share what they know but because they need the company of the like-minded, the fellow afflicted. Don DeLillo As a matter of traditional and sound constitutional doctrine, an amendment to the Constitution should be the last resort when all other measures have proved inadequate. Arlen Specter People thought me a bit strange at first; a blond haired, blue-eyed Norwegian who sang Mexican folk songs, but I used it to my advantage and got a job. And so the music became my ticket to education. David Soul According to New York publishers, Bill Clinton will get more money for his book than Hillary Clinton got for hers. Well, duh. At least his book has some sex in it. Jay Leno Because we are continually growing in the Lord, preachers and lay people alike must be open to the Lord's correction. Benny Hinn I have concluded that the U.N. can do a few things well. Gordon Smith If you scratch a great photograph, you find two things; a painting and a photograph. Janet Malcolm I...

period of time, maybe three or four years. If you haven't made it in your chosen art form, dump it. Cliff Richard If most American cities are about the consumption of culture, Los Angeles and New York are about the production of culture - not only national culture but global culture. Barbara Kruger When we finished the tour we had been writing together for a year. We moved forward from there and have just now finished our record. We're having a new record out in the Spring. Kathy Valentine I hate the idea of getting in a building that someone else has designed and having to do something to it yourself to sort of dress it up - it's like using presets in your tracks. Sean Booth The Indian Summer of life should be a little sunny and a little sad, like the season, and infinite in wealth and depth of tone, but never hustled. Henry Adams Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action. Peter Drucker E...

background in commercial art. To be honest, I didn't think about him a hell of a lot. Barbara Kruger I visited the Chinese side last year. The Chinese are in a constant state of military readiness. They have all their nuclear weapons in the area, presumably trained on targets across the border. Harrison Salisbury The fundamental sense of freedom is freedom from chains, from imprisonment, from enslavement by others. The rest is extension of this sense, or else metaphor. Isaiah Berlin The upside to smoking is that you get to be social. I was looking for a light when I bumped into Ben Harper's manager. A couple of days later, Ben and I were in the studio. Beth Orton Today it is becoming harder to speak out, with the inception of the Patriot Act, the president has legislated free speech to be a crime. Frank Serpico I have only one eye, I have a right to be blind sometimes... I really do not see the signal! Horatio Nelson Truth is a thing immortal and perpetual, an...

love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are. Angelina Jolie They were looking for actors - real actors - who could play instruments. There was a lot of improvisation and scene work involved in addition to the music. The auditions went on for a long time. Micky Dolenz I think most people... would be glad to pay the same taxes they paid when Bill Clinton was president, if only they could have the same economy they had when Bill Clinton was president. Howard Dean Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy. Denis Waitley An emancipated society, on the other hand, would not be a unitary state, but the realization of universality in the reconciliation of differences. Theodor Adorno The body is the soul's poor house or home, whose ribs the laths are and whose fles...

war. It's not appeasement. I think it's better even to call it American self-interest. Michael Scheuer Early in my career I was accused of being overconfident and even cocky, but I really was confident that I had done the training and didn't see any other reason to say otherwise. Alberto Salazar Most of us are consumed with our own thoughts and desires and are not always thinking about what other people may want. This is not necessarily being egocentric; it is just being human. Bo Bennett I am entirely certain that twenty years from now we will look back at education as it is practiced in most schools today and wonder that we could have tolerated anything so primitive. John W. Gardner Imagination allows us to escape the predictable. It enables us to reply to the common wisdom that we cannot soar by saying, 'Just watch!' Bill Bradley I love acting and making your own luck. You have to recreate yourself, I guess. Although, I don't know how. Dennis ...

It may break your heart, but it will fill your heart before it breaks it; it will make you a person in your own right. Maxwell Anderson I am a firm believer in free but fair trade. However the United States should not be on the losing end of trade agreements that are not enforced. It is time that we make China play fairly. Elizabeth Dole When the drama attains a characterization which makes the play a revelation of human conduct and a dialogue which characterizes yet pleases for itself, we reach dramatic literature. George Pierce Baker Modern man must descend the spiral of his own absurdity to the lowest point; only then can he look beyond it. It is obviously impossible to get around it, jump over it, or simply avoid it. Vaclav Havel If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless. Moliere I stress the uniqueness of the Australian landscape and its metaphysical and mythic content. Arthur Boyd...

themselves less seriously. This world is so screwed up as it is, we've all got to relax a bit more. Michael Bay In considering found that the papists did not deny him to be come in the flesh, nor we did not deny him - who then was antichrist? Was the Turk antichrist only? Anne Hutchinson I remember the difficulty we had in the beginning replacing magnetic cores in memories and eventually we had both cost and performance advantages. But it wasn't at all clear in the beginning. Gordon Moore I'm not ready to be a woman yet, I'd like it if my body were more boyish. Maybe I'll like my curves when I'm older but right now they kind of make me squirm. Vanessa Marcil Greatness, in the last analysis, is largely bravery - courage in escaping from old ideas and old standards and respectable ways of doing things. James Harvey Robinson It's interesting, because I tend to trust a man with big ears. Mo Rocca Better times perhaps await us who are now wretch...

he would promote and the nominations he would make to an already closely divided U.S. Supreme Court. Patricia Ireland You don't have any kind of sense of being foolish when you are acting. When you're younger you don't want to look a fool, so you don't do things that might make you vulnerable. Tom Wilkinson No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book. Ellen Glasgow In addition to the clean coal provisions, the energy conference agreement contains provisions instrumental in helping increase conservation and lowering consumption. Jerry Costello I know we didn't make an anti-Semitic film. This is what the Gospels are. And it's none of my business what other people think of me. Jim Caviezel No one has a closest friend in Hollywood. Sheilah Graham The truth is, it's not a great career move to create a readership and then, ...

can imagine it is disturbed by the breathing and tossing of a mighty giant below. Ernest Shackleton Democrats were quick to point out that President Bush's budget creates a 1 trillion dollar deficit. The White House quickly responded with 'Hey, look over there, it's Saddam Hussein.' Craig Kilborn That's free enterprise, friends: freedom to gamble, freedom to lose. And the great thing - the truly democratic thing about it - is that you don't even have to be a player to lose. Barbara Ehrenreich There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it. Louis Pasteur Others live on in a careless and lukewarm state - not appearing to fill Longfellow's measure: 'Into each life, some rain must fall.' Mary Todd Lincoln The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cros...

is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity. Charles Mingus These few dollars you lose here today are going to buy you stories to tell your children and great-grandchildren. This could be one of the big moments in your life; don't make it your last! John Dillinger But had they not paid that advance we would have lost much more, we would have started to go and look for the product all over again, the refinery would have stopped working. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing.' Daniel J. Boorstin The strongest bank in the United States will last only so long as the people will have sufficient confidence in it to keep their money there. Carter G. Woodson I decided we should book ourselves, so I started booking the band. Ruben Blades There are peop...

and save some money. But it was very enlightening, by the way. I'm talking about light from the gutter. Susan Powter That is not to say that we can relax our readiness to defend ourselves. Our armament must be adequate to the needs, but our faith is not primarily in these machines of defense but in ourselves. Chester W. Nimitz Now I am a writer who can command fairly good payments from magazines with large circulations, I very often refuse to write for them and still write sometimes for small magazines for nothing. George Woodcock Government cannot do everything, so we need to first decide what government ought to be doing, then figure out what it's capable of doing, and then follow the jobs we choose to completion. Ernie Fletcher The same energy of character which renders a man a daring villain would have rendered him useful in society, had that society been well organized. Mary Wollstonecraft If we hope for what we are not likely to possess, we act and think in...

that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they ought to be. William Hazlitt The prosecution wants to make sure the process by which the evidence was obtained is not truthfully presented, because, as often as not, that process will raise questions. Alan Dershowitz I just want someone to explain to the American public why investing in transportation in Iraq is so much more important than investing in passenger rail right here in the United States of America. Corrine Brown People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning, there will be no failure. Lao Tzu I know that to write you have to have stories you want to tell. You have to keep your mind alive, and you have to work hard. Tracy Kidder When you are led by values, it doesn't cost your business, it helps your business. Jerry Greenfield The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things...

not send me any more studies. Do not send me another piecemeal approach that confuses tinkering with real reform. Mark Warner The creative individual has the capacity to free himself from the web of social pressures in which the rest of us are caught. He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept. John W. Gardner I extract what I consider the best material from different sources. But often the material I perform comes from a very strange location in history, which are minstrel shows. Leon Redbone Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work. Mother Teresa My father was frightened of his mother; I was frightened of my father, and I am damned well going to see to it that my children are frightened of me. King George V I think I'm going to be around awhile. Dan Marino Quite the opposite. I might fall on my face, but I feel born a...

John Poindexter A total nuclear freeze is counterproductive - especially now, when technology is rapidly changing and the Soviets have some important strategic advantages. Herman Kahn Today I can declare my hope and declare it from the bottom of my heart that we will eventually see the time when that number of nuclear weapons is down to zero and the world is a much better place. Colin Powell At the conclusion of my argument I received very high compliments from the Chief Justice and later from other of the Judges. What they said I do not care to repeat. William Henry Moody There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish. Warren Bennis Never think you're better than anyone else, but don't let anyone treat you like you're worse than they are. Rip Torn The Cardinal is at his wit...

sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance. William Osler In my mind, the re-election of Richard Nixon, compared with what was available on the other side, was so much more important that I put it in just that context. John N. Mitchell I'd be interested to read Gull's paper on it, and I wish Alan would put it in somewhere. It gives him a relevance to our times, which he doesn't otherwise have. Gull, I mean, not Alan. Eddie Campbell The difference between the denominational system and the public school system is all the difference between bolstering them up on the one hand and letting them alone of the other. Edmund Barton The Senate is a place filled with goodwill and good intentions, and if the road to hell is paved with them, then it's a pretty good detour. Hubert H. Humphrey John Danforth, I thought, was a great senator and did a great job with the United Nations. I think he's a good man. Ken Mehlman When I was younger, I...

give it. To be pleased, one must please. What pleases you in others, will in general please them in you.

David Hackworth There are people who kind of gravitate towards running politics based on new ideas and issues, and that was what the secret was for Clinton. John Podesta The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in ...

into a computer. It can get lonely sometimes and lots of writers live quite isolated lives. Paul Kane If operating in a network environment, do not place public domain or shareware programs in a common file-server directory that could be accessible to any other PC on the network. John McAfee You know, Motorcycle Diaries has no incredible stories, no sudden plot twists, it doesn't play that way. It's about recognizing that instance of change and embracing it. Gael Garcia Bernal Liza, I love you more than any words can say. You have made me a complete person. You are everything to me. And I cannot think of living life without you. And I love you forever. David Gest You can't really tell what the audience wants but you can tell what will keep everybodies attention in the same place. Leo Kottke The jest loses its point when he who makes it is the first to laugh. Friedrich Schiller If you work harder than somebody else, chances are you'll beat him though he...

the aspiring spirit can dream o' nights, yet on the stage it is the first thing to aim at. Ellen Terry When our thoughts - which bring actions - are filled with hate against anyone, Negro or white, we are in a living hell. That is as real as hell will ever be. George Washington Carver I wanted to do two things when I was growing up, about your age. I wanted to play in the NBA, and I wanted to be a businessman after my basketball career was over, and that is what I am doing now.

world around them, so they see their city, house or family in a slightly different way after playing. Will Wright The difference is that for a soundly conceived and solidly endowed republic it takes a great deal longer for those seeds to germinate and the plants to grow. Robert W. Welch, Jr. But when I really look back on my life, being really honest about it and now that I've got the chance to travel the world, seeing how a lot of little kids grow up - my life wasn't so bad. Coolio There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own. Berenice Abbott The Gateway to Christianity is not through an intricate labyrinth of dogma, but by a simple belief in the person of Christ. Norman Vincent Peale Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance... poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music. Ezra Pound Ever notice how irons have a setting ...

person is suspected of wrongdoing. But widespread use of the polygraph as a screening tool goes far beyond what is acceptable. Jeff Bingaman You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you. Brian Tracy When I went to the University, the medical school was the only place where one could hope to find the means to study life, its nature, its origins, and its ills. Albert Claude I'm mad at Hank Aaron for deciding to play one more season. I threw him his last home run and thought I'd be remembered forever. Now, I'll have to throw him another. Bill Lee The facts of life are that a child who has seen war cannot be compared with a child who doesn't know what war is except from television. Sophia Loren I like to have fun and be funny, but I'm much more of a thinker. Keenen Ivory Wayans You hit somebody with your fist and not ...

with senses, memories, emotions, thoughts, and the space of mind in its wisdom aspect. Alex Grey In some of the countries where we operate, there is a tradition of corruption, in which the political elites work with business in the framework of unsavory relationships. Lee R. Raymond The future hasn't happened yet and the past is gone. So I think the only moment we have is right here and now, and I try to make the best of those moments, the moments that I'm in. Annie Lennox I want to go out at the top, but the secret is knowing when you're at the top, it's so difficult in this business, your career fluctuates all the time, up and down, like a pair of trousers. Rod Stewart It appeared as if I had invited the audience into the water with me, and it conveyed the sensation that being in there was absolutely delicious. Esther Williams No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect. George Bernard Sha...

Donna Tartt They do not understand Islam, and I think that is one area where perhaps I hope one day I will play a role in actually making people understand what we perceive Islam to be. Imran Khan I'm rather old-fashioned about this video business. It's all relatively new. We really don't do videos, Fleetwood Mac. We've only done two. Christine McVie I had a wonderful childhood, coming from Cincinnati, and I think that it was great going into the life that I was going to have, where you have to start young as a dancer. Suzanne Farrell Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose. Eknath Easwaran I'm not eager to jump into marriage again. I'm in the corner right now, wearing my dunce cap. That area is obviously a nightmare. Lisa Marie Presley Libraries are not made, they g...

out. I'm just so thrilled and excited. The sale of guns must stop. Halfway measures are not enough. Sarah Brady I want to live 50 more years. I'm 33 years old... and I want to live to at least be 80 and see my kids grow up and see my grandkids. That's important to me. Alonzo Mourning Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish. Sam Walton In grade school, I was a complete geek. You know, there's always the kid who's too short, the kid who wears glasses, the kid who's not athletic. Well, I was all three. Julianne Moore Show me the person you honor, for I know better by that the kind of person you are. For you show me what your idea of humanity is.

it becoming a tremendous - basically - a family at the end that none of us wanted to leave. Shane West I'm also involved in the rights of the disabled and do some fundraising for that and I thought it would have been a big boost for the campaign but it couldn't be worked out. David Prowse I had a hard time publishing my books in the beginning of my career, because editors were afraid what people would think of THEM, personally, if their name was associated with me. Susie Bright So, you know, I always say that I'm a Mexican, but if I had to be a citizen of anywhere else, I'd be a citizen of Manhattan. I feel very much a New Yorker. Alma Guillermoprieto In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it. Marianne Williamson I know now that there is no one thing that is true - it is all true. Ernest Hemingway I'm a lousy reader. Broderick Crawford Well, real estate is...

they disagree with or feel threatened by. But it's the ideological framing of the debate that scares me. Barbara Kruger That is why, according to this newer psychology, Christianity has already fulfilled its biological mission, and it is impossible for the modern man to understand its original significance. Muhammad Iqbal The United States has some people in Europe with whom we disagree on this matter and a large number of people in Europe, including governments in Europe, with whom we agree. Douglas Feith If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Eliot Ness If only my folks had beaten me, I could have gotten some material about my miserable childhood. But as it is, I've had...

Friedrich August von Hayek We have a substantial number of countries that have pledged and provided all kinds of support for the United States in the event that war becomes necessary in Iraq. Douglas Feith The way we're going to win elections in this country is not to become Republican lite. The way we're going to win elections in this country is to stand up for what we believe in.

Robbie Williams The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility. John Lennon I have reached a place in my life where I need to sit down and say, 'Well, what do I do? What's best for me?' I need to look into options for the future. Michael Phelps To me, the 90's signaled the end of glam rock, the beginning of gangsta rap, and hopefully the beginning and end of boy bands. Shane West Books do furnish a room. Anthony Powell To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness. Oscar Wilde As a youngs...

great actor is one who deals with the period of unemployment as well as they deal with the period of employment. Claudia Black If you have abandoned one faith, do not abandon all faith. There is always an alternative to the faith we lose. Or is it the same faith under another mask? Graham Greene Business is a subset of the environment, not the other way around. You can't have a healthy economy, you can't have a healthy anything in a degraded environment. Peter Coyote People like Spencer Tracy held up because they had the background originally, but to this day they never have changed Mr. Gable's role, or most of them. Jackie Cooper I still think people do have racial hang-ups, but I think one of the reasons I can joke about it is people are shedding those racial hatreds. Dave Chappelle We must never throw away a bushel of truth because it happens to contain a few grains of chaff. Dean Stanley If we are to keep our democracy, there must be one commandment: ...

suspicious when I read about actors spending six months in a clinic, say, in order to play someone who is sick. John Hurt Most of the tasks we do are for humans.

Yukihiro Matsumoto But in fantasy, you can make a complete break, and you can put people in a situation where they are confronted with things that they would not confront in the real world.

John Keats Extremely strong, effective, tenacious, and powerful political networks can be built when you fight losing battles as well as when you win. Patricia Ireland Every city across the country that has successfully renewed and revitalized itself points to a robust education system a...

very hard to lose it. And the reason I did that is a British accent in America is a real status symbol. John Mahoney You need to eat normally and healthfully, and you need to exercise. I'm so passionate about this because I think people spend their lives not happy in their bodies. Courtney Thorne-Smith The key is to get to know people and trust them to be who they are. Instead, we trust people to be who we want them to be - and when they're not, we cry. David Duchovny I am doing my best to find it. I will find it before the public finds it. I will get out of it before it's too late. The reason I will do that is because that's what I'm paid to do.

Herman Kahn Besides a happy policy as to civil government, it is necessary to institute a system of law and jurisprudence founded in justice, equity, and public right. Ezra Stiles I'd love to be a saxophonist. I don't know why, but I pretend I'm the saxophonist when I listen to music. I have about as much chance playing the sax as I do learning how to fly.

of countries and development centres as well as powerful transnational companies. Tran Duc Luong My ideal relaxation is working on upholstry. I spend hours in junk shops buying furniture. I do all the upholstery work myself, and it's like therapy. Pamela Anderson It's also possible to have two third person singular points of view, as represented by two characters through whose eyes the story is told in alternating chapters, say. Arthur Herzog Infinitely more important than sharing one's material wealth is sharing the wealth of ourselves - our time and energy, our passion and commitment, and, above all, our love. William E.

Sue Kelly In those days I was terrible at athletics and never made a team, but quite easily led my class in academics. William Standish Knowles He fashioned hell for the inquisitive. Saint Augustine The people...

anyone. Writers, in my opinion, were god-like creatures, and to say I was striving to be a writer would be incredibly arrogant. Tim Cahill Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins. Jim Rohn To date, embryonic stem cell research has not produced a single medical treatment, where ethical, adult stem cell research has produced some 67 medical miracles. Mike Pence All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

you put us in a room with no one else for 15 minutes, we'd be at each other's throats. Alex Van Halen Schools and libraries are the twin cornerstones of a civilized society. Libraries are only good if people use them, like books only exist when someone reads them. Nicholas Meyer American-style iced tea is the perfect drink for a hot, sunny day. It's never really caught on in the UK, probably because the last time we had a hot, sunny day was back in 1957. Tom Holt But suppose God is black? What if we go to Heaven and we, all our lives, have treated the Negro as an inferior, and God is there, and we look up and He is not white? What then is our response? Robert Kennedy Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words, or in good order. Francis Bacon The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive. Robert A. Heinlein Men should stop treating feminists like lad...

most democratic of institutions because no one - but no one at all - can tell you what to read and when and how. Doris Lessing The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses. Malcolm X My parents kept the best aspects of the Asian culture, and they Americanized the family. My mother was a great example for me. She was a working mother with a good career. Andrea Jung I've been telling anybody who would listen that I wanted to do a series for the last 10 years. But I wouldn't do it if I was just another cop pushing bad guys up against the wall. William Petersen I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies. Pietro Aretino I always went to my sister, because she was older and had the care of me after my mother died. Lizzie Andrew Bord...

we do not have the right to try to eliminate those means by which man tries to cleanse himself of despair. Antonin Artaud The concept of the 'good ol' days' must be one of our society's biggest delusions, top reasons for depression, as well as most often used excuse for lack of success. Bo Bennett In creating the Harry Potter artwork, I try to bring a certain amount of realism and believability to the characters and setting, but still add an element of wonder and the unknown. Mary Grandpre Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing, only when everything is in place does the door open. Ludwig Wittgenstein I'm an artist who works with pictures and words. Sometimes that stuff ends up in different kinds of sites and contexts which determine what it means and looks like. Barbara Kruger I identify with women more than men. I guess I have a strong feminine side. Lenny Kravit...

generous, perhaps an immoderate passion for fame; a passion which is the instinct of all great souls. Edmund Burke Back in the Rat Pack days, we'd take Frank's plane and sit dead center, because of Nancy. We'd watch the Rat Pack in the center ring and you couldn't ask for a better thing. James Darren The important aspect as we look at this budget, and as we look at previous budgets, is the budget system - what I'm trying to get at is changing budgeting itself in Wisconsin. Scott McCallum The opportunities that Gorbachev created for international relations have also been missed, perhaps even lost - here, however, primarily because of the United States.

when today's kindergarten students graduate from high school in just 12 years.

Therefore, he needs to be approached not as an assembly of 'targets' to be destroyed one by one; but as a living, intelligent entity capable of acting and reacting.

believe that they have remote viewers working on where Osama Bin Laden is. I absolutely, 100%, convinced of that. Aaron Eckhart I don't want women and their families to be left out and left behind. We can fight for them. We will fight for them. They deserve better and I want to give them better. Barbara Mikulski I think when I began, I played distortion more than the guitar.
