~ Shane Carruth
I've come to the conclusion that a long, personal relationship is next to impossible for me. Ultimately, music is a possessive mistress.
~ Leonard Slatkin
If you're a woman, it's almost impossible to establish a relationship. You're too much for everybody. It's too much. The woman always has to play this role of being fragile and dependent.

~ Marina Abromovic
In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.

~ Damon Albarn
Many Lexington natives believe they live in a special place, one impossible to leave. I'm not so sure about that - or it's more accurate to say I think a more general truth exists beneath it: the place you first call home stays with you always, whether you remain or go.
~ Kim Edwards
Unless you have been to boarding-school when you are very young, it is absolutely impossible to appreciate the delights of living at home.
~ Roald Dahl
It's almost impossible to get a movie all together when there are two main cast members, let alone an ensemble cast with everyone's schedules. It's crazy if it works out.

~ Robert Lighthizer
It's impossible to walk a block in Miami, in Los Angeles, San Antonio without running into someone who is being deeply impacted by a broken legal immigration system.
