I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.Muhammad Ali

If I had terminal cancer, I had a few weeks to live, I was in tremendous amount of pain - if they just effectively wanted to turn off the switch and legalise that by legalising euthanasia, I'd want that.John Key
Copy
If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.Denis Waitley
Copy
I am a spiritual person in an eastern religion kind of way. I learned that happiness for all of us is a switch that you flick in your brain. It doesn't have anything to do with getting a new house, a new car, a new girlfriend, or a new pair of shoes. Our culture is very much about that; we are never happy with what we have today.Tom Ford
Copy
I've lost both parents in the last two years, so you pick up on that stuff. That's the most terrible thing about being an author - standing there at your mother's funeral, but you don't switch the author off. So your own innermost thoughts are grist for the mill.Terry Pratchett
Copy
The dragonfly is an exceptionally beautiful insect and a fierce carnivore. It has four wings that beat independently. This gives it an ability to maneuver in the air with superb dexterity. A dragonfly can put on a burst of speed, stop on a dime, hover, fly backward, and switch direction in a flash. This is a hunting behavior known as hawking.Richard Preston
Copy
I'm very competitive. If I have to 'turn it on,' I know how to. The switch isn't hard to find, don't worry.Daniel Ricciardo
Copy
Serial tasking is hard because switching tasks is hard, even when the tasks are easy and similar. In some experiments, bilingual speakers are asked to read out numbers, first in one language and then midway in another language. They often stumble at the switch, taking many tries before they hit their stride again.Sendhil Mullainathan
Copy
When you're shooting, there's terrible pressure, and you never switch off. Every day is like the day before an exam; it's relentless.Lenny Abrahamson
Copy
I am content, ambitious and equally know the need to switch off from work. My world is big enough to go beyond movies too.Arbaaz Khan
Copy
If you had a game that said, 'Oops, you're dead. Now switch off the game,' it wouldn't be very successful. So you do need to have something to teach and be there to learn from, and we feel that death in video games is a positive experience.Hidetaka Miyazaki
Copy
One action society needs to take is to use energy much more efficiently. Instead of incandescent light bulbs, you could switch to LEDs that consume a lot less electricity, for example.Mario J. Molina
Copy
Whatever hair color I have on my head, that's what decides what type of outfit I'm going to wear, because not everything goes with your hair color. That's why I switch it up.Cardi B
Copy
The media's power is frail. Without the people's support, it can be shut off with the ease of turning a light switch.Corazon Aquino
Copy
I like to comprehend more or less everything around me - apart from the creation of my music. It's an obsessive character trait that's getting worse. I don't switch the light on and off 15 times before I leave the room yet, but something's going wrong.Robert Plant
Copy
I would switch roles with Madonna for a day. Or if Audrey Hepburn was still alive, Audrey Hepburn. I love Audrey Hepburn. She's one of my idols, also.Lindsay Lohan
Copy
Honestly, when I do a lot of records where it's super lyrical, all that it is to prove and to show people, like, I can really rap. I can switch flows - I can go with the best of them - so first of all, I want you to respect me as a rapper.Joyner Lucas
Copy
I take my mobile phone and iPad wherever I go. I like to switch off when I'm on holiday, but I always check emails in case someone at home is trying to get hold of me.Olly Murs
Copy
There are absolutely lots of teachers who are trying to come into the profession, but they are not attracted enough to say, 'I'm going to switch careers to do it,' or they are often not retained... because the salaries and the compensation aren't there to make it happen.Melinda Gates
Copy
Politicians can either keep listening to a small number of polluting fossil fuel companies, who're keen to profit from keeping us hooked on oil, coal and gas, or they can listen to the majority of other voices from civil society to business calling for an urgent switch to low and zero carbon heat and power.Caroline Lucas
Copy
A holiday is an opportunity to journey within. It is also a chance to chill, to relax. It is when I switch on my rest mode.Prabhas
Copy
People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they're all asleep at the switch. Consequently we are living in the Age of Human Error.Florence King
Copy
Mentally, I have to get my body and mind in the right place before I start the routine, but once into the zone, it's like I turn on a switch. I envision myself doing the same thing for the Olympic Games.Simone Biles
Copy
When I meet people who say - which they do all of the time - 'I must just tell you, my great aunt had cancer of the elbow and the doctors gave her 10 seconds to live, but last I heard she was climbing Mount Everest,' and so forth, I switch off quite early.Christopher Hitchens
Copy
Altruism is innate, but it's not instinctual. Everybody's wired for it, but a switch has to be flipped.David Rakoff
Copy
Copy
The story of Basinski's 'Disintegration Loops' - tapes that destroyed themselves in the transfer to digital - is a parable (again almost too perfect) for the switch from the fragility of analogue to the infinite replicability of digital.Mark Fisher
Copy
You see, revolution sounds like something that happens, like turning on the light switch, but actually it's moving a large obstacle, and a lot of folks' efforts to push it in one direction or the other have to combine.Gil Scott-Heron
Copy
All the excitement is during the making of a film. Once I'm done with it, I switch to my next project and am excited about that.Anushka Shetty
Copy
When I'm not doing readings, I just spend a lot of time alone and try to meditate. Going for walks in nature is also really good for me. It's a way to center myself without having people around, because my ability is less of an on-off switch. It's more like a radio volume dial, so I always have background music in my head.Tyler Henry
Copy
I love that if there's a thunderstorm, then I can sleep through the night while everyone else is awake. I love that if I have a headache and there's lots of noise around me, I can just switch off my hearing aid so it's nice and quiet.Rose Ayling-Ellis
Copy
It is very hard to explain to people who have never known serious depression or anxiety the sheer continuous intensity of it. There is no off switch.Matt Haig
Copy
When I'm working on a Slipknot song, it's like a switch flips in my head. I can go there easily - it doesn't take a lot of soul searching - and it's a dark, almost sinister place. Stone Sour is more the way I've always written. It's a different tone.Corey Taylor
Copy
Yes, it seems we've got this mutant gene in our human personality that makes us susceptible to this same kind of mistake over and over again. It's really uncanny how we build these beautiful multicultural edifices and then allow this switch to be flipped and everybody goes, 'Oh, the other, get them out of here.'Geraldine Brooks
Copy
That's the most terrible thing about being an author - standing there at your mother's funeral, but you don't switch the author off. So your own innermost thoughts are grist for the mill. Who was it said - one of the famous lady novelists - 'unhappy is the family that contains an author'?Terry Pratchett
Copy
Love isn't a switch you can turn on and off. You just can't get rid of it, regardless of the circumstances, if you truly love someone.Matt Hardy
Copy
I used to get criticized for doing a 'Bump & Grind' then turning around and doing a gospel song. But the truth is I'm glad I have a gift that allows me to switch lanes.R. Kelly

The creative process is not controlled by a switch you can simply turn on or off; it's with you all the time.Alvin Ailey
Copy
Any active sportsman has to be very focused; you've got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various directions, you do not achieve the results. I need to know when to switch on and switch off: and the rest of the things happen around that. Cricket is in the foreground, the rest is in the background.Sachin Tendulkar
Copy
Uncritical semantics is the myth of a museum in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels.Willard Van Orman Quine
Copy
The way you really find out about the performer's seriousness about the cause is how long they stay with it when the spotlight gets turned off. You see a lot of celebrities switch gears. They go from the environment to animal rights to obesity or whatever. That I don't have a lot of respect for.Robert Redford
Copy
Films that are easy to sell happen to be the worst films. Look at the poster for 'Wrath of the Titans' and 'John Carter': they're exactly the same. You could switch titles.Taika Waititi
Copy
When you're on the battlefield, you switch off your soul; otherwise, you would die of terror - you would die of fear. You switch off your soul, and you act like an animal or a machine.Amos Oz
Copy
I believe the switch from 'lady' to 'woman' was part of the women's movement. 'Lady' was a euphemism for 'woman,' and that was one reason that we wanted to move away from it.Deborah Tannen
Copy
Being bicultural and bilingual gave me an opportunity growing up to code switch, culture switch, understanding how people do things differently, but it doesn't mean badly. If anything, you add value to the conversation.Miguel Cardona
Copy
I have always been down to test what I can do and push the limits of my acting. I have always wanted to try new genres and stuff - but I love comedy. I grew up on comedy, and I love having a good time and making people laugh. But it is also really nice to switch it around and make people think and feel some darker emotions.Devon Bostick
Copy
When you're bringing an idea to fruition, there are two distinct phases: the skeptic phase and the evangelist phase. During the first phase, you have to be willing to ask the hardest questions - is this idea worth pursuing? But once you are convinced, you flip a switch. It's about getting it done.Daniel Lubetzky
Copy
We turned the switch, saw the flashes, watched for ten minutes, then switched everything off and went home. That night I knew the world was headed for sorrow.Leo Szilard
