This is your moment. You're meant to be here.
Herb Brooks

A lot of people are not meant to be together.
John Cusack

When the president during the campaign said he was against nation building, I didn't realize he meant our nation.
Al Franken

Janet Frame

The thing that made Groucho special was the way he used his body parts. He also had a wicked tongue. People didn't realize it, but when Groucho said something, he meant it.

Marshall McLuhan

I'm going to introduce you to a revolutionary thought - you can go slower and get there quicker. And that's to do with flow. As soon as you made it two lanes and brought in the 70 (mph) and 50 (mph), you got there quicker. It meant the flow of the traffic was better, there were less accidents, less deaths, I think that's an important factor.
John Prescott

Deadlines are meant to be broken. And I just keep breaking them.
Sarah McLachlan

Sandra Cisneros

Argument is meant to reveal the truth, not to create it.
Edward de Bono

No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them, because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and, above all, timesaving to make them identical.
Michael Ende

Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech. Popular speech, by definition, needs no protection.
Neal Boortz

O! many a shaft, at random sent, Finds mark the archer little meant! And many a word, at random spoken, May soothe or wound a heart that's broken!
Walter Scott

If God had meant Harvard professors to appear in People magazine, She wouldn't have invented The New York Review of Books.
Anna Quindlen

Each of us is meant to have a character all our own, to be what no other can exactly be, and do what no other can exactly do.
William Ellery Channing

I'm a national security liberal, which I tell people because it's meant to sound absurd.
Rachel Maddow

In the West there has always been the attempt to try make the religious building, whether it's a Medieval or Renaissance church, an eternal object for the celebration of God. The material chosen, such as stone, brick, or concrete, is meant to eternally preserve what is inside.
Tadao Ando

But the gravest difficulty, and perhaps the most important, in poetry meant solely for recitation, is the difficulty of achieving verbal beauty, or rather of making verbal beauty tell.
