103323. I was watching Monster’s Ball, which is a fabulous movie. It’s just a little gem: beautifully shot, and shot in a way I never would have done. It made me feel very old, really, because it wasn’t eccentric for its own sake, it was just very original. – Adrian Lyne

103329. Foxes was a movie that didn’t do a lot of business but it didn’t do too badly critically and eventually they offered me other things. The interesting thing was that next I tried a film called Star Man, which Michael Douglas was producing. – Adrian Lyne

103430. All I do is party. – Shelby Lynne

103431. I like rules that are broken. – Shelby Lynne

103432. I like to make great albums. – Shelby Lynne

103433. That’s what I so admired about Johnny Cash and June Carter. Their music wasn’t a big influence on me. It was their character, their individual styles, what they were like as people. They weren’t afraid to stick out. – Shelby Lynne

103434. When you choose your fields of labor go where nobody else is willing to go. – Mary Lyon

103435. There is nothing in the universe that I fear, but that I shall not know all my duty, or shall fail to do it. – Mary Lyon

103442. When you look at where team sports are going, the National Football League is turning into organized warfare. – Oren Lyons, Jr.

103443. Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold, it is and will be consumed in order to be valorised in a new production: in both cases, the goal is exchange. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103444. What guides Marxism, then, is a different model of society, and a different conception of the function of the knowledge that can be produced by society and acquired from it. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103445. The ruling class is and will continue to be the class of decision makers. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103446. Scientific knowledge is a kind of discourse. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103447. Our working hypothesis is that the status of knowledge is altered as societies enter what is known as the postindustrial age and cultures enter what is known as the postmodern age. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103448. One can decide that the principal role of knowledge is as an indispensable element in the functioning of society, and act in accordance with that decision, only if one has already decided that society is a giant machine. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103449. On the other hand, in a society whose communication component is becoming more prominent day by day, both as a reality and as an issue, it is clear that language assumes a new importance. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103450. Liberalism does not preclude an organisation of the flow of money in which some channels are used in decision making while others are only good for the payment of debts. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103451. Even now it is no longer composed of the traditional political class, but of a composite layer of corporate leaders, high-level administrators, and the heads of the major professional, labor, political, and religious organisations. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103452. What is required of a working hypothesis is a fine capacity for discrimination. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103453. What is new in all of this is that the old poles of attraction represented by nation-states, parties, professions, institutions, and historical traditions are losing their attraction. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103454. Increasingly, the central question is becoming who will have access to the information these machines must have in storage to guarantee that the right decisions are made. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103455. If we wish to discuss knowledge in the most highly developed contemporary society, we must answer the preliminary question of what methodological representation to apply to that society. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103456. A self does not amount to much, but no self is an island; each exists in a fabric of relations that is now more complex and mobile than ever before. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103457. And today more than ever, knowing about that society involves first of all choosing what approach the inquiry will take, and that necessarily means choosing how society can answer. – Jean-Francois Lyotard

103458. A theoretical grounding in agronomy must, therefore, include knowledge of biological laws. – Trofim Lysenko

103459. Darwin himself, in his day, was unable to fight free of the theoretical errors of which he was guilty. It was the classics of Marxism that revealed those errors and pointed them out. – Trofim Lysenko

103460. Close contact between science and the practice of collective farms and State farms creates inexhaustible opportunities for the development of theoretical knowledge, enabling us to learn ever more and more about the nature of living bodies and the soil. – Trofim Lysenko

103461. Darwin himself recorded the fact that he accepted the Malthusian idea. – Trofim Lysenko

103462. And the more profoundly the science of biology reveals the laws of the life and development of living bodies, the more effective is the science of agronomy. – Trofim Lysenko

103463. Agricultural practice served Darwin as the material basis for the elaboration of his theory of Evolution, which explained the natural causation of the adaptation we see in the structure of the organic world. That was a great advance in the knowledge of living nature. – Trofim Lysenko

103464. Even when Darwin’s teaching first made its appearance, it became clear at once that its scientific, materialist core, its teaching concerning the evolution of living nature, was antagonistic to the idealism that reigned in biology. – Trofim Lysenko

103465. A major fault, for example, is the fact that, along with the materialist principle, Darwin introduced into his theory of evolution reactionary Malthusian ideas. – Trofim Lysenko

103466. Darwin investigated the numerous facts obtained by naturalists in living nature and analysed them through the prism of practical experience. – Trofim Lysenko

103467. In essence, the science of agronomy is inseparable from biology. – Trofim Lysenko

103468. Darwinism as presented by Darwin contradicted idealistic philosophy, and this contradiction grew deeper with the development of its materialist teaching. – Trofim Lysenko

103469. The classics of Marxism, while fully appreciating the significance of the Darwinian theory, pointed out the errors of which Darwin was guilty. Darwin’s theory, though unquestionably materialist in its main features, is not free from some serious errors. – Trofim Lysenko

103470. Progressively thinking biologists, both in our country and abroad, saw in Darwinism the only right road to the further development of scientific biology. – Trofim Lysenko

103471. In the present epoch of struggle between two worlds the two opposing and antagonistic trends penetrating the foundations of nearly all branches of biology are particularly sharply defined. – Trofim Lysenko

103472. For me, it’s a bigger challenge, it’s much harder to do and much more rewarding to do well, then just to think up stuff of your own, hit or miss, because you’ve got to see to it that you don’t torpedo any of his punch lines. – Humphrey Lyttelton

103473. Well, I had started a program which is even longer running than this one in 1967 which was a jazz program called The Best of Jazz and that still goes out on Monday nights. That’s been going for 33 years or something. – Humphrey Lyttelton

103474. The secret of it is to read what you’ve got in front of you. Don’t, if you suspect that something has a double meaning, don’t pause. Don’t put on a leery vocal expression if you know what I mean on radio. Don’t sort of do anything other than read it. – Humphrey Lyttelton

103475. It is a very wide range of people that we get for the show. – Humphrey Lyttelton

103476. I used to look at these pictures of trumpeters pointing their instrument to the ceiling. Stunning pictures, but if you play the trumpet and point it upwards, all the spit comes back into your mouth! – Humphrey Lyttelton

103477. I started on the fringes of journalism as a cartoonist on The Daily Mail. – Humphrey Lyttelton

103478. I did the pilot, and when they came through and said they were going to put it on the air, I had already some dates in the book with my band and so on. So Barry did the first one, he may have done a few more than the first one in the series, and I took it up from then. – Humphrey Lyttelton

103479. An uncle gave me a side drum and my mother decided I should have lessons. – Humphrey Lyttelton

103480. I just stroll in right before the recording goes on. – Humphrey Lyttelton

103481. Many of the Central Asians know Russian, and Ted Levin speaks it fluently. I speak Chinese, but Mongolian is completely different, so we had to have translators. – Yo-Yo Ma

103482. But an innovation, to grow organically from within, has to be based on an intact tradition, so our idea is to bring together musicians who represent all these traditions, in workshops, festivals, and concerts, to see how we can connect with each other in music. – Yo-Yo Ma

103483. After reaching 50, I began to wonder what the root of life is. – Yo-Yo Ma

103484. I learn something not because I have to, but because I really want to. That’s the same view I have for performing. I’m performing because I really want to, not because I have to bring bread back home. – Yo-Yo Ma

103485. When you learn something from people, or from a culture, you accept it as a gift, and it is your lifelong commitment to preserve it and build on it. – Yo-Yo Ma

103486. I love grocery shopping when I’m home. That’s what makes me feel totally normal. I love both the idea of home as in being with my family and friends, and also the idea of exploration. I think those two are probably my great interests. – Yo-Yo Ma

103487. I’m not likely to forget where I’ve been and what I’ve done and learned. I think it’s just as important to play new instruments as to play new pieces. The old ones are getting scarcer and the new ones more and more wonderful. – Yo-Yo Ma

103488. Good things happen when you meet strangers. – Yo-Yo Ma

103489. It took me way beyond what I knew, into places of which I was totally scared, but as I became less frightened, I welcomed new ways of thinking and approaching something. It made me an infinitely richer person, and I think a better musician. – Yo-Yo Ma

103490. Music has always been transnational; people pick up whatever interests them, and certainly a lot of classical music has absorbed influences from all over the world. – Yo-Yo Ma

103491. One is that you have to take time, lots of time, to let an idea grow from within. The second is that when you sign on to something, there will be issues of trust, deep trust, the way the members of a string quartet have to trust one another. – Yo-Yo Ma

103492. One of the most interesting aspects of the film project was collaborating with so many people – directors, filmmakers, and writers – over a five-year period. I learned that there are two components to this. – Yo-Yo Ma

103493. The role of the musician is to go from concept to full execution. Put another way, it’s to go from understanding the content of something to really learning how to communicate it and make sure it’s well-received and lives in somebody else. – Yo-Yo Ma

103494. The tango is really a combination of many cultures, though it eventually became the national music of Argentina. – Yo-Yo Ma

103495. Things can fall apart, or threaten to, for many reasons, and then there’s got to be a leap of faith. Ultimately, when you’re at the edge, you have to go forward or backward; if you go forward, you have to jump together. – Yo-Yo Ma

103496. We may be coming to a new golden age of instrument making. – Yo-Yo Ma

103497. I’ve been traveling all over the world for 25 years, performing, talking to people, studying their cultures and musical instruments, and I always come away with more questions in my head than can be answered. – Yo-Yo Ma

103498. Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys from time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that. – Wangari Maathai

103499. There’s a general culture in this country to cut all the trees. It makes me so angry because everyone is cutting and no one is planting. – Wangari Maathai

103500. It’s the little things citizens do. That’s what will make the difference. My little thing is planting trees. – Wangari Maathai

103501. It’s a matter of life and death for this country. The Kenyan forests are facing extinction and it is a man-made problem. – Wangari Maathai

103502. We need to promote development that does not destroy our environment. – Wangari Maathai

103503. It is important to nurture any new ideas and initiatives which can make a difference for Africa. – Wangari Maathai

103504. Women are responsible for their children, they cannot sit back, waste time and see them starve. – Wangari Maathai

103505. In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace. – Wangari Maathai

103506. I am working to make sure we don’t only protect the environment, we also improve governance. – Wangari Maathai

103507. African women in general need to know that it’s OK for them to be the way they are – to see the way they are as a strength, and to be liberated from fear and from silence. – Wangari Maathai

103508. We are very fond of blaming the poor for destroying the environment. But often it is the powerful, including governments, that are responsible. – Wangari Maathai

103509. I think I infuse the music with a new passion. Part of this is because I have fallen in love: I am in love with the New York Philharmonic. The chemistry has just been right. Beyond expectation. – Lorin Maazel

103510. The Beethoven Experience provided the opportunity to solidify the relationship between the Orchestra and me, the Orchestra and me and the public, between all of us and the city of New York, because Beethoven after all is a really amazing point of reference. – Lorin Maazel

103511. In these confused times, the role of classical music is at the very core of the struggle to reassert cultural and ethical values that have always characterized our country and for which we have traditionally been honored and respected outside our shores. – Lorin Maazel

103512. When I get a chance to play golf or go on a boat with good people, take the boat out and put some lobsters on the grill, get the ice-cold beer and the cigars – that’s heaven here on earth. – Bernie Mac

103514. I’m an ordinary guy with an extraordinary job. – Bernie Mac

103515. Jerry Weintraub, the producer, might be a pain in the ass, but he really knows how to treat his actors. – Bernie Mac

103516. I have sat at the sumptuous tables of power, but I have not run away with the silverware. – Diosdado Macapagal

103517. Men of vision. Oh, I love the fine names men give each other to hide their greed and lust for adventure. – Charles MacArthur

103518. The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself. – Douglas MacArthur

103519. They died hard, those savage men – like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them. – Douglas MacArthur

103520. The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It’s the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other. – Douglas MacArthur

103522. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. – Douglas MacArthur

103526. We are not retreating – we are advancing in another direction. – Douglas MacArthur

103527. I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within. – Douglas MacArthur

103528. Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. – Douglas MacArthur

103529. Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war. – Douglas MacArthur

103530. Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory. – Douglas MacArthur

103531. And like the old soldier in that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the sight to see that duty. – Douglas MacArthur

103532. Americans never quit. – Douglas MacArthur

103533. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it. – Douglas MacArthur

103539. I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world! – Douglas MacArthur

103540. I have known war as few men now living know it. It’s very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes. – Douglas MacArthur

103541. I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I’ve done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier? – Douglas MacArthur

103542. I’ve looked that old scoundrel death in the eye many times but this time I think he has me on the ropes. – Douglas MacArthur

103549. My first recollection is that of a bugle call. – Douglas MacArthur

103556. And I had an old-fashioned idea that dividends were a good thing. – James MacArthur

103557. A woman doesn’t just love a man. She loves who he is. And, who he is is dependent on what he needs. – James MacArthur

103558. Actually, if I could find a woman who was that wonderful; that understanding, well, I’d give her everything in the world that was in my power to give. And, I’d love her more than I ever thought it possible to love any woman. – James MacArthur

103559. And after four years, I thoroughly enjoy Hawaii and the success of the show. – James MacArthur

103560. The first year we actually did a lot of night shooting and the writers weren’t even allowed on location. – James MacArthur

103561. If the woman in my life, the one that I felt I loved enough to want to marry, loved my children, I’d know then that her love for me was deeper than I could hope for. – James MacArthur

103562. You should hear the guy who dubs me in Japan. I like him the most. He has a high squeaky voice. – James MacArthur

103563. Who knows what kind of life I might have had had I not been fortunate enough to have the parents I’ve had. – James MacArthur

103564. We were living in a tumultuous time, when the world was upside down. Freeman produced a show that was black and white, the good guys versus the bad guys. – James MacArthur

103565. Walt Disney was not a merchant of sadness. – James MacArthur

103566. They all went down in droves because just scenes of palm trees and beaches can get pretty boring. – James MacArthur

103567. When the major studios flourished many years ago, an actor was groomed, developed, and worked frequently at his craft. The studios really took care of their actors. – James MacArthur

103568. Some people say Hawaii is spoiled, but I don’t think so. It’s modern. It’s a part of today’s world. – James MacArthur

103569. Once you’re a winner, you can give all sorts of reasons why you’re a winner. Of course, you could all those same reasons to explain why a show fails. – James MacArthur

103570. Nobody really knows what makes a hit TV show. – James MacArthur

103571. My mother insisted that I have a normal upbringing. – James MacArthur

103572. My idea of going to hell is going somewhere where there are no books. – James MacArthur

103574. Six years ago, I completed the premier episode of Hawaii Five-O, and Jack Lord and I immediately realized that we had a good series, that this was a success such as we’d never hoped for! – James MacArthur

103576. Beating the drums for Hawaii is not hard to do… the place just grows on you. – James MacArthur

103577. I thought even if the show only lasted a year, it would be fun. – James MacArthur

103579. I had accumulated some capital and was at an age at which I was interested in generating income. But even though I was risk averse, I was interested in growth stocks. – James MacArthur

103580. I got into the acting business very young. – James MacArthur

103581. I give a percentage of the earnings to the Motion Picture Home. – James MacArthur

103585. Fortunately, I’ve also been an electrician, and that’s a happy memory for me. – James MacArthur

103593. Love’s a disease. But curable. – Rose Macaulay

103594. You should always believe what you read in the newspapers, for that makes them more interesting. – Rose Macaulay

103595. Each wrong act brings with it its own anesthetic, dulling the conscience and blinding it against further light, and sometimes for years. – Rose Macaulay

103599. Nothing is so useless as a general maxim. – Thomas B. Macaulay

103600. Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal, or, in other words, a meddling government, a government which tells them what to read, and say, and eat, and drink and wear. – Thomas B. Macaulay

103602. Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim. – Thomas B. Macaulay

103603. I would rather be poor in a cottage full of books than a king without the desire to read. – Thomas B. Macaulay

103617. To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population. – Thomas B. Macaulay

103618. To sum up the whole, we should say that the aim of the Platonic philosophy was to exalt man into a god. – Thomas B. Macaulay

103635. You always have to give 100 percent, because if you don’t, someone, someplace, will give 100 percent and will beat you when you meet. – Ed Macauley

103636. I think the long-term effect of video on cinema is good in that what we are now getting up there on the screen is of superior quality. Videos are just so much more sensitive to the world. – Ann Macbeth

103637. You have always had individual directors who begin in the advertising or commercial world, but they are probably exceptions rather than the traditional pattern. – Ann Macbeth

103638. All the arts are predominantly national, and therefore the Australian Film Commission should be funding us. The battle gets more and more vicious each year. – Ann Macbeth

103639. Any new producer starting up is to get investors’ confidence. Investors are still very very wary of anything to do with the arts world. – Ann Macbeth

103640. Build into each budget the cost of hiring and don’t lump yourself with capital investment. – Ann Macbeth

103641. I see any production of any nature being good for the development of the whole industry. – Ann Macbeth

103642. In 1975 Australia was producing things like Picnic at Hanging Rock, in other words films that I would consider still some of the finest products to come out of Australia. I think that our quality now is less than it was then. – Ann Macbeth

103643. It will never be Hollywood, the same way people think it should be. I think it will grow and it will be healthy and it will expand into more than one production house. – Ann Macbeth

103644. Most independent filmmakers in Britain and North America work for commercial crews and then have their own projects when they’ve got enough money saved up to do so. – Ann Macbeth

103645. Ten years ago I was not heavily involved in the film world but on reflection it was a boom time with the mineral boom happening, so there was immense growth for industrial training films, documentaries to do with the mining, and the outback world. – Ann Macbeth

103646. The British needlewoman follows blindly where the merchant leads. – Ann Macbeth

103647. We discovered that there was a great deal of keen interest in America for the kinds of products that we thought could be produced here. Also there was an interest in Britain for Australian material generally. – Ann Macbeth

103648. We’re under the Arts Council under the Minister for the Arts. The Minister for the Arts and the Minister for Industrial Development have great difficulty in agreeing over who should fund what in terms of film. – Ann Macbeth

103649. Film is the most expensive, highest risk industry in the world. – Ann Macbeth

103650. We probably do not have a large enough industry here to ably support the independent filmmaker to move in and out. Much of the industry is based on full-time jobs here, institutionalised jobs. – Ann Macbeth

103651. The dichotomy between art and industry is totally dysfunctional in terms of film. – Ann Macbeth

103652. We are the only state that does not have a State Film Corporation there to support the commercial industry. – Ann Macbeth

103653. We are not yet at the point where our size, our being the drama industry, is sufficient to support full time professional crews, and that is very very important. – Ann Macbeth

103654. We are here predominantly to support independent filmmakers and their needs. We are also here to assist people actually in their production, non-commercial people in their production. – Ann Macbeth

103655. Video just accesses international information so much more readily. – Ann Macbeth

103656. They will open up to what I would call corporate broadcastings where the non-commercial material will have air time. There’s no possibility of that here right now, none. – Ann Macbeth

103657. The existing documentary makers still believe that it is impossible to produce drama material in this State, otherwise they would be doing it, they say. – Ann Macbeth

103658. The worst thing that you can do in terms of bringing a product up to the market is to be two days after someone else has brought a similar product to the international market-It’s dead. – Ann Macbeth

103659. The tensions are always based on financial resources. Something like film is very problematic because it is viewed as an art form and also as an industry with a pure commercial base. – Ann Macbeth

103660. The State Film Authority will be there for film as industry only, as is the case in all the other states, except Victoria. Victoria is moving more now into supporting non-commercial films. – Ann Macbeth

103661. The more commercial work that is happening, the more people are operating cameras and are setting up studio lights, the greater the opportunity for drama production to happen. – Ann Macbeth

103662. It’s like breathing in and out to me. It’s like having a conversation with someone who isn’t there. Because it has to be addressed to somebody – not a particular person, or very rarely. – Norman MacCaig

103663. I only keep books that I like very much. Otherwise I’d throw them out. – Norman MacCaig

103664. I said I have no powers of invention. Well, I also have no powers of mimicry. – Norman MacCaig

103665. I used to fish the Border rivers, but nowadays you have to queue up for a shot and I can’t stand that. – Norman MacCaig

103667. I was very interested in American poetry for many years. Much less now. – Norman MacCaig

103668. I’m very gregarious, but I love being in the hills on my own. – Norman MacCaig

103669. Well, I love fishing. I wouldn’t kill a fly myself but I’ve no hesitation in killing a fish. A lot of men are like that. No bother. Out you come. Thump. And that’s not the only reason. – Norman MacCaig

103670. In fact a lot of them I think are absolute baloney. Those Charles Olsens and people like that. At first I was interested in seeing what they were up to, what they were doing, why they were doing it. They never moved me in the way that one is moved by true poetry. – Norman MacCaig

103671. I never think about poetry except when I’m writing it. I mean my poetry. – Norman MacCaig

103672. People haven’t got the interest in long long works these days. A lack of interest which I share. – Norman MacCaig

103673. There are some friends you don’t meet for twenty years and when you meet them again it’s as if no twenty years has happened – you’re lucky when that happens. I feel the same about books. – Norman MacCaig

103674. A terrible thing about getting oldish is that your friends start dying, and in the last ten years I have lost seven or eight of my closest. – Norman MacCaig

103675. If I wrote a play with four characters every single one of them would talk like me regardless of age or sex. – Norman MacCaig

103676. And the second question, can poetry be taught? I didn’t think so. – Norman MacCaig

103677. When I talk of hearing a poet’s voice speaking, I always think of it as in the presence of the man. – Norman MacCaig

103678. All I write about is what’s happened to me and to people I know, and the better I know them, the more likely they are to be written about. – Norman MacCaig

103679. When I go fishing I like to know that there’s nobody within five miles of me. – Norman MacCaig

103680. And if they haven’t got poetry in them, there’s nothing you can do that will produce it. – Norman MacCaig

103681. And in a way, that’s been a help to me, because I take great passions for a particular poet – sometimes it lasts for many years, sometimes only for a while. This happens to everybody. – Norman MacCaig

103682. All those authors there, most of whom of course I’ve never met. That’s the poetry side, that’s the prose side, that’s the fishing and miscellaneous behind me. You get an affection for books that you’ve enjoyed. – Norman MacCaig

103683. And some poets are far better read off the page because they’re very bad speakers. I’m thinking of one in particular whom I won’t name, a good poet, and he reads in such a dry, boring way, your eyes start drooping. – Norman MacCaig

103684. I find it’s impossible for me to read Proust. – Norman MacCaig

103685. Anybody who writes doesn’t like to be misunderstood. – Norman MacCaig

103686. But I hang on to books. I love them. I even think they’re very nice decor in a room – far better than paintings… That’s not quite true! – Norman MacCaig

103687. But you’d have a job to find many of my poems which would seem to be very influenced by a particular person. – Norman MacCaig

103688. However, I learned something. I thought that if the young person, the student, has poetry in him or her, to offer them help is like offering a propeller to a bird. – Norman MacCaig

103689. I don’t care whether a book is a first edition or not. I’m not a bibliophile in that word’s natural sense. – Norman MacCaig

103690. I don’t think of myself all the time. – Norman MacCaig

103691. And it’s impossible for me to read Henry James. – Norman MacCaig

103692. Well, I’m a light traveller. I chuck things away. – Norman MacCaig

103693. When I was asked to be Writer in Residence at Edinburgh I thought, you can’t teach poetry. This is ridiculous. – Norman MacCaig

103694. When I was a teacher, teachers would come into my classroom and admire my desk on which lay nothing whatever, whereas theirs were heaped with papers and books. – Norman MacCaig

103695. There are plenty of ruined buildings in the world but no ruined stones. – Hugh MacDiarmid

103696. Our principal writers have nearly all been fortunate in escaping regular education. – Hugh MacDiarmid

103697. It is time we in Scotland put England in its proper place and instead of our leaning on England and taking inspiration from her, we should lean and turn to Europe, for it is there our future prosperity lies. – Hugh MacDiarmid

103706. Love is the opener as well as closer of eyes. – George MacDonald

103707. Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it. – George MacDonald

103708. Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom. – George MacDonald

103709. The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to, and the last duty done. – George MacDonald

103710. The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom. – George MacDonald

103711. To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved. – George MacDonald

103712. When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over. – George MacDonald

103713. The principle part of faith is patience. – George MacDonald

103724. Age is not all decay; it is the ripening, the swelling, of the fresh life within, that withers and bursts the husk. – George MacDonald

103733. I have no inhibitions about smoking or drinking, but I think too much of my voice to place it in jeopardy. I have spent many good years in training and cultivating it, and I would be foolish to do anything which might impair or ruin it. – Jeanette MacDonald

103734. The one thing I missed was never having children. It just wasn’t in the cards, I guess. – Jeanette MacDonald

103735. I’m sure that people must say about me, on the screen, ‘Good gracious, is Jeanette MacDonald going to take off her clothes – again? – Jeanette MacDonald

103736. Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn’t blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won’t cheat, then you know he never will. – John D. MacDonald

103737. Friendships, like marriages, are dependent on avoiding the unforgivable. – John D. MacDonald

103745. Much of the success of life depends upon keeping one’s mind open to opportunity and seizing it when it comes. – Alice Foote MacDougall

103746. I simply don’t believe in failure. In itself, it doesn’t exist. We create it. We make ourselves fail. – Alice Foote MacDougall

103747. Poverty is relative, and the lack of food and of the necessities of life is not necessarily a hardship. Spiritual and social ostracism, the invasion of your privacy, are what constitute the pain of poverty. – Alice Foote MacDougall

103748. Success is an absurd, erratic thing. She arrives when one least expects her and after she has come may depart again almost because of a whim. – Alice Foote MacDougall

103749. We can sit around and go, okay, is there really a plan, does somebody really know what’s happening, is it all planned out, because sometimes it just seems too remarkable to me the things that have happened to me. – Andie MacDowell

103750. During Katherine Hepburn’s time when she was just coming into her own at 40. – Andie MacDowell

103752. I think the human body is beautiful, and I don’t really have a huge problem in dealing with it, but it’s the context, the environment and what I feel about it that that makes the difference for me. – Andie MacDowell

103753. People that are 40, they don’t sit around at talk about gray hair and how it covers their hair. They talk about highlighting, of course they’re covering gray, but they don’t talk about it that way. They’re going to get their colors because they need a little lightening. – Andie MacDowell

103754. I think hidden underneath a lot of teachers are very sexy women. – Andie MacDowell

103755. I tried to tell them about the dating process because I’m single now and how horrible it is and how many foolish experiences I had had dating. So I was really selling him hard, but the whole time he really wanted me! – Andie MacDowell

103756. I think women have an innate ability to be intuitive with people that they truly love, but they have to trust that inner voice, and I think it is there. I think we are more intuitive than men. – Andie MacDowell

103760. You gotta keep the funny intact. – Seth MacFarlane

103761. When you are in a room and your job is to write jokes 10 hours a day, your mind starts going to strange places. – Seth MacFarlane

103762. The success of The Simpsons really opened doors. It showed that if you were working in animation you didn’t necessarily have to be working in kids’ television. – Seth MacFarlane

103763. The good thing about Broadway is that you don’t have to worry about an airdate. It gets done when it gets done. – Seth MacFarlane

103764. Some of those more out-there jokes were written in the wee hours of the morning. Somehow, they remained funny the next day. – Seth MacFarlane

103765. I wrote on a show called Johnny Bravo when I was at Hanna-Barbera. – Seth MacFarlane

103766. ‘American Dad’ is, by its nature, much more political. – Seth MacFarlane

103767. The only problem is time. – Seth MacFarlane

103768. Even the distribution of rations leaves much to be desired; the fatigue party, well-intentioned and sympathetic though it be, often finds itself short of provisions. – Patrick MacGill

103769. There comes a moment on a journey when something sweet, something irresistible and charming as wine raised to thirsty lips, wells up in the traveller’s being. – Patrick MacGill

103770. The soldiers’ last meal is generally served out about five o’clock in the afternoon, sometimes earlier; and a stretch of fourteen hours intervenes between then and breakfast. – Patrick MacGill

103771. Save for minor ailments and accident, my battalion is practically immune from sickness; colds come and go as a matter of course, sprains and cuts claim momentary attention, but otherwise the health of the battalion is perfect. – Patrick MacGill

103772. Marching thus at night, a battalion is doubly impressive. The silent monster is full of restrained power; resolute in its onward sweep, impervious to danger, it looks a menacing engine of destruction, steady to its goal, and certain of its mission. – Patrick MacGill

103773. I am one of the million or more male residents of the United Kingdom, who a year ago had no special yearning towards military life, but who joined the army after war was declared. – Patrick MacGill

103775. Every battalion has its marching songs. – Patrick MacGill

103776. Divisional exercise is a great game of make-believe. – Patrick MacGill

103777. To the soldier, luck is merely another word for skill. – Patrick MacGill

103778. Few men could explain why they enlisted, and if they attempted they might only prove that they had done as a politician said the electorate does, the right thing from the wrong motive. – Patrick MacGill

103780. Petitions are ridiculous. – Shane MacGowan

103781. What I do is I’m a bandleader, frontman, entertainer. – Shane MacGowan

103782. When I’m writing a song, it gives me more actual pleasure to hear someone else sing it than do it meself. – Shane MacGowan

103783. I drink because I’m thirsty. – Shane MacGowan

103784. I’ve been here all the time; I could be putting out as many albums as Costello, y’know what I mean? – Shane MacGowan

103785. You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work. – Ali MacGraw

103788. It’s not so much what do I want to be doing in 15 years, it’s how I want to be in 15 years. – Ali MacGraw

103789. I was really involved with other people’s opinions of me, and it got heightened during my film career. I don’t have any opinion, good or bad about it, it just was. It’s not the way I feel now, and I think yoga has a lot to do with that. – Ali MacGraw

103790. It’s been my experience that the longer I do yoga, the more I want to know, the more I am able to understand and the less judgmental I am. – Ali MacGraw

103794. I don’t enjoy other people’s dramas, and I don’t enjoy mine. – Ali MacGraw

103795. I can’t remember when I wasn’t an animal rights activist. – Ali MacGraw

103796. I’ve always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created. – Ali MacGraw

103797. The task which we have set ourselves is simply to show why and for what purpose we hold that standpoint during most of our lives, and why and for what purpose we are provisionally obliged to abandon it. – Ernst Mach

103798. Many an article that I myself penned twenty years ago impresses me now as something quite foreign to myself. – Ernst Mach

103799. The biological task of science is to provide the fully developed human individual with as perfect a means of orientating himself as possible. No other scientific ideal can be realised, and any other must be meaningless. – Ernst Mach

103800. Similarly, many a young man, hearing for the first time of the refraction of stellar light, has thought that doubt was cast on the whole of astronomy, whereas nothing is required but an easily effected and unimportant correction to put everything right again. – Ernst Mach

103805. My table is now brightly, now dimly lighted. Its temperature varies. It may receive an ink stain. One of its legs may be broken. It may be repaired, polished, and replaced part by part. But, for me, it remains the table at which I daily write. – Ernst Mach

103806. The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses; but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as the creation of his senses. – Ernst Mach

103807. Man is pre-eminently endowed with the power of voluntarily and consciously determining his own point of view. – Ernst Mach

103808. If our dreams were more regular, more connected, more stable, they would also have more practical importance for us. – Ernst Mach

103809. Bodies do not produce sensations, but complexes of elements (complexes of sensations) make up bodies. – Ernst Mach

103810. A movement that we will to execute is never more than a represented movement, and appears in a different domain from that of the executed movement, which always takes place when the image is vivid enough. – Ernst Mach

103811. A colour is a physical object as soon as we consider its dependence, for instance, upon its luminous source, upon other colours, upon temperatures, upon spaces, and so forth. – Ernst Mach

103812. Without renouncing the support of physics, it is possible for the physiology of the senses, not only to pursue its own course of development, but also to afford to physical science itself powerful assistance. – Ernst Mach

103813. Ordinarily pleasure and pain are regarded as different from sensations. – Ernst Mach

103814. The presentations and conceptions of the average man of the world are formed and dominated, not by the full and pure desire for knowledge as an end in itself, but by the struggle to adapt himself favourably to the conditions of life. – Ernst Mach

103815. Thing, body, matter, are nothing apart from the combinations of the elements, – the colours, sounds, and so forth – nothing apart from their so-called attributes. – Ernst Mach

103816. The fact is, every thinker, every philosopher, the moment he is forced to abandon his one-sided intellectual occupation by practical necessity, immediately returns to the general point of view of mankind. – Ernst Mach

103817. The ego is as little absolutely permanent as are bodies. – Ernst Mach

103818. Every day I am trying to improve my life. – Alicia Machado

103819. Well, I think it’s because I’m an only daughter. I have four brothers, a bunch of guy cousins, and so it’s like I was raised amongst men. So I’ve always gotten along really well with men. – Alicia Machado

103820. Well that’s actually happened to me a couple of times… but I really think that men, when it comes to falling in love, are less… I guess you could say less aggressive. – Alicia Machado

103821. There is no country that has the best men. – Alicia Machado

103903. Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times. – Niccolo Machiavelli

103906. The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous. – Niccolo Machiavelli

103923. Parents should be encouraged to read to their children, and teachers should be equipped with all available techniques for teaching literacy, so the varying needs and capacities of individual kids can be taken into account. – Hugh Mackay

103924. Perhaps it’s the people whose lives have taken sudden new twists – people who have learned to embrace the creative possibilities of change – who stand the best chance of penetrating life’s mysteries. – Hugh Mackay

103925. Reading is a huge effort for many people, a bore for others, and, believe it or not, many people prefer watching TV. – Hugh Mackay

103926. Universal literacy was a 20th-century goal. Before then, reading and writing were skills largely confined to a small, highly educated class of professional people. – Hugh Mackay

103927. Recounting their histories, people often sound like interested bystanders to their own lives. – Hugh Mackay

103928. The question is, will we continue to fight what may be a rearguard action to defend universal literacy as a central goal of our education system, or are we bold enough to see what’s actually happening to our culture? – Hugh Mackay

103929. Some researchers sensibly suggest that rather than worrying too much about which programs our children are watching, we should concentrate on trying to reduce the total amount of time they spend in front of the screen. – Hugh Mackay

103930. Still, most of those effects occur in the context of harmless play and it is patently obvious that children are not normally turned into aggressive little monsters by TV or video games, since most children do not become aggressive little monsters. – Hugh Mackay

103931. The copycat effects of media violence, similar to those previously attributed to westerns, radio serials and comic books, are easy to exaggerate. – Hugh Mackay

103932. On average, Australians watch more than three hours of television a day, compared with 12 minutes a day spent by the average couple talking to each other. – Hugh Mackay

103933. I wish we didn’t have to own up to a policy deliberately designed to inflict suffering on people who have already been traumatised in the countries from which they’ve fled. – Hugh Mackay

103934. So, if falling crime rates coincide with the rise of violent video games and increasing violence on TV and at the cinema, should we conclude that media violence is causing the drop in crime rates? – Hugh Mackay

103935. Obviously, every child should be given the best possible opportunity to acquire literacy skills. – Hugh Mackay

103936. Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational. – Hugh Mackay

103937. No one welcomes chaos, but why crave stability and predictability? – Hugh Mackay

103938. It’s Australian to do such things because, however uncivilised they may seem, it’s human to do them. – Hugh Mackay

103939. It seems inevitable that the magic of the written word will fade. – Hugh Mackay

103940. Is it possible that literacy standards are falling because young Australians are growing up in a culture in which they can be entertained and informed, and in which they can communicate effectively, without having to master any but the most rudimentary literacy skills? – Hugh Mackay

103941. I’m in total sympathy with Dick Smith’s sentiments; I only wish there were grounds for saying we Australians would never tolerate such appalling treatment of refugees being carried out in our name. – Hugh Mackay

103942. I suspect the secret of personal attraction is locked up in our unique imperfections, flaws and frailties. – Hugh Mackay

103943. But the rule seems to be that the bigger and more life-changing the decision, the less it will seem like a decision at all. – Hugh Mackay

103944. Although we love the idea of choice – our culture almost worships it – we seek refuge in the familiar and the comfortable. – Hugh Mackay

103945. Actually, I can’t imagine anything more tedious than a perfect person, especially if it was someone who also demanded perfection from me. – Hugh Mackay

103946. A strangely reflective, even melancholy day. Is that because, unlike our cousins in the northern hemisphere, Easter is not associated with the energy and vitality of spring but with the more subdued spirit of autumn? – Hugh Mackay

103947. The underlying message of the Lancet article is that if you want to understand aggressive behaviour in children, look to the social and emotional environment in which they are growing up, and the values they bring to the viewing experience. – Hugh Mackay

103948. Indeed, in the present climate of mistrust of institutions, many people who yearn for a more meaningful and fulfilling life would regard the church as an unlikely place to go for guidance. – Hugh Mackay

103949. I want to make a summing up, brief and to the point, but thorough. I have never suppressed a word in my books out of regard for other people and their prejudices. – John Henry Mackay

103950. I want to lead the Progressive Conservative Party, a party that will promote true conservative values and principles. I can tell you right now, I am not the merger candidate. I am not interested in institutional marriages with other parties. – Peter MacKay

103951. If the United States leads a multinational force into Iraq without United Nations backing, Canada should fight beside its neighbour. We’ve gone from being a middle power to a muddle power on this one. – Peter MacKay

103952. It’s not as if our party has a leadership campaign underway. – Peter MacKay

103953. My gut tells me and continues to tell me that the Conservative party is on a road back to government. – Peter MacKay

103954. We have to be focused on growing the party and getting young people to see us as a viable option. – Peter MacKay

103955. We have to stress our conservative credentials and emphasize that we are the natural, national alternative to the Liberals. Clearly the Alliance has shown it can’t break out of its Western box. The Alliance is at single-digit support in three quarters of the country. – Peter MacKay

103956. What Canada has to do is to have a government connected to the priorities of the people of which it is elected to serve. Those priorities include ensuring medicare is sustainable, support for the military, and tax and justice systems that work. – Peter MacKay

103957. I guess my natural inclination is to finish what I started. We have a Conservative government in Nova Scotia. What I want to see is a Conservative government in Ottawa. – Peter MacKay

103958. Basically we just created our own label, but again we just did it to document our own music and create our own thing, so the major labels were just always out of our picture, we’re not interested. – Ian MacKaye

103959. Major labels didn’t start showing up really until they smelled money, and that’s all they’re ever going to be attracted to is money-that’s the business they’re in- making money. – Ian MacKaye

103960. Yeah, if someone’s selling downloads and collecting money for our songs I would be unhappy about that but if they’re trading it I don’t mind, obviously if I make a thousand records or CDs or whatever, I like to sell a thousand. – Ian MacKaye

103961. I am sure that in Canada the people appreciate this principle, and the general intelligence which prevails over that country is such that I am sure there is no danger of a reactionary policy ever finding a response in the hearts of any considerable number of our people. – Alexander Mackenzie

103962. We shall all respect the principles of each other and do nothing that would be regarded as an act of oppression to any portion of the people. – Alexander Mackenzie

103963. I have always held those political opinions which point to the universal brotherhood of man, no matter in what rank of life he may have taken his origin. – Alexander Mackenzie

103964. Logic, sometimes has very little to do with political action. – Alexander Mackenzie

103965. What postmodernism gives us instead is a multicultural defense for male violence – a defense for it wherever it is, which in effect is a pretty universal defense. – Catharine MacKinnon

103966. Can postmodernism hold the perpetrators of genocide accountable? – Catharine MacKinnon

103967. If you want to know who is being hurt in this society, go see what is being done and to whom in pornography and then go look for them other places in the world. – Catharine MacKinnon

103968. In a society in which equality is a fact, not merely a word, words of racial or sexual assault and humiliation will be nonsense syllables. – Catharine MacKinnon

103969. In not having an appointment at Harvard, I’m in the company of a great many people whose work I admire tremendously, in particular women of color. – Catharine MacKinnon

103970. Men who are in prison for rape think it’s the dumbest thing that ever happened… they were put in jail for something very little different from what most men do most of the time and call it sex. The only difference is they got caught. It may also be true. – Catharine MacKinnon

103971. Politically, I call it rape whenever a woman has sex and feels violated. – Catharine MacKinnon

103972. Postmodernism is an academic theory, originating in academia with an academic elite, not in the world of women and men, where feminist theory is rooted. – Catharine MacKinnon

103973. So the idea that there is nothing essential, in the sense that there are no human universals, is dogma. Ask most anyone who is going to be shot at dawn. – Catharine MacKinnon

103974. To be a prisoner means to be defined as a member of a group for whom the rules of what can be done to you, of what is seen as abuse of you, are reduced as part of the definition of your status. – Catharine MacKinnon

103975. It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are. – James Mackintosh

103976. Men are never so good or so bad as their opinions. – James Mackintosh

103979. Every tub must stand upon its bottom. – Charles Macklin

103980. Good laws are the offspring of bad actions. – Charles Macklin

103981. I mean, they’re threatening – my career is over. You know, everything I’ve worked so hard. I’ve worked extremely hard since about 17 years old, you know, as a White House intern on up. – Andrea Mackris

103982. I’m supposed to say, Bill O’Reilly, that’s immoral – click – and then walk back in and book his A block the next day and have a fine day and everything be kosher? I don’t think so. – Andrea Mackris

103983. I was put in a position with a man that, whenever he would call me at work or at home, work-related, he would say jump and I’d say how high and I would jump. – Andrea Mackris

103984. We had an eyeball-to-eyeball agreement at a restaurant before I came back that, if I came back, he would never talk to me that way again or I was simply saying no. – Andrea Mackris

103985. I mean, that was a throwaway thought, because my focus was – my intent and my focus was to never go public. – Andrea Mackris

103986. I had said no to him and no to him and no to him and no to him and no to him and no to him about his saucy language. It had never gotten to this level until I came back. – Andrea Mackris

103987. I’m not used to saying no to this man on any level. – Andrea Mackris

103988. Lynch is not as strange as his films. He’s a complex guy with a very interesting view of the world. But he’s very accessible, with a good heart. – Kyle MacLachlan

103989. The Monmouth Coffee Shop is the best place in London. – Kyle MacLachlan

103990. The nice thing about New York is that you’re finally able to wear those winter clothes that have been sitting in your closet in mothballs. – Kyle MacLachlan

103991. The film world is a crazy place to be. You sit around all day waiting for the phone to ring. Are people talking about you or aren’t they? – Kyle MacLachlan

103992. The difference with doing a play is that you are in control. In film you are in the hands of the director and the editor and the producer. – Kyle MacLachlan

103993. My workout is my meditation. – Kyle MacLachlan

103994. I’ve done Graham Norton’s show three times now. He tackles taboos and subject matter that wouldn’t make it past the censors in the States. – Kyle MacLachlan

103995. I’d like to do more Shakespeare. I’d like to do Iago in Othello. I look so benign. It would be interesting to see that black evil come out of my soul. – Kyle MacLachlan

103996. I really fight for my privacy. – Kyle MacLachlan

103997. I get very caught up with things. I used to be dominated by domestic things. I had a lovely house in LA-and it became this growing, mad obsession. – Kyle MacLachlan

103998. Actors have an unusual perspective on clothing. You’ve really got to know the impact of what you’re wearing on the character you’re playing. – Kyle MacLachlan

103999. Hollywood is not good when it comes to age. – Kyle MacLachlan
