I don't want to put words in his mouth. I'm just saying his comments before certainly factor into this discussion and the constitutionality of this bill.

Carol Lear
Celebrities don't seem to care as much about looking bad anymore. In the old era, people would be very careful endorsing any products making it look like they were out there to prostitute their name. Celebrities have a different M.O. these days, and there's nothing subtle or sophisticated about it.

Martin Smyth
We're like actors, turned loose in this world to wander in search of a phantom, endlessly searching for a half formed shadow of our lost reality.

But this doesn't mean they will prevent rigging this time. Rigging can still take place, perhaps not in the same overt way, but in a more subtle fashion.
Muhammad Habib
Some people surrender their freedom willingly but others are forced to surrender it. Imprisonment begins with birth. Society, parents they refuse to allow you to keep the freedom you were born with.

Jim Morrison
I have never been a serious person.... I am not serious at all because existence is not serious. It is so playful, so full of song and so full of music and so full of subtle laughter. It has no purpose; it is not business-like. It is pure joy, sheer dance, out of overflowing energy. .
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Not only will this lead to confusion on the part of the students, but this is a not-so-subtle way of hiding the substantial influence of religion in the history of Western civilization.

Martin Cothran

Tony Danza

Jeffrey Wright
I think there's been an Angela Merkel -factor, as well as something more subtle happening.

You want to find more and more of the one-on-one kind of marketing approaches - much more close, intimate to the consumer. These subtle passions you try to reach out to.
Tony Ponturo
Actions do speak louder than words and they need to perform on the pitch. I was never a big believer in making outrageous statements - just little subtle hints here and there.

Sam Zarifi
I don't dash it off. I spend dozens or hundreds of hours to get a result that is very subtle, rich and mysterious. It forces me to be very selective. I think about an image for a year or more sometimes.
Holly Downing
People don't understand the subtle ways he helps our defense, ... We were fourth in the league in sacks last year. When we blitzed, we never had to worry about leaving Keith in single coverage, because he can cover just about anybody.
Wade Phillips

Junichiro Kawaguchi
To me, Congress would have been wise to say 'If you build a system that approximates the balance of rights with copyright itself, we'll protect it. If you go overboard, you are on your own,' ... It would have been a harder act to create because it would have had a gray zone ... but that's what we pay legislators to do -- to write subtle legislation.
Jonathan Zittrain
It's weird. There are these little subtle changes that kind of go into looking significantly younger than you really are.
John Hensley
As we get the plan solidified, you're going to see things start happening. Some you will physically see, and some will be more subtle. The physical bricks and mortar takes longer, because it does cost money.
Sharon Nichols
Those subtle differences (in returns of index funds) make a big difference over the long term.
Scott Cooley
Advertising is far from impotent or harmless; it is not a mere mirror image. Its power is real, and on the brink of a great increase. Not the power to brainwash overnight, but the power to create subtle and real change. The power to prevail.

Jamie Golladay

Richard Ford
I use subtle flavors that if you are looking for it, you'll find it. I do things in the back that the customers may or may not notice. They just know it tastes good.
Darrell Jensen
Although Jackson Hole is renowned for both steep and deep, it also has plenty of terrain for the entire family. No crowds (the mountain records only 300,000 to 400,000 skier visits each season), big mountain, epic snow and no major city within 4 hours are a few of the subtle differences that let you know you've stepped out of Colorado.
Anna Olson
Whatever their limitations, Freud and Marx developed complex and subtle theories of human nature grounded in their observation of individual and social behavior. The crackpot rationalism of free-market economics merely relies on an abstract model of how people 'must' behave.
