There are days when I look at my news feed, and it seems like a social fabric of fun – a video of the first steps of my friends’ baby! My nephew’s prom date! On other days, it feels like a NASCAR vehicle, plastered with news stories, promoted posts, lame Live videos, and random content.
36
Strapping Young Lad is a vehicle for me to be wild and extroverted and ridiculous. It gives me the chance to say, ‘Look at me. I’m a heavy metal guy. I’m Rob Halford or Bruce Dickinson or whoever.’
37

43
On my first mission, I was the spacewalk supervisor: the person that runs the spacewalk from inside the vehicle.

54
When Kennedy said, ‘Let’s go to the moon,’ we didn’t yet have a vehicle that wouldn’t kill you on launch. He said we’ll land a man on the moon in eight years and bring him back. That was an audacious goal to put forth in front of the American people.
55
I feel like when you say ‘activist,’ you have to have so much clarity, and I don’t always necessarily have so much clarity on how I want to help others, I just have this weird, deep urge to help other people. I’m trying to let God guide my body and use it as whatever kind of vehicle or vessel it needs to be.
56
Cultivating literature as I do upon a little oatmeal, and driving, when in a position to be driven at all, in that humble vehicle, the ‘bus, I have had, perhaps, exceptional opportunities for observing their mutual position and behaviour; and it is very peculiar.
57

If you keep having to dip into the story’s past to explain the present, then there’s a good chance your real story’s in the past, and you’re just using the present as a vehicle to deliver us there.
61
When it is important for you to say something and you find a vehicle to say it, then go for it. It is so rare when that happens so I think every minute spent fighting for it is always worth it. Even if nothing ends up happening, it’s still worth the fight.

Hip-hop is a vehicle.
64
When I got out of high school, I was in a blues band.

And that’s what I wanted to be, principally: a guitar player.

77

78
There’s a real community feel in the States and it would probably be frowned upon if you lied about your vehicle’s history here by the car community.
79
Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.
80
A smile is the chosen vehicle of all ambiguities.
81
I have a need to make these sorts of connections literal sometimes, and a vehicle often helps to do that. I have a relationship to car culture. It isn’t really about loving cars. It’s sort of about needing them.
82
I will never forget the first time I was teargassed or the night I hid under my steering wheel as the SWAT vehicle drove down a residential street. I will never forget that it was illegal – in St Louis, in the fall of 2014 – to stand still.
83
T20 is fast-paced and a wonderful vehicle to attract wider audience. On a technical level, it probably has impacted Test cricket.

89
I was once a graduate student in Victorian literature, and I believe as the Victorian novelists did, that a novel isn’t simply a vehicle for private expression, but that it also exists for social examination. I firmly believe this.
90
Democracy no longer means what it was meant to. It has been taken back into the workshop. Each of its institutions has been hollowed out, and it has been returned to us as a vehicle for the free market, of the corporations. For the corporations, by the corporations.
91
Connected vehicle technologies are revolutionizing and democratizing transportation for safer, smarter, more responsible, and more accessible driving.

93
About 100 firefighters a year die in the line of duty in the U.S. Heart attacks on the job and vehicle accidents on the way to the fires account for about half. The other half are traumatic deaths while fighting fires.
94

95
I need to stress that I could not be more supportive of great teachers and great teaching, no matter what kind of delivery vehicle they are teaching through. We have to support great teachers. They just have to be freed up to do what they do best.
96
The guitar is the ultimate vehicle for expression and composition for me. It’s a part of my DNA!
97
I think I use writing as a catharsis. I feel sometimes that I’d like to share that with people, so Instagram becomes a vehicle.
98
Work is sacred. It is not just a way to earn money or gain power, though it may result in both. Work is a vehicle for testing out our gifts and talents and using them to explore their meaning.
99
Unlike the expressionists, I have never been interested in renewing the world through the vehicle of art.
100
Music has that ability to be a magical thing, and I was like, maybe music is the vehicle that transports us to that other world.
101
Brands are spending hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get to young people by using music as the vehicle. Being able to use music data and making it actionable so they can target and speak to these fans, that’s super important.
102
Tennis was always sort of a – a learning. It was a vehicle for me to discover a lot about myself. And the things that I sort of discovered at times I not only didn’t want to see it for myself but I certainly didn’t want millions of people to see it.
103
The day I set foot in Hyderabad, I saw an animal being hit by a vehicle. The city did not have a shelter for the bleeding animal, and I brought it home. In less than a month, our house was home to all kinds of animals – a buffalo with a broken hip, a blind mongoose, goats, dogs, cats.
104
Basically I’m an entertainer and I use football as my vehicle.
105
From the beginning of my career, I’ve used makeup as a vehicle to express my vision, my obsessions, inspirations, and addictions. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing young people recreate some of my iconic looks.
106
The Joker is a tremendous vehicle for talented actors. Cesar Romero’s was a bubbly, lunatic criminal. Nicholson did him as a vain, preening manipulator. Heath’s performance of the Joker was remarkable, too. His was a low-simmering crazy street clown. Joker can be played all these ways, and they’re all true.
107
I encourage everyone operating a motor vehicle to be cognizant and aware of motorcyclists while they are on our highways.
108
The greatest risk in giving our government any power to control our speech is that it would then have a vehicle to prohibit speech that was critical of it.
109
Also, since art is a vehicle for the transmission of ideas through form, the reproduction of the form only reinforces the concept. It is the idea that is being reproduced. Anyone who understands the work of art owns it. We all own the Mona Lisa.
110
If the Olympic Games ever served a true altruistic purpose, they have long since outlived it. Yeah, the pursuit of athletic excellence, sportsmanship and international goodwill is plenty noble. But the modern Olympics are at best a vehicle for agitprop; at worst, a scandal magnet.
111
Zombies are a great rhetorical prop to talk about people and paranoia, and they are a good vehicle for my misanthropy.
112
I make judgments about people and ideas individually – for me, parties are just a vehicle of convenience.
113
We drove for 10 hours on rocky trails out into the central part of Mongolia in a Russian utility vehicle with no shock absorbers. Then we arrived at a remote area where we stayed in a yurt and waited to meet a horse wrangler who was scheduled to bring our rides.
114
I’ve run as a Democrat, but I was not a Democrat. And when I ran as a Republican, I was not a Republican. I was just utilizing the New Hampshire primary as a vehicle to put forward my satirical critique of the system.
115
The more paperwork you can get for your car, the better. If the owner has little or no paperwork you won’t know for sure what work has been carried out previously on the vehicle.
116
Alternatives to gold and currency and to make a big speculative vehicle – I never considered for one second having anything to do with it. I detested it the minute it had been raised.
117
One time, a fan jumped on the back of our vehicle, and without noticing, we drove away. I was pretty frightened, actually.
118
Persistence is half the battle. That’s what I love about independent movies. They don’t have to be made. There’s no studio with an agenda to set up a franchise like ‘Batman’ or to make a vehicle for a celebrity actor. My films are made because I love the process.
119
Before progressives were apocalyptic about climate change they were apocalyptic about nuclear energy. Then, after the Cold War ended, and the threat of nuclear war declined radically, they found a new vehicle for their secular apocalypse in the form of climate change.
120
I look at ‘The New York Review of Books.’ It’s what it has been for 35 or 40 years, which is a highly sophisticated vehicle for anti-American self-hatred.
121
There is the idea that there’s a section of society, these working-class tradesmen, are driving around and they all think the same. Everybody who has tools in their vehicle have all the exact same thoughts: it’s incredibly patronising isn’t it?
122
Just the same way I’d say a prayer before going onstage, taking that even further and using the drum to inspire people. And using that as a vehicle for the intention.
123
Connectivity offers a great opportunity for General Motors. When you look at the investment we have made in OnStar and putting 4GLT in and the access you have to not only put data in, and we haven’t really tapped into the data you can use from the vehicle.
124
Throughout history, clothes represented who you were; they are a great vehicle for explaining who you are. During the Ching dynasty, for example, what you wore and how it was made reflected your status in society. People could literally read your clothes like a book, just by its color and how it was embroidered.
125
Even if we wanted to imbue an autonomous vehicle with an ethical engine, we don’t have the technical capability today to do so.
126
The N.Y.C. tech scene is vibrant, and Betabeat will be a great vehicle to cover it in depth.
127
Songs that are just a vehicle for a guitar solo are very empty, just an excuse for a guitarist to show what scales he practiced last month.
128
There were a series of moments when I decided that art was important, and it was an important vehicle for me to express my interest in spaces.
129
Music is a great vehicle for communications, and I have a certain platform. I have an opportunity and I have to take it.
130
Comedy used to be a vehicle for change. Now, comedy has gotten to this quirky, nonsensical place, which I enjoy. But I do think there is room for discussion-based humor. We can tell those stories in a way that feels edifying.
131
Using the Internet as as vehicle to work with people is fascinating. It’s sort of a Pandora’s box of energy for me.
132
To my parents, Morris and Helen, I give thanks for the gift of life, the vehicle for the expression of my work, and for your continued full and unequivocal support from both sides of the physical plane.
133
If you can use songs as a tool, vehicle for empathy and a deeper understanding of how people are feeling and how people’s emotions work, there’s a lot of good that can come from that.
134
My body is a vehicle for the mechanics of my sport.
135
I believe that a cook in a kitchen isn’t producing an entree: he’s producing a reaction. The product is the reaction; the entree is just the vehicle.
136
I used the Internet as a vehicle to get places not many people did before.
137
Science fiction should not be dismissed as escapism. It is a profound vehicle for talking about social and political issues.
138
Television really has been my vehicle. I don’t get played on the radio much, so I’ve relied on TV a lot.
139
I say that Medicaid isn’t the only vehicle to be able to purchase coverage or be able to have coverage.
140
The cloud is this gigantic computing vehicle that delivers computing services to every single industry.
141
Investment in Shriram will actually enable us to enter some of the retail segments such as vehicle financing, consumer and gold loans, and other products such as insurance, mutual funds, among others, where we wanted to have a footprint.
142
Big game photography in Africa is mainly done from a vehicle, so then I feel I might as well take the lot.
143
The armored vehicle manufacturing base is not a light switch that can be turned on and off at will. If we mothball production of systems like the Abrams tank, it will take time and money to get this capability back.
144
I was obsessed with ‘The Velvet Rope’ for a year straight, letting Janet Jackson’s confessional lyrics lull me to sleep and comfort me when I felt lost. I felt that the album was the vehicle onto which Janet finally expressed her full self.
145
I entered medicine to use it as a vehicle for social change.
146
The Internet is the vehicle we’re driving to share our visuals, outrage, and ideas around the world.
147
Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion – very powerful emotions. That’s what draws millions of people towards it. And, um, I found myself always going for these darker places and – people identify with that.
148
When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda. If I wanted to do that, I’d make documentaries.
149
I am not so old, but when I started out, we had none of this. We did not have the need to show the things we do and the good life we lead. That is dangerous. Social networks can be very positive because it’s a great vehicle to communicate, but perhaps things need to be done in a different way.
150
Everything that’s transported over ground, whether it’s people or parcels, will be impacted by autonomous vehicle technology.
151
Golf was my vehicle to competition, and I can’t play if I can’t compete.
152
I can’t imagine being in a tour bus. It would be nice, but I think it costs $30,000 a week to rent. And I can’t imagine spending what many people make in a year on a vehicle for one week.
153
I had very little exposure to business growing up. I also was very focused on the Civil Rights Movement. And I saw law as a vehicle to really bring about substantial change.
154
When I’m being driven to the reading, my mom doesn’t know who the client is. My assistant, Charlie, does not know who the client is. We follow a lead vehicle… so we don’t know where we’re going.
155
The only time I have a problem is when I have to get in a vehicle after we play and sit there in a cramped position for a couple of hours to drive to the next place. Then I get super stiff.
156
You want your company to be a vehicle for many people to achieve their dreams.
157
Enormous enlargements of an object or a fragment give it a personality it never had before, and in this way, it can become a vehicle of entirely new lyric and plastic power.
158
It sounds loud, but what you’re hearing is the turbo pumps driving at max performance. Once you’re going past the speed of sound it’s really what is on the vehicle that you’re hearing.
159
For Oakley, I’m basically a media vehicle for them to promote the product. For me, it’s both, I get a salary from them, but I also get great products so it just kind of works, continues on.
160
It’s very sad that there’s going to be a hiatus in manned space flight from the U.S. The Shuttle was a fantastic, hugely complex vehicle. It was inevitable it would come to an end, but this is the opportunity for the commercial world to get involved. As the Shuttle era ends, another window of opportunity opens.
161
I think that crime is a good vehicle for looking at society in general because the nature of the crime novel means that you draw on a wide group of social possibilities.
162
Several witnesses describe seeing an altercation in the car between Mr. Brown and Officer Wilson. It was described as wrestling, tug-of-war. Several other witnesses described Mr. Brown as punching Officer Wilson while Mr. Brown was partially inside the vehicle.
163
Women don’t want an overly feminine vehicle – they want to feel secure.
164
The poet, being an imitator like a painter or any other artist, must of necessity imitate one of three objects – things as they were or are, things as they are said or thought to be, or things as they ought to be. The vehicle of expression is language – either current terms or, it may be, rare words or metaphors.
165
I hope that young people will also look to politics as a vehicle to not only have their voices heard, but actually to be the change makers that they want to see. They are disaffected, understandably, but I hope that young people will not only turn out to vote but also run for office.
166
I don’t think there’s anything to be ashamed of about being a woman who loves fashion. Fashion is a vehicle for self-expression, it tells the world who you are and how you want to be seen. If you use it as a canvas for creativity, then you might want to talk about it, you know? And I fully embrace that.
167
I think that Bob Dylan knows this more than all of us: you don’t write the songs anyhow. So if you’re lucky, you can keep the vehicle healthy and responsive over the years. If you’re lucky, your own intentions have very little to do with this.
168
T20 is the vehicle to make cricket a truly global game.
169
We have signed an exclusive licensing agreement with a company called TurnerPatterson, another African-American company, and what I thought would be a great vehicle for ‘Ebony,’ since it is such a strong brand name with tremendous loyalty, is to grow that brand name even more across different areas.
170
I just hate plugs. It just doesn’t seem entertaining to me. I’ve never plugged anything in my life on a talk show ever. I understand people use that vehicle. It’s just not very entertaining.
171
Vehicle donation programs have existed forever, but the typical model loses a lot. There had to be a place to store them, people who could only go out so far regionally to pick them up.
172
‘TableTop’ is packed with gaming celebrities and independent game creators. This is a huge subculture that really doesn’t have a vehicle to rally around or educate people with.
173
What originates everything are the emotions, the feelings, what we call soul. Then the brain commands these feelings to the voice. The voice is just the vehicle; it’s the very last step in the chain.
174
When I was deployed, I could feel a full spectrum of American power keeping me safe. And yes, that was the armor on my vehicle; yes, it was the armor on my body; but it was also the armor of some level of American moral authority.
175
In my personal belief, the big problem with climate change is getting people to understand the magnitude and scale that we’re dealing with. If you buy a vehicle that gets 35 miles to the gallon, that means nothing; it’s not enough. We need to make changes across society and in every piece of the energy pie.
176
We were flying on a winged vehicle that would do reentry different than we had ever done before. So all of those were firsts. Test pilots truly love firsts.
177
To be honest, I haven’t really put much thought into the fact that I am the first woman on a commercial vehicle. I expect to be the first of many, and look forward to the day that we don’t have to note such events.
178
NASA needs to decide, along with Congress, what our destination is going to be, whether it’s going to be the moon, an asteroid or on to Mars. And we’re building a heavy-lift vehicle to get us there and building the capsules that’s going to be needed to carry the crew.
179
I ain’t got time to pay somebody to drive my vehicle.
180
Any small business that’s predicated on technological innovation and is differentiated and superior can expand globally very effectively using the Internet as a vehicle for promotion.
181
You know, a vampire book is not a book to be the vehicle for big themes and stuff, where sometimes when you’re dealing with art or the life of Christ or the oeuvre of Shakespeare, you know, it’s a little more ambitious.
182
I knew that going on ‘One Tree Hill’ was going to be an incredible vehicle for the record. What is amazing about it is that my role on the show is, you know, basically playing a musician, and all the songs she plays are off my record.
183
Now, space has its own unique smell. So whenever a vehicle docks, or if guys are out doing a spacewalk, the smell of space when you open up the hatch is very distinct. It’s kind of like a burning-metal smell, if you can imagine what that would smell like.
184
Terence Trent D’Arby is the vehicle through which Sananda will let his light shine. I don’t know what Sananda means and I have not allowed myself to find out.
185
I keep fit, I work out, I eat pretty damn well, I don’t drink like a fish, and all of those things are tempered with a holistic mind-set that you need to damn well respect the vehicle that you’re walking around in.
186
I’ve always sort of felt like what the Shins is, I guess, is a vehicle for my writing.
187
It becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realize that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality.
188
There is nothing wrong with getting a bus. Nothing in any way demeaning about boarding a huge smelly communal vehicle that will rumble noisily and very slowly in the vague direction of the place you need to get to and then dump you half a mile away in the freezing wind and rain.
189
The Porsche was just a vehicle to get to another place. I used it to change people’s perceptions of me. I had grown up really middle class. USC was filled with elitists, richies who would go skiing every weekend. So I pretended like I was part of that world – to be accepted.
190
Transcendental meditation is like a car, a vehicle that allows you to go within. It’s a mental technique.
191
Well, I think at first, songs were sort of the vehicle which allowed me to be on the stage and get to hold a guitar and get to sing.
192
Speaking nothing of how we often fall short in keeping our promises, we frequently play an unnecessary game of politics with key issues – using must-pass legislation such as disaster relief as a vehicle to sweeten unrelated, contentious bills that may not otherwise pass as stand-alone measures.
193
I think maybe the vehicle for me was ‘Sam Cooke’s Greatest Hits.’ It has a song called, ‘Touch the Hem of His Garment.’ Do you know that song? I kind of got obsessed with that song and started exploring and getting more of his old recordings with the Soul Stirrers and really getting into that super, super deeply.
194
Football has not just been a sport, it’s been a vehicle in my life.
195
I think there needs some attention to be paid to what sport is going to represent to young people: should it be viewed in the competitive, team-oriented sense that it is now, or does it become a vehicle for betting, which may, in effect, change the atmosphere in the stadiums and the arenas?
196
I believe that art has been a vehicle for me that’s been about enlightenment and expanding my own parameters, to give me courage to exercise the freedom that I have in life.
197
Over the years, the tax code has become a vehicle for political favoritism and social engineering.
198
One of the things that I’m very excited about with New Shepard, which is our suborbital tourism vehicle, is using that to get a lot of practice. One of the equilibria that we’re at today with space launch is that we don’t get to practice enough.
199
Detroit is saying that the hydrogen vehicle is the vehicle of the future. But it’s 15 years from now.
200
As astronauts know better than anyone else, risks, incidents, and mishaps are inevitable in the development of any high-performance vehicle. The emergence of supersonic flight during the 1940s and of the Century Series of fighters in the 1950s came with the loss of several test pilots. Still, it was a glorious time.
201
There’s an infectiousness to comedy. It’s meant to be shared and spread, so I feel like any message that you’re talking about through the vehicle of comedy is going to get further than if you just straightforwardly said it.
202
I am not a trained swimmer nor I know how to drive a vehicle.
203
We are all in the Labour party because we want the Labour party to be a vehicle for social change. There is a thirst for debate in the party, and all those who have joined haven’t joined without a purpose.
204
When it comes to spending, I don’t splash out on fancy cars – I never have. I’m not a car man and, in fact, don’t even drive. Although I own a vehicle – it only cost £3,000, and I can’t even tell you the make – friends are kind enough to drive me around. It doesn’t make sense to waste lots of money on cars.
205
We are not the band. I am me. Ralf is Ralf. And Kraftwerk is a vehicle for our ideas.
206
I love Stewart Lee’s ‘Comedy Vehicle’ on BBC2. The guy is a genius.
207
The sale of Treasury bonds, notes, and bills finances the U.S. government, and those securities are, in turn, a primary vehicle for savings for a wide range of U.S. households. Treasury securities are also an important source of collateral within the financial system.
208
Each of us finds his unique vehicle for sharing with others his bit of wisdom.
209
We have vehicles like the Opal Atom that we offer in Europe that offer consumers a huge ability to customize, from the color to the accessories. I’d say it’s our vehicle that’s the most customizable to give it quite a different look and feel.
210
‘Comic book’ has come to mean a specific genre, not a story form, in people’s minds. So someone will call ‘Die Hard’ a ‘comic-book movie,’ when it has nothing to do with comic books. I’d rather have comics be the vehicle by which stories are told.
211
The space shuttle was designed, at least in part, to broaden our knowledge of the universe. To scientists, the vehicle was a tool; to engineers, it was their creation.
212
If democracy is to survive Facebook, that company must realize the outsized role it now plays as both the public forum where our strident democratic drama unfolds and as the vehicle for those who aspire to control that drama’s course. Facebook, welcome to the big leagues.
213
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.
214
In Sierra Leone last year there was just the two of us hanging out of a helicopter and, when we were in Bosnia, I drove an armoured vehicle, thousands of miles.
215
After graduating in engineering I went to the University of Kansas to get an MA in economics as a vehicle for allowing me to decide if I wanted to continue in economics.
216
I know it is common nowadays for artists to start labels but this is a thoroughly constructed vehicle for inspired talent. This is a market that we’ve been living, breathing and eating for our entire lives – one where a huge void currently exists. Favored Nations is a long-term commitment.
217
The military’s own report says that one-third of deaths and casualties could have been avoided if proper body armor and vehicle armor had been provided from the start of the war.
218
‘Toonami’ was a tremendous vehicle, delivering the art of Japanese animation to a massive audience that may have otherwise never experienced it. I feel an immense debt of gratitude to everyone involved with the show and to every fan who supported it.
219
Cooking is just a vehicle to express yourself, like painting and acting… The reason why we’re cooking is not because we want to put something on the plate. It’s so much more complex than that.
220
Why not let the main parties wither? Because I know of no better vehicle than the political party to enable those with common values to come together and reach a position on issues that can then be offered up as a choice of programmes for voters.
221
Sinn Fein has the potential and capacity to become the vehicle for the attainment of republican objectives.
222
I think sci-fi and horror are a perfect vehicle for exploring racism and injustice, the horrors of that. They are real; they are actual; they are tangible. They are also metaphorical and invisible.
223
I played guitar all my life, all the way through the Yardbirds, but I knew that for me, this was going to be a guitar vehicle, because that’s what I wanted it to be. There is no way I would play guitar like a tour de force like I did in Led Zeppelin.
224
Most of us don’t think about miracles that we could possibly do. We don’t have a vocabulary of how God works with the specific things that He does, and we don’t know how to align ourselves with what He is doing so that we can be His vehicle on the earth to deliver a miracle.
225
Vehicle emissions standards directly sparked the development and application of a wide range of automotive technologies that are now found throughout the global automobile market.
226
The United States survives so long as at least one of its major parties is politically and intellectually healthy. I don’t think the Republican Party, or I should say the Republican Party as the vehicle for modern American conservative ideas, survives with Donald Trump.
227
I’d begun to collect things that were lying in piles on the floor of my studio. I had run out of space, and I started to build shelves. I turned around one day and realized that that was the vehicle for carrying so many of the things that I was looking at and talking about, so they went from the walls to the works.
228
We seem to want one vehicle to carry people and soccer balls and hay bales.
229
The fastest manned vehicle in history was Apollo 10. It reached 25,000 mph.
230
I think comedy is the perfect vehicle for that which is slightly beyond life.
