I’m a late developer.
Kristin Scott Thomas
Everything is so fresh in WWE, it’s hard to take it all in sometimes. I get moments when I’m riding the road late at night, and I get to reflect on my thoughts a little bit.
Braun Strowman
So what really works? Treatments in jail do some good, but it’s mostly too late: finding a family and a job or just growing older make most prisoners eventually give up crime.
Polly Toynbee
If with open mind one reads and observes industriously and long; if in so doing one covers a wide field and so covering reflects in terms of realism, he is likely, soon or late, to be brought to a sudden consciousness that Man is an unknown quantity and his existence unsuspected.
Louis Sullivan
I always liked having a good time. I got into this business because I got fired from any job I ever had because I stayed out late playing music.
Jerry Jeff Walker
I think the best thing I ever did was, years before I got the ‘Late Night’ show, when I first got out to Los Angeles to be a television writer, the first thing I did was I signed up to take improvisational classes… And I studied that for years, and I really loved it.
Conan O’Brien
The big gay clubs like Heaven started having mixed nights in the late ’80s.
Neil Tennant
The late development of mass industrial organization in the United States has both stimulated and retarded the political development of the American working class.
C. L. R. James
The difficulty with this conversation is that it’s very different from most of the ones I’ve had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees.
Douglas Adams
When you talk to women who were working as print journalists or in broadcasting in the ’50s, and then you talk to women who were working in the late ’60s, there’s an enormous difference. There had already been a huge transition. Then, of course, you get well into the ’70s and there were women with children working.
Romola Garai
When my dad visited me while I was doing a play in New York City two years ago, I took him to see ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert.’ Now I’m going to his house. It’s surreal.
Himesh Patel
There’s a focus that hasn’t been there for ages and ages and some American bands are sounding quite English like they did in the late 70s and early 80s.
Graham Coxon
Why must conversions always come so late? Why do people always apologize to corpses?
David Brin
I’m on so late I’m definitely the last seconds of anyone’s attention. So I just want to give them something dumb to laugh at, so they go, ‘That’s funny,’ then fall asleep.
Jimmy Fallon
But I have learned a thing or two; I know as sure as fate, when we lock up our lives for wealth, the gold key comes too late.
Will Carleton
I was like other teenagers in the late 1960s; I too was very interested in having an Afro and getting rid of the perm that was in my hair.
A’Lelia Bundles
Although I am a young leader, I actually came to it strangely quite late. I have a different perspective, partly because of my family, partly because of what I did for ten years: negotiating trade deals, working out in Central Asia doing assistance projects.
Nick Clegg
You get into your late fifties, people start falling like flies all around you. I don’t take life for granted any more. I’m really glad to be here.
Tom Petty
‘Commonwealth’ is not a word I ever used growing up in Colombo. There, in the late 1950s, it would have meant little more than New Zealand lamb and Anchor butter at the cold stores.
Romesh Gunesekera
In the late 1980s the amount of German films was down to four or five percent of the market, and the remaining 95 percent were American. It is now 20 to 30 percent German productions.
Wim Wenders
When I was 8 or 9, I started using bulletin board systems, which was the precursor to the Internet, where you’d dial into… a shared system and shared computers. I’ve had an email address since the late ’80s, when I was 8 or 9 years old, and then I got on the Internet in ’93 when it was first starting out.
Aaron Patzer
There was a best-selling book in the late ’60s and ’70s called ‘The Adventurers’ by Harold Robbins. The lead character’s name was Dax. Anyone that’s roughly my age that’s named Dax is named from that book.
Dax Shepard
Yeah I grew up in the public eye. I became a man in the public eye, which is kind of a bizarre thing to come to terms with. Now I’m in my late 20s and I was in my early 20s when I became recognizable. But I think ‘Moneyball’ represents a very strong shift in my career and becoming an adult and a man.
Jonah Hill
If you have been vaccinated for polio, mumps, measles, chicken pox, hepatitis, or rabies, it may be too late for you to stand your ethical ground: You have already benefited from fetal-tissue research. This is, after all, a practice that’s been legal since the 1930s.
Katha Pollitt
Late payments also hurt your FICO score. And never, ever take out a cash advance on your credit card.
Suze Orman
As I’ve traveled the country, we visit tech incubators all the time where women are going into their second or third act in their career and learning how to be software programmers, or how to work at startup companies, and learning a completely different skill set. I think it’s never too late.
Reshma Saujani
I think it’s never too late to start anything, except maybe being a ballerina.
Wendy Liebman
A man never sees all that his mother has been to him until it’s too late to let her know that he sees it.
William Dean Howells
When I was a kid, I had ambitions for being a television announcer, which was before television took off, you know, in the late ’40s. And just through necessity, going out looking for work, I was starting to sing, and dance, and act, and I never expected to do that, nor to have any success at it at least.
Dick Van Dyke
I just want to play like Jimi Hendrix. I love other forms of music and wish I could play classical piano, or saxophone like John Coltrane, but that will never happen. Because my nature is to play electric guitar really well and to emulate my heroes from the late 1960s.
Joe Satriani
I’ve been quite a late developer on the clothes front, but I’ve suddenly realised it is one of life’s joys.
Benedict Cumberbatch
While the surfeit of cheap calories that the U.S. food system has produced since the late 1970s may have taken food prices off the political agenda, this has come at a steep cost to public health.
Michael Pollan
It’s very lonely being a prominent black intellectual at an institution where you’re the only prominent black intellectual. That was the model that was followed in the late 60s when black studies started. You’d get one here and one there and one here, like Johnny Appleseed.
Henry Louis Gates
In the very early Seventies and the very late Sixties, nobody out here was originally from L.A.
Joe Walsh
Like gods, we have created a new universe called cyberspace that contains great good and ominous evil. We do not know yet if this new dimension will produce more monsters than marvels, but it is too late to go back.
David Horsey
We were talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth – then it’s far too late when they pass away.
George Harrison
During the work, you have to be sure that you haven’t left any holes, that you’ve captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
Andre Maurois
In the late 1960s, the masses were supposed to be passive, not entering into the public arena and having their voices heard.
Noam Chomsky
It’s never too late to do anything new when it comes to music.
Sivamani
I know Mother named me after a railroad man, but it’s too late now, I’m afraid. Much, much too late.
Hoagy Carmichael
We have listened here to the delegates who have recalled the terrible human suffering, and the great material destruction of the late war in the Pacific. It is with feelings of sorrow that we recall the part played in that catastrophic human experience by the old Japan.
Shigeru Yoshida
Well, I think one of the reasons Chicago became so popular as a filmmaker location is because New York had been used so many times that Chicago, I think, was rediscovered maybe in the late ’60s, early ’70s for a long time as a new location.
Richard Roeper
I got a bad conduct discharge, was at home for a few months in late ’99, and basically said, ‘Dad, I want to give wrestling a shot. I sure as hell don’t wanna go to college, and the Marine Corps wasn’t for me. And I need to make some money, so let’s see if I can do it.’
Randy Orton
You know, I always was an early morning or late night writer. Early morning was my favorite; late night was because you had a deadline. And at four in the morning you make up some of your most absurd jokes.
Joss Whedon
I grew up playing guitar in the late Nineties, early 2000s, so a very acoustic-driven pop-rock era, and then in college, I started listening to Jason Isbell and Kacey Musgraves. Then I really fell in love when I discovered really old country, like June Carter Cash – one of my all-time favorites.
Trixie Mattel
There’s a tremendous amount of work building the apparatus, getting the experiment to work. But sitting there late at night in the lab, and knowing light is going at bicycle speed, and that nobody in the history of mankind has ever been here before – that is mind-boggling. It’s worth everything.
Lene Hau
Remember that it’s never too late and you’re never too old to get the body you were born to have.
David Kirsch
When I have the time at home, I’ll practice three or four hours a day. I have to. And I’m a late starter; I started at age 17 and at age 51 I’m still learning.
Bruce Hornsby
I’ve often wondered about people that come to the profession late in life. I’ve wanted to be an actor since the first grade. I watched a play being performed by the third grade class, and it was… magic.
William Christopher
Once the attacks occur, as we learned on Sept. 11, it is too late. It makes little sense to deprive ourselves of an important, and legal, means to detect and prevent terrorist attacks while we are still in the middle of a fight to the death with al Qaeda.
John Yoo
I am very, very conscious of time. I always wear two watches. People ask me, ‘Why do you do that?’ Because I was late once,and it cost me a huge opportunity.
Chris Gardner
When I was late for shoots and press meets, my films did well.
Govinda
Here’s how I’ve lived my life: I’ve never been late to a set. I make films I believe in. I feel privileged to be able to do what I love.
Tom Cruise
I feel that I’m leaving Williamstown too early, but I’d rather leave too early than too late.
Michael Ritchie
I’m always late.
Sade Adu
It’s too late for me to get married before I’m famous. You never know people’s intentions.
Carmelo Anthony
I grew up in New York City in the late ’70s, at a time when U.S. – China relations were something that was on the front page of The New York Times on a regular basis.
John Pomfret
Overall when you work in fashion, you’re always in a rush. You’re always a little late, always in a hurry. Every single moment’s important, so you never have enough time to do what you want to do. It’s ridiculous.
Ines de La Fressange
I’m into ‘The Walking Dead,’ ‘Shaun of the Dead,’ obviously, and I’ve seen all the Romero movies. I am a classic zombie queen. And I love the White Walkers on ‘Game of Thrones.’ Weirdly, it wasn’t until pretty late in life that I found my entry point into horror films.
Anna Kendrick
I was actually a single man until I was 41. Rather late. Irish marry late.
Robert Vaughn
In Britain, eponymous lifestyle branding as we know it started in the late 1960s, with two fascinating families – the Conrans and the Ashleys – who in increasingly brilliant settings and catalogues sold rather different visions of what the new ideal upper-middle-y life looked like.
Peter York
I often write either really early in the morning, or really late at night.
Tracy Chapman
I don’t think that a Singularity would be visible to those going through one. Even the most disruptive changes are not universally or immediately distributed, and late followers learn from the reactions and dilemmas of those who had initially encountered the disruptive change.
Jamais Cascio
My mum raised three kids on her own on sweatshop wages of about six bucks an hour so there was a lot of late rent and landlords knocking on the door.
Anh Do
There’s a lot of women out there, some of whom are my age who’ve never been married and some who have been married and would like to be married again but think their ship has sailed, and I’m like, ‘Oh no, honey, let Miss Niecy show you it is never too late for love!’
Niecy Nash
The time to worrying about flying is when you’re on the ground. When you’re up in the air, it’s too late. No point in worrying about it then.
Denzel Washington
You can win it in the late innings if you never quit.
Robert Forster
Your parents leave you too soon and your kids and spouse come along late, but your siblings know you when you are in your most inchoate form.
Jeffrey Kluger
The clock never stops, never stops, never waits. We’re growing old. It’s getting late.
Ben Folds
I think future generations will say the late 20th century and the early 21st century was a time of great convulsions and upheavals.
N. T. Wright
I was born late – what my mother calls the last kick of a dying horse. There’s three of us children, but I’m 13 or 14 years younger than my brother and sister.
Paul O’Grady
I’ve been having this really weird anxiety dream about arriving too late or too early, and the people in charge are like, ‘You have to leave! You have to go back to the hotel and get ready!’ And I use the wrong exit, and I’m running down the red carpet in pyjamas, like, ‘No! Don’t look at me!’
Florence Welch
I have to tell you, though, the sexism in late night talk is so profound.
Kathy Griffin
There was a point in the late ’90s where all the graduating M.B.A.’s wanted to start companies in Silicon Valley, and for the most part they were not actually qualified to do it.
Marc Andreessen
I teach one semester a year, and this year I’m just teaching one course during that semester, a writing workshop for older students in their late 20s and early 30s, people in our graduate program who are already working on a manuscript and trying to bring it to completion.
Tobias Wolff
It was the late Dr. Mahendra Lal Sircar who, by founding the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, made it possible for the scientific aspirations of my early years to continue burning brightly.
C. V. Raman
At this late hour a wagon has been procured, and I have had it filled with plate and the most valuable portable articles, belonging to the house.
Dolley Madison
I realized late in life that my twin passions are music and people.
Yo-Yo Ma
The effect hip-hop had on me was enormous. I was exposed to it by happenstance. My father worked at a radio station in New York called WKTU Disco 92. It was the first radio station in New York City to play disco in the late ’70s.
Michael Rapaport
I wrote ‘White Teeth’ in the late nineties. I didn’t really feel trepidatious about it. It was a different time.
Zadie Smith
It’s never too late to go out and get that feeling back.
Loretta Swit
It seems evident that the IMF has learned nothing from its inequality-inducing policies during the 1980s debt crises in Latin America nor from its recession-deepening response to the East Asian crisis of the late 1990s. In both regions, the IMF has become synonymous with making bad situations worse.
Sharan Burrow
I came into music kind of late in life – until I was 17 I wanted to be a spy, wanted to be James Bond, so I had to learn rather quickly and practice longer than most people did to play catch up.
Daryl Davis
There are tons of people who are late to trends by nature and adopt a trend after it’s no longer in fashion. They exist in mutual funds. They exist in clothes. They exist in cars. They exist in lifestyles.
Jim Cramer
Jessie Wallace was the first time I erupted. She was late, she was young. She’s not like that any more. I lost my temper. It was silly and I burst into tears and ran up to the producer. I said I had been terrible and amateur.
Barbara Windsor
I grew up in big cities my whole life, and in my late 20s, I just felt like I was looking for something else.
Chloe Zhao
I’m normally late, so I just kind of throw on the sort of thing that’s at hand. And then I’ll go through phases of wearing the same thing again and again and again – and my wardrobe is mainly about black and white, so it goes together. I’ll play with certain elements, but I don’t really think about it too much.
Daphne Guinness
The mistrust of government that blossomed in the late ’60s has become a chronic and in some ways pathological condition.
Kurt Andersen
I was writing fiction in my 20s but in a pretty undisciplined way – late at night, maybe, after I’d peeled myself from the walls of a nightclub and crawled home along the gutters. But I slowly became more serious and more devout in my work, and I fell seriously in love with the short story form.
Kevin Barry
A lot of the critique of our growing mechanization was actually at its strongest, and arguably at its most perceptive, during the late ’60s.
Alan Moore
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
George Eliot
I think that at the start of a game, you’re always playing to win, and then maybe if you’re ahead late in the game, you start playing not to lose. The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.
Tom Brady
Marvin’s Motivational Moments actually started as something that was actually therapeutic for me. I would sit up late at night after my wife passed trying to adjust to being alone.
Marvin Sapp
I got a regret: That I started acting so late. I was 27, and guys who start at 18 or so, there’s this kinda continuity of friendships they form in the profession by startin’ young, I’ve never had that.
Peter Falk
I remember being a kid and sleeping over at my friend’s house and staying up late and watching ‘Nosferatu.’ Vampire movies are supposed to be secret and bad. They should be rated R.
Ethan Hawke
I work hard, I work late, I have nothing on my conscience. When I go to bed, I sleep.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
So, I remember when I was a kid, I was waiting for my mom to come home when she was working late, and, you know, I was like, ‘Oh my God, what happened to her? Is she OK? Did something happen to her getting in the car?’ I was a little kid. But those are actually early onsets of anxiety.
Vinny Guadagnino
The books that I wrote in my late teens and 20s, the little love stories, they were right from the heart.
Ruskin Bond
God bless IVF because it’s never too late to conceive any more. However, having said that, I have to point out that going through IVF is a gruelling procedure; maybe that’s why only a woman can go through it!
Farah Khan
To be honest, I think for part of my late teens my character didn’t really develop very much. I was in a state of cold storage.
Damon Hill
The housing market has bottomed. It’s not too late to get involved.
John Paulson
You can certainly make the case that we’re devolving, that it may already be too late to save the rain forests, let alone the planet.
Marilyn Ferguson
I don’t know how it could be more stark or clear: this entire society is being dominated by corporate power in a way that may exceed what happened in the late nineteenth century, early twentieth century.
Russ Feingold
The seed for my novel ‘Half Brother’ was planted in my mind over twenty years ago, but didn’t germinate until late 2007 when I came across the obituary for Washoe, an extraordinary chimpanzee who had learned over 250 words of American Sign Language.
Kenneth Oppel
It’s never too late – in fiction or in life – to revise.
Nancy Thayer
There’s always been some concern that adult subject matter should be quarantined from a page that attracts children. Unlike late at night, when ‘South Park’ and ‘Colbert’ are on, impressionable minds are wide awake when the newspaper arrives.
Garry Trudeau
That match was late evening and I had the experience of the electricity of the Centre Court because it was packed, a full house for the whole match. It had been a great year for me, first time there and I had the full taste of Wimbledon.
John Newcombe
A lot of late nights in the gym, a lot of early mornings, especially when your friends are going out, you’re going to the gym, those are the sacrifices that you have to make if you want to be an NBA basketball player.
Jason Kidd
I’ve discovered that I’ve never had much respect for money, and that has meant that money has ended up ruling me a little bit more than it should have. So I’m trying to learn – at this late stage in life! – to actually control that.
Rufus Sewell
Whenever I catch a chunk of an Adam Sandler comedy on cable, it looks as badly shot and goofily tossed off as a Jerry Lewis gag reel once he hit the late downslide with ‘Hardly Working’ and ‘Cracking Up.’
James Wolcott
One doesn’t recognize the really important moments in one’s life until it’s too late.
Agatha Christie
Never… never… whether you are five or 100, never give up. It’s never too late.
Bill Duke
I was up late last night yapping about the elections on CNN and up early this morning doing the same thing in my daughter’s kindergarten class.
Tucker Carlson
It wasn’t until late high school and early college that I gained enough size and skill to make me welcome on intramural basketball teams.
Paul D. Boyer
I only went to one Star Trek convention and that was in the late ’80s. I hadn’t gone to a convention before that. It was quite amusing, with the people dressed up and all of that.
Persis Khambatta
Newspaper people, once celebrated as founts of ribald humor and uncouth fun, have of late lost all their gaiety, and small wonder.
Russell Baker
I am invariably late for appointments – sometimes as much as two hours. I’ve tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.
Marilyn Monroe
My late father Rev. James Thomas McGlowan was the inspiration behind ‘Bamboozled.’ My father admired Frederick Douglass’ courage and his bravery in the face of adversity.
Angela McGlowan
Rockefeller once explained the secret of success. ‘Get up early, work late – and strike oil.’
Joey Adams
Despite PAL’s troubles in the late 1990s, we were fortunate to have steered the company to clearer skies.
Lucio Tan
It’s never too late to do the right thing, and America deserves much better than either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton can offer us. I humbly offer myself as a leader who can give millions of disaffected Americans a conservative choice for president.
Evan McMullin
In the mid- to late ’60s to the mid-’70s, when I was a student, there was a major change in the thinking about what art can be and how art is made.
Bill Viola
Life is insanely robust, though we can make species go extinct, and this is the bad thing. So I always make the point that you can’t say, ‘Is it too late?’ That is the terrible question, because either answer promotes inaction. If it’s too late, you don’t need to act; if it’s not too late, you don’t need to act.
Kim Stanley Robinson
Late night is no different than making a film, really, except that it’s faster, and if you do a crap one, you can do a better one tomorrow. Writing a novel and doing stand-up – that stuff is very similar.
Craig Ferguson
I was initially recruited while I was in business school back in the late sixties by the National Security Agency, the nation’s largest and least understood spy organization; but ultimately I worked for private corporations.
John Perkins
Although I managed my schedule to be home by late afternoon most days, basically, Roselle raised our children alone. And so I missed out on a lot of wonderful moments, missed watching my kids grow into the wonderful people they are today.
Perry Como
I shop for clothes when I have time – early in the morning or late at night.
Jessica Seinfeld
I started playing guitar when I was in my late teens, and within two years I was starting to play shows.
Buzz Osborne
Some people say to me, Isn’t it too bad that people discovered you so late? I never thought that.
Imogen Cunningham
My trainer don’t tell me nothing between rounds. I don’t allow him to. I fight the fight. All I want to know is did I win the round. It’s too late for advice.
Muhammad Ali
That’s the story of life – when you start enjoying people, it’s always too late.
Marjane Satrapi
You hear about actors being late and all that sort of stuff, but you never find that with an actor who’s directed, because an actor who’s directed understands all the problems your production is going through.
Clint Eastwood
Are we like late Rome, infatuated with past glories, ruled by a complacent, greedy elite, and hopelessly powerless to respond to changing conditions?
Camille Paglia
In the late ’80s and early ’90s, there was a slightly retro drum sound that was popular in hip-hop music called the 808 bass drum sound. It was the bass drum sound on the 808 drum machine, and it’s very deep and very resonant, and was used as the backbone as a lot of classic hip-hop tracks.
Steve Albini
It’s always been my feeling that God lends you your children until they’re about eighteen years old. If you haven’t made your points with them by then, it’s too late.
Betty Ford
There’s a difference between early and late abortions. If you have a late abortion, where the fetus might feel pain, then I think you should have a good reason. Because then you’re inflicting pain. As you go through the third trimester, you need to have more serious reasons to end a pregnancy.
Peter Singer
My law school class in the late 1950s numbered over 500. That class included less than 10 women.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I like classical music of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and I adore Bach above all.
Gregory Maguire
I became conflicted in my late teens.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I think that is one thing I’ve picked up: follow a routine, be consistent, and everything is going to fall in place. If you are scrambling around, and you are late for stuff, that adds extra stress, and you have to go out there and hit a 97 mph fastball.
Aaron Judge
Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when you’re forced to.
Bill Vaughan
It got to the point in the late 70s and early 80s that I was spending so much money buying golden age comics that I could only justify it if I got work in the media.
Bill Mumy
When a father puts in long hours at work, he’s praised for being dedicated and ambitious. But when a mother stays late at the office, she’s sometimes accused of being selfish, neglecting her kids.
Michelle Obama
The close Turkish-Israeli relations go back to the late 1950s – military intelligence, commercial, more recently, tourism and cultural relations.
Noam Chomsky
I grew up watching and learning from the ultimate partnership, and that is of my father and late uncle.
Jonathan Tisch
When the late Bishop was appointed, about thirty-two years ago, to diffuse the light of the Gospel through this extensive portion of His Majesty’s dominions, it was even a greater spiritual, than a natural wilderness.
John Strachan
Being a late bloomer, I really didn’t have any interest in children until my late 30s, but I’m so happy I didn’t go through life without that experience.
Stacy Keach
When I am working it is up early and coffee and 15 hours of being on the set. When I am not working, it is up late and coffee, golf or softball and hopefully a ball game on the television.
Mackenzie Astin
When I was in my late teens, a couple of friends passed away suddenly. This was quite distressing, but after a while, as tends to happen when one is once or twice removed from grief, I stopped thinking about them all the time.
Ayobami Adebayo
Live news teaches you some incredibly strong lessons: that every day is a new day, and it’s never too late to fix something.
Nancy Dubuc
The Moguls is a story about guys that have all grown up together and are now in their late 40s, early 50s.
Joe Pantoliano
When I started law school I was shocked to learn that our legal system traditionally had the man as the head and master of the family. As late as the ’70s and ’80s when we were fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment, states like Louisiana still had a head and master law.
Patricia Ireland
No one wants to know I set my alarm and get up 8, but I think it’s too weird to sleep in too late.
David Spade
Occasionally I have come across a last patch of snow on top of a mountain in late May or June. There’s something very powerful about finding snow in summer.
Andy Goldsworthy
I used to go salmon fishing with the late Jim Slater, the renowned investor, and he would give me tips. He told me to buy shares in football clubs, so I invested in Manchester United before its shares went through the roof.
Chris Tarrant
I started on ‘Saturday Night Live’ the same time Conan started on Late Night. We just had a relationship because I would be upstairs in the studio and whenever he couldn’t get a guest – which was often back then since he was just starting out – he would just call me down to be a guest.
Norm MacDonald
It’s not too late to develop new friendships or reconnect with people.
Morrie Schwartz
Popular as Keynesian fiscal policy may be, many economists are skeptical that it works. They argue that fine-tuning the economy is a virtually impossible task, and that fiscal-stimulus programs are usually too small, and arrive too late, to make a difference.
James Surowiecki
Fortunately, it’s still not too late to develop a comprehensive global strategy to eliminate our real enemy.
David Hackworth
Late afternoon on the West Coast ends with the sky doing all its brilliant stuff.
Joan Didion
One tends to overlook the fact that all during the 30’s and actually during the late 40’s I was a highly successful writer and a great many properties accumulated during that period of time.
L. Ron Hubbard
I grew up on the crime stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, and noir movies like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I first showed up in New York to write comics back in the late 1970s, I came with a bunch of crime stories but everybody just wanted men in tights.
Frank Miller
My parents got married late and they had kids late, so I never felt a social or cultural thing to be married or pregnant or a homeowner by a certain age.
Anna Kendrick
I wanted to be a writer as a teen… so storytelling was my first love. In my late teens, design became an obsession as I realized that I could express myself through the medium. Much later, when I founded Fuseproject in 1999, our slogan became ‘design brings stories to life.’
Yves Behar
It was cycling that got me off drugs. I’d get on my bike very early in the morning and keep cycling until very late at night, day after day, until it was out of the system.
Shaun Ryder
It’s getting too late in my life to care about the small things. It’s getting too late to not be brave, to not live my life fully, to not try to be an artist. Trivial things like how nice your hotel room is, or if you have to be naked for a while, they fade away.
Helen Hunt
Fiction was invented the day Jonas arrived home and told his wife that he was three days late because he had been swallowed by a whale.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Universal basic income is not a solution in search of a problem – it is the obvious solution that has been in front of us for years. It only requires us to have the vision, empathy and courage to adopt it for the American people before it is too late.
Andrew Yang
My mom kicked me out a couple of weeks before my 18th birthday. I had a job for about six, seven months at a supermarket, and they fired me for being late.
Cardi B
One improvement I have learned from my childhood experience with my father: I do not threaten punishment in the morning. That was awful. Late into the night I would lie awake tossing and wondering what he was going to do to me. Usually he did nothing. A quiet, impressive ‘talking to’ was all I got.
Lincoln Steffens
To her audience, Janis Joplin has remained a symbol, artifact and reminder of late Sixties youth culture. Her popularity never derived from her musical ability, but from her capacity to link her fantasies of freedom and immortality with ours.
Jon Landau
My son was born somewhat late in my life and I just found myself really feeling like I didn’t want to miss out on being a parent and being with him, and not wanting a situation where I was constantly pulled back and forth between being present, and having all these other pressures and considerations.
Karen Allen
I am clumsy, a late and nervous driver, and despise all sports except a little gentle dancing or yoga.
Emma Donoghue
I started the class late. The teacher said I would have to learn as much in half a year that the others learned in a year. I did it.
Katarina Witt
I look back to when I got divorced in the late 1970s. When that happened, I was so broken up. After that, I decided to seek God for my life and my next marriage.
Ricky Skaggs
I wouldn’t do really gratuitous nudity. When I was in my late teens, you’d read stuff and be like, ‘That character serves no purpose except being naked’, so that would not be something I’d want to do. It’s pointless for me.
Ruth Bradley
Late night television is ready for someone like me… standards have gone to an all-time low.
Howard Stern
Novelists don’t age as quickly as philosophers, who often face professional senility in their late twenties.
Martin Amis
My advice to female directors is not to wait until you feel like your ideas have been pre-certified or until you think you’ve gotten some approval for them. Then it’s too late! Follow your gut. That’s hard to do, but the only way to be original.
Abigail Disney
In the late ’70s, I had a band – the David Johansen band, for lack of a better name – and I started collecting, not records, but tapes from people I knew who had jump-blues records.
David Johansen
My first big mission for UNICEF in Ethiopia was just to attract attention, before it was too late, to conditions which threatened the whole country. My role was to inform the world, to make sure that the people of Ethiopia were not forgotten.
Audrey Hepburn
It took me a long time to make that leap to being a grown-up and responsible adult because I carried on being a child actor into my late twenties. It’s OK to be precocious when you’re young, but when you’re a man of about 27 or 28 and playing a 17-year-old in a TV show, it kind of prolongs your childhood.
Dexter Fletcher
Justice is like a train that is nearly always late.
Yevgeny Yevtushenko
I began graduate school in the late 1980s, and my goal was to understand how morality varied across cultures and nations. I did some research comparing moral judgment in India and the U.S.A.
Jonathan Haidt
The Lord discovered to me a sense of my unbelief that, though late, I should remember my transgressions and that I should be converted with my whole heart to the Lord my God.
Saint Patrick
The problem is that a lot of the blues stations are late on Saturday night, and like a lot of people, I ain’t no vampire!
B. B. King
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hurry, conscious younger people! Get to power quickly so political decisions can be based on the greater good for all rather than the greater gain for few. Hurry, before it is too late!
Jane Siberry
Some of the money from the senior players goes to helping out the younger kids. It is from the players’ pool, the fines for being late and so on. Some will go to something like the tsunami appeal and some to helping out young players.
John Terry
It’s really hard to imagine there ever being the kind of impact there was when punk rock happened in the late 70’s. I wish there would be one big change like that again, but I don’t know if that’ll ever happen.
Penelope Spheeris
I discovered Los Angeles in the late ’90s. The city was not at its best at the time, but I fell for it right away. There is something almost haunted about it, a vibrant mythology I find rather inspiring.
Hedi Slimane
From early morning to late at night, it’s such an interesting life, and I’m healthy and free, and that’s not so easy with a family.
Olav Thon
I don’t want you to think that I’m up late reading a stack of Spider-Man comics and eating a tray of lemon cookies while sucking my thumb. I’m not doing that. But I am loyal to the influences of my childhood.
Nicolas Cage
I’ve said for a long time, clearly the – a, a critical key to success in the region is going to be Pakistan and our relationship with Pakistan, which was one that was broken in the late ’80s and which we’ve worked hard to restore.
Michael Mullen
My first thought is to be on set on time. I do not like to be late.
Sourabh Raj Jain
With a disaster like global warming, it’s too late to worry about when it’s looming except to figure out how to adapt to it.
Octavia E. Butler
Justice is like a train that is nearly always late.
Yevgeny Yevtushenko
I love cereal. I eat several bowls a day, mostly a few late at night.
Paul Dano
I never learned to ride a bicycle, and it is too late now. I never learned to drive. I never learned to swim.
Marlene Dumas
Someday perhaps change will occur when times are ready for it instead of always when it is too late. Someday change will be accepted as life itself.
Shirley MacLaine
I was a shy kid, a late bloomer. At 22, I was probably 16 emotionally.
Chris Pine
I was a sort of rock journalist – whatever that is – in London in the late ’60s.
Jonathan Demme
There was this mountain village in Russia where my music was getting in on some German radio station. I remember this because music used to get up to Saskatchewan from Texas. Late at night after the local station closed down.
Joni Mitchell
Whilst we deliberate how to begin a thing, it grows too late to begin it.
Quintilian
I lost my son in late 2011. He had been totally incapacitated from his neck down for the last eight years of his life, but his mind was alive and brilliant in those years. He even wrote a book, ‘Allegheny Mountain,’ lying at home in his hospital bed.
Frances Hesselbein
The government’s view is that the best time to announce bad news, news that it doesn’t want the public to dwell on is late on a Friday, when it will wind up in the Saturday papers, which if you were readers, then the week day editions. A holiday weekend is even better.
Bob Schieffer
I pray that this council, which will probably be too late to save Iraq, will do what it can, which will be immeasurably strong in what it does in trying to save our democracy.
Ed Asner
One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let’s say it this way: I’m really late.
Aaron McGruder
My theory is that I decided to be a writer when I was about seven, but of course it is not as simple as that. Like most writers, I had to work at other things to earn a living and wrote mainly in the evenings, often very late at night, for many years.
Margaret Mahy
Truly saying sorry is never easy to do, and when you are, you just hope it’s not too late.
Justin Tranter
In my late teenage years, I developed a real passion for it, and wrote a lot of poetry.
Danielle Steel
Chet Faker’s a reference to the late Chet Baker. I’m a big fan of his vocal style; it’s quite fragile and soft, and that was a style I wanted to take on.
Chet Faker
Before I became a writer, I was running a jazz bar in the center of Tokyo, which means that I worked in filthy air all the time late into the night. I was very excited when I started making a living out of my writing, and I decided, ‘I will live in nothing but an absolutely healthy way.’
Haruki Murakami
Well, I first started going to Europe in the late ’70s.
Luther Allison
Most of us live in a fog. It’s like life is a movie we arrived to 20 minutes late. You know something important seems to be going on. But we can’t figure out the story. We don’t know what part we’re supposed to play or what the plot is.
John Eldredge
I live in Spain. Oscars are something that are on TV Sunday night. Basically, very late at night. You don’t watch, you just read the news after who won or who lost.
Javier Bardem
So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don’t sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we’ve satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.
Lee Iacocca
I started in high school to be interested in music and from there, I decided to study in college. Yeah, you’re right, I did start late, but luckily, because of my schooling, I picked up a lot of ground pretty quick.
Jon Secada
It is too late; now I wish I could live.
John Buford
I have always believed, heretofore, in the doctrines of the Declaration of Independence, that all men are born free and equal; but of late it appears that some men are born slaves, and I regret that they are not black, so all the world might know them.
Benjamin F. Wade
I struggled with being in the public eye, losing my anonymity when my star rose quickly in the late 90’s. But I need the challenge of showing up and getting up there to spill my guts and connect with my loyal folks.
Paula Cole
I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way – I hope it never will.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
I skipped ‘College Dropout’ and ‘Late Registration’ and went straight to ‘808s & Heartbreak.’
Travis Scott
Of course, in later years, I’d studied acting more than ever before – mostly with the late Stella Adler, who was marvelous! – but in my earlier years, I couldn’t afford to do this.
Marie Windsor
It may be too late for West Virginia to save itself from the ravages of Big Coal. But it’s not too late for America.
Jeff Goodell
Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late; the good lived yesterday.
Marcus Aurelius
I felt I had to share Idaho with my friend from New York because he’d shared New York with me, so I was going to share the beauty of nature with a man who went to museums and clubs late at night. But there was nothing to do where I lived at night.
Mariel Hemingway
They told me that the hotels had maybe two rooms set up for people with disabilities, but if they got there too late, and didn’t get one of these rooms, they couldn’t take a shower. The room wasn’t hooked up for them, or maybe the sink was too high.
Gregory Hines
I grew up reading 19th-century novels and late Victorian children’s books, so I try for a good story full of coincidence and error, landscape and weather. However, the world was radically changed during my lifetime, and I tell of that battering as best I can.
Fanny Howe
July 13, 1954 was the most tragic day of my life. I had lost my beloved Frida forever. To late now I realized that the most wonderful part of my life had been my love for Frida.
Diego Rivera
In the late 30s the name Pollock was totally unknown and unheard of.
Lee Krasner
Every year before a big competition, I get hurt doing stuff I should not be doing. One year it was my little brother’s 12th birthday. We all played hide-and-seek late at night. I climbed up a 30-foot tree, thinking he’d never catch me. I tripped and fell on one of the branches and I hit my head.
Ryan Lochte
‘Late bloomer’ is another way of saying ‘slow learner.’
Ben Fountain
I can design a collection in a day and I always do, cause I’ve always got a load of Italians on my back, moaning that it’s late.
Alexander McQueen
He would use amphetamines to stay awake because he would have late night maneuvers that would go way into the early morning hours and he was given pills to stay up for the long hours.
Priscilla Presley
It’s never too late to reclaim your inner diva and reclaim your inner strength.
Michelle Visage
Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. Murphy’s First Corollary If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you will have a flat tire.
George Edward Woodberry
We started focusing on this in earnest late summer and early fall. I can build more power plants. In the 12 years before us, not a single plant of major consequence was built.
Gray Davis
You’re always better off if you quit smoking; it’s never too late.
Loni Anderson
I could not do what I do, and teach a class, and never miss a deadline, never be late for anything if I was a lush, OK? I would really love to read a piece that said, ‘He is not a lush.’ That would be fabulous, it would be a first, I could show it to people and say, ‘Look!’
Christopher Hitchens
Only very slowly and late have men come to realize that unless freedom is universal it is only extended privilege.
John Edward Christopher Hill
Why do people sit up so late, or, more rarely, get up so early? Not because the day is not long enough, but because they have no time in the day to themselves.
Florence Nightingale
Brain power improves by brain use, just as our bodily strength grows with exercise. And there is no doubt that a large proportion of the female population, from school days to late middle age, now have very complicated lives indeed.
A. N. Wilson
I think that our culture is doing something to women – let’s say women in their late 30s and 40s and probably even 50s, – where they really are expected to keep this insane level of fitness and youth. I find that just a real waste of women’s lives. I really do think that.
Sarah Dunn
Better never than late.
George Bernard Shaw
It may be that religion is dead, and if it is, we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late.
Pearl S. Buck
Rewriting is a large part of the whole job. And get rid of stuff that’s not working. Just pare it down until it’s a beautiful thing you can hand in, probably late, to your editor.
Kurt Loder
Songwriting was always my ‘plan B’. I didn’t even know that songwriting was a job until my late teens!
Keri Hilson
I like to wake up late, around 11 A.M., especially if I have been out the night before. Then I go to brunch with either my friends or my girlfriend. I then like to just chill out: read the papers, read some scripts and then take it very easy. If it’s sunny, I go for a walk with my dog, Niles, in the countryside.
Douglas Booth
I worked in the media from the late 30’s through the early 70’s. Politics in general became more liberal both nationally and within the state as the years passed.
Jesse Helms
I hate when people don’t keep their word or they are late. Tardiness is a big pet peeve of mine.
Tim Hudson
I first became interested in women and religion when I was one of the few women doing graduate work in Religious Studies at Yale University in the late 1960’s.
Carol P. Christ
The idea is to die young as late as possible.
Ashley Montagu
Oh, mercy, I think we’re all storytellers, you know. You think of the excuses you told your parents for why you got home late. I just never gave it up.
Utah Phillips
I started out myself rather late you see, I was 18.
Glenn Tipton
I think Himalayan climbers tend to mature fairly late. I think most of the successful Himalayan climbers have ranged from 28 to just over 40, really.
Edmund Hillary
I don’t think there’s anything more important than making peace before it’s too late. And it almost always falls to the child to try to move toward the parent.
Jane Fonda
We made no inquiries about India or about the families people had left behind. When our ways of thinking had changed, and we wished to know, it was too late. I know nothing of the people on my father’s side; I know only that some of them came from Nepal.
V. S. Naipaul
From the late 1940s, into and through the ’50s, there developed a complex interaction between federal government, state and local government, real-estate interests, commercial interests and court decisions, which had the effect of undermining the mass transit system across the country.
Noam Chomsky
My ambition was to be a record producer, and I had started doing that in the late ’60s with my work with the MC5 and my friend Livingston Taylor.
Jon Landau
New Zealand was such a weird place in the 1980s. For instance, we used to have this commercial in the late 1970s where this guy drives this car and stops outside a corner store. He goes in to buy something, and when he comes out, his car is gone. He’s like, ‘Huh?’ Then a voice says, ‘Don’t leave your keys in the car.’
Taika Waititi
Having contemplated this admirable grove, I proceeded towards the shrubberies on the banks of the river, and though it was now late in December, the aromatic groves appeared in full bloom.
William Bartram
When I broke 20, I said to myself, ‘I will give concerts until I’m approximately 30.’ And I made it a year and a half late, but, nevertheless, that’s what I did. When I broke 30, I said, ‘I think I should be recording until I’m about 50.’
Glenn Gould
Climate change is the environmental challenge of this generation, and it is imperative that we act before it’s too late.
John Delaney
I’m always late for things and always feel like I’m rushing.
Poppy Delevingne
And about in the late ’80s, I got kind of burned out a little bit.
Lee Majors
I had never thought of myself as a dramatist, and, for really good technical results, the thought came too late: a man of letters has become too wordy to write economically for the stage.
Laurence Housman
The committee discloses that even after the U.S. government learned of the diversion of U.S. designs for nuclear warheads in late 1995, the Clinton Administration failed to take steps immediately to improve security.
Charles Bass
I consider the guitar a tool for the most part. I do pick up the acoustic now and then, I certainly don’t have any routine. Usually the only time I practice is when the band gets together. Hendrix has always been one of my favorite players, but I was a sucker for Nugent in the late 1970’s.
Ian MacKaye
These guys are playing checkers. I’m out here playing chess. When they figure it out, it’s too late.
Max Holloway
Courage, my friends; ’tis not too late to build a better world.
Tommy Douglas
I came late to the genre of folk music.
Tom Morello
I’m now in my late 30s, and I’ve been thinking a lot about marriage and family. To be honest, I’ve decided to push aside thoughts of marriage and personal questions for now.
Gong Yoo
I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18, so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first.
Karl Lagerfeld
When I first decided to open a restaurant, I was turned down by several banks. It was the late 80’s and many restaurants were failing. I refused to give up because I knew I had a good concept.
Emeril Lagasse
I’m shocked at how early everything closes here. But people start earlier. I miss the late nightlife in NYC, but then again I sing and burn so much energy in the show that it’s probably good – I get to go home and sleep.
Neil Patrick Harris
The fundamental importance of the subject of molecular diffraction came first to be recognized through the theoretical work of the late Lord Rayleigh on the blue light of the sky, which he showed to be the result of the scattering of sunlight by the gases of the atmosphere.
C. V. Raman
As I grew older and got into the late teens and early 20s, I wanted to be a voice of the people. You know, getting locked up all the time and going through so much oppression and seeing it all around myself, I wanted to be a voice for it.
Rza
If you’re going to do something tonight that you’ll be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep late.
Henny Youngman
That attitude toward women as objects may have worked for the late Sixties, but it doesn’t do so now.
John Schlesinger
Cell phones were more popular in Cambodia and Uganda because they didn’t have phones. We had phones in this country, and we were very late to the table. They’re going to adopt e-books much faster than we do.
Nicholas Negroponte
The fact that a Republican is in the late Senator Kennedy’s old seat probably must have him rolling in his grave, probably spilling his drink.
Ann Coulter
With a lot of those ‘S.N.L.’ shorts, we would do them just as we wanted to do them and then beep out the bad words. Since it was late night T.V., they let us get away with a lot.
Akiva Schaffer
Successive generations of middle-class parents used to foist their own favourite books on their children. But some time in the late Eighties it began to wane – not because children had lost interest in adorable animals but because most of it was available on useful, pacifying video.
Peter York
One always dies too soon or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Starting in my late 20s, I would go on one fishing trip a year to an exotic location. I went to India and caught what was essentially a giant carp. I went to Thailand and got myself arrested as a suspected spy. I went to the Congo and got malaria. But even the bad stuff is material.
Jeremy Wade
The ethics of editorial judgement, however, began to go though a sea change during the late 1970s and ’80s when the Carter and Reagan Administrations de-regulated the television industry.
Roger Mudd
Magic is the oldest part of the show business profession. It can now be used as a forward-thinking tool to build a child’s confidence. It has been an amazing part in many entertainers’ lives, including Steve Martin and the late Johnny Carson.
Criss Angel
Growing up, I remember my parents feeling a little wary of ‘The Simpsons.’ This was the late eighties, and there was a wave of articles about TV shows that were bad for America. Then we all started watching it and loved it.
Mindy Kaling
My late mother moved back to her parents’ homeland in the 1990s when Ukraine and Russia, along with the thirteen other former Soviet republics, became independent states. Drawing on her experience as a lawyer in Canada, she served as executive officer of the Ukrainian Legal Foundation, an NGO she helped to found.
Chrystia Freeland
Wisdom too often never comes, and so one ought not to reject it merely because it comes late.
Felix Frankfurter
So somebody told me that if I wasn’t a coffee drinker yet, by the end of college I’d have to be, because a math major is so tough I would have to stay up very late. I was going to need coffee to do that. Well, merely because they said that, I never drank coffee in college, never got addicted to it, never needed it.
Danica McKellar
All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.
Neil Armstrong
When I started DJing, because everyone called me ‘Snake’ in my city first, I was like, ‘DJ Snake – OK, let’s go for it.’ The name sucks, but it’s too late now.
DJ Snake
I’ll come and make love to you at five o’clock. If I’m late start without me.
Tallulah Bankhead
I would say that Beethoven’s late string quartets are the nearest to God that we’ll ever get.
Sheila Hancock
Young adults in their late 20s are confronted by so many choices – there are so many different paths to choose. Sometimes I think we just fill our lives with stuff so we don’t really make any choice at all, which is certainly incredibly luxurious.
Rachael Taylor
I love painting and music, of course. I don’t know nearly as much about them as I know about poetry. I’ve certainly been influenced by fiction. I was overwhelmed by War and Peace when I read it, and I didn’t read it until I was in my late 20s.
Kenneth Koch
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.
Lord Byron
I just want to show the world it’s never too late to get your diploma, and show kids they should stay in school and not wait until you’re old to get it.
Flavor Flav
When I was younger, I wanted to marry early, like at 23. Year by year, I found things I wanted to do, and the thought of marriage disappeared. But I don’t want to marry too late. Around 31?
Park Shin-hye
I, a late riser, fantasise about getting up every morning at 5 A.M. to fetch the horses in from the fields.
Meg Rosoff
I’ve never been overexposed or in people’s faces, although there are some who argue that in the late ’70s and early ’80s, I was played a lot!
Anne Murray
Never too late to change your relationship with somebody in your life.
Anderson Cooper
Why do they put the Gideon bibles only in the bedrooms, where it’s usually too late?
Christopher Morley
What happened in the late Fifties, early Sixties in French cinema was a fantastic revolution. I was in Italy, but completely in love with the nouvelle vague movement, and directors like Godard, Truffaut, Demy. ‘The Dreamers’ was a total homage to cinema and that love for it.
Bernardo Bertolucci
In the 20 long, hungry years between my late teens and late 30s I bought in to virtually every new diet and/or exercise regime that hoved into view, particularly at this most vulnerable time for those of us prone to poor body image – a new year.
Arabella Weir
I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night.
Marie Corelli
Anything as good and true as that moral cannot be new at this late date.
Richard Harding Davis
Well I directed a few feature length things for HBO in the late eighties.
Harry Shearer
I am, you know, really fighting for myself and my life. And I think the message that I could give to anybody is that it’s never too late to start your life again and dream new dreams.
Jennifer Holliday
I know I’m late, but I’ve finally joined Facebook!
Chelsea Clinton
We also quoted Robert Luskin, Rove’s attorney, acknowledging that Rove did speak to Cooper late on the week prior to the article coming out, which would have been July 10 or 11.
Michael Isikoff
The United States has been a global power since late in the 19th century.
Robert M. Gates
A lot of people say I’ve missed out on a lot because I started acting at such a young age. What’s so obvious to me is that I actually was really lucky. I gained a lot and I got a head start in what I wanted to do in life. A lot of people in their late 20s, early 30s are just beginning to figure out where they want to go.
Matt Dillon
Many of you might already recognize me as the guy in the question-mark suits appearing in the late night TV commercials and on the cover of educational books and CDs.
Matthew Lesko
The youth are very important to me, they’re the next generation, but I want to instill in kids, even in playing, that it’s never too late and there’s no right or wrong way to do anything.
Sheila E.
Voices are a good way to get in and out of things. James Carville constantly calls my wife to say I’ll be home late. Mandy Patinkin and Al Pacino call to get me restaurant reservations.
Bill Hader
I became a dancer late and an actor late.
Mads Mikkelsen
It’s a little bit late in the day for men to object that women are getting outside their proper sphere.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas
I distanced myself, relatively, from my parents for a year or so in my late twenties. It was necessary for me to feel my autonomy. Other than that brief gap, we have always been a very close family.
Jennifer Ehle
When the first fossils began to be found in eastern Africa, in the late 1950s, I thought, what a wonderful marriage this was, biology and anthropology. I was around 16 years old when I made this particular choice of academic pursuit.
Donald Johanson
My job means I work late.
Adam Levine
There’s a lot of people out there who have seen us once somewhere in a pub or heard our songs late night on radio. We’d done four years of it before we’d even released a single. It’s put us in good stead.
Dan Hawkins
I used to say to my late wife, ‘I have great faith in the American people.’
Joe Biden
While there is a great value in things that are old, it seems that the overwhelming challenge in Britain in the late 20th century is to make every effort to see value in the contemporary and in the future.
Stephen Bayley
By the late 1980s, there was the beginning of awareness about a significant global landmine problem, and small steps were being taken to try to deal with the problem.
Jody Williams
When I joined the Army in the late ’70s, there was a real threat from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, so all of the ’80s, I was engaged in what could be classed as conventional operations – that involved digging lots of trenches in Germany.
Dick Strawbridge
Have you ever walked late at night through a forest when you are first in love?
Conrad Veidt
I’m such a late bloomer.
Ang Lee
So if I get these actors for 30% of their price by coming in so late with an offer when they know they are not getting another offer then I do it this way.
Uwe Boll
Love’s like the measles – all the worse when it comes late in life.
Douglas William Jerrold
McDonalds used to be my favorite place to eat, until my metabolism changed in my late 30s. Before that, I would have no hesitation about walking into McDonalds and getting two cheeseburgers and fries and enjoying every last bite.
Andy Cohen
It is not yet too late for the Indian people to decide on rapid, ordered progress. I can assure them that the British people are as determined upon self-government for India as they are themselves.
Stafford Cripps
In my twenties and early thirties, I wrote three novels, but beginning in my late thirties, I wearied of the mechanics of fiction writing, got interested in collage nonfiction, and have been writing literary collage ever since.
David Shields
Whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.
P. T. Barnum
Producing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen, whether it’s like discovering a filmmaker who you’re taking a chance on, protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going, ‘I’m so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle.’
Drew Barrymore
The person who should really write an appreciation of the late great Dom DeLuise is Burt Reynolds, who, even more than Mel Brooks, made of the jolly, beanie wearing fat man a side-kick and a legend.
Rich Cohen
Well, if you look back, in almost two and a half years, the biggest change probably was in late 2000 when we decided to totally change the CA business model.
Sanjay Kumar
To start your life as a character of 120 years when you are in your late thirties, and then go back in time about 20 years later to play the same character who is your own age then, its very complicated, but very interesting.
Ian McDiarmid
It’s a sad indication of where Washington has come, where policy differences almost necessarily become questions of integrity. I came to Washington in the late ’70s, and people had the ability in the past to have intense policy differences but didn’t feel the need to question the other person’s character.
Eric Holder
The only way to get vegetables at a diner late night is to order the omelette. A feta cheese and broccoli omelette.
Lisa Loeb
Memory is very important, the memory of each photo taken, flowing at the same speed as the event. During the work, you have to be sure that you haven’t left any holes, that you’ve captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
One of the finest statesmen of the present time is also a first-class scout, and that is Mr. Roosevelt, the late President of the United States of America.
Robert Baden-Powell
The uproar of the late ’60s – the antiwar movement, black riots, angry women. It was a wonderful time.
Molly Ivins
I’m a bit hesitant to do anything because I’m actually kind of lazy and I’d like an easier life from now on. The world’s a massive place with lots of early mornings and late starts when you’re working.
Robbie Williams
Thank God we’re living in a country where the sky’s the limit, the stores are open late and you can shop in bed thanks to television.
Joan Rivers
Half the time I don’t even think about it, I just throw something on because I’m so late or so busy.
Isaac Mizrahi
I have to have faith that we’re going to succeed in transforming where we get our energy from. The big worry is whether or not we’re going to do it before it’s too late. And I think nobody knows the answer to that.
Josh Fox
My late wife Olympia was Goan and I’ve been to India many times. I love the food there. We used to do our shopping in Southall, where you can find cheap but wonderful fruit like mangoes, vegetables and spices. I didn’t do much of the cooking, as Olympia did a lot – I was the under-chef and did some of the chopping.
Vince Cable
I think Francis at half form is better than anybody else by 50%, you know? I think it’s just that he has never… he has a late pick of the things that are ambitious enough for him.
John Milius
Every woman in her late 20s goes through a period where she just doesn’t believe love is out there anymore, but it is. And I think the minute you stop looking for it is when it comes for you.
Kristen Bell
We are losing our country and the freedoms we have enjoyed. As Bible-believing Christians, we are the ones who must take action before it’s too late.
Franklin Graham
That difficult start drove me on to inspire children and let them know that it is never to late to repair a bad experience at school, and once you get your head down and start to read books, you can really achieve.
Johnny Ball
I mean, it’s been quite busy, especially with the rain delay the first few days, and then having to play the late evenings, waiting here every day. It’s been kind of difficult.
Daniela Hantuchova
I always arrive late at the office, but I make up for it by leaving early.
Charles Lamb
I’m never happier than when I’m not working. The strip is a job – that’s why I take money for it. It’s a job I’m passionate about, but it’s a job I totally leave in the studio when I walk out of here, unless I’m late and I have to work at home. I never think of the strip unless I’m compelled to.
Garry Trudeau
Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late – thoughts both about and not about art.
Gustav Klimt
I adore life but I don’t fear death. I just prefer to die as late as possible.
Georges Simenon
I was a late child from my parents, so I grew up surrounded by people a lot older than me. I think even when I was 21, I felt like I was a 70-year-old man.
Jonathan Franzen
So much of what happened to India late last year and early into 2011 is the same story we’ve seen with other big emerging markets, and that is that investors started to realize that the growth trajectory in India would have to get moderated by tightening policy.
Jerry A. Webman
There is an immeasurable distance between late and too late.
Og Mandino
My work is not my life. I started writing quite late, I didn’t have that ‘writing is everything, my art is all.’ You have to be able to recognise the difference between the two.
Kate Atkinson
Well, he’s just the same guy who in other aspects of his life would be very late to a trend.
Jim Cramer
Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.
William Shakespeare
I’m a Capricorn, and they flower late.
Marianne Faithfull
All through the kind of late ’80s and ’90s, every A&R record company man was saying, ‘Now what we want is another record like ‘Back in the High Life.’ And, of course, that’s not the way to make music at all. That’s the tail wagging the dog.
Steve Winwood
I won’t wait until the end of my term to say I made mistakes at the beginning. That’s too late. I will try to adopt the proper behaviour, if the French give me the chance, right from the start.
Francois Hollande
Most Beethoven symphonies require 80 or more instruments, and the late romantics even more.
Neville Marriner
Musically, swing pretty much dominated in the ’30s. And into the late ’30s, swing is beginning to change over to bebop in the early ’40s, which is exactly when this new science of theoretical physics, particularly theoretical atomic physics, was really coming to the fore.
Chris Eigeman
Hollywood embraced me in the late ’80s because there was a good project I was in and it was different. Nowadays, it’s about corporate mentality, box office, youth.
Marlee Matlin
I mean, the death in the late eighties and early nineties really shook out a lot of hacks. The pond just sort of dried up for a lot of really bad comedians.
Patton Oswalt
I’ve done that I was touring a couple of years ago with R. Kelly and the Lillith Fair, I would do the late night underground gigs as well because it’s always around those times that there was a hot song, either on the radio or in the clubs, it would just be simultaneous.
Deborah Cox
I started when I was 8 years old, which is obviously nowadays pretty late, but I guess in my generation it was all right. I had plenty of other interests and I didn’t do only tennis.
Jana Novotna
I do everything: I’ll have a green juice, then a melted chocolate ice cream. I stay up very late, I get up very early.
Lykke Li
Put you energy into music. If it fails you, you can become an accountant or a dentist. And then if you become a dentist or an accountant, it’s too late to become a musician afterwards.
Peter Tork
The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.
Thomas Hardy
I have always made my own rules, in poetry as in life – though I have tried of late to cooperate more with my family. I do, however, believe that without order or pattern poetry is useless.
Anne Stevenson
Sometimes it takes a little bit longer than you want it to take, but it’s better to catch on late than never.
Jermaine O’Neal
No matter how late it is, when I get home, I take the time to clean and moisturize my face.
Demi Moore
My father was 64 when I was conceived, my mother 38, which was late for babies in the 1940s.
John Major
We had not had time to establish ourselves as a double act before Ernie joined the Merchant Navy. I teamed up with the brother of the late Dave Morris.
Eric Morecambe
Feeling tired should almost never be an excuse, because your body has huge reserves of energy. But if you eat badly, stay out late, drink too much, and so on, you’ll pay a price on the course.
Hale Irwin
It wasn’t until late in life that I discovered how easy it is to say, ‘I don’t know.’
W. Somerset Maugham
One of my grandfathers, actually, having gone out there as a minister, decided he would better serve the people as a doctor. So at a very late age – at the age of 38 in fact – he changed course and decided to become a doctor.
Colin Firth
Gone are the days when you’d have to tune in to a mad illegal radio station late at night to be able to hear the rapper of your choice. That’s all changed now. That’s all gone out of the window. And I feel like I represent that change. I represent the era of iPods and Shuffle and things like that.
Tinie Tempah
I worked hard. I worked late. I went in early. I did everything I could to gain an advantage.
Joe Theismann
As dialect began to be collected in the late 19th century, such words as Yorkshire’s ‘gobslotch’ emerged, revealing the burgeoning association between gluttony and stupidity.
Susie Dent
My dad was a real working musician in the late ’70s and early ’80s. He had a band that was signed to Elektra/Asylum and they would perform at like Madame Wong’s and Whiskey A Go Go all the time.
Weyes Blood
I didn’t learn how to swing a golf club until late in my career. And even though I won all those tournaments, I still struggled with consistency, and I relied on my strengths, which were hitting the ball long and high, and I could chip and putt with the best of ’em.
Tom Watson
It’s never too late to take your heart health seriously and make it a priority.
Jennie Garth
Opinion polls often suffer on account of unexpected developments once the electoral process starts, such as the death of a political leader (as in the case of the late Rajiv Gandhi).
N. Bhaskara Rao
I know about having days off. They can be helpful sometimes, especially late in the year. It’s just key to go out there and establish early, especially in this park where they can put up some crooked numbers early.
Dontrelle Willis
If you wait for customers to tell you that you need to do something, you’re too late. Good business leaders should be half a step ahead of what customers want, i.e. they don’t actually quite know they want it. That’s what innovation’s about. With Plan A, we didn’t wait for the consumers to tell us.
Stuart Rose
It’s never too late – never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.
Jane Fonda
The anxiety I feel when I’m late is nothing like the anxiety I feel when I’m on time.
Sade Adu
Two days after moving we recommended ourselves to God, Our Lord, and fled, hoping that, although it was late in the season and the fruits of the tunas were giving out, by remaining in the field we might still get over a good portion of the land.
Alvar N. C. de Vaca
I kicked college nostalgia in my late 20s. As much as I loved college and treasure the memories, I no longer want to go back.
Josh Radnor
I think if you play music and you join a scene you’re already too late.
Josh Homme
I started very late in the game, and it hasn’t changed my path to success.
Charlotte Flair
In the late Fifties and early Sixties, opposition to state terror and aggression and torture and so on was zero. That was a horrible time: the massive Kennedy terror operation against Cuba, the first attacks on Vietnam in 1962, the imposition of national security states in South America.
Noam Chomsky
I love being single. I can come and go as I please and stay out as late as I want to.
Eric Dickerson
I know there are, like, 12 rules for late night: a desk, a band. Will people take me seriously if I don’t wear a tie?
Jimmy Kimmel
I don’t always have the best eating habits. I like butter and ice cream. There are days when I should work out and I don’t. But it’s never too late to change old habits.
Florence Griffith Joyner
I know that when I grew up I was pretty sheltered, and didn’t come to understand much about the world until I was in my really late teens and early twenties, and that process continues.
Ryan Phillippe
Soccer. I was a late convert. I didn’t get into it until I lived in Amsterdam for a while in my 20s, and now I’m a zealot. It’s the best.
Brendan Hunt
My mom worked late, and I was at home a lot by myself. It was good for my imagination – and bad for it, too.
Sarah Paulson
I’ve been missing Japanese literature so much of late.
Utada Hikaru
Anyway, in the mid 80’s I was spending a fortune buying old Golden Age books from the late 30’s and 40’s and I was making personal appearances at a lot of sci fi and comic book conventions all around the country here so that I could find books for my collection.
Bill Mumy
As my name might suggest, I’m Jewish. My grandparents were Polish and Russian Jews who came to Australia in the late 1920s, and had they not, we wouldn’t be talking now.
Elliot Perlman
I am not one to turn down macaroni and cheese, even late at night. I love Italian food. I love pasta… A refrigerator full of water and Gatorade? Honey, that’s just not gonna happen.
Queen Latifah
Hemingway is terribly limited. His technique is good for short stories, for people who meet once in a bar very late at night, but do not enter into relations. But not for the novel.
W. H. Auden
My mom and pop took me to the Apollo Theater on my thirteenth birthday to see Heavy D and Keith Sweat. It was late at night, up on 125th Street, and it was crazy!
Jadakiss
My school was six miles away from where I lived on the farm. I had to walk and run, there and back every day, through gorges and over rivers. If I was late, there was a very big stick waiting for me.
Haile Gebrselassie
May the soul of the late President Milton Obote… a long-time member of this parliament, rest in peace.
Yoweri Museveni
In the late ’70s I started to search for the perfect sound – whatever that might be, before that I was mainly interested in drugs, insanity and the rock’n’roll lifestyle.
Lou Reed
When I was a teenager in the late 30’s and early 40’s, electronics wasn’t a word. You were interested in radio if you were interested in electronics.
Ken Olsen
I’m single, and I think that by the time I met someone – if I were ever to meet the right person, which I don’t think I will, because I am too fussy – my biological clock means that it will be too late.
Julia Sawalha
For me, its like go ahead and eat. Live your life. I mean, I’ve just seen so much death, you know, as of late, being in my 40s, of people getting sick or, you know, whatever, that I just feel like, you know what? You never know with life. Eat. Enjoy yourself. Just try to be healthy and, you know, and watch it.
Debi Mazar
I try getting in front of as many opportunities as possible, but in the late ’90s, I had no idea that I’d end up being CFO of a technology company. I’d no idea what venture capital was.
Roelof Botha
I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists.
Martin Freeman
When I was a kid growing up in the States in the late ’70s and early ’80s, as soon as ‘Dallas’ came on on a Friday night on CBS at 9 P.M., we stopped everything from that moment on as a family.
John Barrowman
I feel that we are currently living in a world that is similar to late ’50s, early ’60s kind of world.
Ben Gibbard
I missed the boat when I was doing Late Night.
Chris Elliott
Learning to cook at school gave me the confidence to experiment in the kitchen when I left home in my late teens – I wasn’t intimidated by it.
Jack Monroe
On rare occasions, Dad used to reminisce about when he met Eisenhower and how Churchill would pop in, in the late hours of the evening or night, carrying a cigar, when he’d obviously had a good dinner.
Ridley Scott
It was never physically dangerous except when I nearly fell off a horse, but it was physically arduous – especially when you were working late at night.
Derek Jacobi
Mortality means you don’t have forever to work things out. You can live your life unexamined but then on the last day you’re going to think: ‘I’ve left things a little late.’
Mitch Albom
I don’t think it’s too late for ‘The War of the Worlds’ to come true. I’m talking about it from the standpoint that which you need to have and own things – to breed, to think, to create – is going on everywhere, not just on this planet or in the space around it.
Dwight Schultz
I think I went through puberty really late in life or something. I always looked like a little, sad Thai boy up until I was 26.
Ali Wong
One of the places where we lived when I was growing up had this big wood out the back. And starting when I was about 8, I used to enjoy just walking alone through the wood late. Eleven p.m. Midnight. Later.
Christian Bale
And then we watched an amazing number of movies from the late ’60s and ’70s, which is my favorite time, and we studied their camera movements, their stocks, the way they lit stuff, the colors they used.
Ted Demme
Trade a player a year too early rather than a year too late.
Branch Rickey
When lovely woman stoops to folly, and finds too late that men betray, what charm can soothe her melancholy, what art can wash her guilt away?
Oliver Goldsmith
Intellectualism came very late to America. That’s why Americans are so proud of it. I found very few real intellectuals in America. But there are so many pseudo-intellectuals.
Douglas Sirk
It is never too late to regain our credibility around the world.
Marty Meehan
Bounce is a primarily call-and-response style of hip-hop over a ‘Trigger Man’ beat. It’s a New Orleans-created hip-hop style that developed in the late ’80s, early ’90s.
Big Freedia
If you learn late, you pass it on to people so they can learn early. It’s a step process.
Russell Simmons
When I joined Ford, in the late 1970s, I felt strongly we could not forever be a huge user of natural resources without there being consequences. But I was alone in my thinking in those days.
William Clay Ford, Jr.
It wasn’t until the late ’70s that a lot of people knew me.
Sam Donaldson
The idea of an e-book has been around since the late 1970s, when researchers at Xerox PARC got on the case. Their prototype used millions of little magnetic particles, black on one side and white on the other, loosely embedded in the surface of a soft sheet of rubber.
Charles Platt
I was through as a manager. I did become involved late in the 1968 campaign at the national scene at the last minute. But I was through as a manager, and I’ve stayed through, incidentally.
Lew Wasserman
I’m very comfortable with the idea of there being late bloomers, and for me, of course, there’s no difficulty at all in the way that I think of talent and achievement and so on.
Daniel Tammet
I have always admired stylishly confident women who dress with great authority. This lifelong love of elegance began with the humble wardrobe of my late grandmother Mrs. Bennie Frances Davis.
Andre Leon Talley
I’m a late bloomer. I believe 40 is the new 19.
Gabriel Mann
When I read about Gram Parsons’ dream of this Cosmic American Music when I was in my late teens, that stuck with me: that idea, that ambition, to draw off the roots of music but take it somewhere fresh.
Richard Ashcroft
As children, we have vivid imaginations. We stay up late waiting for Santa Claus, dream of becoming president, and have ideas that defy physics. Then something happens. As we grow older, we start editing our imagination.
Brian Chesky
I grew up in the southern United States in a city which at that time during the late ’40’s and early ’50’s was the most segregated city in the country, and in a sense learning how to oppose the status quo was a question of survival.
Angela Davis
In the late spring of 2008, my wealthy entrepreneurial husband, Elon Musk, the father of my five young sons, filed for divorce. Six weeks later, he texted me to say he was engaged to a gorgeous British actress in her early 20s who had moved to Los Angeles to be with him.
Justine Musk
My co-workers expect me to be late and temperamental.
Eva Gabor
In ‘George Lopez’, I played Veronica who’s a bratty 18-year-old, and so I feel like it’s much easier for me to play that because I feel like a late bloomer. It wasn’t difficult or challenging at all because it’s not like I haven’t been a teenager.
Aimee Garcia
You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don’t want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something.
Mitch Hedberg
Feeling I’d scarcely arrived at a style, I now find I’m near the end of it. I’m not quite sure what Late Style means except that it’s some sort of licence, a permit for ageing practitioners to kick their heels up.
Alan Bennett
If employees need to stay late in order to curry favor with the boss, what motivation do they have to get work done during normal business hours? After all, they can put in the requisite ‘face time’ whether they are surfing the Internet or analyzing customer data.
Robert Pozen
I am always late because people stop me for autographs and say hi.
Natalie du Toit
My mother had an illegal abortion in 1960, which was the year the birth control pill came out, but I guess a little late for her, but – and I never knew. I found out when my father, after her death, got her FBI file.
Katha Pollitt
Like most actors, I’ve always been grateful for Chinese restaurants; they were often the only places that stayed open late enough for performers to get hot food after the show.
Ginger Rogers
When he is late for dinner and I know he must be either having an affair or lying dead in the street, I always hope he’s dead.
Judith Viorst
The great and unlooked for discoveries that have taken place of late years have all concurred to lead many men into the opinion that we were touching on a period big with the most important changes.
Thomas Malthus
I guess I was a mom so late in life, my daughter was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Candice Bergen
Writers may be disreputable, incorrigible, early to decay or late to bloom but they dare to go it alone.
John Updike
I learned English kind of late. I remember when I got my first opportunity to work in America, I didn’t speak a lot of English, so I only really knew my lines for the movie I was doing.
Penelope Cruz
My parents were just constantly affirming me in everything that I did. Late at night, I’d wake up and hear my mother talking over my bed, saying, ‘You’re going to do great on this test. You can do anything you want.’
Stephen Covey
For the Gulf States, perhaps no forage crop of which the available seed supply is relatively abundant exceeds the velvet bean in potential value. This legume possesses also the ability to make a crop when planted relatively late.
David F. Houston
The world is too much with us; late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours.
William Wordsworth
Being a fan of authentic Dada, I find today’s art – what I call ‘Bankers’ Dada’ – mind-numbingly dull. The most challenging work I’ve seen of late is by The British Art Resistance. Their document, ‘A Call for Heroes in an Age of Cowards’, is apt in these days of witless chancers.
Billy Childish
Artistic self-indulgence is the mark of an amateur. The temptation to make scenes, to appear late, to call in sick, not to meet deadlines, not to be organized, is at heart a sign of your own insecurity and at worst the sign of an amateur.
Harold Prince
I don’t think I was all that late in becoming a father.
Brad Pitt
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.
Steven Wright
If Sunday is the Lord’s day, then Saturday belongs to the Devil. It is the only night of the week when he gives out Free passes to the Late show at the Too Much Fun Club.
Hunter S. Thompson
And Barry Levinson is insanely funny. I don’t know if you know this, not everyone does, but he and Craig T. Nelson were a comedy team back in the coffeehouse days of the late ’60s.
Kevin Pollak
The Naxalite revolution – an ultra-left Maoist movement – in Bengal, and elsewhere in India, in the late 1960s provides one strand of ‘The Lives of Others.’
Neel Mukherjee
I first got to know Charles in the late seventies when I wrote an article and then a book about him and I think at the time he came across as quite appealing, it was probably the height of his popularity.
Anthony Holden
Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.
Epicurus
Better late than never.
Matthew Henry
If I’m just at the White House, I have meetings in my office, I sign letters, I plan different things. Late in the afternoon, I’ll quit working and wait for my husband to get home.
Laura Bush
I’ve always romanticized the late ’40s and ’50s – the cars, jazz, the open roads and lack of pollution. Now there are more vehicles, less hitchhikers, more billboards and power lines and stuff. People wrote wonderful long letters that took months to receive, and now everything is email.
Garrett Hedlund
When I went to San Francisco in that cold late spring of 1967, I did not even know what I wanted to find out, and so I just stayed around a while and made a few friends.
Joan Didion
As an indigenous leader from Bolivia, I know what exclusion looks like. Before 1952, my people were not allowed to even enter the main squares of Bolivia’s cities, and there were almost no indigenous politicians in government until the late 1990s.
Evo Morales
The late 20th century had just enough communication abilities to allow superstar-ness and communality to happen. It was a musical renaissance that rivals the visual one that happened in the 1400s.
Daryl Hall
I am doing my best to find it. I will find it before the public finds it. I will get out of it before it’s too late. The reason I will do that is because that’s what I’m paid to do.
Jim Cramer
The extraordinary exertions of the colonies, in cooperation with British measures, against the French, in the late war, were acknowledged by the British parliament to be more than adequate to their ability.
Mercy Otis Warren
‘Show up at the desk’ is one of the first rules of writing, but for ‘Wolf Hall’ I was about 30 years late.
Hilary Mantel
To my mind and ear, there is simply nothing that compares to the musical sophistication of a late Beethoven, Bartok, Schubert or Brahms work for minimal forces.
Leonard Slatkin
What I learned, a little too late, was that the ‘traditional’ Martin Short target viewer weighs under 300 pounds. Unfortunately, I was on during daytime.
Martin Short
He that rises late must trot all day.
Benjamin Franklin
I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them.
E. V. Lucas
Is an out-of-control life challenge making you feel ‘out of control’ over your entire life? If so, stop lying around doing nothing. Stop sleeping late. Stop watching too much TV. Start recognizing that this lack of a disciplined schedule will only increase your feelings of being out of control of your life.
Karen Salmansohn
Everything has been said, and we are more than seven thousand years of human thought too late.
Jean de la Bruyere
The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late.
Ogden Nash
It is hard to imagine the World Series being held in the sweet hazy sunshine of late September rather than the sour night air of late October, but that is precisely what has transpired in baseball over the past 50 years, a deterioration from light to darkness.
George Vecsey
The vast majority of writers out there, they finish their books, and no one cares whether their book is late or ever comes out at all. And then it comes out, and two reviews are published, and it sells 12 copies.
George R. R. Martin
I will not give up to sing until the people say it’s enough. I hope it will be very late.
Julio Iglesias
It will, of course, be understood that directly or indirectly, soon or late, every advance in the sciences of human nature will contribute to our success in controlling human nature and changing it to the advantage of the common weal.
Edward Thorndike
I am honorary President of the American Humanist Society, having succeeded the late, great science fiction writer Isaac Asimov in that utterly functionless capacity. We Humanists behave as well as we can, without any rewards or punishments in an Afterlife.
Kurt Vonnegut
How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?
Dr. Seuss
Usually older players, late in the season, start to get cold.
Bill Parcells
And that format was – we’d been using that format, I guess, since the late ’70s, and it was starting to get very predictable. In other words, certain songs would surface in the same points in the set every so often; it was like rotation.
Phil Lesh
To whom it may concern: It is springtime. It is late afternoon.
Kurt Vonnegut
If we’re talking fantasy, I would love to host a late night talk show… More Fallon than Leno. Those guys always seem like they’re having way too much fun at their ‘jobs.’
Aaron Sanchez
My poor kids have accepted that being dropped off late to birthday parties, practices, and yes, school, is just part of the large family package.
Rachel Campos-Duffy
It wasn’t until my late teens that I really got into soul music and then I was like ‘Ooh, this is good!’ You’d always here it at old family parties, like, Gladys Knight and I’d always love it but I didn’t really get to know it and respect it until I was a bit older.
Rebecca Ferguson
I came to water late. I learned to swim at the age of 20.
Liam Neeson
If I’m making everyone wait, which happens… at least charm it on a bit. Go, ‘Oh I’m so sorry I’m late.’ Make up something.
Guy Sebastian
The good of other times let people state; I think it lucky I was born so late.
Ovid
There were many influences on me while growing up. In the late Seventies and early Eighties when I was growing up in Hyderabad, it was a bit more laid-back, and that gave you time to think about things differently without perhaps being caught up in the narrow approach to one’s journey through life.
Satya Nadella
What makes ‘The Marriage of Souls’ such a wonderful book is Collins’s intricate reconstruction of the late eighteenth-century world. Simplicity and philosophy are the hallmarks of eighteenth-century art and architecture. The classically pure lines look deceptively simple and unburdened by heavy symbolism or imagery.
Amanda Foreman
Follow your passion. The rest will attend to itself. If I can do it, anybody can do it. It’s possible. And it’s your turn. So go for it. It’s never too late to become what you always wanted to be in the first place.
J. Michael Straczynski
Life changes when you have a child, when you have your own family. You become more careful about what you do. You’re not going to be out late, going out to clubs, hanging out with your friends. You’re going to be at home, taking care of your daughter, playing with her.
Paul Pierce
Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.
Alexander Graham Bell
I’m always a bit late, but I don’t mind that, because it means that whoever I’m meeting is already there.
Sarah Millican
The option of solicitor advocacy came on the scene a bit too late for me.
Len G. Murray
I did meet ‘The Everly Brothers’ once, and we talked for awhile. Then we figured out we were first cousins! My late mother was the sister of Don and Phil’s father, Ike Everly.
James Best
Young feminists have been sold a bill of goods about American feminism. The enormous changes in women over the past 40 years are constantly and falsely attributed to the organized women’s movement of the late 1960s and ’70s.
Camille Paglia
I can remember in the late 1980s and early 1990s how many men with AIDS I saw everywhere in Key West. There were hospices and medical supply stores geared to people with AIDS. It seemed that every sick man who could afford it had headed for the warmth and the tranquillity and the gay-friendliness of the island.
Edmund White
I would rather stop too soon than too late.
Luc Besson
In the late ’70s, maybe just before I started, there was still an attitude that if you did film you didn’t do TV and vice versa, but that’s gone now.
Robert Carlyle
I started changing my swing in late 1999.
Tiger Woods
Every fight day, I just stay in my room the entire day, and I just stay in bed. I sleep as late as I can, which usually isn’t very late; I’m kind of an early riser. But I try to just stay there in bed. I don’t usually eat the day of the fight. I don’t eat until after the fight.
Chael Sonnen
Country and western is the music of the devil. That’s the real truth of the matter. My late Mother, bless her, loved country and western. God, I couldn’t handle it.
Rick Wakeman
My goal was to become the best dancer in the world and, because I started late, I always had this feeling I was playing catch-up, so I’ve been a bit of a maniac most of my life, sort of striving.
Anton du Beke
I didn’t go abroad until quite late. A friend drove us to Amalfi, Italy, for his sister’s wedding when I was a teenager. It was exciting driving through Europe.
David Harewood
Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
I set the time on my iPhone to be 30 minutes late, so I’m only an hour and a half late to appointments now.
Bill Hader
The United States government first learned of the diversion of the W-88 nuclear warhead design in late 1995.
Charles Bass
When I was young in L.A. and I couldn’t get into clubs or restaurants, I would call imitating celebrities and get a table, and it would work often. I was either Stallone or Mickey Rourke: ‘This is Sly. I may be late, but my buddy Hank will be there early.’
Hank Azaria
I get up really early, and I go to bed really late. Sometimes I get tired, but it’s not important. I have an exciting existence, and there’s so much to do.
Martha Stewart
I don’t feel I fit in with morning television because I’m like a vampire and I like to stay up late.
Paloma Faith
This flattery has been rather slow in coming. I think all of sudden late in life now I’m getting some credit for what I’ve done. Which is gratifying, but it’s kind of a little late.
Jack Vance
I was one of the more talented ones at the design firm I joined, so I conducted my work pretty shrewdly. Except I wasn’t a morning person, so I was quite frequently late for work. On top of that, it was a fairly big company, they were fussy about the dress code, and I got chewed out quite often.
Akira Toriyama
I’m definitely nostalgic about the music of my youth; The Clash and Fishbone and that whole music scene. I still have all that music to this day. There was some great music going on in the late 70s and 80s.
John Cusack
There was living in the palace at this time a brother of the great Germanicus, and consequently an uncle of the late emperor, whose name was Claudius Caesar.
Frederic William Farrar
By the late Nineties, we had become a more visual nation. Big-money taste moved to global standards – new architecture, design and show-off contemporary art. The Sloane domestic aesthetic – symmetry, class symbolism and brown furniture – became as unfashionable as it had been hot in the early Eighties.
Peter York
I tweet early in the morning when I wake up or late at night just to let you know that I have a show or what’s on my mind, and that’s it. I hate Snapchat and all of that. It’s making kids so stupid.
Tyler, The Creator
Now, when you get a viral infection, what normally happens is it takes days or weeks for your body to fight back at full strength, and that might be too late. When you’re pre-immunized, what happens is you have forces in your body pre-trained to recognize and defeat specific foes. So that’s really how vaccines work.
Seth Berkley
I started playing basketball so late, it just means that anything is possible.
Joel Embiid
I would like to work with Jack Nicholson, before it’s too late.
Judi Dench
That liberty is a great thing we may know from our own feelings, and we may likewise judge so from the conduct of the white-people, in the late war.
Jupiter Hammon
I was definitely a late bloomer.
Clay Matthews III
The pressures to get the story first, if wrong, are greater sometimes than the pressures to get the story right, if late.
Alastair Campbell
One of the most exciting things about supporting West Bromwich Albion was watching Johnny Giles play in the late ’70s.
Frank Skinner
We’ve got to step up our conservation efforts before it’s too late. We’re not protecting our lands and natural resources. Take the Grand Canyon for example; I’m sure that at one time it was a beautiful piece of land, and just look at the way we’ve let it go.
Pat Paulsen
It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.
Berkeley Breathed
It is never too late to get into tennis! While I started playing at the age of 8 when my parents gave me a tennis racquet for Christmas, tennis is a lifelong sport that can be enjoyed by people of almost any age. It’s also something you never forget once you learn.
Samantha Stosur
In the late ’60s, there were the the three B’s: The Beatles, Batman, and Bond.
Adam West
On time is 10 minutes late.
Anthony Hitt
There was only one decline in church attendance, and that was in the late 1960s when the Vatican said it was not a sin to miss Mass. They said Catholics could act like Protestants, and so they did.
Rodney Stark
If you see a bandwagon, it’s too late.
James Goldsmith
I love a lot of the New York bands, but Patti Smith stands out. I just read ‘Just Kids’ and it’s an inspirational, well-written account of an emerging New York artist in the late seventies.
James Iha
I had a mystical experience when I was in my late teens, early 20s, and I spent years trying to recapture that.
John Lurie
I do a show. It comes on late at night on TV. And if that means I’m a late-night talk show host, then I guess I am, but in every other regard I resign my commission, I don’t care for it.
Craig Ferguson
It gets late early out there.
Yogi Berra
The political currents that topped the global agenda in the late 20th century – revolutionary nationalism, feminism and ethnic struggle – place culture at their heart.
Terry Eagleton
I go to bed late. My mind starts going at night – that’s when those creative juices begin flowing.
Donny Osmond
A man doesn’t know what happiness is until he’s married. By then, it’s too late.
Frank Sinatra
I took a bit of a back seat, I had kids and I wanted to focus on them. There’s that period in the late ’90s, the early 2000s, where I didn’t do a great deal.
Gary Oldman
My mother started out by being a very good girl. She did everything that was expected of her, and it cost her dearly. Late in her life, she was furious that she had not followed her own heart; she thought that it had ruined her life, and I think she was right.
Ruth Reichl
Galleries began growing in both number and size in the late seventies, when artists who worked in lofts wanted to exhibit their work in spaces similar to the ones the art was made in.
Jerry Saltz
When I was I younger I didn’t want to be gay. Not because I was scared of the sexual thing; I didn’t want to be a clone. Now this was in the late ’70s.
Neil Tennant
There are certain things that don’t mix well with MS. One is staying up late at night. Another is big, noisy crowds. Well, campaigns are staying up late at night and big noisy crowds.
Ann Romney
Musicians can run this state better than politicians. We won’t get a lot done in the mornings, but we’ll work late and be honest.
Kinky Friedman
I had acne late, in college. My skin used to be really flawless. Went to college, became a vegetarian, ate a lot of cheese – big mistake. Here I am trying to be healthy and I’m eating grilled cheese sandwiches and french fries every day, having mad eruptions all over my face.
Wesley Snipes
I really got into the cricket and staying up late watching the World Cup.
Jeremy London
Being as versatile as I am, I take offense to the notion that no serious musician would not be doing a late night talk show gig. One has to be open enough in other areas to be able to contribute to a show like this.
Kevin Eubanks
I’d been to Memphis before, but we stayed out of Memphis early on in the late 70s for obvious reasons. People were very sensitive about Elvis Presley, and my stage name obviously would be provocative to some people in that area at that time.
Elvis Costello
The late sixties and early seventies were kind of a breeding ground for exciting new sounds because easy listening and folk were kind of taking over the airwaves. I think it was a natural next step to take that blissful, easy-going sound and strangle the life out of it.
Alice Cooper
Washington is a place where people have always been suspect of style and overt sexuality. Too much preening signals that you’re not up late studying cap-and-trade agreements.
Maureen Dowd
My kids are in school and in all these clubs – chess club, fashion club, you name it. When my dad came home from work, it was late, and when he left, it was early in the morning. On my days off, I’m still taking my kids to school and picking them up. I do what I have to do to keep that relationship.
Omar Dorsey
All the action, in semiconductors at the present time is in the new consumer applications, and that’s where we have focused our activities since we started doing our own products in the late ’90s.
David Milne
My first job is to write a book that I believe is compelling and deserves the long sustained attention that any novel requires, and to worry about the commerce only late in the game.
Joshua Ferris
And, well of course, Count Basie, and I think all of the black bands of the late thirties and early forties, bands with real players. They had an influence on everybody, not just drummers.
Buddy Rich
I can be out very, very late at night because I don’t require that much sleep.
Julia Fox
Once colon cancer becomes symptomatic, nine times out of ten it is too late.
Kevin Richardson
It is never too late to correct our mistakes. And if we do not, we risk repeating them.
Lisa Madigan
For me, the best places to write are on planes, trains and at airports. Not hotel rooms but hotel lobbies. I’m really happy when I’m waiting for a plane and the message comes that it’s three hours late. Great, I’ll get to write!
Jo Nesbo
I told her it was a bigger than life musical, that all the actors were going to be about the same age, late twenties into thirties. It would be a style; a kind of surreal high school.
Randal Kleiser
As a preacher of the Gospel, our late venerable Bishop must have been heard, to form an adequate conception of his superior excellence and commanding eloquence.
John Strachan
I love to sleep late, and I rarely have the chance to.
Izabel Goulart
Even though this is late in an election year, there is no way we can go forward except together and no way anybody can win except by serving the people’s urgent needs. We cannot stand still or slip backwards. We must go forward now together.
Gerald R. Ford
For all the marathons I’ve run, including the Ironmans that I’ve run, immediately after the race, I clean myself up, do whatever I need to do to make sure I’m okay, and I get right back out there, and I cheer people on. Because it’s the people who come in late in the race I find most inspiring.
Casey Neistat
If a girl looks swell when she meets you, who gives a damn if she’s late? Nobody.
J. D. Salinger
When I started in the late nineties, it was all about young Hollywood. There were jobs for all of us if you were 18 to 21, were slightly good looking, or could be funny.
Chris Klein
I feel like I came to acting late in a way.
David Duchovny
Banking is a very treacherous business because you don’t realize it is risky until it is too late. It is like calm waters that deliver huge storms.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I probably will not live to see Turkey become an exemplary democracy, but I pray that the downward authoritarian drift can be stopped before it is too late.
Fethullah Gulen
It’s an unfortunate situation. After such a great play I felt like I got hit late, no flag, broke my hand. That’s it. That’s pretty much been the story for the past three weeks, and obviously at some point something catastrophic was going to happen, and I broke my hand.
Michael Vick
I arrived in the Premier League late at 29 years old – you still have to live 50 years after football. You do your best for yourself and your family. You’ve got to fight for what you believe.
Jose Fonte
If there is one thing that the women and men of the late 20th century who have an awareness and enjoyment of history can be sure of, it is that Islam was not sent from Heaven to foster egotism and mediocrity.
Fatema Mernissi
