William Shakespeare, Hamlet. Polonius says this as Hamlet kills him behind the curtain.

A writer writes not because he is educated but because he is driven by the need to communicate. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. Behind the need to share is the need to be understood. The writer wants to be understood much more than he wants to be respected or praised or even loved. And that perhaps, is what makes him different from others. – Leo C. Rosten
Anger is smaller than the one behind him. – Charles de LEUSSE
Be still sad heart and cease repining; Behind the clouds the sun is shining, Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life a little rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. – Longfellow
Countries that try to spread their ideologies by force, be it religion, socialism, capitalism, democracy or something else, will be overwhelmed by the human and economic cost of conflicts.

Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, 'Think again, bat man.' – Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind that I will never die. – Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes

I do not believe in the immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern without any superhuman authority behind it. – Albert Einstein
I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. – Henry David Thoreau, "Walden", pp. 323- 324
I must be cruel, only to be kind Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind. – William Shakespeare
Lloyd Hey, I guess they're right senior citizens although slow and dangerous behind the wheel--can still serve a purpose. I'll be right back, don't you go dying on me – Dumb & Dumber
Never follow somebody else's path it doesn't work the same way twice for anyone...the path follows you and rolls up behind you as you walk, forcing the next person to find their own way. – J. Michael Straczynski
Odd how much it hurts when a friend moves away- and leaves behind only silence. – Pam Brown
Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time. – Johann von Goethe
Sometimes the child in one behaves a certain way and the rest of oneself follows behind, slowly shaking its head. – Niels Henrik David Bohr
The enemy is in front of us, the enemy is behind us, the enemy is to the right and to the left of us. They can't get away this time!!! – General Douglas McArthur
The only bad thing about keeping on burning your bridges Behind you, is that the world is round.. – Unknown
Tony Gwynn, the fat batter behind Finley, is waiting. – Jerry Coleman
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. – Maori Proverb
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Although the protesters in Egypt and neighboring countries are calling for democratic reforms, in reality they are calling for better economic life. Democracy is only a means to an end. I believe the driving forces behind the Tunisian and Egyptian uprisings are economical. A chronic high unemployment combined with an inflation in food prices is a volatile mix that can lead to major civic outbursts. – Med Jones
Countries that try to spread their ideologies by force, be it religion, socialism, capitalism, democracy or something else, will be overwhelmed by the human and economic cost of conflicts. Those countries will lag behind other countries that are focusing on developing their economies and advancing their interests via global partnerships and trade. With the new global knowledge and global competition, if you take your eye off the economic ball someone else will pick it up. – Med Jones
In US we had our share of civil conflicts driven by economic forces. The European immigrants brought slaves from Africa to use them as cheap labor for farming their lands. The color of the skin is only a rationalization for the continuation of the slavery system. All the segregation and discrimination rules against the blacks at that time were made to preserve the existing economic system and the interest of its beneficiaries. Though the American civil war was attributed to states and civil rights, the driving forces behind the war was the conflict of economic interests. – Med Jones
Dreams never hurt anybody if you keep working right behind the dreams to make as much of them become real as you can. – Frank W. Woolworth
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. – Oliver Wendell Holmes
