106232. Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us without words? – Marcel Marceau

I learned that from my mother and my grandmother. – Teena Marie

106480. I know I have sex appeal, but I’ve never felt like an actual sex symbol. Fans sometimes think I am. The majority of them are sweet about it, but occasionally somebody weird becomes totally fixated upon me. – Teena Marie
106481. I still have a passion for the music, which is such a beautiful thing. I still wake up in the middle of the night out of a dream and have a melody in my head, and run to my piano. – Teena Marie
106482. I try to keep my ear to the streets without sacrificing who I am as an artist. If a song needs a drum machine I’ll use a drum machine. If it needs a drummer, I’ll use a real drummer. – Teena Marie

106490. There were times I used to go to parties when I was, you know, like 15-, 16-years-old, and I’d always bring my guitar, and all my friends would be like, sing one of the Smokey songs. And everything I sang was his music, and I could sound just like him. – Teena Marie
106491. They told me that they are starting a classic label, and wanted me to be the first artist. So I signed, and am producing myself, and writing my own music, but I’m their first artist on their classic label. And I have creative control. – Teena Marie
106492. This is a gift. This is a gift from God. It’s really like the old Biblical passage that talks about your body being a temple. That’s not to say that I’ve never done anything but I’ve never abused myself. Never gone over the top for a long period of time. – Teena Marie
106493. You never know where a blessing can come from. – Teena Marie
106494. I would walk down the hall with my guitar and play for anyone that would listen. As a young kid I was really driven and I was going to make it happen no matter what. – Teena Marie

106505. I don’t need to be motivated by anybody. Never have. – Dan Marino

106507. There is no defense against a perfect pass. I can throw the perfect pass. – Dan Marino
106508. Sometimes, I wish we were all amateurs again. I’d play for nothing. Ab-so-lute-ly free. But that’s not the system. – Dan Marino
106509. We’re not running the ball again until we get ahead. Shula was calling the plays, but I told them, ‘I don’t care what he calls. We’re throwing every pass from now until we get the lead.’ To Shula’s credit, he always gave me that option. – Dan Marino
106510. We’ve been blessed with four beautiful children. Michael, he doesn’t have much of a problem anymore. He is high functional, probably because of early intervention. – Dan Marino
106511. You can do more, you can always do more. – Dan Marino
106512. You need to feel that the game is important to you. Lose that feeling and you lose your edge. There’s no faking that kind of emotion. You can’t invent the feeling. It’s got to be natural, real. – Dan Marino
106513. Sure, the home-field is an advantage – but so is having a lot of talent. – Dan Marino
106514. My father always taught me to appreciate what you’re fortunate to have and give back to those who need it. No part of our society is more important than the children, especially the ones who need our help. – Dan Marino
106515. I think it’s more and more important to spend time with your children, because it seems to be harder and harder for them to succeed as their parents have succeeded. – Dan Marino
106516. It’s nice to feel the fans are behind you. You shouldn’t concern yourself with things like that – but it does matter. – Dan Marino
106517. If you ask any great player or great quarterback, there’s a certain inner confidence that you’re as good as anybody. But you can’t say who is the absolute best. To be considered is special in itself. – Dan Marino

106522. I have always said that I want to finish my career with the Dolphins and this put me closer to that goal. I have been fortunate to break many personal records, but my overiding goal is to win a Super Bowl here in Miami. – Dan Marino
106523. I think positive. I always think we’re going to score. Two minutes is a lot of time if you have timeouts and you’re throwing every down. You have to make the right decisions. I’ve always had great receivers, which helps. It’s not just me doing it. – Dan Marino
106524. It’s real nice and exciting for me to break the records, but it’s more exciting for me to be on a winning team. – Dan Marino
106525. I think I’m going to be around awhile. – Dan Marino

106528. I know I’ve got to just keep throwing the ball. That’s what I do best. – Dan Marino

106538. I think the most privacy I had was when the game was going on. – Roger Maris

106540. Every day I went to the ballpark in Yankee Stadium as well as on the road people were on my back. The last six years in the American League were mental hell for me. I was drained of all my desire to play baseball. – Roger Maris

106553. That’s the same in college. It’s the same in high school. Kids are getting bigger, stronger, faster, more into the weightlifting, more into nutrition, more into size. – Steve Mariucci
106554. I care about this state… and I feel a responsibility to get things done. If we stay healthy and play smart we can be a playoff team. I think we’re on the right track. – Steve Mariucci
106555. Everything we talk about is about beating the Packers, the Bears and the Vikings. Obviously there are other teams in the league, but if you can dominate and be on top of your division you are always in the playoff hunt. It’s time for us to win that thing. – Steve Mariucci

106823. I would rather start a family than finish one. – Don Marquis

106831. Before, we may have taken part in it without even thinking it was American Jewish, but in this case, I think, you have now perhaps pointed us in a direction of a new interest in this repertoire. – Neville Marriner
106832. There are some sounds that English singers find quite difficult to manipulate. – Neville Marriner

106836. So I’ve never found there was any particular separation between the two cultures at all, musically speaking. – Neville Marriner
106837. So I think we got together as the Academy to give ourselves that sort of responsibility and to play well. – Neville Marriner
106838. One thing we were looking for from the start was players who really fit together, who sounded in tune. – Neville Marriner
106839. This American Jewish music is a new experience for us at least consciously. – Neville Marriner
106840. Music is a continuum and the modern and avant-garde composers of today will be part of the standard repertoire 30 years from now. – Neville Marriner
106841. Mozart has written opera, symphony, sacred and chamber music – not to mention his piano and violin concerti. – Neville Marriner

106850. I think the quality of something like the Beveridge, for instance, will have a life of its own. – Neville Marriner
106851. When we first went there we completely lacked confidence. Our manager told us our act was too long, and told us to drop certain numbers and concentrate on the exciting stuff. And he was right. – Steve Marriott
106852. I reached the stage where I was afraid to wiggle my leg, but then I thought ‘why shouldn’t I?’ It’s what I do and now I know how to turn an audience on again. – Steve Marriott
106853. People who got on their feet and freaked about were called idiot dancers. and nobody wants to be called an idiot dancer. But the whole idea of rock and roll is to get people off their arses – that’s what it’s about. – Steve Marriott
106854. We owe America something because they turned us into a touring band. But at least we feel confident about appearing in Britain again now. Hyde park was the first time over here for ages. – Steve Marriott

106856. It’s just six of one and half-a-dozen of the other. – Frederick Marryat

106863. Jazz fans love Miles and I love him for a myriad of reasons, but the overviews are always too simplistic. – Branford Marsalis
106864. It’s something that jazz has gotten away from, and it’s unfortunate. Players aren’t physical anymore. – Branford Marsalis
106865. It’s hard to get into Newsweek because, as more of our former intellectual magazines take on a pop focus, if there’s no buzz, there’s no interest. – Branford Marsalis
106866. If you’re going to use standards as criteria for signing musicians, you can sign thousands. If you’re going to use some sort of conceptual interpretation that’s based on the tradition of those standards, but is trying to move away from it, you’re down to about 10 people or so. – Branford Marsalis
106867. If you listen to a lot of the songs that are popular now, there’s very little melody in there. People love the beat. But to musicians, it’s melody, because we understand how elusive it is and how hard it is to hold. – Branford Marsalis
106868. If it’s not going to sound like Terrapin Station, what’s the point of playing Terrapin Station? – Branford Marsalis

106870. I’m not going to play funk licks on a jazz album. That makes no sense. – Branford Marsalis
106871. I think that one of the problems that jazz has is that it’s so incestuous that it’s starting to kill itself. – Branford Marsalis
106872. I think that if you keep banging at the door all you need is a little foothold, a little tiny foothold, and then the rest will take care of itself. – Branford Marsalis
106873. A lot of musicians have a tough time hearing what we’re doing in a trio format. – Branford Marsalis
106874. Humans are imperfect. That’s one of the reasons that classical and jazz are in trouble. We’re on the quest for the perfect performance and every note has to be right. Man, every note is not right in life. – Branford Marsalis
106875. There’s not one Tin Pan Alley song on my record. – Branford Marsalis
106876. My dad was a musician, it was just what he did, like another guy’s dad drives a meat truck. Our house was normal. We weren’t taken with the fact our dad was a musician. – Branford Marsalis
106877. The lion’s share of what I hear right now are people who, intentional or accidental, have avoided all jazz prior to 1960. And all the musicians who were successful in the ’60s spent their entire lives, prior to 1960, listening to all the musicians these people avoid. – Branford Marsalis
106878. I suspect that we might actually start selling some records with these artists in about 10 years. Some the people who invested, they’re a little tight-because it’s a lot of money to start up a company. – Branford Marsalis
106879. You hear it in your brain. Whatever makes sense. Some songs work well as quartet songs, sometimes they don’t. – Branford Marsalis
106880. When you’re dealing with music without words, titles are more a means of identification than anything else. What’s the point of getting lofty? – Branford Marsalis
106881. What is jazz? It, It’s almost like asking, What is French? Jazz is a musical language. It’s a musical dialect that actually embodies the spirit of America. – Branford Marsalis
106882. We played it as long as we could play it on that CD and I think it might be 50 minutes, maybe. What you have to do is play a couple of songs and then get off the stage because everything that trails it sounds stupid. – Branford Marsalis
106883. The piano is the X factor. People have a tough time following the structures when there’s no piano there, spelling it out. It makes it more easily understood, particularly to people who don’t know as much about music. – Branford Marsalis
106884. The whole point is, give me a break with the standards. You go to the average jazz label and suggest a record and they want to know which standards you’re going to play. I’m saying let’s break the formula. – Branford Marsalis
106885. There’s a certain kind of motion and pacing that our music has, and this just doesn’t have that. We just kind of rushed to the conclusion of most of the songs. I just would’ve preferred to done them over. – Branford Marsalis
106886. I like to make records sound good. I’m more like a reducer than a producer. If an artist cannot produce themselves, what’s the point? – Branford Marsalis
106887. One of the things that’s clear to me from interviews that I’ve read is that the more popular successful jazz musicians had audiences above and beyond the music community. – Branford Marsalis
106888. Pop doesn’t really look back. It can’t. What makes pop work is simplicity. – Branford Marsalis
106889. That’s kind of like how jazz is sometimes. You’re out there predicting the future, and no one believes you. – Branford Marsalis
106890. The biggest problem with American music right now, is that kids don’t listen. They come by it honestly, Americans don’t listen anyway. When people go to concerts, they say I’m going to see… not, I’m going to hear. – Branford Marsalis
106891. I gave up my base in popular culture when I left the Tonight Show. – Branford Marsalis
106892. One of the things that I loved about listening to Miles Davis is that Miles always had an instinct for which musicians were great for what situations. He could always pick a band, and that was the thing that separated him from everybody else. – Branford Marsalis
106893. There was one thing Beethoven didn’t do. When one of his string quartets was played, you can believe the second violin wasn’t improvising. – Wynton Marsalis
106894. I believed in studying just because I knew education was a privilege. It was the discipline of study, to get into the habit of doing something that you don’t want to do. – Wynton Marsalis
106895. I believe in professionalism, but playing is not like a job. You have to be grateful to have the opportunity to play. – Wynton Marsalis
106896. I always read all these books about the slaves. My mother is very educated. My father would talk to us like we were grown men. We never knew what he was talking about half the time. – Wynton Marsalis
106897. Even in these times, there are still neighbors that will turn their backs on neighbors. – Wynton Marsalis

106900. Don’t settle for style. Succeed in substance. – Wynton Marsalis
106901. I feel like a lot of the fundamental material, I’ve assimilated. So now the question is: Am I going to really get into my spiritual inheritance of music and really develop my abilities? – Wynton Marsalis
106902. This rebuilding of New Orleans gives us the perfect opportunity to see if we’re ready to extend the legacy of Dr. King. – Wynton Marsalis
106903. There really have only ever been a few people in each generation who step out, are willing to put themselves on the line, and risk everything for their beliefs. – Wynton Marsalis
106904. I didn’t want to get that ring around my lips from practicing the trumpet, because I thought the girls wouldn’t like me. So I never practiced. – Wynton Marsalis
106905. I dress up a certain way because I respect the music. – Wynton Marsalis
106906. Through first-class education, a generation marches down the long uncertain road of the future with confidence. – Wynton Marsalis
106907. I got my first trumpet when I was six years old, from Al Hirt. My father was playing in Al Hirt’s band at that time. – Wynton Marsalis
106908. I have absolutely no idea what my generation did to enrich our democracy. We dropped the ball. We entered a period of complacency and closed our eyes to the public corruption of our democracy. – Wynton Marsalis
106909. I sounded like myself. People be saying I sound like Miles or Clifford Brown. – Wynton Marsalis
106910. When did we begin to lose faith in our ability to effect change? – Wynton Marsalis
106911. When I auditioned for my high school band the band director was excited because my father was known to be a great musician. When he heard me, he said ‘Are you sure you’re Ellis’s son?’ – Wynton Marsalis
106912. When I first came to New York everybody on the scene would treat me like I could play, but I couldn’t. – Wynton Marsalis
106913. Whenever you face a man who’s playing your instrument, there’s a competition. – Wynton Marsalis
106914. You need a team. You need people to push you. You need opponents. – Wynton Marsalis
106915. There are forces all around you who wish to exploit division, rob you of your freedom, and tell you what to think. But young folks can rekindle the weary spirit of a slumbering nation. – Wynton Marsalis
106916. The young very seldom lead anything in our country today. It’s been quite some time since a younger generation pushed an older one to a higher standard. – Wynton Marsalis
106917. Only a few act – the rest of us reap the benefits of their risk. – Wynton Marsalis
106918. I wanted to make somebody feel like Coltrane made me feel, listening to it. – Wynton Marsalis
106919. It was Dr. King’s tireless activism that fostered our modern way of relating to one another. – Wynton Marsalis
106920. It’s important to address young people in the reopening of New Orleans. In rebuilding, let’s revisit the potential of American democracy and American glory. – Wynton Marsalis
106921. Jazz is not the kind of music you are going to learn to play in three or four years or that you can just get because you have some talent for music. – Wynton Marsalis
106922. Many a revolution started with the actions of a few. Only 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence. A few hanging together can lead a nation to change. – Wynton Marsalis
106923. Maybe the preoccupation with technological progress has overshadowed our concern with human progress. – Wynton Marsalis

106927. Trumpet players see each other, and it’s like we’re getting ready to square off or get into a fight or something. – Wynton Marsalis
106928. People have taken time out of their day and spent their money to come sit down at a concert. And it’s jazz music-it’s not easy for them to get to it. I don’t want them ever to feel that I’m taking their presence lightly. – Wynton Marsalis
106929. What, other than injustice, could be the reason that the displaced citizens of New Orleans cannot be accommodated by the richest nation in the world? – Wynton Marsalis
106930. We always hear about the rights of democracy, but the major responsibility of it is participation. – Wynton Marsalis
106931. What I really have in my head, my imagination, my understanding of music, I never really get that out. – Wynton Marsalis

106933. The rebuilding of New Orleans is an important point in the history of the United States. – Wynton Marsalis
106934. The nerves are a problem on trumpet, because when you mess up everyone can hear it. Just remember most people are too polite to say anything about it. That should calm your nerves. – Wynton Marsalis
106935. The musicians I respected were much older than me. I expected them to cut my head, and they did. – Wynton Marsalis

106940. When you’re the youngest and the only boy, you get spoilt but you get told you’re spoilt so you don’t get to enjoy it very much. I was the only man in the house because my parents divorced and my dad moved away when I was 13. – Eddie Marsan
106941. I consciously decided not to be a ‘London’ actor. Those gangster movies made a lot of East End actors think they were movie stars. And I was very aware that they were going to go out of fashion. – Eddie Marsan
106942. I have friends who are leading men, and they’re only ever allowed to play leading men of a certain type. But as a character actor, there’s a wider variety of projects available. On the big Hollywood films, all they care about is having their lead in place, so it’s actually easier for someone like me to slip in. And I’m happy to do so. – Eddie Marsan
106943. I went swimming the other day and my wife was watching and she said, ‘You know, it’s funny, it’s when you’ve got no clothes on, no one recognizes you.’ I said, ‘What are you saying? That I should do more love scenes?’ – Eddie Marsan

106945. The trick to acting is not to show off, it’s to think the thoughts of the character. – Eddie Marsan

106947. What I love about the East End is that there’s a great perseverance, determination and courage. What I dislike about it is that there is sometimes a celebration of ignorance. – Eddie Marsan
106948. Boy, if Garth Ennis had created a religion, I would sure like to be a part of that. It just makes sense, the way he tackles things in it. It’s really heavy stuff and it’s incredibly well written. – James Marsden
106949. If you’re an attractive guy, everyone thinks you’re successful just because of the way you look. I hate that. – James Marsden
106950. I think I’m sort of locked into the sitcom genre. – Jason Marsden
106951. Any actor will tell you there’s more of a schedule to doing a television show. That’s why you’ll notice a lot of big movie actors are doing television, and they’ll tell you, it’s because of the schedule. – Jason Marsden

106953. I want to direct, write, produce… y’know, I love the entertainment industry. – Jason Marsden

106955. I’ve always wanted to be an animator. That’s an ultimate art form, right there. – Jason Marsden
106956. It’s not like a corporate job where the more you accumulate on your resume and the more hours you put in, the higher up you get; it’s simply not the case. That being said, if I had known that and known what kind of career I’d get into, I still would have pursued it. – Jason Marsden
106957. You get to that age where you’re watching a lot of television, and who doesn’t want to be on television? – Jason Marsden

106962. The scanning of barcodes, or the reading of RFID transponders, generates data that is used in a software package to provide management or control information. – Mike Marsh
106963. Only a couple of companies in the world have the experience of building these machines, although the market need, if RFID did take off, would be for about 1 million of the machines running in parallel. – Mike Marsh
106964. They will therefore not be in a hurry to risk their entire business by expanding too rapidly, but they are the major indicator of whether the manufacturing industry accepts there is a sustainable business in RFID production. – Mike Marsh
106965. RFID is going to get its technical embedding time it needs as serious players are not going to get involved on a sufficient scale with something that might not work. – Mike Marsh
106966. The chip comes from silicon foundries who have been running their plants for the past fifty years, understand mass manufacture, and are the area that is most likely to understand the volume increase problem. – Mike Marsh
106967. The transponder requirements have three major sections, namely the chip; the antenna; and the assembly of the chip and the antenna onto the goods being labelled. – Mike Marsh

106973. In every age poets and social reformers have tried to stimulate the people of their own time to a nobler life by enchanting stories of the virtues of the heroes of old. – Alfred Marshall
106974. In common use almost every word has many shades of meaning, and therefore needs to be interpreted by the context. – Alfred Marshall
106975. Civilized countries generally adopt gold or silver or both as money. – Alfred Marshall
106976. The price of every thing rises and falls from time to time and place to place; and with every such change the purchasing power of money changes so far as that thing goes. – Alfred Marshall
106977. Consumption may be regarded as negative production. – Alfred Marshall
106978. But if inventions have increased man’s power over nature very much, then the real value of money is better measured for some purposes in labour than in commodities. – Alfred Marshall

106987. I’ve had some interesting stuff happen to me – so why doesn’t anyone ask me? – Amanda Marshall
106988. You never know how things are going to go. I think you hope that people are going to dig what you do and that you’re going to get the chance to do it on a really comfortable level. – Amanda Marshall
106989. The fire trucks are out, there are thousands of people in the streets. You have a choice. You can have this, or you let Negroes eat at the lunch counters. – Burke Marshall
106990. With respect to drugs, you know, there are a lot of organizations, including an enormous budget and an army at the federal government level that tries to deal with the drug problem. – Burke Marshall
106991. The death penalty, I think, is a terrible scar on American justice, especially the concept of equal justice under law, but also of due process. And it goes state by state, and it’s different in different states. – Burke Marshall

106994. Religion has a good place and it has its good people. – Garry Marshall

106998. When I edit, I’m not from the school of Hello, I’m a genius, so everybody shut up. I’m from the school of Let’s play it once in front of an audience, and then I’ll tell you where it is going. – Garry Marshall
