The problem is not that America does not have energy. The problem is that our government - alone among the governments of the world - will not allow its own people to recover the energy that they possess.

I love playing music with people, but I also just love the art and meditation of being alone and working on stuff.
— Jim James
I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of the day when I'm alone and don't have to be performing.
— Jim Carrey
There's a trend toward anti-heroes now, and I think it goes back to guys like Bogart and Cagney. They seemed to have no compassion, and they were always alone.
— Jim Brown
When I write, I lose time. I'm happy in a way that I have a hard time finding in real life. The intimacy between my brain and my fingers and my computer... Yet knowing that that intimacy will find an audience... It's very satisfying. It's like having the safety of being alone with the ego reward of being known.
— Jill Soloway
I always feel guilty when I want to go get my nails done or hair done because it takes time away, but I know moms need that alone time, too.
— Jessie James Decker
I think I get my alone time when I have to go fly and do a work trip. After work's done, I go check into my hotel, and I get to have a few hours to myself to order room service and just be quiet and silent.
One of my biggest fears is thinking that there are people in my house when I'm home alone.
— Jessica Parker Kennedy
Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking.
— Jessamyn West
Probably only an art-worlder like me could assign deeper meaning to something as simple and silly as Tebowing. But, to us, anytime people repeat a stance or a little dance, alone or together, we see that it can mean something. Imagistic and unspoken language is our thing.
— Jerry Saltz
'Home Alone' was a movie, not an alibi.
— Jerry Orbach
We are so bound together that no man can labor for himself alone. Each blow he strikes in his own behalf helps to mold the universe.
— Jerome K. Jerome
At work people are expected to be at the beck and call of employers all the time. You have blackberries and other things, and they just don't leave you alone. People have less time just to drop into an art gallery.
— Jeremy Paxman
Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do.
— Jeremy Bentham
It's necessary to start most work alone. But I'm tickled to death when I can pull somebody in or join someone, whether it's borrowing poetry or traveling with an associate.
— Jenny Holzer
Government technology processes are mind-boggling long and complicated. A procurement process alone is typically two years, and that doesn't account for the time required to actually build the product.
— Jennifer Pahlka
In the early years of Rent the Runway, our challenge was twofold: getting investors to buy into our vision for how the world was changing and getting women to understand that renting was a viable - let alone a smarter - alternative to spending hundreds of dollars on dresses they would wear just once.
— Jennifer Hyman
There are times when I feel incredibly loved and connected, and times when I feel alone. I think that's natural for all of us.
— Jim Sturgess
Who knows what technology will emerge in the next five years, let alone 20. Yet the education we provide our children now is supposed to last for decades. We cannot train them for jobs that do not even exist yet, but we can provide them with the minds and tools they'll need to adapt to our ever-changing set of circumstances.
— Jim Hunt
My mother was a professional sick person; she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.
You can't fake it when you're alone with God, you know.
— Jim Bakker
I write to feel alone.
— Jhumpa Lahiri
I don't want anyone to ever feel they are alone and no one likes them, or to feel as insecure as I did.
We hope that by sharing my experience - our experience, Lennon and I - that somebody who is going through this process or helping their loved one through it might feel less alone, and might even have some better information for their cancer care.
— Jessica St. Clair
I can't imagine Christ being weak and carrying on about his burdens to women, let alone an Oprah type of woman. We respect and believe in Christ because of the way he dealt with life and how he overcame evil with good. His strength and love encourages those sincerely seeking to believe in God.
— Jesse Lee Peterson
In 'Hokey Pokey,' bikes are kind of more than bikes alone. They become mustangs; they become creatures that rip up the dust as they gallop across the Great Plains.
— Jerry Spinelli
Players alone don't win championships. It takes an entire organization. Someone has to acquire the players. Someone has to coach them. Someone has to generate revenue to pay them. But at the end of the day, the players are the ones who put their minds and bodies on the line to win.
— Jerry Reinsdorf
I'm the kind of guy who can't keep a plant alive for a week, let alone a relationship.
— Jerry O'Connell
I like to play against strikers and think that, from my size alone, I'm more of a central defender.
— Jerome Boateng
You can't run the economy on BMWs alone. If the average person is in a pickle, how do you have a healthy economy?
— Jeremy Grantham
We are all born alone and die alone. The loneliness is definitely part of the journey of life.
— Jenova Chen
It can be kind of gruesome at times, making things alone.
Pressure is an emotional paralysis. It's hard enough to do the dishes when you're feeling pressured, let alone make a movie.
— Jennifer Lynch
I have a lot of favorite films. I tend to love the silliness of 'Bringing Up Baby.' 'Charade' is fantastic. 'His Girl Friday,' the banter in that, that alone made me want to be a writer.
— Jennifer Grant
Every champion golfer comes to Augusta imbued with a towering source of inspiration. It's a solitary journey, but it's one that no player... makes alone.
— Jim Nantz
Looking back on those games, I probably hustled out of position as much as I hustled into position since I really never had any real training. I was working on instincts alone.
— Jim Evans
A zombie amusement park sounds like fun, but the health code violations alone are enough to turn your stomach.
— Jim C. Hines
If you don't solicit me for help, I'll leave you alone.
— Jillian Michaels
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
— Jesus Christ
I moved all the time as part of a military family, and I just really did not have very many friends. I remember having these feelings of walking into a room and feeling that nobody likes me, or thinking, 'I'm going to have to sit alone at lunch again.'
I always knew that the only thing I wanted to do was act, but it took me a long time to say it out loud to anyone, let alone myself. I am surprised by how dogged I have been in wanting to make a living as a respected actress.
— Jessica Raine
I feel like I'd invested so much in the physical side of my life: running marathons - I brought a SEAL into my house - I have a trainer. But I've invested very little on the inner work, and in a world of distractions, I felt like to have the whole picture, I really had to spend a little time alone and work on being present.
— Jesse Itzler
There's one Baldessari work I genuinely love and would like to own, maybe because of my Midwestern roots and love of driving alone. 'The backs of all the trucks passed while driving from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, California, Sunday, 20 January 1963' consists of a grid of 32 small color photographs depicting just what the title says.
You can have music and it will stand alone by itself, but you can't have a movie without it.
— Jerry Reed
I'm at work by 8 or 8:30, and when I get home every night, my wife and I walk around the lawn. We have dinner together, and then we spend most of our evenings alone.
— Jerry Falwell
A celibate, like the fly in the heart of an apple, dwells in a perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is confined and dies in singularity.
— Jeremy Taylor
I think people need to realize they're not alone, and that there's hope, and it's running to Jesus.
— Jeremy Camp
With 'Journey,' we created an emotional arc for two different scenarios. So, if you play alone, it's a good game. You have what we think is a complete emotional arc. You will feel, I guess, a sense of transformation in the single-player. Because it's a hero's journey.
I think, as a writer, you spend most of your time working on the book alone.
— Jenny Han
I've always had a huge fear of dying or becoming ill. The thing I'm most afraid of, though, is being alone, which I think a lot of performers fear. It's why we seek the limelight - so we're not alone, were adored. We're loved, so people want to be around us. The fear of being alone drives my life.
— Jennifer Lopez
