99410. Meth production and use is a serious problem in Kentucky and across the country. Clearly, there is a growing need for a national strategy to combat this crisis. Increasing public awareness is a significant means for prevention. – Ron Lewis

99411. It is incumbent upon each of us to improve spending and savings practices to ensure our own individual financial security and preserve the collective economic well-being of our great society. – Ron Lewis

99412. Identity theft involving these cards is a growing form of white collar crime, facilitating illegal immigration, banking and accounting fraud, tax evasion, and other nefarious activities. – Ron Lewis

99446. Men haven’t changed their behaviour, so women somehow have to be strengthened to be able to ward off the men. – Stephen Lewis

99447. Young women, adolescent girls, are more subject to infection, sometimes at a rate of six times that of boys. That tells you a lot about the vulnerability of women. – Stephen Lewis

99448. Unless there is recognition that women are most vulnerable… and you do something about social and cultural equality for women, you’re never going to defeat this pandemic. – Stephen Lewis

99449. One is that if women’s sexuality in Africa wasn’t under assault, if women were able to say no, if women weren’t subject to predatory attacks by men, or predatory behaviour generally, then you would have a disease in Africa called AIDS. But you wouldn’t have a pandemic. – Stephen Lewis

99450. It is always the village women who drive these things. – Stephen Lewis

99451. It gives one hope, this great strength of Africa. – Stephen Lewis

99452. I was working for the Socialist International, after I left university in 1959, as a researcher. – Stephen Lewis

99463. As a result of the feminist revolution, “feminine” becomes an abusive epithet. – Wyndham Lewis

99465. It is more comfortable for me, in the long run, to be rude than polite. – Wyndham Lewis

99466. Men were only made into “men” with great difficulty even in primitive society: the male is not naturally “a man” any more than the woman. He has to be propped up into that position with some ingenuity, and is always likely to collapse. – Wyndham Lewis

99467. Prostration is our natural position. A worm-like movement from a spot of sunlight to a spot of shade, and back, is the type of movement that is natural to men. – Wyndham Lewis

99468. Revolution today is taken for granted, and in consequence becomes rather dull. – Wyndham Lewis

99469. The art of advertisement, after the American manner, has introduced into all our life such a lavish use of superlatives, that no standard of value whatever is intact. – Wyndham Lewis

99470. I feel most at home in the United States, not because it is intrinsically a more interesting country, but because no one really belongs there any more than I do. We are all there together in its wholly excellent vacuum. – Wyndham Lewis

99471. Artists teach critics what to think. Critics repeat what the artists teach them. – Sol LeWitt

99472. Minimalism wasn’t a real idea – it ended before it started. – Sol LeWitt

99473. Also, since art is a vehicle for the transmission of ideas through form, the reproduction of the form only reinforces the concept. It is the idea that is being reproduced. Anyone who understands the work of art owns it. We all own the Mona Lisa. – Sol LeWitt

99474. A blind man can make art if what is in his mind can be passed to another mind in some tangible form. – Sol LeWitt

99475. Artists of many diverse types began using simple forms to their own ends. – Sol LeWitt

99477. You shouldn’t be a prisoner of your own ideas. – Sol LeWitt

99478. All of the significant art of today stems from Conceptual art. This includes the art of installation, political, feminist and socially directed art. – Sol LeWitt

99479. The other great development has been in photography, but that too was influenced by Conceptual art. – Sol LeWitt

99480. The system is the work of art; the visual work of art is the proof of the System. The visual aspect can’t be understood without understanding the system. It isn’t what it looks like but what it is that is of basic importance. – Sol LeWitt

99481. The thinking of John Cage derived from Duchamp and Dada. I was not interested in that. – Sol LeWitt

99482. Unless you’re involved with thinking about what you’re doing, you end up doing the same thing over and over, and that becomes tedious and, in the end, defeating. – Sol LeWitt

99483. When artists make art, they shouldn’t question whether it is permissible to do one thing or another. – Sol LeWitt

99484. Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus. – Sol LeWitt

99485. I became interested in making books, starting about 1965, when I did the Serial Project #1, deciding that I needed a small book to show how the work could be understood and how the system worked. – Sol LeWitt

99486. Buying books was a way anyone could acquire a work of art for very little. – Sol LeWitt

99487. I believe that the artist’s involvement in the capitalist structure is disadvantageous to the artist and forces him to produce objects in order to live. – Sol LeWitt

99488. I didn’t want to save art – I respected the older artists too much to think art needed saving. But I knew it was finished, even though, at that time, I didn’t know what I would do. – Sol LeWitt

99489. I was not interested in irony; I wanted to emphasize the primacy of the idea in making art. – Sol LeWitt

99490. In my case, I used the elements of these simple forms – square, cube, line and color – to produce logical systems. Most of these systems were finite; that is, they were complete using all possible variations. This kept them simple. – Sol LeWitt

99491. Just as the development of earth art and installation art stemmed from the idea of taking art out of the galleries, the basis of my involvement with public art is a continuation of wall drawings. – Sol LeWitt

99492. Minimal art went nowhere. – Sol LeWitt

99493. The artist is seen like a producer of commodities, like a factory that turns our refrigerators. – Sol LeWitt

99494. The narrative of serial art works more like music than like literature. – Sol LeWitt

99498. All the learning in the world cannot replace instinct. – Robert Ley

99499. Germany has been born anew. – Robert Ley

99500. He who does not believe has no soul. He is empty. He has no ideals. He has nothing to live for. He has no sunshine, no light, no joy in life. He is a poor, poor man. – Robert Ley

99501. A leader who loses his connection to his people soon loses the ability to lead them. – Robert Ley

99502. The Fuhrer is always right. Every last citizen must say this. – Robert Ley

99503. Understanding sometimes is not enough to explain something. – Robert Ley

99504. We believe that Almighty God has sent us Adolf Hitler so that he may rid Germany of the hypocrites and Pharisees. – Robert Ley

99505. What is good for Germany is right, and everything that harms Germany is wrong. – Robert Ley

99506. Yes, you who called us godless, we found our faith in Adolf Hitler, and through him found God once again. That is the greatness of our day, that is our good fortune! – Robert Ley

99507. Only faith is sufficient. – Robert Ley

99508. The study of an idea is, of necessity, the story of many things. – Willy Ley

99509. Ideas, like large rivers, never have just one source. – Willy Ley

99510. Just as the water of a river near its mouth, in its final form, is composed largely of many tributaries, so an idea, in its final form, is composed largely of later additions. – Willy Ley

99511. I’m looking forward to providing the men of Seattle with an evening where they can kick back, light up a cigar and enjoy a night to themselves. Women, we can’t technically keep you out, but please stay at home. – Tom Leykis

99512. There really is no Johnny Carson anymore. There is no one place a comedian can appear and explode. – Tom Leykis

99513. There’s a difference… between the kind of woman you would bang and the kind of woman you would marry. – Tom Leykis

99514. 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

99515. Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope. – Jet Li

99516. Zhang Yimou is one of the best directors on mainland China. – Jet Li

99517. Zhang Yimou is an artist. Sometimes we did only two or three shots a day because we were waiting for the sun. – Jet Li

99518. Zhang is a friend of mine: he said forget about acting and just do normal things in the movie. – Jet Li

99519. You can use martial arts to tell a different story. Ang Lee used martial arts in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” to talk about love. – Jet Li

99520. Wushu is a move in Chinese, a physical move. An attack. Wushu is like an art. – Jet Li

99521. When I lived in Hong Kong, I felt that Hong Kong is my family. – Jet Li

99522. Bruce Lee was very famous. I watched his movies and he is amazing. He is a martial arts master, his philosophy, his movement, both physically and mentally, were very strong. – Jet Li

99523. This film “Hero” talks about the peace of Chinese people. – Jet Li

99524. Every President that went to China, I would meet them and have dinner and talk about the past and the future. That was in the ’70s. – Jet Li

99525. I spend more time learning about Buddhism than English, which is why my English today is still bad. – Jet Li

99526. My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures. – Jet Li

99527. Love is more powerful than kicking ass. – Jet Li

99528. I’ve been learning martial arts since I was 8 years old. – Jet Li

99529. I want to thank my mum, my daddy, my coach, my teacher, everybody in my life. – Jet Li

99530. A weapon isn’t good or bad, depends on the person who uses it. – Jet Li

99531. I study more of truth and enlightening. I had to go the next level to talk about life. – Jet Li

99532. Everywhere I go, I still have time to meditate. People think meditating is sitting there, nobody bothering you, but you can even talk and still meditate. – Jet Li

99533. I never stopped studying Buddhism. In the past few years, in between movies, I do a retreat. – Jet Li

99534. I need to talk about Chinese culture. We have deep, strong philosophy and culture. I want to share some information, tell the worldwide audience. – Jet Li

99535. I knew nothing about martial arts. The coach told me I was talented with learning martial arts, and put me in a school. Three years later I got my first championship in China. – Jet Li

99536. I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other. – Jet Li

99537. Hero shows you how to solve the problem – yourself. – Jet Li

99538. I think “Hero” is not a real martial arts movie; it is not about violence, or formula. – Jet Li

99543. Most achievements in science are to a certain degree group efforts. – Willard Libby

99544. The future of the world, dependent as it is upon atomic energy, requires more understanding and knowledge about the atom. – Willard Libby

99545. And yet the Nobel Prizes, in singling out individuals, have done a great deal of good in pointing up to the world as a whole and setting forth clearly goals for achievement. – Willard Libby

99546. True, the initial ideas are in general those of an individual, but the establishment of the reality and truth is in general the work of more than one person. – Willard Libby

99547. I cried all the way to the bank. – Liberace

99548. When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank. – Liberace

99549. You can have either the Resurrection or you can have Liberace. But you can’t have both. – Liberace

99550. You know that bank I used to cry all the way to? I bought it. – Liberace

99551. When you’re a kid with artistic yearnings brought up in the Bronx, you don’t get fed up too easily. – Daniel Libeskind

99552. Life it is not just a series of calculations and a sum total of statistics, it’s about experience, it’s about participation, it is something more complex and more interesting than what is obvious. – Daniel Libeskind

99553. Only through acknowledgment of the erasure and void of Jewish life can the history of Berlin and Europe have a human future. – Daniel Libeskind

99554. The foreign press seems obsessed with the Freedom Tower, as if it was the only thing going on here. In fact, we’re trying to keep a huge juggling act in balance, with the tower as just one of the many balls in play. – Daniel Libeskind

99555. There are more people living in Lower Manhattan now than before the terrorist attacks. That’s faith for you. There’s such a strong spirit here. – Daniel Libeskind

99557. We all came to see that site. We all walked around it. It is already sacred. – Daniel Libeskind

99558. We will work with everybody for the good of New York. – Daniel Libeskind

99559. Larry wanted us to reposition the tower. We wouldn’t, and won’t. He’s been holding back our fees. We want to get paid. And that’s it. It’ll get solved and we’ll carry on with planning Ground Zero. – Daniel Libeskind

99560. Well, I think one doesn’t really have to invent this memorial space, because it is already there. And it is speaking with a voice and, you know, 4 million of us came to see the site. – Daniel Libeskind

99561. The Spiral Gallery may happen, too. It is not dependent on government funding. – Daniel Libeskind

99562. Winning a competition in architecture is a ticket to oblivion. It’s just an idea. Ninety-nine per cent never get built. – Daniel Libeskind

99563. Well, I didn’t want to have the reminder sort of in the sky, so that people would forever look at it. I wanted to have – really to create a city from the bottom up. From that foundation, which held, from the democratic power of what the site really is. – Daniel Libeskind

99564. And you have to remember that I came to America as an immigrant. You know, on a ship, through the Statue of Liberty. And I saw that skyline, not just as a representation of steel and concrete and glass, but as really the substance of the American Dream. – Daniel Libeskind

99565. There will be a competition for the memorial. And then it can be developed with trees, with planting. It can become a very beautiful place protected from the streets, because it is below. And it can be something very moving and very private. – Daniel Libeskind

99566. It’s about how to bring together the seemingly contradictory aspects of the memorial, which is about a tragedy and how it changed the world, but also about creating a vital and beautiful city of the 21st century. – Daniel Libeskind

99567. And it is very moving because one has to see the site not as just another site of development but it is a very special site. It is a site that souls and hearts of all Americans. – Daniel Libeskind

99568. And then, build a bustling wonderful city of the 21st century, with a restoration of a spectacular skyline, which Manhattan, of course, needs. So, that is really the design as a whole. – Daniel Libeskind

99569. Cities are the greatest creations of humanity. – Daniel Libeskind

99570. I don’t get to sleep when I’m in New York. Really. I’m living on adrenaline. – Daniel Libeskind

99572. I think there is a new awareness in this 21st century that design is as important to where and how we live as it is for museums, concert halls and civic buildings. – Daniel Libeskind

99573. I’m not Candide, nor Dr Pangloss, but we know that faith moves mountains. – Daniel Libeskind

99574. It’s a fantastic responsibility and a wonderful moment. – Daniel Libeskind

99575. It’s a project that touched me as an immigrant and as a New Yorker. – Daniel Libeskind

99576. And of course I like Berlin a lot. It’s such an interesting city. – Daniel Libeskind

99577. The pleasures of the imagination are as it were only drawings and models which are played with by poor people who cannot afford the real thing. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99578. The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to is the reason so many good minds are idle. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99579. One must judge men not by their opinions, but by what their opinions have made of them. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99580. The fly that doesn’t want to be swatted is most secure when it lights on the fly-swatter. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99581. The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99582. The most perfect ape cannot draw an ape; only man can do that; but, likewise, only man regards the ability to do this as a sign of superiority. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99589. Once we know our weaknesses they cease to do us any harm. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99590. Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99591. Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99592. There are people who possess not so much genius as a certain talent for perceiving the desires of the century, or even of the decade, before it has done so itself. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99593. With a pen in my hand I have successfully stormed bulwarks from which others armed with sword and excommunication have been repulsed. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99594. One might call habit a moral friction: something that prevents the mind from gliding over things but connects it with them and makes it hard for it to free itself from them. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99595. We cannot remember too often that when we observe nature, and especially the ordering of nature, it is always ourselves alone we are observing. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99598. With most people disbelief in a thing is founded on a blind belief in some other thing. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99599. Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99601. Nowadays three witty turns of phrase and a lie make a writer. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99602. What is called an acute knowledge of human nature is mostly nothing but the observer’s own weaknesses reflected back from others. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99603. What is the good of drawing conclusions from experience? I don’t deny we sometimes draw the right conclusions, but don’t we just as often draw the wrong ones? – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99604. We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He who understands the wise is wise already. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99605. There are very many people who read simply to prevent themselves from thinking. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99606. We are obliged to regard many of our original minds as crazy at least until we have become as clever as they are. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99607. We accumulate our opinions at an age when our understanding is at its weakest. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99608. To grow wiser means to learn to know better and better the faults to which this instrument with which we feel and judge can be subject. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99609. To err is human also in so far as animals seldom or never err, or at least only the cleverest of them do so. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99610. To do the opposite of something is also a form of imitation, namely an imitation of its opposite. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99625. Many things about our bodies would not seem to us so filthy and obscene if we did not have the idea of nobility in our heads. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99626. Be wary of passing the judgment: obscure. To find something obscure poses no difficult, elephants and poodles find many things obscure. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99627. Actual aristocracy cannot be abolished by any law: all the law can do is decree how it is to be imparted and who is to acquire it. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99636. Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinion at all. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99637. Nothing can contribute more to peace of soul than the lack of any opinion whatever. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99638. Much can be inferred about a man from his mistress: in her one beholds his weaknesses and his dreams. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99639. Man loves company – even if it is only that of a small burning candle. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99640. Man is a masterpiece of creation if for no other reason than that, all the weight of evidence for determinism notwithstanding, he believes he has free will. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99641. Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times before they’re worn out and times – and this is the worst of all – before we have new ones. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99642. If people should ever start to do only what is necessary millions would die of hunger. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99651. It is in the gift for employing all the vicissitudes of life to one’s own advantage and to that of one’s craft that a large part of genius consists. – Georg C. Lichtenberg

99652. I’m interested in what would normally be considered the worst aspects of commercial art. I think it’s the tension between what seems to be so rigid and cliched and the fact that art really can’t be this way. – Roy Lichtenstein

99653. Yes, you know sometimes, we started out thinking out how strange our painting was next to normal painting, which was anything expressionist. You forget that this has been thirty five years now and people don’t look at it as if it were some kind of oddity. – Roy Lichtenstein

99654. There is a relationship between cartooning and people like Mir= and Picasso which may not be understood by the cartoonist, but it definitely is related even in the early Disney. – Roy Lichtenstein

99655. Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn’t look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself. – Roy Lichtenstein

99658. In America the biggest is the best. – Roy Lichtenstein

99659. I’m not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I don’t really want it to carry one. I’m not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way. – Roy Lichtenstein

99660. Yeah, you know, you like it to come on like gangbusters, but you get into passages that are very interesting and subtle, and sometimes your original intent changes quite a bit. – Roy Lichtenstein

99661. I think we’re much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there’s another purpose to it. – Roy Lichtenstein

99662. I think that most people think painters are kind of ridiculous, you know? – Roy Lichtenstein

99663. I suppose I would still prefer to sit under a tree with a picnic basket rather than under a gas pump, but signs and comic strips are interesting as subject matter. – Roy Lichtenstein

99664. I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me. – Roy Lichtenstein

99665. I kind of do the drawing with the painting in mind, but it’s very hard to guess at a size or a color and all the colors around it and what it will really look like. – Roy Lichtenstein

99666. I don’t think that I’m over his influence but they probably don’t look like Picassos; Picasso himself would probably have thrown up looking at my pictures. – Roy Lichtenstein

99667. I don’t have big anxieties. I wish I did. I’d be much more interesting. – Roy Lichtenstein

99668. But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it. – Roy Lichtenstein

99669. Art doesn’t transform. It just plain forms. – Roy Lichtenstein

99670. You know, as you compose music, you’re just off in your own world. You have no idea where reality is, so to have an idea of what people think is pretty hard. – Roy Lichtenstein

99671. But usually I begin things through a drawing, so a lot of things are worked out in the drawing. But even then, I still allow for and want to make changes. – Roy Lichtenstein

99685. There are three subjects on which the knowledge of the medical profession in general is woefully weak; they are manners, morals, and medicine. – Gerald F. Lieberman

99686. Where there is life there is wishful thinking. – Gerald F. Lieberman

99687. Traditionally the great men of our country have sprung from poor environments; that being so, it would appear we have long suffered from a severe lack of poverty. – Gerald F. Lieberman

99688. In our society a man is known by the company he owns. – Gerald F. Lieberman

99689. It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find. – Gerald F. Lieberman

99691. Divorce is a declaration of independence with only two signers. – Gerald F. Lieberman

99692. It is unfair to believe everything we hear about lawyers, some of it might not be true. – Gerald F. Lieberman

99693. I’ve spent the last year listening to Americans, and the state of the union that George W. Bush lives in is very different from the state that most hardworking Americans are living in. – Joe Lieberman

99694. You know, I respect what Howard Dean has been able to do. It’s good for our party. But I’ve got to tell you this: If money alone decided presidential nominations, Phil Gramm would have been nominated in ’96. – Joe Lieberman

99695. We need to ensure our men and women in uniform are equipped with the very best money can buy. We also have to make sure critical military technologies are developed in America and that the U.S. defense manufacturing base remains healthy and strong. – Joe Lieberman

99696. We must not condemn to frustration those whose job it is to protect us by failing to provide them with the necessary resources to meet the threats they face. – Joe Lieberman

99697. We have the largest economy and the strongest military in the world. Our core values of freedom and opportunity are ascendant around the globe. – Joe Lieberman

99698. Today, we can see with our own eyes what global warming is doing. In that context it becomes truly irresponsible, if not immoral, for us not to do something. – Joe Lieberman

99699. This is an exciting time. I believe we stand at the edge of a new age – a Golden Age – of freedom that will rival any of the great eras of world history because it will be the entire world itself that is changing. – Joe Lieberman

99700. The way we’re really going to grow the economy is to invest in people, to invest in innovation, to have the federal government put money in the kind of research that will create the new high-technology, biotechnology industries that will create the millions of new jobs. – Joe Lieberman

99701. The promise of education reform can never be fulfilled without adequate funding, and by shortchanging our schools, President Bush is breaking his promise to our children. – Joe Lieberman

99702. Some in my party threaten to send a message that they don’t know a just war when they see it, and more broadly that they’re not prepared to use our military strength to protect our security and the cause of freedom. – Joe Lieberman

99703. In this era of uncertainty and conflict, the United States – blessed with the world’s strongest military, most ingenious economy, and most tolerant society – remains a model and leader to the world. – Joe Lieberman

99704. Every day Saddam remains in power with chemical weapons, biological weapons, and the development of nuclear weapons is a day of danger for the United States. – Joe Lieberman

99705. We have reached an important milestone and achieved a new momentum in reaching a goal all Americans should embrace – building a secure, peaceful, democratic Iraq that is no longer a threat to the United States or the international community. – Joe Lieberman

99706. Community means engaging constructively with like-minded nations to build strong, sustaining institutions and alliances – and bringing emerging powers into this community so future conflict becomes less likely. – Joe Lieberman

99707. I urge the Bush Administration to rethink its priorities. We can’t talk about community values without being prepared to invest in those very same communities. – Joe Lieberman

99708. Every day, first responders put their own lives on the line to ensure our safety. The least we can do is make sure they have the tools to protect and serve their communities. – Joe Lieberman

99709. Global warming is not a conqueror to kneel before – but a challenge to rise to. A challenge we must rise to. – Joe Lieberman

99710. I also know that there have been many times in our history when the proximity of an election has induced exactly the kind of leadership and consensus-building that produce progress in our democracy. – Joe Lieberman

99711. I also urge the Obama administration – both on its own and in cooperation with other responsible governments around the world – to use all legal means necessary to shut down WikiLeaks before it can do more damage by releasing additional cables. WikiLeaks’ activities represent a shared threat to collective international security. – Joe Lieberman

99712. I believe that our national security lies not just in protecting our borders, but in bridging divides. – Joe Lieberman

99713. I share the anger, but, ultimately, to govern this country, it takes more than anger. It takes experience. It takes positions that reflect the best values of the American people. – Joe Lieberman

99714. I support development and deployment of a limited national missile defense. Few if any of our duties surpass our obligation to provide for the common defense of our nation. – Joe Lieberman

99715. Family traditions counter alienation and confusion. They help us define who we are; they provide something steady, reliable and safe in a confusing world. – Susan Lieberman

99716. By building relations we create a source of love and personal pride and belonging that makes living in a chaotic world easier. – Susan Lieberman

99717. Show me an orchestra that likes its conductor and I’ll show you a lousy conductor. – Goddard Lieberson

99720. For capitalism, war and peace are business and nothing but business. – Karl Liebknecht

99722. Class struggle: external peace, international solidarity, peace among peoples. This is the sacred slogan of international socialist democracy that liberates nations. – Karl Liebknecht

99729. Through this experience we have been warned – learn everything, don’t forget anything! – Karl Liebknecht

99730. To the socialist no nation is free whose national existence is based upon the enslavement of another people, for to him colonial peoples, too, are peoples, and, as such, parts of the national state. – Karl Liebknecht

99731. Workers, comrades, and you, women of the people, let not this festival of May, the second during the war, pass without protest against the Imperialist Slaughter. – Karl Liebknecht

99749. I can write better than anybody who can write faster, and I can write faster than anybody who can write better. – A. J. Liebling

99757. Is there a doctor in the house? My parents want me to marry you. – Wendy Liebman

99758. My mom was a ventriloquist and she always was throwing her voice. For ten years I thought the dog was telling me to kill my father. – Wendy Liebman

99759. Certainly after the tragedy in Neil’s life, we were holding out hope for his recovery. It wasn’t too promising at the time and obviously you get to the point of thinking that that is it. – Alex Lifeson

99760. I’d say we do reach somewhat of a younger audience, but I think for the most part that younger audience is picking our music up from a brother or sister or even parent, who is turning them onto the band. – Alex Lifeson

99761. And on top of that, when we work together we have a wonderful working relationship we push each other we challenge each other we laugh 80% of the time that we are together we’re very fortunate. – Alex Lifeson

99762. At the same time, I’ve never been afraid of death or the concept of death. – Alex Lifeson

99763. Both Neil and I had done solo projects where we were the boss and I just thought that if he was willing to get into it, it would really be a good experience for him. – Alex Lifeson

99764. But I think the credit has to go to Geddy… he spent a lot of time in the studio with Paul, I think he needed that kind of focus to be in there to be a part of the whole thing, and for the most part he made all the major decisions. – Alex Lifeson

99765. But when Neil called, I have to say that my heart soared. And the reason was, because it said so much about his recovery… that he was coming back to the world of the living. – Alex Lifeson

99766. When we signed our deal in 1974, we’d already been together for six years. When they lowered the drinking age in Ontario in 1971 to 18 years, we went from playing two or three high schools in a month to playing clubs two or three times a week. – Alex Lifeson

99767. I think that’s given inspiration to other musicians. I know, particularly through the 90s, a lot of bands would cite Rush as an influence. I don’t think it was so much our music, but more the way we really stuck to our guns. – Alex Lifeson

99768. You know, we have a long history of covering different periods of this band’s development with a live record… a sort of live thing that would be done for three or four records, and that was the intention with this particular package. – Alex Lifeson

99769. When I look out at the audience at some of our shows, I think we are reaching a younger audience… I see lots of people in their 30s and 40s, but I also see a lot of people in their young and middle teens, and that’s definitely reassuring. – Alex Lifeson

99770. We’ve managed to have a long career that is still quite vibrant, yet we’ve never had to kow-tow to record companies who said we weren’t commercial enough. – Alex Lifeson

99771. The shock of any trauma, I think changes your life. It’s more acute in the beginning and after a little time you settle back to what you were. However it leaves an indelible mark on your psyche. – Alex Lifeson

99772. Rush has never been a spontaneous group. We may be spontaneous in our writing, we may be spontaneous as individuals in our day to day lives… certainly I think am and always have been, but I think when it comes to Rush and our presentation of our music it’s quite controlled. – Alex Lifeson

99773. If there was any one achievement, it would be that we’ve have done it on our own terms. – Alex Lifeson

99774. I think we’re quite unique in that we do have our own sound and approach and we don’t really care what’s going on elsewhere… we’ve never wanted to be part of another trend or movement. – Alex Lifeson

99775. I mean, you go to the internet and you can see all these conversations and arguments that our fans have about our music and that’s wonderful to know, that people would take the time to be that involved. – Alex Lifeson

99776. Yes, I’ve been very preoccupied with the survivor all through my work. – Robert Jay Lifton

99777. I never quite envisioned myself a proper doctor under that white coat, but I was interested in the idea of healing and in the psychological dimension rather early on. – Robert Jay Lifton

99778. I struggled with each of these studies and I was uncertain about what they meant, and often confused, and then I tried to put together what I was seeing. – Robert Jay Lifton

99779. What I found was when I started my first study, and then in subsequent studies, is here you have people under some kind of duress, or I chose to study them because they represented some kind of historical event, as it impacted on them or as they helped to create it. – Robert Jay Lifton

99780. The other thing that happened was my last military assignment – this was in the air force; I had enlisted in order to avoid being drafted as a private, and of course I only practiced medicine or psychiatry in the air force so I was never in any kind of violent combat. – Robert Jay Lifton

99781. That is, we are bombarded by all kinds of images and influences and we have to fend some of them off if we’re to take in any of them, or to carry through just our ordinary day’s work, or really deepen whatever we have to do or say. – Robert Jay Lifton

99782. Sometimes it’s said that psychiatrists are doctors who are frightened by the sight of blood. I might have fallen into that category. – Robert Jay Lifton

99783. One reason that I embarked on a study of Nazi doctors was that in this personal journey, I had the feeling increasingly that I did want to do a Holocaust study and that increasingly I wanted it to be of perpetrators, which I thought was more needed. – Robert Jay Lifton

99784. It was because of my deep concerns about nuclear weapons that I went to Hiroshima. And then I was astounded in Hiroshima to find that nobody had really studied it. – Robert Jay Lifton

99785. It may sound terrible, but I often say that the military saved me from a conventional life in the United States and I’ve never really thanked them for it, because I haven’t exactly been pro-military in my work. – Robert Jay Lifton

99786. When I was still in my psychiatric residency training in New York City, I was subjected to the doctor draft of that time, during the early fifties, at the time of the Korean War. – Robert Jay Lifton

99787. As a kid I was fascinated with sports, and I loved sports more than anything else. The first books I read were about sports, like books about Baseball Joe, as one baseball hero was called. – Robert Jay Lifton

99788. I’m a Brooklyn boy. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised there, and spent most of my childhood there. – Robert Jay Lifton

99789. Again, I was influenced by my father, who was very much an atheist and took pride in combating the traditional or orthodox forms of Judaism, which his parents and which my mother’s parents were very steeped in. – Robert Jay Lifton

99790. And I thought about the psychic numbing involved in strategic projections of using hydrogen bombs or nuclear weapons of any kind. And I also thought about ways in which all of us undergo what could be called the numbing of everyday life. – Robert Jay Lifton

99791. But I spent just two calendar years at Cornell University, though it was covering more than three years of work, and then went to medical school and did become interested in psychiatry, and even helped form a kind of psychiatry club in medical school. – Robert Jay Lifton

99792. But when I went to Hiroshima and began to study or just listen to people’s descriptions of their work, it was quite clear they were talking about death all the time, about people dying all around them, about their own fear of death. – Robert Jay Lifton

99793. Every adult in the world has some sense that he or she might be obliterated at any time by these weapons that we have created. – Robert Jay Lifton

99794. I did the first study because I had been exposed to something that I took to be important and interesting – this thought reform process – in the military. – Robert Jay Lifton

99795. I don’t have the feeling that as a very young person I read books that absolutely made their mark on my mind. – Robert Jay Lifton

99796. I learned a lot from Vietnam veterans, especially as some of them turned against their own war. – Robert Jay Lifton

99797. And I managed to arrange to get some research support and to stay in Hong Kong for another year and a half, interviewing people coming out of China, both Westerners and Chinese. And that was my first real research study on thought reform or so-called brainwashing. – Robert Jay Lifton

99802. Yes, fractals are what I want to find in my music. – Gyorgy Ligeti

99803. When I was younger I was completely without money – when I was studying in Budapest, when I was a refugee. – Gyorgy Ligeti

99804. Then, after the war it was impossible to travel, after so many years of Hitler and Stalin. – Gyorgy Ligeti

99805. Stravinsky used Mother Goose. He was influenced by Mother Goose, indirectly, but very beautifully. – Gyorgy Ligeti

99806. Steinberg is great. I should like to meet him. – Gyorgy Ligeti

99807. Perhaps the better word is emotional yes, I am an emotional man. – Gyorgy Ligeti

99808. Once, in London, the BBC asked me what was my favorite English book. I said Alice in Wonderland. – Gyorgy Ligeti

99809. I lived under the Nazis and under the Communists. – Gyorgy Ligeti

99810. People often thought Leopold Auer was Russian because he lived in St. Petersburg so long, almost fifty years. – Gyorgy Ligeti

99811. I don’t use old music. – Gyorgy Ligeti

99812. I only want to give a metaphysic for my music. – Gyorgy Ligeti

99952.

99958. The press has met their Waterloo, and it’s Obama. – Rush Limbaugh

99959. Our nation was created in ways that allow human potential to prosper, and it created the greatest nation for people in the history of humanity.

99960. The message that President Obama delivered in his speech at Notre Dame was: morality is immoral. Pro-life is the extremist position, not a moral position.

99966. Obama’s health care plan will be written by a committee whose head, John Conyers, says he doesn’t understand it.

99985. Football is like life and I know life. – Rush Limbaugh

99986. Government stimulates the democrat party. – Rush Limbaugh

99987. Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old – old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don’t. In both cases we have to DO something. – Rush Limbaugh

99988. Let me tell you who we conservatives are: we love people. When we look out over the United States of America, when we are anywhere, when we see a group of people, such as this or anywhere, we see Americans. We see human beings. We don’t see groups. We don’t see victims. – Rush Limbaugh

99989. Folks, the most insidious part of this whole health care scheme is that all of these vast medical expenditures will become nothing more than government budget items. We individuals will no longer exist. The relationship between a government and citizen will change forever. – Rush Limbaugh
