Maybe I'll just be a good aunt.
I stated that Hiroshima and Nagasaki are 'among the most unspeakable crimes in history.' I took no position on just where they stand on the scale of horrors relative to Auschwitz, the bombing of Chungking, Lidice, and so on.
Jane Austen was an extraordinary woman; to actually be able to survive as a novelist in those days - unmarried - was just unheard of.
Even in a time of fiscal austerity, education is more than just an expense.
I grew up just outside of Austin, and my upbringing was fairly rural.
Authenticity is a virtue. But just as you can have too little authenticity, you can also have too much.
For an author to write as he speaks is just as reprehensible as the opposite fault, to speak as he writes; for this gives a pedantic effect to what he says, and at the same time makes him hardly intelligible.
I was just an ordinary student. I'd always gotten along with authorities quite well.
For a war to be just three conditions are necessary - public authority, just cause, right motive.
I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it.
Some teachers just have a knack for working with autistic children. Other teachers do not have it.
I'm glad Carol Vorderman has left 'Countdown;' I mean, it's not like she did much. She was effectively just an autistic shelf-stacker.
I write about the period 1933-42, and I read books written during those years: books by foreign correspondents of the time, histories of the time written contemporaneously or just afterwards, autobiographies and biographies of people who were there, present-day histories of the period, and novels written during those times.
'My Life' is not an autobiography. It's just music.
Car designers are just going to have to come up with an automobile that outlasts the payments.
When I was a kid, the avant-garde to me was boring because it was just the flip side of being really successful.
There was a little less pressure to be fit on 'The Avengers' than 'Captain America.' I had just finished 'Captain America,' so I was already built. Plus, 'Captain America' has that one scene dramatic scene where my transformation is revealed. 'The Avengers' has not one shirtless scene.
You don't win championships by just being normal, by just being average.
I don't want to be just an average guy. I want to do whatever possible to win a lot of games. I'm a competitor.
I just want to be treated like an average guy.
