of the gross world product is declining as Asian societies in particular develop economically. Samuel P. Huntington I never really thought about being an actress or being anything like that. I was always a bit scared as well because of the thing about models becoming an actress and all that. Gisele Bundchen Over a three year period, I gave away half of what I had. To be honest, my hands shook as I signed it away. I knew I was taking myself out of the race to be the richest man in the world. Ted Turner The best rules to form a young man, are, to talk little, to hear much, to reflect alone upon what has passed in company, to distrust one's own opinions, and value others that deserve it. William Temple Exclusively oral cultures are unencumbered by dead knowledge, dead facts. Libraries, on the other hand, are full of them. Huston Smith Let the grand errand into America never be forgotten. Ezra Stiles It is certainly safe, in view of the movement to the right of intell...

the dollar and go and get drunk with it and beat her afterwards. It was his dollar. Lucy Stone The way I see things, the way I see life, I see it as a struggle. And there's a great deal of reward I have gained coming to that understanding - that existence is a struggle. Harvey Keitel In horror movies today it's lots of fast cut shot and lots of loud noises on the soundtrack. I tried to do the opposite. Playing with silence for instance. Alejandro Amenabar When you are accompanied by the instrument - on an instrument like the lute-the lute and voice - you have this sound, and you feel how the music can be so touching and yet so simple. Cecilia Bartoli It is your work to clear away the mass of encumbering material of thoughts, so that you may bring into plain view the precious thing at the center of the mass. Robert Collier Train our children to love God. Daniel H. Hill Never question the relevance of truth, but always question the truth of relevance. Craig Bru...

a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within. Louise Berliawsky Nevelson I learned one thing in Watergate: I was well-intentioned but rationalized illegal behavior. You cannot live your life other than walking in the truth. Your means are as important as your ends. Charles Colson Ultimately I think what people care about, particularly on an issue like Social Security, is not really what's right and what's left but what's right and what's wrong. John Podesta Everyone realizes that one can believe little of what people say about each other. But it is not so widely realized that even less can one trust what people say about themselves. Rebecca West My kitchen linoleum is so black and shiny that I waltz while I wait for the kettle to boil. This pleasure is for the old who live alone. Florida Scott-Maxwell Instead of starting a new nuclear arms race, now is the time to reclaim our Nation's position of leadership on nuclear...

disorder are very relevant molecular properties also in other systems. Robert Huber When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him. Luigi Pirandello It is such a complex matter we live within, it is impossible to track logic and decision making really, so therefore each choice can actually only be seen as coincidence. Alva Noto Back in the thirties we were told we must collectivize the nation because the people were so poor. Now we are told we must collectivize the nation because the people are so rich. William F. Buckley, Jr. Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart. Marcus Aurelius No matter how carefully you plan your goals they will never be more than pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto. W. Clement Stone Nobody is going to be as bad for free ...

pluck meaning from the fog, and on short order, when the emotions are still ragged and raw and susceptible to leaps. Peggy Noonan I hope my work has inspired young artists. I have always tried to maintain my freedom as an artist and I feel it is one of the main reasons I have been successful. Frank Frazetta You know what? I'm really attracted to British women, there's something innately proper about them. However badly they behave their accent is so cute that it makes up for everything! Josh Hartnett I have devoted my energies to the study of the scriptures, observing monastic discipline, and singing the daily services in church; study, teaching, and writing have always been my delight. Venerable Bede We are all members of a single humanity, inside our hearts we all speak the same language, we all love our children and our parents, we all live in the same world. Marc Forne Molne Behind every argument is someone's ignorance. Louis D. Brandeis Eternity is no...

to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes. Denis Waitley I liked discussion and debate and thought that these skills fit well with law. I also had an interest in justice - and later learned that sometimes law and justice actually agree! Harold H. Greene Just as he who gives his life to serve a great idea is admirable, he who avails himself of a great idea to serve his personal hopes of glory and power is abominable, even if he too risks his life. Jose Marti A lot of people thought I wasn't doing anything because I was spending a lot of time socialising and going out, but I've always managed to get work actually done. Damien Hirst If you want to really know what your friends and family think of you die broke, and then see who shows up for the funeral. Gregory Nunn It is a lot cheaper to spend eight hours in a rehearsal hall than in a recording studio. Jim Messina Law-abiding citizens value privacy. Te...

in the Pentateuch. I know of no other books that so fully teach the subjection and degradation of woman. Elizabeth Cady Stanton It's silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home by Christmas. Ronald Reagan Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for. Ambrose Bierce Parents are usually more careful to bestow knowledge on their children rather than virtue, the art of speaking well rather than doing well; but their manners should be of the greatest concern. R. Buckminster Fuller I don't care a straw for your newspaper articles, my constituents don't know how to read, but they can't help seeing them damned pictures. Boss Tweed My sense of divine brings with it a strange sound of music with its glories, a marvellous melody soun...

our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being. Lyndon B. Johnson Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. Joseph Campbell So, without being cold, you really have to try to retain the capacity to help people without becoming too emotional or allowing your own emotions to have full rein. Guy Green I like what I hear as a resulting combination of these two strands... something of a combination of familiarity and, for lack of a better word, strangeness. Alex North If you can prove to me that one miracle took place, I will believe he is a just God who damned us all because a woman ate an apple. Edward Fitzgerald No amount of charters, direct primaries, or short ballots will make a democracy out of an illiterate people. Walter Lippmann And when I play they know I exist, and it leaves a sp...

another self as valid he has little basis for validating his own self. Edward T. Hall Every band had their own distinctive sound, but it was pretty much dancing music and rhythmic music with a tremendous emphasis on copying the Cuban models. Ruben Blades We have said that Israel has had a very bad history with the United Nations, and whoever cares for himself in Israel distances himself from that Organization. Yitzhak Shamir I have to experiment with methods and I'm trying to find an authentic way of making an equivalent of the living, breathing person within the limits of a single picture. Peter Wright Whoever said love is blind is dead wrong. Love is the only thing that lets us see each other with the remotest accuracy. Martha Beck I have yet to see one completely unspoiled star, except for the animals - like Lassie. Edith Head The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different. Peter Drucker Farming with live animals is a 7 day a week, lega...

my frame of reference. That doesn't mean I see the individual, unfortunately. John Edward If I had money, I would like to get an old building, have music performances, do lithographs, have shows of paintings, and do those things that I'm interested in doing. Bill Dixon The more I see of democracy the more I dislike it. It just brings everything down to the mere vulgar level of wages and prices, electric light and water closets, and nothing else. D. H. Lawrence My research interests since then have shifted strongly towards the economic and regulatory problems of the financial services industry, and especially of the securities and options exchanges. Merton Miller The individual is not accountable to society for his actions in so far as these concern the interests of no person but himself. John Stuart Mill I'm excited about it, thrilled with the success thus far. Vince McMahon A good man, is a good man, whether in this church, or out of it. Brigham Young ...

a sharp stick in some wet cement. To act, an actor has to have words. A stage. a camera turning. Paul Muni Well, it was very interesting to play a character and stretch it over such a long time - 12 episodes. I had never done a TV show before, so week to week it was unclear what we would be asked to do. Nick Stahl Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears. Louis D. Brandeis I think Hillary and Bill are really liberals at heart. I think that, in addition to being liberals, they are very practical. They have made some decisions about what it takes to win. Maxine Waters We must have courage to bet on our ideas, to take the calculated risk, and to act. Everyday living requires courage if life is to be effective and bring happiness. Maxwell Maltz I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in ...

interests in the world, and they have been eroded over the last four years. Patrick Leahy We live in a world of increasing dependence on electronic records and retrieval, unprecedented security and preservation concerns, and insufficient attention to civic and democratic education. Allen Weinstein I always like to win. But I'm the big sister. I want to make sure she has everything, even if I don't have anything. It's hard. I love her too much. That's what counts. Venus Williams The people were just so lovely and accommodating and had really interesting questions and it was just interesting to see how the show is actually received in so many different countries. Shiri Appleby It is better to decide a difference between enemies than friends, for one of our friends will certainly become an enemy and one of our enemies a friend. Pierre Jean de Beranger All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and ...

activities, drug related activities, and terrorist support activities converging at certain points and becoming one. Sibel Edmonds That save from Pele's header was the best I ever made. I didn't have any idea how famous it would become - to start with, I didn't even realise I'd made it at all. Gordon Banks Today it has been estimated that the average 70 year old has four chronic conditions and consumes an average of 35 PBS scripts per year for those conditions. Julie Bishop Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture. Rem Koolhaas I'd like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way Chaplin did. I'll do that before I'm thirty. Eddie Murphy As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live. Pope John Paul II Ethics in government has always b...

in the arena of human activity, by those willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task. Robert Kennedy I can't help believing that these things that come from the subconscious mind have a sort of truth to them. It may not be a scientific truth, but it's psychological truth. Brian Aldiss There is no doubt that now, more than ever, we must work to end our dependence on foreign oil sources. But we cannot do so by ignoring the wishes of the coastal communities that oppose drilling. Elizabeth Dole In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose. J. Robert Oppenheimer One of the most difficult speeches to prepare is an address to a graduation class, which is why I don't often do them. Jerry Moran Silence is a true friend who never betrays. Confucius Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad peo...

nothing for jobs or economic growth and widens further still the democratic deficit. Nigel Farage The aim of life is appreciation; there is no sense in not appreciating things; and there is no sense in having more of them if you have less appreciation of them. Gilbert K. Chesterton Every time in this century we've lowered the tax rates across the board, on employment, on saving, investment and risk-taking in this economy, revenues went up, not down. Jack Kemp People have always doubted whether I was good enough to play this game at this level. I thought I was, and I thought I could be. What other people thought was really always irrelevant to me. Steve Nash I am trying to make my accent so it won't bother anyone, but I am not going to drive myself crazy trying to pretend I am an American girl when I am from Colombia. Shakira What a sense of security in an old book which time has criticized for us. James Russell Lowell We were like a stock company at Warners. W...

our enemies, and furnishing these States with necessaries, than Continental Ships of the same force. William Whipple Gather in your resources, rally all your faculties, marshal all your energies, focus all your capacities upon mastery of at least one field of endeavor. John Hagee I mean, I think I just it added to my excitement to playing today, and just going out there and doing the best I could, and no matter what happened, the end of the day was going to be a good end. Karrie Webb It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know. Linda Ronstadt There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man's own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health. Francis Bacon Once the command of the air is obtained by one of the contending armies, the war becomes a conflict between a s...

can stand in the way of those who are less strong. I can take the bullets for those who aren't able to. Margaret Cho For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow You got to play the flute as a flute, like that. You can't play like a tenor concept on soprano; it sounds wrong. But some guys do it, and they think it's O.K., but not so! Jerome Richardson Here we were talking about economic development, about investing billions of dollars in various programs, and I could see it wasn't billions of dollars people needed right away. Muhammad Yunus What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little. Lord Byron Despair and frustration will not shake our belief that the resistance is the only way of liberation. Emile Lahoud I'm not letting him write ...

so doing we have made real at least some part of that finished product in whose fabrication we are most concerned: ourselves. Learned Hand When I was put in a situation where I'm going there, you have to look at the team and the possibility that hey, we can probably do some good things over there. Latrell Sprewell The possibility of divorce renders both marriage partners stricter in their observance of the duties they owe to each other. Divorces help to improve morals and to increase the population. Denis Diderot It is pretty clear that they are ineffective in stopping the course of thought at present, but they have not always been so in the past and we cannot be sure that they will not be so in the future. John Desmond Bernal All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you. Rainer Maria Rilke America will always side with those whom she can direct, give orders to and have tho...

a nation of immigrants. That certainly is a partial truth. But it is often assumed to be the total truth. Samuel P. Huntington During the many centuries that magic, here on this planet, was presumed to have worked, there were at least as many theories as to how magic worked as there were cultures and religions. Lynn Abbey It is work and personal worth which make a State great both politically and industrially, and in my estimation they are to be found in largest proportions in the Democratic party. Franklin Knight Lane The easy way out is to approve an early retirement plan one year but not pay out sick and vacation time to deserving employees until three years later. Unfortunately, later is now. Jodi Rell It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners. Jim Elliot I heard my name associated with the Peter Pan syndrome more than once. But really, what's so wrong with Peter Pan? Peter Pan flies...

send a small check, now and then, to the Internal Revenue Service out of the kindness of my heart. David Rockefeller I'd like to believe that the women who wear my clothes are not dressing for other people, that they're wearing what they like and what suits them. It's not a status thing. Marc Jacobs We've had some fairly intensive discussions leading up to these meetings between NATO and Russia, preparing for them, and it's going to be a very important six months for NATO. Warren Christopher I realise that in this undertaking I place myself in a certain opposition to views widely held concerning the mathematical infinite and to opinions frequently defended on the nature of numbers. Georg Cantor Children are already accustomed to a world that moves faster and is more exciting than anything a teacher in front of a classroom can do. Major Owens It's not so much that I got that idea at some point, it came up naturally because of the improvisational na...

to reflect on our nation's progress towards the realization of his dream. Adam Schiff I would be lying if I said the journalism doesn't reflect my own choices as a reporter and a writer: what to say, what to emphasize, how to say it, what is true or untrue. David Simon We want to develop innovative ways to promote savings so more Americans can save for their future, but first we need to reject privatization schemes and work together to strengthen Social Security. Debbie Stabenow When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn't a sign that they 'don't understand' one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to. Helen Rowland Well, I don't use the toilet much to pee in. I almost always pee in the yard or the garden, because I like to pee on my estate. Iggy Pop I am convinced that the modular structure of the Mir will be the main trend in manned orbital stations development in the next century. Valentina Tereshkova I don't think...

Democracy doesn't just consist of holding elections. Brent Scowcroft Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope. Corazon Aquino They planned this fair to bring business to Chicago, into the Loop. But you could have fired a cannon down state street and hit nobody, because everybody was out at the fair. Sally Rand The mercy caravans are through there the medicine refugees flowing out. It makes the United States look very bad here. And much more like an occupation force than it did before. Jon Lee Anderson The difficulties which I meet with in order to realize my existence are precisely what awaken and mobilize my activities, my capacities. Jose Ortega y Gasset I say 20 words in English. I say money, money, money, and I say hot dog! I say yes, no and I say money, money, money and I say turkey sandwich and I say grape juice. Car...

authoritarianism. It is understandable why the African artist is utilitarian. Ama Ata Aidoo I think we're struggling with trying to redefine various positions at this point in history. To allow freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom from those sharply defined gender roles. Fred Ward What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach. Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton The most important thing is to write material that YOU think is funny. If you don't think it's funny, but you're convinced that other people will think it is, well they won't. Mo Rocca I have never been able to see myself as fitting into one category, and I have never been able to limit my contact with people to one group of people. Andres Serrano The five separate fingers are five independent units. Close them and the fist multiplies strength. This is organization. James Cash Penney We shoul...

government. The mass of mankind understand it, and they hardly anywhere in the world understand any other. Walter Bagehot It was post war. It was very gray, very dreary. Everything was still rationed when I first saw the United States in 1951. I went over to visit my sister who was a war bride. John Mahoney The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it. Gertrude Stein Acting is a very personal process. It has to do with expressing your own personality, and discovering the character you're playing through your own experience - so we're all different. Ian Mckellen People keep pushing me to be the center of attention... I would prefer to be on the sidelines, because that's where you see more. Gong Li This being so, it follows that mythology ought not to take the prominent place that is too often assigned to it in the scientific study of a...

words, I lead with my heart and not my head. That's the only chance we have against George Bush. Howard Dean Creative people who can't help but explore other mental territories are at greater risk, just as someone who climbs a mountain is more at risk than someone who just walks along a village lane. R. D. Laing As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to. Andres Serrano Look, freedom is an overwhelming American notion. The idea that we want to see the world, the peoples of the world free is something that all of us subscribe to. Joe Biden To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost. Gustave Flaubert We get along really well, but TV and film aren't reality. We're best friends, but we do have our fights! Mary-Kate Olsen In fact the ex...

dragged past them. I do not respect them, because they will not run - will not try to escape. Jack Henry Abbott A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it. Frederick Douglass These are excellent lessons to break him, and make him light in hand: but nothing puts a horse so much upon his haunches, and consequently makes him so light in hand, as my new method of the pillar. William Cavendish Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans, fools and women. We may soon be able to tame the oceans; fools and women will take a little longer. Spiro T. Agnew I always say you've only got one life to live, and you're not promised a tomorrow. So, you might as well just have a good time with it. Fantasia Barrino When they came to you for your line, you had to be ready and you had to get it in one. June Foray It rarely adds anything to say, ...

and lukewarm ministers and professors of this generation think and say so. Donald Cargill Fortunate indeed, is the man who takes exactly the right measure of himself, and holds a just balance between what he can acquire and what he can use. Peter Latham I'm glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, because it leaves this whole other area open to people like me. Richard Thompson That's the only way I can control my movie. If you shoot everything, then everything is liable to end up in the movie. If you have a vision, you don't have to cover every scene. Debbie Allen There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible. Henry Ford It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality. Arnold Bennett Self-interest is the enemy of all true affec...

wouldn't mind the odd few, but I'd also like a record going in at eight and staying around. Robbie Williams Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life. Dalai Lama Programming is not a zero-sum game. Teaching something to a fellow programmer doesn't take it away from you. I'm happy to share what I can, because I'm in it for the love of programming. John Carmack I find that people... very few people think that what they're doing is bad, and usually the people who think what they're doing is bad it has more to do with guilt. Jon Favreau I oppose any attempt to grant homosexual unions the same legal privileges that civil government affords to traditional marriage and family life. Todd Akin Women have more to prove than men when it comes to politics. Julie Nixon Eisenhower Action speaks louder than words but n...

lot of violent shows. When I started in television, breaking a pencil was a violent act. Aaron Spelling Generally I finish a first draft in 2-6 months, then I set it aside for a while so that when I come back to it I can read it with fresh eyes and figure out how to improve it. Margaret Haddix Advertising was fairly simple work, and I really just wanted a job where I could sit and write every day and not get fired for it like I had at other jobs, but it was fun. John Hughes It was more freeing, mainly because he's so free anyway. He just is in his performance. So to mimic someone doing a free performance, well, that's pretty freeing within itself. Michael Welch At one point, people thought that Eddie Murphy would only reach one sector of the audience, but now everyone sees everything Eddie Murphy does. Morris Chestnut Numerical quantities focus on expected values, graphical summaries on unexpected values. John Tukey Answer violence with violence. If one of us ...

you can't expect every Romeo to really be in love with their Juliet! Deborah Bull Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big. Theodore Roosevelt No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished? Lee Iacocca We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education. Jean-Jacques Rousseau Half-jokingly, I asked what was wrong with me. So we made a deal: I would run his biological research provided I had a free hand to run my new project. James W. Black One thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve. Albert Schweitzer The hope,...

National Laboratories, and the Department of Defense. Charles Bass There are certain promises you make that are more sacred than anything that happens in a court of law, I don't care how many Bibles you put your hand on. Paul Castellano Advertising is the art of the tiny. You have to tell a complete a story and deliver a complete message in a very encapsulated form. It disciplines you to cut away extraneous information. Dick Wolf But it's true, when you see some television, you carry it with you. It's like 90210. Tell me what young shows were being done then... We were thrilled about the ratings around the world. Aaron Spelling I wonder much that a court of Law should be in doubt whether a Resolution of Congress can superceed the Law of a Sovereign State. William Whipple I thought I would reflect here on a theme most scientists enjoy recalling: the part luck played in their accomplishments. Edmond H. Fischer The attractive lady whom I had only recently bee...

and disgrace and if I am never a gain elected I will have the gratification to know that I have done my duty. Davy Crockett I moved out at 18. I always studied classes and trained a lot, you know. I think nowadays is such a different time because there's so many channels promoting the celebrity aspect of things. Vince Vaughn If a cow walked into this room, I'd probably walk out. I could milk it, but my dad never forced me to do a lot of chores like that, mostly because he loved doing it himself. Stuart Appleby People are definitely a company's greatest asset. It doesn't make any difference whether the product is cars or cosmetics. A company is only as good as the people it keeps. Mary Kay Ash When I entered the field in July 1958 I believed what they told me about radiation risks. I spent much effort reducing the dose to patients in radiology. John Cameron Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in whi...

and chemicals into farming, the more we knock out the mechanism that made it all work in the first place. David R. Brower I want people to come to my music without prejudice. I want them to get the music first. And who I am isn't that important. If they like the songs to me that's a good thing. Richard Thompson Noting that Huckleberry Finn was originally both valued and reviled because it shows the reader that the accepted moral code and social hierarchy is not always correct. Robert Vaughan There has been hardly a single year since 1917, and in a certain sense since 1905, without a revolution somewhere in the world in which the workers participated in a rather important way. Ernest Mandel We have a good life when we manage to live with both satisfied and unsatisfied needs, when we are not obsessed by what is beyond our reach. Kjell Magne Bondevik I make a movie because it's something that inspires me. Tony Scott It's like tabloid news programs that ta...

Universal guy was like wouldn't they just use their cell phone? I guess he did not read that it was 1977 in the script. Rob Zombie Everything is relative. Is the Internet fast? Not for most people. Is it always on? Yes, for cable modem and DSL users but that represents a tiny percentage of users. John Patrick I think kids should have a mentor and a role model, but that they shouldn't take one person's opinion to be what we call final assessment or judgment about how life is supposed to be. Sean Paul Here was a fragment of Goddess myth that, through all its permutations, had somehow escaped being turned on its head. It was the perfect springboard for the sort of novel I wanted to write. Joan D. Vinge In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience. Oscar Wilde There's another girl who was going to play Hilary Faye and luckily she wound up not doing it. Heather Matarazzo We'...

me go out on stage, my perfect ending. Don't let me go when I'm sick or asleep. Let me be in motion. Bobby Womack The highest of the world's mountains, it seems, has to make but a single gesture of magnificence to be the lord of all, vast in unchallenged and isolated supremacy. George Leigh Mallory I don't think we have very good records about what they were thinking except, as I pointed out earlier today, that they did invent our political system. David R. Brower The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them. When the idea is new, its custodians have fervor, live for it, and if need be, die for it. Alfred North Whitehead The environment doesn't change that radically. You are still going to go home at night and NBC is going to be there, ABC and CBS will still be there. Dick Wolf If some of our works are symphonies, then wrapped walkways was chamber music. Christo There's a little more ego invol...

settle for well done, ask them to hold the sweetened library paste that passes for gravy. Marian Burros There was a great deal of peer recognition to be gained in elementary school by being able to draw well. One girl could draw horses so well, she was looked upon as a kind of sorceress. Chris Van Allsburg I do not intend, we do not intend, that any party shall survive, if we can help it, that will lay the confiscating hand upon Americans in the interest of England or of Europe. Richard Parks Bland There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it. Dale Carnegie The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honours. Lao Tzu Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding. Mahatma Gandhi I am definitely...

never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning. Isaac Asimov There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies? Richard Dawkins Poetry is its own medium; it's very different than writing prose. Poetry can talk in an imagistic sense, it has particular ways of catching an environment. Story Musgrave We should have been there shoulder to shoulder with our allies. Our concern is the instability of our government as an ally. We are playing again with national and global security matters. Stephen Harper We are all ready to be savage in some cause. The difference between a good man and a bad one is the choice of the cause. William James I feel that I belong to the 19th century. Some composers' music is very topical. It almost says, 'This is about what I read in newspapers yesterday.' Not m...

glorious party be so easily crashed: this would then be the moment, when we would begin to fight on all fronts. Otto Bauer People keep saying, 'Oh, you're getting all these great reviews, that must make you really happy.' I guess it does, but mostly it's just a relief.

Jeffrey Eugenides The New Testament presents, in its way, the same union of the divine and human as the person of Christ. In this sense also 'the word became flesh, and dwells among us.'

No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one's own religion. Mahatma Gandhi When you arise in t...

governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.

Melissa Etheridge All truly historical peoples have an idea they must realize, and when they have sufficiently exploited it at home, they export it, in a certain way, by war; they make it tour the world.

Tom Stoppard Nobody travels on the road to success without a puncture or two. Navjot Singh Sidhu If you watch the show and the ch...

that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or emotional appeal.

Pete Fountain Understandably, no peace can sustained when people continue to suffer from hunger, lack of jobs, lack of basic public services - and most of all - lack of opportunity or hope. Mikheil Saakashvili I think the world is ready for some rock 'n' roll. Some real time guys that play their own instruments, write their own songs, and sing the music and have a good time doing it.

John Locke When alien abductees recount to me their stories, I do not deny that they had a real experienc...

Many years later I became a close friend of Jack Hannah, the director of the Donald Duck film shorts.

I also use it for creating MP3 files of new music I'm working on.

Eliot Engel If Trescothick had tried to get me off the field when batting well, I'd have hit him with my b...

wait for permission to do this. They do not deal a blow with prior notice. They do not take action because they can't. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad In all worldly things that a man pursues with the greatest eagerness he finds not half the pleasure in the possession that he proposed to himself in the expectation. Robert South The social sciences were for all those who had not yet decided what to do with their lives, and for all those whose premature frustrations led them into the sterile alleys of confrontation. Peter Ustinov The misery of a child is interesting to a mother, the misery of a young man is interesting to a young woman, the misery of an old man is interesting to nobody.

Alex Winter If the guitar synthesizer is really going to stand as a synthesizer on its own, it needs to develop a more characteristic sound; I don' think it's gotten there yet. Andy Summers I think Operation Smile is in more than 22 countries, mostly Third World. It just happened that my schedule opened up at the time they were heading to Vietnam. Roma Downey Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.

Edward Levi Big Linux deployments have reached the point where it's become a real problem for administrators that they don't have nice tools to manage their ser...

an official reports that talks were useful, it can safely be concluded that nothing was accomplished. John Kenneth Galbraith I was a schooled musician. When I made 'Blue Velvet', I told everyone what to do. I was an arranger. I learned music in school I told the band to play this. I told the guitar to do that.

Carson McCullers The suicide arrives at the conclusion that what he is seeking does not exist; the seeker concludes that what he has not yet looked in the right place.

useful exercise, even if what you're writing about is not that relevant. Walter Gilbert At the end of the day, whether or not those people are comfortable with how you're living your life doesn't matter. What matters is whether you're comfortable with it.

Earl Hines It's because we are so flooded with American culture that we're startled when we see ourselves up there on the screen.

scandals and demand that America withdraw from the international organization. Ginny Brown-Waite Foreign aid is neither a failure nor a panacea. It is, instead, an important tool of American policy that can serve the interests of the United States and the world if wisely administered. Lee H. Hamilton Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. A patriot shows their their patriotism through their actions, by their choice.

And if you're really lucky, they really believe in you and think that your talent has some unending bounds to it. Mark Ruffalo Almost all of our relationships begin and most of them continue as forms of mutual exploitation, a mental or physical barter, to be terminated when one or both parties run out of goods.

Dick Thornburgh In course of time, religion came with its rites invoking the aid of good spirits which were even more powerful than the bad spirits, and thus for the time being tempered the agony of fears.

And if we could have got Osama bin Laden, and saved at some point down the road 3,000 American lives, a few less Arab princes would have been OK in my book. Michael Scheuer Life is like dancing.

experience the world. But I know then they are going to have a better appreciation for what is here in Maine. John Baldacci It is the lash of hunger which compels the poor man to submit. In order to live he must sell - 'voluntarily' sell - himself every day and hour to the 'beast of property.'

You know what that means? There's still hope for Ike and Tina Turner. Jay Leno There were so many great music and political scenes going on in the late '60s in Cambridge.

Sidney Blumenthal All we are saying is give peace a chance. John Lennon Life is always a tightrope or a feather bed. Give me the tightrope....

didn't go anywhere. Eventually I did the pilot for Beverly Hills, 90210. The rest is history. Brian Austin Green Perhaps he wanted to be alone with Dr. G., who was here, but he should have let me know. At Hoffmann's I felt I was sitting on hot coals, expecting him to arrive every moment.

the old recipes have often been changed to include modern techniques and ingredients. Jeremy Jackson I'm a character actor, so I don't take the hit if the movie's bad, the lead does.

Brion James I have argued above that we cannot prevent the Singularity, that its coming is an inevitable consequence of the humans' natural competitiveness and the possibilities inherent in technology.

so I began, in earnest, to start my musical career again. Going for the big record deal and all of that. Jimmy Carl Black When I look back over my novels what I find is that when I think I'm finished with a theme, I'm generally not. And usually themes will recur from novel to novel in odd, new guises. Richard Russo That's how I like to do it with actors, have them really go for it and I'll tell them when it's too much. It's always easier to bring it back then to push it further.

Ben Edwards The difference is slight, to the influence of an author, whether he is read by 500 readers, or by five hundred thousand; if he can select the 500, he reaches the five hundred thousand. Brooks Adams My friends and I took songwriting very, very seriously. My hero was and still is Bob Dylan, but also people like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell and that whole generation.

Nat King Cole Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals. Albert Schw...

for them. So we are having serious economic problems in this country. We are in a real economic crisis. Richard M. Daley A god whose creation is so imperfect that he must be continually adjusting it to make it work properly seems to me a god of relatively low order, hardly worthy of any worship. Martin Gardner Education is important because, first of all, people need to know that discrimination still exists. It is still real in the workplace, and we should not take that for granted.

know instantly and respond within twenty-four hours, it's a very different sort of situation. Peter Singer Surfing soothes me, it's always been a kind of Zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent, peaceful, and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I'm on a wave.

George Whitefield A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition. Gilbert K. Chesterton When death, the great reconc...

destroyed by the relative brutality of the technique employed. But this did not happen. Albert Claude Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

Ronald Reagan While it is true that we must seek value added industries like food processing plants and call center operations, we must do what is necessary to expand and develop our economic profile.

Cilla Black Man loves liberty, even if he does not know that he loves it. He is driven by it and flees from where it does not exist. Jose Marti I like to eat good food. I cook and collect wine.

Pat Riley After touring with David Bowie last year, I was inspired to look at what I wanted to do as an artist, and I realized I wanted to go back to the music I fell in love with when I was eight years old. Emm Gryner There's nothing wrong or evil about having a bad day. There's everything wrong with making others have to have it... with you.

John Bachman Iran is central to our foreign policy in the Middle East, a major player in global energy markets, and a key country in terms of our interaction with the Muslim world. Howard Berman I still can't quite believe it. Although there was something about the fact that it was a first-time writer, a first-time producer, and a first-time director all at the same time. Sam Mendes With this realization, came a growing need for men and women willing to take up arms in an effort to protect our American way of life and the freedoms so many of our ancestors died to entrench.

is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more. Lord Byron Each instrument has something to say to you. It's got its own character. Each horn has its own character and will say to you certain things. If you violate that, it's almost a sacrilege! Jerome Richardson Throughout the ages, stories with certain basic themes have recurred over and over, in widely disparate cultures; emerging like the goddess Venus from the sea of our unconscious. Joan D. Vinge It is often in the name of cultural integrity as well as social stability and national security that democratic reforms based on human rights are resisted by authoritarian governments.

She must not be awed by that which has been built up around her; she must reverence that woman in her which struggles for expression. Margaret Sanger Despite the state of denial exhibited by most Democrats, Americans all across the nation acknowledge that changes are necessary to preserve Social Security for today's younger workers.

Tony Goldwyn I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand. In the end it's really only my own approval or disapproval that means anything. Agnetha Faltskog Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be ...

use music when I do recitals. It produces an instant barrier, both for yourself and the audience. Bryn Terfel Orwell was the sort of man who was full of grievances. He was very loyal. Once he got to know you, he was extremely loyal. He hated passionately and irrationally. George Woodcock One hearty laugh together will bring enemies into a closer communion of heart than hours spent on both sides in inward wrestling with the mental demon of uncharitable feeling. William James Well, we think the broadcasts did have some effect, because we see the antiwar movement in the U.S. building up, growing and so we think that our broadcast is a support to this antiwar movement. Hanoi Hannah Evil has no substance of its own, but is only the defect, excess, perversion, or corruption of that which has substance. John Henry Newman The real fight is about what should be in the marketplace and what should not. Should education be a marketable commodity? Should healthcare? Susan George D...
