I didn’t get a formal introduction to horror until right about the age of 12, when my uncle showed me ‘Twilight Zone: The Movie.’ When you’re 12 years old, and you see that – oh, God. I devoured as many horror movies and novels as possible. Josh Malerman
My introduction of Whitney was that if there’s going to be one performer for the next generation who combined the beauty and lyric phrasing of a Lena Horne with those Gospel fiery roots of an Aretha Franklin, it would be Whitney Houston. Clive Davis
It’s much easier to get a reception from someone if there is an introduction versus randomly trying to get in front of people. Brad Feld
In the original introduction to the word meme in the last chapter of ‘The Selfish Gene,’ I did actually use the metaphor of a ‘virus.’ So when anybody talks about something going viral on the Internet, that is exactly what a meme is, and it looks as though the word has been appropriated for a subset of that. Richard Dawkins
At the English Revolution, when William of Orange came to the throne, the introduction of French wines into the country was prohibited, and this gave a great impetus to the manufacture of cyder and care in the production of cyder of the best description. Sabine Baring-Gould
Toy Soldiers was my introduction to film. I certainly didn’t think I was doing art by any stretch of the imagination. Tim Robbins
In some ways, I lament the introduction of civilisation on such a huge scale, because it has given us a lot of room to abuse each other, which we continue to do. Roy Harper
Believe it or not, my introduction to scary literature was ‘Pinocchio.’ My mother read it to me every day before naptime when I was three or four. The original ‘Pinocchio’ is terrifying. R. L. Stine
The book grew out of the introduction I did for Brady’s Gates of Janus. I knew that the writing in that introduction had a better than average chance of being read by people involved in Brady’s life – parents of victims, police, Brady himself. Peter Sotos
Amazon creating GameOn could be a very good introduction into competitive gaming. Ninja
In occupied Iraq, the introduction of new paper money took almost a year, 20 or so Boeing 747s, the mobilisation of the U.S. military’s might, three printing firms, and hundreds of trucks. Yanis Varoufakis
My favorite book in life is ‘A Wrinkle In Time,’ which I read before high school. It was my first introduction into the meeting of science and spirit and the universe and big thoughts and all of those interesting New Age-y concepts. It made everything make sense to me and opened up my mind. Mae Whitman
At one time I thought the Editor of the Lancet would kindly publish a letter from me on the subject, but further reflection led me to doubt whether so insignificant an individual would be noticed without some special introduction. William Banting

My introduction to dissociation had been at Kenneth Cooper’s clinic in January of 1975. Cooper had assembled a gaggle of top American distance runners and a half dozen top researchers, the intent being to figure out what the difference was – physiologically, biomechanically, psychologically – between elite and subelite runners. Don Kardong
My older brother had a lot of Elvis on vinyl, and really, that was my first introduction to music during the Fifties. Kiki Dee

We will work on maximizing the introduction of energy conservation and renewable energy, while lowering our dependence on nuclear power generation as much as possible. Yoshihide Suga

When I was 14 years old, I was talking about much more mature things because of the writers that I had at the time. My first album was tied into what the culture was at that moment, which was Jodeci, Al B. Sure, Puff, The Hitmen. I reaped the benefits of being part of Bad Boy’s movement. That was my introduction. Usher
My introduction to track racing was through the background of cross country running, which is not a sport perhaps as popular in America as it is in England. Roger Bannister

When I came out in ’95, even though it was part of the storyline, I was known as the next evolution of Andre, the next giant. I was that young, athletic, trash-talking monster. That was my introduction to the industry, and I was able to build on that. Big Show
Innocent parents might have thought that a musical cartoon version of a fairy tale would be a child’s ideal introduction to movie magic. Yet Walt Disney taught moral lessons in the most useful way: by scaring the poop out of the little ones. Richard Corliss
The people, the culture… there’s so much magic in Colombia, so I feel like being a kid, being able to have that, being able to also call Colombia my home, it was such an important part of my introduction as an artist, too, because it’s such a big part of my life as a human being. Kali Uchis
When the audience first sees Cooper talking into his tape recorder at the beginning of ‘Twin Peaks,’ I think that’s the greatest introduction to a character I’ve seen in my career.

I remember my mom had a big collection of copies of Saturday Evening Post magazines, and that was really my introduction to those great illustrators. Thomas Kinkade

Justin Cartwright

Intended to serve as an introduction to both the linguistic and also the practical study of spoken English. Henry Sweet

Swipe fees have increased steadily since the introduction of debit cards 20 years ago, when there were no swipe fees at all. Merchants can’t negotiate or control them. They’ve tried, but they have no leverage against the big banks and issuers. So they get ignored. Peter Welch
My first introduction to African music was by my mother, who bought the ‘Pata Pata’ album by the great Miriam Makeba when it came out. Now that is an album. What a voice. Henry Rollins

The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness. Lao Tzu

I enjoyed the promotion with K9 on my introduction day. Lalla Ward

‘Reinventing the Bazaar,’ by John McMillan, is a great and fun introduction to the wild variety and importance of markets throughout history and around the world. I finally understood how a Middle Eastern souk actually works economically and how to compare that to modern-day telecom-spectrum auctions. I love that book. Adam Davidson
‘Dawson’s Creek’ was my introduction to the industry. It put some money in my pocket and it put me in the position I wanted to be in, where I could audition for projects that I wanted to be a part of. I didn’t find it creatively fulfilling in any way though. Michael Pitt
