of us. He came, he saw, and if he didn't entirely conquer - he came as close as anybody we are likely to see in the lifetime of this doomed generation. Hunter S. Thompson Reviewing music or reviewing anything is a writing job. It's nice if you are experienced in the field you are writing about, but writing is what you are doing. Virgil Thomson I think the rich are too rich and the poor are too poor. I don't think the black people are going to rise at all; I think most of them are going to die. Nina Simone In extreme situations, the entire universe becomes our foe; at such critical times, unity of mind and technique is essential - do not let your heart waver! Morihei Ueshiba I sing seriously to my mom on the phone. To put her to sleep, I have to sing 'Maria' from West Side Story. When I hear her snoring, I hang up. Adam Sandler I have continued systematically to study the Book of Mormon and Bible to understand even more deeply what God expects of me a

to get the cut of the scene right. But if you find it as beautiful as the character does, then suddenly it becomes a different movie, and so did he as a character. Sam Mendes Are hackers a threat? The degree of threat presented by any conduct, whether legal or illegal, depends on the actions and intent of the individual and the harm they cause. Kevin Mitnick I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, - and the stars through his soul. Victor Hugo The job of mayor and Governor is becoming more and more like the job of university president, which I used to be; it looks like you are in charge, but you are not. Lamar Alexander And so Adam, in that his speech to Eve, uttered his faith in the promise made to her of her seed, and so in that respect Adam himself came in under her covenant. Thomas Goodwin Time is not a great healer. It is an indifferent and perfunct

one's own satisfaction or security, then the state of love exists. Under no other circumstances is a state of love present, regardless of the popular usage of the term. Harry Stack Sullivan I was like Gene Kelly, it was called singing in the rain. No seriously, I wasn't really born with a singing voice, but my friends Joe and John taught me how to sing. Chris Burke A reflection of an exact image is the closest thing to you-so that you can see it-but it's far enough away so that you really understand it. There is real life in this movie, but it hovers just an inch above reality. Wes Bentley What is interesting in this is the exchange of music that occurred between New Orleans and Cuba, I mean, they had ferries that would go from one port to another. Ruben Blades From the beginning of our history the country has been afflicted with compromise. It is by compromise that human rights have been abandoned. Charles Sumner I refuse to be held responsible for bringing

in his own beauty out of pride; that he is not really beautiful and he suspects this himself; for why does he look on the face of his fellow-man with such scorn? Comte de Lautreamont In fact, if you have a crime committed against you, and you go to have hypnosis, you can't testify. Because there's no way to test what is real, what's fact, what's fantasy. Betty Hill I don't really like to talk specifically about customers by name - but we work with nearly all the leading manufacturers of consumer products worldwide and at quite a detailed engineering level. David Milne The Woman's Party is made up of women of all races, creeds and nationalities who are united on the one program of working to raise the status of women. Alice Paul We all like stories that make us cry. It's so nice to feel sad when you've nothing in particular to feel sad about. Anne Sullivan Jesters do often prove prophets. Joseph Addison This discourse, and the present fr

be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections. Samuel Adams One thing I was thinking about is that they probably get their come-uppance about the same percentage that people in real life do. Basically, stealing for all practical purposes might as well be legal in New York. Mike Judge In this new century, our commitment to family and to faith, to community and opportunity, to freedom and to hope, will be the light that shines to lead us forward. Bill Owens If you look at the timing of many of the Greek dramas from the theatrical point of view, it's all off, and I think the reason for that is that music played a very important part. John Eaton When we stand up for America, we stand up for what America stands for, which is a safety net for our seniors and really helping our families be able to help themselves. Barbara Mikulski

your pulse steadies and the sun has found your heart, the day was not bad, the season has not been bad, there is sense and even promise in going on. Bernard DeVoto Tourism is a top priority activity for federal government, which is why it invests an average of over 2,500 million dollars a year in infrastructure works and integral projects that promote Mexico's culture and natural attractions. Vicente Fox I've done reasonably well over the last 10 years because I took the strategy of language and politics and applied it to the corporate world, which has never been done before. Frank Luntz A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night. Chanakya All action takes place, so to speak, in a kind of twilight, which like a fog or moonlight, often tends to make things seem grotesque and larger than they really are. Carl von Clausewitz You can't wait for

day closer to revolution and anarchy in this country. This is the sad, and yet potentially joyous, state of America. Louis Farrakhan Quit thinking that you must halt before the barrier of inner negativity. You need not. You can crash through... whatever we see a negative state, that is where we can destroy it. Vernon Howard Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it. Lenny Bruce I'm a former hippie, so clothes are important to me - your clothes defined you in that period. I guess clothes still defines people. But, I change a lot. I'm in my Brooks Brothers period now. John Hughes Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice. Ayn Rand When I'm actually assembling a scene, I assemble it as a silent movie. Even if it's a dialog scene, I lip read what people are saying

and they lifted me up on a harness and a safety rope really, really high, and they just dropped me down into the devil's snare. Rupert Grint Baseball people, and that includes myself, are slow to change and accept new ideas. I remember that it took years to persuade them to put numbers on uniforms. Branch Rickey I actually would love to live in New York. But I need land; I need space. I'd love to move to a place where I could have a lot of land and a goat. Lusia Strus One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something. Nolan Ryan We emerged from the events of September 11 more steadfast in our beliefs, more courageous in our actions and more determined to protect our values than ever before. Jane D. Hull The gospel comprises indeed, and unfolds, the whole mystery of man's redemption, as far forth as it is necessary to be known for our salva

religious convictions, not performed same sex marriages. It has happened in Saskatchewan. Stockwell Day Without the brave efforts of all the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines and their families, this Nation, along with our allies around the world, would not stand so boldly, shine so brightly and live so freely. Lane Evans All successful employers are stalking men who will do the unusual, men who think, men who attract attention by performing more than is expected of them. Charles M. Schwab Notwithstanding this high Ecclesiastical authority, he who dared accept truth only because it could be proved, or proved to be good, and disregard authority, was commonly stigmatized as an infidel. Ethan A. Hitchcock Most reporters who come to me get their stories directly from press releases. Very few do what one would consider to be their professional duty. Joey Skaggs I think most people see drawing as subservient to the subject, a sort of meditation, a studying, a searching ob

do if he wins, and a winner doesn't talk about what he'll do if he wins, but knows what he'll do if he loses. Eric Berne My heart is so light that it's amazing. I get to play all this grief, all this loss, all this disaster and chaos. It's hysterically funny. I am very light. Linda Hamilton Perhaps the methods I needed to complete the proof would not be invented for a hundred years. So even if I was on the right track, I could be living in the wrong century. Andrew Wiles In the final analysis there is no other solution to man's progress but the day's honest work, the day's honest decision, the day's generous utterances, and the day's good deed. Clare Boothe Luce Fame comes with its own standard. A guy who twitches his lips is just another guy with a lip twitch - unless he's Humphrey Bogart. Sammy Davis, Jr. The fundamental problem with program maintenance is that fixing a defect has a substantial chance of introducing another.

loyalty and devotions, as well of my determination to serve you and the people of Canada to the utmost of my abilities. Romeo LeBlanc A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practise perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice. Mahatma Gandhi He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore. Sigmund Freud Congress, the press, and the bureaucracy too often focus on how much money or effort is spent, rather than whether the money or effort actually achieves the announced goal. Donald Rumsfeld Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds. Benjamin Disraeli We are increasingly recognising and accepting, respecting and celebrating, our cultural diversity. Julie Bishop In our life th

on in your life, or in the politics of the world around you, it is wonderful to go into that studio, and tell yourself what to do. Suzanne Farrell The Lord did not bless us with any children of our own, so we gathered up little waifs whom we thought would be neglected and would not be cared for unless we brought them into our family. John Harvey Kellogg We made one film called Thy Neighbor's Wife in which I got flogged at the public whipping post for adultery. I did my best acting in that film, I guess. Cleo Moore The goal of this Nation, I so strongly believe, is to be a preeminent world power. We have to understand what comes with that: The responsibility to be strong. Jeff Sessions It is often better to have a great deal of harm happen to one than a little; a great deal may rouse you to remove what a little will only accustom you to endure. Grenville Kleiser It was always said that the big distinction between the French and the English is that the English are inte

same reverence as you would like your favourite chair and not be seduced by the constant innovation otherwise you never do anything. Colin Greenwood The truth about Hamas and Islamic Jihad is that they don't prevent Israel from existing or even flourishing, they prevent Palestine from coming into existence. Michael Medved Men would find it much harder because men have such odd personal relationships with each other. They don't really emotionally connect, whereas women do. I think women become very close. Jennifer Saunders If all of us acted in unison as I act individually there would be no wars and no poverty. I have made myself personally responsible for the fate of every human being who has come my way. Anais Nin Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody. Benjamin Franklin I only direct in self-defense. Mel Brooks The fact of the matter is, you don't give

because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and, above all, timesaving to make them identical. Michael Ende There's a big difference between wanting to work and having to work. And I had to learn that the hard way. Now money is very important to me, because I ain't got it. James Caan If you can't find the next McDonald's, I'll find the next McDonald's. But it's vital to be with people who with looking for 'em, because they do exist. They are created. Jim Cramer On the question of relating to our fellowman - our neighbor's spiritual need transcends every commandment. Everything else we do is a means to an end. But love is an end already, since God is love. Edith Stein I love Los Angeles, and I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic. Andy Warhol As a former teacher and a mother and grandmother, I know firsthand the importanc

all of a sudden they've reached puberty, they believe that they like women. Actually, you're just horny. It doesn't mean you like women any more at twenty-one than you did at ten. George William Curtis There are tons of people who are late to trends by nature and adopt a trend after it's no longer in fashion. They exist in mutual funds. They exist in clothes. They exist in cars. They exist in lifestyles. Jim Cramer Sometimes I want to clean up my desk and go out and say, respect me, I'm a respectable grown-up, and other times I just want to jump into a paper bag and shake and bake myself to death. Wendy Wasserstein I'm a comedian, for God's sake. Viewers shouldn't trust me. And you know what? They're hip enough to know they shouldn't trust me. I'm just doing stand-up comedy. Dennis Miller I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court. K

measuring the behavior of your lower body in space and trying to figure out what we can do to preserve bone and muscle density. John L. Phillips Today, Web services is really about developing for the server. What it means to developers is any set of systems services that you make a Web service you to access by any kind of device with a highly interactive client, not just a browser. John Fowler One I built when I was a kid, and it was a real miniature of Disneyland. I fell in love with the park when I went there with my parents on my 12th birthday. Bobby Sherman The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. Barbara Kingsolver For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged. Alice Walker When I entered medical physics in 1958 there were fewer t

grant you any slack. Agents are in from Hollywood. Your friends are there. People who are going to spread the word-of-mouth. If something doesn't work, everyone will know. Peter Stone Many now born, by the time they are voters will compose part of a nation with a genius nowhere equaled, and with a vast territory upon which those energies and that genius can operate. Richard Parks Bland To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt. Mikhail Bakunin Was there ever such stuff as great as part of Shakespeare? Only one must not say so! But what think you? - What? - Is there not sad stuff? What? - What? George III of the United Kingdom Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going to fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why. Eddie Cantor You have to look at the h

be built or rented and Teachers hired for this purpose, and the farmers and planters are to pay the Taxes in support of this. Knute Nelson I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles M. Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family. Mark Hamill We started getting the script to different people and we were in the business of trying to fund it so we could get it off and running, and all the characters and sets designed and everything. Don Bluth Captain Hale, alone, without sympathy or support, save that from above, on the near approach of death asked for a clergyman to attend him. It was refused. He then requested a Bible; that too was refused by his inhuman jailer. William Hull We all sing about the things we're thinking; musicals are about expressing those emotions that you can't talk about. It works a real treat. Anthony Head I wasn't making it with th

quite knew what it was, and most publishers didn't have an adult fantasy list. They had science fiction lists, which they stuck a little bit of fantasy into. Terri Windling I think you can judge from somebody's actions a kind of a stability and sense of purpose perhaps created by strong religious roots. I mean, there's a certain patience, a certain discipline, I think, that religion helps you achieve. George W. Bush The summer of 1830 I... blasted the tunnel through the rock to take water from the dam above the falls for the mill... In 1831 we lowered the tunnel four feet, and built a new dam across the creek. Ezra Cornell If you are any competent musician, if you have creative ideas, ideas of songs, of arrangements, in a band like the Stones, where these 2 people do all the things, there is no freedom. Bill Wyman Not by appointment do we meet delight Or joy; they heed not our expectancy; But round some corner of the streets of life they of a sudden greet us wit

come from the inside out. To have genuine empathy, not as a make-nice tool but as an understanding, is essential to the next step. Patricia Sun I'm playing a very strong character, it's the story of the woman Polish Jews out of the Warsaw ghetto. I've just begun my weapons training and the SAS type training that's getting me fit. Sadie Frost I have not much interest in anyone's personal history after the tenth year, not even my own. Whatever one was going to be was all prepared before that. Katherine Anne Porter The fleet being thus more inclosed will more readily observe the signals, and with greater facility form itself into the line of battle a circumstance which should be kept in view in every order of sailing. William Falconer All school districts receive funds from the federal government, through the Department of Education, to support anti-drug education efforts. John Walters He plants trees to benefit another generation. Caecilius Statius W

at home doing a cake for the fun of it anymore. But it's an extremely happy and pleasureable business to run because people are generally buying cakes for celebrations. Jane Asher Our children are not going to be just 'our children' - they are going to be other people's husbands and wives and the parents of our grandchildren. Mary Calderone The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man's right to his body, or woman's right to her soul. Emma Goldman What you will be looking for is a day that closes above the prior day's high and most likely 'breaks' out to the upside to close above a trading range. This is the twitching worm that causes the public to leap before they look. Larry Williams I really like Alan Jackson, in Country Music. I think he's really very, very talented along with George Jones, and Merle Haggard, the same old favorites.

and visiting and I really put a lot of effort into it. I'm really not the one that's not available because of work and I'm very sad when I actually leave. Franka Potente No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free, no one ever will. Chance is the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign. Anatole France For some reason, I grew up generally believing that Japan and Korea were quite friendly. I do know that there is some bad history and the extremists on both sides are unreasonable. Joichi Ito The president appoints the judges. Your lives and your children's lives can change by all of these appellate court judges who will be appointed who will reinterpret laws, and things can change. Johnnie Cochran Artists don't talk about art. Artists talk about work. If I have anything to say to young writers, it's stop thinking of writing as art. Think of it as work. Paddy Chayefsky In this Epistle, the Apostle seeks, with great ea

my job as a father is to protect them, to allow them a safe place to grow up and to teach them what I've learned. Ernie Hudson Short-story writing requires an exquisite sense of balance. Novelists, frankly, can get away with more. A novel can have a dull spot or two, because the reader has made a different commitment. Lynn Abbey Experts say that Iraq may have nuclear weapons. That's bad news - they may have a nuclear bomb. Now the good news is that they have to drop it with a camel. David Letterman The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals. William James You can only have one first born child. You may love all your children deeply and with passion, but there is something unique about the first born. Raymond E. Feist When I was a boy I used to do what my father wanted. Now I have to do what my boy wants. My pro

years on a project, I need to be interested in the whole thing. I'm not there to be on my own. And if I'm going to be with these people, I'd best be interested in their work. Mary McDonnell Conversion is a very, very important part of what you are doing. We will have a responsibility to report to Heavenly Father regarding those we bring into the Church. Richard G. Scott Turning back the pages of my sweet shattered dream, I wonder if she'll ever do the same; And the thing that I call living is just being satisfied With knowing I've got no one left to blame. Gordon Lightfoot With freedom comes responsibility, and I can think of no responsibility greater than putting on a U.S military uniform and standing in the gap between an enemy threat and civilian life. Zack Wamp There was always a love-hate relationship with New York in the rest of the country, but I made them feel more love than hate. Ed Koch Those who'll play with cats must expect to be scra

information not available to the general public, nor does it cloak the inmate with special rights of freedom of speech. Pete Wilson They made a shrewd guess that I could give them some useful information, and they were the first to meet me. Some one said they came to arrest me, and - well, let it go at that. Joshua Slocum You don't have to make, you know, $3 Million dollars a movie, or $20 Million dollars a movie, but if you make a living doing what you love doing, then that's success to me. Ving Rhames Quite a lot of our contemporary culture is actually shot through with a resentment of limits and the passage of time, anger at what we can't do, fear or even disgust at growing old. Rowan Williams The Declaration of Independence I always considered as a theatrical show. Jefferson ran away with all the stage effect of that... and all the glory of it. John Adams You can be on top of everything, and the next minute, you're going to be on the bottom. Pam Grie

of a sudden they didn't wanna hang out with me anymore. And I would have hung out with them. I mean they were killing themselves, but I still would have hung out with them. John Wozniak Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason. Leonardo da Vinci Control over the use of one's ideas really constitutes control over other people's lives; and it is usually used to make their lives more difficult. Richard Stallman It hurts the spirit, somehow, to read the word environments, when the plural means that there are so many alternatives there to be sorted through, as in a market, and voted on. Lewis Thomas I honestly have no strategy whatsoever. I'm waiting for that script to pop through the letterbox and completely surprise me. Ben Kingsley It doesn't matter how new an idea is: what matters is how new it becomes.

the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end. Jean Paul If you work in casting, it's sort of not cool to want to act. A lot of people think that casting directors are frustrated actors, but it wasn't true with any of the casting people I knew. Catherine Keener I don't think that a company should own a studio and the network, and program for their own network. It hurts the creativity - it is not a level playing field. Scott Bakula I started on a very high note and I was alwasy able to choose. I want to be able to do that until my last breath. And to do that, you have to have money. Claire Bloom It has been well over half a century and I'm glad to say we have taken the right path from authoritarianism to democracy and this is a road of no return. Chen Shui-bian When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things - not the great

Palestinian Arabs somehow or other will either accept third-class status, or they will pick up and go away. Now, this isn't happening. Arthur Hertzberg There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five, by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity. Arthur Schopenhauer The newspaper is a marvelous medium. It is extraordinarily convenient and cheap. Let's see. This one cost 75 cents. Now that's a little high. I bought it when I was downtown this morning. Harrison Salisbury I broke down while at Oxford, was rejected by a record number of medical tribunals during the War, and finally got permission to leave Oxford and do civilian work till the War ended. Leonard Alfred George Strong We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came. John F. Kennedy Love won't be tampered wit

its way through ages, increasing friendly understanding among nations, for the good of a humanity always more enthusiastic, more courageous and more pure. Pierre de Coubertin Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments; but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures. Joseph Addison The foundation for future prosperity is built on the bedrock of good jobs and great schools. We are building a strong foundation one job at a time and one educated Texan at a time. Rick Perry Speaking of tax fairness, it was Senator Kerry who voted to increase the income tax on senior citizens on Social Security, earning as little as $32,000 a year. William Weld I'm sad to see the passing of the great drug warriors. I certainly did my part in that battle and I don't regret any of it. Marc Maron I'd have to say that, in general, models take themselves too seriously. Basically, they are genetic freaks who spend

the costs were very small. They were less than they'd had to spend to host a convention of transportation executives. The cost was not that great. Major Owens You know what it's like to persuade a pigheaded child to do something they don't want to. If they hear the same suggestion from someone else, they'll go right off and do it. Mary Wesley While that amendment failed, human cloning continues to advance and the breakthrough in this unethical and morally questionable science is around the corner. Mike Pence What everyone in the astronaut corps shares in common is not gender or ethnic background, but motivation, perseverance, and desire - the desire to participate in a voyage of discovery. Ellen Ochoa Probably the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing-fields of Eton, but the opening battles of all subsequent wars have been lost there. George Orwell Strategy requires thought, tactics require observation. Max Euwe Ignorant men don't know what goo

for the benefit of the American consumers, and to make sure that they are in compliance with all federal laws. Mike Johanns The Maria Mayer shell model suggestion in 1949 was a great triumph and fitted my belief that a nuclear shell model should represent a proper approach to understanding nuclear structure. James Rainwater I used to get quite upset that I'd make friends with a guy or a girl and then within the space of three years we'd move and go and live somewhere else, and you'd have to say goodbye to that person. Dominic Monaghan I've been wanting to go into music ever since I can remember. I mean even before I became an actor. I just thought it would be a tough field to break into, so I became an actor instead. River Phoenix The only sensible ends of literature are, first, the pleasurable toil of writing; second, the gratification of one's family and friends; and lastly, the solid cash. Nathaniel Hawthorne I shall begin my march for Camp tomorro

it, What the results might be and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead. Chanakya Out of fifty mathematical papers presented in brief at such a meeting, it is a rare mathematician indeed who really understands what more than half a dozen are about. E. T. Bell There's a bit of debate about that; some say it was really Matthew, but the popular consensus is that Mark was the first one, so that's why I did that one first. And I was planning on doing all four. Chester Brown The riot isn't seen in the movie, but it is alluded to. He has this one speech that gives a great sense of texture and paints a picture of what was happening in Harlem then. Debbie Allen We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up. Phyllis Diller Death is softer by far than tyranny. Aeschylus Guess what - I am one of th

are without a chain; that you have the right to explore all heights and depth; that there are no walls nor fences, nor prohibited places, nor sacred corners in all the vast expanse of thought. Robert Green Ingersoll I believe in the equality of man; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy. Thomas Paine In Uzbekistan, hundreds of protesters were recently killed under the corrupt regime of President Karimov in what human rights groups are calling a massacre. Ed Markey First of all we have to recognize that despite all the problems - and in some cases failures - that this regime has been much more successful, much more resilient, than people had anticipated. Mitchell Reiss I think it talks about the fact that there are black people in the world who have tremendous amount of talents and have no channel through which they can those talents. Joe Morton Political power grows out of the barrel

are on something around average earnings you really don't have that spare capacity to pay for all these follies that Labour keep spending their money on. John Redwood In the heat of our campaigns, we have all become accustomed to a little anger and exaggeration. Yet, on the whole, our political process has served us well. Edmund S. Muskie An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry. Thomas Jefferson Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us. Voltaire Also, I plan to screw something up on every movie I do so that I can learn from my mistakes and become a better director with each project. Richard King If we don't start playing better on defense, it's going to be hard. We can't just sit there and w

given to governments by bankers, like the advice they gave to industrialists, was consistently good for bankers, but was often disastrous for governments, businessmen, and the people generally. Carroll Quigley Activists are generally doers - rather than watching television and thinking about the world they will put there energies into doing something 'active' to change the (political) situation. Ben Edwards People here in Los Angeles are disgusted now about a sex scandal involving Arnold Schwarzenegger. Apparently for seven years, he carried on a sexual relationship with his own wife. Craig Kilborn The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country. J. Robert Oppenheimer Law builds upon and, I should like to claim, is one of the liberal arts. It uses words of persuasion and changing definitions for practical ends. Edward Levi A pupil is a great resource.

this worthy effort with a flawed privatization scheme that takes the 'security' out of Social Security. Mary Landrieu I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant. H. L. Mencken A critical factor in its success was that the X developers were willing to give the sources away for free in accordance with the hacker ethic, and able to distribute them over the Internet. Eric S. Raymond The issue is not abortion. The issue is whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do. Howard Dean Substance must emanate from spirit and is nothing else than the record of the spirit's conception of itself finding expression in space and time. Paul Twitchell I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine. Frit

So why don't we learn as much as we can about it and become comfortable with ourselves as sexual human beings because we are all sexual? Sue Johanson There are millions of ways for people to die, if you number each vital organ, each ways it can fail, all the poisons from the earth and the sea which can cause these failures. Steven Brust I don't make an effort to be sloppy. I just don't consider a perfect hairdo and a perfect face to be beautiful. If I had my way I'd dress myself and do my own makeup for magazine shoots. Juliette Lewis The war on drugs is wrong, both tactically and morally. It assumes that people are too stupid, too reckless, and too irresponsible to decide whether and under what conditions to consume drugs. The war on drugs is morally bankrupt. Larry Elder Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair. William Blake When I worked for Entertainment

one realises that here the foundations of physics have started moving; and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science. Werner Heisenberg That's right, fall in one pit and start over from the beginning! Well, thankfully my buddies practically tied me to my chair until I put in extra lives and I'm glad they did. David Crane Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance. Robert Collier Brian was the oldest, I was in the middle and Carl was the baby. I was the troublemaker. Brian got great grades and Carl got the kind of grades I did. I failed everything. I was too busy fighting and running wild. Dennis Wilson With acknowledgement of residues, we can be more easily prepared to grant the unit of science, the overlapping of disciplines, and the total coherence of all fa

is not the Mother alone. It is the Mother and the Father, the male and the female, sort of gradually having their marriage. Bede Griffiths In inquiring concerning the benefits of the plan proposed, I shall proceed upon the supposition that female seminaries will be patronized throughout our country. Emma Willard My mother and I will continue on some level that I haven't determined yet. I think my mother's a great character, and I have to say that giving my mother to the world has to be the biggest thrill of my writing career. James Ellroy To get the feel of how the slider should roll off of your index finger, use this grip and practice at half speed and roughly half the distance to the mound. Steve Carlton Hollywood... was the place where the United States perpetrated itself as a universal dream and put the dream into mass production. Angela Carter The important aspect shouldn't be whose administration it is, the important aspect should be how does the state

will be expanded so that the government can continue to participate in this vital research and provide hope to the millions of Americans with diseases that might be cured. Dianne Feinstein I expect an energy bill to increase and diversify supply and stabilize energy prices - not drive up energy costs in one part of the country to subsidize energy in another region. Pete Domenici The recognition of the art that informs all pure science need not mean the abandonment for it of all present art, rather it will mean the completion of the transformation of art that has already begun. John Desmond Bernal Young women, adolescent girls, are more subject to infection, sometimes at a rate of six times that of boys. That tells you a lot about the vulnerability of women. Stephen Lewis I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite. Gilbert K. Chesterton Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap cru

why horror is such a powerful genre. All you have to do is ask yourself what frightens you and you'll know what frightens me. John Carpenter We must do all we can to reduce congestion in our urban areas and increase access and mobility in our rural areas, and this extra funding will help us get there. John Warner I haven't turned into some rich monster. I've kept my perspective. But I am a bit spoiled. It's hard not to be a little spoiled by having a lot of money. Christine McVie Be good to yourself. Listen to your body, to your heart. We're very hard on ourselves, and we're always feeling like we're not doing enough. It's a terribly hard job. Marcia Wallace France is delighted at this new opportunity to show the world that when one has the will one can succeed in joining peoples who have been brought close by history. Francois Mitterrand That is what we are supposed to do when we are at our best - make it all up - but make it up so truly

ship unless you have seaman's paper's, and you can't get seaman's papers unless you have a job on a ship. There had to be a way to break through the circle, and he was the one who arranged it for me. Paul Auster Accessing capital to start a business can be a daunting process, especially for entrepreneurs who start out with a great idea, but have no real familiarity with the business world. Gavin Newsom I nursed men back to sanity who were driven to despair. I solicited clothes for the ragged children, for the desperate mothers. I laid out the dead, the martyrs of the strike. Mary Harris Jones As the treaty made with the United States was the first treaty entered into by your country with other countries, therefore the President regards Japan with peculiar friendliness. Townsend Harris The challenge in working in politics, particularly if you're working for a political party, is that everyone's a messenger. Frank Luntz Nations, like plants and huma

manly qualities - courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness - has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power. Joseph Conrad There are some people, you know, they think the way to be a big man is to shout and stomp and raise hell-and then nothing ever really happens. I'm not like that I never shoot blanks. Richard M. Nixon The theologians have recognized that the ideal is the imitation of God. If we be a part of such an organic thing, this thing is God to us, as I am God to the cells that compose me. Charles Fort When I'm winning, winning, winning with a certain way why would I mess with that? When I realised there was lot to be gained from failing in some people's eyes, it made it all the more interesting! Bob Mould Every moment of one's existence one is growing into more or retreating into less. One is always living a little more or dying a little bit. Norman Mailer The fact that I've achieved this so soon is just a bonus, I

use renewable resources. Some days I'm solar powered. Some days I'm wind powered. And some people in this room might think I'm hybrid gas-powered. You'll just have to guess which it is today. Bill Richardson I'd rather have happiness than money. People ask for it. Sometimes when I don't have it. I make other people's problems my problem because they want me to; they ask me to. Brenda Fassie To any artist, worthy of the name, all in nature is beautiful, because his eyes, fearlessly accepting all exterior truth, read there, as in an open book, all the inner truth. Auguste Rodin German businessmen are overwhelmed by the high cost of doing business. Inflexible rules, enforced by a burgeoning bureaucracy, discourage entrepreneurship. Suzanne Fields Most people are good at too many things. And when you say someone is focused, more often than not what you actually mean is they're very narrow. Chuck Close We must remember that Satan has his miracl

believer in God, and I have great faith, and I think that a spiritual connection with something is a really important part of our experience. That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the church. Shaun Cassidy It is essential to seek out enemy agents who have come to conduct espionage against you and to bribe them to serve you. Give them instructions and care for them. Thus doubled agents are recruited and used. Sun Tzu And yet I think of Christopher Reeve who said he would pay two million dollars to be able to feel pain again. What a courageous man! So I have to think that pain is a blessing. Ricardo Montalban The poetry of heroism appeals irresistibly to those who don't go to a war, and even more to those whom the war is making enormously wealthy. It's always so. Louis-Ferdinand Celine There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends. Ho

I felt at that time it was the right thing do. If I knew then what I know now, I would have never voted for the war. Ken Lucas When Kenny first came to me, I think he was thinking of making a nice little folk record, but in my opinion, folk music had come to an end and I felt he needed to go to the next step, the next generation. Jim Messina Style is not something applied. It is something that permeates. It is of the nature of that in which it is found, whether the poem, the manner of a god, the bearing of a man. It is not a dress. Wallace Stevens My favorite work is The Full Monty because I got an Oscar for it. But it was really hard work at the time. Sometimes comedy is not a bundle of laughs to actually do. Anne Dudley We were contracted to make a soundtrack album but there really wasn't enough new material in the movie to make a new record that I thought was interesting. Roger Waters What surrounds us we endure better for giving it a name - and moving on. Emile

and make sure it's there for a long time. I've been working on being able to let things go. I don't think I ever want to buy property again. Ricky Williams I named it that because more or less each person from the band used to play in other bands and when we left respective bands other members from those bands all sort of changed round. It was a big sort of move thing. I got it from that, I suppose. Roy Wood I'm friends with Carla Olsen and she's doing a lot of producing these days. She's getting quite a little collection of records that she's produced. She's real busy. Kathy Valentine There's accountability in the mutual fund industry. And they've been tremendous engines of wealth for people and they're going to continue to be so. Jim Cramer A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst, he has the company of a boy, a youth, and by and by a grown man - the one he used to be. Cesare Pavese Fear is your greatest ob

of its journey. We can do this by promising to be patient, calm and tolerant and by respecting the views of others, even if we disagree with them. Josefa Iloilo If I'd have went on the ice when this thing happened, someone would have speared me or something. It's a great feeling of accomplishment and pride. They had to do it; it was their moment. Herb Brooks One can become enthusiastic over anything. For a time I was delighted with bomb throwing. It gave me a tremendous pleasure to bomb those fellows from above. Manfred von Richthofen I do not believe in sex distinction in literature, law, politics, or trade - or that modesty and virtue are more becoming to women than to men, but wish we had more of it everywhere. Belva Lockwood Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest. Friedrich Nietzsche It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others

ways for Americans to build wealth and save for retirement. I believe we can work together in a bipartisan manner to accomplish these goals. Debbie Stabenow We're about to shoot an episode on Air Force One, for instance, and we're going to take liberties, small liberties, with Air Force One, as we take small liberties with our White House set. Aaron Sorkin I admire a person who, for the love of art, is able to take off their clothes in front of a camera. But I'm not capable, I'm too cowardly for that. Shakira We developed during the 1990s a series of budget process rules that helped us bring to heel these deficits, diminishing every year and moving the budget so into surplus. John Spratt To be alive, to be able to see, to walk, to have houses, music, paintings - it's all a miracle. I have adopted the technique of living life miracle to miracle. Arthur Rubinstein It is peoples' fantasies of what is true that is so extraordinary. That that we were b

understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world. Erich Fromm To us, basing stories on christianity is the same as basing stories on Roman mythology, Native American folklore, or unsubstantiated government conspiracies. Richard King I've got a stag weekend coming up and I've said I'm not doing anything more than a few drinks. I won't have it. I'll go home and watch Antiques Roadshow. Martin Freeman I tell people, if you really want me to look that good, why don't you cough up about $2 million more and hire Alec or Billy? If you want me to do it, this is what you get. Daniel Baldwin Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character. Hosea Ballou Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across th

amount of fear in me, because maybe the people are not going to accept what I'm doing today. That's bad for any artist, especially if what you're doing is not in line with what's happening today. Jimmy Rushing If there is dissatisfaction with the status quo, good. If there is ferment, so much the better. If there is restlessness, I am pleased. Then let there be ideas, and hard thought, and hard work. If man feels small, let man make himself bigger. Hubert H. Humphrey We know that a man can read Goethe or Rilke in the evening, that he can play Bach and Schubert, and go to his day's work at Auschwitz in the morning. George Steiner Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so exciting. Bill Gates It is often said that men are ruled by their imaginations; but it would be truer to say they are governed by the weakness of their ima

results as the craftsman shapes his handiwork, but rather to cultivate a growth by providing the appropriate environment, in the manner in which the gardener does this for his plants. Friedrich August von Hayek At one point, when I was 20 and living in Kentucky, I got shot - it was a land dispute over six inches of property that ran a hundred yards through my grandfather's land. It was really over the honor of my family and that of another family. Jack Bowman Security for agriculture merits serious concern by not only the agricultural community but our nation as a whole. The risk to the U.S. food supply and overall economy is real. Pat Roberts The Republican form of government is the highest form of government: but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature, a type nowhere at present existing. Herbert Spencer Americans need accurate information in order to consider Social Security reform. Too bad the media can't be counted upon to provide it. Herm

circumstances are what render every civil and political scheme beneficial or noxious to mankind. Edmund Burke We are people with all the hopes, dreams, passions, and faults of everyone else. Eighty percent of us are born into families with no history of dwarfism. Billy Barty When I first saw a Fellini movie, I came out of the movie theatre and decided to become a lawyer! I thought to myself, it's impossible to make something so beautiful! Roberto Benigni At that time, the academic orientation was rather technical contrary to that of the university, where art theory is very important. The teachers were renowned artists and among the best of that time. Ralph Allen The notion that one will not survive a particular catastrophe is, in general terms, a comfort since it is equivalent to abolishing the catastrophe. Iris Murdoch I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world. Marc Jacobs The expansion and so
