This was an important part of my life. But it was also sad that we

didn't play there, cause we had such alot of fans that were waiting for us and Brazilians are great people. It's now my second home. Jim Capaldi DOS is ugly and interferes with users' experience. Bill Gates Privatizing Social Security will take dollars out of young folks' pockets. Max Baucus The current constitutional law places the president of the republic in an embarrassing situation. Jose Eduardo dos Santos I think he came to the front door and rang the bell, and Maggie let him in, and he said he had forgotten his key; so I think she must have been down stairs.

The time has mainly gone on getting Inform into a decent shape for public use.

I suppose the plot of 'Curses' makes a sequel conceivable when compared with, say, the plot of 'Hamlet' but none is planned. Graham Nelson The word 'Antichrist', to me, is the collective disbelief in god. Marilyn Manson Films are hard to make and I think the word indulge really leads one to believe that it's an easy sort of business and it's really extremely difficult. Ken Russell I pick up the New York Times or Time and it's talking about the latest rock group, which I'm sure is exciting to some people, but it neglects a huge area of music. George Crumb I come from a Christian faith. I am not going to give you insight into my particular beliefs. Patricia Ireland

This nation has always struggled with how it was going to deal with poor people

and people of color. Every few years you will see some great change in the way that they approach this. We've had the war on poverty that never really got into waging a real war on poverty. Maxine Waters A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it. Susan Sontag An associate producer is the only guy in Hollywood who will associate with a producer. Fred Allen The art of effective listening is essential to clear communication, and clear communication is necessary to management success. James Cash Penney Self-help books are for the birds. Self-help groups are where it's at. Janice Dickinson

I did start reading quite young but I was always read to by my parents,

who are both actors. Bedtime stories from when I was about two/three to when I was about 15. In fact they didn't stop until I eventually kind of kicked them out of my bedroom. Samuel West When I got my first guitar my fingers wouldn't go to the sixth string so I took off the big E and played with just five strings. I was only 6 or 7. Les Paul All thought is naught but a footnote to Plato. George Santayana The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope. Samuel Johnson If you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, your life will be safe, expedient and thin. Katharine Butler Hathaway

Every American, regardless of their background, has the right to live free of unwarranted government

intrusion. Repealing the worst provisions of the Patriot Act will reign in this gross abuse of power and restore to everyone our basic Constitutional rights. Pete Stark We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself. Samuel Johnson Every beginning is only a sequel, after all, and the book of events is always open halfway through. Wislawa Szymborska I knew that if I concentrated on AdBrite, I could probably make a big company out of it. Philip J. Kaplan I consider myself an inventor, entrepreneur, and author. Ray Kurzweil

Don't write anything you can phone. Don't phone anything you can talk. Don't talk anything

you can whisper. Don't whisper anything you can smile. Don't smile anything you can nod. Don't nod anything you can wink. Earl Long The extent of your consciousness is limited only by your ability to love and to embrace with your love the space around you, and all it contains. Napoleon Bonaparte You must consider the bottom line, but make it integrity before profits. Denis Waitley I enjoy being a highly overpaid actor. Roger Moore This is a value-added college education if I have heard one described. And what is the most remarkable about Delaware State University graduates - is they just keeping giving back.

Your law may be perfect, your knowledge of human affairs may be such as to

enable you to apply it with wisdom and skill, and yet without individual acquaintance with men, their haunts and habits, the pursuit of the profession becomes difficult, slow, and expensive. William Dunbar I spent two months on the first draft, working 8 hours a day, five days a week. George Stephen The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little. Mark Twain Ideas must be put to the test. That's why we make things, otherwise they would be no more than ideas. There is often a huge difference between an idea and its realisation. I've had what I thought were great ideas that just didn't work. Andy Goldsworthy In the spring and summer of 1989, a serious political disturbance took place in China. Li Peng

In a higher phase of communist society... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois

right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. Karl Marx I like working solo and it was a lot of fun joking around with the audience, saying things. I'm only just learning how to do certain things. Art Garfunkel Read a lot. Write a lot. Have fun.

When you say that you are a race man, it means that you embrace the

entire black community regardless of the hue, whether somebody is very light and could pass for possibly white or someone is very dark. Ed Smith Antimatter is not a source of energy for us, it's a method of storing energy, compact but inefficient. Barney Oliver I try to tell the truth. Tucker Carlson Some women have said, 'Gee, here I am getting involved with this fat guy, what will people think of me?' But they were converted and sometimes surprised.

What does the truth matter? Haven't we mothers all given our sons a taste for

lies, lies which from the cradle upwards lull them, reassure them, send them to sleep: lies as soft and warm as a breast! Georges Bernanos There's a lot of heartache because you don't always win. You need loads of determination. Pat Cash A car is useless in New York, essential everywhere else. The same with good manners. Mignon McLaughlin I'm not a minister, I'm not a philosopher, I'm not a politician, I'm in another category. Sun Ra What motivated me? My mother. My mother was an immigrant woman, a peasant woman, struggled all her life, worked in the garment center. Al Lewis

To cement a new friendship, especially between foreigners or persons of a different social world,

a spark with which both were secretly charged must fly from person to person, and cut across the accidents of place and time. Cornelia Otis Skinner To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime. Erich Fromm Education, like neurosis, begins at home. Milton Sapirstein It's a very good question, very direct, and I'm not going to answer it. George H. W. Bush A stage play requires very different craft from a book, fiction or otherwise, and ditto from a screenplay. Dirk Benedict

I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it

integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now. Peter McWilliams Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women. Natalie Portman A man's gotta make at least one bet a day, else he could be walking around lucky and never know it.

We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don't

know where you're aiming, you don't have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared. Mary Kay Ash Friends are the sunshine of life. John Hay Take care, these Italians, full of failings, are neither you, nor me; they are your neighbors, the ones you meet on the staircase and whom you do not like to greet. Alberto Sordi It's good to keep in mind that prominence is always a mix of hard work, eloquence in your practice, good timing and fortuitous social relations. Everything can't be personalized. Barbara Kruger It is an understanding with the Great Spirit or Creator that we will follow these ways. Dennis Banks

I can remember going back a couple of years later and, you know, think about

it and I was doing a, kind of a political survey, door to door, and everything and I couldn't find any men in the town. It was very strange, you know. Richard Grimes Television is simply automated daydreaming. Lee Loevinger When you're in a movie, they treat you like you're four years old and give you whatever you want. Eric Stoltz Time and health are two precious assets that we don't recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.

What is the best music is impossible to define. Just because it's played by a

virtuoso player, doesn't mean it's great music. It might not reflect the soul of a people, which is really my criteria for great music. Mickey Hart Mankind are apt to be strongly prejudiced in favor of whatever is countenanced by antiquity, enforced by authority, and recommended by custom. Robert Hall I'm very lucky. I'm very fortunate that my books have never gone out of print - none of them. Paula Danziger This whole thing about winning and losing is muddy waters. But I can remember, as a young actor, just walking around this city and not being able to get arrested. Jeffrey Tambor Family responsibility, yes, and always. Family bankruptcy due to the cruel rules of government, no. Barbara Mikulski

I repeat that the distance between the earth and her satellite is a mere trifle,

and undeserving of serious consideration. I am convinced that before twenty years are over, one-half of our earth will have paid a visit to the moon. Jules Verne What I love about 'The Chew' is that we have these celebrities come on, and you get to see them in a different light, cooking or enjoying food, when we usually don't see them in that setting. So it's a lot of fun for their fans to see them be normal people and having that commonality of food. Carla Hall I don't want the big flashing lights and red carpet, like, 'Here comes another Bon Iver album!' I just want it to be my bedroom-y thing. But that'll take a while to figure out. Justin Vernon The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life. This is the only true style in architecture. Alvar Aalto I came to architecture from building. Because my father was a builder, everybody was - and is - a builder in my family. Renzo Piano ...

In 2003, I almost died of an intestinal blockage when I was on a mountain

in Chile, filming a segment for 'Scientific American Frontiers.' Alan Alda But I feel truly wowed by the architecture and the meaning of the architecture if you get lost in it and think about the man hours in the smallest little chapel, and the love involved. God it's fantastic. Paul Bettany If only Coca-Cola had had the kind of message to accompany its addictive deliciousness that Fox News has, we'd all be speaking Cokelish today. Steven Weber I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first. Peter Ustinov I have never seen a bad television program, because I refuse to. God gave me a mind, and a wrist that turns things off.

My brother was a great audience, and if he liked the picture, he would laugh

and laugh and laugh, and he would want to keep the picture. Making people laugh with an image I had created... what power that was! Lynn Johnston Mies van der Rohe's architecture and modern architecture in general suffered from not only being repetitive, but not explaining to the populous what the different rooms were for. Charles Jencks I feel now it's useless to keep hoping. The way things are today, we live in a world that needs laughter, and I've decided if I can make people laugh, I'm making a more important contribution. Paul Lynde At that time, we were in charge. We didn't ask. We just did. We just did what was in our heart. Ben E. King The care of a wise and good man for his only son is inferior to the regard of the great Parent of the universe for his creatures. John Woolman My mother still calls me Jim and that is about it.

The central premise behind Oslo was that if Arafat were given enough legitimacy,

territory, weapons and money, he would use his power to fight terror and make peace with Israel. Natan Sharansky The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will. Michel de Montaigne You can give some kind of spark of life to a comic that a photograph doesn't really have. A photograph, even if it's connecting with you, it seems very dead on the page sometimes. Daniel Clowes In my opinion, if we have not achieved peace, it is because people forget its most fundamental aspect. Before we talk about peace among nations, we must settle our peace with God. Sun Myung Moon So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.' Tommy Cooper If somebody plans to carry out a series of murders... then this is obviously an evil and pre-meditated attack and in that case, there coul...

My uncle inspired me, and it was because of him that I become a wrestler,

but besides him, the one Superstar that really caught my attention growing up as a kid was 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.Rey Mysterio It's clear that Planned Parenthood went out of its way to paint me as some sort of a zealot - a Trojan-horse zealot who came into Komen and within 10 to 11 months had completely turned the place upside down.

I just try to keep the same people I've had around me from Day One.

Keep it a real small circle because if you do that, not too much is going to go bad for you. Kevin Love I may not be as visible as I used to be, and by that I mean being in the clubhouse or on the field. But I'm just as invested as I've always been. Billy Beane I was a dancer for many years. I was a premier dancer with 'Porgy and Bess,' the opera. And I taught dance some, in different places. Maya Angelou I steal things from people, characteristics, and I just stock them in my head like a library to use for characters in the future. Luke Mably To the extent that we have a better understanding of the brain, we will have a richer appreciation of ourselves, of our fellow men and of society and, in fact, of the whole world and its problems.

When I was studying... there weren't any black concert pianists. My choices were intuitive, and

I had the technique to do it. People have heard my music and heard the classic in it, so I have become known as a black classical pianist. Nina Simone Creation implies authority in the sense of originator. The possibility of a 'Fall' is implied in a Covenant insofar as the idea of a Covenant implies the possibility of its being violated. Kenneth Burke Other people - they practice and they practice... these fingers of mine, they got brains in 'em. You don't tell them what to do - they do it. God given talent. Jerry Lee Lewis In this day and time, with no competition you are really walking a tightrope. I mean you may think that no competition is good, but in reality no competition is really bad. Jerry Lawler I played a heap of snow in a school play. I was under a sheet, and crawled out when spring came. I often say I'll never reach the same artistic level again.

A fan sent me a letter and a $10 bill. It's a short letter -

all she said was, 'Hey, since it's harder for you to go out these days without getting photographed, here $10 for a pizza.' I was like, 'Aww, she sent me money for a pizza so I could eat at home!' Zac Efron I feel that after all those horrible reviews and jokes, I wasn't crazy all these years to stand up for the music I believe in. This album has proven that somewhere in the human race, the human heart is still racing and breaking and I am so grateful. Barry Manilow I was a scapegoat. The media had to put responsibility on somebody, and I was chosen. They felt free to say that because someone was thin they were anorexic, which is ridiculous. Kate Moss An object imbued with intent - it has power, it's treasure, we're drawn to it. An object devoid of intent - it's random, it's imitative, it repels us.

Queen Latifah used to help me out with my kids, because while we

were all out on tour - Public Enemy, Naughty By Nature, Queen Latifah, Heavy D - when Public Enemy went onstage, I didn't have anybody solid to watch my kids. So, Latifah would help me out. Flavor Flav As you know, I'm androgynous. I can wear a jacket that most guys wouldn't put on. But you make it in guys' sizes, and suddenly they're wearing them. I think styles should get back to getting people to wear things that look so good that they don't care. Steven Tyler In these difficult times, when tough decisions are required, the differences between Labour and the Tories are becoming much clearer. One party believes in intervention to reduce social and economic costs and the other believes in market forces and letting things take their course.

The spirit of the Olympic movement is great for young people because it teaches them

about the training and discipline required to compete. Even if they don't make the teams, they can rededicate their lives to the art of sport, discipline, and physical fitness. Richard M. Daley The sacrifices ordinary American men and women from communities large and small have been willing to make, often before they were past their teenage years, have secured our nation unprecedented freedoms and made us the world's bulwark of liberty. Steve Buyer I love the sea's sounds and the way it reflects the sky. The colours that shimmer across its surface are unbelievable. This, combined with the colour of the water over white sand, surprises me every time. John Dyer And if you get caught up in combing the Internet for what people think of you or how people perceive you, I think that's a slippery slope.
