that I was able to transform men into animals. I did not make use of this capability, because I believed I could not justify an intervention of this kind in the life of another person. Wolfgang Hildesheimer My father was in the coal business in West Virginia. Both dad and mother were, however, originally from Massachusetts; New England, to them, meant the place to go if you really wanted an education. John Knowles I didn't actually realise what apartheid meant. I'm probably a bit naive, but I thought it was more of a vague segregation, like on the beaches and buses. John Deacon Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart. Sarah Ban Breathnach Thinking about what songs are coming next instead of just relaxing, breathing and playing from my heart. Sometimes it can get to be almost like the enemy. Rick Allen

who is protected from every germ. The infection, when it comes- and it will come- may overwhelm the system, be it the immune system or the belief system. Jane Smiley I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing. Agatha Christie We haven't been happy with the way the war has been handled. The president has changed his reasons for being over there every time a reason is proven false or an objective reached. Cindy Sheehan What I mean by that is that the point of life, as I see it, is not to write books or scale mountains or sail oceans, but to achieve happiness, and preferably an unselfish happiness. Bernard Cornwell It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws. Vladimir Lenin People know me. I'm not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I'm not

hours, was beaten by cops and made to stand spread eagled against the cell wall for 12 hours with no food or water, until I collapsed. Everyone was strip searched on the way in. John Blair What scared me in that debate is that it's not about the ownership rules at all. The vast majority of people don't even know what the rules say, to be perfectly candid. Name all six of them. Michael K. Powell Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded, and so therefore, it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it. Bryant H. McGill My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing. Michelle Shocked Courage is poorly housed that dwells in numbers; the lion never counts the herd that are about him, nor weighs how many flocks he has to scatter. Aaron Hill If y

dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own. H. G. Wells A judgment about life has no meaning except the truth of the one who speaks last, and the mind is at ease only at the moment when everyone is shouting at once and no one can hear a thing. Georges Bataille I will have a song that I'm in love with for a couple of months and then I'll go to something else. That's just constantly changing. And sometimes I will go back to old one that I haven't heard for a long time. Ray Brown Whatever kind of movie it is, you're going to be more into it when you care more about the drama, or you'll have a better laugh if you feel like you know the people better. Luke Wilson We've begun to long for the pitter-patter of little feet - so we bought a dog. Well, it's cheaper, and you get more feet. Rita Rudner When I think

parts of the story you can't get. TV gets you access to everyone because people call you back. It also allows you to satisfy your curiosity. I am a very curious person. Tucker Carlson By the time I entered college, I had decided not to have children, a decision that was never regretted. Accordingly, I was careful to court only girls who wanted to have professional careers. Donald Cram The way it works: The orchestra plays a few selections of its own and I terminate the first part of the programme on piano, usually with a movement from a Mozart concerto. George Shearing But the fact is, no matter how good the teacher, how small the class, how focused on quality education the school may be none of this matters if we ignore the individual needs of our students. Roy Barnes I knew I couldn't live in America and I wasn't ready to move to Europe so I moved to an island off the coast of America - New York City . Spalding Gray Coaches have to watch for what they don&#

not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values. Ayn Rand Until fighting ends and there are conditions, which allow the free expression of will by the people, there can be no elections and elections are not held in these circumstances anywhere in the world. Aslan Maskhadov I was fourteen when Kissinger made his secret trip to China, and then there was subsequently Nixon's trip to China, and I was very much seized with an interest in China. John Pomfret A true history of human events would show that a far larger proportion of our acts are the result of sudden impulse and accident than of that reason of which we so much boast. Peter Cooper We are looking to brands for poetry and for spirituality, because we're not getting those things from our communities or from each other. Naomi Klein If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a h

be needed. And that simply by blinking my eyes, I shall make pictures. Then, I think, I shall really have become a photographer. Alfred Eisenstaedt But in a tournament, you can be said in for all your money at any point so you can't make any mistakes so you have to, it's all about where you're sitting at the table. Al Alvarez It's just so fragile. The growing sense of 'Oh, God, what am I doing? Am I any good? Will I ever work again?' All those questions of self doubt, they do creep in. Jacqueline McKenzie They said hey look, The Beatles deserve to be number one, not Bobby Vinton. We're gonna cut your tires. Change that listing. They were dedicated at the time. Bobby Vinton I think before 1997 is over, NATO will have taken giant strides in what's called adaptation, the discussions about bringing the French fully into the NATO forces. Warren Christopher There's a monster outside my room, can I have a glass of water? M. Night Shyamalan

He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process. Sai Baba As I said, I had no publisher for What a Carve Up! while I was writing it, so all we had to live off was my wife's money and little bits I was picking up for journalism. Jonathan Coe Due to the political nature of film, partisan film making, especially where the subject is close to the film makers hart, tend to be the norm, rather than the exception. Ben Edwards People are first and foremost Republicans, first and foremost Anarchists, first and foremost a man or woman, and that is a mistake. It hurts the individual and it hurts the whole. Peter Krause Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like. Will Rogers Men tire themselves in pursuit of rest. Laurence Sterne Deep-versed in books and shallow in himself. John Milton I appreciate ve

through his educational shell, and he may then be a splendid surprise to himself no less than to this teachers. Harvey Cushing Nixon is one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides. Harry S Truman Upon the clothes behind the tenement, That hang like ghosts suspended from the lines, Linking each flat, but to each indifferent, Incongruous and strange the moonlight shines. Claude McKay From this time on, the universe is built up into an aggregate of permanent objects connected by causal relations that are independent of the subject and are placed in objective space and time. Jean Piaget Democrats couldn't care less if people in Indiana hate them. But if Europeans curl their lips, liberals can't look at themselves in the mirror. Ann Coulter It's good to follow the path of personal happiness to some extent. People tend to get upset however when you drive a s

- and have my parents to thank for it. Realistically, it doesn't hurt to be good-looking, especially in this business. Richard Chamberlain I don't believe America will justifiably make an unprovoked attack on another nation. It would not be consistent with what we have been as a nation or what we should be as a nation. Dick Armey As a society we're always so quick and able to spend money on lawyers for someone for incarceration, but we don't make the corresponding commitment to the preventative components of it. Matt Gonzalez For people on social assistance, the loss of free dental care, prescription drugs and subsidized housing can greatly outweigh additional income from working. We've all heard the stories. Kim Campbell The way I work, typically, I do everything at the very last minute. Even if I was given two months, I'd do it in the last three days. Ayumi Hamasaki Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law. Hubert H. Humphre

their doctrine; which, I am sorry to say, is too seldom the case amongst those nations who pretend most to civilization. J. G. Stedman A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have. Dwight L. Moody Allowing Texas to display the Ten Commandments on State property but disallowing Kentucky courthouses from doing the same is a poor and flawed interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. Ginny Brown-Waite I think the main thing I remembered throughout all of filming it was just that she just was extremely self-destructive. I think everybody can relate to that a little bit. She doesn't like herself. Shannyn Sossamon Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. Waverley Lewis Root I think everybody has the ability to fall in love with a man or with a woman or a white person or a bla

you're in your death bed and that's it, I think it's the relationships you've had and the people that you've touched and the people that have touched you that matter. Julie Benz But it's just that the whole country is making generally lousy films these days and has been for quite a while. That's the big problem that we all have to think about. Alexander Payne From the viewpoint of what you can do, therefore, languages do differ - but the differences are limited. For example, Python and Ruby provide almost the same power to the programmer. Yukihiro Matsumoto Four years of football are calculated to breed in the average man more of the ingredients of success in life than almost any academic course he takes. Knute Rockne Once there were two brothers: one ran away to sea, the other was elected Vice-President-and nothing was ever heard from either of them again. Thomas R. Marshall Even though you can't expect to defeat the absurdity of the worl

Three thousand people get killed, and everybody thinks they're next on the list. The president comes along, and he's got his six-guns strapped on, and people think he's going to save them. Ed Asner All alone in a committee room of the Senate Office Building in Washington, I was reading the dry typewritten pages in an unpublished report of an almost forgotten congressional committee hearing. Robert W. Welch, Jr. If you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world. Deepak Chopra But the need for conflict to expose prejudice and unclear reasoning, which is deeply embedded in my philosophy of science, has its origin in these debates. Robert B. Laughlin The unity in any painter's work arises from the fact that a person, brought to a desperate situation, will behave in a certain way... style. Frank Auerbach The United States of America will never be intimidat

and all the places in between to go to a foreign land and risk their lives and have some die? To make sure that Saddam Hussein could do no more damage to the region or us than he has already done. Lindsey Graham I would not like to see a person who is sober, moderate, chaste and just say that there is no God. They would speak disinterestedly at least, but such a person is not to be found. Jean de la Bruyere Around 1967 I began backing away from dogmatic Leninism, not so much because I thought it was false, I just decided there was nothing utopian about it. Henry Flynt The arts equally have distinct departments, and unless photography has its own possibilities of expression, separate from those of the other arts, it is merely a process, not an art. Alfred Stieglitz I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts. Abraham Lincoln The mother's heart is the chil

newspapers, double page ad, and said, announcing the chip that they were now able to manufacture it and that they were going to kill Intel. Arthur Rock Looking at the high cost of occupation in Iraq and the needs we have in this country, would it not have been better to have smaller tax cuts in order to keep down the deficits. Tim Russert In no direction that we turn do we find ease or comfort. If we are honest and if we have the will to win we find only danger, hard work and iron resolution. Wendell Willkie But it seemed to me that the American way of doing things was to obliterate a complete area, without really knowing exactly what was there and where they were. Peter Scott An ostentatious man will rather relate a blunder or an absurdity he has committed, than be debarred from talking of his own dear person. Joseph Addison When I finish an album and I find myself listening to it in the car, because it makes me feel a certain way, that's the time to try to let othe

good and evil, right and wrong, inside and outside. Polarities serve us in our learning and growth, but as souls we are all. Joy Page This, it may be said, is no more than a hypothesis... only of that force of precedent which in all times has been so strong to keep alive religious forms of which the original meaning is lost. William Robertson Smith I think what's always been interesting to me than the science and the criminality with this job is what happens to your persona, your disposition, after day in and day out dealing with life and death. George Eads I think the composer and production staff of an opera have a real responsibility to use visual elements of all kinds to make clear to the American audience, at any rate, exactly what is going on. John Eaton Thinking good thoughts is not enough, doing good deeds is not enough, seeing others follow your good examples is enough. Douglas Horton We can't just have mainstream behavior on television in a free society

got to arrive at is a kind of typical gestural crap, right? You might agree, though you wouldn't call it gestural crap. Morton Feldman A key to the mentality of the left is that it judges itself by its best intentions, and judges its opponents - America chief among them - by their worst deeds. David Horowitz You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity. Roman Polanski Here is everything which can lay hold of the eye, ear and imagination - everything which can charm and bewitch the simple and ignorant. I wonder how Luther ever broke the spell. John Adams The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book? David Attenborough Do not be in a hurry to succeed. What would you have to live for afterwards? Better make the horizon your goal; it will always be ahead of you.

Role those are the three things I look for and really any two of them, If I get two of them that's usually enough, but definitely those are the things I look for. Matt Damon Can they do both? That's a huge balance, I think, with kids- trying to find the right- it's everything, you know, it's social life, it's academics, it's sports. Joan Cusack I look forward to their convention and look forward to hearing the President talk about what he will do for the next four years. He hasn't done it up to this point. Harold Ford, Jr. All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet. Stevie Smith The problem of evil... Why does God permit it? Or, if God is omnipotent, in which case permission and creation are the same, why did God create it? William Temple No man is so perfect, so necessary to his friends, as to give them no cause to miss him less

crammed drawer. If you are searching for anything in particular you don't find it, but something falls out at the back that is often more interesting. James M. Barrie Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself. Henry Miller The first time I heard of suicidegirls was when a model from there contacted me to see if I wanted to do a shoot. I can't remember what happened with that but we didn't end up doing it. Richard Kern Beauty, like ice, our footing does betray; Who can tread sure on the smooth, slippery way: Pleased with the surface, we glide swiftly on, And see the dangers that we cannot shun. John Dryden I think the art world... is a very small pond, and it's a very inbred pond. They rely on information from an elect elite sect of galleries, primarily in New York. Thomas Kinkade Spike Lee is obviously mo

is that we respect international resolutions but in return demand justice and accountability for those who stole Iraq's money. Ahmed Chalabi I was sent to a finishing school, which didn't last long when mother found out how badly chaperoned we were. Then I 'came out' before going to a domestic science school. Mary Wesley I started at a very early age in this business and I'm sure most of you have read stories about people who have started as children and ended up in very difficult lives and bad consequences. Dean Stockwell I don't need a man. But I'm happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don't fold up and die if I don't have a man around. Cher Then it was that the exports of slaves from Virginia and the Carolinas was so great that the population of those States remained almost, if not quite stationary. Henry Charles Carey I worked for some very good people who have helped me along the way and

Sean Connery's voice, and things like that. We were all kind of doing it towards the end of the film, anyway, and he was cool with it. Shane West I don't make much distinction between being a stand-up comic and acting Shakespeare - in fact, unless you're a good comedian, you're never going to be able to play Hamlet properly. Ian Mckellen We need to go everywhere. There is not one county in this state, I don't care how far west you go, that doesn't have Democrats. We have to be proud of who we are. Howard Dean I proceed with the proper subject of this discourse; namely, the further changes in scientific belief, which have occurred within my own recollection, even since the time when I first aspired to authorship, now forty- five years ago. Asa Gray The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. Henri Poincare Everybody knows that the industrialized na

actors. But you must maintain control on a level and see how far you can go up, down or out emotionally. You have to balance the craft with spontaneity. Lusia Strus That image of the countryside being a threatening place still exists. People continue to resist the challenge of learning about aspects of life they don't understand. Mary Wesley I'm a comedian first. I've learned how to act. I just draw on life experiences and that's how I've learned. I didn't take classes or anything. I don't need no classroom. Steve Harvey I try and take lots of vitamins and I don't drink. I do smoke, though, I'd be insufferable if I didn't smoke, you'd have to push me off a balcony I'd be so boring. Kate Beckinsale I do like things that are not necessarily a reflection of what is considered the right thing by this culture. Somehow, promoting that status quo I find uninteresting. Crispin Glover An idea or institution may arise for one reason

enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance. Isaac Asimov They said they wanted a lot of feathers, glitter, colourful colours. A costume. So I had a lady here in Calgary make it. She just kind of put together what I had in mind. Owen Hart Men of sense often learn from their enemies. It is from their foes, not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls and ships of war. Aristophanes I don't think I can tell any stories about how I lived in a van in Alaska. I grew up in the suburbs, I even had my own room. We weren't poor. Everything was very normal. Lisa Loeb May I make a suggestion, hoping it is not an impertinence? Write it down: write down what you feel. It is sometimes a wonderful help in misery. Robertson Davies I'd rather go back to waitressing than play a character that I hate. Julianna Margulies Nothing shows a man's char

to use the emergency room every time a child gets sick. And no one should have to live in constant fear that a medical problem will become a financial crisis. Brad Henry The hardest situation to stay happy in, I think, is when you're trying to find love, and yourself at the same time. It just doesn't seem to fit well. Sophia Bush If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby 'it.' T. S. Eliot If we are genuinely committed to promoting a culture of peace, as individuals we must look to our values and ensure that we all exhibit a peace loving life to our nation's children. Silvia Cartwright My work is being destroyed almost as soon as it is printed. One day it is being read; the next day someone's wrapping fish in it. Al Capp Laziness never arrived at the attainment of a good wish. Miguel de Cervantes Sleeping is forbidden at the a

you start reading things and they're good reviews - you believe that and you're lost, and then you read bad reviews and you think that's true and you read that and you're lost. Jenny Agutter I moved further and further away from mass entertainment. The sexual element became increasingly sinister and bizarre. Don't blame me! The bastards drove me to it! They all backed off after that! Robert Crumb Every year we celebrate the holy season of Advent, O God. Every year we pray those beautiful prayers of longing and waiting, and sing those lovely songs of hope and promise. Karl Rahner I suppose you could sum up the religious aspects of my boyhood by saying it was a time of life when I was taught the difference between right and wrong as it specifically applied to Catholicism. Robert Vaughn Of course God is endlessly multi-dimensional so every religion that exists on earth represents some face, some side of God. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn People are like, 'W

thoughts; the photographer's picture is always surrounded by a kind of romantic glamor - no matter what you do, and how you twist it. Robert Frank To make sense to us as physical creatures, any 'truth' must undergo transformations, be couched in certain terms or we couldn't understand it. Jane Roberts So I'm not a Southern writer in the commonly held sense of the term, like Faulkner or Eudora Welty, who took the South for their entire literary environment and subject matter. Donna Tartt I don't want to write every week, it's too much trouble, and I shall only write when I want something. If you think I'm sick when I don't write, you can send for me to come and tell you. Robert Gould Shaw The world is changing and the physical barriers are down now. It's time for the emotional barriers to go down. And what better place to start than school? Laura San Giacomo People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beaut

under real terms, investigated, you will be seeing certain people that we know from this country standing trial; and they will be prosecuted criminally. Sibel Edmonds Secular humanists suspect there is something more gloriously human about resisting the religious impulse; about accepting the cold truth, even if that truth is only that the universe is as indifferent to us as we are to it. Tom Flynn What is important is that one utilizes one's intellect and not to be 100 percent sure about one's convictions. One should always leave room for doubt. Shirin Ebadi People in the U.S. will watch anything if it's put in front of their face over and over again. I like to see what's possible, more than anything. Bode Miller Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years. Mao Zedong What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? James Madison

and who now has carpal tunnel. It has totally changed in that these films would not be getting out to people the way they're getting out without the Internet. Robert Greenwald If a violent act towards a woman takes place, and the inspiration for that act is violence in cinema, the inspiration for that act would have come from somewhere else if movies didn't exist. Richard King I like Jailhouse Rock and Love Me Tender. The black-and-white films. With music, I tend more toward the '70s stuff because I was at the shows for those, so they bring back memories. Lisa Marie Presley The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests; and when not efficiently checked, it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised. John C. Calhoun Man is always marveling at what he has blown apart, never at what the universe has put together, and this is his limitation. Loren Eiseley Some people

back a couple of years ago and did their 20th anniversary show. But the longer I stayed on Hee Haw, the worse things got for me musically. Buck Owens This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room. Virginia Woolf There are about a dozen of these gardens, more or less extensive, according to the business or wealth of the proprietor; but they are generally smaller than the smallest of our London nurseries. Robert Fortune It is up to African leaders to show their will and political courage in order to assure that this new pan-African institution becomes an efficient instrument and not a place for endless discussions. Omar Bongo The issue of remittances where we have millions of Mexicans working in the United States sending back dollars. He said they send back 10 billion dollars a year. Tom Tancredo In those days industry would hire any chemist that could br

get me in trouble. I wear suits that are cheap. But I say what I think and I believe what I say, and I'm willing to say things that are not popular but ordinary people know are right. Howard Dean Racism is always there underneath, but usually it is exploited in these times of economic crisis, and it's hard to find out when one slides into another. Iris Chang I went to college in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Mellon University... studied acting there. Then I went to New York for about five years. I moved out here about 10 years ago. Laura San Giacomo I had to work out where I was going, what type of films I wanted to make. For that reason, I decided to choose independent productions, less important roles, and I tried theater, too. Elizabeth Berkley For how many people do you think might yet stand on this planet before the sun grows cold? That's the responsibility we hold in our hands. David R. Brower Live every day as if it is your last, and you'll be correct soo

not all that different from anything else coming out of Nashville. Mutt made the difference. He took these songs, my attitude, my creativity, and colored them in a way that is unique. Shania Twain But for me, being an editor I've been an editor of all kinds of books being an editor of poetry has been the way in which I could give a crucial part of my time to what I love most. Peter Davison It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted. This is the essence of academicism. Mark Rothko I have a right to my anger, and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be, that it's not nice to be, and that something's wrong with me because I get angry. Maxine Waters Why did men worship in churches, locking themselves away in the dark, when the world lay beyond its doors in all its real glory? Charles de Lint Successful people breed success. Phil Crosby Man's greatness consists in his ab

with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people. Giordano Bruno Yet, much of what lies beneath the ocean's surface remains a mystery, and our nation continues to rely on a confused, antiquated system of ocean governance. Tom Allen This business switching styles can't be done honestly by one man. As soon as he can play his instrument well, he can express himself, and all his life he has only one self. Jimmy Rushing The word 'aerobics' came about when the gym instructors got together and said: If we're going to charge $10 an hour, we can't call it Jumping up and down. Rita Rudner We don't have time to wait for President Bush to change his mind. How many breakthroughs have been missed as a result of this policy? Robert Lanza The greatest right in the world is the right to be wrong. William Randolph The career of a sage is of two kinds

UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do. Henry Waxman She could only write with him at night and she was wasting her days just sitting around. So he thought I could write with her during the day. And that was Carole King. Cynthia Weil Obviously, there has to be a profound change in direction. Otherwise, interest on the national debt will start eating up virtually every penny that we have. Bobby Scott What I want to bring back to superheroes with this project is a sense of play. Things have gotten so dreary. The heroes have gotten so ugly that even their muscles have muscles. Frank Miller We can't win at home. We can't win on the road. As general manager, I just can't figure out where else to play. Pat Williams But when someone is on a winning horse, and everything looks wonderful, it's very hard as an outsider to persuade them something is wrong. J

more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it. Lyndon B. Johnson As far as the sovereignty of Bosnia-Hercegovina is concerned we agreed to have limited sovereignty for a limited time and that is clear from the Dayton Agreement. Alija Izetbegovic But if I've heard this saying once, I've heard it a thousand times- everything happens for a reason. And possibly it does. I just haven't found the reason that this all happened yet. Jerry Lawler Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue. Benjamin Haydon Without going to what I think is my limit. I always say that my ideal is to get pole with the minimum effort, and to win the race at the slowest speed possible. Alain Prost Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it

But there's also an incredible passion connected to it; it's not just a dry investigative process. I have been extremely emotional about it, and that comes out in the songs. Cat Stevens The thought came to me that all one loves in art becomes beautiful. Beauty is nothing but the expression of the fact that something is being loved. Only thus could she be defined. Robert Musil The lax multiculturalism that urges Americans to accept the unacceptable from their fellow citizens is one of this nation's greatest vulnerabilities in the war on terror. Richard Perle The Little Friend is a long book. It's also completely different from my first novel: different landscape, different characters, different use of language and diction, different approach to story. Donna Tartt Rock and menopause do not mix. It is not good, it sucks and every day I fight it to the death, or, at the very least, not let it take me over. Stevie Nicks You had many jazz musicians who lived in

gauntlet with their kids. The novelty had kind of worn off by the time the twelfth child was born. I was lucky to get fed and changed, picked up and taken to school. Owen Hart As for Tenacious D, of course it could work as a full length movie; all it requires is a great writer and great director with an ability to think outside of conventional film comedy. David Cross I sort of kept my hand in writing and went to work for the Sierra Club in '52, walked the plank there in '69, founded Friends of the Earth and the League of Conservation Voters after that. David R. Brower The Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act expires at the end of this year. Thus, we must act quickly to ensure our constituents continue to receive the services they enjoy. Eliot Engel Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others by using them. Thomas Kinkade One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a s

or that question if he is elected except the candidate; he's too busy wondering what he'll do if he isn't elected. Everett Dirksen I would say that if you don't feel like talking to the crowd something is wrong and if you force yourself to talk to them things will happen and to that extent things aren't choreographed. Leo Kottke The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order the continuous thread of revelation. Eudora Welty When this sad war is over we will all return to our homes, and feel that we can ask no higher honor than the proud consciousness that we belonged to the Army of the Potomac. George B. McClellan The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it. Daniel Webster I say if you're going to take a chance on something, you just go full balls to the wall. Toby Keith Tonight - to you, t

apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. Benito Mussolini In better times the religion of the tribe or state has nothing in common with the private and foreign superstitions or magical rites that savage terror may dictate to the individual. William Robertson Smith I think that most actors, and they're a very strange lot actors, very strange people, but I think that they attempt to keep in touch with the child. Ben Kingsley If a woman tells you she's twenty and looks sixteen, she's twelve. If she tells you she's twenty-six and looks twenty-six, she's damn near fourty. Chris Rock What's sort of interesting about the whole public relations disaster that is the Net, in some ways, is that the fundamentals are really good. Meg Whitman A skilled Transition Team leader will set the general goals for a Transition, and then confer on the other team leaders working with him the

or a Latin song as well as a Latin band. We could never expect to do that. We just keep doing what we do, what we know how to do. We sound like ourselves. Mike Gordon It's good to have a manager who shares your interests, or goals. You can presumably trust a husband. I don't know if it's the best way to work. I really shouldn't discuss this. Dorothy Stratten How much greater would their contributions to the U.S. economy be if U.S. copyright owners could access foreign markets otherwise dominated by pirate product? Howard Berman We have so much left to experience and learn about each other - it's almost like we've been remarried with the show being over. Now it's a whole new life for us. Nick Lachey When the doors of opportunity swing open, we must make sure that we are not too drunk or too indifferent to walk through. Jesse Jackson Act well your part, there all the honour lies. Alexander Pope So much of what we call management consists in m

by ear. I still think that you have to have an ear for music to really be able to feel and understand what you're playing. You can learn by watching and listening to other people. Mick Taylor Quality afterschool programs provide safe, engaging and fun learning experiences to help children and youth develop their social, emotional, physical, cultural and academic skills. Debbie Stabenow Excellent education and an excellent environment are two hallmarks of our state. How we treat our environment is connected to so many other opportunities in Maine. John Baldacci I will continue my consistent record of voting for lower taxes, less spending and fewer regulations to make our government more effective and efficient while upholding our Constitution. Roscoe Bartlett You play a part, and as soon as a movie is over and the camera stops, you go home and you're not really responsible for what you've done. Nastassja Kinski When recordings replaced concerts as the dominant

times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan The prospect of success in achieving our most cherished dream is not without its terrors. Who is more deprived and alone than the man who has achieved his dream? Brendan Behan I do like any kind of project that has both comedy and drama in it because in life you don't have one day where everything is funny then the next day everything is dramatic. Topher Grace If we were logical, the future would be bleak, indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work. Jacques Yves Cousteau As president of Iraq, I shall strive to represent the diversity of a country that has too often in the past denied difference. Jalal Talabani I'm in awe of people out there who deal with Alzheimer's, because they have to deal with death 10 times over, year a

a tax on the value of their property at the time of their death, despite having paid taxes throughout their lifetime. Doc Hastings What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away. Henry Ward Beecher I know that government doesn't have the all solutions that real solutions do not come from the top down. Instead, the ways to end poverty come from all of us. We are part of the solution. Kathleen Blanco The past itself, as historical change continues to accelerate, has become the most surreal of subjects - making it possible... to see a new beauty in what is vanishing. Susan Sontag The speculative part of my work is that these particular cognitive tasks - ways of thinking analytically - are tied to nature's laws. Edward Tufte I have a very low level of recognition, which is fine by me. Dylan Moran Since the end of the Cold War, hegemonism h

replaced by Matt Cameron. The next years of my life were about recovery, healing, and right living. I never lost the need to create. Jack Irons One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product. Peter Gabriel Everyone will experience the consequences of his own acts. If his act are right, he'll get good consequences; if they're not, he'll suffer for it. Harry Browne I will know how to hold you just by the look in your eye, I will never forget - not even on the day that I die. This is a promise of my passion for you, smile at me and make it true. Diana Lynn There was a danger that skeptics and opponents would misread those likelihood ratio tests as rejections of an entire class of models, which of course they were not. Thomas J. Sargent When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marry

was what I wanted to do. Well, I can't say I wanted to do it, but I fantasized and thought about it all the time. I never thought it would actually happen. Lisa Marie Presley I was involved in the color correction and the digital color correction. In an odd way, you end up making a film many times-the DVD, the archival record of a high-definition master, and so on. John Dykstra I played, like, a year of piano until I learned the 'Pink Panther' theme. That was my goal. Once I was good enough, I quit. Now my music has to have some rock. Jack Black It's a combination of targeting higher paying jobs in these growth areas and fostering closer cooperation with higher education; a rising tide that lifts all boats. John Hoeven And, so I set my goals on astronaut because, as a military aviator, it was, I considered that to be about the peak of a flying career. Duane G. Carey As a result of that, America desires a moderate Islam; an Islam that America can control;

Social Security contributions into personal accounts, an alteration of the current system is needed to make necessary change. James A. Leach India is a curious place that still preserves the past, religions, and its history. No matter how modern India becomes, it is still very much an old country. Anita Desai I started rooting - you know, sticking up joints - with some older guys. By now I had gotten a taste of what the racket world really was - the glamour, the way they dressed, the way they always had a pocketful of money. Mickey Cohen Even among the married, sexual satisfaction must not be sought in a way which disregards man's character as a person and degrades him to the animal level. Francis Arinze Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. George Orwell The tango is really a combination of many cultures, though it eventually became the national music of Argentina. Y

to it that working people fight for everything they have, everything they hope to get, for dignity, equality, democracy, to oppose war and to bring to the world a better life. Harry Bridges I have always been an admirer. I regard the gift of admiration as indispensable if one is to amount to something; I don't know where I would be without it. Francois de La Rochefoucauld You can't TV surf without coming across an Andy of Mayberry episode where you've just got to watch Don as Barney. That's why I put Don in several of my movies. Tim Conway Too many radiologists still believe there is a risk from a chest x-ray. Few radiologists can explain radiation to the patient in words the patient can understand. John Cameron And thus goes segregation which is the most far-reaching development in the history of the Negro since the enslavement of the race. Carter G. Woodson Riches are not forbidden, but the pride of them is. John Chrysostom Pontius Pilate was the fir

I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college. Dana Hill Although the dream is a very strange phenomenon and an inexplicable mystery, far more inexplicable is the mystery and aspect our minds confer on certain objects and aspects of life. Giorgio de Chirico I think Democrats are right. We fight for the American dream, for the environment, for privacy rights, a woman's right to choose, a good public education system. Barbara Boxer He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young. Joseph Addison The history of all the great characters of the Bible is summed up in this one sentence: They acquainted themselves with God, and acquiesced His will in all things. Richard Cecil The composition of a single melody is born out of a bit of text,

a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately. Edward Weston I think that people should learn about that. In most music, there's one way that you do something, and that's the only way. In jazz, it's a lot different. Billy Higgins America's greatness has been the greatness of a free people who shared certain moral commitments. Freedom without moral commitment is aimless and promptly self-destructive. John W. Gardner But I'm trying not to be cynical - I don't want to be one of those people who has a cool opportunity and blows it. It's really amazing what's happening to me. Shannyn Sossamon We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched. Tacitus A virtue to be serviceable must, like gold, be alloyed with some commoner, bu

just so many holes in a line and you have eleven men playing, and there's only so many ways you can go through those holes, and those ways have been used for forty, fifty years. Red Grange We cannot observe external things without some degree of Thought; nor can we reflect upon our Thoughts, without being influenced in the course of our reflection by the Things which we have observed. William Whewell Hollywood does not write parts for people like me, an elderly gentleman, and when they find out you're crippled, forget about it. No, I'll never work again. Ricardo Montalban There are significant human rights abuses in China. In some areas, the situation is worse today than in the past. In other areas, there have been improvements. We will recognize the latter, and be critical of the former. Max Baucus I've never been drawn to the feminist movement. I was brought up to believe that men had little to do with the home or children - except to bring in the money.

baseman coach. I had opportunities that I never really pursued - with some Miami teams and a few larger colleges, and then I ended up bailing and began cooking. Todd English In those parts of the world where learning and science has prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in those parts of it as are barbarous and ignorant, miracles are still in vogue. Ethan Allen I'm not a traditional politician, and I have a sense of humor. I'll try to soften it and become boring, maybe even very boring, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. Silvio Berlusconi Fame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You can't just say, 'hi'. You say hi and people whisper' man did you see the way she said hi? What an attitude. Juliette Lewis I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced. Robert Lanza I can't wait to work for Rick Kaplan. H

because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter. Charles Baudelaire What some of us believe is that it is possible that if chemicals are related to Gulf War illness that some of the more severe symptoms may not erupt until 10 or 20 years down the line. Bernie Sanders The valor and courage of our young women and men in the armed services are a shining example to all of the world, and we owe them and their families our deepest respect. Bill Frist Sony could have $50 million and a sound stage and A-list actors and never make the same film. The constraints on this film became the essence of this film, became the power of this film. Joshua Leonard I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand, namely, exactly nothing. John Searle The actual atoms and molecules t

that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it. Chuck Schumer Therefore, you are not training young people for the world of today and the world of tomorrow unless you are doing proven technology training. That is one of the reasons I'm so concerned. Major Owens The generation which lived through the Second World War is disappearing. Post-war generations see Europe's great achievements - liberty, peace and prosperity - as a given. Jan Peter Balkenende Foreign policy will require a strategic agility that, whenever possible, gets ahead of problems, strengthens U.S. security and alliances, and promotes American interests and credibility. Chuck Hagel The home to everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose. Edward Coke Hollywood, it has treated me so nicely,

I think that was a big mistake. But the truth is you write in the moment and with your head down and there is no way back then that I could have conceived of Harry having the longevity that he has had. Michael Connelly Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, It's not warm when she's away, Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, And she's always gone too long, Anytime she goes away. Bill Withers The more one listens to ordinary conversations the more apparent it becomes that the reasoning faculties of the brain take little part in the direction of the vocal organs. Edgar Rice Burroughs I feel constricted if I become too much aware of the act of making. Liberty is lost and instead of an instinctual lyrical expression the whole thing becomes arid. William Scott Objects can be classified scientifically into three major categories: those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost. Russell Baker When all's said and done, all roads

love and hate arise, and the fears of losing the loved one become active, a very important step is made in development. Melanie Klein Mohammed was not an apparent failure. He was a dazzling success, politically as well as spiritually, and Islam went from strength to strength to strength. Karen Armstrong Hardly a name in profane history is more august than his. Hardly another character in the world's record has made so little of its opportunities. His discovery was a blunder; his blunder was a new world; the New World is his monument. Justin Winsor One of the problems that we are confronted with is, when we decide to buy or build a home, we don't get a clear picture of what closing costs will be of that home. Alphonso Jackson I was always drawn to Broadway musicals, and obviously composers like Gershwin, Rodgers, Berlin and Porter were writing music that I found wildly impressive. Marvin Hamlisch I am always fascinated by India. Gary Ackerman You can be the bes

think that should be the case in the life of every artist. Our life is occupied with playing, whether we play an instrument or a role. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau While we have made great progress in increasing funding for veterans' benefits, we still have a long way to go in fully meeting the promise to our veterans. Sue Kelly Oh, there's going to be debate because you're dealing with the Bible and religion is supposed to be separate from state and that to me is already a conflict before it even hits the gay issue. Pam Grier Like bones to the human body, the axle to the wheel, the wing to the bird, and the air to the wing, so is liberty the essence of life. Whatever is done without it is imperfect. Jose Marti Most people who succeed in the face of seemingly impossible conditions are people who simply don't know how to quit. Robert H. Schuller To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.

serious about that we need to organise ourselves in our workplaces and communities, making the links with other workers internationally. John Blair I'll never get used to living without Mo, but the painful things that surround what happened to him aren't so painful any more-not so raw or so new. Robin Gibb When I was growing up, it was 'Communists'. Now it's 'Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything. Cindy Sheehan We have to make sure that we are a force for peace and stability in the world, and that we're prepared to defend freedom and the security of the American people. Thad Cochran I think people are entitled to march without a permit. When you have a few hundred thousand people on the street you have permission. Tom Hayden Never rise to speak till you have something to say; and when you have said it, cease. John Witherspoon

Carolina who could be most adversely affected by the President's plan have not been invited to the discussion. Mel Watt A bibliophile of little means is likely to suffer often. Books don't slip from his hands but fly past him through the air, high as birds, high as prices. William Lyon Phelps To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be that have tried it. Herman Melville If it's something that reaches out and grabs me, I want to do it. I have a lot of trouble doing things that don't grab me. So, I'm not a very good actor in that way. I can't fake it. Clancy Brown When you kill 500,000 children in order to impose your will on other countries, then you shouldn't be surprised when somebody responds in kind. Ward Churchill But I think Barry Sonnenfeld let his ego go out of control. He told me in a meeting that he had to do something to make it his film

peacefully are now so comprehensive and far-reaching that it is almost impossible for a state to resort to war without violating one or more solemn treaty obligations. Arthur Henderson Here is the difference between Dante, Milton, and me. They wrote about hell and never saw the place. I wrote about Chicago after looking the town over for years and years. Carl Sandburg Prison continues, on those who are entrusted to it, a work begun elsewhere, which the whole of society pursues on each individual through innumerable mechanisms of discipline. Michel Foucault The attraction of the virtuoso for the public is very like that of the circus for the crowd. There is always the hope that something dangerous will happen. Claude Debussy Affliction is the wholesome soil of virtue, where patience, honor, sweet humility, and calm fortitude, take root and strongly flourish. David Mallet Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me. Sarah Bernhardt I hate uglin

abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words. Tim Burton Congress has a responsibility to make sure our taxpayer dollars are being spent responsibly and effectively, and at the same time, that our men and women in uniform have everything they need to carry out the War on Terror. Larry Craig Germany must be a country which generates political ideas and leadership, which is capable of compromise, which is sovereign and yet knows that it needs its partners on both sides of the Atlantic. Horst Koehler When I am working it is up early and coffee and 15 hours of being on the set. When I am not working, it is up late and coffee, golf or softball and hopefully a ball game on the television. Mackenzie Astin The difficulty about all this dying, is that you can't tell a fellow anything about it, so where does the fun come in? Alice James It

when I wake up in the morning. Just energy jitters. I take vitamins, I work out every day. When I'm having sex, I don't have that. Alyssa Milano Writers would submit scripts to me, and if I liked one well enough to submit to magazine editors, I had the know-how whether the story was good or bad. Julius Schwartz Put a bridle on thy tongue; set a guard before thy lips, lest the words of thine own mouth destroy thy peace... on much speaking cometh repentance, but in silence is safety. William Drummond I think that all of us either lose touch with the child inside us or try and hold onto it because it so precious to us and it's such an extraordinary part of our lives. Ben Kingsley Bondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If you say 'I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me' free you shall be. Ramakrishna Our own heart, and not other men's opinions form our true honor. Samuel Taylor Coleridge I've never considered myself a

far into this century. If America shows weakness and uncertainty, the world will drift toward tragedy. That will not happen on my watch. George W. Bush Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is more or less strong tendency ordered to an intrinsic moral evil, and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder. Pope Benedict XVI All desirable things... are desirable either for the pleasure inherent in themselves, or as a means to the promotion of pleasure and the prevention of pain. John Stuart Mill A desire to be observed, considered, esteemed, praised, beloved, and admired by his fellows is one of the earliest as well as the keenest dispositions discovered in the heart of man. John Adams Procrastination is the bad habit of putting off until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday. Napoleon Hill If a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all

interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does. John Berger Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console. Charles Caleb Colton I live by a man's code, designed to fit a man's world, yet at the same time I never forget that a woman's first job is to choose the right shade of lipstick. Carole Lombard It is absolutely imperative that we protect, preserve and pass on this genetic heritage for man and every other living thing in as good a condition as we received it. David R. Brower I don't have the insight with the Longhorns that I do with the two teams that I own, but as a fan and reading the sports pages, I'm bullish about the Longhorns. Tom Hicks The more liberty you give away the more you will have. Robert Green Ingersoll My bo

All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, 'gun control' legislation. Good news - if you're a crook. Larry Elder I drive a lot. Just for pleasure. Sometimes I'll get in the Cadillac and drive around the city or the country, kind of trying to get lost basically. Y'know, just see where roads lead. Frank Black You and I will meet again, When we're least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet again. Tom Petty We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. J. William Fulbright Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. Mary Shelley Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such fr

responsibility is not to prop up the government, our responsibility is to provide an opposition and an alternative government for Parliament and for Canadians. Stephen Harper We have a country that wants to believe it is the best in everything, but until all of us embrace the idea that health care should be a right, not a privilege, our system cannot be glibly described as, quote, 'the best in the world.' Tim Johnson Hollywood sold its stars on good looks and personality buildups. We weren't really actresses in a true sense, we were just big names - the products of a good publicity department. Ann Sothern Well you know, it's true that as a fat person I run a greater risk of heart disease, diabetes, and a number of other things. But guess what? The amount of that risk is almost infinitessimal! Daniel Pinkwater But even race-neutral policies and recruitment efforts designed to achieve greater diversity are, in the end, not race neutral. Adam Schiff Happines

we're lead to is a life not fully lived. Cynicism is fear, and it's worse than fear - it's active disengagement. Ken Burns We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment. James A. Baldwin Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, 'This is a misfortune' but 'To bear this worthily is good fortune.' Marcus Aurelius I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul. Mahatma Gandhi If you've got a good vibrato, you can get away with a lot. Sonny Terry Whiskey's to tough, Champagne costs too mu

to determine. Sometimes I'll get feedback from somebody who liked this part of the show. Others like another part of the show. Lance Burton I will always desire to play with Bruce Springsteen. He's the most inspirational, most dedicated, most committed and most focused artist I've ever seen. I like to be around people like that. Max Weinberg I don't know any women who don't think about what they look like, and I don't know any men who don't think about what women look like. Stanley Crouch A lot of my characters in all of my books have a self-destructive urge. They'll do precisely the thing that they know is wrong, take a perverse delight in doing the wrong thing. Richard Russo I want to keep fighting because it is the only thing that keeps me out of the hamburger joints. If I don't fight, I'll eat this planet. George Foreman An expert gives an objective view. He gives his own view. Morarji Desai The most common lie is that which

and also a precedent. Pose issues so as to evoke broader policy guidance. This can help to answer a range of similar issues likely to arise later. Donald Rumsfeld I have lost someone I loved as a brother, as a closest friend, and a remarkable human being. We have also lost one of the best damn actors we'll ever see. Jack Lemmon The book begins and ends with the visits to give the impression of a tunnel into their ancestors and family history. I believe in going backwards into the past - I felt I was digging a tunnel back to the past. Anita Desai In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end. Tom Seaver War consisteth not in battle only, or the act of fighting; but in a tract of time, wherein the will to contend by battle is sufficiently known. Thomas Hobbes Thought is an errand boy, fear a mine of worries. Yunus Emr

is using its resources to bring real privacy protection to Internet users by creating incentives for more websites to provide strong privacy protection. William M. Daley I've always thought that it's good to watch the news to find out what everybody else is looking at and believing, if only because that's how consensus is constructed. Barbara Kruger To a teacher of languages there comes a time when the world is but a place of many words and man appears a mere talking animal not much more wonderful than a parrot. Joseph Conrad When a book raises your spirit, and inspires you with noble and manly thoughts, seek for no other test of its excellence. It is good, and made by a good workman. Jean de la Bruyere I am committed to strengthening our agricultural economy by protecting the unique interests of small and medium size family farms so that they can continue to operate. Sue Kelly It is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself. Johann Wolfgang von G

citizens' rights, the actions for which officials are accountable, and the nation's history. Allen Weinstein If something in your writing gives support to people in their lives, that's more than just entertainment-which is what we writers all struggle to do, to touch people. Dean Koontz Natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Francis Bacon So sweet love seemed that April morn. When first we kissed beside the thorn, So strangely sweet, it was not strange We thought that love could never change. Robert Bridges I can't bear art that you can walk round and admire. A book should be either a bandit or a rebel or a man in the crowd. D. H. Lawrence I don't believe in low-fat cooking. Nigella Lawson He can fight terrorists overseas, but he leaves our borders so they can come in here and do their thing. Tom Tancredo Sh
