I think my gap adds character. A while ago, on the street, a guy yelled, ‘You could stick a gold through your front teeth!’ Which meant I could put a ?1 coin between them. But you can’t. I’ve tried! Fifty-pence coins and 2-pence coins, yes. But not a pound. Georgia May Jagger

Solidarity and competitiveness are the two sides of a European coin. Angela Merkel

Teens say there’s nothing I can do because I have no vote. The truth is, the only vote that matters is how you spend your money and who you give it to. Each coin is giving power. Notice and be careful who you give your power to. Aidan Gallagher

‘Hollywood maids’ are so idiotic. They grin at everything. I told Norman Lear I didn’t want to play a maid because of that ‘hee-hee/grin-grin’ attitude, and he said, ‘Who said I wanted that?’ He told me he wanted two strong women that are the black and white of the same coin. I said, ‘Oh, well – in that case, I’ll be right there!’ Esther Rolle
Like two sides of the same coin, you can’t separate IoT from underlying business processes. Maciej Kranz

I’m a guy who has problems with moderation. All or nothing. Binge and purge. Kill or be killed. Gray is not a color I wear well. I should be dead. I know that. I should not be successful. I know that too. My daily existence is a toss of the coin – one side, fear, the other side, gratitude. Kurt Sutter
I usually have a few coins in my pocket when I’m playing, but the one I use to mark my ball on the green is a special silver coin that my wife designed for me. It has our wedding date inscribed on it. Louis Oosthuizen
With Benghazi, I don’t see anyone saying, ‘Hey look, I am overall responsible for this and therefore, I take responsibility for what happened. It’s my fault.’ I haven’t heard that yet.

I’ve seldom minded other people’s opinions, but the other side of that coin is that I’ve seldom been interested by them, um their opinions about me I mean. Tom Stoppard

Edward Eager wrote a series of children’s books that are in danger of being forgotten.

The magic changes them, they try to change the magic, the magic moves on. Laura Lippman
I come from a time when pop music was the coin of the cultural realm and in a certain way was the only coin of the realm; movies didn’t matter as much, and not TV – it was all about pop music. In the era when I started – which was the early ’60s – it was all about singles leading to albums. Fred Seibert
On the days I’m pitching, it’s almost a coin flip as to know if the guys behind me are going to be there to play 100%. Cory Lidle

There’s a nastiness out there that wants to harm me with words. These are my enemies – the ideologues, the populists, the columnists who don’t like the fact that I take them on toe-to-toe. What I try to do is tell the truth. It’s not the coin of the realm in politics. Ed Koch

Fixing health care and fixing the economy are two sides of the same coin. Ron Wyden
Life is a great university for the unfolding of the mind, for developing character.

Orison Swett Marden
Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument. George Sand

I came up with the term ‘mindfreak’ because I didn’t like the word ‘magician.’ I felt like I wanted to coin a term that would be basically the reaction to my art.

Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You’ve got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I’ve got my Freud mixed up. It’s just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit. Vera Farmiga
What we know about Cleopatra’s looks is based purely on her coin portraits. Engraving was imperfect, and that when you are a ruler and you ask for a coin to be engraved with your likeness on it, you are probably trying to project a certain air of authority. Stacy Schiff
My perspective on life is now to try to play music that reflects that life and death are part of the same coin. And to know about life, we must really examine the function – like death. Life tells you a lot about what death is, not what people say it is. Wayne Shorter
I tell people the first time I decided to write a novel I was in my mid-20s, and it was, ‘Well, it’s time to see if I can do this.’ I basically flipped a coin to see if I was going to write science fiction or if I was going to do a crime novel. The coin toss went to science fiction. John Scalzi
Silver and gold are not the only coin; virtue too passes current all over the world. Euripides
I wanted to be the next Dana Carvey. This was my ultimate goal.

Fear is an underrated emotion. And that’s why I think it’s very dangerous to try and cosset children from it. A healthy scare is as good as as a healthy laugh. In fact, they’re two sides of the same coin. There is a desire to shield from the knocks and bumps of reality. Mark Gatiss
Many Americans simply don’t want the pinheads in Washington or the various state capitals to be telling us how to live. But we are absolutely going in that direction.

I used to keep a coin jar and would cash it in when I was pinched a little, back-in-the-day. I would always be shocked when the amount totaled $200 to $300. John Rampton

The ‘crownd’ is still the unit, the favourite coin of the labourers, especially the elder folk.

Richard Jefferies
Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei and Assad are two sides of the same terror coin. Letting Assad continue to wield lethal power means that Tehran’s terror network – from Hezbollah to the Houthis – will persist in threatening the West. Mike Pompeo
Fantasy is an area where it is possible to talk about right and wrong, good and evil, with a straight face.

Robert Jordan
I’ve got a coin with my face on it. It is really bizarre. Karen Gillan
We can ask ourselves why we invent God, and then, ten minutes later, we invent Satan – why? Because we need him; there’s something fascinating about the other side of the coin. Mads Mikkelsen

Lawrence Kudlow
Bitcoin will hit thousands of dollars per coin, because it’s worth at least that much, or it’s worth zero. Erik Voorhees
German and European unification are two sides of the same coin. Helmut Kohl
I’m no financial expert. I scarcely know what a coin is. Ask me to explain what a credit default swap is, and I’ll emit an unbroken 10-minute ‘um’ through the clueless face of a broken puppet. You might as well ask a pantomime horse. Charlie Brooker
It’s sort of good to see your vocation as a daily task and have fairly modest expectations for financial or reward in other coin – glory, love, whatever. John Updike
There’s no way to reconcile Islam with Christianity. This difference of opinion admits of compromise as much as a coin toss does. Sam Harris
It’s like the American democratic system. When you vote, even if your candidate doesn’t win, you accept that democracy was in action. When people participate in a Tezos network, they’re accepting that the democratic vote of the other coin holders will govern the way the protocol moves. Olaf Carlson-Wee
On the other side of that coin, and far outweighing it, is the fact that I’ve been able to use genre of Fantasy/Horror and express my opinion, talk a little about society, do a little bit of satire and that’s been great, man. A lot of people don’t have that platform. George A. Romero
