Denise Richards

#15. Toby Keith writes songs like 1993's "Should've Been a Cowboy," and what's compelling is that you can't deconstruct its message. "Should've Been a Cowboy" is not like Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive," where Jon Bon Jovi claimed to live like a cowboy; Toby Keith wants to be a cowboy for real.

#20. I have played for Real Madrid, which is such a big club and where the pressure is so huge because you have to go and, really, win absolutely every game. There is no game where people don't expect you to win. So, having played there for three years, pressure is nothing that would scare me.

Mesut Ozil

[J]ust so we won[']t stop trying.

Tanya Egan Gibson

#22. You need to march your doubt out into a field and put a .357 round in the back of its head. Let its death soak into the earth, grow the wheat, make bread from its blood. Because, for real, fuck doubt. Fuck doubt right in its wax-clogged ear.

Chuck Wendig

Francoise Gilot

#31. but who gives a crap? There's no need, just vandalize their crops by stealing and not giving back. Not recommended for real life though.

Victor Pinchuk

#39. As readers, we sense when the game is being played for real and when something else is afoot: pride, showmanship, the pursuit of power, self-aggrandizement, revenge, making money. Not that there's anything wrong with any of that, but I dislike closing a book with the sense that I've been had.

Stacey D'Erasmo

#40. Our scars make us know that our past was for real

Jane Austen

#41. Basic economic theory. People behave differently based on how much they think something's worth. Because everyone got their chips for free, people made huge bets on every hand - no matter what they were holding. People who play with everything on the line - for real - don't act like that.

#42. B*tches come and go but friends are for real.

Rachel

Theodore C. Sorensen

#46. While there's no substitute for real experience, I believe it helps to hear and share stories of resourcefulness in action - almost like case studies in school.

Justin Verlander

#48. One day I was asked to pick up $50,000 worth of gold chains for Mr. T. For real!

Stacey Snider

Jack Canfield

Ralph Waldo Emerson

#59. Life is not always easy. And that is a major reason why it is so precious. Many of life's best rewards are possible only because you must work your way through difficult challenges to get to them. If everything in life were easy, there would be no opportunity for real fulfillment.

Ralph Marston

#60. You have to look life straight in the eye. De-mystify your world. Can you really afford to believe magic is for real? Not when time is concerned.

Harvey MacKay

#61. On Earth, we have a continuous influx of young people who are willing to change because they haven't had time to grow hard set in their ways. I suppose there's some optimum. A life long enough for real accomplishment and short enough to make way for youth at a rate that's not too slow.

Isaac Asimov

#62. The trouble with life was that you didn't get a chance to practice before doing it for real.

#64. It is your enemies who keep you straight. For real use one active, sneering enemy is worth two ordinary friends.

E.W. Howe

#70. I used to play football for Real Madrid, and to be on stage for two hours, I can tell you it takes the same amount of strength.

#77. I always tell people that if you gave me a pen and a piece of paper when I was a teenager and said, "Write out how you'd like your career to go," I would have probably short changed myself compared to what it's been for real. I'm just extremely excited about what I've accomplished.

Patrick David Wall

#81. I did the wrong thing, and I lost him for real.
But did you do the wrong thing? Jamie thinks it was the wrong thing. But do you?

Louise Rozett

#82. For someone like me who, as a kid, walked to school muttering little political speeches to myself, it was irresistible to finally get a chance at political life for real. When the people of Etobicoke-Lakeshore elected me their MP, it changed me forever.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

#90. Obscenities are too often used for shock value, as a kind of shorthand for real expression of emotion. You've got to scale down your monstrosities. A scream is not a discovery.
