Richard Armour I thought Star Wars was too wacky for the general public. George Lucas We may be coming to a new golden age of instrument making. Yo-Yo Ma

Janet Frame We must do everything we can to be more aggressive in confronting Syria about what they are doing in Iraq. Sam Brownback I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.

When it comes down to it, at the end of the day, I need more

out of my life and I need to push myself harder. And if at the end of the day I don't have it, then I don't have it, but at least I'm going to put myself out there. If I fail, I'm going to fail terrifically. Ali Larter Moral values, and a culture and a religion, maintaining these values are far better than laws and regulations.

I started off in England and very few people knew I was Australian. I mean,

the clues were in the poems, but they didn't read them very carefully, and so for years and years I was considered completely part of the English poetry scene.

Somerset Maugham If thou art master to thyself, circumstances shall harm thee little. Martin Farquhar Tupper Poverty can teach lessons that privilege cannot.

I was a guy who needed to go to class, because I had some raw

Modernity is the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent, which make up one half of art,

the other being the eternal and the immutable. This transitory fugitive element, which is constantly changing, must not be despised or neglected. Charles Baudelaire It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value. Stephen Hawking Did you see the statue topple?

Can't you hear it in my voice? Muddy Waters Time is the fire in which we burn. Gene Roddenberry

The structural thinking I use in the concert hall is unnecessary to most film projects,

and most film composers make better use of the enormous range of pop and other materials and techniques required of them than I probably would, faced with the same challenge. John Corigliano Come here immediately and see if you can find the murderer of the President. Edwin M. Stanton But while I loved all of these courses, there was an irresistible attraction of economics.

of the Cuban Revolution, if you think that Fidel has now been in power for 44 extremely long years. I started looking at the revolution as history, and not as part of the daily news.

William Law How many famous and high-spirited heroes have lived a day too long? Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Aeschylus True courage is like a kite; a contrary wind raises it higher. John Petit-Senn This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections. Saint Augustine

Abraham Maslow Growth is a painful process. Wilma Mankiller Necessity has the face of a dog. Gabriel Garcia Marquez

There's a real purity in New Zealand that doesn't exist in the states. It's actually

not an easy thing to find in our world anymore. It's a unique place because it is so far away from the rest of the world. There is a sense of isolation and also being protected. Elijah Wood If Japan had been near to either England or France, war would have broken out long ago. Townsend Harris If you're feeling pressure, then you shouldn't be here.

William Hazlitt Don't make excuses and Don't talk about it. Do it. Melvyn Douglas

I'm somewhat horrified because I don't think the young people today even know what history

is. Some of them don't' even study History at school anymore or Geography and they don't know where one place is from another.

Liberty Hyde Bailey I'm not interested in having an orchestra sound like itself. I want it to sound like the composer. Leonard Bernstein Design is everything. Everything! Paul Rand

A lot of life is dealing with your curse, dealing with the cards you were

between their own culture and the dominant culture. When you understand another culture or language, it does not mean that you have to lose your own culture. Edward T. Hall A character I would love to play is Iago, from Othello. Tim Roth Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men. Harry Day Never go for the punch line. There might be something funnier on the way. Jerry Stiller Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way. Suzanne Vega Read not Milton, for he is dry; nor Shakespeare, for he wrote of common life. Charles Stuart Calverley It is bad for a young man to sin; but it is worse for an old man to sin. Abu Bakr

If we're picking people to draw out of their own conscience and experience a 'new'

Constitution, we should not look principally for good lawyers. We should look to people who agree with us. When we are in that mode, you realize we have rendered the Constitution useless.

common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

Brigitte Bardot Iraqis have held elections and have recently put together their government, all encouraging developments. James A. Leach It is always good men who do the most harm in the world.

people are not buying products and services. Why are people not buying products and services? Because they have no money. Why do people have no money? Because they are unemployed.

Duane G. Carey There are no countries in the world less known by the British than those selfsame British Islands. George Borrow

Nature, more of a stepmother than a mother in several ways, has sown a seed

of evil in the hearts of mortals, especially in the more thoughtful men, which makes them dissatisfied with their own lot and envious of another's.

From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I
