Dave Edmunds quotes

It's all very boring to say that we get along great and all that and sometimes we mock up come aggravation to make it interesting but the truth of it is that we get along so well we've never had an argument.

This band has never had an argument. It's just amazing.

And then the last album, Get It, was done over a shorter period of time and I started using other musicians, as opposed to playing all the instruments myself like I did on the other two.

I never considered myself a songwriter, but now since I've been working with Nick Lowe, I am contributing to an extent. But I'm the guitarist and he's not, so we compliment each other in a way.

It was all recorded and mixed and there's more continuity in it more direction.

Abdurrahman Wahid quotes

I told the students that we can exert pressure without resorting to violence, and that we can move towards democracy without violence; that way, God will allow it.

All too many Muslims fail to grasp Islam, which teaches one to be lenient towards others and to understand their value systems, knowing that these are tolerated by Islam as a religion.

If we cling to the institution of Islam, then we tend to defend it against whatever we see as a danger to it, so because of this we see now that many people are defending states, defending territories, defending everything institutional in the belief that they defend Islam.

Well, the most important thing about Islam is that we have to differentiate between two kinds of Islam. The first one is the institution of Islam... second, the culture of Islam.

Quotes by Hans Magnus Enzensberger

Zac Efron quotes

I wish I could say I see my little brother more. We used to fight all the time but now that I don't see him very often I cherish the time I have with him.

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!

In sixth grade, my basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime, with three seconds left, I rebounded the ball and passed it - to the wrong team! They scored at the buzzer and we lost the game. To this day, I still have nightmares!

If I splurge on anything, it's cologne. I love smelling good.

I don't know if I believe in love at first sight, but of course I believe in two people having chemistry right away. A girl should be really easy to talk to. When I lose track of time because we've been talking, I think that's really fun.

Top 5 quotes by Patti LaBelle

I never thought I would be singing for the world.

I'm no different than you.

Quotes by Jeanette Winterson

Of course that is not the whole story, but that is the way with stories; we make them what we will. It's a way of explaining the universe while leaving the universe unexplained, it's a way of keeping it all alive, not boxing it into time.

What you risk reveals what you value.

I say I'm in love with her. What does that mean? It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is as though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly, she explains me to myself. Like a genuis, she is ignorant of what she does.

Top 5 quotes by Neil Young

When the punk thing came along and I heard my friends saying, I hate these people with the pins in their ears. I said, Thank God, something got their attention.

William Blackstone quotes

Those rights, then, which God and nature have established, and are therefore called natural rights, such as life and liberty, need not the aid of human laws to be more effectually invested in every man than they are; neither do they receive any additional strength when declared by the municipal laws to be inviolate. On the contrary, no human legislature has power to abridge or destroy them, unless the owner shall himself commit some act that amounts to a forfeiture.

The public good is in nothing more essentially interested than in the protection of every individual's private rights.

It is better that ten guilty escape than one innocent suffer.

Man was formed for society and is neither capable of living alone, nor has the courage to do it.

So great moreover is the regard of the law for private property, that it will not authorize the least violation of it; no, not even for the general good of the whole community.
