I think 2012 is the year when consumers all around the world start saying no to feature phones and start saying yes to smartphones.
- Marc Andreessen
After saying yes to Turkey, the EU is having difficulty finding clear and consistent grounds for saying no to other, still more remote candidates - but being in the general vicinity of Europe does seem to be a continuing requirement.
- Timothy Garton Ash
What is a rebel? Someone who says no. But saying no does not mean giving up: it also means saying yes, with every gesture.
- Albert Camus
Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.
- Josh Billings
The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.
- Tony Blair
You know those times when an opportunity comes up and you hear yourself in some voice you hardly recognize saying yes? Like some imposter had invaded your throat, thumped on your vocal chords, and made a decision for you before you even have had a chance to think it through?
- Rebecca Bloom
Fancy the happiness of Pinocchio on finding himself free! Without saying yes or no, he fled from the city and set out on the road that was to take him back to the house of the lovely Fairy.
- Carlo Collodi
I want to die in my own way. It's my illness, my death, my choice. This is what saying yes means.
- Jenny Downham
May we all soon go about as our real selves and take joy in it, saying, yes, yes, to whatever we are.
- Carol Emshwiller
It's one thing to have a divinely inspired love given to you to experience and share; it's something else altogether to recognize it when it appears. Our job is to go on being humbled and grateful that we should get to experience such a thing in our lifetimes, and preserve its magic by doing the most responsible thing possible to keep it alive...
Just keep saying yes.
- Mark Fiore
At this stage in my career, I don't have to take any big risks. You want to take a calculated risk, not one that leads to people saying 'yes, but there was that one time when she made that big mistake.' It's always a shame when that happens, especially if you've gotten by for decades without anything hugely tragic.
- Renee Fleming
Suddenly, the gods have stopped saying yes and have started making really obnoxious farting noises. In my face. With their armpits.
- Jody Gehrman
But no one ever explains how it's the little choices that send your life careening in another direction, like deciding to send a poem in the mail or saying yest to a walk on a moonless night.
- Julie Gittus
Travelling to different countries is a goal. I wouldn't mind playing huge places if we got an opportunity to, but it's nice to play small places too. Fish was saying yesterday that he doesn't ever want to play stadiums, or maybe he would once, he said.
- Mike Gordon
For a second I thought about saying, Yes, please, let's catch the next ferry out of this freak show.
- Rachel Hawkins
I am proud of the President's leadership. I am proud to support him in saying: Yes, we are going to do what is necessary now when it is less painful and less expensive.
- Kay Bailey Hutchison
To sustain love, a man and a woman must continually be marrying and divorcing, moving with, against, away from, and beyond each other, saying 'yes' and 'no'.
- Sam Keen
The very nature of marriage means saying yes before you know what it will cost. Though you may say the "I do" of the wedding ritual in all sincerity, it is the testing of that vow over time that makes you married.
- Kathleen Norris
No, I tell you what I like is having the play close after a decent run and looking back on it and saying, yes, I did that, and wasn't it wonderful? Because while you're doing it, it is really tough. It is so hard.
- Mary Tyler Moore
Verne's all about what you can do versus what you can't do. He just kept saying yes and his part kept growing. I would love to work with him in every movie.
- Mike Myers
Would age now swiftly overtake him? Would this terrible nodding last now for all his days, so that men said aloud in his presence, it is nothing, he is old and does nothing but forget? And would he nod as though he too were saying, Yes, it is nothing, I am old and do nothing but forget? But who would know that he said, I do nothing but remember?
- Alan Paton
I hadn't even watched '24' before, and the audition was kind of far away. When I got the material, there wasn't a character yet, so it almost seemed like an assistant to Jack Bauer saying, 'Yes, sir. No, sir.'
- Mary Lynn Rajskub
Saying No Is Actually Saying Yes To Other Things
- Patrick Rhone
A faith that can only exist in the light of victory and certainty is one which really affirms the self while pretending to affirm Christ, for it only follows Jesus in the belief that Jesus has conquered death. Yet a faith that can look at the horror of the cross and still say 'yes' is one that says 'no' to the self in saying 'yes' to Christ.
- Peter Rollins
In the antiseptic world we try to purge ourselves of difficult things. Don't dwell on it, switch off the light and go home. But this is home. I have to be a home to myself. I am the place I come back to and I can't keep hiding difficult things in trunks. Soon the house will be full of trunks and I perched on top with the phone saying 'Yes, I'm fine, of course, I'm fine, everything's fine.' The trunks shudder
- Jeanette Winterson
I was saying yes because when you're in love, the world is full of possibilities, and when you're in love, you want to take every single one of them.
- Danny Wallace
The fact is saying yes hadn't been a pointless exercise at all. It had been pointful. It had the power to change lives and set people free... It had the power of adventure. Sometimes the little opportunities that fly at us each day can have the biggest impact.
- Danny Wallace
It was immediately apparent that it was full of tricky ingredients to balance. In fact, I found it very intriguing. What held me back from saying yes to the producer was that I wasn't sure who could play Truman.
- Peter Weir
As an adult (after college) and as an artist I thought about what was real, what sustained me - it was Christian Science. I was using that when I didn't know it. Saying yes to the Light and your better instinct.
- Alfre Woodard
...you found you were saying yes when you meant no, and "We've got to be together in this thing" when you meant the very opposite... and then you were face to face, in total darkness, with the knowledge that you didn't know who you were. And how could anyone else be blamed for that?
