Once I was checking to hotel and a couple saw my ring with Blues on

it. They said, 'You play blues. That music is so sad.' I gave them tickets to the show, and they came up afterwards and said, 'You didn't play one sad song.' Buddy Guy It is necessary to work, if not from inclination, at least from despair. Everything considered, work is less boring than amusing oneself. Charles Baudelaire I have some friends, some honest friends, and honest friends are few; My pipe of briar, my open fire, A book that's not too new. Robert W. Service I say to you that the price of liberty is and always has been blood, human blood, and if our liberties are lost, we shall never regain them except at the price of blood. They must not be lost. J. Reuben Clark I guess we'd be living in a boring, perfect world if everybody wished everybody else well. Jennifer Aniston

Well, your premise is correct, that we have to first guard against those who have

an affiliation with terrorists and a connection, and so we have watch lists and systems that can make that connection. Asa Hutchinson I don't think they knew exactly where they were going with the character, but they lay those stories out ahead of time, so they had some idea where they wanted it to go. David Selby Confess your sins to the Lord and you will be forgiven; confess them to man and you will be laughed at. Josh Billings Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human. Viktor E. Frankl I can honestly say this industry hasn't made me neurotic about my looks, except maybe my weight. I hope my clothes kind of reflect that. They're meant to make you feel good. Stella McCartney

Each day a few more lies eat into the seed with which we are born,

little institutional lies from the print of newspapers, the shock waves of television, and the sentimental cheats of the movie screen. Norman Mailer Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe. Saint Augustine Information can bring you choices and choices bring power - educate yourself about your options and choices. Never remain in the dark of ignorance. Joy Page A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion. Grantland Rice You're asking the wrong girl about fame. I'm hardly famous. I wouldn't want to trade places with anyone else. Nikki Cox

You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when its right it's the best

thing in the world. When you're in a relationship and its good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete. Keith Sweat Controversy is only dreaded by the advocates of error. Benjamin Rush I came back to performing with a different attitude about performing and myself. I wasn't expecting perfection any more, just hoping for an occasional inspiration. Neil Diamond Fear tastes like a rusty knife and do not let her into your house. John Cheever Naturally, love's the most distant possibility. Georges Bataille

It is energy - the central element of which is will - that produces the

miracle that is enthusiasm in all ages. Everywhere it is what is called force of character and the sustaining power of all great action. Samuel Smiles I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being 'someone's girlfriend', and now I am happy being single. Penelope Cruz In early 1993, a hostile observer might have had grounds for thinking that the Unix story was almost played out, and with it the fortunes of the hacker tribe. Eric S. Raymond All we ask is that we have peace with the whites. We want to hold you by the hand. You are our father. Black Kettle Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children, and no theories. John Wilmot

There are some images that I will only use once, and not use again because

they don't seem to really hit the nail right on the head, but there are some which are so strong they have to be reduced; sometimes just reusing them makes them stronger. Keith Haring Music is there to access those dark emotional corners that we don't normally get too close to. Lesley Garrett Every horse thinks its own pack heaviest. Thomas Fuller When I have fully decided that a result is worth getting I go ahead of it and make trial after trial until it comes. Thomas A. Edison Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again. Grover Cleveland

The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the

street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message. Pope John Paul II When I was as you are now, towering in the confidence of twenty-one, little did I suspect that I should be at forty-nine, what I now am. Sarah Orne Jewett That's what Hubble can do for us. It can tell us whether the universe is expanding forever or if one day it's going to come back together. Duane G. Carey The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other, whom he assumes to have perfect vision. Henry Kissinger People are intimidated in court, and I try to make them more comfortable. Harold H. Greene

Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very';

otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. C. S. Lewis Bring in the bottled lightning, a clean tumbler, and a corkscrew. Charles Dickens Most Americans think Abner Doubleday invented the game but he had little or nothing to do with cricket. Henry Chadwick The satirical direction I have chosen is an indication of my disappointment in man, which is the opposite way of saying that I have high expectations for the human race. Jack Levine To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are. Eric Hoffer

People that are 40, they don't sit around at talk about gray hair and how

it covers their hair. They talk about highlighting, of course they're covering gray, but they don't talk about it that way. They're going to get their colors because they need a little lightening. Andie MacDowell The whole basis of the United Nations is the right of all nations - great or small - to have weight, to have a vote, to be attended to, to be a part of the twentieth century. Adlai E. Stevenson Where do you find the strength to brave a barrage of enemy fire and to bring your wounded friends to safety at great risk to your own life? Conviction. Guy Verhofstadt I'm not a big one for lots of genitals flapping in the films. Campbell Scott Linda Hamilton is my hero. She was so tough and so strong and so vulnerable at the same time. I think that's what woman action figures are allowed to be: vulnerable, in a way that women are. Victoria Pratt

Ever since I came to Congress in 1992, there are those who have been trying

to silence my voice. I've been told to 'sit down and shut up' over and over again. Well, I won't sit down and I won't shut up until the full and unvarnished truth is placed before the American people. Cynthia McKinney I'm as much influenced by Joseph Smith and the Mormons as I am, more so, than by Eliot. Actually, I'm much more influenced by the poetry of the Mormons. Marguerite Young It is claimed, but with what truth we cannot say, that there is a well-defined propaganda among the aliens of colour to bring about the degeneration of the white race. Emily Murphy Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding. Kenneth Tynan War paralyzes your courage and deadens the spirit of true manhood. Alexander Berkman

It is work, work that one delights in, that is the surest guarantor of happiness.

But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one's earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison. Ashley Montagu 'Tis the voice of the sluggard; I heard him complain, you have waked me too soon, I must slumber again. Isaac Watts I opened the door for a lot of people, and they just ran through and left me holding the knob. Bo Diddley Women are made to be loved, not understood. Oscar Wilde Once a profound truth has been seen, it cannot be 'unseen'. There's no 'going back' to the person you were. Even if such a possibility did exist... why would you want to? Dave Sim

Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage

of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors. Abraham Lincoln Once we have a war there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war. Ernest Hemingway Where liberty dies, evil grows. Hamid Karzai Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas. George Eliot My music is my way to rearrange the world according to my own hopes. Stephan Jenkins

China's cinema has been rising for some time; it has more exposure, so my chances

of becoming internationally known are better. But the first thing I have to do is learn English. If I can grasp the language, then perhaps I can think about the U.S. Ziyi Zhang In our day the conventional element in literature is elaborately disguised by a law of copyright pretending that every work of art is an invention distinctive enough to be patented. Northrop Frye Fun I love, but too much fun is of all things the most loathsome. Mirth is better than fun, and happiness is better than mirth. William Blake Predators make it much more difficult to find consensus. It's a lot easier to agree about birds and plants than about animals that endanger people and livestock. Gale Norton You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well. Lewis B. Smedes

Yes, prudently invested contributions to the Social Security fund may bring greater dividends, but those

contributions would also face a greater risk. It would be like gambling. We should not gamble with the investments and the future of the citizens of this land. Daniel Inouye The only time I would like to see was the 20s and 30s in America because I love the music and the style and the optimism, I wanted to see New York being built. I wanted to see all that, you know. Billy Connolly Good fame is like fire; when you have kindled you may easily preserve it; but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again. Francis Bacon I do find my speech difficult at times, but it's getting so much better as my confidence grows and that's thanks to the position I'm now in, which is totally due to my fans. Gareth Gates It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them. Mark Twain

After one hundred years of federal rule, the United States House of Representatives has moved

to provide for the first meaningful route to self-determination for the Puerto Rican people under our federal system. Dick Thornburgh If I asked for a cup of coffee, someone would search for the double meaning. Mae West I am sure Mr Heath thinks he is honest but I wish he didn't have to have his friends say it so often. Roy Jenkins I have never been sexually aroused by a man. But I have yet to kiss Johnny Depp, so you never know. Dave Navarro Probably, no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both. Abraham Flexner

And for myself, I think for the present He is calling me to another land;

but how long shall be my abode, or what employment He has for me there, I know not, for I cannot think He is taking me there to live and lurk only. Donald Cargill The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time. Arthur Schopenhauer While President Bush's tax give-aways for the rich are pushing us further into debt, he compensates by increasing the out-of-pocket costs to our veterans. Tom Harkin Training has been such a huge part of my life and career I hope to keep going with it. David Prowse To spell out the obvious is often to call it in question. Eric Hoffer

Another example of the educational inequality is the current debate over publicly financed school vouchers

which will provide educational opportunities to a privileged handful, but deprive public schools of desperately needed resources. Bobby Scott Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory. George S. Patton A man needs to look, not down, but up to standards set so much above his ordinary self as to make him feel that he is himself spiritually the underdog. Irving Babbitt It is only an auctioneer who can equally and impartially admire all schools of art. Oscar Wilde Touch but a cobweb in Westminster Hall, and the old spider of the law is out upon you with all his vermin at his heels. Henry Fox

Soaring prescription drug costs have placed a tremendous strain on family budgets. They have also

imposed a heavy burden on employers - both public and private - who are struggling to provide affordable health insurance coverage to their workers. Susan Collins My parents discussed singing every night over the dinner table; I had a tremendous music education. Renee Fleming As I grow to understand life less and less I grow to love it more and more. Jules Renard You have to be smart to play a dumb blonde over and over again and keep the audience's attention without extraordinary physical equipment. Judy Holliday In America you can say anything you want - as long as it doesn't have any effect. Paul Goodman

I actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of

your life to be in one meeting when you're trying to make money, and then go to another meeting where you're giving it away. I mean is it gonna erode your ability, you know, to make money? Are you gonna somehow get confused about what you're trying to do? Bill Gates I have to remind myself not to set boundaries. Richard Thompson My bed is actually two king beds put together. Cindy Margolis Two years work wasted, I have been breeding those flies for all that time and I've got nothing out of it. Thomas Hunt Morgan If you're a good numbers person, you're a bad language person. Frank Luntz

During my six years with them Dr Garnet Davey (subsequently Research Director) constantly supported me

and, I have no doubt, fought many battles on my behalf to keep the initially controversial programme going. James W. Black Individuals and nations owe it to themselves and the world to become informed. Paul Harris When I graduated from Santa Monica High in 1927, I was voted the girl most likely to succeed. I didn't realize it would take so long. Gloria Stuart In this atmosphere I soon became interested in nucleic acids. Frederick Sanger I was a sickly child, contracting tuberculosis at the age of five. Dinah Sheridan

For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of

death (or of anything else) as natural, death is the obscene mystery, the ultimate affront, the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied. Susan Sontag Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things. Rem Koolhaas Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage. Jean Anouilh I love extreme sports, I like snowboarding and motorcross and rollerblading and hockey. Jeremy London For they conquer who believe they can. John Dryden

The weird thing about this business - and I'm sure this operates in many other

things, but it's very present and acute in this business - is that a lot of people don't realize that they have power. Particularly actors. Lili Taylor Either war is obsolete, or men are. R. Buckminster Fuller Think of the magic of that foot, comparatively small, upon which your whole weight rests. It's a miracle, and the dance is a celebration of that miracle. Martha Graham I like school very much, and I'll go to college if my career slows down. But kids go to college to be where I am today. Not to put college down, but for me, it would be digressing. Dana Hill I never thought I would be singing for the world. Patti LaBelle

Barbra Streisand is without a doubt one of the most honest people I have ever

known. There is no doubt in my mind that she will not be doing any more concerts. Of course, she still will be making records and starring and directing in movies. Marvin Hamlisch What you really want for yourself is always trying to break through, just as a cooling breeze flows through an open window on a hot day. Your part is to open the windows of your mind. Vernon Howard I think it magnified it. For me, I wasn't sheltered so I think it was magnified. Especially when you're a teenager and you go to high school and you're in the business and you are known. Heather Matarazzo The difference between stupid and intelligent people - and this is true whether or not they are well-educated - is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. Neal Stephenson One thing that's coming up a lot is: are you as grumpy as you appear from this Black Books thing. Dylan Moran

For my part, I make this pledge to all of you: The politics of division,

of pitting east against west, urban versus rural, region against region, and people against people will have no place in my Administration. Ed Rendell Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live. John Dewey Grace is everywhere as an active orientation of all created reality toward God. Karl Rahner Practice yourself, for heaven's sake in little things, and then proceed to greater. Epictetus A decent boldness ever meets with friends. Homer

The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system

that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds. William James In Connecticut, my understanding, although I haven't seen the actual litigation, is that they want to measure every other year and not provide annual assessment as is required in the statute. Margaret Spellings I'm a very restless person. I'm always doing something. The creative process never stops. Oscar de la Renta I like women who look like women. I hated grunge. No one's more feminist than me, but you don't have to look as if you don't give a - you know. You can be smart, bright, and attractive aesthetically to others - and to yourself. Catherine Zeta-Jones While fools shun one set of faults they run into the opposite one. Horace

NATO believes it can pick on a small nation and force us to surrender our

independence. And that is where NATO miscalculated. You are not willing to sacrifice lives to achieve our surrender. But we are willing to die to defend our rights as an independent sovereign nation. Slobodan Milosevic The bad fortune of the good turns their faces up to heaven; the good fortune of the bad bows their heads down to the earth. Lucius Annaeus Seneca I've always wanted to be my own person and stand by the things I believe in and I thought I might lose that independence if I ran for political office. Samuel Dash Do you think that when they asked George Washington for ID that he just whipped out a quarter? Steven Wright Genius not only diagnoses the situation but supplies the answers. Robert Graves

To get a name can happen but to few; it is one of the few

things that cannot be brought. It is the free gift of mankind, which must be deserved before it will be granted, and is at last unwillingly bestowed. Samuel Johnson Well, the big elephant in the whole system is the baby boomer generation that marches through like a herd of elephants. And we begin to retire in 2008. Lindsey Graham I first began to read religious books at school, and especially the Bible, when I was eleven years old; and almost immediately commenced a habit of secret prayer. Francis W. Newman I like to have a thing suggested rather than told in full. When every detail is given, the mind rests satisfied, and the imagination loses the desire to use its own wings. Thomas Bailey Aldrich Imagination is but another name for super intelligence. Edgar Rice Burroughs

It was just really, really tough getting anything when you were a female. Basically, I

just took advantage of everything I could. But when people are going to flat out tell you they're not going to hire anyone that's female, there's not much you can do about it. Shannon Lucid If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees. Hal Borland There is no slavery but ignorance. Robert Green Ingersoll If you make the unconditional commitment to reach your most important goals, if the strength of your decision is sufficient, you will find the way and the power to achieve your goals. Robert Conklin I feel a sense of sadness and joy. Mostly sadness though about what I've experienced and sadness about what others have experienced in reference to the stroke. Luther Vandross

The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have done

and what we might have been on the one hand, and the thing we have made and the things we have made of ourselves on the other. H. G. Wells When I was about, I'd say, 18 or 19 years old, I wanted to be a part of the CIA just because they know those intimate secrets... So I was just always into knowing. I like to know things. Michelle Rodriguez The quality of life is so different in France. There is the possibility of living a simple life. I would never contemplate raising my daughter in LA. I would never raise any child there. Johnny Depp We've got to ensure that the quality and the capability of these forces will be good enough to withstand the challenges that the insurgents and the terrorists will present to the new Iraqi government. John Abizaid I may err in judgment, but I hope not in intention. Edward Blake

Eloquence, at its highest pitch, leaves little room for reason

or reflection, but addresses itself entirely to the desires and affections, captivating the willing hearers, and subduing their understanding. David Hume I feel like everything has happened naturally. Ryan Gosling Natural abilities are like natural plants; they need pruning by study. Red Auerbach I know there are things I did in education that will never be reversed. I have not done that in film yet because I have only been here for about nine months. Estelle Morris IF is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, IF is F1 spelled backwards. Murray Walker

If you... scaled down human beings, scaled down society, if you land with a group

of little boys, they are more like a scaled-down version of society than a group of little girls would be. William Golding I've been performing since I was a child; my mother would have to pull me aside and tell me that I wasn't onstage. I was a cheerleader, president of choir, and in the school play. Aja Naomi King I am a very strong supporter of our government's view that it is important to engage with all countries around the world - very much including Russia. Chrystia Freeland I was wrapping up my stint on 'Daredevil' co-writing with Andy Diggle during the Shadowland story, when Marvel asked if I was interested in doing something else with DD but a bit different. When they explained the purpose of the 'Season One' books, I was intrigued - I'm a big advocate of books for people new to the medium - and said yes. Antony Johnston Spike Lee gave me the greatest reaction to the fact that I was this athlete-meets-artist, because I think he saw ...

We underestimate children and the people who work with them. I swear - so often, I tell

  people I am a children's author, and it's like they want to pat me on the head: 'Aw, isn't that sweet.' Kathi Appelt There is a disconnect in education and work. And corporates don't do a great job of skilling. In future, corporates and educational institutions will work closely. Shiv Nadar I played semi-professionally for a season, and there's an element of performance to being a footballer, stepping onto the pitch: you feel like a gladiator walking into a colosseum. Callum Turner We used to indulge hopelessly as a family at Christmas. When the children were little, I dressed up as Father Christmas. They knew it was a gag, but they loved it. I remember stealing into their bedrooms at 1 A.M. and filling the stockings up at the end of the bed. Richard Attenborough What we, as black people, need to do is we need to worry about our education. Charles Barkley I was never the person who came up with a boom somehow. I worked slowly and consistently, making my wa...

The casualties in the Civil War amount to more than all other wars - all

other American wars combined. More people died in that war than World War II, World War I, Vietnam, etc. And that was a war for white supremacy. It was a war to erect a state in which the basis of it was the enslavement of black people.Ta-Nehisi Coates It is the forces of the universe that make human beings fall ill. Having learnt to recognize how sun qualities and moon qualities live in plants, animals and minerals, we discover how we can find counterforces and also individual natural forces that point us towards medicines for specific internal illnesses.Rudolf Steiner Girls are socialised in ways that are harmful to their sense of self - to reduce themselves, to cater to the egos of men, to think of their bodies as repositories of shame. As adult women, many struggle to overcome, to unlearn, much of that social conditioning.Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 'They' are the people that don't believe in you, that say that you won't succeed. We stay away from 'They....

I have always maintained that it's not the quantity of work, but the quality that

should speak. I have maintained the same for my music albums, too. I have always released them after a gap of two to three years.Adnan Sami In all my days of schooling, from preschool all the way up to 12th grade, there was not one white person in my class. Literally zero.Kendrick Lamar The truth is that searching for our commonality instead of our differences could transform our dysfunctional politics.Raja Krishnamoorthi It came down to the AHCA or the continued disaster of Obamacare, which was an easy choice. The AHCA is a major improvement, because a federal one-size-fits-all approach to health care isn't the answer.Cathy McMorris Rodgers I'm really glad I had the chance to live in Jensen Beach and Stuart before everything exploded. I'm always going to be fond of that area. For me, it was a sleepy little fishing town, and it kind of represents what Florida was before the development explosion.Judge Reinhold Space is much stiffer than you imagine; it's ...

The genre has moved into this commercial aspect of itself, and ignored this extraordinarily rich

literature that's filed everywhere else except under travel. Robyn Davidson What the French want is coherence, stability and justice. If I am in a favorable position today, it's because my fellow citizens want to make the effort to straighten out the country, and at the same time they want it to be just and equitable. Francois Hollande When we shoot 24, there are so many things I have to worry about, from the script to technical things to my performance, that I don't have a second to be bored or take anything for granted. We produce 24 hours of film a season, which is like making 12 movies. Kiefer Sutherland It is what it is, and it ain't nothin' else... Everything is clearly, openly, plainly delivered. Dan Flavin Ever since I was a kid, whatever situation I was presented with, I always made the most of it. Daley Thompson The tongue may be employed about, and made to serve all the purposes of vice, in tempting and deceiving, in perjury and injustice. ...

The only way physical comedy works is if you don't see it coming. And the

harder the fall, the funnier it is. You have to really take some shots, and I've walked away with some bumps and bruises. Chris Pratt Passion is the thing that sustains you in acting. If you're doing it for fame and money, don't even bother because it will never happen. The last thing I ever expected was to be paid for this. Scott Patterson 'The Princess Bride' is by far the most popular film I've ever done. I don't think I'll ever top it. Wallace Shawn When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas. Norah Jones To me, religion is an agreement between a group of people about what God is. Spirituality is a one-on-one relationship. Steve Earle For me, you say the words 'concept record,' and the first thing I think of is theater or the opera or something. Chester Bennington Almost all our desires, when examined, contain something too shameful to reveal...

The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were

an atheist, and believed blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations. John Adams The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights. Giotto di Bondone I kind of have a rededication in my life now to acting because I'm very fond of being in this movie. Thomas Haden Church I've had this sneaking feeling throughout the game that it's there to be won. Ron Atkinson A friendship that like love is warm; A love like friendship, steady. Thomas Moore There is a condition worse than blindness, and that is, seeing something that isn't there. Thomas Hardy You don't realize how easy this game is until you get up in that broadcasting booth. Mickey Mantle

I try to surround myself with the people who genuinely believe in changing things, that are

  angry about it and want to make changes and want to make a change and are willing. Lauren Southern Each holiday season, as family members arrive and couches are unfolded, my household settles into a palpable nostalgia. Poorly designed photo albums are pulled from the shelves. Home videos of prepubescent siblings in matching pajamas dance across the television screen. Clint Smith I think movies are overdeveloped in Hollywood. There's a big benefit to not overdeveloping and not being so precious about what you're doing. I think you lose a kind of vitality if you develop something into the ground. Jason Blum I like mash-ups, taking contemporary songs and making them old... old songs, making them new. Bria Skonberg Living in L.A. keeps me in my car a lot, and I'm constantly flipping back and forth between the following Sirius/XM Radio stations: NFL Radio, MLB Radio, POTUS, MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News. R. J. Cutler We're part of creating this world in which we live, but we...

If I were in a situation where I had to meet a pack of wolves

and my family is with me, I'm going to be scared, but I'm not going to hide behind my son to protect me. They're going to hide behind me. Jon Seda You get inspiration from craziest places. It's just about being creative. You gotta step outside that box, you know what I'm saying, to reach the people. You never know who can feel it; who it can connect to. Nayvadius Cash The music that was popular in your youth seems to be the music you recall most vividly - and most nostalgically - for the rest of your life. But so is the music that was popular in your parents' youth. Robin Marantz Henig Directing non-actors is difficult. Directing actors in a foreign language is even more difficult. Directing non-actors in a language that you yourself don't understand is the craziest thing you can possibly think of. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu It's hard to get people at a record company to talk about music. They don't seem to want to talk about music, it...

I believe that the artist's involvement in the capitalist structure is disadvantageous to the artist

and forces him to produce objects in order to live. Sol LeWitt I think when tattoos are new and colorful, they look bad. But they look better the older and more bleached out they become. Urs Fischer That's a mistake I think that a lot of Western observers make is to assume that Korean nationalism is hundreds if not thousands of years old. When in fact nationalism is incompatible with Korean Confucian tradition. Brian Reynolds Myers Cameras in classrooms are no substitute for greater authority by parents and teachers. Paul Weyrich Infrastructure spending does not create immediate jobs, and more than half of those jobs will pull from the pool of the already employed. Mark McKinnon Watching previous figure skaters, I always wondered why they cried after their performance. Kim Yuna The sexes in each species of being... are always true equivalents - equals but not identical. Antoinette Brown Blackwell I just remember Stella Tenant and me dancing in Donatella Versace...
