100423. Yeah, well my name is Bai Ling. That means white spirit, and I really feel like sometimes I’m not existing. – Bai Ling

100426. I’m a person that doesn’t have that many goals or plans. I feel like I’m the wind and I blow through life; it’s whatever comes to me. I very much respect nature. Whatever happens to me, I’m happy and I embrace it. – Bai Ling

100430. English is my second language, but in Hong Kong, they don’t know that I’m from China. They think I’m from Hollywood because all the films they see are from here. China and Hong Kong are very different places, but they’re starting to merge. Still the culture is very different. – Bai Ling

100431. But somehow I feel like still it’s a gift, and I wonder, how can I give this gift to others? Just work hard, and do whatever I can do, to be that, and to return the love to the fans. I like to give them joy and smiles to them. Give back to them. – Bai Ling

100432. I think sometimes I’m more fond of doing the research for the character because you learn so much. Sometimes shooting is really difficult because you wake up early and you’re always hurrying. And sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m here and there. – Bai Ling

100798. I always admired Wonder Woman and the Incredible Hulk – but I don’t know if I’d be a very convincing hulk. – Lucy Liu

100799. Everything I buy is vintage and smells funny. Maybe that’s why I don’t have a boyfriend. – Lucy Liu

100800. Being Asian in this business is something you have to consider, because sometimes people aren’t as open. They’ll say, I can’t see you with a Caucasian person. – Lucy Liu

100805. Everybody on our cast is very musically talented, except for me. – Blake Lively

100806. The Green Lantern is a unique superhero because it’s not that he’s super that is his focus; it’s that he’s a man. He’s very human. That’s his greatest strength and his greatest weakness. – Blake Lively

100808. I can’t believe we’re being paid to live in New York. – Blake Lively

100809. I grew up with the mindset that when you get home from work, you go to dinner and watch a movie. I don’t want to be going to a club and taking off my panties. – Blake Lively

100810. I had a lot of friends in high school, but I was never the wild party girl. Never have been, never plan to be! – Blake Lively

100811. My whole family’s been in the business. My whole family is crazy. – Blake Lively

100812. I was raised in California, so this whole New York winter thing is completely new for me. I’ve already justified buying seven coats! – Blake Lively

100813. If you ever want something badly, let it go. If it comes back to you, then it’s yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never yours to begin with. – Blake Lively

100814. In high school, there are so many cliques. You’re never safe. – Blake Lively

100816. I love being at home and cooking and baking. – Blake Lively

100817. I came from a big family – two brothers and two sisters. So, there were always a ton of boys around and a ton of girls around. So, I grew up comfortable with both sexes. – Blake Lively

100818. The consideration of change over the century is about loss, though I think that social change is gain rather than loss. – Penelope Lively

100819. The Photograph is concerned with the power that the past has to interfere with the present: the time bomb in the cupboard. – Penelope Lively

100820. The pleasure of writing fiction is that you are always spotting some new approach, an alternative way of telling a story and manipulating characters; the novel is such a wonderfully flexible form. – Penelope Lively

100821. The present hardly exists, after all-it becomes the past even as it happens. A tricky medium, time – and central to the concerns of fiction. – Penelope Lively

100822. There’s a preoccupation with memory and the operation of memory and a rather rapacious interest in history. – Penelope Lively

100823. We read Greek and Norse mythology until it came out of our ears. And the Bible. – Penelope Lively

100824. Since then, I have just read and read – but, that said, I suppose there is a raft of writers to whom I return again and again, not so much because I want to write like them, even if I were capable of it, but simply for a sort of stylistic shot in the arm. – Penelope Lively

100825. We make choices but are constantly foiled by happenstance. – Penelope Lively

100826. We all need a past – that’s where our sense of identity comes from. – Penelope Lively

100829. Getting to know someone else involves curiosity about where they have come from, who they are. – Penelope Lively

100833. Deep down I have this atavistic feeling that really I should be in the country. – Penelope Lively

100838. I didn’t write anything until I was well over 30. – Penelope Lively

100839. All I know for certain is that reading is of the most intense importance to me; if I were not able to read, to revisit old favorites and experiment with names new to me, I would be starved – probably too starved to go on writing myself. – Penelope Lively

100840. I have long been interested in landscape history, and when younger and more robust I used to do much tramping of the English landscape in search of ancient field systems, drove roads, indications of prehistoric settlement. – Penelope Lively

100841. I rather like getting away from fiction. – Penelope Lively

100842. I’m intrigued by the way in which physical appearance can often direct a person’s life; things happen differently for a beautiful woman than for a plain one. – Penelope Lively

100843. I’m not an historian and I’m not wanting to write about how I perceive the social change over the century as a historian, but as somebody who’s walked through it and whose life has been dictated by it too, as all our lives are. – Penelope Lively

100844. I’m not an historian but I can get interested – obsessively interested – with any aspect of the past, whether it’s palaeontology or archaeology or the very recent past. – Penelope Lively

100846. I’m writing another novel and I know what I’m going to do after, which may be something more like this again, maybe some strange mixture of fiction and non-fiction. – Penelope Lively

100847. I’ve always been fascinated by the operation of memory – the way in which it is not linear but fragmented, and its ambivalence. – Penelope Lively

100848. It seems to me that everything that happens to us is a disconcerting mix of choice and contingency. – Penelope Lively

100849. I didn’t want it to be a book that made pronouncements. – Penelope Lively

100850. It isn’t as important to buy as cheap as possible as it is to buy at the right time. – Jesse Livermore

100857. I’d play with these Indian players, the tabla and sitar. – Bob Livingston

100858. I stepped back from being out front to playing bass. So we started switching: I’d play bass on one song, we’d switch on the next song; I’d play piano… we’d play mandolin. – Bob Livingston

100859. I had never, ever drunk beer in high school, and by the time I got to Tech we were having these parties out in the cotton fields and getting so drunk. I was the champion beer drinker; suddenly I was pouring it down my throat… Insane! Insane! – Bob Livingston

100860. I don’t wanta do any Blues or any sad songs. – Bob Livingston

100861. Here I was, this good guy that played football; I was gonna go play in college but I had a bad senior year. But I played guitar in assemblies whenever I could. – Bob Livingston

100866. No nation ever yet found any inconvenience from too close an inspection into the conduct of its officers, but many have been brought to ruin and reduced to slavery by suffering gradual impositions and abuses. – Edward Livingston

100867. Now I have children of my own. They ask their mother what will I be. Will I be handsome, will I be rich? – Jay Livingston

100868. Then I grew up and fell in love, I asked my sweetheart, ‘what lies ahead? – Jay Livingston

100869. In corporate levels, it’s all about tailoring your shirt and which tennis club you belong to and which watch you are wearing and what did you shoot last week? – Ron Livingston

100870. It’s kinda cool seeing people having real fights with people they really know. – Ron Livingston

100871. They’re either going to fire you or they’re not. They can only fire you. That’s all they can do. They can’t take your thumbs. – Ron Livingston

100872. There is technique to it-he is just standing there flexing his arm, and I am standing there making faces as if I am being choked. You keep your head in a certain angle for the camera. – Ron Livingston

100873. The real intimidating stuff is the scene where you show up for the first day. You kind of square off, and that is where you look each other in the eye. – Ron Livingston

100874. Life is not always like chess. Just because you have the king surrounded, don’t think he is not capable of hurting you. – Ron Livingston

100875. It’s got to be weird to sit in an office all day and deal with these creative types without having any idea of what they do or how they do it. – Ron Livingston

100876. It all comes down to probable cause: If you think something’s up, maybe you gotta take a look. – Ron Livingston

100877. If you play your cards right things are going to happen in the long run. In the short run, it is anybody’s guess. – Ron Livingston

100878. If I’m in something funny, I like to try and find some kind of serious line in it that people can relate to. – Ron Livingston

100879. I would worry if people always associated me with Larry Sokolov. – Ron Livingston

100880. I don’t always get to do a lot of bad guys. – Ron Livingston

100881. Eric McCormack is directing talent waiting to happen. – Ron Livingston

100882. Any time you do physical stuff, violence, it is controlled. It’s a little bit like you block the move. – Ron Livingston

100883. A lot of the stuff I have done had been not only the likable guy, but like the nice likable guy. – Ron Livingston

100884. It can be liberating to get fired because you realize the world doesn’t end. There’s other ways to make money, better jobs. – Ron Livingston

100887. I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my purpose. – David Livingstone

100889. I am prepared to go anywhere, provided it be forward. – David Livingstone

100902. Woe to the conquered. – Titus Livius

100903. The sun has not yet set for all time. – Titus Livius

100904. We can endure neither our vices nor the remedies for them. – Titus Livius

100905. Under the influence of fear, which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things, they magnified their enemies’ resources, and minimized their own. – Titus Livius

100906. Truth, they say, is but too often in difficulties, but is never finally suppressed. – Titus Livius

100907. Toil and pleasure, dissimilar in nature, are nevertheless united by a certain natural bond. – Titus Livius

100909. Nowhere are our calculations more frequently upset than in war. – Titus Livius

100910. It is better that a guilty man should not be brought to trial than that he should be acquitted. – Titus Livius

100911. It is easier to criticize than to correct our past errors. – Titus Livius

100912. It is easy at any moment to surrender a large fortune; to build one up is a difficult and an arduous task. – Titus Livius

100913. Luck is of little moment to the great general, for it is under the control of his intellect and his judgment. – Titus Livius

100942. No matter how ephemeral it is, a novel is something, while despair is nothing. – Mario Vargas Llosa

100943. You cannot teach creativity – how to become a good writer. But you can help a young writer discover within himself what kind of writer he would like to be. – Mario Vargas Llosa

100944. Writing a book is a very lonely business. You are totally cut off from the rest of the world, submerged in your obsessions and memories. – Mario Vargas Llosa

100945. There is an incompatibility between literary creation and political activity. – Mario Vargas Llosa

100946. Prosperity or egalitarianism – you have to choose. I favor freedom – you never achieve real equality anyway: you simply sacrifice prosperity for an illusion. – Mario Vargas Llosa

100952. I just sit at the drawing board most of the time. I am used to talking to people. I love going to conventions, getting feedback and talking to people. Some artists don’t. Some artists sit at their drawing board because their personality actually dictates that. – David Lloyd

100953. Alan is a great guy, a terrific guy. We haven’t worked together since then, and he’s always working with different artists. I think he sees different dimensions he can see from different guys. – David Lloyd

100954. When we were talking about this, an idea for this master vigilante, it was an urban guerilla. One of my ideas was that he would be a member of the police force who turned on the government. – David Lloyd

100955. But if you have a point of view and you’re an artist or a writer, it’s kind of crazy to not take advantage of that, especially if you can do something that’s entertaining as well. I’ve done a number of things like that over the years. – David Lloyd

100956. You are not going to get peace with millions of armed men. The chariot of peace cannot advance over a road littered with cannon. – David Lloyd

100957. Alan was always interested in politics in a major way. He actually believes that anarchy is a politically viable system, but I don’t. I was always interested in putting forward the ideas that represented my viewpoint. I feel the same about anything I’m doing. – David Lloyd

100958. We spend more time developing means of escaping our troubles than we do solving the troubles we’re trying to escape from. – David Lloyd

100959. V is like a mythical situation. It’s an allegory for what could happen. V has philosophies within it that actually warn against things like that happening. – David Lloyd

100960. They did offer me a chance of being a V in the crowd, but it’s not my scene. I think they just thought it would be fun for me to do that, but I don’t know. I heard that Stan Lee appears in every movie of his. – David Lloyd

100961. The beginning of Book Three is the last one that I drew, where V’s conducting the 1812 overture. – David Lloyd

100962. Part of the plot was a knock that V wanted to bring down the government and bring chaos. I don’t know why I thought of Guy Fawkes, because it was during the summer. I thought that would be great if he looked like Guy Fawkes, kind of theatrical. – David Lloyd

100963. Kickback is a police thriller which I wrote. I’m very proud of it. I did it in two parts for France because when I wrote it, there wasn’t the audience demand for crime stuff that there is now. – David Lloyd

100964. It’s absolutely of no importance who or what V was under the mask. He isn’t a who or a what, he’s an idea. The thing is, you couldn’t continue it. Now and then the idea of a sequel has been raised, in vague forms, but I think it would be a bad idea. The story’s finished. – David Lloyd

100965. I’ve always been a liberal and I’ve always had strong socialist leanings. – David Lloyd

100966. I’m interested in why people compromise when they shouldn’t. It comes back to what V’s about in a sense. We’ve all got ideals, but given the right circumstances, we’ll forget about them and put them behind us. I’m very interested in why people do that. – David Lloyd

100967. I’m interested in how artists and writers do this, using art as therapy. Escaping into the worlds we create. We’re all victims and few of us are truly free. – David Lloyd

100968. I understand why people do vote on the conservative side of the ticket because people have a tendency to go for strong governments when really, from an idealistic point of view, it’s a bad thing. – David Lloyd

100969. I do like to work on a Marvel method, so if I’ve got the opportunity, and the writer is happy to do it, I like to have a writer detail what happens on a page, but not saying what happens in every scene. – David Lloyd

100970. Our society’s need for escapism has always interested me. – David Lloyd

100971. When I’m old I shall give up writing the big stuff and shall wander round the park thinking of songs. – George Lloyd

100972. The ancient Greeks have a knack of wrapping truths in myths. – George Lloyd

100973. The pain was considerable, but trivial compared with my mental state. – Harold Lloyd

100974. None of us really understood exactly how much Star Wars would affect us for the rest of our lives. – Jake Lloyd

100975. Violence is used to portray what happens in a film. It only helps portray the actors and what they do. I think it is more about the story, when you have something to play off of. – Jake Lloyd

100976. I’ve always wanted to be an action figure. – Jake Lloyd

100977. I only am in this business because I enjoy it. I think that is the only way to be in the business. – Jake Lloyd

100978. I’ve aged, but grown up? No. – Jake Lloyd

100979. I’m one of the ruins that Cromwell knocked about a bit. – Marie Lloyd

100980. The other part of our proposal that gets the ‘dittoheads’ upset is our suggestion that the commercial radio station owners either play by the rules or pay. In other words, if they don’t want to be subject to local criticism of how they are meeting their license obligations, they should pay to support public broadcasters who will operate on behalf of the local community. – Mark Lloyd

100981. If our republican form of government is perishing because communications – the infrastructure of that republic – is under the yoke of international business how, at last, do we save it? We must build a confrontational movement to reclaim our democracy, a movement committed to active and sustained protest against the present order. – Mark Lloyd

100982. It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies. – Mark Lloyd

100983. This… there’s nothing more difficult than this. Because we have really, truly good white people in important positions. And the fact of the matter is that there are a limited number of those positions. And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions we will not change the problem. We’re in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power. – Mark Lloyd

100984. In Venezuela, with Chavez, is really an incredible revolution – a democratic revolution. To begin to put in place things that are going to have an impact on the people of Venezuela. The property owners and the folks who then controlled the media in Venezuela rebelled – worked, frankly, with folks here in the U.S. government – worked to oust him. But he came back with another revolution, and then Chavez began to take very seriously the media in his country. And we’ve had complaints about this ever since. – Mark Lloyd

100985. I don’t really care who gets their inspiration from where, it’s the end results that count. – Robert Lloyd

100986. Slow and steady wins the race. – Robert Lloyd

100987. Judge of a jest when you have done laughing. – Robert Lloyd

100988. I want to do a little bit of everything. I love sci-fi. I think it’s more the characters that draw me towards things. I like strong women. I’m very interested in futuristic stuff, anything. – Sabrina Lloyd

100989. I think anybody would have to be with out common sense to think there weren’t aliens. There are billions of planets, and I am convinced Earth is not the only one that’s inhabited. It would be quite an ego trip to think that. I think about it all the time. – Sabrina Lloyd

100990. I am musical and I enjoy theatre, but I never wanted to just do theatre. I always wanted to go into film. I love film. I loved growing up in the theatre, but I always wanted to do film all along. But, I still pursue music separately. – Sabrina Lloyd

100991. A person’s portrayal on TV isn’t always how someone is. – Sabrina Lloyd

100992. If you wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can’t do better than including everything in the universe that’s potentially available. – Seth Lloyd

100993. At some point, Moore’s law will break down. – Seth Lloyd

100994. Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs. – Seth Lloyd
