and don't think anything of personalities, or emotional conflicts, or of money, or of family distractions; it is amazing how quickly you get through those 5,000 steps. Edwin Land If programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative programs, by the same token they deserve to be punished if they restrict the use of these programs. Richard Stallman I very much feel that marriage is a sacrament and that sacrament should extend... to that legal entity of a union between what traditionally in our Western values has been defined as between a man and a woman. Bill Frist There were a lot of bad feelings when Lindsey first left the band. But there's been a lot of healing going on, growing up, maturing. The bond is a great deal stronger than what we first thought. Christine McVie We first fought the heathens in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change. Serj Tankian What each m

fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition too. Johnny Depp As you know, in this country Anglo-Americans are about 75 to 76 percent home ownership in this country, where Hispanics, African Americans are less than 50 percent. Alphonso Jackson As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time. Denis Waitley First and foremost, I would like to start off by saying that just because my husband is an entertainer, that does not mean that our personal business is for everyone's entertainment purposes. Kim Mathers Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten. John Dryden The roundness of life's design may be a sign that th

Islam, and in the contemporary world there is, as it happens, a crying need for the propagation of this Islamic virtue. Arnold J. Toynbee Hollywood didn't know if I was an actor or a nut or if I was this crazy character I was playing. I had developed an image of being a little bit unusual, different and wild. Nicolas Cage A reporter discovers, in the course of many years of interviewing celebrities, that most actors are more attractive behind a spotlight than over a spot of tea. Phyllis Battelle It's the boredom that kills you. You read until you're tired of that. You do crossword puzzles until you're tired of that. This is torture. This is mental torture. Jack Kevorkian I think it's bad to talk about one's present work, for it spoils something at the root of the creative act. It discharges the tension. Norman Mailer In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine gu

'The Enemy.' They are the revolution, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow - and they will win. Michael Moore I thought about how we need to make children feel that there are times in their lives when they need to be alone and quiet and to be able to accept their aloneness. bell hooks It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are - not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within - that you can begin to take control. Oprah Winfrey To me, sex is sex and I don't think it is or should be a problem. Maybe my presenting it that way will unscrew up a few heads out there, including my own. Jaime Hernandez The heart is a small thing, but desireth great matters. It is not sufficient for a kite's dinner, yet the whole world is not sufficient for it. Francis Quarles Love, like a chicken salad or restaurant hash, must be taken with blind faith or it loses its flavor. Helen Rowland A nation without dregs and malc

I've found a lot of evidence from the life of the Prophet to show that he allowed certainly, but even encouraged, music at certain times. Cat Stevens In LA, I mean, here's this place full of desperate and sad people who take their only pleasure from destroying others for the purposes of their own self-aggrandizement. Heather Donahue I don't like going to the mall. I'm not really like the other girls. I just like to go out on the golf course and play. Golf is fun and feels really good. Michelle Wie Many who have had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confuse it with arithmetic, and consider it an arid science. In reality, however, it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination. Sofia Kovalevskaya People in cities may forget the soil for as long as a hundred years, but Mother Nature's memory is long and she will not let them forget indefinitely. Henry Cantwell Wallace There's no abiding success without commitment. To

and a steak in the evening. In fact, I eat to basically satisfy my hunger. I hardly have the time to appreciate a meal, and I'm everything, but a gourmet. Milla Jovovich I don't go to clubs and stuff like that, so I don't have to put up with it in there. And normally, because obviously I could hurt somebody, and if I look at it that way, I have to back off. Bubba Smith If you have a craftsman's command of the language and basic writing techniques you'll be able to write - as long as you know what you want to say. Jeffery Deaver Basically, I'm a really bad interviewer. I love meeting celebrities, but then I get a bit bored. Once you meet them you thing, 'really, what an ordinary person'. Graham Norton We know the past and its great events, the present in its multitudinous complications, chiefly through faith in the testimony of others. Matthew Simpson Silence is more musical than any song. Christina Rossetti All government, of course, is

that there was no respirator, and no protection against them that we knew of. So the soldiers would have been unable to protect themselves against this gas in any way. Albert Speer If Bret went in there and stunk the place out, then they probably wouldn't have brought the little brother in. So just by being successful himself, it opened the door for me. Owen Hart It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character. Dale Turner In English, the sounds and melodies I created were an inspiration to me, and words came to me as I explored the sounds, and from there I was able expand on the meaning. Utada Hikaru Women ought to have representatives, instead of being arbitrarily governed without any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government. Mary Wollstonecraft Adversity makes men, and prosperit

it; consequently, the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning. George Orwell As another has well said, to handicap a student by teaching him that his black face is a curse and that his struggle to change his condition is hopeless is the worst sort of lynching. Carter G. Woodson There is nothing in the genius of America more precious today than the spirit of religious and political tolerance in its application to our own people. Paul Harris In a still hot morning, the tide went out and didn't come back in. This was not a spectacular event. The sea did not roll up like a scroll, like the sky in Revelations. It quietly withdrew. Ruth Park Using rhetorical questions in speeches is a great way to keep the audience involved. Don't you think those kinds of questions would keep your attention? Bo Bennett I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like

like to borrow the mirror, they're welcome. The books aren't there to accuse others - merely to raise issues and keep the debates alive. John Scott If people think I am gay, yeah, hey that doesn't bother me. Not at all. What would people think? To me I am such a heterosexual guy. It doesn't even, I don't even think about it. Jason Priestley I think we were just coming out and being ourselves, instead of operating within boundaries that other people had created. We decided to do away with those boundaries. Michael Giles How people keep correcting us when we are young! There is always some bad habit or other they tell us we ought to get over. Yet most bad habits are tools to help us through life. Jack Nicklaus I will accept no commission that would tend to create a rivalry with Grant. I want him to hold what he has earned and got. I have all the rank I want. William Tecumseh Sherman What a man has made himself he will be; his state is the result of his

say it, but there is no Latin explosion. I'm sorry. Four or five top box office people do not make it an explosion, and it's disgusting to me that people will perceive it that way. Rosie Perez Without greater support for childcare, parents of young children may be forced to choose cheaper, poor quality care for their children or fail to provide it entirely. Tim Johnson I wanted to show a normal young girl whose only difference was that she behaved in the way a boy might, without any sense of guilt on a moral or sexual level. Roger Vadim When you have mastered numbers, you will in fact no longer be reading numbers, any more than you read words when reading books You will be reading meanings. W. E. B. Du Bois Dancing is a wonderful training for girls, it's the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it. Christopher Morley I know he was definitely beaten by her. I saw it many times. But we had a different way of dealing with her. He

called chromosomes. The sperm carries the same number. Consequently, when the sperm unites with the egg, the fertilized egg will contain the double number of chromosomes. Thomas Hunt Morgan Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays. Henny Youngman Movie SF is, by definition, dumbed down - there have only been three or four SF movies in the history of film that aspire to the complexity of literary SF. Dan Simmons Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement. Florence Scovel Shinn The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions. Robert Wilson Lynd I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, esp

that we have abandoned our philosophy of contradictions in which we say we're all one but continue to try to win. Neale Donald Walsch I believe in having each device secured and monitoring each device, rather than just monitoring holistically on the network, and then responding in short enough time for damage control. Kevin Mitnick You want to balance the budget in this country? We change the salary structure for Congress and the President. Every year they don't balance the budget, we don't pay them. Daniel Keys Moran However, those who have used those words use half the sentence to fit their purpose, which, of course, I believe is to discredit me and the new Nation of Islam that has come up around me. Louis Farrakhan Sex and beauty are inseparable, like life and consciousness. And the intelligence which goes with sex and beauty, and arises out of sex and beauty, is intuition. D. H. Lawrence It's not rocket science. It's social science. Clement Mok

hearing on an issue of importance in our relations with Mexico is extremely important to our national interest, as well as theirs. William Weld You loan your friend money. You see them again, they don't say nothin' 'bout the money. 'Hi, how ya doin'? How's ya mama doing?' Man, how's my money doin'? Chris Tucker Readers will stay with an author, no matter what the variations in style and genre, as long as they get that sense of story, of character, of empathetic involvement. Dean Koontz I acted in junior high in the junior high school group, and then when I got into senior high I was, you know, the main actor of the senior high school. Richard Foreman We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history. Sonia Johnson As the population of Georgia increased dramatically, so did development. Roy Barnes My dreams were all my own; I acc

loved the way J.K. described everything; she's such a visually thinking person. You can't pass that up. Mary Grandpre I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. James Madison There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience. Jean de la Bruyere Unless things change radically, President Bush will be the first President since Herbert Hoover to have presided over a net loss of jobs during his administration. Tim Johnson The relationship between press and politician - protected by the Constitution and designed to be happily adversarial - becomes sour, raw and confrontational. Roger Mudd I love the winning, I can take the losing, but most of all I Love to play. Boris Becker THE GODS was my first professional band a

man or that I had an official position that compelled the Lord to help me in any other way than He would help any other man. John Harvey Kellogg There is already a mountain of evidence that Saddam Hussein is gathering weapons for the purpose of using them. And adding additional information is like adding a foot to Mount Everest. Ari Fleischer When authors who write literary fiction begin to write screenplays, everybody assumes that's the end. Here's another who's never going to write well again. Richard Russo After all these years, I'm finally into soccer. The World Cup is on, and my band is an international group - they're all around me, cheering in the hotel bars. Art Garfunkel My idea of feminism is self-determination, and it's very open-ended: every woman has the right to become herself, and do whatever she needs to do. Ani DiFranco I think people enjoyed LA Law so much, because it was the first show that delved into current events through the

at the lack of competition between nominees - I think a lot of it's imposed from the outside. Can I have my champagne now? Cate Blanchett The pleasure of one's effect on other people still exists in age - what's called making a hit. But the hit is much rarer and made of different stuff. Enid Bagnold Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had. David Beckham So, we're saying, if we can give developers and builders incentives to cut down on the regulatory barriers that are faced in this country, then we might be able to address the needs of affordable housing. Alphonso Jackson What you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes; there is only one Beethoven. Ludwig van Beethoven It's nice to see that look of alarm on the faces of the others. Graham Chapman

very brutality of the means by which the IRA were pursuing change was destructive of the trust upon which new possibilities would have to be based. Seamus Heaney Workers do not strike every day, they cannot do that the way they function in the capitalist economy. The way they have to live by selling their labor power makes that impossible. Ernest Mandel The world is full of novels in which characters simply say and do. There are certainly legitimate genres in which this is sufficient. But in real and lasting writing the character is. Ruth Park I hate the noise and hurry inseparable from great Estates and Titles, and look upon both as blessings that ought only to be given to fools, for 'Tis only to them that they are blessings. Mary Wortley Montagu I see myself on the cover of a magazine and I don't think that it looks like me at all. My first-ever photo shoot was for the cover of a lads' magazine. Elize Du Toit If someone is being absolutely critical of me as

in its conventional sense and has experienced the exaltation that this feeling produces can then renounce his new freedom so easily. Andre Breton Young people in my generation were sort of in lockstep, and it wasn't just the '40s, either. In the '30s and in the '50s it was the same. No one ever dropped out unless he got sick or got kicked out. John Knowles A vegetable garden in the beginning looks so promising and then after all little by little it grows nothing but vegetables, nothing, nothing but vegetables. Gertrude Stein When your mother asks, 'Do you want a piece of advice?' it is a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway. Erma Bombeck I know of no more disagreeable situation than to be left feeling generally angry without anybody in particular to be angry at. Frank Moore Colby War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying los

sure you know how to do. So you make an educated guess as to what you think will work and you hope between that and plan B, that you can end up with a product that's really good. John Dykstra I'm also very pleased that we were able to include a full orchestrated score for Dragon's Lair 3D. The 40 different music pieces blend with the action to make you feel more a part of the whole adventure. Don Bluth The idea that you earn things - that you earn respect, that you earn income, responsibility, the vote, punishment... these ideas are anathema to the liberal mind. Dennis Prager That's one of the peculiar things about bad moods - we often fool ourselves and create misery by telling ourselves things that simply are not true. David D. Burns Had we not loved ourselves at all, we could never have been obliged to love anything. So that self-love is the basis of all love. Thomas Traherne The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever

the condition of a perception, we place the perceived images of things outside the image of our body, and thus replace perception within the things themselves. Henri Bergson I was unpopular at school just because I was an intellectual. I always answered all the questions off the top of my head but they nevertheless resented because of that. George Woodcock I realised that God has placed Christians everywhere, to support each other, to support the needy in those areas, and that is the thing that I find is a great plus. Cliff Richard Do not try to push your way through to the front ranks of your profession; do not run after distinctions and rewards; but do your utmost to find an entry into the world of beauty. Constantin Stanislavski Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. Viktor E. Frankl I'm not really a political satirist. I don't kid myself. I'm more

they appreciate that we're doing it for ourselves. We're doing it our way, and how people like it is not up to us. We like it. James Hetfield And besides, I'm so in Dutch with my neighbors here that I thought that was better than getting them all upset with what might be a fake bomb scare where they'd have to clear out the whole neighborhood. Ernst Zundel There's no difference between one's killing and making decisions that will send others to kill. It's exactly the same thing, or even worse. Golda Meir Sometimes I write them down in musical notation as a trigger to remind me about certain directions to go. Or I can be specific about a sound I'm looking for. Harold Budd You know, sometimes, when they say you're ahead of your time, it's just a polite way of saying you have a real bad sense of timing. George McGovern Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so. Marcus Aurel

over someone, which is a form of cheating. I guess it wouldn't be right unless it was legal for everybody. Reason it's not legal for everybody is because it can hurt people seriously. Evander Holyfield There is no finer sensations in life that which comes with victory over one's self. Go forward to a goal of inward achievement, brushing aside all your old internal enemies as you advance. Vash Young The stark reality facing us today is that without the labour reforms, workers will get neither the income nor jobs in the face of cut-throat global economic competition. Kim Young-sam Simply by not owning three medium-sized castles in Tuscany I have saved enough money in the last forty years on insurance premiums alone to buy a medium-sized castle in Tuscany. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Everybody has to be reminded that there's another way to be. Another more mysterious, unpredictable way to be that's not necessarily based upon contrivances. Stanley Crouch I r

and raise a family. I intend to reach out from border to border to hear first-hand from our citizens about their thoughts, concerns and ideas for our state. Dave Heineman Most new jobs won't come from our biggest employers. They will come from our smallest. We've got to do everything we can to make entrepreneurial dreams a reality. Ross Perot I don't want to peak too early. The worry is that you never know until it's all over whether you peaked at all - and then you're finished and it's too late. Tom Courtenay Even if gas prices fall, consumers will continue to be gouged at the pump the only thing that we can be sure rises faster that the price of gasoline is the skyrocketing profits of oil companies. Major Owens There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history. It is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations. Claude Vorilhon The psychic task which a person can and must set for himself is not to feel secure, but t

on an island. But if Steven Spielberg or Steven Soderbergh or any number of directors were to say 'Hey, there's this role, are you interested?' I'd be there in a flash. Marg Helgenberger No problem can be solved until it is reduced to some simple form. The changing of a vague difficulty into a specific, concrete form is a very essential element in thinking. J. P. Morgan When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me. Emo Philips My mom, she is the most unbelievable mom that you could ever have in your entire life and she's always with me on everything. The most I've ever been away from her is two days. I love her more than anybody could ever know. Dakota Fanning I think that I've been pigeon-holed by virtue of the fact that I've spent so much time in front of a green screen. Jonathan Frakes Life is like an ice-cream cone, you

become more dependent on government and that the American people have become more dependent on corporations. Russell Means The war against terrorism should not be used to interfere with an independent, sovereign state. We need to identify concrete terrorist targets and do no harm to civilians. Nong Duc Manh The big nest was in Afghanistan, thats not quite cleared, then there are nests in the Philippines, there are nests in Indonesia, the Malaysians are clearing up their nests. Lee Kuan Yew 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. Stephen Lewis We obviously need more love in the world. And we obviously need more compassion and understanding. Our leaders need to really address these issues properly now. Dave Davies I don't care what TV show you work on, even a movie for that matter, it's all about time and money eventually. Nichol

are coming from commercials and there's no sense of film grammar. There's no real sense of how to tell a story visually. It's just cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, you know, which is pretty easy. Peter Bogdanovich I was out of my bed in one second, trembling with excitement, and I dashed to the door and into the adjoining room, where I could watch the streets below from the windows. Herman Hesse I had a big background in listening to classical music and I started trying to compose, like I was playing the guitar but I heard an orchestra in my head. John Fahey So for my studio purposes, I know that I'm in my studio with technicians who've done amazing things to my board and to my power amps and I know what I can deliver out of my studio. Billy Sherwood All of us aspire to give our children something more, leave a country to our children that is a better one, a stronger one, with better jobs and growth and opportunity. Byron Dorgan But the central point is that

the most destructive idea that has ever been visited upon the human race: the idea that there is such a thing as 'better.' Neale Donald Walsch But the newest research is showing that many properties of the brain are genetically organized, and don't depend on information coming in from the senses. Steven Pinker The large ensemble cast and the fact that it was being shot in New York, combined with a lot of strong positive images as far as African Americans are concerned, really turned me on to The Best Man. Taye Diggs It was like in Samoa when they'd put up a movie screen on the beach and show movies and the locals would run behind the sheet to see where the people went. It was pretty grim. Dick Wolf Google is in an amazing position to be the target of tons of lawsuits that will set precedent for many important things for us on the Internet. Joichi Ito If I had one wish for my children, it would be that each of them would reach for goals that have meaning f

towards the door to the dining-room. That was where Henry had held the platter tilted as he carried the steak in yesterday. And yet if she had warned him once about that, she had a thousand times! Dorothy Canfield Fisher I didn't follow the standard rules of bass playing, and many musicians on many different instruments who became noteworthy for their unique or particular style did a very similar thing. Billy Sheehan Where ambition can cover its enterprises, even to the person himself, under the appearance of principle, it is the most incurable and inflexible of passions. Angela Carter I don't know who will lead us through the '90s, but they must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society, this tumor of the soul. Lee Atwater Humor is something that thrives between man's aspirations and his limitations. There is more logic in humor than in anything else. Because, you see, humor is truth. Victor Borge It is imperative for the

was to start drawing, so I enrolled in a life drawing class. I soon discovered that people made very interesting subjects and I am still surprised that I had never discovered it before. Peter Wright When you find something where you can give people a message and still make it an exciting movie, you get very, very excited about something. You probably even work harder than you normally do. Roland Emmerich I understand everybody in this country doesn't agree with the decisions I've made. And I made some tough decisions. But people know where I stand. George W. Bush During my eighty-seven years I have witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none of them has done away with the need for character in the individual or the ability to think. Bernard Baruch You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye. Hunter S. Thompson For Satan always finds some mischief

but we won't overlook the character issue when it comes to talent because if they have talent and they don't have character, it's going to be very difficult to coach that person. Tim Buckley Your most precious, valued possessions and your greatest powers are invisible and intangible. No one can take them. You, and you alone, can give them. You will receive abundance for your giving. W. Clement Stone The Navy has changed a great deal. Not that the officers of my day were bad, because I served under a lot of good officers, believe me. But there were a few bad ones, too. Ernest Borgnine It has always been difficult for Man to realize that his life is all an art. It has been more difficult to conceive it so than to act it so. For that is always how he has more or less acted it. Havelock Ellis Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing. Bret Harte Perhaps it is be

if I meet a girl with no teeth, I just don't want to date her. It's creepy of me, I wish I was a bigger person, but that's my real turn-off. Peter Farrelly I enjoy being Jewish, but I'm an atheist... I hate fundamentalism in all its forms. Jews, Catholics, Baptists, I think they are all potty and capable of destroying the world. Warren Mitchell Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross A child, from the time he can think, should think about all he sees, should suffer for all who cannot live with honesty, should work so that all men can be honest, and should be honest himself. Jose Marti It seems like the good things that have happened in my career are things that you don't try to plan and push, and make it happen, it just seems to happen. Wanda Jackson I think probably the one tra

missile defense and put it in a place where it will do a lot of good, namely, in targeted pay increases to our enlisted personnel, particularly our NCOs and our junior warrant officers. John Spratt I mean I wasn't a founder in the sense that I contributed anything scientifically but in the sense that I signed the corporation papers and, and owned founder's stock. Arthur Rock The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home. David Suzuki The mullahs of the Islamic world and the mullahs of the Hindu world and the mullahs of the Christian world are all on the same side. And we are against them all. Arundhati Roy It was like there was a pile of kindling that was in the back of my imagination just waiting there. Once I lit it, it just flared up and I kept getting ideas and ideas. Kevin J. Anderson They say some of my star

people, not very intelligent and certainly no more intelligent than the rest of us, have mastered problems as difficult as those that now baffle you. William Feather The Sound of Music was just such an honour to be in, because it was a movie that appeals to so many people, and they just loved it so much and they still love it to this day. Angela Cartwright The men and women who serve in our military have won for us every hour we live in freedom, sometimes at the expense of the very hours of the lifetimes they had hoped to live. Bob Riley For instance, it's a little better now than it was two or three years ago, but something like 70% of the poems I receive seem to be written in the present indicative. Peter Davison What's the challenge in writing a novel that few people will read? I'm more than happy writing what I do and have no plans to change that. Nicholas Sparks I found every single laugh as Laertes that you can find and only realized later that you real

true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms - in themselves such judgments are stupidities. Friedrich Nietzsche The Lord Jesus will be revealed mightily, and will make bare his holy Arm, as well in the confusion of Antichrist, as in the conversion of the Jews, before the last judgment, and the end of all things. George Gillespie I was looking very much for a career. My second marriage to Stan Herman had ended, and I wanted very much to be independent, not take alimony from him, be on my own, do the right thing. Linda Evans Famous people feel that they must perpetually be on the crest of the wave, not realising that it is against all the rules of life. You can't be on top all the time, it isn't natural. Olivia De Havilland I expect the audience to come up to my level. I am not interested in compromising my music to make it palatable to an assumed sub-standard mass. Don Ellis Gold medals aren't really made of gold. T

bad to become more aware of my body. Since I've chosen acting as my career, I have to keep my weight down anyway-I've been used to it for years, so it's no problem. And there's nothing I can't do. Dana Hill There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction. George Orwell One does not lash hat lies at a distance. The foibles that we ridicule must at least be a little bit our own. Only then will the work be a part of our own flesh. The garden must be weeded. Paul Klee Hit the ball pretty solid. Haven't played a lot of golf this year, so was really unsure of what it would be like. I've been playing pretty well lately, especially hitting the ball solid. Trent Dilfer Anyone entrusted with power will abuse it if not also animated with the love of truth and virtue, no matter whether he be a prince, or one of the people. Jean d

planned and dictated, from stored information, by the cells? And that the time has come for men to be entrusted with the task, through heroic efforts, of bringing life to other worlds? Albert Claude In the scattered settlements of this Diocese, schools and Churches are of necessity for many years few in number, and multitudes of both sexes are growing up in great ignorance. John Strachan I hate banks. They do nothing positive for anybody except take care of themselves. They're first in with their fees and first out when there's trouble. Earl Warren I don't want to be Babe Ruth. He was a great ballplayer. I'm not trying to replace him. The record is there and damn right I want to break it, but that isn't replacing Babe Ruth. Roger Maris The strongest are those who renounce their own times and become a living part of those yet to come. The strongest and the rarest. Milovan Djilas Remember that when you meet your antagonist, to do everything in a mild ag

presence of a formidable menace to one's poise and prestige (such as the butler, or the man under the bed - but never the husband). James Thurber In the old days they, the promoters, wanted more and more from me. They wanted me to jump or spill my blood and break my bones. Every time they wanted me to jump further, and further, and further. Hell, they thought my bike had wings. Evel Knievel That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too. Angela Ruggiero I don't think radio is selling records like they used to. They'd hawk the song and hawk the artist and you'd get so excited, you'd stop your car and go into the nearest record store. Herb Alpert After I saw Kiss on stage, I wanted my show to look like the fourth of July. The persona of Rick James was wild and crazy, sex, drugs and rock and roll. Rick James I'll make mu

to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests. Gore Vidal I learned that kids in show business are so different from regular, average students. They would gather behind you and help you to succeed in any way possible. Wally George This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere. Fortune sells her wares; she never gives them. In some form or other, we pay for her favors; or we go empty away. Amelia Barr There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul. Arnold Bennett There are two ways of attaining an important end, force and perseverance; the silent power of the latter grows irresistible with time. Sophie Swetchine The joy of viewing land, the hope of in a few days ranging through the long wished-fo

on them and they can just talk and emote and react and you don't have to keep cutting away from them, because they are the language and the behavior. It's all a tour-de-force performance. Sally Kirkland Whenever I dwell for any length of time on my own shortcomings, they gradually begin to seem mild, harmless, rather engaging little things, not at all like the staring defects in other people's characters. Margaret Halsey Mr. President, it may surprise my colleagues, but I am no fan of federal disaster programs for agriculture. They are difficult to pass and often a disaster to implement. Pat Roberts The key to accepting responsibility for your life is to accept the fact that your choices, every one of them, are leading you inexorably to either success or failure, however you define those terms. Neal Boortz The humblest citizen of all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error. William Jennings Bryan People&#

just throw me down and take control. I love feeling helpless. I definitely like a man who is aggressive and confident. Carmen Electra There is a fundamental situation in which the country has reached rock bottom, that a mother can't send her children out of the house in the morning. The country has reached rock bottom and this needs to be changed. Benjamin Netanyahu I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within. Douglas MacArthur We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It's our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better. Jeff Bezos The paradox of education is precisely this - that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated. James A. Baldwin A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting. Carlos Castan

right now, for each and every one of these groups? If we believed in the tooth fairy, if we believed in the Easter Bunny, we might well believe that. William Weld I'm a great believer in the competitive system, and think that competition will bring us greater innovation and put American industry in information ahead of everyone also. Harold H. Greene Creationist critics often charge that evolution cannot be tested, and therefore cannot be viewed as a properly scientific subject at all. This claim is rhetorical nonsense. Stephen Jay Gould Central and western Pennsylvania has one of the best workforces in the country and this will provide job training, new skills and additional resources for those trying to find a job. Bill Shuster If you can't eat it, can't sleep under it, can't wear it or make something from it, it's not worth anything. Don Young Of all things, guard against neglecting God in the secret place of prayer. William Wilberforce I didn&#

be recognized. When I hear people say, 'There's Joan Crawford!' I turn around and say, 'Hi! How are you!' Joan Crawford When people say 'What are underground comics?' I think the best way you can define them is just the absolute freedom involved... we didn't have anyone standing over us. Robert Crumb The most efficient way to produce anything is to bring together under one management as many as possible of the activities needed to turn out the product. Peter Drucker The simple truth is, the short-term solution is for the FDA to allow more importation of safe vaccines from other nations. But the long-term solution is to get more vaccine production within the U.S. Larry Craig For us Australians, Singapore also represents sacred soil. Almost 2000 Australians died here in the defense of your island country and our neighborhood. Michael Jeffery It's very important to have the right clothing to exercise in. If you throw on an old T-shirt or

The boat has gone and left him. The cards are stacked against him. He's content to make out with what he's got. He knows he'll go no further. Emmett Kelly I dare say there may be some men and women in the Armed Forces who are so decent that they would say: Give the Iraqi people money, we do not want to be paid back. That is the strength of our country. Lindsey Graham Concepts of justice must have hands and feet to carry out justice in every case in the shortest possible time and the lowest possible cost. This is the challenge to every lawyer and judge in America. Warren E. Burger You go to Scandinavia, and you will find that people have a much higher standard of living, in terms of education, health care and decent paying jobs. Bernie Sanders Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal. Elbert Hubbard I learned the way a monkey learns - by watching its par

the inability to believe. Our complaints are like arrows shot up into the air at no target: and with no purpose they only fall back upon our own heads and destroy ourselves. William Temple The speed of communication, the speed of information transfer, the cheapness of communication, the ease of moving things around the world are a difference in kind as well as degree. Paul A. Volcker Animals can adapt to problems and make inventions, but often no faster than natural selection can do its work - the world acts as its own simulator in the case of natural selection. Vernor Vinge I found it an interesting portrait of a marriage in exploring notions of how one partner supports the other, whilst not jeopardizing the greater good - which is the family. Rachel Griffiths Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory. Thomas Beecham We all had lots of stories of our sad experiences - they mour

people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion. Thomas Jefferson To me it meant, just looking at it from a Maya point of view, it meant that Paul Miles is always moving laterally in his life. And she just wants him to take a couple of steps forward, you know? Virginia Madsen I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time. Charles Dickens And yes, there's a simplicity to writing books because you're not a member of a team, so you make all the decisions yourself instead of deferring to a committee. Bernard Cornwell The advancement of all sciences, especially where there has been such a radical change, have been attended with persecution. Daniel D. Palmer The New Testament evinces its universal design in i

law of the jungle, provides the clearest possible evidence of his lack of knowledge of economics. George Reisman Our writers are full of cliches just as old barns are full of bats. There is obviously no rule about this, except that anything that you suspect of being a cliche undoubtedly is one and had better be removed. Wolcott Gibbs Anticipation of movement, through muscular innervation and memory, by its retention of nerve impulse images, extend the present to the limit of a second or so. John Desmond Bernal It lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it. While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it. Learned Hand We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. In the faith that looks through death, in years that bring the philosophic mind. John Bacon Actually, my mother and Alfie came for three weeks' Christmas vacation and stayed for 21 years. I guess my mothe

to Colorado for Christmas, it should be for a minimum amount of time, the family tradition and family get-together aspect emphasized, and it be seen as a working vacation. Robert Teeter The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling. Thomas Sowell Something is wrong here, and it's more than easy access to guns or violence on TV. It's about lack of love and attachment to loving people early in life. Rob Reiner This is terrible, when a writer is bored by his own work, but it was a real bomb and had reached the point where I couldn't even stand to look at it any more. David Eddings If you procrastinate when faced with a big difficult problem... break the problem into parts, and handle one part at a time. Robert Collier Leaving America is like losing twenty pounds and finding a new girlfriend. Phil Ochs The extra

through economic manipulation, through cheating, through fraud, through seducing people into our way of life, through the economic hit men. I was very much a part of that. John Perkins I'm so in control of my life, you shouldn't dislike anything I do-because I'm not only in the best place I've ever been, but it keeps getting better and better. Drew Barrymore I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that's what I'm always looking for, a director that's going to help me go places I've never been before. Aaron Eckhart As with all my work, whether it's a leaf on a rock or ice on a rock, I'm trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things. Working the surface of a stone is an attempt to understand the internal energy of the stone. Andy Goldsworthy They used to say I was a younger Winona Ryder and that always made me laugh because I'm three years older than she is. Moira Kelly And in the aftern

tell the truth, and then you don't have to remember what you said. It has nothing to do with morality, just remembering what you said. Robert Evans An hour or two spent in writing from dictation, another hour or two in reading aloud, a little geography and a little history and a little physics made the day pass busily. Hudson Stuck In fact, the history of North America has been perhaps more profoundly influenced by man's inheritance from his past homes than by the physical features of his present home. Ellsworth Huntington I have brought myself, by long meditation, to the conviction that a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it, and that nothing can resist a will which will stake even existence upon its fulfillment. Benjamin Disraeli There is but one Church in which men find salvation, just as outside the ark of Noah it was not possible for anyone to be saved. Thomas Aquinas Vices are often habits rather than passions. Antoine Rivarol Sanctified

lived by it, we prospered and grew great by it. So the status quo has never been our god, and we ask no one else to bow down before it. Carl T. Rowan The idea of the show is that it's active and that children will become involved and watch the show, but also participate in the show. And I didn't know if that would work. Steve Burns It may be that religion is dead, and if it is, we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late. Pearl S. Buck It's certainly more interesting for me as an actor, but I think it's also more interesting for the audience to see three-dimensional characters, rather than just a bad guy or a good guy. Nicholas Lea The best loved by God are those that are rich, yet have the humility of the poor, and those that are poor and have the magnanimity of the rich. Saadi Celibacy is not a matter of compulsion. Someone is accepted as a priest only when he does it of his own accord

the population. It's a fact that most of the true believers are under eight years old, and that's a pity. Chris Van Allsburg No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself. Denis Waitley There is only one thing I want. I would like to be seriously ill, and to hear nothing more about him for at least a week. Why doesn't something happen to me? Why do I have to go through all this? If only I had never set eyes on him! Eva Braun The very greatest things - great thoughts, discoveries, inventions - have usually been nurtured in hardship, often pondered over in sorrow, and at length established with difficulty. Samuel Smiles A playwright must be his own audience. A novelist may lose his readers for a few pages; a playwright never dares lose his audience for a minute. Terence Rattigan Our bodies are shaped to bear chi

with a man called Tom Mix. I didn't have time to go to school because I was in silent movies, I was in radio, I was in burlesque, I worked with the circus. I'm all show business! George Sidney One of the things that made me persist in the Antarctic in the face of sickening discouragements was my determination to name a portion of the earth's surface after my father. Lincoln Ellsworth If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats. Richard Bach We will pursue every factor, every element, every second of the timeline, of the final hours of Maurice's life. We will pursue that relentlessly. That will be our quest from now on. Robin Gibb I think what we need is a more welcoming mode from the people who put on a hundred million country-western shows on television. How about a monthly jazz show? Sonny Rollins It is not the size of a man but the size of

kill themselves, they have every right to do so. Most of the harm that comes from drugs is because they are illegal. Milton Friedman I've found that when the market's going down and you buy funds wisely, at some point in the future you will be happy. You won't get there by reading 'Now is the time to buy.' Peter Lynch We have to fight radical Islam wherever it exists. It's in Afghanistan, it's in Saudi Arabia, throughout the Middle-East in big numbers and it's in the United States. Tom Tancredo Humanism was not wrong in thinking that truth, beauty, liberty, and equality are of infinite value, but in thinking that man can get them for himself without grace. Simone Weil It'd be stupid for me to sit here and say that there aren't kids who look up to me, but my responsibility is not to them. I'm not a baby sitter. Eminem The corporate lobby in Washington is basically designed to stifle all legislative activity on behalf of consumer

- both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis. Henri Cartier-Bresson The pleasure of writing fiction is that you are always spotting some new approach, an alternative way of telling a story and manipulating characters; the novel is such a wonderfully flexible form. Penelope Lively I was never able to convince myself that there was a cost-free alternative course, as from 1961, or that any of the different strategies since proposed, especially those involving stronger military action, would have made sense. William P. Bundy Fantastic! Right in the middle of that long stretch between Christmas and Spring Break, your coats are getting dirty, everything's dark, dingy - what a great time for a movie! John Hughes You can't rise as a class. You have to rise individually. It's what many of the civil rights-era people don't understa

ours which connects kings and farm boys, artists and clerks. Let them see that the important thing is not the object of love, but the emotion itself. Gore Vidal Nevertheless the meaning is not that the blessed bread which is divided, which is offered, and which the apostles received from the hand of Christ was not the body of Christ but becomes the body of Christ when the eating of it is begun. Martin Chemnitz I'd only read a bit of the first book. And I just knew about all the media furor over it. But I'd not read books 2 or 3. I'd just read a bit of it. And I'd seen the films. David Thewlis One of the speakers asked how many women had been harassed or abused sexually in their life? There were thousands of women in the audience, and almost every one of them raised her hand. Cheryl James Where there is a sufficient social movement of self-reliant communities, there can be political change. There must be political change. Jerry Brown Frankly, despite my ho

weird, crazy state. I think its making people think more about their life and what it is really that they are doing. And how do we interact with a world that's going crazy? It's a very important time. Dave Davies The real danger of writing a great song when you're on something is that it might get you thinking that the only way to repeat that is by only writing when you're high. Barry Mann You have two hemispheres in your brain - a left and a right side. The left side controls the right side of your body and right controls the left half. It's a fact. Therefore, left-handers are the only people in their right minds. Bill Lee Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them. Sydney Smith It is true that the politician, in his professional character, does not always, or even very often, conform to the most approved pattern of private conduct.

with critical infrastructure. The reality is that very little money has flowed to communities to help our first responders; to help our hospitals; to help the public health infrastructure. Bob Menendez Enthusiasm is not the same as just being excited. One gets excited about going on a roller coaster. One becomes enthusiastic about creating and building a roller coaster. Bo Bennett My challenge as a satirical artist is how to present ideas to people to enable them to question and reexamine their beliefs. My hope is, that my work provokes people to look at things in a new way. Joey Skaggs I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure. We are going to give everybody a sense of what exploring the surface of another world is really like. Steven Squyres If I were to live my life over again, I would be an American. I would steep myself in America, I would know no other land. Henry James He who asks of life nothing but the improvement of his

I am. I'm not talking big diva. I'm quiet. I'm shy. And I became stronger when I stopped trying to be the person they wanted me to be. Crystal Waters The very desire for guarantees that our values are eternal and secure in some objective heaven is perhaps only a craving for the certainties of childhood or the absolute values of our primitive past. Isaiah Berlin What then do you call your soul? What idea have you of it? You cannot of yourselves, without revelation, admit the existence within you of anything but a power unknown to you of feeling and thinking. Voltaire When I wrote The Virgin Suicides, I gave myself very strict rules about the narrative voice: the boys would only be able to report what they had seen or found or what had been told to them. Jeffrey Eugenides Excitement in education and student productivity, the ability to get a result that you want from students, go together and cannot be separated. Major Owens Children have never been very good a

it might turn into a big nightmare with all sorts of hassles because back in those days everybody was smoking pot and taking acid. Johnny Rivers When you stand up acoustic in front of an audience, you really are a man without any clothes on. And that can be fun - it depends how much of an exhibitionist you are, I suppose. I quite enjoy it. Richard Thompson I really enjoy acting. At home I can't even finish a sentence, and here I am reading these wonderful lines. I think it must be every housewife's dream, to be an actress part-time. Meg Tilly It was not just that Ross Macdonald taught us how to write; he did something much more, he taught us how to read, and how to think about life, and maybe, in some small, but mattering way, how to live. Robert B. Parker We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium. Ansel Adams There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady&

someone who isn't even allowed to board an airplane in this country can purchase as many real guns he wants with no questions asked. Carolyn McCarthy I'm sometimes critical about other artists who come out with something different until maybe I hear the music. If the music is there, then they did their job, and I'll enjoy the CD. Brian Austin Green At the same time we overlap, because, I do linguistics, and Ben did a first degree in Linguistics at Lancaster University, so he knows some of my subject. David Crystal I was gaining weight very rapidly and read about the idea of restricting carbohydrates as an alternative to going hungry. I had a big appetite, so that was the only thing I would even consider. Robert Atkins Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together. Earl Nightingale There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yours

of this day has not changed - it remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and democracy. Doc Hastings I cannot but think that it would be a great step if mankind could familiarise themselves with the idea that they are spirits incorporated for a time in the flesh re spirits incorporated for a time in the flesh. Catherine Crowe He is a very positive captain; he is proactive as well as reactive. He is keen to read the game, to get in there, and he never stops thinking about the game, the situation, and trying to turn it to his advantage. He has been very good for the game. David Gower The infrastructure of the US is a long-term suspension of disbelief that such things won't be exploded deliberately by people who don't create anything. Dave Winer The splendid discontent of God With chaos made the world. And from the discontent of man The worlds best progress springs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox I think empathy is a beautiful thing. I think that's the

her, and I would not consent to it, and this Moore said I always hindered them making their fortunes. Was that not the reason I struck him? Was there a mutiny on board? William Kidd If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated. Carter G. Woodson I have never had a lap dance in Tampa or any other part of Florida. If I ever did have a lap dance, I don't think I would be discussing television ideas with the girl that was giving it to me. Stan Lee I have seen how effective language attached to policies that are mainstream and delivered by people who are passionate and effective can change the course of history. Frank Luntz Hey, over here! Have your picture taken with a reclusive author! Today only, we'll throw in a free autograph! But wait, there's more! Thomas Pynchon We feel and know that we are eternal. Baruch Spinoza Airplanes are inter

for the show, so they got me and my little sister, Summer, to do it. After that I did some really weird guest spots with orangutans and stuff. Joaquin Phoenix The voice will guide you-will tell you what to do. In order to do that, you must be quite sensitive with the instrument and accept this daily conversation with your voice. Cecilia Bartoli My wife is always trying to get rid of me. The other day she told me to put the garbage out. I said to her I already did. She told me to go and keep an eye on it. Rodney Dangerfield In the garment trades, on the other hand, the presence of a body of the disfranchised, of the weak and young, undoubtedly contributes to the economic weakness of these trades. Florence Kelley The most powerful person is he who is able to do least himself and burden others most with the things for which he lends his name and pockets the credit. Theodor Adorno America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy. John Updike You know, it was just another pr

that we have seen in different parts of the world. Let us hope that a dialogue between the followers of the three great monotheistic religions could help in putting an end to this. Hussein of Jordan People wonder why first-time directors can make a brilliant picture, then suck on the second one. It's because they're a little terrified the first time. So they listen to all the experts around them. James Caan It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately. John Ruskin Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations, that we have forgotten, as a people, the cost of a free and undivided Republic. John A. Logan Music is supposed to be an escape. It's supposed to be somewhere you go, where you can be yourself, or be whatever you want to be. Joel Madden The person that said w

longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups. Henry Hazlitt I had a dozen years to act before starting a family, then found that motherhood dwarfed everything else. Once or twice a year, I take a project that appeals to me for its redeeming social value. Sissy Spacek Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims. Ayn Rand I tell you what, I was so shocked because I didn't think the ball had enough to get out. It's an absolutely incredible feeling. I can honestly say I did it. Mark McGwire A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down. Robert Benchley The great musicians are those who can reach people, who can make people feel something. Sam Rivers Why in the world would you have it

woman I love - who I will tell you I can love with all my heart - and promise she will be the only one I will ever have until the day I die. That's a lie. Gene Simmons I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win. Matthew McConaughey The details are details. They make the product. The connections, the connections, the connections. It will in the end be these details that give the product its life. Charles Eames Well, I don't know if I can comment on Kant or Hegel because I'm no real philosopher in the sense of knowing what these people have said in any detail so let me not comment on that too much. Roger Penrose He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life. Vic

face when you're finished and packing, it's the best smile in the world; and there's nobody hurt, and the well's under control. Red Adair Life is so fresh, life is every day so new if we are fighting, only for the best. Sometimes I think the only real satisfaction in life is failure, failure in your endeavor to do your best. Maude Adams Let us speak, though we show all our faults and weaknesses, - for it is a sign of strength to be weak, to know it, and out with it - not in a set way and ostentatiously, though, but incidentally and without premeditation. Herman Melville I hate the industry even more now, no bands get nurtured anymore. Labels only spend money promoting acts they know will be Top Ten. I find it offensive spending $2 million on a video. Siouxsie Sioux Learning disabilities cannot be cured, but they can be treated successfully and children with LD can go on to live happy, successful lives. Anne Ford Prepare for death, if here at night you roa
