I have no idea where my pathetic nature comes from. If I thought about it too long, it would depress me.
— Steve Carell

— Steve Bannon
So the thing I realized rather gradually - I must say starting about 20 years ago now that we know about computers and things - there's a possibility of a more general basis for rules to describe nature.

The Japanese put houses in among the trees and allowed nature to gain the ascendancy in any composition.
— Stephen Gardiner

— Stephen Daldry
Light is the greatest disinfectant in nature and also in organizations.
— Stephen Covey

— Stan Wawrinka
I fundamentally agree with the critical nature of Israeli democracy, which embraces the core notion of free speech.
— Stacey Abrams
Hidden nature is secret God.
— Sri Aurobindo
The federal government neither has the power to site transmission lines, nor do we build them. That's done, as people know, in their own communities. The siting decisions and the permitting is done at the local level, or by state governments if it's interstate in nature. And federal government - this is one area we have no authority.
— Spencer Abraham
By nature, I think I am a pretty private person, and that is what is hard even doing interviews for films that I really love doing, because in some ways, it diminishes the experience that I had.
— Steve Buscemi
Playing basketball is second nature to me; acting I found far more challenging.
— Stephon Marbury

— Stephen Jay Gould
There are grounds for cautious optimism that we may now be near the end ofthe search for the ultimate laws of nature.
The mystery is what prompted men to leave caves, to come out of the womb of nature.
The vibe in our locker room is real energetic and fun and real personable, I think from Day 1. That gets you through a lot of tough times, where in hard times, it might be common nature for guys to do their own thing and split up and become silent.
— Stephen Curry
Movies, by nature, are not subjective, they're objective.
— Stephen Chbosky
The way my parents brought me up to see the world is still absolutely key to what I am about. The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.
— Stella McCartney
I am not a religious person myself, but I did look for nature. I had spent my first sabbatical in New York City. Looked for something different for the second one. Europe and the U.S. didn't really feel enticing because I knew them too well. So Asia it was. The most beautiful landscapes I had seen in Asia were Sri Lanka and Bali.
— Stefan Sagmeister
By nature, I tended to trust people and was typically open and transparent... But such transparency would go astray when others saw us out of context or when I gave trust to those few who were unworthy of it.
— Stanley A. McChrystal
Man's heart away from nature becomes hard.
— Standing Bear
People want to typecast you; it's human nature.
— Stacy Keach
You can hear 'Human Nature' all over our song 'Elevate.' It's an amazing song. That hooky arpeggio in the beginning is great. Unlike most Michael Jackson ballads, even though I'm a huge Michael Jackson fan, this song is kind of restrained. It's not a huge, crazy song you can dance to - it's just this beautiful piece of music.
— St. Lucia
For me nature itself is god.
— Sreenivasan
There was a Republican majority of the Senate, and it tempered the nature of the nominations being made.
I didn't really like the aloneness of doing stand-up. The comedians by nature weren't very - I mean, they were sociable, but they hung out in cliques, and it's very hard to get accepted; lots of competition.
I don't want to be a vampire. A lot of other people do and I think it's that dual nature - we have, you know, terrifying/intriguing.
— Stephenie Meyer
I was a mathematician by nature, and still am - I just knew I didn't want to be a mathematician. So I decided not to take any mathematics courses.
Screenwriting, as a whole, tends to be more objective. In a novel, you can have chapters of stream-of-consciousness writing that add depth to the plot and characters. Film doesn't allow for that by its nature, at least in the long form.
— Stephen McFeely
It was Einstein's dream to discover the grand design of the universe, a single theory that explains everything. However, physicists in Einstein's day hadn't made enough progress in understanding the forces of nature for that to be a realistic goal.
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.
My poems always begin with a metaphor, but my way into the metaphor may be a word, an image, even a sound. And I rarely know the nature of the metaphor when I begin to write, but there is an attentiveness that a writer develops, a sudden alertness that is much like the feel of a fish brushing against a hook.
— Stephen Dobyns
You're not a product of your nature. That is your genetic makeup or your nurture, the things that have happened to you. Of course those things affect you powerfully, but they do not determine you.
But by providing the background picture - the universal situational awareness that we desire - by showing the anomalies, the Space-Based Radar will change the nature of how we do our analysis and our intelligence.
— Stephen Cambone
The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.
I think the international appeal of SF is quite understandable since the kinds of people who like to read it, are, by the nature of the beast, interested in other cultures, of which other nations on Earth are the closest available example.
— Stanley Schmidt
Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.
— Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

I'm not a parent, but it seems to me the nature of parenting is contingent, full of unexpected challenges - which is one of the wonderful and amazing things about it.
— Stacey D'Erasmo
I have always believed that your face is a mirror to your nature.
— Sridevi
I don't get hyped when I see stars now because it's like second nature to me.
— Spencer Paysinger
