Well, jazz is to me, a complete lifestyle. It's bigger than a word.

It's a much bigger force than just something that you can say. It's something that you have to feel. It's something that you have to live. Ray Brown Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat. Malcolm Forbes I'm an ocean, because I'm really deep. If you search deep enough you can find rare exotic treasures. Christina Aguilera Landscape is to American painting what sex and psychoanalysis are to the American novel. Robert Hughes Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad. Aaron Eckhart What politicians want to create is irreversible change because when you leave office someone changes it back again. Estelle Morris I eventually saw the satirical nature of caricaturing individuals. Jonathan Shapiro I got some new underwear the other day. Well, new to me. Emo Philips

There are numerous cases of that, where one of our writers discovers another

writer whom he likes, and we then take that book on. So it's a very close relationship. We can do that because we're so small. James Laughlin The love which moves the world, according to common Christian belief, is God's love and the love of God. Mortimer Adler Although I like the work I've done in the past, I like what I'm writing now even more. Cynthia Weil And malt does more than Milton can to justify God's ways to man. A. E. Housman I know whenever it comes to be really dysfunctional and vile and base and hostile on screen, I'm good at that! Werner Herzog Make a Goal Box, a chart of positive daily contact with a family when you are working with them. Richard G. Scott Vice: Whatever was passion in the contemplation of man, being brought forth by his will into action. James Harrington I'm the youngest of six children; both of my sisters are housewives and they each have four kids. Roma Downey

Mankind are divided into sects, and individuals think very differently on religious subjects,

from the purest motives; and that gracious common Parent, who loves all his children alike, beholds with approbation every one who worships him in sincerity. Joseph Lancaster You can do more, you can always do more. Dan Marino I think we must quote whenever we feel that the allusion is interesting or helpful or amusing. Clifton Fadiman I never dreamed I would one day work at it White House. Karen Hughes Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism. Vladimir Lenin I've never stopped learning. Mick Taylor Every season has its peaks and valleys. What you have to try to do is eliminate the Grand Canyon. Andy Van Slyke I feel strikingly domestic. We're in our own world with two busses and trucks. John Mayer

It certainly is the duty of every true Christian, to esteem himself a

stranger and pilgrim in this world; and as bound to use earthly blessings, not as means of satisfying lust or gratifying wantonness, but of supplying his absolute wants and necessities. Johann Arndt We have to protect all journalists, and journalists have to be allowed to do their jobs. Amy Goodman In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power. Marcus Tullius Cicero I don't want the giant ego. I don't want to become Kevin Costner, singing on the soundtrack to The Postman. Joss Whedon Know that you are your greatest enemy, but also your greatest friend. Jeremy Taylor Visions of glory, spare my aching sight. Thomas Gray To tell the truth, I don't read children's books. I'm an adult. I just write them. William Steig Nobody ever grew despondent looking for trouble. Kin Hubbard

I can assume that the younger generations will no longer know what vinyl

was. Maybe some kids will take their CD back to the shop, telling the shop owner they have a faulty disc and if they could please get a new one. Mike Rutherford When you've heard one bagpipe tune, you've heard them both. Jack Finney I honestly can't characterize my style in words. It seems that whatever comes to me naturally, I play. Coleman Hawkins I've spent my life pursing excellence as an artist, which is what I always wanted to do anyhow. Claire Bloom Knowledge without education is but armed injustice. Horace I can't think of any relatives that ever went into science. William Standish Knowles What I do not want to write is didactic political tracts. Joan D. Vinge The thing I'm having a hard time with are the Christians who will stab you in the back in a wink. Reggie White

The Arab-Israeli conflict is also in many ways a conflict about status: it's

a war between two peoples who feel deeply humiliated by the other, who want the other to respect them. Battles over status can be even more intractable than those over land or water or oil. Alain de Botton Anabolic steroids were not banned until after the 72 Olympics. Bill Toomey When a doctor does go wrong he is the first of criminals. He has nerve and he has knowledge. Arthur Conan Doyle From heresy, frenzy and jealousy, good Lord deliver me. Ludovico Ariosto For me, the backdrop of half the experiences of life includes music. Amy Grant The last thing one discovers in composing a work is what to put first. T. S. Eliot Untapped potential is the difference between where a person is now and where he or she can be. Bo Bennett If your morals make you dreary, depend on it, they are wrong. Robert Louis Stevenson

Music has brought me some of the highest moments of my life. I

don't even hear the music. I don't even hear the notes. I'm not aware that someone has turned on a tape machine - I'm in another world. Jane Seymour For better or worse, I've been involved in the description of political conflict. John le Carre I wanted to make a classical piece that was actually designed to be a CD, not designed for performance. Anne Dudley Childhood is a promise that is never kept. Ken Hill What did Christ really do? He hung out with hard-drinking fishermen. Iggy Pop Man is a noble animal, splendid in ashes, and pompous in the grave. Thomas Browne Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin. Dwight D. Eisenhower We're not nearly as violent as the westerns. Moe Howard

It puts the provider in a situation of looking for ways to have

someone else pick up a piece of the cost. As a result, every customer who has insurance ends up paying a 'hidden premium.' It simply adds to the health care cost burden. Dave Obey The apostolic writings are of three kinds: historical, didactic, and prophetic. Philip Schaff We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves. Paul Gauguin Of course, DeMille never did anything on a small scale. Clint Walker I feel greatly honored to have a ballpark named after me, especially since I've been thrown out of so many. Casey Stengel Nobody ever won a pennant without a star shortstop. Leo Durocher The United States is a beautiful place, you know? Billy Higgins Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. Rabindranath Tagore

I have been using delay and reverberation since the middle 1960s. I use

them to make what is almost inaudible to the ear, audible. I do not use them to play loudly but to make the higher harmonics heard. Bill Dixon I'm a pretty happy camper. Look a little more like Paul Newman, maybe. Haha. John Warnock Baldwin thought Europe was a bore, and Chamberlain thought it was only a greater Birmingham. Winston Churchill Is the New York Times a Liberal Newspaper? Of course it is. Daniel Okrent I don't think when I make love. Brigitte Bardot Rome had Senators too, that's why it declined. Frank Dane Anyone of my generation who tells you he hasn't 'done Brando' is lying. James Caan I'm shorter, I don't have as many freckles as Ron, and I can't do magic. Rupert Grint

The decadent international but individualistic capitalism in the hands of which we found

ourselves after the war is not a success. It is not intelligent. It is not beautiful. It is not just. It is not virtuous. And it doesn't deliver the goods. John Maynard Keynes When I was young, I would go to the races and it was an unbelievable feeling when you'd watch them race. Mats Sundin Well, that's what it was bloody well designed to do, wasn't it? Frank Whittle I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate. Arthur Wing Pinero Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man. Ronald Reagan Every individual decision is nothing but coincidence, every artistic decision is coincidence. Alva Noto Breakfast is a notoriously difficult meal to serve with a flourish. Clement Freud The world can forgive practically anything except people who mind their own business. Margaret Mitchell

I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that

are strong women. It's like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are also very feminine. Angelina Jolie Husbands are like fires - they go out when they're left unattended. Cher A library book, I imagine, is a happy book. Cornelia Funke Power is the by-product of understanding. Jacob Bronowski Tears may be dried up, but the heart - never. Margaret of Valois People will judge you according to your own convictions. Dexter Scott King I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians. Pauline Hanson The President of the United States thinks that for the Japanese opium is more dangerous than war. Townsend Harris

I think people should have the legal right to hurt themselves without fearing

that they're going to get locked up for doing so. But on a personal level, if someone I loved was hurting himself or herself in front of me, I would, of course, try to restrain them. Chester Brown The awareness of our environment came progressively in all countries with different outlets. Jacques Yves Cousteau Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom. Francis Bacon Always wanted to be an actress or work with animals and now I get to do both. Julia Barr I rather like getting away from fiction. Penelope Lively Becoming an actor? If it's not a calling, don't do it. It's too hard. Sandra Oh Life is not accountable to us. We are accountable to life. Denis Waitley The Internet offers authors and their readers a new diversity of opportunities and freedom. Frederick Forsyth

How many Catholic schools do you think teach the students to question the

authority of the Pope? Do you believe Christian schools teach students to question or challenge the authority of Jesus Christ? Do military schools teach the cadets to challenge the authority. Neal Boortz I'd just as soon stay home and raise babies. June Allyson Relatives cannot help you in the studios. You stand or fall by your own efforts. Glynis Johns A catcher and his body are like the outlaw and his horse. He's got to ride that nag till it drops. Johnny Bench I just want to thank everyone who made this day necessary. Yogi Berra I just want to keep creating stuff, work regularly and learn how to use a computer properly. Paul Putner Men might as well be imprisoned, as excluded from the means of earning their bread. John Stuart Mill This is why I belong, and why I believe. I commend to all this same search for happiness and for the truth. Clayton Christensen

Every genuine boy is a rebel and an anarch. If he were allowed

to develop according to his own instincts, his own inclinations, society would undergo such a radical transformation as to make the adult revolutionary cower and cringe. John Holmes I am what I am and I'm a horrible liar. I can't do it. I'm just very candid. Pamela Anderson The supernatural is the natural not yet understood. Elbert Hubbard The beginning of a plot is the prompting of desire. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt Expansion means complexity and complexity decay. C.

and the advantages of education given them, the coming years will be as bright and prosperous to the unfortunate race as the past has been dark and painful. Nelson A. Miles By the work one knows the workman. Jean de La Fontaine I started out with nothing. I still have most of it. Michael Davis If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it. Toni Morrison The only thing that exists is torment, lyricism, and the magnificence of language. John C. Hawkes Silent gratitude isn't very much to anyone.

Joseph Wood Krutch Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts. Paramahansa Yogananda

Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without

religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. George Washington No author ever drew a character consistent to human nature, but he was forced to ascribe to it many inconsistencies. Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for. Tom Robbins Trusting our intuition often saves us from disaster. Anne Wilson Schaef It is a bad plan that admits of no modification. Publilius Syrus There is a soul of truth in error; there is a soul of good in evil. Richard Whately The only people I have seen who have been truly pushing for the truth are the family members. Sibel Edmonds Now comes the reign of iron. John Ericsson

It is not funny that anything else should fall down; only that a

man should fall down. Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely religious matter: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified. Gilbert K. Chesterton It is the sign of a great mind to dislike greatness, and to prefer things in measure to things in excess. Lucius Annaeus Seneca The way the tour has developed has been as good an example of that as you would like to see. David Gower One must know combinations, one must have a true knowledge of food to be in the moment. Charlie Trotter A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past. Fidel Castro A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind. Eugene Ionesco I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me. Ziyi Zhang Everyone else trains just as hard as well and that there really is no such a thing as overnight success. Julie Benz

You can't do things for money. You just can't act them. There's gotta

be something about the script that you really want to do. I wouldn't do a job if I didn't think I could do the best work I possibly could. Tom Wilkinson For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth. Bo Bennett Love makes the time pass. Time makes love pass. Euripides Never forget me, because if I thought you would, I'd never leave. A. A. Milne Oh, the summer night, Has a smile of light, And she sits on a sapphire throne. Bryan Procter Every generation needs a new revolution. Jeff Rich The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it's too late. Seymour Cray That which is not, shall never be; that which is, shall never cease to be. To the wise, these truths are self-evident. William Hazlitt

Some people had fathers who were bankers or farmers, my father made films,

that's how I saw it. As for the movie stars, they were just around, some of them were friends, others weren't, it was all just a part of my everyday life.

Eisenhower An idea is salvation by imagination. Frank Lloyd Wright

Roberto Rossellini To give up the task of reforming society is to give up one's responsibility as a free man. Alan Paton

I conceived of an instrument that would create sound without using any mechanical

energy, like the conductor of an orchestra. The orchestra plays mechanically, using mechanical energy; the conductor just moves his hands, and his movements have an effect on the music artistry. Leon Theremin Choose your companions from the best; Who draws a bucket with the rest soon topples down the hill. William Butler Yeats I'm a giraffe. I even walk like a giraffe with a long neck and legs. It's a pretty dumb animal, mind you.

Jack Osbourne It's not the style that motivates me, as much as an attitude of openness that I have when I go into a project.

Mencken Some people use one half their ingenuity to get into debt, and the other half to avoid paying it. George Dennison Prentice Sympathy is two hearts tugging at one load. Charles Henry Parkhurst

All the Disney lead male characters always have this kind of John Davidson

I think Bush has a very selfish, arrogant point of view. I think

That's the thing. in medicine, you're used to saying there's a problem within

with some of the greatest blues people who've ever lived, but to learn how they played, how they sang, how they lived their lives, ran their marriages, and talked to their kids.
