Novelty is not necessarily a virtue.
Rita Mae Brown
Anything that happens, happens. Anthing that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen. Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again. It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though.
Douglas Adams
Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction, for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to it.
G. K. Chesterton
If power was an illusion, wasn't weakness necessarily one also?
Lois McMaster Bujold

Randy K. Milholland
Not necessarily stoned..but beautiful.
Jimi Hendrix

Alexander Hamilton
Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.

Andrea Anderson
They receive credit not necessarily because of the number of days they're here, but the mastery of their learning.

Anthony Edwards
I don't necessarily agree with everything she says, but it doesn't matter. She's Madonna.
Jennifer Moore

Benedict Spinoza
IT issues don't necessarily break down ideologically. The middle of each party comes together and works together to get each issue done.
Connie Correll

Guillermo Ortiz
I don't believe that an arbitration award will in this case necessarily serve the best interest of either the parties or the public.
Richard Curreri
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Henri Poincare
We see the writing on the wall of some changes that could be taking place in the copper market. However, at this point, we're not necessarily at a point where we can call for that yet.
Dave Meger
We are concerned with the growth that's out there. The speed study will take that into consideration, as everything else. It doesn't necessarily mean that the speed limit will be lowered.
Bob Mckenzie
Those who are blessed with the most talent don't necessarily outperform everyone else. It's the people with follow-through who excel.
Mary Kay Ash
We have a situation where the policies and the way we're being treated... it's not favorable. He's not necessarily doing anything about it.
Uzo Ohaebosim

Crispin Glover
There are some solutions that are not necessarily expensive, but will take a willingness and time to explore.
David Reschke
This year, more so than anytime I've been involved with UAF, it's been very competitive for ice time. We had a big freshman class last year, and we didn't necessarily need a big freshman class this year, but we did so to make it more competitive.
Wade Klippenstein
Not necessarily impeachment articles filed, but hearings on the subject, and I think the public would expect that.
Bill Mccollum
You may see the mortality rate go up -- but that's not necessarily because SARS per se is getting worse.
Dr. Julie Gerberding
Some people make the false assumption that the highest quality plan is going to be the one that costs the most. That isn't necessarily true.
Joseph Martingale
I like things that are not necessarily completely symmetrical ... but if there's a little asymmetry in something, it suddenly moves, your eye catches it, and I think it catches your attention more.
Angela Cummings
The first divorce in the world may have been a tragedy, but the hundred-millionth is not necessarily one.
Anatole Broyard
It's not necessarily to speculate on rates at this level. It's more risk management.
Mustafa Chowdhury
Customers tell us there's a perceived impression that it's faster. Our research seems to indicate that's not necessarily the case. But it's like everything else, you're in control of your fate.
John Vigeland
Sales have not necessarily lived up to everyone's expectations since launch.
Takashi Sensui
We have kids out there who may not necessarily be at the top of the academic scale, but they are making positive contributions in many other ways, too.
Bobby Bailey
The point is to get it right, not necessarily to get it done early.
Craig Martin
It's not necessarily inappropriate to build new towns, but it's an issue that requires discussion and thought -- way beyond trying to craft something for an individual development.
Janet Bowman
Budgets are not necessarily just about cutting back or saving money but just monitoring your money is important. This shouldn't stop him going out or buying clothes, say, but if Justin can put by a set amount each month to spend on these luxuries, he will be much less likely to overspend.
Susan Hannums
I don't necessarily feel that we need to have it as a conference _ I don't need a conference mug or letterhead with a conference logo. It's getting a competitive schedule, a balanced schedule, and creating some awards and recognition that all players in independent basketball should get.
Aaron Johnston
The quicksilver of creativity will not be solidified by legal pronouncement; it will necessarily flow into new and sometimes frightening fields.
Matthew Tobriner
Beating a No. 1 seed isn't necessarily an upset, though. Some years, a lot of teams are about the same.
Larry Larson
It's not necessarily a dot.com play, but seems like an effort to get into publishing.
Ken Cassar
While breaking the $4 billion mark is noteworthy, 2005 can best be described as a good but not necessarily great year for Oregon agriculture.
Larry Burt
The problems are not necessarily inherent in the equipment itself, but in the initial intersection of the new technology and the people who use it.
Michelle Shafer
St. Helena has a lot of confidence. They're playing good baseball. We had to put a number up in the first inning to put doubt in their mind. I don't know if we necessarily put doubt in their mind but it set the tempo for us.
Allen Rossi
[Such a close affiliation with the mechanics of cooking, however, does not necessarily rub off.] I actually am not a particularly good cook, ... But I'm a great diner.
Peter Cameron
Those are all the kinds of skills you can test pretty easily in a document-based question, but not necessarily in a multiple-choice exam.
Gary Warren
The announcement is hardly surprising, but I wouldn't necessarily regard it as definitive. I don't assume that the Sovereign board can unilaterally make these decisions.
Orin Kramer
It's not necessarily punishment. It's a wake-up call. We have to get back to Kentucky basketball.
Bobby Perry
It wasn't necessarily the same (players) making them, either. They spread it around a lot. That's a good team that beat us. Give them all the credit in the world. They deserve it.
John Milliken
Cisco, Motorola and Nokia have the money, but not necessarily the need.
William Becklean
One product can get you on the map but it doesn't necessarily keep you on the map.
Linda Miller
There wasn't any hollering necessarily. We told them to use this experience to get better. We hadn't played particularly poorly. We just had a letdown. Our concentration level may have gone down a bit.
Terry Posey
If you are serious about stopping people before things take off, then necessarily your evidence is going to be more ambiguous.
Andrew Mccarthy
I'm not necessarily for them, but I'm not against them either.
Barbara Welch
We had two fouls to give, so we tried to foul, we did foul, but they didn't call those fouls when we ran right into their point guard. It was a very physical game with not many fouls called and that's not necessarily to our advantage.
Dean Serbus
Anybody who's spending that kind of dollars is doing it with some kind of knowledge base of heavy oil. That doesn't necessarily mean Canadian heavy oil, but they're likely in the Canadian heavy oil space already.
Tom Ebbern
I don't think it's necessarily right.
Jacki Gemelos
While the practice is not necessarily widespread, there are a lot of them.
Diana Oblinger
This is not necessarily a time for investors to put all their money behind their idea right now. A lot could happen.
David Darst
A bare assertion is not necessarily the naked truth.
George Dennison Prentice
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
Tom Wilson
I had my reservations. I don't necessarily support the war, but I do support him.
Susan Hampton
Certainly buying a high price athletic shoe is not necessarily a consumer staple.
Jamelah Leddy
Lots of barns out here to hide in. And these are people who don't necessarily want to be found. They still have a lot of pride.
Dottie Kastigar
We'll continue talks with [them]. This doesn't necessarily shut the door on their future with the Rays.
Andrew Friedman
A lot of the home video companies are not familiar with the classics. They're not aggressive with marketing them, and trying to figure out which ones they should put out. They don't necessarily have the background. I don't want to see the fourth or fifth reissue of an '80s comedy in a new box.
George Feltenstein
In the last six bids for summer and winter Olympics, the leading candidate going in hasn't necessarily come out on top.
Bob Richardson
They are not necessarily 'pathologic,' ... but they are a concern.
Robert Phillips
They won't be free to choose the people they would necessarily want in their government ... There will be a lot of horse-trading going on.
Geoffrey Rudd
We're in the range of 1,500 acts. But that's just the official artists. . . . It's not like we said, 'You know, we should have more.' Because more isn't necessarily better. But we had to grow. Look at the number of applications we had this year.
Brent Grulke
Frankly, I'm a little bit concerned about the fact that nothing is particularly controlled [online]. You don't necessarily want to appear everywhere.
Jennifer Gray
Having a national tobacco monopoly is a challenge, not because the national monopoly is going to necessarily thwart control efforts, but they will stand in the way of the government seeing this as a development issue.
Burke Fishburn
Losing a pound isn't necessarily a reward. Being healthy and feeling good about yourself is the reward.
Nancy Peterson
This isn't necessarily a windfall.
Gail Reese
The main concern we have in the civil rights community isn't necessarily that that DOJ brought this case. It's that the department is not bringing meritorious cases on behalf of African-American and Native American voters.
Jon Greenbaum
We are offering a professional package for people who don't necessarily have a design background.
Nick Davies
Consumers should be aware that having 'hybrid' in the name doesn't necessarily mean the vehicle will be green.
James Kliesch
Investors are not convinced (the deal) will necessarily go through, or at least as two firms as we know them today with the full (product) line-up.
Mirko Mikelic
Having four or five institutions drop out and then have two new ones step in is not necessarily the answer.
David Towne
I don't know if beating them in the fourth overtime like that was necessarily a good thing for us. It made it seem like we had done it, when we actually hadn't.
Brandon Stephenson
When I make albums, I do a lot of songwriting but not necessarily a whole album.
Luis Fonsi
Not necessarily conscription, but conscription if necessary.
William Lyon Mackenzie King
We weren't necessarily looking for a female singer, but we found her.
John Ernst
Our effort was pretty good in humid conditions, which makes the legs a little dead. So our times weren't necessarily where we wanted them to be at, but at the same time, we competed and finished hard.
Brian Lowery
There are other areas where Congress can look to control costs and expenses. It's not necessarily quid-pro-quo that the money will come out of other coastal or water projects.
Anthony Pratt
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.
Marshall McLuhan
It's not necessarily a sign of our aging population, ... It's simply an effort to avoid injuries to partners.
Sally Johnson
The focus is on organic development, not necessarily acquisitions, but if opportunities arise, we will look at them.
Domenico Scala
I've been a victim of just about every kind of circumstance there is, ... I could write a book on how to get cut in the NFL. It's never necessarily been because I haven't performed.
Joe Nedney
What we're seeing is an extension of PCs. We're probably going to see those companies with PC exposure get penalized by association with the PC market. That's not necessarily fair across the board, but the bigger the exposure to PCs, I would say the bigger the uncertainty that there won't be a problem.
Dan Scovel
In the end their appeal is not necessarily the history, but the quality of the story-telling, and a good story transcends national boundaries.
Bernard Cornwell
Financial freedom is so intertwined with what a person wants to achieve in life. It doesn't necessarily mean never having to work again, but instead has more to do with realizing your own dreams.
Ron Pearson
Brothers don't necessarily have to say anything to each other-they can sit in a room and be together and just be completely comfortable with each other.
Leonardo Dicaprio
We've been pushing instant messaging because it allows instant communication between people who are not necessarily available by other means.
Jonathan Anderson
I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up. But I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here.
Clay Aiken
No, I wouldn't equate it totally to dollars necessarily. Just like there are years some people may feel a certain conference is maybe a little better than the ACC, that doesn't mean their television dollars are going to equate to our television basketball dollars necessarily.
John Swofford
When you're around with a camera, necessarily you are changing things, just by observing them. The goal, for me, was not to change things very much. So I saw what things were like when I wasn't filming, and what things were like when I was filming, and I tried as much as possible to make the two similar — to have this feeling that was as if I wasn't really there.
James Longley
It doesn't necessarily mean a building moratorium, but it's severe enough we need to look at additional permitting.
Kurt Harclerode
The line has got to be drawn in relation to things that might cause acts of terrorism; it's not necessarily a proven link - if the risk is high enough.
Lord Falconer
He's still just a baby, but he's got a lot of heart. He can set the pace, but I think he's versatile. I don't think he's going to develop into a horse that necessarily has to be on the lead.
Helen Pitts
It's a situation when even though I'm counsel on record. . . . I am not necessarily the attorney Mr. Dandridge listens to.
Terry Christian
Getting faster and faster and faster isn't necessarily meeting the experience. You can go too fast, and then it's just messy.
Mike Watson
It's not necessarily going to be kid-friendly, but we don't swear just for the sake of swearing. The joke is happening around the swearing; it's not about the swearing.
Samir Mathur
Are not necessarily afraid of that permitting process.
Craig Stevenson
A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order.
Jean luc Godard
It isn't necessarily about 'does my future have a relationship in it? Is there love out there for me?' It's about having a new life and being inspired to live it.
Karen Chapman
If you're making the choice between Kleenex and Puffs, you can debate which one has more aloe in it. But when you're a no-name brand, it's hard to get people to look at you. Right now, people don't know Gifford Miller's name - and if they know his name, they don't necessarily know what's behind it.
Norman Adler
It is unquestionable that Sony's code has gotten into military and government networks, and not necessarily just U.S. military and government networks.
Dan Kaminsky
The assumption is that if choice is good, more choice is better. That's not necessarily true.
Barry Schwartz
Everybody is delighted about this. It's not that people do not want to go to V5R4. It's just that they can't all necessarily get there immediately.
Ian Jarman
There's lots of things I'm reading, more and more emails out there refuting it, saying it is not necessarily true.
Bob Patterson
You have the feel but not necessarily the same level of challenge.
Bill Ranguette
It's not necessarily replacement of your loan cost. It's replacement based on the value of your automobile.
Bobby Ann Clark
For the vast majority of believers today, Scripture is a route to God but not necessarily the destination.
Bruce Feiler
What we're delivering is more than just hardware. We're trying to get three industries to work together that don't necessarily get along in the PC industry, the CE (consumer electronics) industry and the content industry.
Kari Skoog
The fix doesn't necessarily have to be on the Social Security side but may be on the tax or budget side.
Ron Gebhardtsbauer
The results for a lot of these (Internet) companies will be good from a top-line view. But I don't know that it follows that the stock will necessarily perform better.
Mark Cavallone
I'm looking for consistency. I'm looking for solid production -- and that doesn't necessarily mean scoring.
Stan Heath
To have a naturally started fire in a natural area with plenty of species that are dependent on fire isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Julena Campbell
Index funds really deliver what they promised, and you don't necessarily get that with an active manager.
Gus Sauter
It wasn't necessarily pretty. But she's willing to try that.
Kirk Nelson
We kept playing harder as the game went on, that's something you have to do. You have to believe you're going to come back. We weren't necessarily playing well but we played harder and that gave us a chance.
Reggie Witherspoon
Each mandate doesn't cost very much necessarily ... but when you add up 49 mandates, the aggregate cost is pretty high.
Carl Gipson
As far as I know, there's 16 players that aren't going anywhere. That doesn't necessarily mean they will all be back with us. But it looks pretty good for next year.
Sean Carney
Muslims come from all political parties, ranging from the Bloc and the NDP (to) the Liberal party. They make up their minds based on what is good for Canada, not necessarily is good for the Canadian Islamic Congress.
Tarek Fatah
A food is not necessarily essential just because your child hates it.
Katharine Whitehorn
Contrary to general belief, I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first.
Peter Ustinov
Do not be fooled into believing that because a man is rich he is necessarily smart. There is ample proof to the contrary.
Julius Rosenwald
We're hoping to help a segment that's already shopping at our stores but wasn't necessarily finding what was essential to them.
Gail Lavielle
Health-wise, we're all pretty good, which hasn't necessarily been the case lately. It's been unusual-I don't know if it's the cold weather or maybe just bad luck.
Conor Niland
We pay for things not necessarily covered by the Bryan-College Station budget.
Charles Smith
As God delights in his own beauty, he must necessarily delight in the creature's holiness which is a conformity to and participation of it, as truly as (the) brightness of a jewel, held in the sun's beams, is a participation or derivation of the sun'.
Jonathan Edwards
I want further tests done, I want to be able to ask questions of the doctors and get answers because the answers I was getting from the DSS are not necessarily untrue, but they did not have the medical knowledge to give the correct answers.
Allison Avrett
I definitely think LeapFrog is putting a lot behind this. I don't necessarily think it's a make or break product for the company, but it's a big opportunity.
Anita Frazier
The strategy to embrace, extend, and extinguish has not necessarily gone away.
Simon Phipps
It's not necessarily about what career you pick. It's about how you do what you do.
Cory Doctorow
We're just starting these conversations. It's not necessarily something that will happen.
Larry Fletcher
He's learned that the election is over - and now he's free to acknowledge that course change doesn't necessarily mean a mistake.
Rich Galen
At this time we're not necessarily just starting from scratch, but we have a lot of experience coming back.
Brad Ekwerekwu
Handing a laptop to kids isn't necessarily going to be a magic bullet for improving student learning.
Laura Barrett
We live in an island environment and termites are part of that environment. Even if there are some termites in a pole, it does not necessarily mean it's not sound.
Lynne Unemori
(Jones) is an absolute load down low. But Drew does so many things to disrupt things. He doesn't necessarily have to score.
Brian Eagleson
Flexibility does not necessarily equate to great pay.
Dr. Pat Hedberg
Students do not have many role models who use language well. They are very much into rap and movies that don't necessarily use standard English.
Marilyn Jackson
I thought from beginning to end, that was a very complete game. We've had complete games in terms of our intensity and focus before, but we haven't necessarily done it on offense and defense.
Aaron Johnston
You have to care. You can't do good work if you don't care. That's not necessarily a strength, but it gives you strength.
William Albert Allard
I am aware that my musical style is not necessarily to the taste of all of you. I've got a heightened 'boredom factor' if music gets too redundant.
Wendy Carlos
It wasn't harder for me to direct than it was for me to run the company, which wasn't necessarily what came naturally to me.
Brian Henson
The new rules are not necessarily unfair.
John Major
You can apply for it, but you're not necessarily going to get it.
David Irons
Ever since I was a little girl, I envisioned this exactly happening to me. Not necessarily doing a movie about strippers, but being young and having somebody like a director like Michael see me, and see something in me, and take a chance. And have a process like we have had.
Charlotte Ayanna
It's in our hearts. It's not a role that we necessarily wanted.
Richard Leger
I have to tell you that I do not necessarily agree with a lot of the day-to-day decisions that are being made here.
Sandra Richmond
This is a tool, the exhibition is a tool for teaching evolution. It's not necessarily that we're shying away from intelligent design or creationism, but that's not what we do.
Todd Tubutis
Just because other schools and counties are doing it, it doesn't mean we necessarily have to follow it. We need to do what's best for the children in our area.
Brenda Duos
The ability to hear and the direction of gaze aren't necessarily linked. It's exciting to find that the circuits in the brain that control gaze direction affect how the brain processes auditory information.
Daniel Winkowski
This ended all the speculation. We know what the answer is. But the combination of USA Networks and Lycos was not necessarily what the Street was expecting.
Paul Merenbloom
If you don't practice situations beforehand in which you have to defend your lead, you won't necessarily know what to do in match situations.
Jake White
If there is pain in my life or something that is wrong. I try to go to that place in me and write from there. I don't necessarily write about the issue, but I write from the emotion.
Jeneane Sessum
I would be disingenuous if I said I wasn't concerned, ... I think the capacity additions I've read about may not necessarily prove profitable for those that are entering those markets.
Gerard Arpey
I think the issue was the location of the jail. I don't believe it was necessarily the amount of money that it would cost to build the justice center.
Sheriff David Haggard
It allows you to express words and thoughts that aren't necessarily permitted in everyday conversation.
Kathleen Schaben
There was a musical vision that wasn't locked into one place. It's a musician's band. We weren't necessarily trying to be a household name so much than make a name within the musical community and shape those things that influenced us.
Billy Payne
It leads to the conclusion that he did not necessarily persevere in his study.
Peter Ackroyd
What puts someone on guard isn't necessarily the fear of being found out.
Terry Gross
This doesn't necessarily mean Alex is leaving Arkansas. Arkansas is still very much in the mix, but he's in the process of evaluating what's best for his future.
Chris Mortensen
His game isn't necessarily to strike guys out. It's to keep the ball down and have our defense make plays, and we made some pretty nice plays.
Tony Gerharz
It doesn't necessarily mean that this time is going to be the same, it means that probably this group is not bent on killing her necessarily.
Lorenzo Vidino
I'm not in any way implying that you should agree with me. I don't even know if I'm necessarily taking a position.
Jay Bennish
How much are they able to capture your imagination and your heart? Being tall doesn't necessarily do it.
Cesar Pelli
A beat officer is just about constantly responding to calls, and not necessarily on his beat.
Cmdr. Lee Vance
We don't anticipate that Governor Taft is necessarily going to respond to this campaign without the assistance of members of the General Assembly.
David Zanotti
Signals like this flash a red light, but they don't necessarily mean anything.
Gareth Williams
They are not necessarily as sensitive to very small leaks at any one time.
Daren Beaudo
We didn't necessarily expect to win, but we knew we could beat them. But to win like that was unexpected. It was amazing.
Lauren Dusin
The idea that you can listen to all the music you want, see the title of the song and the artist, is a great benefit. It's a wonderful thing to not necessarily have to listen to the commercials or banter if that's not what you're into.
Chuck Taylor
It feels good, but from the beginning we just wanted to win. We didn't necessarily care how we did it; we just wanted to get it done.
Tina Thompson
She likes to go for cocktail length dresses. She'll probably wear something a little longer for the Oscars; though not necessarily floor length.
Galina Espinoza
There are many hazards that are not necessarily meteorological, but that are induced by hydro-meteorological conditions...that can be observed.
Maryam Golnaraghi
I don't think it's necessarily that bad if Denmark stays out. I don't think there will be a huge fallout in Danish markets.
Steve Barrow
I'm not sure the Catholic population necessarily goes along with everything that comes down from on high. Look at the debate over abortion and birth control.
Ira Mehlman
Kevin did a good job. We also did well inside. We got good games from Cory Jordan and Jared King — not necessarily scoring but defending inside so that we could spread out on the shooters.
Beau Thompson
