Certainly after the tragedy in Neil's life, we were holding out hope for his recovery. It wasn't too promising at the time and obviously you get to the point of thinking that that is it.
~By Alex Lifeson ~
Because, if we understand how a building is to be produced and we find a way that it can be more simply produced, then obviously we are contributing to building better buildings more easily.
~By Minoru Yamasaki ~
I love comic book movies, and Marvel Comics obviously are the best.
~By Maria Menounos ~

~By Dick Thornburgh ~

~By Elvis Costello ~
It's obvious that they're going to want Ali's daughter and Frazier's daughter to fight it out.
~By Robert Goulet ~

~By Cynthia Ozick ~
It is obvious that taking the country from a state of war to being a lawful state won't be easy.
~By Ahmed Ben Bella ~

~By Al Jarreau ~
Women are obviously much more discriminated against than men in many ways.
~By Ann Beattie ~

~By Merton Miller ~
He said this has the potential to be the first broadband killer application, and it has sort of become the truth because obviously it's so bandwidth intensive. I mean, it has been an issue.
~By Shawn Fanning ~
Well, I decided earlier this year that I would run for president, and obviously I needed something to run on.
~By Craig Armstrong ~
The fact that Stravinsky used the classics as a major influence is obvious. What is interesting is how he used them, how he turned Bach into Stravinsky.
~By Lukas Foss ~
Obviously, you've never seen a woman skydiving in a hoop skirt.
~By Chris A. Bridges ~
Now, the impact on export markets - we export about 10 percent of what we produce, so obviously that will probably have some impact on the market. At this point it's too early to determine how much.
~By Ann Veneman ~
Mr. Chairman, obviously a $60 million cut in the National Endowment for the Arts would be a disaster.
~By Norm Dicks ~
One layer was certainly 17th century. The 18th century in him is obvious. There was the 19th century, and a large slice, of course, of the 20th century; and another, curious layer which may possibly have been the 21st.
~By Clement Attlee ~
Well, we've made huge strides since the 1990 World Cup, USA '94, and obviously since '98. Unfortunately, those strides only register with the public once every four years.
~By Lamar Hunt ~
Now obviously the propositions of the system have reference to matters of empirical fact; if they did not, they could have no claim to be called scientific.
~By Talcott Parsons ~
Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman.
~By William Moulton Marston ~
I hate to say it but I think it has become very obvious that our system for devising trade agreements, so very important to this country's functioning around the world, has not only broken, but it has broken completely.
~By Xavier Becerra ~
What can I do, I asked myself, that is so spectacular that no one will be able to say he had seen it before? The answer was perfectly obvious. I would send a midget up to bat.
~By Bill Veeck ~
A new poll shows that Senator Kerry's support in the South is strongest amongst blacks. Kerry's appeal to Southern blacks is obvious. He is a white man who lives far, far away.
~By Dennis Miller ~
I certainly know that this relationship could not have continued the way it did, when I was at the Pentagon and the president was obviously at the White House, without Betty.
~By Monica Lewinsky ~
It's obvious, but perhaps worth saying, that happiness has virtually nothing to do with the state of your intellect.
~By Daniel Keys Moran ~

~By Fred Thompson ~
"Obvious" is the most dangerous word in mathematics.
~By E. T. Bell ~

~By Deborah Bull ~
I'd been to Memphis before, but we stayed out of Memphis early on in the late 70s for obvious reasons. People were very sensitive about Elvis Presley, and my stage name obviously would be provocative to some people in that area at that time.
~By Elvis Costello ~
Obviously, there has to be a profound change in direction. Otherwise, interest on the national debt will start eating up virtually every penny that we have.
~By Bobby Scott ~
Obviously all of us have thought about Vietnam, particularly in my generation in Australia that were part of conscription and fought there. Our friends came back, forever changed. So there were a lot of questions.
~By Phillip Noyce ~
Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid.
~By Freddie Mercury ~
If I had to compare any of the two, I'd compare the first one in Edmonton, the first one here in New York because it had been so long in New York since we had won. Obviously, being the first time to ever win the cup in Edmonton, they were fairly similar in that regard.
~By Mark Messier ~
The Phil Spector that I would meet has always been a nice, quiet, little guy who's very serious about his work; obviously you can tell that because each and everything he's ever done has always been charted.
~By Ben E. King ~
They tend to be pretty abstract ones then, like doing what will have the best consequences; obviously you wouldn't specify what consequences are best, they may be different in some circumstances, so at a lower, more specific level, you may well get differences.
~By Peter Singer ~
No, no, it is obvious that the ECU should act as a close alliance for the benefit of chess.
~By Anatoly Karpov ~
There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live.

Obviously, a skirt does present certain problems that I had to be aware of. But when it came to the shoot and we were rolling, I didn't really pay it any attention. It wasn't too bad.
~By Chiaki Kuriyama ~
It means a lot to be back in New York. Particularly since one of the last senior event scheduled in the States was supposed to be here in New York. We were supposed to play in Central Park right after 9-11 and when 9-11 happened obviously things changed.
~By John McEnroe ~
People are naming it the Third Wave, the Information Age, etc. but I would say those are basically technological descriptions, and this next shift is not about technology - although obviously it will be influenced and in some cases expressed by technologies.
~By Paul Hawken ~
It'll become obvious that we've really been working against ourselves.
~By Neale Donald Walsch ~

~By Robbie Coltrane ~
Each man has an equal social right to multiply his power of motion by all the social factors of civilization. Private property in any of these factors is inconsistent with this fundamental right; it must, obviously, prove a source of economic despotism and industrial slavery.

~By Karl Marx ~

I'm quite obviously not the world's most handsome man - I'm the second world's most handsome man!
~By Robbie Williams ~
We came back right over the World Trade Center and could see, even from that altitude, the devastation, the smoke that was coming up. It was obvious it was going to be horrible.
~By Hugh Shelton ~
Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely- read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.
~By Hesketh Pearson ~
Nobody wants you to stop, obviously because you're a moneymaking machine. But you have to make the decision and you have to move forward. So I took time off to have babies and do all that.

~By George W. Bush ~
Laying tracks gives you freedom without being too obvious.
~By Claude Chabrol ~
It's my mother's engagement ring so I thought it was quite nice because obviously she's not going to be around to share any of the fun and excitement of it all - this was my way of keeping her close to it all.
~By Prince William ~

~By Lee Child ~
Obviously the shift to gas and the need for large amounts of gas in the United States is going to be a major focus of attention on the part of producers.
~By Andrew Gould ~
Without sounding too pretentious, I was sort of a slave to the narrative. When the narrative cracks in, I have to go where it takes me. I had to go to the Bohemian Grove. It was the obvious end to the book.
~By Jon Ronson ~
Obviously, our children, who have been playing with their computers since the age of five or six, don't have quite the same brain as those who were brought up on wooden or metal toys, whose brains are certainly atrophied by comparison.
~By Claude Vorilhon ~
It is obvious, moreover, that the formation of price in capitalist society must differ from the formation of price in social conditions based upon the simple production of commodities.
~By Rudolf Hiferding ~
So obviously, any religion embodies some form of rules and expectations for behavior, and even sometimes consequences, and they don't want to hear any of that.
~By Pat Boone ~
There is perhaps no more obvious vanity than to write of it so vainly.
~By Michel de Montaigne ~
Between now and then and I just felt it was ready and it was a long enough period gone by. I obviously didn't want to hurt anybody, you know. It was done out of a genuine memorial or tribute whatever you want to call it.
~By Jack Bruce ~
Torture has been privatized now, so you have obviously the whole scandal in America about the abuse of prisoners and the fact that, army people might be made to pay a price, but who are the privatized torturers accountable too?
~By Arundhati Roy ~
Obviously the first sentiment is disappointment that we didn't get the car home and more disappointment that at the time that it stopped the car was in the lead.
~By John Surtees ~
I was like a total cliched '80s child. I had Barbies, obviously, as well as My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids, but I used to destroy them. I used to draw all over their faces and cut off their hair.
~By Natalie Portman ~
You want to do something that shows some type individuality and talent and imagination - at the same time, you want to be truthful to the predecessors, because obviously the audience liked something about them and you have to replicate that experience to a certain extent.
~By Renny Harlin ~
I don't even know what the odds are for one kid or one team to make it here. Obviously, being from Canada this is their Stanley Cup - they made it. It's hard enough to get here and it's hard enough to advance.
~By John Atkinson ~
It all comes back to the same place, whether she does well, I do well, or we both do well, which is obviously what we're hoping for. It's all good. You know? We're definitely pull for each other.
~By Nick Lachey ~
They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
~By Arthur Schopenhauer ~
I remember Tim telling me that he had an idea for a musical and he said to me that he was hoping that ABBA would be writing the music, which I thought was a pretty wild idea because they were obviously known very much as pop writers.

~By Jean Anouilh ~
When somebody says that all statements are false, the obvious problem is that as an assertion it's self-defeating.

~By Henry M. Morris ~
I've continued to always keep in mind having a healthy does of that in Hollywood, now that I am part of the system and obviously have to follow the way the system works - you still have to have that crazy determination.
~By Renny Harlin ~
Anyone who claims to be good at lying is obviously bad at lying. Thus - as a writer myself - I cannot comment on whether or not writers are exceptionally good liars, because whatever I said would actually mean its complete opposite.
~By Chuck Klosterman ~
The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply.
~By Khalil Gibran ~

~By Vin Diesel ~

~By John Starks ~
The payment of taxes is an obvious and insistent duty, and its sanction is usually punitive.
~By Joseph McKenna ~
Whether the story reflects the facts is obviously a different matter.

~By Arthur Hertzberg ~
An athlete must have ability to reach the top, but many who have ability and who do not live clean lives never have and never will be champions for obvious reasons.
~By Major Taylor ~
I will entertain anything; it doesn't matter. You know, it's not obviously about the price, it's not about who, it's kind of about when and what. It's material, that's all.
~By Tom Hanks ~
At least believe this many humans, who are interested obviously in this topic. Many of them visited me after lectures and meetings, in hope that I can give concrete answers to their questions. For it was clear: If that does not know it, who is to then know it?
~By Ulrich Walter ~
Nick and Simon had come to a natural end of their working relationship with Warren, which obviously opened the door for a reunion of the original five.
~By Roger Andrew Taylor ~

~By Janet Street-Porter ~
As far as our fans are concerned, I'm the only one who counts; along with my teammates, obviously.
~By Alessandro Del Piero ~
