My whole career is based on taking a left turn after each film and doing the opposite of what I've just done.
Kelly Lynch

Never were two people more opposite in sentiment than my companions.
William Hamilton Maxwell

Not far from our house, and opposite the old church with the golden cross, stood a large building, even larger than the church, and having many towers.
Max Muller

Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.

Now all oscillatory movements of such an electron can be conceived of as being split up into force, and two circular oscillations perpendicular to this direction rotating in opposite directions.
Pieter Zeeman

Now equilibrium is the very opposite of disorder.
Rudolf Arnheim

Of course the illusion of art is to make one believe that great literature is very close to life, but exactly the opposite is true. Life is amorphous, literature is formal.

Douglas Feith

People are scared to death of dying. I am the opposite.
Taylor Caldwell

People don't know where to place me. Terry Gilliam used me as a quirky cop in 'Twelve Monkeys', and then he hired me again to be an effeminate hotel clerk in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'. Another time, I was shooting this indie film 'The Souler Opposite' and six days a week, I'm playing this big puppy dog, then I come to the 'NYPD Blue' set and become this scumbag.
Christopher Meloni

People equate sexy with promiscuous. They think that because I'm shaped this way, I must be scandalous - like running around and bringing men into my hotel room. But it's just the opposite.
Jennifer Lopez

Felix Mendelssohn

People think our music's very aggressive or angry or whatever, and it's just the opposite, really... I like laughing. And I like being really calm before a show, and smiley.
Serj Tankian

People think that being on Star Trek is career suicide, but it's really just the opposite.
Brent Spiner

People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on eachother, like a wall of mini stones.
Donald Knuth

People think that if you are a scientist you have to give up that joy of discovery, that passion, that sense of the great romance of life. I say that's completely opposite of the truth.
Ann Druyan

Pleasure and pain, though directly opposite are contrived to be constant companions.
Pierre Charron

Quite the opposite. I might fall on my face, but I feel born again.
Richard Foreman

Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.
Ben Hogan
