Mental illness is a very powerful thing. If it is with you it is probably going to be there until the day you die. I am trying so hard to break mine, but it is not easy. It is my toughest fight ever. – Frank Bruno
We’re concerned with a powerful government who is telling General Motors now, maybe, what they can charge for their automobiles. Indeed, if the government owns 61 percent, they can do that. – Phil Gingrey

When I heard Grateful Dead music, I knew that it was the most powerful force on the planet. – Mickey Hart
I hadn’t seen ‘Bride of Frankenstein’ until high school or maybe even later than that. It’s really one of the great movie experiences where you think you know what it’s going to be, but it’s so much weirder and so much better than anything you could’ve imagined. It’s so full of these striking, powerful images. – Mike Mignola
Los Angeles is a really strange place. I grew up there like a normal kid, but it was not until I experienced other parts of the world that I realized how really and truly bizarre to the core it is – inside the homes of the powerful and damaged. – Dakota Johnson
People might start with LiveJournal or Blogger, but if they get serious, they’ll graduate to WordPress. We try to cater to the more powerful users. – Matt Mullenweg
Many and subtle are the ideological weapons that the State has wielded through the centuries. Once excellent weapon has been tradition. The longer that the rule of a State has been able to preserve itself, the more powerful this weapon; for then, the X Dynasty or the Y State has the seeming weight of centuries of tradition behind it. – Murray Rothbard
It’s hard to pin down what it means to be an evangelical today. It’s been diluted quite a bit. It is a powerful voting bloc, no question, but they’re liberal as well as conservative – and they’re made of Latinos, blacks, whites. – Franklin Graham
Obama has made America cool again – and more than that, he’s made his own brand arguably the most powerful the world has ever known. – Dee Dee Myers
Traditions are the guideposts driven deep in our subconscious minds. The most powerful ones are those we can’t even describe, aren’t even aware of. – Ellen Goodman
You know, if you think about it, the most powerful people on this earth probably never raise their voices – they just say it and people hop to, because they have that power. – Erika Slezak
The most powerful forces in economics are not numbers or facts. They are prejudices and preferences. No amount of evidence will ever change the degree to which many of the rich and powerful prefer themselves to be richer and more powerful and others poorer and weaker. – Nick Hanauer
What one state could not get alone, what one miner against a powerful corporation could not achieve, can be achieved by the union. – Mary Harris Jones
There is immense, powerful potential in life in this universe – especially now that we know that places like the Earth are common. And that potential, that powerful potential, is also our potential, of you and me. – Dimitar Sasselov
We’ve got over 1 million merchants who have claimed their businesses on Foursquare, running specials and doing other things. What we want to do is take these tools used by the 50-100 national retailers and make them accessible to our 1 million merchants. Then you’ve got something really powerful. – Dennis Crowley
Science is simply a powerful way of understanding what’s real and what isn’t, what’s true and what’s not. It can help us determine what works, what doesn’t, for whom, and under what circumstances. – Dean Ornish
If we’re destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there’s got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. – Ellen DeGeneres
Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators. – Dave Barry
What Whitney Houston has accomplished will never be accomplished. She’s the most famous person on the planet as far as vocaling and her songs. So I’m very happy that I can sit here and say I had a chance to know her. And I’m still dazed that she’s gone. But she lives because her music is so powerful. – Narada Michael Walden
The more powerful you become, some people especially don’t like it that you’re a woman. I stick up for myself. – Ellen Barkin
The particular feature of Berlin – well, all you need to do is look at the map: the geographical position of the city right in the heart of Europe, and the separation of the most powerful two blocs we’ve ever had in history, which went all the way through Germany. – Markus Wolf
Israel is in the grip of a ghetto mentality. We have a powerful army. We have the atomic bomb. But the psychology of what comes out of Israel has the tone of the Warsaw Ghetto. – Daniel Barenboim
I was holding a reserve inside all along. When you’re with someone as powerful as Donald, you have no choice. You can get lost within that power if you’re not careful. – Marla Maples
If you’re a woman doing classic theater, the big roles are often destroyers. I’ve played Hedda Gabler, Lady Macbeth, some of the Chekhovian heroines, Electra, Phaedra – they’re all powerful women, but they’re forces of negativity. – Eve Best
I love to see heroes who fuel some kind of moral furnace inside them, who are driven to take on the evils of the world, despite the fact that the evils of the world are more powerful than them. And essentially can never be defeated, but they refuse to bow down. And in order to enjoy that aspect of the hero, you’ve got to put them through hell. – Neil Cross
If you want to humble an empire, it makes sense to maim its cathedrals. They are symbols of its faith, and when they crumple and burn, it tells us we are not so powerful and we can’t be safe. – Nancy Gibbs
A leaderless but powerful network is working to bring about radical changes in the United States. Its members have broken with certain key elements of Western thought, and they may even have broken continuity with history… this benign conspiracy for new human agenda has triggered the most rapid cultural realignment in history. – Marilyn Ferguson
