service, and can command the public, will it receive the public dollar and succeed. Curtis Carlson Straight-away the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God, and not only do I see distinct themes in my mind's eye, but they are clothed in the right forms, harmonies, and orchestration. Johannes Brahms I don't give advice. I can't tell anybody what to do. Instead I say this is what we know about this problem at this time. And here are the consequences of these actions. Joyce Brothers I find it both fascinating and disconcerting when I discover yet another person who believes that writing can't be taught. Frankly, I don't understand this point of view. Elizabeth George In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful. Alice Walker It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings. Mahatma Gandhi A peace is

the sky is only as big as the top of the well. If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view. Mao Zedong We live in a time where government is not a leadership thing, it's more a business that's out there and running riot, so I guess the people have to go out there and say stuff. Yahoo Serious I am very much aware that if I am getting good press at the moment I could just as easily be getting bad press. I cannot have the good and forget the bad. You have to accept it both ways. Damon Hill I'm probably the most introverted extrovert you'll ever meet. Up until I got this show I was constantly told, 'She was really good, but she's just not cute enough.' Nikki Cox Winning to often is as disastrous as losing too often. Both get the same results, the falling off of the public's enthusiasm. Knute Rockne Wedding: the point at which a man stops toasting a woman and begins roasting her. Helen Rowland Information is a negotiator's g

and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men. Lyndon B. Johnson You must be absolutely honest and true in the depicting of a totem for meaning is attached to every line. You must be most particular about detail and proportion. Emily Carr An almost hysterical antagonism toward the gold standard is one issue which unites statists of all persuasions. They seem to sense... that gold and economic freedom are inseparable. Alan Greenspan Well, an actor is an actor is actor, to paraphrase someone or other and the opportunity to work, to have a steady engagement, certainly seemed like an appealing concept to me. Walter Koenig Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves. Walter Anderson But, truly, I have wept too much! The Dawns are heartbreaking. Every moon is atrocious and every sun bitter. Arthur Rimbaud None but himself can be his parallel.

the life of man by the life of God through the life of the concretely living Christ. Kenneth L. Pike To overturn orthodoxy is no easier in science than in philosophy, religion, economics, or any of the other disciplines through which we try to comprehend the world and the society in which we live. Ruth Hubbard It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it. Anais Nin I feel like I'm a fighter. I've fought my whole life to get to where I'm at. I like fight movies. When someone gets knocked down, I like to root for him to succeed. Ricky Schroder As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever. Clarence Darrow And remember: without you, all we are is loud. No pressure. Vivian Campbell I've never had to turn my hand to anything for monetary g

purer, nobler, higher, and more moral... Agriculture should be at the basis of everything. That's my idea. Nikolai Gogol Global capital markets pose the same kinds of problems that jet planes do. They are faster, more comfortable, and they get you where you are going better. But the crashes are much more spectacular. Lawrence Summers No man in America ever strove more, and more successfully first to bring about a Congress in 1765, and then to support it ever afterwards than myself. Christopher Gadsden Postmodernism is an academic theory, originating in academia with an academic elite, not in the world of women and men, where feminist theory is rooted. Catharine MacKinnon I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win. Michael Jordan The United States government can indict you on something, and now you've got to prove your innocence. And that's not the Constitution of

nuclear complex or weapons work those kinds of things, right out of law school. Tom Udall I believe it is incumbent upon Congress to act aggressively to ameliorate fear and help our country take the essential steps that will make our communities and lives safer. Paul Gillmor Valentino was apparently gay or bisexual. And his two lesbian wives. But without any question, he had sex with men. From choice. So he was one or the other. Cesar Romero I do remember smiling quite a bit inside it though since I knew it wouldn't be seen on film - so of course while the poor planet is being blown up I'm smiling and laughing like mad! David Prowse Globalization presumes sustained economic growth. Otherwise, the process loses its economic benefits and political support. Paul Samuelson Like the American soldiers who went before them, they are putting their lives on the line to protect ours. Doc Hastings Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value. Jim Rohn How can we

right free to transcribe, and away we go. We get, oh, 500 to 600 words an hour. Better than gasoline. James Merrill It's a 360-degree sound experience. Like you're in the middle of the band. A lot of people have the technology to play the format, so why not put it out there. It sounds great. Aaron Neville Filming scenes like that are always odd but I feel comfortable with Josh and care about him a great deal, so it could be much worse. Scenes like that are just part of the job. Nikki Cox It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. But the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool. Harold MacMillan Can anybody be given a great degree of creativity? No. They can be given the equipment to develop it-if they have it in them in the first place. George Shearing I'm well into sort of Santiago Calatrava and people like that. Sean Booth I do admit there have been t

reward which, for the benefit and amusement of our masters, keeps us running and thinking in safe circles. Beverly Jones If I leave my computer, I'm probably not going to get back for hours. If I take a few minutes to answer questions and go web surfing, then guilt kicks in and I get back to work. Raymond E. Feist The more that Japanese players go to the big leagues to play and succeed, the more that will serve to inspire young kids in Japan to want to become baseball players when they grow up. Ichiro Suzuki There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery. Enrico Fermi When you put your hand on the Bible, you are saying something much stronger than just telling your peers that you're going to tell the truth. Lee Greenwood It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity. Mahatma Gandhi I do not 'g

awesome responsibility of our leaders - to decide to send our kids to go off and kill and die for us. Joe Wilson When we can begin to take our failures seriously, it means we are ceasing to be afraid of them. It is of immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves. Katherine Mansfield I think one of the most difficult things for anyone who's played baseball is to accept the fact that maybe the players today are playing just as well as ever. Ralph Kiner Despite the success cult, men are most deeply moved not by the reaching of the goal but by the grandness of the effort involved in getting there - or failing to get there. Max Lerner Clinton was a president who used his office, in creative ways, to try to reinvigorate the federal government to benefit the majority. Sidney Blumenthal Luck consists largely of hanging on by your fingernails until things start to go your way. Aaron Allston Sometimes there are things worth risking your life for. It was Jesus who said

side of the border in areas where we think al-Qaida is operating and Taliban remnants are. John Abizaid If I am still doing what I'm doing and I still have respect in this town, haven't done anything completely and utterly stupid, then I'll be happy with myself. Jeremy London I'm intrigued by the way in which physical appearance can often direct a person's life; things happen differently for a beautiful woman than for a plain one. Penelope Lively I'm just not political. I have opinions, but there's nothing about the process that has ever interested me. I'm 22, and this is the first interview I've ever done in my life. Jenna Bush The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake, we will show the world that we will pass the test. George W. Bush Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough. Groucho Marx A loud noise at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other. Jerome K. Jerome An idea

his mind what acts, words, what thoughts or looks, shall constitute such a crime. Edward Livingston Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall. Frank Lloyd Wright If I survive, I will spend my whole life at the oven door seeing that no one is denied bread and, so as to give a lesson of charity, especially those who did not bring flour. Jose Marti The tendency of the casual mind is to pick out or stumble upon a sample which supports or defies its prejudices, and then to make it the representative of a whole class. Walter Lippmann What is the most beautiful in virile men is something feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine. Susan Sontag All causes are essentially mental, and whosoever comes into daily contact with a high order of thinking must take on some of it. Charles Fillmore The lies the government and medi

have always been the assumption that we ought to realize that we are the same the whole world over. Germaine Greer The pat on the back, the arm around the shoulder, the praise for what was done right and the sympathetic nod for what wasn't are as much a part of golf as life itself. Gerald R. Ford Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up. Anne Lamott It takes far less courage to kill yourself than it takes to make yourself wake up one more time. It's harder to stay where you are than to get out. For everyone but you, that is. Judith Rossner Dressing up is inevitably a substitute for good ideas. It is no coincidence that technically inept business types are known as 'suits'. Paul Graham To hate is to study, to study is to understand, to understand is to appreciate, to appreciate is to love. So maybe I'll end up loving your the

are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky. Katharine Hepburn Let's trace the birth of an idea. It's born as rampant radicalism, then it becomes progressivism, then liberalism, then it becomes moderated conservative, outmoded, and gone. Powell Clayton Acting is easy and fun. You earn a lot of money, and you bang out with girls. The profession is given tremendous significance within our society, but it's not really worthy of it. James Spader We need a President who is not afraid of complexity, who believes in an open and tolerant society, and who knows that the world can be made new again - and that President is Al Gore. Caroline Kennedy I'm relaxed about my career. I've been making movies for over 20 years, so I've earned at least the right to relax. Eddie Murphy I was six years old when I saw my first Godard movie, eight when I first experienced Bergman. I wanted to be a director when I was fourteen. Julie Delpy

people, and for whom delirium was the only solution to the strangulation that life had prepared for him. Antonin Artaud We can trust our doctors to be professional, to minister equally to their patients without regard to their political or religious beliefs. But we can no longer trust our professors to do the same. David Horowitz The world has fundamentally changed. It fundamentally changed when the Berlin Wall came down and the 'evil empire' ceased to exist. We are engaged around the world whether we like it or not. Robert Foster Bennett The ethics of editorial judgement, however, began to go though a sea change during the late 1970s and '80s when the Carter and Reagan Administrations de-regulated the television industry. Roger Mudd I've told my children that when I die, to release balloons in the sky to celebrate that I graduated. For me, death is a graduation. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Friendship is an arrangement by which we undertake to exchange small fa

it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination. Elizabeth Hardwick The Cruise missiles do not frighten anyone. We are catching them like fish in a river. I mean here that over the past two days, we managed to shoot down 196 missiles before they hit their target. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf It wasn't the greatest script in the world, but not many people can say they've played a wicked king in a swashbuckling Arthurian special-effects monster movie. David Thewlis Let us never forget that terrorism at its heart, at its evil heart, is a psychological war. It endeavors to break the spirit and the resolve of those it attacks by creating a lose-lose situation. Norm Coleman The forms of art are inexhaustible; but all lead by the same road of aesthetic emotion to the same world of aesthetic ecstasy. Clive Bell I don't do any songs that I'm sick of now - sometimes even songs that I request. If I'm sick of &

but I was in a band, and when you're successful doing that - well, you aren't too likely to go back. Peter Noone None of us know all the potentialities that slumber in the spirit of the population, or all the ways in which that population can surprise us when there is the right interplay of events. Vaclav Havel I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good. Oprah Winfrey If you are speaking about my own songs, I would think so because we were talking about that particular era and I was singing one of my songs that I recorded 50 years ago. Ruth Brown I can't do some of the songs that younger girls like Mary J. Blige and Beyonce are doing. They have their own place and I have my own place. Patti LaBelle Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. C. S. Lewis I never forget a

no evil, only an abundance of horror: the plagues and the blights and the ants and the maggots. Isak Dinesen Let there be nothing within thee that is not very beautiful and very gentle, and there will be nothing without thee that is not beautiful and softened by the spell of thy presence. James Allen Convinced as I am and as I am from my government that the world needs a new moral architecture over all I believe that this should be the first topic to debate in our world of today, ethics, moral. Hugo Chavez The rate of human invention is faster, and the rate of cultural loss is slower, in areas occupied by many competing societies with many individuals and in contact with societies elsewhere. Jared Diamond I just loved playing a man who was unafraid of making an idiot of himself in the process of falling in love. I found that admirable. Ben Kingsley If I could find anything blacker than black, I'd use it. J. M. W. Turner Why harass with eternal purposes a mind to

all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it. Carl Yastrzemski Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him. Pontius Pilate The Artist is he who detects and applies the law from observation of the works of Genius, whether of man or Nature. The Artisan is he who merely applies the rules which others have detected. Henry David Thoreau I found it liberating of necessity to devise my own style and my own tactics and to look for a voice on the instrument because there weren't really any that impacted strongly on me. Steve Swallow We're teaching our kids that attributes as vague and relatively meaningless as a toothy smile or a fine head of hair make a fine statement about a person. Neil Cavuto As far as humor goes, I've always been a very insecure person and

watch the film again; it's a soap opera in all its glory. It is superb and memorable. Timothy Dalton Indeed in the full flush of journalistic passion and conviction I once told an interviewer that of course I would never get married. And I most definitely would never have children. Christiane Amanpour Since we have placed justification in the revelation of Jesus Christ formed and brought forth in the heart, there working his works of righteousness and bringing forth the fruits of the Spirit. Robert Barclay It can not be done; it shall not be done! I speak for the great masses of the Mississippi Valley, and those west of it, when I say you shall not do it! Richard Parks Bland Most people are prisoners, thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present, and the present is where everything begins. Carlos Santana Whatever you may say, the body depends on the soul. Nikolai Gogol Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you g

good pipeline of new people coming into the company from the excellent universities around us. David Milne It's not about weight, it's about fitness, and one component of being fit is to have relatively low body fat, because fat is not very efficient, whereas muscle is. Deborah Bull People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that. Roger Penrose Jordan has a strange, haunting beauty and a sense of timelessness. Dotted with the ruins of empires once great, it is the last resort of yesterday in the world of tomorrow. I love every inch of it. Hussein of Jordan I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Claude Levi-Strauss We have to hate our immediate predecessors to get free of their authority. D. H. Lawrence Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls,

Lean back in the parade car so everybody can see the president. Eleanor Roosevelt Acting is the most personal of our crafts. The make-up of a human being - his physical, mental and emotional habits - influence his acting to a much greater extent than commonly recognized. Lee Strasberg Young actors are serious about their work and don't take any time out from it. I'm very serious about my work; there are probably only two films I've done where I had a really good time. Miranda Otto That first writing session, what Dan Hill calls a creative blind date, is always a real challenge, and you bring that back to your partner when you return to writing with them. Cynthia Weil Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life. Tony Robbins I must be allowed to be as I am. Agnetha Faltskog Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. William

he saw every morning and the last thing he ever saw. And that's how it turned out. Ron Reagan Why in almost all societies have married women specialized in bearing and rearing children and in certain agricultural activities, whereas married men have done most of the fighting and market work? Gary Becker I love to be in the position of not knowing what I'm gonna do, but having rehearsed all of those so when something happens with the others actors I go with whatever that is I'm getting. Wayne Rogers We are coming out of a century that was taught that one way of looking at the world, that one form of behavior, is as valid as another. The idea of true evil has been blown away. Dean Koontz For your benefit, learn from our tragedy. It is not a written law that the next victims must be Jews. It can also be other people. Simon Wiesenthal Couples are wholes and not wholes, what agrees disagrees, the concordant is discordant. From all things one and from one all thing

right in certain cases to do as we list; and the right we possess to the forbearance or assistance of other men. William Godwin For if there is anything to one's praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abuse - why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another! Richard Brinsley Sheridan I'd go from film to film and almost detach from one world and jump in another. I was living as these people and not having a self. I didn't know who I was. And things just get really dark. Angelina Jolie Should we have background checks, waiting periods? To drive a car you have to pass a test that shows you know how to drive your car safely, you should have to do the same thing with guns. Michael D. Barnes I think the people who did well, or are happy, in a youth industry, they define themselves out of the business after a decade or so. Robert Wyatt Failing to plan is planning to fail. Alan Lakein Sometimes I think t

instincts of openness and candor with full confidence that honesty is always the best policy in the end. Gerald R. Ford The vision of a nation formed from many different peoples bound together by a common love of freedom was staked out long before our lifetimes or even our parents' or grandparents' lifetimes. Trent Lott My sense of a poem - my notion of how you revise - is: you get yourself into a state where what you are intensely conscious of is not why you wrote it or how you wrote it, but what you wrote. Philip Levine To understand why dictators have a problem with making peace - or at least a genuine peace - the link between the nature of a regime and its external behavior must be understood. Natan Sharansky I guess everybody saw it. It's a deal where I'd been racing cars a long time and I knew going around the track the fender was on the tire hard. Sterling Marlin When shooting in the dark, it is a good idea to use a machine gun. Craig Bruce When

single one who didn't learn very young the trick of calling attention to himself in the right quarters? Storm Jameson You know I think that going into therapy is a very positive thing, and talking about it is really helpful, because the more you talk the more your fears fade, because you get it out. Fran Drescher My concentration level blocks out everything. Concentration is why some athletes are better than others. You develop that concentration in training and concentrate in a meet. Edwin Moses When we are angry or depressed in our creativity, we have misplaced our power. We have allowed someone else to determine our worth, and then we are angry at being undervalued. Julia Margaret Cameron That some are poorer than others, ever was and ever will be: And that many are naturally querulous and envious, is an Evil as old as the World. William Petty The Man Without a Country, was an orator no one could silence and no one could answer. Thomas Starr King The key to why

future we may be able to use the information that we can't receive at the moment. Sean Booth Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away. Marcus Aurelius The second thing for me, probably a few clicks down, is the idea that The Sims smoothly age and have different concerns and motivations and needs at different age ranges. Will Wright My whole career from the early 70s on has been mind-blowing. I didn't imagine in my life that I would ever be considered a guitar player first of all because I started off as a singer. George Benson Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit. Anton Chekhov Ambition is the last refuge of the failure. Oscar Wilde Farce is tragedy played at a thousand revolutions per minute. John Mortimer To be able

one page of paper Sam Walton considered the new idea too complicated to implement. Michael Bergdahl I loved the gentlemanly way they treated each other. It was unlike anything I was used to. I started helping them strike the set and, at 11, began taking acting classes privately. Jeffrey Tambor We have to deal with where we are. We have to create cooperatives, we have to create intentional communities, we have to work for local cooperation where we are. Jerry Brown Positive feelings come from being honest about yourself and accepting your personality, and physical characteristics, warts and all; and, from belonging to a family that accepts you without question. Willard Scott I suspect that even today, with all the progress we have made in liberal thought, the quality of true tolerance is as rare as the quality of mercy. Frank Knox I've no idea what Eddie Irvine's orders are, but he's following them superlatively well. Murray Walker All the white meat is gon

imagine living in is Utopian; and so cynical that the only Utopia we can believe in is authoritarian. Lionel Trilling The law is constantly based on notions of morality, and if all laws representing essentially moral choices are to be invalidated under the due process clause, the courts will be very busy indeed. Byron White We usually break our records every Monday, so we'll see what turns up tonight after midnight. Next month it'll probably be higher, which is always weird. Drew Curtis I've been in elementary education for years and my belief is that Christmas pageants in schools are little more than conditioning kids for the Christian religion. Jack Bowman I dream of a collaboration that would finally be total, in which the librettist would often think as a composer and the composer as a librettist. Jacques Ibert In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing. Mignon McLaughlin Temptations come, as a general r

to remove the power of wealthy interests over elected officials. Dick Murphy Unlike most major American cities, Honolulu is geographically insulated from the rest of the country. When disaster strikes we cannot call on neighboring states for assistance. Daniel Akaka The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights'. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself. Queen Victoria We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding that we must learn a great deal more about 'and'. Arthur Eddington It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them. P. G. Wodehouse Truths begin by a conflict with the police - and end by calling them in. Emile M. Cioran Whenever I get happy, I always have a terrible feeling. Roman Polanski Success - ke

You turn out things on a revolving assembly line. You don't have time to perfect anything in television. Gale Gordon In a broader sense, the rhythms of nature, large and small - the sounds of wind and water, the sounds of birds and insects - must inevitably find their analogues in music. George Crumb I think I won't do for your business at all, but personally I have no fight with you. You can go on and save all the critics you can, but don't send them to me. Frank Richard Stockton I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do. Bill Murray Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared. David Ben-Gurion To have a film in America means precisely nothing if you don't have a distributor who stands behind it. Arthur Cohn The more I travele

will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one's life. Peace Pilgrim I was trying to figure out what to do next, I'd been accumulating ideas for productivity tools - software people could use every day, particularly to help organize their lives. Mitch Kapor It is not safe in the republican form of government that clannishness should exist either by compulsory or voluntary reason. It is not good for the government and it is not good for the individual. Timothy Thomas Fortune We need spies that look like their targets, CIA officers who speak the dialects terrorists use, and FBI agents who can speak to Muslim women who might be intimidated by men. Jane Harman Live so that when the final summons comes you will leave something more behind you than an epitaph on a tombstone or an obituary in a newspaper. Billy Sunday It is only in appearance that time is a river. It is rather a vast landscape and it is the eye of the beholder that moves. Thornton

checks which still isn't that important, but again, I have to just say that we're making our records. Bruce Johnston I hope that the Senate acts quickly to pass this legislation so that Americans will no longer worry about having to sell the family farm or business to pay taxes after the death of a loved one. Doc Hastings I think back a little bit when President Bush was elected President and what kind of economy he inherited from the Clinton administration. The economy was going down. It was not doing well. Wayne Allard There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it. Charles Mackay The universal order and the personal order are nothing but different expressions and manifestations of a common underlying principle. Marcus Aurelius Women, you can have it all - a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career. Jada Pi

reporting, with simple ideas: this is white, that's black; this is good, that's bad. Krzysztof Kieslowski Telling the entire world and his dog how good a manager I was. I knew I was the best but I should have said nowt and kept the pressure off 'cos they'd have worked it out for themselves. Brian Clough I hope that some day the practice of producing cowpox in human beings will spread over the world - when that day comes, there will be no more smallpox. Edward Jenner Paranoia is an illness I contracted in institutions. It is not the reason for my sentences to reform school and prison. It is the effect, not the cause. Jack Henry Abbott I've been so fortunate because I never really had ups and downs as far as my career. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I've been sold out all over the world. Tony Bennett Trust is a great force multiplier. Tom Ridge It's not important to me to found a school; it's not important to me to have disciples. John

what was felt yesterday, to be today's living corpse of what yesterday was lived and lost. Fernando Pessoa The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder. Jim Morrison The white people of the South are the greatest minority in this nation. They deserve consideration and understanding instead of the persecution of twisted propaganda. Strom Thurmond You start at the end, and then go back and write and go that way. Not everyone does, but I do. Some people just sit down at the page and start off. I start from what happened, including the why. Anne Perry I can think of a lot of words to describe Senator Kerry's position on Iraq; 'consistent' is not one of them. Dick Cheney Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls. Joseph Campbell I haven't reported my missing credit card to the police because whoever stole it

to let hard-working Americans keep more of their money - after all, the money belongs to them, not to Washington. Rob Bishop The Indians began to be troublesome all around me, killing and wounding cattle, stealing horses, and threatening to attack us. I was obliged to make campaigns against them and punish them. John Sutter In the past, I'd sort of know before Ozzy sang something, what he was going to sing. I'd know what sort of way a melody was going to go 'cause of the way he'd approach it. Tony Iommi All of my activities are so pedestrian. The extreme sport I play is ping pong. And we play it hard. If any of you suckers want to step up to the table, be ready. Seth Green It is reasonable to expect the doctor to recognize that science may not have all the answers to problems of health and healing. Norman Cousins Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves. Josh Billings That's me, man - I'm a lover not a fighter. Wayne Wonde

going to do anything until I come to that bridge. I'm not going to jump off the bridge until I come to it. Arlen Specter Every person is so different and I don't think there is an exact match for every person. If you meet someone and they have 20 of the 25 things you want in a person, then you're pretty lucky. Amanda Bynes I'm hoping that with the high profile that the Go-Go's are going to have over the next year, that if anybody is interested in what else I do, I'll have something I can say that I do. Kathy Valentine We are not a Zappa cover band. We only play Frank's songs that were recorded by the Mothers of Invention and I think a lot of those songs were complex. Jimmy Carl Black I wanted to be as far away from everybody as I could be. I found it difficult to be close to anybody, not just the guys in the band. Rick Allen Greenspan tells us what to do. Someone should take him out and hang him. Hutton Gibson Once we realize that imperfect

every time. If I have to choose between the White House and the farmhouse, I choose the farmhouse. Ben Nelson Our system is the height of absurdity, since we treat the culprit both as a child, so as to have the right to punish him, and as an adult, in order to deny him consolation. Claude Levi-Strauss One of the reasons I don't see eye to eye with Women's Lib is that women have it all on a plate if only they knew it. They don't have to be pretty either. Charlotte Rampling I didn't plan on rock-n-roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock-n-roll with jazz, and I thought I could make some money playing music. Robby Krieger In Hollywood today, it's cool for guys to wear nail polish and earrings in their lips and tongues. I don't get it. Scott Caan Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth. Susanna Moodie Well, over the years, I've

Communism is exploitation of the strong by the weak. Pierre-Joseph Proudhon Second, there are so many magical places in books that you can't go to, like Hogwarts and Middle Earth, so I wanted to set a story in a place where children can actually go.

targeting school-age children as the next generation of terrorists. Pat Roberts To the mind, God is a perfect criminal. He has done such a perfect crime by creating this world that mind cannot trace how He did it. That is why the mind always freaks out about God. Prem Rawat In a bad marriage, friends are the invisible glue. If we have enough friends, we may go on for years, intending to leave, talking about leaving - instead of actually getting up and leaving. Erica Jong Now, when we face a problem like global warming, and you understand that the biggest impacts on global warming come from business and industry, I think business needs to take a leading role.

Herman Kahn There are some people who have the quality of richness and joy in them and they communicate it to everything they touch.

You can't see it, you can't find it with your fingers, but you keep brushing at it because the feel of it is irritating. Marian Anderson With a foreign policy appropriately rooted in some sense of humanitarian decency, the Central African crisis will not be easily ignored by American policymakers. It screams for remedy. Michael Johns They give me the money, I give them the book.

and pregnant women, until this Administration puts public health before politics.

Rob Zombie Sometimes a great wound or concussion of the head, especially which happens by falling headlong from an high place, brings a prejudice and weakness to the animal faculty, dulling the understanding.

Aaron Sorkin There is more credit and satisfaction in being a first-rate truck driver than a tenth-rate e

so that family farms and businesses can be passed down to children and grandchildren. Doc Hastings The buffalo isn't as dangerous as everyone makes him out to be. Statistics prove that in the United States more Americans are killed in automobile accidents than are killed by buffalo.

David Price The things we truly love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as life remains. Josephine Baker Infatuated, half through conceit, ha

minutes a day spent by the average couple talking to each other. Hugh Mackay Although as a boy I had dreamed about going into space, I had completely forgotten about that until one day I received a call from an astronaut, who suggested that I should join the program. David M. Brown Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day, as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer. D. H. Lawrence When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.

Henry Austin Dobson We were very influenced by The Beatles, no question. Barry Gibb Capital isn't scarce; vision is. Sam Walton If it wasn't for the military I proba

are any minority in this country at all, what could possibly possess you to vote Republican? Cher If someone wants to sticker a record for whatever reason, that's fine. But once it affects someone's opportunity to, you know, get that record, then I have a problem with it.

Nowadays a path is scarcely opened up when the crowd begins to pour in. Jean Rostand After 9/11, we realized that all these silly culture wars, and arguing about rock lyrics... who cares? You know, we, for some reason, remembered what our real problems are. Frank Rich But then all that died down and as far as casting was concerned it didn't really matter that I had been on Broadway.

to tell them you're not that crazy about a property you did that possibly they liked. Jackie Cooper I think it's safe to say that each of us has at least one issue we are passionate about and struggle with, issues that robs us of our peace, our joy and our ability to experience love. Lindsay Wagner October is a fine and dangerous season in America. a wonderful time to begin anything at all. You go to college, and every course in the catalogue looks wonderful. Thomas Merton Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war - for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I'd say we deserve ours more. John Lennon I never dislike anyone that I am in competition with. I welcome the challenge. Besides, I get along with just about everyone. Dante Hall We must expect to fail... but fail in a learning posture, determined no to repeat the mistakes, and to maximize the benefits from what is learned in t

Thomas Dekker I went to the Westminster College for Men in Missouri, which is what it was called back then, and transferred to the University of Denver where I ultimately got my degree. Ted Shackelford The mathematician, carried along on his flood of symbols, dealing apparently with purely formal truths, may still reach results of endless importance for our description of the physical universe. Karl Pearson I seem to find different material every four to six months and I frequently forget it which is a shame because it would be nice to have a bigger library.

the horse starves, but the man of money is the man for Nova Scotia. Those may do extremely well. Nathaniel Smith Ideology and communication more often than not run into each other rather than complement each other. Principle and communication work together. Ideology and communication often work apart. Frank Luntz I sometimes wonder what would've happened if I'd entered the competition instead - I'd probably have come nowhere and given up on the whole fiction game. Paul Kane I want to invest and have my own record label and artists. I want to have a business where my kids, kids, kids will still have something going on long after I'm gone. Chingy An intense anticipation itself transforms possibility into reality; our desires being often but precursors of the things which we are capable of performing. Samuel Smiles The dominant feeling of the battlefield is loneliness. William Slim The Devil, can sometimes do a very gentlemanly thing. Robert Louis Steven

most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation. Walt Disney The romantic love we feel toward the opposite sex is probably one extra help from God to bring you together, but that's it. All the rest of it, the true love, is the test. Joan Chen Try to find the path of least resistance and use it without harming others. Live with integrity and morality, not only with people but with all beings. Steven Seagal Most of my songs are about Jesus. Most of my songs are about the idea that there is salvation, and that there is a Savior. But I won't mention his name in a song just to get a cheap play. Pete Townshend Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.

Chesnutt The historic ascent of humanity, taken as a whole, may be summarized as a succession of victories of consciousness over blind forces - in nature, in society, in man himself. Leon Trotsky My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It's so different today, because children are just not taught the right way. Betty Cuthbert There is a spirit and a need and a man at the beginning of every great human advance. Every one of these must be right for that particular moment of history, or nothing happens. Coretta Scott King Have a bias toward action - let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away. Indira Gandhi The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not alway

to go until the next World Cup and for us it's one ruthless game after another where we can play well. Matthew Hayden A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering. Freeman Dyson Our government declared that it is conducting some kind of great reforms. In reality, no real reforms were begun and no one at any point has declared a coherent programme. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn I am proud to be in the Senate. I have always been proud to be a part of our political system. It is a remarkable privilege to participate in this system of ours.

and that any who can feel these vibrations is inspired. Richard Wagner There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use. Mother Teresa The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion. Dwight D. Eisenhower If government half a century ago had provided us with all our dinners and breakfasts, it would be the practice of our orators today to assume the impossibility of our providing for ourselves. Auberon Herbert The use and threat of force, when world peace is not in danger, are no longer valid frames of reference for achieving the ends sought today by sovereign nations. Carlos Salinas de Gortari Conventional people are roused to fury by departure from convention, largely because they regard such departure as a

a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves. Willem de Kooning I've seen a dead body, I've seen some pretty gruesome fist fights, I've been a hunter since I was a child, though I don't anymore, I've gutted wild game. George Eads The decisive moment in the defeat of upper class, capital-S, Society may have come when, in newspapers all over the nation, what used to be call the Society page was replaced by the Style section. Joseph Epstein Fear is a problem with film music and films; people want to be conventional, and there's more commercialism today. If you are not daring in your art, you're bankrupt.

Casey Affleck People who are in a fortunate position always attribute virtue to what makes them so happy. John Kenneth Galbraith I made t

you can have relationship that can just continue to grow in a beautiful way. Beth Orton France and Italy have not yet signed this treaty or agreed to naval limitation as between those nations, but I have confidence that in time they will do so. Frank B. Kellogg Not only don't I know who I am, but I'm very suspicious of people who do know who they are. I am sometimes ten or twelve people a day, and sometimes four or five people an hour! Tom Baker Much of what is called investment is actually nothing more than mergers and acquisitions, and of course mergers and acquisitions are generally accompanied by downsizing. Susan George Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. Hannah Arendt The first music I was exposed to was Stravinsky and I loved it but I don't remember it. Leo Kottke I think it's Jerry's masterful fiction writing. Tim LaHaye Where one pers

One of the main songs we used to sing in church makes me sick, 'love wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Peter Tosh I distrust Great Men.

If you want to fritter it away with your fears, then you will fritter it away, but you won't get it back later. Laura Schlessinger I didn't train to make the Olympic team until 1968. I simply trained for the moment. I never even imagined I would be an Olympic athlete. It always seemed to evolve. Dick Fosbury The overwhelming public sentiment in India was that no meaningful dialogue can be held with Pakistan until it abandons the use of terrorism as an instrument of its foreign policy. Atal Bihari Vajpayee We assume, to begin with, that the individual is at least as complex in his internal structure as the language is which he speaks - otherwise, how could he speak a language which is complex? Kenneth L. Pike The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence... sort of like the Post Office with tanks. Emo Philips You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times. Kenneth Edmonds The one thing I can assure you is that I

he forgets that it was not his good judgment, but his charming manners, that won her heart. Helen Rowland Think about it: Every educated person is not rich, but almost every education person has a job and a way out of poverty. So education is a fundamental solution to poverty. Kathleen Blanco In any case, fighting will not settle whether the claims were just or unjust. It will only settle which nation can mobilize and handle its fighting forces and its economic forces the better. Rufus Jones Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature.

he had missed. He would feel badly. Everyone would feel badly. But he never let them down. James Randi So while it is true that I find really dark stuff funny sometimes, it's also true that as a writer of books I want to have the whole range of human emotions. Rick Moody Of course people don't want war. Why should a poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best thing he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Hermann Goering Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily.

Olivier Messiaen Hope against hope, and ask till ye receive. James Montgomery Life would be so wonderful if we only knew what to do with it. Greta Garbo I love

but I, with all my style and pep, can't get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother. Anzia Yezierska Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off; he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door. Meister Eckhart Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats. Diane Arbus Impeachment is not a remedy for private wrongs; it's a method of removing someone whose continued presence in office would cause grave danger to the nation. Charles Ruff I believe with all my heart that civilization has produced nothing finer than a man or woman who thinks and practices true tolerance. Frank Knox The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven't made up their minds. Casey Stengel With my mask, I c

an Arab equivalent of Theo van Gogh, it will be a huge step forward. Ayaan Hirsi Ali The advantage that hospitals have over other institutions is that hospitals are community-based. You can't outsource your work; you can't move your emergency department to Pakistan. Mark Shields We believe that the vote would have been close. We regret that in the face of an explicit threat to veto by a permanent member, the vote-counting became a secondary consideration. John Negroponte Intelligence is our first line of defense against terrorism, and we must improve the collection capabilities and analysis of intelligence to protect the security of the United States and its allies.

Swami Sivananda And we just went with Julie because that name hadn't been used in any other popular songs at the time. Bobby Sherman A man's feet should be planted i

The world as it is needs those who will love it enough to change it, with what they have, where they are. Robert Fulghum I knew Bobby Dylan back in the days when he lived in the village. He used to come and see me and sing songs for me, saying they ought to go into my next collected book on American folk music. Alan Lomax It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures. Vincent Van Gogh Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure and the absence of pain. John Stuart Mill What we prefer to read is sort of like sexual preference, you like what you like. Most of the time you have no clue why. Laurell K. Hamilton I cannot know anything of which there is and can be only one. Leo Strauss I like the variety. But basically my

there can be little doubt that the Council on Foreign Relations helped to make it so. Spencer Abraham The technology at the leading edge changes so rapidly that you have to keep current after you get out of school. I think probably the most important thing is having good fundamentals. Gordon Moore I find it interesting that many of the people who want to restrict fossil fuels live in well-developed countries where abundant and affordable energy is readily available. Lee R. Raymond Money is kind of a base subject. Like water, food, air and housing, it affects everything yet for some reason the world of academics thinks it's a subject below their social standing. Robert Kiyosaki Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer. Denis Waitley Even though things happen by accident, you also unconsciously choose things that help you. Nastassja Kinski But no, had I been successful in m

I graduated in '86 and she graduated in '88. We began dating when she was 17. Actually she turned 18 when we started kissing and stuff. Cuba Gooding, Jr. During that first year, I felt guilty that my wife was out working bringing in all our income, while I was at home playing on the computer, so I made myself treat writing like a job. George Stephen How do you grow up in the shadow of a guy - I want to talk about the movie in a second - but how do you grow up in the shadow of a guy who really is a legend in his own time? Tavis Smiley We need to have a strong economy that can create employment opportunities and that can also produce the revenue that we need to defend our country at home and abroad. Bob Menendez If you work with Jim Carrey, you're working with the best. Peter Farrelly

determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age. Morrissey I've always been an avid reader. If I don't have a book in the car, I'll stop and pick one up just to have something to read. I don't even remember learning to read. Janis Ian We had to do the same thing here. To top that sequel was quite a task. Mike had a couple of good conceptual humour and character ideas, which got me back into it.

disappear from the surface of the earth for months, without a trace. No one really knows where they are. Guy Hamilton Doing a TV show, you're on an assembly line and it's as cut and dry as that. There are some shows that are exceptions. There are producers that want really special things. James Darren Full surely there is a blessedness beyond the grave for those who have already entered on it here, and in no other form than that wherein they know it here, at any moment. Johann Gottlieb Fichte Don't be a time manager, be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself. Denis Waitley I've developed into quite a swan. I'm one of those people that will probably look better and better as I get older until I drop dead of beauty. Rufus Wainwright False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life

before in a cause like this - a cause for which I would most cheerfully risk and lay down my life. David Wooster I am not thinking that because people say I am great that I really am great. I am just doing a job, just like everybody else. The only difference is that a lot more people see what I do. Oded Fehr I always clean before the cleaning lady comes. If not, when I come home, I can't find anything. Cleaning ladies are always hiding things you leave out. Celia Cruz When I was a bit older I had all of the George Carlin records, all of the Steve Martin records, all of the Cheech and Chong records and all of the Richard Pryor records. Marc Maron There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.

Donald Cargill On this day, so full for Americans of thoughts connected with their National Independence, we may not forget that Americans have yet other grounds for gratitude to the people of the Netherlands.

Lincoln Chafee Stride forward with a firm, steady step knowing with a deep, certain inner knowing that you will reach every goal you set yourselves, that you will achieve every aim .

honor in a country so devoted to this cause and whose history marks a wonderful chapter in world development. Frank B. Kellogg The Leader will be a person with the management skills to coordinate the activities of the Team, and to assure that the Team remains faithful to the objectives of the incoming President. Richard V. Allen The story drove the book. That had a very seminal effect on the way I saw writing and storytelling.

Dick Wolf My life as a working theorist began three months after this preliminary study and background reading, when Oscar gently nudged me toward working on a particular problem. Rudolph A. Marcus It's better to be known by six people for something you're proud of than by 60 million for something you're not. Albert Brooks Marrying into money was not a good thing for me. Anna Nicole Smith The man who has no problems is out of the game. E

for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They're too much fun. Babe Ruth In reference to Cat Stevens, it is very, very important we have accurate information on our terrorist watch list and our no fly list and that you have a remedy. Asa Hutchinson Nobody should trust their virtue with necessity, the force of which is never known till it is felt, and it is therefore one of the first duties to avoid the temptation of it. Mary Wortley Montagu I have found that being honest is the best technique I can use. Right up front, tell people what you're trying to accomplish and what you're willing to sacrifice to accomplish it. Lee Iacocca Whatever people in general do not understand, they are always prepared to dislike; the incomprehensible is always the obnoxious. Letitia Elizabeth Landon My opinion, my conviction, gains immensely in strength and sureness the minute a second mind as adopted it. Malcolm Muggeridg

done, lifting from my shoulders the millstone of lies that I hadn't even realized I was carrying. Ian Mckellen I cannot doubt that women will line up, like the men elected, with the groups whose political thinking and convictions are in accord with their own political convictions. Edith Rogers I can analyse the trajectory of my popularity and find out why the peak was a peak and the valley was a valley - grapple with it that way - but I prefer not to analyse it that much. Corey Hart Among the many reasons assignable for the sad decay of true Christianity, perhaps the neglecting to assemble ourselves together, in religious societies, may not be one of the least. George Whitefield I'm more of a visual person, but I think that reading's extremely important. But I'm very easily distracted. It takes certain books to really grab you in. Jason Marsden Well, my brother says Hello. So, hooray for speech therapy. Emo Philips We don't receive wisdom; we must
