This death cult has no reason and is beyond negotiation. This is what makes it

so frightening. This is what causes so many to engage in a sort of mental diversion. They don't want to confront this horror. So they rush off in search of more comprehensible things to hate. David Brooks I love to play pool. Dante Hall Well, WorldCom's growth exploded in the Clinton years, there's no question, there's no disputing that.

I can't think of any more important issue. If we get this right, we'll not

only preserve our landscape for future generations we'll be able to generate I think more investment and more job opportunities in the inland and we sure as hell need those jobs. John Anderson I'll answer to none but the King himself. Thomas Blood Saddam is a familiar dictatorial aggressor, with traditional goals for his aggression.

It's a spirit that was given me and the relationships and meeting all these great

people, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong; through Max I met a lot of people too. My first album was with Benny Carter. Abbey Lincoln Who are you to condemn another's sin? He who condemns sin becomes part of it, espouses it. Georges Bernanos John Kerry was officially endorsed by Dick Gephardt, and Kerry said, 'What did I ever do to you?'

Donny Most I moved on with my life but I still have a big commitment to Terri. I made her a promise. Michael Schiavo

Too many pitchers, that's all, there are just too many pitchers Ten or twelve on

a team. Don't see how any of them get enough work. Four starting pitchers and one relief man ought to be enough. Pitch 'em every three days and you'd find they'd get control and good, strong arms. Cy Young I don't want to be the Hollywood girl... I'm Southern and old-fashioned. Jaime Pressly I would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone. Gerald R.

Before people complain of the obscurity of modern poetry, they should first examine their consciences

Dan Marino The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there. John Buchan Every word or concept, clear as it may seem to be, has only a limited range of applicability. Werner Heisenberg

me. I wanted to preserve the spirit of my songs in Spanish. I am the same Shakira in English as I am in Spanish. Shakira I don't believe in atheists.

The biggest lesson from Africa was that life's joys come mostly from relationships and friendships,

not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields; they laughed all the time. Andrew Shue Go, and never darken my towels again. Groucho Marx Firstly, people take for granted that the E.U. has created the biggest economic space in the world.

Thomas Chandler Haliburton Napolean is dead - but Beethoven lives. Bruno Walter

A lot of places we go, when they see the organ coming in, they're expecting

rock and roll, but after they hear us play they like it. To me, guitar cuts through-it carries more than organ. But organ has got more guts. Wes Montgomery Today is your own. Tomorrow perchance may never come. Swami Sivananda We shall meet again. I have believed in God. I obeyed the laws of war and was loyal to my flag.

Warren De la Rue My schedulers keep getting driven crazy by the fact that they can't fit hikes in my schedule. Gale Norton Could I get a friggin' Hot Pocket around here? Lorne Michaels

Luck'. In addition to the intense competition of each of those games, it slowly started to dawn on me in the minutes between tapings that I was winning some serious money. Randy West It would've been hard to do something else, to as it were, run away from the circus and become an accountant. Samuel West The Americans are very clear, and obsessed with nouns. Fiona Shaw It would be foolhardy to count on the conscience of the world. Stefan Zweig In a republic, that paradise of debility, the politician is a petty tyrant who obeys the laws. Emile M. Cioran Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid. Francis Bacon Art is I; science is we. Claude Bernard

I am so used to seeing the sort of play which deals with one man

Forster The ear is the avenue to the heart. Voltaire We are like violins. We can be used as doorstops, or we can make music. Barbara Sher It's important to face down your demons. Stephan Jenkins We loved everything. We wanted to be able to do anything. Jim Capaldi There are people who can talk sensibly about a controversial issue; they're called humorists. Cullen Hightower Since when was genius found respectable? Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I haven't written an awful lot recently, but I think I probably will start again

very shortly. Being so much on the road, when you have a couple of weeks off, you're likely to avoid sitting at the piano, and taping, and giving yourself more work to do. George Shearing I don't consider myself qualified to do a movie about international intrigue - I seldom leave the country. John Hughes I suppose I should say that I treasure blasphemy, as a faith of the highest order. Rick Moody Even in five years time, he will still be four years younger than Damon Hill. Murray Walker You know that look women get when they want sex? Me neither. Drew Carey Excellence is a process that should occupy all our days. Ted Engstrom A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity. Robert Frost

People used to complain that selling a president was like selling a bar of soap.

But when you buy soap, at least you get the soap. In this campaign you just get two guys telling you they really value cleanliness. David Brooks I can eat a man, but I'm not sure of the fiber content. Jenny Eclair Think wrongly if you please, but in all cases, think for yourself. Charles Seymour I just try to get inside the song and imagine what comes next. Jeff Tweedy I'm not a prettier everywoman. I am an everywoman that they clean up awfully well for T.V.

Arthur Eddington He is not only dull in himself, but the cause of dullness in others. Samuel Foote To fake it is to stand guard over emptiness. Arthur Herzog

The imagination is the spur of delights... all depends upon it, it is the mainspring

of everything; now, is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise? Marquis de Sade Those who welcome death have only tried it from the ears up. Wilson Mizner The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy. Jim Rohn Someone recommended that I read the Bible, and it was then I discovered that I knew nothing about it.

Roald Amundsen It is legal because I wish it. Louis XIV

Victoria was just as much in love with me as I was with her. We

could not bear to be apart for a single second. We were like two lovers shipwrecked on a desert island. There was no world outside our love. Andy Gibb Cynic, n: a blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.

Everybody is just at the start of this huge process of trying to unravel what's

going on with the 4,400, where they've been and why they're back and what they're trying to do with us in the present. And we're trying to work out what messages they're sending us. Jacqueline McKenzie Never mind a world that can't see past brutality. Ric Ocasek I am forced to say that I have many fiercer critics than myself.

My father never felt the need to wrap himself in anybody's mantle. He never felt

the need to pretend to be anybody else. This is their administration. This is their war. If they can't stand on their own two feet, well, they're no Ronald Reagans, that's for sure.

Leonardo da Vinci Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society. Arthur C. Clarke Football is like life and I know life. Rush Limbaugh

I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be

than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.' Friedrich Nietzsche Life, is not a having and a getting, but a being and a becoming. Myrna Loy For me, Fellini was like a watermelon. It is there. A watermelon cannot die. Roberto Benigni It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one. Voltaire People say funny things all the time during really serious moments in life. Mark Ruffalo Art is the collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. Andre Gide There was tremendous emotion. Every shift was so emotional. Marcel Dionne

Each victim of suicide gives his act a personal stamp which expresses his temperament, the

special conditions in which he is involved, and which, consequently, cannot be explained by the social and general causes of the phenomenon.

My imagination completely controls me, and forever feeds the fire that burns with dark red

light in my heart by bringing me the best dreams. I've always had a wild imagination, a big heart and a tortured soul so I feel that dark fantasy, love and horror are in my blood. Kim Elizabeth War is the unfolding of miscalculations. Barbara Tuchman John Lennon and Ringo Starr liked my songs. I used to write songs and they heard me sing songs on stage in London.

Miller's in my dressing room. This is the third night he's been here and he sits in my dressing room for an hour after each show, and talks to me for an hour. So I'm pretty spoiled right now.

I don't even know how to use that thing in the kitchen with the burners. Cindy Margolis We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves. Henri Frederic Amiel

At least believe this many humans, who are interested obviously in this topic. Many of

them visited me after lectures and meetings, in hope that I can give concrete answers to their questions. For it was clear: If that does not know it, who is to then know it? Ulrich Walter Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience.

Lawyers do. Norman Ralph Augustine

I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going

process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life.

to their chosen profession, friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself, it seems to me everything should work out pretty well. Bebe Neuwirth Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore, so do our minutes, hasten to their end. William Shakespeare My sound is very smooth.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca There's about 260 rooms in the new castle which you go through, but it's all about the game play. Don Bluth Well, I wasn't going to tell anyone, but I've been seeing this really sweet guy for the past few weeks. Amber Frey

There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands

above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.

Melanie Griffith Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself. Sam Levenson No one has the Houdini school of composition. Morton Feldman

Control is the wrong word. The practice is very much about sharing, and, in any

creative practice, some individuals, whether partners or directors, are much closer to certain projects than I could ever be. Norman Foster Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders. Friedrich Nietzsche They're different kinds of challenges depending upon what phase of life I'm in. Alanis Morissette Always think of what is useful and not what is beautiful. Beauty will come of its own accord.

Colin Wilson Everywhere across whatever sorrows of which our life is woven, some radiant joy will gaily flash past. Nikolai Gogol We're a nation of liars. But I mean that in the kindest sense. Neil Cavuto

There are two kinds of directors: There's the kind where two plus two equals four,

and you have to help them figure it out. And then there's the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it. Michael Pitt How to use your leisure time is the biggest problem of a ballplayer. Branch Rickey Be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet them on your way down. Wilson Mizner The Dewey decimal system really works. So that's all I needed to know. Elementary school taught me that. Michelle Rodriguez Ideas can be life-changing.

Norton Simon

I've had tons of odd jobs, but I think that I would probably be a

fireman because you get to see the results of your job. You get there and there is a house on fire. You leave and there's not a fire anymore. Luke Perry I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it, at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere. George Burns Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.

Jon Kyl Nothing in life is promised except death. Kanye West The only thing I was any good at was music. Don Gibson

What I was trying to convey there was the kind of waste land that was

left after the war. It was a bit like one always thinks of war, you know, stark scenery and no birds, no trees, no leaves, nothing living. And just emptiness. George Martin I have always advised men to read. Mary Harris Jones Before the BBC, I joined the Navy in order to travel. David Attenborough I'm not a humanitarian. I'm a hell-raiser. Mary Harris Jones We are only tenants, and shortly the great Landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired. Joseph Jefferson For other nations, utopia is a blessed past never to be recovered; for Americans it is just beyond the horizon. Henry Kissinger I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self. Martin Luther

I'm not sure I'm quite ready to have someone be a prospector of jobs for

me, because I believe there's some kind of destiny involved with meeting people... some things are just meant to happen.

Pontius Pilate I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.' Harrison Ford

Gary Snyder While the eyes of the world will be on us let's show everyone that we have a great sense of humour. Yahoo Serious

I know that we shall meet problems along the way, but I'd far rather see

for myself what's going on in the world outside, than rely on newspapers, television, politicians and religious leaders to tell me what I should be thinking. Michael Palin Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. Helen Keller The best way to keep your friends is not to give them away.

Jim Caviezel We won't always have the strongest military. Howard Dean Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances. Jackie Chan

Warren Weaver We have been a fabless semiconductor company for a number of years now. David Milne The people on Baywatch were about as nice a group of people as I had ever worked with. Michael Bergin

Brian Clough Music is the best means we have of digesting time. W. H. Auden

By and large, the critics and readers gave me an affirmed sense of my identity

as a writer. You might know this within yourself, but to have it affirmed by others is of utmost importance. Writing is, after all, a form of communication. Ralph Ellison I had my life threatened by Bosnian Serbs on numerous occasions. John Pomfret There is no influence like the influence of habit. Gilbert Parker Hear reason, or she'll make you feel her. Benjamin Franklin Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors. Ludwig van Beethoven There are a thousand ways to point a camera, but really only one. Ernst Lubitsch To live we must conquer incessantly, we must have the courage to be happy. Henri Frederic Amiel

We draft mostly high school kids and we have one of the finest, if not

the finest, player development programs and coaching staffs and we teach our players the right way to play.

Jean-Bertrand Aristide There's no such thing as perfect writing, just like there's no such thing as perfect despair. Haruki Murakami

I write easily, let's put it that way. And in a novel particularly, the characters

take over. And they tell me what to say and they tell me what they're doing. And I'm a third of the way into a novel and then I just let the characters finish it for me. Andrew Greeley The target market is for people who have not been entrenched in Web culture. John Patrick We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.

William Shakespeare God has been replaced, as he has all over the West, with respectability and air conditioning. Amiri Baraka Colors are the smiles of nature. Leigh Hunt

If you're climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at

a time. Don't look too far up, set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don't think you're progressing until you step back and see how high you've really gone. Donny Osmond We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving. Bernard Meltzer We're approaching things quite differently this time, but it will still sound like Marilyn Manson.

You can't think about how people will perceive you or your character. All you can

do is focus on your work. The rest is up to the universe. I've been acting for 16 years. I've done 55 movies and, in all seriousness, there's maybe five that are good and the rest are crap. Robert Patrick The gratification of wealth is not found in mere possession or in lavish expenditure, but in its wise application.

Frederik Pohl Anyone who believes you can't change history has never tried to write his memoirs. David Ben-Gurion

Essentially and most simply put, plot is what the characters do to deal with the

situation they are in. It is a logical sequence of events that grow from an initial incident that alters the status quo of the characters. Elizabeth George I thank fate for having made me born poor.

The symptoms of fascist thinking are colored by environment and adapted to immediate circumstances. But

always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power. Henry A. Wallace There are more bad musicians than there is bad music. Isaac Stern I haven't always done a good job, and I haven't always been successful - but I know that I have tried.

Lita Ford

I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet

Robert Byrd Fermat said he had a proof. Andrew Wiles Before that I wanted to be a magazine illustrator - I probably would have painted Gothic scenes. Ira Levin

Usually that's going into biology in a certain way. There's certain strengths and weaknesses to

both of the sexes. And I'm not against employing those nor am I against denying those, what I am looking for is a very large array of options. Mark Morris Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight. Marcus Aurelius The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.

William Daniels I would have thought he would be there out of just plain curiosity. It was incredible that he was missing. James Kirkwood I'd hate to be a songwriter starting a career today. Otis Blackwell

It's a tough life being a pop star. You know, at the end of the

day when you've paid all the bills and put the kids through college and that, you know, there's only enough left for a small island off the South Pacific. Larry Mullen, Jr. Social Security is a program that should be strengthened and preserved for future generations. Diane Watson I have found a very great number of exceedingly beautiful theorems.
