Isidore Ducasse Lautreamont

Looking back, I'm almost happy I lost that fight. Just imagine if I would have come back to Germany with a victory. I had nothing to do with the Nazis, but they would have given me a medal. After the war I might have been considered a war criminal.
Max Schmeling

I grew up in a commune where no one considered me female, particularly.
Kristin Hersh

I always considered myself very successful even before the success of Secrets and Lies.
Brenda Blethyn

Charlie Daniels

It could be argued that, in Thailand, many foreigners have come and gone, and the number of people who are considered to be Thai have traveled abroad in a great number.
Bhumibol Adulyadej

Hope unbelieved is always considered nonsense. But hope believed is history in the process of being changed.

I know that in order to be considered successful, you're supposed to do two or three movies a year. I only work once every year-and-a-half, sometimes two years. I have children to raise.

Salmon P. Chase

The people at home don't care what your problems are. They just know that you're doing that show and you're supposed to do the best you can do. It's not a 9-5 type of job. I've considered myself very lucky to do that kind of work.
Wink Martindale

I came very close to quitting my job for the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign. I seriously considered packing up my office and heading home to Colorado.

Ricky Martin
