John Huston quotes

Hollywood has always been a cage... a cage to catch our dreams.

After all, crime is only a left-handed form of human endeavor.

Quotes by Billy Zane

My best evenings are at home with my lady.

For me it's always about first impressions. I trust my instincts. I love to prepare if it's something that requires training. But I don't like to prepare the psychology too much. I enjoy the psychology of the character but I work better from a first impression.

I paint abstract expressions.

A wig is a wig is a wig.

Anne Bradstreet quotes

If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.

By art he gladly found what he did seek,
A weak or wounded brain admits no cure.

When by the Ruins oft I past
In silence ever shalt thou lie.

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge, fitter to bruise than to polish.

Top 5 quotes by Kevin Garnett

So you're dealing with a coach, and you're dealing with a guy who's actually experienced NBA basketball from a player's perspective and actually goes about it that way.

The beautiful thing about when you go through a slide is that you learn from it. Not just saying that you learn from it, but applying the things that you have learned.

We have to do the impossible, but it is possible.

We know that in order for us to turn this around, it doesn't matter how many coaches they bring in here, assistants, weight trainers, whoever, we're the ones that are going to have turn it around. And I think just took that responsibility on ourselves.

Top 5 quotes by Bob Inglis

It's clear that we need comprehensive immigration reform.

So I submit to my colleagues here today that hydrogen is not as far away as we think it is.

The freedom to convert is fundamental to freedom of religion.

For example, a breakthrough in better batteries could supplant hydrogen. Better solar cells could replace or win out in this race to the fuel of the future. Those, I see, as the three big competitors: hydrogen, solar cells and then better batteries.

I voted for the Deficit Reduction Package with significant heartburn over the student aid provisions.

Patrick Buchanan quotes

Quotes by Daniel Patrick Moynihan

The central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics,that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself.

There is one unmistakable lesson in American history: A community that allows a large number of young men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring any stable relationship to male authority, never acquiring any set of rational expectations about the future - that community asks for and gets chaos... And it is richly deserved.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.

Danny Kaye quotes

Top 5 quotes by Joseph De Maistre

We are tainted by modern philosophy which has taught us that all is good, whereas evil has polluted everything and in a very real sense all is evil, since nothing is in its proper place.

In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author; vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum.

Nothing is necessary except God, and nothing is less necessary than pain.

Man is insatiable for power; he is infantile in his desires and, always discontented with what he has, loves only what he has not. People complain of the despotism of princes; they ought to complain of the despotism of man.

There is no man who desires as passionately as a Russian. If we could imprison a Russian desire beneath a fortress, that fortress would explode.

Nice quote by Thomas Carew

Those curious locks so aptly twin'd,
Whose every hair a soul doth bind.

Elizabeth Dole quotes

Women share with men the need for personal success, even the taste of power, and no longer are we willing to satisfy those needs through the achievements of surrogates, whether husbands, children, or merely role models.

What you always do before you make a decision is consult. The best public policy is made when you are listening to people who are going to be impacted. Then, once policy is determined, you call on them to help you sell it.

We have learned that power is a positive force if it is used for positive purposes.

Top 5 quotes by Joan Didion

When I'm near the end of a book, I need to sleep in the same room with it.

Grammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its power.

To cure jealousy is to see it for what it is, a dissatisfaction with self, an impossible claim that one should be at once Rose Bowl princess, medieval scholar, Saint Joan, Milly Theale, Temple Drake, Eleanor of Aquitaine, one's sister and a stranger in a pink hat seen once and admired on the corner of 55th and Madison-as well as oneself, mysteriously improved.

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.

Jeff Zucker quotes

It is a significant acknowledgment that the way people are watching television is changing and the model is quickly changing.

It's a growing trend. Viewers are our customers, but so are advertisers. And advertisers want different ways to reach our viewers.

More traffic means more advertising dollars.

People are looking for original content in many different places, as are advertisers. This takes us into a whole new ballgame.

Michael Jackson is the ultimate traffic accident. People can't take their eyes off him.

Amy Irving quotes

I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I'm an old hippie from San Francisco.

I will argue my points; I will have my opinions. But at the end of the day, it's the director's choice.

I thought that my movie career was finished. I was quite happy to dedicate myself 100% to the theater. Surprisingly enough, I've never gotten so many work offers. It's so exciting, this feeling of a new beginning after 40.

In the U.S., with very few exceptions, actresses older than 35 are simply discarded.

And you know, the baby boomers are getting older, and those off the rack clothes are just not fitting right any longer, and so, tailor-made suits are coming back into fashion.

Top 5 quotes by Eddie Van Halen

Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.

It's always a Catch-22 situation. They hate you if you're the same, and they hate you if you're different.

I was trying to take the band in a direction that I thought was appropriate, and Roth was trying to take the band in more of a Las Vegas direction. And there he is.

There's a plaque on our wall that says we've sold over 65 million albums, and I don't feel I've accomplished anything. I feel like I'm just getting started.

David Lee Roth had the idea that if you covered a successful song, you were half way home. C'mon - Van Halen doing 'Dancing in the Streets'? It was stupid. I started feeling like I would rather bomb playing my own songs than be successful playing someone else's music.

Humphrey Davy quotes

I have learned more from my mistakes than from my successes.

Language is not only the vehicle of thought, it is a great and efficient instrument in thinking.

The most important of my discoveries has been suggested to me by my failures.

Michael Crichton quotes

The truth is, almost nobody wants to experience real nature. What people want is to spend a week or two in a cabin in the woods, with screens on the windows. They want a simplified life for a while, without all their stuff. Or a nice river rafting trip for a few days, with somebody else doing the cooking. Nobody wants to go back to nature in any real way, and nobody does. It's all talk — and as the years go on, and the world population grows increasingly urban, it's uninformed talk. Farmers know what they're talking about. City people don't. It's all fantasy.

Professor Johnston often said that if you didn't know history, you didn't know anything. You were a leaf that didn't know it was part of a tree.

The notion that the natural world obeys its own rules and doesn't give a damn about your expectations comes as a massive shock... it will demand that you adapt to it — and if you don't, you die. It is a harsh, powerful, and unforgiving world, that most urban westerners have never experienced.

And if we allow science to become politicized, then we are lost. We will enter the Internet version of the dark ages, an era of shifting fears and wild prejudices, transmitted to people who don't know any better.

The work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics.
