And he's just plain odd. And what is your problem that you keep putting yourself in my way? (Geary) She's feisty, Skotos. I can see the appeal. (ZT) - Sherrilyn Kenyon What is your problem?" I asked, scooping the freezing mess out of my cleavage. "We got unfinished business," he reminded me. "My name's not Bill." He chuckled. "Yeah, I loved that movie. Shoulda brought a katana, but it seemed like an unfair advantage. - Karen Chance If you stumble over mere believability, what are you living for? Love is hard to believe, ask any lover. Life is hard to believe, ask any scientist. God is hard to believe, ask any believer. What is your problem with hard to believe? Reason is excellent for getting food, clothing and shelter. Reason is the very best tool kit. Nothing beats reason for keeping tigers away. But be excessively reasonable and you risk throwing out the universe with the bathwater - Yann Martel Don't you bully me with your politene...

The problem with leaderless uprisings taking over is that you don't always know what you get at the other end. If you are not careful you could replace a bad government with one much worse! - Chinua Achebe The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story. - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie The problem with marriage - or may be its strength - was that it spanned a distance, and you were never the same person you started out being. If you were lucky, you could still recognize each other years later. - Jodi Picoult The problem with you is that you always see a glass of milk half empty instead of half filled. - Jodi Picoult This is the kind of detail that is forbidden in literature; in a book, no one would dare combine a full moon with Frank Sinatra. The problem with fiction is that it must seem credible, while reality seldom is. - Isabel Allende The problem with pro...

Government can't solve the problem. Government IS the problem. - Ronald Reagan In my opinion, a master is morally obliged to seize every sort of opportunity and to try to solve the problems of the position without fear of some simplifications. - Alexander Alekhine All sciences are now under the obligation to prepare the ground for the future task of the philosopher, which is to solve the problem of value, to determine the true hierarchy of values. - Friedrich Nietzsche And I've come to the place where I believe that there's no way to solve these problems, these issues - there's nothing that we can do that will solve the problems that we have and keep the peace, unless we solve it through God, unless we solve it in being our highest self. And that's a pretty tall order. - Glenn Beck Actually, I think I come at things a whole different way from most people, and, you know, sometimes political answers are one way to solve the problem, and sometimes there are better...

Whatever creativity is, it is in part a solution to a problem. - Brian Aldiss Cities are never random. No matter how chaotic they might seem, everything about them grows out of a need to solve a problem. In fact, a city is nothing more than a solution to a problem, that in turn creates more problems that need more solutions, until towers rise, roads widen, bridges are built, and millions of people are caught up in a mad race to feed the problem-solving, problem-creating frenzy. - Neal Shusterman The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem. - Milton Friedman Violence and cruelty were just a stupid person's way of making himself felt, because it was easier to use your hands to strike a blow then to use your brain to find a logical and just solution to a problem. - Anne Holm In my books, I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it, it's at the extreme end of their experience. - ...

The U.N. is one of many competitors in a marketplace of global problem solving. - John Bolton We may have a perfectly adequate way of doing something, but that does not mean there cannot be a better way. So we set out to find an alternative way. This is the basis of any improvement that is not fault correction or problem solving. - Edward De Bono Problem solving, and I don't mean algebra, seems to be my life's work. Maybe it's everyone's life's work. - Beverly Cleary As much as we may want to withdraw into a world of pure problem solving, we have to acknowledge that the most successful architectures are the ones you can actually convince someone to implement. - Jesse James Garrett Problem solving is hunting. It is savage pleasure and we are born to it. - Thomas Harris When you're trying to solve a problem on a new product type, you become completely focused on problems that seem a number of steps removed from the main product. That problem solving can appe...

I'm not a professional politician, I'm a problem solver. - Carly Fiorina Instead of putting a Band Aid on your cut finger, why not just amputate at the elbow? See, I'm a problem solver. I should go into politics. - Jarod Kintz Rose is undistractable, indefatigable, a problem solver. Work is her essence, her animating spirit, and the core of her impact on me. Her dedication to it helps make my life possible, connects the two of us in this powerful way. - Jon Katz I would have been completely brainwashed by this lopsided and racist view of the world if it weren't for my father. He was a deep thinker and an irrepressible problem solver. He was a Black Socrates, asking why and then spoiling ready-made replies. - Walter Mosley Having a Congress with a more diverse educational and professional background would serve the country well. And given the budget challenges facing America today, we might benefit from a few more cold, calculating problem solvers, and fewer courtro...

So?" Bob said. "Hat up, go kill her. Problem solved." "Bob," I said. "You can't just go around killing people." "I know. That's why you should do it." "No, no. I can't go around killing people, either. - Jim Butcher That's what they do in Europe. You go down to the city hall and you become legally connected. You have a civil union there.

That gets the problem solved. - Tony Campolo From the people who brought you "zero tolerance," I present the Gun-Free Zone! Yippee! Problem solved! Bam! Bam! Everybody down! Hey, how did that deranged loner get a gun into this Gun-Free Zone? - Ann Coulter You still don't like the idea of gay marriage? Then, as my friend the economist Julianne Malveaux says: Don't marry a gay person. Case closed, problem solved. - Barbara Ehrenreich It is said that you can't write without ...

People often ask, "What is the single most important environmental population problem facing the world today?" A flip answer would be, "The single most important problem is our misguided focus on identifying the single most important problem! - Jared Diamond It's obvious that the key problem facing humanity in the coming century is how to bring a better quality of life - for 8 billion or more people - without wrecking the environment entirely in the attempt. - E O Wilson Deficits. Most people of knowledge say it's the biggest single problem facing the economic free world. - David Hartman The principal problem facing our economy today is jobs. - Jim Sensenbrenner

He gestured at the girl I'd been dealing with, whose carefree smile could be roughly translated as: 'He's officially not my problem anymore.' I gave her a wink whose exact translation was: 'Don't be so sure, darling. - Jennifer Egan Everything was coming together by coming apart... It is the most difficult Zen practice to leave people to their destiny, even though it's painful - just loving them, and breathing with them, and distracting them in a sweet way, and laughing with them... if something was not my problem, I probably did not have the solution. - Anne Lamott I had enough to wrestle, wrangle and settle back into, with this one life of mine. Besides, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that if something was not my problem, I probably did not have the solution. - Anne Lamott I know a helluva lot. I'm not the only one who knows these things. Many people know more than I do. That's fortunately not my problem. My problem is what I am supposed to ...

There are no problems, only solutions. - John Lennon One of the main problems encountered in time travel is not that of accidentally becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem involved in becoming your own father or mother that a broadminded and well-adjusted family can't cope with. - Douglas Adams Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems. - Scott Adams There is no problem more difficult to solve than that created by ourselves. - Felix Alba Juez Every time I'd get a critique or some redirection, I'd always just take it very personally. Now I have no problem with it. - Jessica Alba To her amazement, she realized that the way of life of these people was nothing more than an indeterminate fiction, casually knotted together at particular points that were used again and again. With four or five remarks, and a couple of facial expressions, she had mastered it with no problem at all. - Ger...

To these people, unhappiness was a condition, an intolerable state of affairs. If pills could help, pills were taken. But pills were not going to change the fundamental problem in the construction. Wanting what you can't have. Looking for self-worth in the mirror. Layering work on top of work and still wondering why you weren't satisfied - before working some more. - Mitch Albom There are more people at Obama's table offering ideas than there were five years ago, but when it came to facing up to the Republicans' threat to force a double-dip recession if they didn't get their millionaires' tax cut, they still amounted to nothing. And therein lies our fundamental problem. - Eric Alterman You have some severe mental problem I need to be aware of, don't you? (Shahara) Just because I eat babies for breakfast and pick my teeth with their bones doesn't mean I'm nuts. (Syn) Any other weird habits I should be aware of? (Shahara) Just my need to dance naked...
