We worry about appearing awkward in a presentation. But up to a point, most people seem to feel more comfortable with less-than-perfect speaking abilities. It makes the speaker more human – and more vulnerable, meaning he is less likely to attack our decisions or beliefs.
186
Oh, I’m full of fear. I care about things; therefore, I have fears. I like to think that I’m brave, which is different. Brave means you’re able to admit that you care. If you care, you are vulnerable.
187
I’m very used to playing the tomboy or the sarcastic cynic. That’s my go-to. Playing the vulnerable of a real girl that’s in real womanlike situations, where it’s romanticized, I’m a little nervous about it.
188
When I don’t get enough sleep, I am cranky, vulnerable to headaches, and my concentration is poor.
189
When you’ve been touched by sadness and grief, it makes you vulnerable. And because I am vulnerable, I try to be positive. And when I say ‘try,’ I really do mean try, because it’s an effort.
190
I never learned to be a writer. I never took screenwriting courses. I never read anyone’s scripts. As a writer, my only guiding principle has been to write about things that scare me, write about things that make me feel vulnerable, write about things that will expose my deepest fears, so that’s how I write.
191
People are all vulnerable in so many different ways. We go into survival mode a lot of times.
192
I come from this macho Italian neighborhood. When I was thirteen, during those real vulnerable, impressionable years, and a boy starts becoming a man, to make that transition, and you start making decisions, and you start developing virtue and principles – I never made the transition.
193
I’m not conventional. I try to be raw and vulnerable and gross.

I think as an actor, you have to make yourself vulnerable to emotions.
195
We have taken the manatees out of the areas in the Caribbean and really elsewhere in the world, and this disruption to the system makes such systems vulnerable to changes as they come by, whether it’s in terms of disease or terms or global warming for that matter.
196
Climate scientists have long pointed to the Southwest as one of the places in the U.S. that is most vulnerable to global warming impacts, especially drought. And if there’s one thing that even climate denialists don’t dispute, dry things burn.
197
The day people around me stop questioning my character is the day my character begins to grow vulnerable.
198
Don’t let men fool you… we all want love; we just know that it can leave us very vulnerable, and we seek a woman who understands and protects that with her life.
199
It is my conviction that becoming economically and socially vulnerable puts you at the mercy of people surrounding you. It is as if you no longer exist as a human being and are no longer worthy of respect.
200
World’s children cannot wait any longer. While international community debates and issues recommendations, statements and fine speeches, world’s children – marginalised, socially excluded, poor and vulnerable – continue to suffer.
201
9/11 changed America fundamentally, far more so than outsiders realised at the time. For Americans, it genuinely was a new Pearl Harbour: an attack on the homeland that made them feel vulnerable for the first time in 60 years.
202
Let’s continue to stand up for those who are vulnerable to being left out or marginalized.
203

205

206
I wanted to do standup, but I was too nervous. I felt it was too vulnerable basically to be yourself on stage.
207
The quarterback is the most vulnerable one on the field. He’s in an awkward position a lot of times when he throws the ball. So he does have to be protected. You lose a quarterback, you’re in trouble. I don’t know if they can make it too safe. I think health becomes an issue.
208
I’ve certainly had some difficult days. But it’s OK to be vulnerable.
209
The more you allow yourself to be vulnerable, the more people will be able to relate and learn from you, because we’re all human.
210
I want a director who can let me feel that he’s listening and watching and that he’s got me covered. That security is really important for me because sometimes you go into a vulnerable space, and you want to be able to look to somebody because you get insecure: ‘Did I do that right?’
211
I want people to know that it’s OK to have feelings; it’s OK to be vulnerable. That no matter where they live around the world, teenagers all go through the same things.
212
Because of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defense mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure, and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident.
213
We believe that a civilised society can be measured by the way in which it treats its most vulnerable members and that being impatient about poverty is therefore simply the default position for modern progressive Conservatives.
214
I would say that a lot of the characters I’ve been attracted to are very vulnerable and they expose themselves emotionally. Not so much in ‘The Fighter,’ not so much in ‘The Master’ – I think those are different.
215
When people approach me, it’s a vulnerable moment for everybody. You can see that sometimes people don’t quite know what to say to you, but they want to come up to you, and you can tell they’re nervous, and it’s really humbling and endearing.
216
I’ve certainly experienced racism, but it has not made a great impact on me. I have always thought, as I got older and older, I was more in charge of who I was. What someone thought about me or said about me made less of an impression on me at very vulnerable times.
217
When a top batsman is coming after me, I have more chance of getting his wicket as he is just looking for fours and sixes. If I am vulnerable, he is vulnerable too. I can use my variations well and take my chances against him. That’s how I look at batsmen attacking me.
218
If we take as given that critical infrastructures are vulnerable to a cyber terrorist attack, then the question becomes whether there are actors with the capability and motivation to carry out such an operation.
219
I think some songs on the EP, especially one called ‘Blu’, I’ve allowed myself to become vulnerable and express more of my sadder emotions.
220
Ballet is something for which you need so much control and composure. And there’s an element to acting that is the complete opposite. You have to be able to completely let go and reveal everything about yourself. It’s about being very vulnerable.
221
I think that protecting children at the age where they’re most vulnerable against diseases that are highly contagious is prudent.
222
We will be judged as a society and as a culture by how we treated our meanest and most vulnerable citizens. If we keep going the way we’re going, we will be judged very, very harshly – and sooner, perhaps, than we think.
223
A line drawn with love can make us as vulnerable as what the line depicts.
224

226
Our nation’s vital infrastructure – such as power grids and transportation hubs – becomes more vulnerable when individual devices get hacked. Criminals and terrorists who want to infiltrate systems and disrupt sensitive networks may start their attacks through access to just one person’s smartphone.
227
It makes you vulnerable to win an award. It’s nice to get the attention, but your neck is stuck out.
228

229
If you’re really gonna live, you have to be vulnerable.
230

233
Communication is so much better when people are vulnerable.
234
When people feel vulnerable, they make slapstick decisions.

236
When ideas are young and vulnerable, criticism can be lethal.
237
Often times, we think of girls as soft and vulnerable. And we don’t really think of them as possibly being the solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems, but they really are.
238
Like, even in our stage performance, it’s vulnerable at certain times, it’s sad, it’s raging… It’s not just about being a sex symbol, or being sexy to appease everyone. I’m not about that.
239
Foreign policy – dealing as it does with the most charged political subjects of all, the safety and dignity of the nation – will always be political terrain particularly vulnerable to distortion and demagoguery.
240
I grew up, and I was bullied and very insecure. I hope, if nothing else, if I share enough of my struggle and share what I went through and allow myself to be vulnerable, I’ll let people see who I am.
241
What I always think about when I think about ‘Girls’ is Lena being in a scene where she’s very vulnerable, possibly directing, acting, and she’s probably written the dialogue. It’s 2 in the morning. Everyone’s tired. Everyone’s grumpy. And she has a smile on her face and kindness for everyone who interacts with her.
242
If life is so critical, if Anne Frank could die, if my friend could die, children were as vulnerable as adults, and that gave me a secret purpose to my work, to make them live. Because I wanted to live. I wanted to grow up.
243
I tend to find you have to be fairly vulnerable to get something… to get a perspective worth having. Which can be controversial. But I find telling someone what you’re thinking about, what you want, and what you’re afraid of can often help them give guidance.
244
Businesses that decide to be reality based and identify where they’re vulnerable to climate impact, that start thinking about how to buffer against it, are going to be able to take advantage of shortages. When the water runs out, not everyone is in the same pickle.
245
I don’t think I’m a chameleon. I can feel where people are coming from, what makes them tick, where they are vulnerable, what makes them feel good about themselves. I get just as much out of it as they do. I love connecting.
246
My thing has always been, I’ve never been very open and vulnerable with people, so the minute I got this dog, everything changed. It just opened me up and made me more loving… It’s all because of him… He’s made me a better person… I can tell people what I feel now. I can cry in front of people sometimes.
247
We are trained to be medical doctors first and if you have to put neurosurgery aside to deal with the most vulnerable and susceptible patients, then that’s what we’ll do.
248
The more you head into the maelstrom, the more vulnerable you are, of course. But it’s what you owe to whatever gift you have.
249
People say that one of the most important things about being an actor is to have thick skin, but I don’t think that’s it. Because you can’t just walk around being tough, you have to be able to be vulnerable to do this. So really, it’s about not being defensive.
250
I’m so sick of people shaming women for being sensitive or vulnerable. It’s so bizarre to me… I do have those qualities, and I just don’t think there’s anything wrong with them.
251
Disadvantaged communities are among the most vulnerable to climate change.
252
As I have said before, our society cannot be truly prosperous until it respects the rights of the most vulnerable among us.
253
The reality is that most celebrity defendants are extremely unknowledgeable, naive, and vulnerable, and if they get into trouble, they usually call their lawyer friends who handle criminal cases, and if they don’t know any, they call their business lawyers, who then refer them to lawyer friends of theirs.
254
The first time I saw my father, he was chained. Gone was the mirage of the invincible man, the man who would protect me once I found him. At the age of 12, I finally saw my father – in an orange jumpsuit, looking weak and vulnerable.
255
But through therapy I’m realising I’m allowed to be vulnerable. And I’m allowed to feel shy. And I’m allowed to feel private.
256
On stage, it’s very naked. There’s a reason you shake your knees. You’re very vulnerable, cos it’s just you, your body is the instrument. But I always had confidence in my voice, if I had the right song, the right words to sing.
257
President Trump’s threat to weaponize federal funding is not only unconstitutional but emblematic of the cruelty he seeks to impose on our most vulnerable communities.
258
I am bipolar, and I am proud. And that is why I wanted to write a book. To shine a light on mental illness, to be vulnerable about the days I let it take control and paid dearly for it, and to tell anyone fighting a similar battle: You are not alone. You are not broken.
259
I think that my music is really empowering. I just want people to know – especially young people, but really everyone – that you don’t have to be so caught up in what everyone else is thinking. You don’t have to be the coolest, most popular person. You can just be you and be vulnerable.
260
I don’t mock things, which makes me more vulnerable to mockery myself. If you’re cynical, you’re protected from mockery. But I have to be nice. I don’t think I have irony. A sense of humour, yes, but not irony.
261
The Tunisian blogger and activist Sami Ben Gharbia has written passionately about how U.S. government involvement in grassroots digital spaces can endanger those who are already vulnerable to accusations by nasty regimes of acting as foreign agents.

268
I always feel terrified whenever I put my work out there to be seen, to be scrutinized. I think it’s a very vulnerable thing that we are asked to do.
269

270
I feel simultaneously completely vulnerable and made wholly brave by becoming a parent. It has changed the way that I live my life. Because I want to be an example for my son.

273
So I think, if September 11 taught us anything, it taught us that we’re vulnerable, and vulnerable in ways that we didn’t fully understand.
274
For me, comedy should have a certain amount of joy in it. It should be about attacking the powerful – the politicians, the Trumps, the blowhards – going after them. We shouldn’t be attacking the vulnerable.
275
While we recognise the challenges councils are facing, we do expect to see them match our commitment to the most vulnerable.
276

277
I have never felt vulnerable nor restricted in my movements.

287
People are coming to you at their most vulnerable; they’re showing you the parts of themselves that they’re afraid to show: the parts that they’re not so sure about, not so secure in. And so it’s a really holy profession I think, teaching. If you do it right, it can change somebody’s life.
288
I can be anything I want when I do an album. I can be vulnerable, I can be weak, I can be nasty, I can be strong, I can be good, I can be bad. They’re all in there – but in society you don’t get to use all these personalities because you’re trained.
289
Employees who can’t trust their leader to be vulnerable are not going to be vulnerable and build trust with one another.

293
I found that the more truthful and vulnerable I was, the more empowering it was for me.
294
The Violence Against Women Act didn’t have specific provisions for Indian country until 2013, which is really sad. It’s Native women who are the most vulnerable.

299
Police work in major cities – and New York is no exception – has always been vulnerable to corruption. Teddy Roosevelt built his career on it.
300

301
I think sexy is vulnerability, and there’s no way you can act vulnerable. It just has to be there.
302
I think being vulnerable and real in the wolrd of fakeness is the bravest thing a person can do.

304
Al Gore seems to have found a great political ploy: Picking up whatever issue he is most vulnerable on and championing the cause. Perhaps he will start to champion perjury statutes and obstruction of justice.

307
Luckily, on ‘Kyle XY,’ I had great training in being tough and vulnerable at the same time.
308
I’ve never been heckled. I think because I look too small and vulnerable. Sometimes I look out into the audience and see pity in their eyes, so I guess those people may be the ones who would shout something out if they didn’t feel so sorry for me.
309
But as a woman, I really started feeling vulnerable on the set, and I really felt that it was important that I should not be open for invitation or making myself look as though I was waiting for something.
310
It is easy to bare your body, but it is difficult to bare your soul. What works for me is that I am not a city-raised boy with city-raised sensibilities. I can play the vulnerable tough man, the guy with a gun in his hand, tears in his eyes, fire in his heart, innocence in him, and in his arms a woman he loves.
311
We are still vulnerable to gender-targeted marketing no matter how carefully we edit our children’s bookshelves.

314

315
I do have a vulnerable side. I think a lot of people have a misperception of me. They only see the tough, defensive, aggressive side. But every woman is vulnerable.
316
Trust leads to intimacy, which leads to healing and meaning. We can only be intimate to the degree we can make ourselves vulnerable. But when we open our hearts, we can get hurt.

318

319
You put your heart and soul into something and it makes you a little bit vulnerable.
320
I can be more real and more vulnerable when I sing.

322
I felt vulnerable and very much between friends. I remember walking down the hallway and thinking I had no way of knowing what was coming, literally. This wasn’t because I had some horrific bullying story, but because of a steady drip of negativity.
323
What did we do before we had cell phones and we just had to sit there and be vulnerable?
324
Why isn’t the movie industry forced to open its shooting locations to an organization that is there to advocate for animal actors? The industry isn’t allowed to pick and choose which movies using young children it will or won’t allow to be monitored. The vulnerable should be protected.

329
The more vulnerable and the more confused the song is, the equal and opposite effect is how I feel after having written it.
330

331
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as well as more recent attacks in Madrid, Spain, and London, England, showed in a very tragic way just how vulnerable many areas of the world are to these sorts of actions.

334

335
The worst thing to do when I’m feeling insecure or a bit vulnerable is to scroll through Instagram. You only show when life is good on social media. Everyone looks happy all the time.
336

338
Brave doesn’t spread hate or bully the vulnerable. Brave doesn’t put greed and self-interest over millions of lives. Brave doesn’t cower behind lies and walls. Brave doesn’t pit people against one another. That’s what fear does.
339
I want women to really feel how honest and vulnerable I am and to understand that they are not alone and that these are all human emotions.

343
I would say that’s at the center of masculinity in the 21st century: How do you become comfortable enough that you can feel stronger by opening up to another human being, rather than the instinct, which is, the more closed off you are, the stronger you are because you’re not vulnerable?
344
I work in an industry in which we’re all quite vulnerable, I think, to mental health.
345

347
I think the currency of leadership is transparency. You’ve got to be truthful. I don’t think you should be vulnerable every day, but there are moments where you’ve got to share your soul and conscience with people and show them who you are, and not be afraid of it.
348
The ‘Downward Spiral’ album was a record all about beating everybody up – and then ‘Hurt’ was like a coda saying maybe I shouldn’t have done that. But to make the song sound impenetrable because I thought it was a little too vulnerable, I tried to layer it in noise.
349
Forced labor affects the most vulnerable and least protected people, perpetuating a vicious cycle of poverty and dependency. Women, low-skilled migrant workers, children, indigenous peoples, and other groups suffering discrimination on different grounds are disproportionately affected.
350
Teens affect history. They affect lives; they affect our cultural growth and change, and yet, and at the same time, they are often the most vulnerable among us.

352
I love watching people tell stories, because it’s very vulnerable.
353

357
‘The Sleeping Beauty’ is the greatest, most challenging and most vulnerable of classical ballets. Everything can go wrong with it, and all too often, everything does.
358
I’ve become a voice for young women who are growing up and uncomfortable being vulnerable, uncomfortable with changes, heartbreak – and becoming jaded.
359
Why can’t women get along? Because we’re afraid. We’re afraid to be vulnerable. We’re afraid to be soft. We’re afraid to be hurt. But most of all, we’re afraid of our power. So we become controlling and aggressive and vicious.
360
Women are tough campaigners. They certainly know how to withstand attacks. And I think we make a mistake if we say, as some do, that women should play by different rules, or that they are somehow especially vulnerable to the rules of politics. I don’t think that’s true.
361
I came out to my family when I was 13. I was a very young kid, a vulnerable kid.

364

365
I think, in life, we’re vulnerable, or human beings are vulnerable, or men are vulnerable. I think it’s just a question, you know, choosing when you let that mask slip off, which I think all men do – they just usually don’t do it in front of people.
366
As an actor you have to be vulnerable or you’re just not going to cut it.
367
It’s different when you’re an actor and playing a part, but when it’s just you, you feel immensely vulnerable have strangers prodding and prying.
368
I’ve played different nationalities, and everything from vulnerable to strong to crooked to demented. It just increases your possibilities of work because, if people know you can do just about anything, then you’re going to get more offers. That’s what I want to do.
369
The drug war has been a war where the direct casualties have primarily been America’s poor; America’s minorities; and often, unfortunately, America’s vulnerable, in terms of people with disease and addiction and mental health.

371
The premise for me has always been that it’s vulnerable people who do violent things. And the more vulnerable they feel, often, the more violent they are. But I think, you know, that’s an idea that comes from history, from classical theater, for me.
372
I love morning television because it’s the most vulnerable time of day, when you are at your rawest, and if I have the ability to make viewers smile, that’s a gift from God.
373
You can go in and out of love and still love somebody, you know? You may not like them so much on the day, but I can tell you that I don’t think I’ve ever been so vulnerable or been so angry in my life – like, those two emotions feel so hurt or so enraged – as when you’re dealing with your kids.
374

375
Some of the most vulnerable people to getting the SARS virus are health care providers. The general public, walking in the street, there is really not that much risk at all. It’s a very, very low risk – a very, very low risk.
376
It’s no sin to admit that you feel vulnerable and lost.
377
We must not sacrifice one of our remaining untamed places in reckless pursuit of oil. We know we have to leave oil in the ground, or destructive climate change will become unstoppable. If not in the pristine and vulnerable Arctic Ocean, then where?
378
Golf isn’t one of the things I’m best at. You’re in a situation where you’re vulnerable when you’re not a good player. But what I’ve found is that those are the times that you can build the most lasting relationships.
379

383
Too often, our most vulnerable students – English-language learners, immigrants, poor kids, teenage parents, students with behavioral problems and learning disabilities – fall through the cracks.
384
Speculative markets have always been vulnerable to illusion. But seeing the folly in markets provides no clear advantage in forecasting outcomes, because changes in the force of the illusion are difficult to predict.
385
I’m no expert. I have no psychic powers, and I sure don’t possess any secret wisdom. I’m just Janet. I have strengths, weaknesses, fears, happiness, sadness. I experience joy and I experience pain. I’m highly emotional. I’m very vulnerable.
386
I’ve never been afraid of being vulnerable on stage. It’s a large part of life, and I think it’s being dishonest to disallow an audience to see that side.
387
I’m not frightened of appearing vulnerable.
388
I think the global mass culture is either consciously or unconsciously sensitized to how vulnerable we are here on the planet.
389

390
Law is vulnerable to the winds of intellectual or moral fashion, which it then validates as the commands of our most basic concept.

393
I think that I’m shy and I judge myself. But at the same time, I also have big contradictions. I can be sometimes sure of myself as well. I’m not always fragile and vulnerable. I can feel tough and strong.
394
Obviously, Jay-Z is one of the greatest entertainers of the world today. Not only is he a remarkable rhetorical genius, he’s also a man of deep sympathy and empathy for those who are lost and vulnerable, but especially under-educated youth of all cultures and stripes.
395
It is a sign of the times that the absence of meaningful ID requirements in many states leaves our voting process vulnerable to fraud and allows legal votes to be cancelled out by illegally cast ballots.
396
Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
397
I do revel slightly in the fact that I am what I am – an English, middle-class, public-school-educated bloke. There is a reputation with that of being slightly stiff, but whoever gets to know me will see some other element – whether it be vulnerable or silly or camp.
398
Let me put it like this: I am not prepared to officiate over on behalf of the British government what I think is a disastrous strategy which will impact on some of the most vulnerable and poorest people within our society.
399
I feel extremely vulnerable.
400

401
If you break up with a girlfriend or a boyfriend, you’re in this vulnerable state where you’re still kind of half in the relationship with them, but you’re single, and it takes a while to feel solid in yourself again.
402
I think it’s sort of rare in TV shows or movies to see people being vulnerable. That’s sort of scary to an audience.
403
Wonder is that possession of the mind that enchants the emotions while never surrendering reason. It is a grasp on reality that does not need constant high points in order to be maintained, nor is it made vulnerable by the low points of life’s struggle.
404
In some areas, immunity has been eroded so much that the child who’s not vaccinated is now actually more vulnerable to the complications of infectious diseases.
405
Making recess appointments when the Senate isn’t in recess is neither rational nor moderate. It’s a raw misuse of executive power by a president whose love of government is his most vulnerable spot with the electorate.
406
It didn’t scare me to be vulnerable because I think that’s when you get something great.
407
I’m always attracted to the vulnerable character more than I am the superhero.

410
In West Virginia, the most vulnerable people we have are people who get up every morning and go to work.

412
Today, our world is more interconnected than ever. This offers many opportunities; it creates wealth and new freedoms. Yet our world is also vulnerable, full of friction points and conflicts of interest.
413
We wrote ‘Fly’ in such a vulnerable place where we weren’t sure if we had what it took or we would ever make it. Now to have that song on country radio and have our fans singing it back is just wild, because we remember that exact moment, feeling that way.
414
I suppose I’d always been attracted to commitment-phobes because some part of me felt unlovable. It was a lot easier to fall for a guy who I knew, on some level, wouldn’t fall in love with me. There was nothing to risk. The real risk would be to finally be vulnerable to love.
415
A journal is your completely unaltered voice – it’s just for you. And if you know that voice, and you like it, you can bring it out to everyone else, and that’s the most honest and vulnerable thing you can do.
416
I think there’s a contrast between being vulnerable and, you know, ‘Girl Power!’ I think it’s important to have that balance because you don’t have to be strong all the time.
417
As cliched as it sounds, music is my only form of expression. So I have to be honest with myself, and with that comes being vulnerable.

423
Pros in state capitals across the country and inside the Beltway might be more skeptical, but they’re still vulnerable. They should be on vigilant watch for Sacha Baron Cohen and a legion of his imitators.
424
Economic success without accountability and social inclusion is not sustainable, and new governments often must face tough choices in order to protect the poor and vulnerable.
425
You write these vulnerable songs as a sort of therapy, but if you don’t confront people on a daily basis, it’s not reality. There’s still a bit of separation there.
426
You just want to get it right so badly, so it’s stressful when it comes to those vulnerable, dramatic scenes.
427
I’m a complete addict of The ‘X Factor,’ so I can see why everyone gets so inspired. But there’s a downside to celebrity: your life is up for grabs, your career is much more disposable, and you are therefore vulnerable. It’s a high price to pay.
428
What makes Hulk afraid? It’s himself. It’s a version of himself that’s weak. It’s a version of himself that’s vulnerable. It’s a child inside of him.
429
Sometimes true girl power means accepting that we are actually vulnerable and even powerless – then figuring out how to adapt and have our needs met in other ways.
430
Of course you have to provide for the vulnerable and the children, but also, the vulnerable and the children need art in some form or another. You need spiritual experiences that, I think, forms of art give best.

As Americans lose the wider face-to-face ties that build social trust, they become more dependent on romantic relationships for intimacy and deep communication and more vulnerable to isolation if a relationship breaks down.
432

433
I went through a lot of feelings of self-doubt and loss of self-esteem. I was particularly vulnerable after having my son. It was rough getting back on my feet in the business.

435
With the EP ‘Listen,’ I just wanted to bring back a feeling of appreciation for our women in our community. That feeling of love and being vulnerable.
436
We might have to broaden our scope of how we think about where women are vulnerable, because different things make different women vulnerable.
437
We’re all vulnerable to social approval. The need to belong, to be approved or appreciated by our peers is among the highest human motivations. But now our social approval is in the hands of tech companies.
438
A child who is protected from all controversial ideas is as vulnerable as a child who is protected from every germ. The infection, when it comes- and it will come- may overwhelm the system, be it the immune system or the belief system.
439
The time your game is most vulnerable is when you’re ahead; never let up.
440
I don’t have shame with my body. I don’t find a breast more vulnerable than an elbow.

I’ve been out of my comfort zone a lot, and it makes me more vulnerable, but I have to draw the line somewhere, and don’t think I would go skydiving!
442
I’ve seen mothers and children really being vulnerable in the refugee camps; it’s supposed to be temporary, but they end up having children who have grown up in refugee camps.
443

444
When something steps in from the work you are doing and breaks into your personal life… you feel kind of vulnerable.
445
I just love doing radio. I’ve learned to be more vulnerable through radio than even I’ve been through books and writing lyrics. It’s a different type of experience where, if I’m writing a lyric, I can sort of hide behind it a little bit.
446
The insidious aid culture has left African countries more debt-laden, more inflation-prone, more vulnerable to the vagaries of the currency markets and more unattractive to higher-quality investment.
447
I can be extremely vulnerable. People are tough on me because they think I can handle it.
448
I made a conscious decision not to tell anyone in my life. Now I tell people – don’t tell anyone your idea until you have invested enough of yourself in it that you are not going to turn back. When a person has an idea at that conception moment it is the most vulnerable – one negative comment could knock you off course.
449
High corruption and the influence of big business and the wealthy elite keeps the poorest Nigerians trapped in poverty and cut off from the benefits of economic growth and basic services. Some people – searching for the means to survive – became vulnerable to groups like Boko Haram.
450
I think where I feel the most vulnerable and anxious and sometimes insecure is when it comes to my work. It’s arguably the thing that I care about the most.
451

453
Some of us are only going to show our emotions while we’re actually vulnerable. But that’s what makes us human.
454
If religion comes into the public square, it is as vulnerable as any other human institution to be pelted with produce. Ignorance does not become wisdom just because you gussy it up with the Gospels.

456
It’s 2016. Men are more vulnerable than ever.

I’m not afraid of flying; I just fear I’m going to die. I think I’m – vulnerable. I admit it. I don’t fly. I got claustrophobia. I don’t go in high buildings. I don’t do those things. I’m just myself, whatever that is.
458
To be vulnerable, to be raw, to virtually expose your guts, I like doing that.
459
It takes years for me to trust; I know that about myself. A lot of it is because I am so private, and so reluctant to make myself vulnerable.
460
When men act up by being degrading, dismissive, condescending, shut off, or sullen, that can often dumbfound you as a woman and get you off balance. At that point, you can feel and look like a deer in the headlights, which makes you even more vulnerable to such a man’s next volley of vitriol.
461
I think the trauma of giving birth made me feel vulnerable and I wasn’t invincible. Giving birth made me feel like I could die at any minute.
462
The main thing for all of us was having a ballad, a slower song. Finally, they get to hear more of a vulnerable side to us! We didn’t really have that in ‘Reflection,’ and that’s something we all fought for.
463
We estimate that humanitarian agencies have access to about 350,000 vulnerable people in Darfur – only about one third of the estimated total population in need.

I’ve always felt like I had a personal relationship with fans. I’m not afraid to be emotional or vulnerable or humble.
467
I think sometimes we underestimate just how vulnerable Israel is on the public-relations front. That’s why they spend so much money on propaganda. And that’s why they panic every time they feel like they’re losing the propaganda war.
468
Who needs the protection of the Bill of Rights most? The weak, the most vulnerable in society.
469
Restoring the people’s voice in Congress is not just one part of our Better Way agenda, it’s the most important part. Unless people are back in the driver’s seat, we won’t be able to rebuild our military, roll back the red tape, or help our most vulnerable.
470
The frail, vulnerable sounds of which we are capable seem to be essential to a later ability to roar like a lion without scaring everyone to death.
471

472

When you play at home in European football, you’ve got to come up with a happy balance where you get on the front foot and try to win it without leaving yourself vulnerable.

An actor is most vulnerable at the lowest point of his career.
476
At my direction, the Department’s Office for Civil Rights remains committed to investigating all claims of discrimination, bullying, and harassment against those who are most vulnerable in our schools.

478
The idea that democracies could be vulnerable to demagogues is not a new notion.
479

481

482
Because I’ve been so blessed with a background in nursing and spent so much time with patients at a really intimate, vulnerable time in their lives, the one lesson I’ve learned is that you never turn down a challenge where you can keep your creative integrity and your heart and soul and your sense of self.
483
By creating a generation of vulnerable people, especially children, with a poor, irregular diet, we are storing up a public health time bomb.
484
So long as the most vulnerable people in our population are consigned to places that the rest of us will always shun and flee and view with fear, I am afraid that educational denial, medical and economic devastation, and aesthetic degradation will be inevitable.
485
All art is an intensely vulnerable gesture, and it is made with no small amounts of risk, and fear. So, I have plenty of sympathy for self-defense mechanisms, especially among artists.

488
Unless there is recognition that women are most vulnerable… and you do something about social and cultural equality for women, you’re never going to defeat this pandemic.
489
To be a great creator, you have to be vulnerable. You’re creating characters that have a little bit of yourself in them… And you want to know it’s a safe environment for that.
490

491
For India’s sake as much as its own, Bihar needs to be strong again, less vulnerable to the many forces that would deny democracy and curtail choice. Its people are its strength, and have many skills that other states have benefited from.
492
We had no more courage than Harriet Tubman or Marcus Garvey had in their times. We just had a more vulnerable enemy.
493
It’s difficult, the synergy between Drake and our generation – my generation, anyway – in the sense that his music is vulnerable, he’s very open, and you can connect to it. Like ‘Started From The Bottom,’ for instance. Not many people would have thought about that, even though it is a simple song.
494
And introduce an element of cynicism and darkness into it and just realize that we’re all vulnerable. We are humans. There is a finite end to this life and we’re all going to face it and a little silliness can help.
495
I seek to be authentic and engaging, using my own experiences, being as vulnerable as I ask my clients to be, to enhance the process.
496
Your weak point is the open, vulnerable place where you can always be hurt. Love, in all its aspects, opens the self so fully.
497
Our enemies, like the Grecian hero, have one vulnerable point. You have not touched it yet. What should have been their element of weakness has been suffered to remain an element of strength.
498
As I’m sure everyone would agree, carers who do the difficult job of looking after the elderly and vulnerable deserve to be paid a decent wage that they can actually live on.
499

500

501

Love is not love until love’s vulnerable.
504
Decades of mismanagement have left our nation’s forests vulnerable to insects and disease and ripe for catastrophic wildfires.
505

506
I’ve never pretended that I’m not female and vulnerable. To me, it’s just being honest.
507
Typhoon Haiyan showed the entire world how vulnerable the Philippines as well as other developing countries are to natural disasters.
508
Hollywood is a very volatile place where artists come in, and they essentially say they want to belong. It’s incredibly vulnerable to be an actor and also get criticism at a young age when you’re formulating who you are. We’ve seen a lot of people fall victim to that, and it’s very unfortunate.
509
I won’t put myself in a position where I’m vulnerable.
510
If you’re not vulnerable, and you’re too headstrong and clear about the path you want to take, it won’t help you grow. Vulnerability doesn’t have to be a negative thing. If you take the right spin on it, it can be extremely positive.
511
For far too many, the housing crisis has become a human crisis, with people being criminalised who should instead be protected as our most vulnerable citizens.
512
People use the Method as a shield; it shields them from being vulnerable. I hear all these young actors who are like, ‘I’m Method, I’m gonna go live in the house, you know, I totally get it, I’ve done it, I’ve been there’, but one thing I know is it kills spontaneity.
513
Don’t get me wrong – I don’t want to be mean to the scammers. There are lots of people online who do that. I’m content merely having fun inventing, and I figure any time they’re spending with me is time in which they’re not scamming vulnerable adults out of their savings.
514
If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable. You must reach the emotional and intellectual level of ability where you can go out stark naked, emotionally, in front of an audience.
515
I’ve spent my entire adult life involved in the community trying to help people live decent lives, working for a strong and secure state of Israel, and making sure that the most vulnerable in our society receive the care that they need.

517
I always sort of create practical problems so that I don’t have to see a film I’ve just done. I’m too vulnerable, too fragile. People see your work, and there’s nothing you can do. You’re completely exposed.
518
If you are socially isolated, you are more vulnerable to stereotypes and myths; you won’t have the opportunity to have conversations with someone who has a different social background than you.
519
It was a slow process of getting closer and closer to my actual personality on stage. And now there’s very little separation. I definitely find the more open and vulnerable I am, the more people enjoy it.
520
A diverse customer base helps insulate you; a few large accounts can leave you vulnerable to their whims.
521
Laughter is really a gift. It’s the most vulnerable state you can be in.
522

523
Coming off ‘Reflection,’ what we really wanted to do was be more vulnerable.
524

527
The fruits of science and innovation have nourished our society and economy for years, but nations unable to navigate our regulatory system are often excluded, as are vulnerable individuals.
528
Nobody’s just arrogant. I’ve met people who are embattled and dismissive, but when you get to know them, you find that they’re vulnerable – that that hauteur or standoffishiness is because they’re pedaling furiously underneath.
529
Climate change is hugely exacerbated by changing patterns of how we choose to live, often in danger zones such as extremely vulnerable coastal zones – from New Jersey to the Philippines. This enormously increases the economic and human costs of hurricanes, rising seas and changing weather patterns.
530
I have come to the conclusion that it’s a waste of time to have too much pride in anything. Perhaps it’s good to have a sense of duty, a jealous zeal to protect or improve, but pride ultimately is only that which stands vulnerable to offense and degradation.
531
With my fan base, I’m just vulnerable. I’m very transparent and vulnerable.
532
It’s strong to be vulnerable. To be able to communicate with other women is one of the most powerful things.
533
I value the people who are willing to make themselves vulnerable and share work that is sensitive and maybe even hard to sing sometimes. Because that’s the music that provides the most solace and solidarity to the world.
534
Whatever I’m feeling, whatever I’m going through, whatever mood I’m in… If I’m feeling like dancing or clubbing, then it will be reflected in the music. If I’m feeling dark and vulnerable, then it will reflect in the music, too.
535
If you are a musician and you don’t show any interest on the business level then you are actually vulnerable and people will rip you off. They will sweet talk you into anything.
536
Listen, acting is not surgery, it’s entertainment. You’re doing something to hopefully move people, to make them laugh, to transport them. But actors are vulnerable, and the reason we’re vulnerable is that we’re always trying to recreate human behaviour.
537
I want to be clear: We can address safety and livability issues head-on without criminalizing homelessness. After all, people living on our streets are themselves vulnerable to crime and other hazards.
538
We’re never so vulnerable than when we trust someone – but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.
539

540

541

542
Somehow when I express my voice, I feel that much more vulnerable. For instance, if I used the wrong word, or if I said something and somebody could take the word and misinterpret it.

It’s hard to constantly delve into your psyche and unearth these deep and often painful feelings and hold them out in front of people and say, ‘Here’s the most vulnerable part of me.’
544
There’s something incredibly vulnerable about middle school for me. We’re really impressionable during that period. The cement’s still wet, so to speak, and a lot of things later in life are born during that season.
545
I’d always been fascinated by people who allow themselves to be so rude and irritated and foul-mouthed and hostile, but usually you can sense there’s something vulnerable beneath them – a shield they use to protect that vulnerable side. Finally, when they expose that soft spot, it’s kind of touching.
546
Soldiers are trained not to be vulnerable, but when they come home, they’ve got to learn it.
547

549
We must recognize that Small Island Developing States are particularly vulnerable to climate change, natural disasters, and external shocks.

553
Any informed borrower is simply less vulnerable to fraud and abuse.
554
It is unfortunate that in every industry, there are people who take advantage of needy people, but I would like to tell all the budding actors not to be vulnerable and always have a backup plan because rejection in auditions and films is not the end of the world.
555
I’m interested in how we react when we’re heavily pressed. When we’re vulnerable and our survival is in question, how do we behave?

Failure to curb temperature increases will impact all countries, Ireland included, but with the most immediate and drastic effects being felt, in many instances, by the most vulnerable countries and communities.
557
I wouldn’t want to play a character that knew everything and knew where to go. It is much more interesting playing a character that is vulnerable trying to be strong. It makes for better TV.
558
Speech writers are more vulnerable to vanity than any other group of people in Washington.
559
We live on a planet of limited resources – an abstract notion for some of the world’s population, but for many of the poorest and most vulnerable, those limits are all too real.
560
I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
561
When we engage in the critical decisions about our nation’s future budgets, I want progressive voices at the table to argue that we must protect the most vulnerable in our society and demand fairness in budget cuts.
562
I started my own Pies Descalzos/Barefoot Foundation when I was 18. We provide education to vulnerable children in Colombia and other developing countries. I am an avid believer that education – and especially early childhood development – is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty.
563
Shoes are strange things. If you take your shoes off in a situation in which you’re vulnerable, you’ll feel 10 times more vulnerable.
564
People are extremely vulnerable when they’re brought into the hospital. When you see people in those moments, it’s a privilege to watch that and learn from it.
565
I understand now that the vulnerability I’ve always felt is the greatest strength a person can have. You can’t experience life without feeling life. What I’ve learned is that being vulnerable to somebody you love is not a weakness, it’s a strength.
566
Protecting children and vulnerable workers abroad is a part of our overall efforts here at the Department of Labor.
567
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.
568
The fact is that the rich are getting richer while the poor are being left behind. Women remain under-represented in boardrooms and under-engaged in the global workforce. Environmental change is leaving the poorest countries vulnerable. Voters are becoming more and more politically polarised and partisan.
569
I feel vulnerable because my mind – because of the stroke, my mind doesn’t focus. And then I feel vulnerable because I don’t understand the world around me.
570
We have a responsibility as a state to protect our most vulnerable citizens: our children, seniors, people with disabilities. That is our moral obligation. But there is an economic justification too – we all pay when the basic needs of our citizens are unmet.
571
People who find that they have a lot of drama in their relationships need to allow themselves to get ‘bored’. At first, it will feel excruciating, and they may find themselves confronting a very real fear underneath all that drama: being truly close and therefore vulnerable to another human being.
572
I feel that telling my secrets makes me less vulnerable. What would make me vulnerable are the secrets I keep.
573
Humans are vulnerable, messy little animals and that’s normal. And all I want to do is make a space for that in my films.
574
At my school, when kids went into the army at 16, they didn’t do it in a gung-ho, Tom Cruise, ‘Born on the Fourth of July’ way. They were generally – and I hope this doesn’t offend them – the more vulnerable members of the class. They enlisted seeking family, and they didn’t always find it.
575
Men walk this tightrope where any sign of weakness illicits shame, and so they’re afraid to make themselves vulnerable for fear of looking weak.
576
I know the crucial role community health centers play in keeping our most vulnerable neighbors healthy from both sides. When I was uninsured, I relied on a community health center to provide my health care.
577
As attorney general of Missouri, I am my state’s chief law enforcement officer. I swore an oath to uphold the rule of law, and that means fighting violence and oppression wherever it exists, especially violence against the poor and vulnerable.
578
I’m very protective of all the vulnerable young kids that go on shoots. I can empathize. I’ve been there.
579
People get stigmatised for their bodies and for their differences. Then those people become very vulnerable.
580
As human beings, we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable. In our everyday experience, if something has never happened before, we are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future, but the exceptions can kill you and climate change is one of those exceptions.
581
I’m kind of emotionally dyslexic, and when I feel vulnerable or nervous, I laugh.
582
When I was sixteen I started acting, and I also started to embrace my tradition and culture. I had a young medicine man interpret for me what it is to be an Indian.

583
Sinatra, here’s a guy who plays a tough guy in all his movies, but was allowed to be vulnerable when he stepped up to the microphone.
584
When you’re vulnerable and lost and then suddenly somebody is kind to you and gives you love and gives you tenderness and takes care of you in some way, that creates a huge indebtedness. From there, the likelihood that you’re going to follow them anywhere is much higher.
585
The more we reach out and become vulnerable and share our stories, the more people we will meet that will unite and help us to achieve more equality.
586
Going through war and living is a very important process. You realize how vulnerable you are and how lucky you are to be in the right place at the right time. As a matter of fact, I have a history of luck.
587
Filming costs so much money, so it’s such a nerve-racking process, whereas being in a studio is quite cheap compared to that, so you have more time to work on things until you feel good about them. That makes it easier to explain a certain feeling and be in a vulnerable place while making sure it does what you want it to do.
588
New motherhood is such a vulnerable and powerful time, but it’s also really hard.
589
I do have a problem with developments that hyper-exploit politically vulnerable communities for profit. That it continues is a shame upon us all, because we are all responsible for the future that we create.
590
Young people in college – many living away from their parents for the first time in their lives – are particularly vulnerable to the leftist propaganda campaign designed to turn them away from supporting president Trump and turning them away from believing in American exceptionalism.
591
What does animal welfare have to do with food safety? The animals are the food! They are living in their own excrement, developing horrific sores, stressed out, and, therefore, more vulnerable to illness and disease.
592
I’m very emotional and vulnerable.
593
As a civilised society, we have a duty to support those among us who are vulnerable and in need. When times are hard, that duty should be felt more than ever, not disappear or diminish.
594
The thing is, if I try to talk about acting, I come off as moaning. But I’m privileged. I think it’s all about control. Acting is vulnerable because you’re not in control of anything. You have to give up a lot of your trust; it’s up to somebody else what they do with what you’ve given them.
595
I was really looking for a sense of purpose, a sense of community. I guess you could say that made me vulnerable, but I think those are good things to want. More so than being naive, I would say I was extremely idealistic, and that’s something Nxivm exploited.
596
The Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self. God loves us, not because of what we do or accomplish, but because God has created and redeemed us in love.
597
We are vulnerable in the military and in our governments, but I think we’re most vulnerable to cyber attacks commercially. This challenge is going to significantly increase. It’s not going to go away.
598
While commentators on Fox and right-wing radio have the backing of Rupert Murdoch, a major Republican contributor, and other conservative corporations, progressives understand that their position is extremely vulnerable.
599
What a magical thing is the bed, and what a vulnerable, innocent creature is the sleeping human – the human who never looks more truthful or pitiful or benign; the curled-up, childlike dreaming soul who has for a few hours become an angel adrift.
600
Every book is vulnerable, and every book is nerve-wracking, but I’ve never been both so excited and terrified to have a book coming into the world. It’s an expressly loaded subject, one on which you can’t win.
601
The Court is most vulnerable and comes nearest to illegitimacy when it deals with judge-made constitutional law having little or no cognizable roots in the language or design of the Constitution.
602
Always changing genres, making very different films is a good idea. It’s a way of making yourself feel vulnerable again, getting back to that innocence. As is working within a circumspect budget.
603
Being vulnerable is not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength.
604
And I am a conservative. Sometimes conservatives forget we are supposed to conserve, to save, to be efficient. Plus our dependence on other sources of energy is causing our country to not be independent and to really be vulnerable. So this is a security issue.
605
The thing I loved about my old punk band, it wasn’t really about being vulnerable, it was about shouting and being fun and being aggressively political, which I thought was really cool and really fit that energy.
606
When you say, ‘Boys will be boys and girls will be girls; they’re all the same’ – no. Women are more vulnerable.
607
The ‘army camp’ that coordinates the agencies of our brain is vulnerable, both in itself and from within. In effect, he who can know and master its functioning and psychology from outside can become twice its master.
608
I hope the film will help mothers and fathers to be aware that 15 is a very vulnerable age.
609
People ‘demand’ the opportunity to gamble away money they do not have, just like people ‘demand’ money from loan sharks at extortionate interest rates. This is a warped, empty type of freedom, in which the powerful are free to exploit the vulnerable.
610
Trump’s Twitter flood of late-night mendacity is an unhindered celebration of fragile manhood, a ceaseless summons to the millions for affirmation, a proclamation to vulnerable men across the land that endless preening and stroking is a normal and imitable way of life.
611
As a mother, you feel much more vulnerable. And when you’re vulnerable, you’re a much better actress.
612
He is not like Ron Swanson at all because he’s very emotional and vulnerable. He is all of the things that I guess Ron was really deep down. He’s not a Libertarian, but he does like bacon and meat.
613
I say I’m not shy, but… Acting is a very vulnerable experience, and you’ve got to be really confident to put yourself out there to be judged.
614
Things hurt me just as much as anyone else. My insecurities, failures. I’m vulnerable to comparisons.
615
When ‘Romeo and Juliet’ came along, I fell in love with the way that it was written and how innocent and vulnerable it was and how different it was from ‘True Grit.’ I really liked that.
616
I traffic in empathy. I try to be vulnerable with people so they can be vulnerable back. I’ve always been searching for empathy in other people. It’s when I feel most not alone.
617
I try and be as vulnerable in my comedy as possible, to open that door for other people.
618
I don’t really like being vulnerable.
619
Hathi Ram’s journey intrigued me. He is a very vulnerable character. I was never offered such a role of a man who is a failure in life and is desperate to prove himself. It was a good change for me to play someone with such a nice arc and so many shades to his personality.
620
So much research has been done showing that the woman is the most vulnerable but also the biggest strength leading to economic progress.
621
Women care about a wide range of issues – climate change, social justice. What the Green Party tries to do is apply gender analysis to a whole lot of questions that people might not think of as women’s issues. For instance, women in developing countries are the most vulnerable to climate crisis.
622
I’m inspired by people who are so sensitive and vulnerable that they try to cover it up.
623

624
Often, those with the most to lose as a result of a poor policy move are the most vulnerable and most marginalized. Those folks need a voice, and I will endeavor to be that voice.
625
When you know you’re vulnerable, and you know… your strength and your weakness, you can see life with better perspective.
626
I know certainly, when one job draws to a close, that I feel I’m simply never going to work again. No one will ever want me for anything ever again. I think that’s a vulnerable moment in every actor’s life, and it happens every time you finish a film.
627
I’ve always known that I love directing but I was really aware of it while making ‘Beginners.’ I am my happiest when I’m on set directing. I am also my kindest. When the actors get in front of the camera, it makes them very vulnerable. I am so in love with them for trying so hard.
628
In the 20 long, hungry years between my late teens and late 30s I bought in to virtually every new diet and/or exercise regime that hoved into view, particularly at this most vulnerable time for those of us prone to poor body image – a new year.
629
Some people are attracted to vulnerability. From my very first album, I’ve been vulnerable. I’ve always given parts of me, parts of my life – good, bad, ugly. I’ve never put up this image as a super-thug. Also, some people just like the music.
630
As an actor, we have to be so vulnerable that it’s really hard to involve yourself with the other aspects of filmmaking.
