Christoph Wolff

They represented the last great seismic shift in popular culture.

In the Soviet Union, errors led to popular discontent among other reasons due to the bad performance of the economy.

Francisco Soberon

There are so many exhibitions now, ... particularly in this very popular area of 19th-century French painting, that you're always in competition with other people. And if you can really turn up and make your case, it really makes a big difference from just writing the letters.

Ann Dumas

They are so popular right now. They're seen almost as a fashion accessory, like earrings or the cat's eye. Right now, the focus is on lips.

Gene Bleymaier

He was popular and a well-liked young man here.

Dave Scott

Jazz is the one and only style to be created in the U.S. without outside help. One of the reasons (jazz) isn't as popular is people aren't exposed to it. Once people learn about it, it's an eye-opening experience.

Monika Herzig

I felt a responsibility to present a viable alternative to the popular electric sound.

Aaron Carter

Story ballets are always very popular with our family audience. I think many people have found it to be the perfect opportunity to bring their children to a full length ballet. We're expecting close to a sold-out house for this event.

Laura Sullivan

The alligator's popular, ... We're the only Cajun booth out here, and people like Cajun food.

After I won the Oscar, my salary doubled, my friends tripled, my children became more popular at school, my butcher made a pass at me, and my maid hit me up for a raise.

Shirley Jones

It definitely helps us. Prince Charles is not popular at all. There's definitely a problem with him, and we'll take advantage of that.

This is very popular for the little ones who aren't big enough to do other things. It's darling.

Bill Nader

For this year's event we're focusing on offering guests a fresh experience that combines popular program elements from previous years with exciting and lively additions.

They recognized the importance of the same-sex marriage decision. We're a bit of an egalitarian state, and we don't like elites making these decisions for us ... courts don't have the legitimacy it seems to me that a popular vote would have.

Joseph Fuiten

We lost a friend, almost a person. He has helped make the track as popular as he is -- not only in Louisiana, but Texas people, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Mississippi. We want to name a race after him and we want to bury him on the track.

These cost savings vary significantly by offshore location. Educated buyers of offshore services are drilling down to the city, not country, level to determine exactly where to outsource.

Richard Gibbs

They've always had a distinctive look accented by a strong use of color, but also by innovative fabrics, use of design that always made it very popular with parents of small children. I think they just got away from some of the innovative parts of it. They got stuck on color, and the use of color just got to be something that passed its peak.

Dorothy Lakner

It's just not as popular as is used to be.

Karen Bell

If there are signs that Americans bow to the gods of advertising, there are equally indications that people find the gods ridiculous. It is part of the popular culture that advertisements are silly.

I was in a band where the lead singer was insanely popular.

Steve Turner

Disney World is our most popular one.

Everyone I know who'd been (there) said (South Africa) was beautiful, the people were beautiful, and it was a nice mixture of Africa and Western culture. I knew from friends that my music was popular (there), so I was excited to go.

John Legend

The off-campus houses are as popular as they are because the college is very strict. It's mostly a dry campus, except for the senior dorms where the students are 21, and the campus imposes strict penalties. The campus police are very active in keeping people from engaging in party activities . . . so the students have to look elsewhere for parties.

Thomas Carlyle

He had already become very popular in the school with his classmates and made many friends.

Kuldip Nayar

The rates we have proposed to Dish are highly competitive relative to what we believe Dish is paying for other networks - including networks that are far less popular - and would not add to Dish customers' costs.

That ad has become as much a part of popular culture as the Energizer Bunny.

They come by and they have fun. We're going to be hosting some parties here and we'll be having events go on throughout the Olympics. We knew it was going to be popular, we didn't think we'd be averaging 1,000 people a day.

Paul Welsh

In our case, we make it a little bit easier and convenient. For example, we anticipate there might be a couple of items that are popular that won't be in stock today. If you find that, you can sign up to be notified by e-mail when we replenish that item.

Jeanne Meyer

The Desperate Housewives scent is guaranteed to be a hit with women everywhere, connecting them in a very personal way to this popular series.

Bruce Gersh

It's probably outstripped sports betting as the most popular area.

Jara Uzenda

Religion is not a popular error; it is a great instinctive truth, sensed by the people, expressed by the people.

Luther Vandross

I am very dubious about whether NHS money that could be spend on things that have been shown to work should be spent on things, however popular they are.

Evan Harris

The proposed agreement ... is fundamentally flawed. It will give one company the ability to raise prices for the most popular domain extension without any industry review or justification.

Eric Rice

Videoconferencing was gaining ground before September 11 and with tighter budgets, it has become even more popular. Price has gone down and bang for the buck has improved.

Eric Rasmussen

Videoconferencing was gaining ground before September 11 and with tighter budgets, it has become even more popular, ... Price has gone down and bang for the buck has improved.

Eric Rasmussen

File sharing has never been more popular than it is now, ... People have heard all the legal threats and admonitions, but that's not enough. They don't believe it.

Eric Garland

Erik Wachtmeister

Comte (pronounced con-tay), is the most popular cheese in France, and when I tasted it, I could understand why.

Emily Hines

Popular nationalism and sometimes the Chinese government's manipulation of the issue, as well as Japan's poor handling of it over the years, sometimes supersede their rational economic interests. It's a dangerous pattern if it gets out of hand. So far it hasn't.

Ellis Krauss

Computer use in our labs is a popular service.

Elizabeth Burden

That's what is popular now, mixing things up so they aren't so predictable.

As long as mixed grills and combination salads are popular, anthologies will undoubtedly continue in favor.

Elizabeth Janeway

It is easy enough to define what the Commonwealth is not. Indeed this is quite a popular pastime.

Dried fruits are becoming more and more popular in cooking. They add a lot of richness to the food without adding fat. So I see more dried fruits, different kinds of fruits in the supermarket these days and I think you can use them really effectively in low fat cooking.

Elizabeth Hiser

The popular belief is that the children are resilient. If we see them running around, people assume that they are coping. But the loss is tremendous that they've endured. It would be misleading for us to think that they will ever get over this.

Elaine Bainard

Commodities seem to be a rather popular alternative (to bonds, equities and the dollar) for funds searching for a trend.

Edward Meir

Isn't that how B movies became popular? ... They would do things that regular cinema didn't.

Edward Seymour

Gift cards are popular because you don't have to buy a gift, ... You just have to know where they like to shop.

Ed Mierzwinski

Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.

Eddie Van Halen

It's definitely popular because people think that everyone is going to be out and they go out to the club to partake. We always ramp it up and push it up a few notches and give it our full abilities. This year is no different. I'm very excited.

Ted Bailey
