10204. People ask me a lot about the values I got from playing for the Cubs for so many years. The value I got out of it was patience. A lot of people these days are not very patient. – Ernie Banks

10205. The Cubs are due in sixty-two. – Ernie Banks

10206. The only way to prove that you’re a good sport is to lose. – Ernie Banks

10207. When I wake up in the morning, I feel like a billionaire without paying taxes. – Ernie Banks

10210. Loyalty and friendship, which is to me the same, created all the wealth that I’ve ever thought I’d have. – Ernie Banks

10211. During my time, there might have been one pitcher or two that were top pitchers on a team. Teams that won maybe had three, but today they have a lot of depth. They have a lot of long relievers, short relievers, and the strategy is different. – Ernie Banks

10212. The Cubs are gonna shine in sixty-nine. – Ernie Banks

10213. It’s a kind of philosophy of my own life, to create the energy enough to keep on going. – Ernie Banks

10215. It’s a beautiful day for a ballgame… Let’s play two! – Ernie Banks

10216. It would be a lot different for me because there is a lot of information that you need to know about as a player. How pitchers are pitching you, how defenses are playing, certain situations about certain pitchers. – Ernie Banks

10217. I own stock, and I also insure my car with Geico. – Ernie Banks

10218. I learned from Mr. Wrigley, early in my career, that loyalty wins and it creates friendships. I saw it work for him in his business. – Ernie Banks

10219. Did you hear that? I didn’t hear anything. Put that question another way. – Ernie Banks

10220. But it all comes down to friendship, treating people right. – Ernie Banks

10221. Awards mean a lot, but they don’t say it all. The people in baseball mean more to me than statistics. – Ernie Banks

10222. Another friend hired me to open doors for him in the moving and relocation business. I did that for 10 years, am still doing it. And I do some work for the Cubs, in community relations. – Ernie Banks

10223. I like my players to be married and in debt. That’s the way you motivate them. – Ernie Banks

10224. I live to hail that season by gifted one foretold, when men shall live by reason, and not alone by gold. – George Linnaeus Banks

10225. For the cause that lacks assistance, the wrong that needs resistance, for the future in the distance, and the good that I can do. – George Linnaeus Banks

10226. I live for those who love me, for those who know me true, for the heaven so blue above me, and the good that I can do. – George Linnaeus Banks

10227. That save from Pele’s header was the best I ever made. I didn’t have any idea how famous it would become – to start with, I didn’t even realise I’d made it at all. – Gordon Banks

10228. At that level, every goal is like a knife in the ribs. – Gordon Banks

10229. If at first you do succeed – try to hide your astonishment. – Harry Banks

10230. A salesman minus enthusiasm is just a clerk. – Harry F. Banks

10231. If at first you don’t succeed, try to hide your astonishment. – Harry F. Banks

10234. By the usual reckoning, the worst books make the best films. – Iain Banks

10235. You have to have something worth saying and then the ability to say it- writing’s a double skill, really. – Iain Banks

10236. Technology determines the possibilities of society. It doesn’t matter whether you start out from a fascist state or a communist state or a free-market state. – Iain Banks

10237. I’m not a great believer in awards-of course the fact that I’ve never won one has nothing to do with it at all! – Iain Banks

10238. I wouldn’t like to be a character in one of my books! – Iain Banks

10239. I still find it hard to understand that anyone could argue that you can’t have machines that exhibit consciousness. – Iain Banks

10240. As long as a film stays unmade, the book is entirely yours, it belongs to the writer. As soon as you make it into a film, suddenly more people see it than have ever read the book. – Iain Banks

10241. As a writer, you get to play, you get alter time, you get to come up with the smart lines and the clever comebacks you wish you’d thought of. – Iain Banks

10242. I think the future stopped looking American when you think back to Blade Runner and Neuromancer, when it started to look more Japanese. – Iain Banks

10244. Who knows but that England may revive in New South Wales when it has sunk in Europe. – Joseph Banks

10245. In all honesty, at that time, I never saw myself as an author… I was just a Mom in a state of panic, trying to enter a short story contest to win the prize money in order to keep the lights on in my home. – Leslie Banks

10246. The story grew, got way bigger than the contest rules called for, and next thing I knew I had a book. – Leslie Banks

10247. It was all a back-handed blessing, and my friends were the ones who kept the faith, read my work, and urged me to submit it to publishers (by sending it out for me – they would not hear no for an answer. – Leslie Banks

10248. I look at life, the experiences I’ve had, at the human condition, the dynamics between people, the news (world news), and draw from the compelling realities all around us. – Leslie Banks

10249. I love the paranormal, because there, every genre I write can become one beacon for my imagination. – Leslie Banks

10250. That has always been it for me: family first. – Leslie Banks

10251. We got extremely lucky. It’s a tough business to work with. – Lloyd Banks

10252. I’m not altogether sure what I’m going to do for that. I think it will be a lot more low key than the other two I’ve done. Dare I say it, a bit more relaxing. – Peter Banks

10253. I’ve had lots of replies, we’re into the double figures now. And the overall standard is very good. In fact I’ve been feeling a little guilty, because I haven’t replied to anyone yet – it is something I will be doing. – Peter Banks

10254. I’ve wanted to do it for years, but every attempt at it has turned into another tune. We have actually taken a different approach, we’re doing a lot of sampling – we’re even sampling bits of Flash! – Peter Banks

10255. There’s not a moment on it that will sound too familiar, as soon as it sounds comfortably familiar then we like to do something with it to take away that comfortable feeling. – Peter Banks

10256. Through writing, through that process, they realize that they become more intelligent, and more honest and more imaginative than they can be in any other part of their life. – Russell Banks

10257. John Brown first swam into my vision in the 1960s when I was a political activist in the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement at Chapel Hill, where I went to university. – Russell Banks

10258. Lists of books we reread and books we can’t finish tell more about us than about the relative worth of the books themselves. – Russell Banks

10259. Motivations are too tangled and complex. – Russell Banks

10260. My major allegiance has been to storytelling, not to history. – Russell Banks

10261. Nobody does anything for one reason. – Russell Banks

10262. One of the things I have tried to do with this book and with all of them really is avoid that simple, easy, reductionist view of motivation and to show we do things for a complex net of reasons, a real braid of reasons. – Russell Banks

10263. So the same cultural and political issues that divided us in 1968 are still dividing us. – Russell Banks

10264. Storytelling is an ancient and honorable act. An essential role to play in the community or tribe. It’s one that I embrace wholeheartedly and have been fortunate enough to be rewarded for. – Russell Banks

10265. The best thing about writing programs is that it rationalized the apprenticeship of a writer. – Russell Banks

10266. It’s hard to spend years at a time working in total solitude with no reality-check. – Russell Banks

10267. The United States particularly abandoned Liberia after the end of the Cold War. – Russell Banks

10268. The 60s passed and faded and I grew older, and in 1987 bought a house in upstate New York, and it turned out that John Brown was buried down the road from my house and that he had lived there longer than anywhere else and his house was still standing. – Russell Banks

10269. And there are people who want to be writers because they love to write. And they care. – Russell Banks

10270. If you dedicate your attention to discipline in your life you become smarter while you are writing than while you are hanging out with your pals or in any other line of work. – Russell Banks

10271. A couple of years I taught in graduate programs at NYU and Columbia, in the early eighties. – Russell Banks

10272. And out of a desire essentially to imitate what I was reading, I began to write, like a clever monkey. – Russell Banks

10273. What I am finding now is that my audience is getting younger as I get older, which is a very good thing as you know – you don’t want them to get older as you get older. – Russell Banks

10274. But on the other hand, I don’t actively seek out stories or hunt them down. – Russell Banks

10275. But really, it was reading that led me to writing. And in particular, reading the American classics like Twain who taught me at an early age that ordinary lives of ordinary people can be made into high art. – Russell Banks

10276. Chimpanzees are endangered. Severely. – Russell Banks

10277. First of all it’s usually women who run these higher primate sanctuaries, rarely men. They are white. They come from privileged backgrounds. They are educated. – Russell Banks

10278. For almost anyone who chooses to be a writer, since so very few writers are able to learn a living from their work that is equivalent to the living earned by the average dentist or accountant. – Russell Banks

10279. I began as a boy with artistic talent… as a visual artist… I thought that was what I’d become and in my late teens drifted into reading serious literature. – Russell Banks

10280. I don’t want it to be all that self-conscious or artificial, but it really grows out of my having invented myself as a listener so that I could hear her voice. – Russell Banks

10281. I much prefer working with kids whose life could be completely upended by a reading of a book over a weekend. You give them a book to read – they go home and come back a changed person. And that is so much more interesting and exciting. – Russell Banks

10282. Although I still occasionally paint and draw, my life has now been shaped by my writing. – Russell Banks

10283. Models now need to promote themselves, think like businesswomen and diversify their careers by doing other things. Chances are very slim that a mere model will become a household name today. – Tyra Banks

10284. I was backstage in Paris and saw Cindy Crawford doing House Of Style. I thought, I would love to to be in control of my career. – Tyra Banks

10285. I’m competitive with myself. I always try to push past my own borders. – Tyra Banks

10286. I’m not sure exactly how gossiping about my life with my audience really helps them. – Tyra Banks

10287. I’m trying to build a strong business. I want to create new stars, new shows and new products for my audience and create a legacy that outlives me. There are so many other ways I want to reach women besides doing a talk show. – Tyra Banks

10288. I’ve always seen modeling as a stepping stone. – Tyra Banks

10289. It’s not like I want to hop on a bandwagon, because I said it 15 years ago – bringing a child into your life who is not genetically yours is one of the most beautiful things you can do. But I’m also interested in having my own baby, too. – Tyra Banks

10290. My mom never taught me to be waiting for some prince on a white horse to swipe me off my feet. – Tyra Banks

10291. Paris is one of the most beautiful places in all the world. Unfortunately, I was so homesick I couldn’t appreciate its beauty. – Tyra Banks

10292. People always ask me if I’m going to stop modeling because I have started an acting career. I hope to continue to model for years to come. – Tyra Banks

10293. The runway symbolizes something in society that’s very intimidating to women. – Tyra Banks

10294. I want to be like the athletes who seem stuck in time. When you see them at 50, you say they probably can still run like a champ. – Tyra Banks

10295. When I am full, I stop eating. – Tyra Banks

10296. I haven’t seen the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre. I haven’t seen anything. I don’t really care. – Tyra Banks

10297. You can’t model for the rest of your life, so it is important to diversify your career. – Tyra Banks

10298. There’s always going to be dreams and goals I have, but I never really tell people what they are. – Tyra Banks

10299. I don’t go to the cool, trendy restaurants. I go to either the holes in the wall or the super-fancy restaurants where there are no cool people. – Tyra Banks

10300. A smart model is a good model. – Tyra Banks

10301. Black women don’t have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies. Black men love big butts. – Tyra Banks

10302. Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic women. Why can’t we just be the sexy American girl next door? – Tyra Banks

10303. I love all kinds of bread. Whenever I crave junk food, I want salty things like peanuts or potato chips. – Tyra Banks

10304. From offstage until the moment I walk onstage, I constantly tweak my talk show and ‘Top Model’, but at the same time, I often leave my private life by the wayside. – Tyra Banks

10305. I talked about adopting a baby when I was 20 years old, before it became ‘hip.’ – Tyra Banks

10306. I enjoy doing fashion shows and transforming myself into different looks for photo shoots. – Tyra Banks

10307. I had had an extroverted personality with a lot of friends, but when I lost the weight and grew so tall, I withdrew within myself. – Tyra Banks

10308. I have so many goals. – Tyra Banks

10309. I look at myself and pick out the things I don’t like. No matter how much I work out, I never get muscle tone in my butt and hip area. – Tyra Banks

10310. I love food and feel that it is something that should be enjoyed. I eat whatever I want. I just don’t overeat. – Tyra Banks

10311. I love the confidence that makeup gives me. – Tyra Banks

10312. I loved planning ‘The Tyra Show’ more than actually having to do it. I loved coming up with show ideas, honing each program and crafting it. I’m more excited being in a meeting than being on TV. – Tyra Banks

10313. Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You’re in one minute, out the next. – Tyra Banks

10314. Anthropology is the science which tells us that people are the same the whole world over except when they are different. – Nancy Banks-Smith

10315. Evil communication corrupts good manners. I hope to live to hear that good communication corrects bad manners. – Benjamin Banneker

10316. I am of the African race, and in the colour which is natural to them of the deepest dye; and it is under a sense of the most profound gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. – Benjamin Banneker

10317. Presumption should never make us neglect that which appears easy to us, nor despair make us lose courage at the sight of difficulties. – Benjamin Banneker

10318. The colour of the skin is in no way connected with strength of the mind or intellectual powers. – Benjamin Banneker

10319. Schultz is not a Nazi. I see Schultz as the representative of some kind of goodness in any generation. – John Banner

10320. Well, who better to play Nazis than we Jews? – John Banner

10321. Gentlemen, I fervently trust that before long the principle of arbitration may win such confidence as to justify its extension to a wider field of international differences. – Henry Campbell Bannerman

10322. In addressing you I feel that I am not so much speaking to the representatives of diverse States of Europe and America as to the exponents of principles and hopes that are common to us all, and without which our life on earth would be a life without horizon or prospect. – Henry Campbell Bannerman

10323. Scare answers to scare, and force begets force, until at length it comes to be seen that we are racing one against another after a phantom security which continually vanishes as we approach. – Henry Campbell Bannerman

10324. We have to admit that, notwithstanding all the efforts in which governments and peoples have participated, no corresponding change has been wrought in the aspect of the world’s armaments. – Henry Campbell Bannerman

10325. You have indeed done much since the new century began to give shape and substance to the growing, the insistent desire that war may be banished from the earth. – Henry Campbell Bannerman

10326. But, gentlemen, can any of us say that as a result of such overwhelming sacrifices of money, of men, of ideals, and of civil dignity the sense of security has indeed been attained? – Henry Campbell Bannerman

10327. The reason sport is attractive to many of the general public is that it’s filled with reversals. What you think may happen doesn’t happen. A champion is beaten, an unknown becomes a champion. – Roger Bannister

10328. Life was very simple. My parents had come from the North of England, which is a fairly rugged, bleak, hard-working part of England, and so there was not the expectation of luxury. – Roger Bannister

10329. May is a very early time in the year and the weather is usually bad. You cannot run a fast mile race if there is a strong wind, because it makes your running uneven. – Roger Bannister

10330. My athleticism was really the core to social acceptance, because in those days the overwhelming number of students came from more of a public school background than I did. – Roger Bannister

10331. My family actually lived in the same village for about 400 years. They had great stability until the last century. People lived and intermarried in small villages. – Roger Bannister

10332. My introduction to track racing was through the background of cross country running, which is not a sport perhaps as popular in America as it is in England. – Roger Bannister

10333. Our house was bombed, and the roof fell in. We were sitting under the stairs of the basement, and we were quite safe, but it brought home the realization. In two nights 400 people were killed in small town. – Roger Bannister

10334. It’s a question of spreading the available energy, aerobic and anaerobic, evenly over four minutes. If you run one part too fast, you pay a price. If you run another part more slowly your overall time is slower. – Roger Bannister

10335. The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win. – Roger Bannister

10336. Mothers, unless they were very poor, didn’t work. Both of my parents had to leave education. My mother had to work in a cotton mill until 18 or 19, when she took some training in domestic science. – Roger Bannister

10337. When I was about to break a world record and become well known, my mother used to say that for her the important thing was for me to become a doctor – a career which had not been possible in her generation and in her society. Sport was something to be set aside. – Roger Bannister

10338. You get very tired, and there was a certain amount of pain and you slow up. Your legs are so tired that you are in fact slowing. If you don’t keep running, keep your blood circulating, the muscles stop pumping the blood back and you get dizzy. – Roger Bannister

10339. Your spikes, which were really quite long then, would catch the material of the track and your shoe would get heavier. I was simply filing them down and rubbing some graphite on the spikes. I thought I would run more effectively. – Roger Bannister

10340. The Athletic Association competed against the University. So there was an event. You cannot break world records unless it is an established event, and you have three timekeepers, and the whole thing is organized. – Roger Bannister

10341. I found longer races boring. I found the mile just perfect. – Roger Bannister

10342. My concentration was really on getting to university and becoming a doctor. My parents let me know that school marks were important. Achievement was something which came by hard work. – Roger Bannister

10343. It had always been a British preoccupation to hold this mile record. – Roger Bannister

10344. I came from such a simple origin, without any great privilege, and I would say I also wanted to make a mark. It wasn’t until I was about 15 that I appeared in a race. – Roger Bannister

10345. I enjoy singing, and the instruments which truly move me are the horn, the trumpet and the cello. – Roger Bannister

10346. Athletics is a luxury. – Roger Bannister

10347. I lived on the top of one hill and the school was at the top of another hill. Nobody ever went to school by car – we didn’t have any cars during the war. So that to and from school was itself a training. – Roger Bannister

10348. I raced supremely well. I felt I was as well fitted to do it as I had ever been, and as perhaps I might ever be. I went climbing three weeks before, because I was feeling fed up with running. – Roger Bannister

10349. I think that is a universal adolescent feeling, trying to find your place. The adolescent who is perfectly adjusted to his environment, I’ve yet to meet. – Roger Bannister

10350. I wanted to be a neurologist. That seemed to be the most difficult, most intriguing, and the most important aspect of medicine, which had links with psychology, aggression, behavior, and human affairs. – Roger Bannister

10351. I was always a great bundle of energy. As a child, instead of walking, I would run. And so running, which is a pain to a lot of people, was always a pleasure to me because it was so easy. – Roger Bannister

10352. I was involved in music, acting, and some running, but my firm wish was to become a doctor. That was the formative age when I had decided on the pattern of my career. – Roger Bannister

10353. I was playing rugby and the other games English school children do, and there was an event in which races were run, and I won these by a considerable margin. – Roger Bannister

10354. I’ve always been very impatient. At age 10 I frankly found life boring, and I can remember age 9 having the awful thought, as it seems now looking back on it, A war! That should liven things up a bit! – Roger Bannister

10355. If there was the opportunity to climb a mountain, or to go ballooning, or some adventurous activity, I would always be keen to do it. I loved the countryside. – Roger Bannister

10356. I couldn’t disappoint people. I did not want to fail and exhaust myself, because I was the kind of runner who trained so little that I couldn’t race again within another 10 days. – Roger Bannister

10357. It is true I gained muscular vigour, but with it a prodigious appetite, which I was compelled to indulge, and consequently increased in weight, until my kind old friend advised me to forsake the exercise. – William Banting

10358. Yet the evil still increased, and, like the parasite of barnacles on a ship, if it did not destroy the structure, it obstructed its fair, comfortable progress in the path of life. – William Banting

10359. The very gradual reductions in my weight which I am able to show, may be interesting to many, and I have great pleasure in stating them, believing that they serve to demonstrate further the merit of the system pursued. – William Banting

10360. The great charm and comfort of the system is, that its affects are palpable within a week of trial, which creates a natural stimulus to persevere for few weeks more, when the fact becomes established beyond question. – William Banting

10361. My other bodily ailments have become mere matters of history. – William Banting

10362. My diminished girth, in tailor phraseology, was hardly conceivable even by my own friends, or my respected medical adviser, until I put on my former clothing, over what I now wear, which is a thoroughly convincing proof of the remarkable change. – William Banting

10363. I am now in that happy comfortable state that I do not hesitate to indulge in any fancy in regard to diet, but watch the consequences, and do not continue any course which adds to weight or bulk and consequent discomfort. – William Banting

10364. I am most thankful to Almighty Providence for mercies received, and determined still to press the case into public notice as a token of gratitude. – William Banting

10365. I am fully persuaded that thousands of our fellow-men might profit equally by a similar course to mine; but, constitutions not being all alike, a different course of treatment may be advisable for the removal of so tormenting an affliction. – William Banting

10366. For the sake of argument and illustration I will presume that certain articles of ordinary diet, however beneficial in youth, are prejudicial in advanced life, like beans to a horse, whose common ordinary food is hay and corn. – William Banting

10367. Few men have led a more active life – bodily or mentally – from a constitutional anxiety for regularity, precision, and order, during fifty years’ business career, from which I had retired. – William Banting

10368. Experience has taught me to believe that, these human beans are the most insidious enemies man, with a tendency to corpulence in advanced life, can possess, though eminently friendly to youth. – William Banting

10369. At one time I thought the Editor of the Lancet would kindly publish a letter from me on the subject, but further reflection led me to doubt whether so insignificant an individual would be noticed without some special introduction. – William Banting

10370. The reason good women like me and flock to my pictures is that there is a little bit of vampire instinct in every woman. – Theda Bara

10371. If I were a Palestinian of the right age, I’d eventually join one of the terrorist organizations. – Ehud Barak

10372. Iran poses the most serious long-term threat to regional stability. – Ehud Barak

10373. We want peace, but not at any price. – Ehud Barak

10374. Thought is more important than art. To revere art and have no understanding of the process that forces it into existence, is finally not even to understand what art is. – Amiri Baraka

10375. This is said to us, even as this counterfeit president has legalized the Confederate Flag in Mississippi. – Amiri Baraka

10376. There is other disturbing facts surround the hideous 911 attacks, which my family and I could see from the third floor bathroom window of our homes! – Amiri Baraka

10377. If the flag of an armed enemy of the U.S. is allowed to fly over government buildings, then it implies that slavery, or at least the threat of slavery, is sanctioned by that government and can still legally exist. – Amiri Baraka

10378. God has been replaced, as he has all over the West, with respectability and air conditioning. – Amiri Baraka

10379. A rich man told me recently that a liberal is a man who tells other people what to do with their money. – Amiri Baraka

10380. A man is either free or he is not. There cannot be any apprenticeship for freedom. – Amiri Baraka

10381. To name something is to wait for it in the place you think it will pass. – Amiri Baraka

10382. You can only do the work to the very best of your ability. – Christine Baranski

10383. Ron Howard is as good a person as you could want to work with on film. He never lost his cool. He’s the most easygoing, lovely man, but he’s got this enormous intelligence and a wonderful humanity. – Christine Baranski

10384. It’s a great time to be an actress at this point in my life. – Christine Baranski

10385. It’s the thing that you do well that brings you to prominence. The very thing that brings you to success can also be like a curse, because then people think that’s all you can do. – Christine Baranski

10387. Lawrence of Arabia is the ultimate movie, deeply cinematic. – Christine Baranski

10388. Mike Nichols asked if I would do The Birdcage. Mike and I are dear friends but he had never offered me a feature role in a movie. My television career opened other doors for me. – Christine Baranski

10389. Really, can anyone drink several martinis at lunch? – Christine Baranski

10390. The older I get the more I try not to waste my time on negative energy. – Christine Baranski

10391. The sibilant s is the most difficult sound to correct. – Christine Baranski

10392. Usually, it gets worse and worse as they downsize your character; mine just kept getting better. – Christine Baranski

10393. It was considered that you were stepping down by doing television. I almost turned Cybill down because I so wanted to remain a theater actress. – Christine Baranski

10394. You are always damned by things that you do well as an actor. – Christine Baranski

10395. I’m a nice, happily married wife and mom and I live in Connecticut. – Christine Baranski

10396. You have to hold your bloody own or you’re lost. – Christine Baranski

And so, I had a wonderful childhood. – Haley Barbour

10497. When I became governor, spending actually increased 28 percent my first term. Revenue increased 42 percent my first term without raising anybody’s taxes.

10549. When I see myself at 14 years old I can put my hands on my head and think: ‘How could I have done that?’ but at that time it had sense for me. You do the same when you’re 20. And now, when you look at people who are 20 years old you ask yourself: ‘Was I like that? Was I really like that?’ – Javier Bardem

10555. The personal thing is something I have never talked about. And I never will. That is prohibited. My job is public. But that’s it. When you’re not working, you don’t have an obligation to be public. – Javier Bardem

10556. The only thing I can do is act, but it’s not something I even feel comfortable doing. It costs me a lot, because I’m a shy person, even if I don’t look it. – Javier Bardem

10557. The award is important in order to bring people to the movie theater. That’s the only principle meaning of any award. – Javier Bardem

10558. Sometimes I say to myself, what are you doing in this absurd job? Why don’t you go to Africa and help people? But I cannot help people, because I am a hypochondriac. – Javier Bardem

10559. Now, there are so many movies, so many festivals, and so many awards going on, each judged with each other, like your work is worse than others and that’s not fair. How can you tell what’s best and what’s worst from these awards? We’re talking about art. – Javier Bardem

10565. I want to act because I don’t know how to do anything else. – Javier Bardem

10566. I used to be a good party boy. I’m old. I’m an old man. You pay the consequences. I’m just fine with a couple of drinks, no more than that. – Javier Bardem

10567. I think we are living in selfish times. I’m the first one to say that I’m the most selfish. We live in the so-called ‘first world,’ and we may be first in a lot of things like technology, but we are behind in empathy. – Javier Bardem

10568. I truly don’t have any formula for the choices I make. – Javier Bardem

10569. Really, I don’t see this heart-throb thing at all. – Javier Bardem

10570. An award doesn’t necessarily make you a better actor. – Javier Bardem

10571. Everybody in Spain is sick of me. But in America, there’s curiosity about the new kid on the block who doesn’t speak English very well. The attention makes me feel vulnerable, which is something I hadn’t felt in a while. But I like it. – Javier Bardem

10573. I don’t know how to drive a car. – Javier Bardem

10574. I have this problem with violence. I’ve only done one movie in almost 20 years where I killed people. It’s called Perdita Durango. It’s a Spanish movie. I’m very proud of the movie, but I felt weird doing that. – Javier Bardem

10575. I do respect people’s faith, but I don’t respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control. – Javier Bardem

10576. I am always saying, ‘I don’t believe in God; I believe in Al Pacino.’ And that’s true. If I ever get a phone call saying ‘Would you like to work with Al Pacino?’ I would go crazy. – Javier Bardem

10578. Every time I wake up, I see myself like somebody beat me up. – Javier Bardem

10580. Celebrity is very weird. – Javier Bardem

10581. Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They’re to promote each other’s movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they’ll go to see them. It’s still the same. – Javier Bardem

10582. But don’t call me an actor. I’m just a worker. I am an entertainer. Don’t say that what I am doing is art. – Javier Bardem

10583. I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it’s boring. – Javier Bardem

10584. And the whole Oscar thing, that is just surreal: you spend months and months doing promotion, and then come back to reality with this golden thing in your hands.

10651. Nothing gives me quite so much joy as when people tell me they’ve had their pets spayed or neutered. – Bob Barker

10653. Networks decide who will have a chance to do shows, but it is the viewers who make the final decision of who stays and who goes. I am very fortunate, in that the television viewers of our country have decided that Bob Barker can stay. – Bob Barker

10656. I’m a vegetarian – I think there’s a strong possibility, had I not become a vegetarian, I would not be working now. I became a vegetarian about 25 years ago, and I did it out of concern for animals. But I immediately began having more energy and feeling better. – Bob Barker

10661. It is great good health to believe, as the Hindus do, that there are 33 million gods and goddesses in the world. It is great good health to want to understand one’s dreams. It is great good health to desire the ambiguous and paradoxical. – Clive Barker

10662. I’m a great dog fanatic. My own dog died a little while ago and I take it very personally when things die – it’s a major offence. – Clive Barker

10663. I have the normal complement of anxieties, neuroses, psychoses and whatever else – but I’m absolutely nothing special. – Clive Barker

10668. I have plenty of political views and plenty of social and personal prejudices. I do not, however, value them. – Howard Barker

10672. When I write, I am not giving a lecture, I am speculating on behavior. Sometimes this is dangerous, but it should be. As I say often, theatre is a dark place and we should keep the light out of it. – Howard Barker

10673. The ultimate function of prophecy is not to tell the future, but to make it. Your successful past will block your visions of the future. – Joel A. Barker

10675. A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn’t go by yourself. – Joel A. Barker

10680. We all write the music, and then Mark and Tom write the lyrics. – Travis Barker

10681. I’m a freak, everything has to be totally flat when I play. Ed Will, my jazz teacher, set up everything completely flat, and then you’d tilt your snare drum away from you, so I do that too. So my snare tilts away from me. – Travis Barker

10682. I’m super serious about that stuff. I mean, it’s rare that I sit down at a drum set when I’m not touring, because we tour so much. – Travis Barker

10688. On tour, you never have a home, you don’t get used to anything, and you’re always super busy. – Travis Barker

10690. We just wanted to write a bunch of songs that we thought were good songs. – Travis Barker

10692. We never worry about the big things, just the small things. – Travis Barker

10693. We were concerned with having good songs, not just songs that go two hundred miles per hour. – Travis Barker

10694. In junior high, I sang in madrigals, men’s’ and women’s’ choir. I played piano too, but then I got out of it. – Travis Barker

10695. I was told once if I kept breaking things on my legs, that I wasn’t going to be able to walk soon, you know? I wanted to be a pro skateboarder, but it was too hard. I was trying, but it wasn’t going to happen. – Travis Barker

10696. Then I tried out for the Fontana High School drum line, in Riverside, and I did really well. I got second chair, and played snare in that drum line for three years. – Travis Barker

10697. I learned the songs and played the gigs, and then they called me about a month later. They told me they were like super stoked on me and asked me to join their band. – Travis Barker

10698. My mom listened to the Beatles and Elvis, a lot of different types of music. – Travis Barker

10699. All I wanted to do was ride skateboards – I wanted to be a professional skateboarder. But I had this problem. I kept breaking half of my body skateboarding. – Travis Barker

10700. And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school. – Travis Barker

10701. And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach. – Travis Barker

10702. Bill Stevenson of The Descendants is really good, too. – Travis Barker

10703. But really, anytime, I play on a practice pad as much as I can. – Travis Barker

10704. I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock. – Travis Barker

10705. I like Steve Gadd, everything he did with Steely Dan. There’s so many. I like everything. – Travis Barker

10706. I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk. – Travis Barker

10707. I was playing with the Aquabats, and then I quit to join a band called Suicide Machine in Detroit. – Travis Barker

10710. I practice every day, I warm up before I play. – Travis Barker

10711. I used to have friends come on tour and work as my drum tech, but they get bummed out when I have to tell them what to do. This time I’m just going to fly them out and let them hang. It’s all good. – Travis Barker

10712. I was a kid, and I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to play the drums, you know? All I wanted to do was skateboard, but I was still learning and taking it in, so it was good. – Travis Barker

10713. I was in a band called Hooker for a while. – Travis Barker

10714. But there’s actually a lot of punk bands out there that go out of the norm, use odd time signatures, or a lot of different tempo changes in a song. – Travis Barker

10715. Acting is a matter of giving away secrets. – Ellen Barkin

10716. When a 12-year-old, a 13-year-old, so desperately wants a baby what she’s looking for is the kind of unconditional love a child gives a mother and a mother gives a child. – Ellen Barkin

10717. You’ve got a movie where the pro-choice family gives their daughter no choice. The pro-life family murders. What seems to be the good mother, the kind of hippie painter, sweet and cute mother has no love for her daughter really. – Ellen Barkin

10718. When I played Leonardo DiCaprio’s mother, they liked that Leo had very hooded eyes and a rounded nose with a ball. They said, They look like they could be mother and son. – Ellen Barkin

10720. People tend to remember my performances, not me. – Ellen Barkin

10725. My initial response was to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized that I had no character. – Charles Barkley

10726. Poor people cannot rely on the government to come to help you in times of need. You have to get your education. Then nobody can control your destiny. – Charles Barkley

10727. Somebody hits me, I’m going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn’t eaten in a while. – Charles Barkley

10728. Sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel is a train. – Charles Barkley

10729. The main thing to do is relax and let your talent do the work. – Charles Barkley

10730. These are my new shoes. They’re good shoes. They won’t make you rich like me, they won’t make you rebound like me, they definitely won’t make you handsome like me. They’ll only make you have shoes like me. That’s it. – Charles Barkley

10731. You know it’s going to hell when the best rapper out there is white and the best golfer is black. – Charles Barkley

10732. We don’t need refs, but I guess white guys need something to do. – Charles Barkley

10733. My family got all over me because they said Bush is only for the rich people. Then I reminded them, ‘Hey, I’m rich’. – Charles Barkley

10735. If somebody hits you with an object you should beat the hell out of them. – Charles Barkley

10737. I’m not a role model… Just because I dunk a basketball doesn’t mean I should raise your kids. – Charles Barkley

10738. I’m no role model. – Charles Barkley

10740. I love New York City; I’ve got a gun. – Charles Barkley

10742. I know I’m never as good or bad as one single performance. I’ve never believed in my critics or my worshippers, and I’ve always been able to leave the game at the arena. – Charles Barkley

10743. I don’t think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble. – Charles Barkley

10744. I don’t care what people think. people are stupid. – Charles Barkley

10745. I don’t know what that gas is made of, but it can’t smell any worse than Ernie Johnson ‘s gym bag. – Charles Barkley

10746. Kids are great. That’s one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It’s a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names. – Charles Barkley

10747. I was never a Boy Scout, but oh, I wanted to be one when I was a kid about ten or eleven years old. But there wasn’t anyplace where I could ever join the Boy Scouts. – Carl Barks

10748. I always felt myself to be an unlucky person like Donald, who is a victim of so many circumstances. But there isn’t a person in the United States who couldn’t identify with him. He is everything, he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make. – Carl Barks

10749. I’ve always looked upon the Ducks as caricature human beings. Perhaps I’ve been years writing in that middle world that J.R.R. Tolkien describes, and never knew it. – Carl Barks

10750. I read some of my stories recently and thought, ‘How in the hell did I get away with that?’ I had some really raw cynicism in some of them. – Carl Barks

10751. I enjoyed doing the gag covers better than the story ones because they were usually simpler. A cover based on an incident in the plot took a great deal of staging to tell a little story that was still part of the book. And it had to make sense on its own. – Carl Barks

10752. There was no difference between my characters and the life my readers were going to have to face. – Carl Barks

10753. We provide many options in many product areas that they seem to want to adopt, and that’s working well for us. – Jim Barksdale

10754. Where we can compete on merit, we do very well. – Jim Barksdale

10755. That’s the ultimate gratification in any business situation – do customers buy the product? And do they use it and do they come back and buy more of it? – Jim Barksdale

10756. The ability of our people to think quickly and create great products in this whole new world of Internet open standards is not only essential to our success but is also one of the things that impresses me most about Netscape. – Jim Barksdale

10757. There are no pat answers – we’re pushing through some new frontiers, and lessons of the past don’t always apply. – Jim Barksdale

10758. We also provide a lot of services with our consulting group that allow people to take maximum advantage of the Net economy. Those all seem to resonate with customers and are providing a good strong base going forward. – Jim Barksdale

10759. We can provide beta software to our developers in advance of the general public. We can easily link up with external partners, customers, and suppliers. – Jim Barksdale

10760. Of course, nothing happens until somebody sells something. – Jim Barksdale

10761. We’re building a great company, and we’re very excited about the future of the company. – Jim Barksdale

10762. We’re no longer a small business; we’re a large organization spread around the world. I can’t imagine Netscape growing as fast as it has if it weren’t for the way we use our products. – Jim Barksdale

10763. We’ve tapped into a huge demand, and it’s up to us to fulfill that demand and to be creative doing it. – Jim Barksdale

10764. Well, another market is being created now out of Internet technology. – Jim Barksdale

10765. Well, the sales of our products clearly demonstrate their value to businesses and to individuals. – Jim Barksdale

10766. Take our own company as an example: We’re living proof, we jump with our own parachutes. – Jim Barksdale

10767. We can collaborate with a Netscape employee or partner who’s halfway around the world. We can distribute information and software to customers and shareholders, and get their feedback. – Jim Barksdale

10768. I think we’re proving ourselves as we go along. The past several months our strategy has been evolutionary – making maximum advantage of our client browser, as well as our enterprise software for people who want to build Web sites. – Jim Barksdale

10769. One problem was that my direct testimony was in writing, so a lot of people didn’t get to see it. I hope they see it, because I think it built a very strong case. – Jim Barksdale

10770. Our people are excited about building solutions, and it’s rewarding to see how much fun Netscape employees have doing something they think is relevant and important. – Jim Barksdale

10771. I can’t deny that some customers and prospects think it’s the key to our future. But it’s not. We’re certainly supportive of the Dept. of Justice and the 20 states that have brought this action. – Jim Barksdale

10772. I don’t believe in government regulation of the software industry. – Jim Barksdale

10773. I think they should separate Microsoft’s application group from its operating system group. – Jim Barksdale

10774. After all, it’s the future of business communication that we’re looking toward. – Jim Barksdale

10775. I want my testimony to stand on that point. But I would point out that Zona Research Inc. showed we have increased market share among business users, educational users, and government users over the past several months – and that’s more recent than the IDC report. – Jim Barksdale

10776. I was telling the truth. I feel like we got that point across. – Jim Barksdale

10777. I’ve tended to work at fast-growing companies that improve the way business gets done. – Jim Barksdale

10778. In my column series “The Main Thing,” I often talk about how Internet technology can improve the way people communicate – both within a business and between a business and its customers and partners. – Jim Barksdale

10779. It’s the first time I’ve ever done anything like that. It took longer than I expected. I’ve gotten a lot of E-mail since I got back, saying they thought I did a good job and presented the case well. – Jim Barksdale

10780. One of Netscape’s main attractions to customers from Day One is that we provide alternatives. And that’s cherished by many customers – certainly not all. – Jim Barksdale

10781. I think the touchstone is to give consumers a full, fair choice without the power of a monopoly operating system pushing them in a direction that free competition might or might not achieve. – Jim Barksdale

10782. It is because the people are citizens that they are with safety armed. – Joel Barlow

10783. There are many advantages in their being accustomed to the use of arms, and no possible disadvantage. – Joel Barlow

10784. How could you fear a dearth? Have not mankind tho’ slain by millions, millions left behind? – Joel Barlow

10785. A habitual disuse of physical forces totally destroys the moral; and men lose at once the power of protecting themselves, and of discerning the cause of their oppression. – Joel Barlow

10786. Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge. – John Perry Barlow

10787. You do not know our culture, our ethics, or the unwritten codes that already provide our society more order than could be obtained by any of your impositions. – John Perry Barlow

10788. We will create a civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before. – John Perry Barlow

10789. They seem to have forgotten that, and are back saying the only purpose of P2P networks is for illegal trading of owned goods. We claim part of the reason for P2P is for legal trading of what ought to be in public domain. And what is in public domain in many cases. – John Perry Barlow

10790. The one thing that I know government is good for is countervailing against monopoly. It’s not great at that either, but it’s the only force I know that is fairly reliable. – John Perry Barlow

10791. The Internet treats censorship as a malfunction and routes around it. – John Perry Barlow

10792. So I’m just waiting until one party or the other actually gets a moral compass and a backbone. – John Perry Barlow

10793. Relying on the government to protect your privacy is like asking a peeping tom to install your window blinds. – John Perry Barlow

10794. Most libertarians are worried about government but not worried about business. I think we need to be worrying about business in exactly the same way we are worrying about government. – John Perry Barlow

10795. In Cyberspace, the First Amendment is a local ordinance. – John Perry Barlow

10796. But generally speaking, I felt to engage in the political process was to sully oneself to such a degree that whatever came out wasn’t worth the trouble put in. – John Perry Barlow

10797. If all ideas have to be bought, then you have an intellectually regressive system that will assure you have a highly knowledgeable elite and an ignorant mass. – John Perry Barlow

10798. Royalties are not how most writers or musicians make their living. Musicians by and large make a living with a relationship with an audience that is economically harnessed through performance and ticket sales. – John Perry Barlow

10799. I’m still strongly opposed to antismoking laws, strongly opposed to any law that regulates personal behavior. – John Perry Barlow

10800. I personally think intellectual property is an oxymoron. Physical objects have a completely different natural economy than intellectual goods. It’s a tricky thing to try to own something that remains in your possession even after you give it to many others. – John Perry Barlow

10801. I mean I look forward to the day when I can be Republican again. – John Perry Barlow

10802. I don’t know that I believe in the supernatural, but I do believe in miracles, and our time together was filled with the events of magical unlikelihood. – John Perry Barlow

10803. Everyone seems to be playing well within the boundaries of his usual rule set. I have yet to hear anyone say something that seemed likely to mitigate the idiocy of this age. – John Perry Barlow

10804. But groundless hope, like unconditional love, is the only kind worth having. – John Perry Barlow

10805. It didn’t matter what we did or where we did it as long as we were together. We knew we’d found what most people either pursue in years of futile search or dismiss as a fantasy at the outset: the missing half of ourselves. The real thing. – John Perry Barlow

10806. Organizations endure, however, in proportion to the breadth of the morality by which they are governed. Thus the endurance of organization depends upon the quality of leadership; and that quality derives from the breadth of the morality upon which it rests. – Chester Irving Barnard

10807. I don’t believe medical discoveries are doing much to advance human life. As fast as we create ways to extend it we are inventing ways to shorten it. – Christiaan Barnard

10808. The prime goal is to alleviate suffering, and not to prolong life. And if your treatment does not alleviate suffering, but only prolongs life, that treatment should be stopped. – Christiaan Barnard

10809. Suffering isn’t ennobling, recovery is. – Christiaan Barnard

10810. On Saturday, I was a surgeon in South Africa, very little known. On Monday, I was world renowned. – Christiaan Barnard

10814. It is quite possible we may have formed entirely erroneous ideas of what we actually see. The greenish gray patches may not be seas at all, nor the ruddy continents, solid land. Neither may the obscuring patches be clouds of vapor. – Edward E. Barnard

10815. It is well to fetter the wings of our fancy and restrain its flights. – Edward E. Barnard

10816. Man is too quick at forming conclusions. – Edward E. Barnard

10819. To give a child animal products is a form of child abuse. – Neal Barnard

10820. The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. – Neal Barnard

10823. Chicken fat, beef fat, fish fat, fried foods – these are the foods that fuel our fat genes by giving them raw materials for building body fat. – Neal Barnard

10824. A vegan diet takes care of most of what we need to do. But you’ll also want to minimize the use of oils generally, because while olive oil and other vegetable oils are better for your heart than chicken fat, they are as fattening as animal fats. – Neal Barnard

10830. The Bible, as a revelation from God, was not designed to give us all the information we might desire, nor to solve all the questions about which the human soul is perplexed, but to impart enough to be a safe guide to the haven of eternal rest. – Albert Barnes

10842. To love without criticism is to be betrayed. – Djuna Barnes

10850. After all, it is not where one washes one’s neck that counts but where one moistens one’s throat. – Djuna Barnes

10853. The night is a skin pulled over the head of day that the day may be in torment. – Djuna Barnes

10854. Obama specializes in knocking down straw men. “I reject the view that says our problems will simply take care of themselves,” he said, implying that’s the view of Republicans. It’s the view of almost no one. – Fred Barnes

10855. The mainstream media may have trouble resisting the temptation to declare that Karl Rove has been demoted, but the truth is quite the contrary. By giving up his role as deputy White House chief of staff, Rove has been freed to do what he does best: shape big issues and develop strategies to win elections. – Fred Barnes

10856. President Obama insists he’s a free-market guy. But you have to wonder whether he understands how a free economy really works. – Fred Barnes

10857. Obama sounded like Al Gore on global warming. The more the case for man-made warming falls apart, the more hysterical Gore gets about an imminent catastrophe. The more public support his stimulus bill loses, the more Obama embraces fear-mongering. – Fred Barnes

10858. Candidates don’t have to deal with reality. They talk about the wonderful things they can accomplish as if advocating them is the same as achieving them. They live in a world of political make-believe in which everything from reconciling conflicting interests to paying for costly programs is easy. – Fred Barnes

10859. Presidents with strong nerves are decisive. They don’t balk at unpopular decisions. They are willing to make people angry. Bush had strong nerves. Clinton, who passed up a chance to eliminate Osama bin Laden, did not. Obama is a people pleaser, a trait not normally associated with nerves of steel. – Fred Barnes

10860. As I’ve explained to my wife many times, you have to kill your wife or mistress to get on the front page of the papers. – Julian Barnes

10861. Books say: she did this because. Life says: she did this. Books are where things are explained to you, life where things aren’t. – Julian Barnes

10862. The land of embarrassment and breakfast. – Julian Barnes

10863. The gun dealer is not only paying these two police officers, but more importantly, the gun dealer has said he will never again sell more than one gun to a customer. This is exactly what we’re trying to get the gun industry across the country to do. – Michael D. Barnes

10864. We’ve got activists all across the country like the members of the Million Mom March organization, some of their leaders are here tonight. We’re phone banking congressional offices and pursuing editorial boards. – Michael D. Barnes

10867. They have some pretty tough gun laws in Japan, as they do in any other civilized country in the world, and they’re not killing each other off with firearms. You have very violent films in Europe, yet it’s not causing the mayhem we see in our streets routinely here. – Michael D. Barnes

10868. Who’s paying the million bucks? The insurance company. We’ve been trying for years to get the insurance industry to say to the gun industry, We won’t insure you unless you have policies that will reduce the likelihood of guns falling into the wrong hands easily. – Michael D. Barnes

10869. The vast majority of Americans agree with us. We’re doing everything that we can. We’re advertising, right now we’re on television with an advertisement running in the Washington area. We’ve got newspaper ads. – Michael D. Barnes

10870. Should we have background checks, waiting periods? To drive a car you have to pass a test that shows you know how to drive your car safely, you should have to do the same thing with guns. – Michael D. Barnes

10871. Let me share some facts with you about the law in most of our country. California is in many ways a little different from the rest of the world, and California has better gun laws than many states, although California’s need to be improved. – Michael D. Barnes

10872. It’s a tragedy, but with your support and your help we will wage this fight and we’re going to win it. – Michael D. Barnes

10873. If you are a gun manufacturer, the product you make is not subject to safety regulation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Toy guns are subject to safety regulation; water pistols are, but not real guns. – Michael D. Barnes

10874. If today is your typical day in America, 80 of our fellow citizens will die from gunfire. In the last two weeks, more Americans have died from gunfire here at home in the United States than in the entire war in Iraq since it started. – Michael D. Barnes

10875. Every place in the country you should get a license that shows you know how to safely store it, keep it away from your children or grandchildren. You should have to license it so the police can trace it if it’s used in a crime. – Michael D. Barnes

10876. But there are 90 million gun owners in the United States. Only 3.5 million want the insurance and magazines and the various things you get for joining the NRA. – Michael D. Barnes

10877. There should be a background check every time a firearm is transferred. You shouldn’t be able to go to a gun show and buy guns without a background check. There are Internet gun sales, classified ads in the newspapers – and you can buy guns without background checks. – Michael D. Barnes

10878. The fight for sanity in our gun safety laws is not by any means over. In many ways it’s just beginning. – Michael D. Barnes

10883. I don’t know if you’ve noticed it. But Duchamp was magnificent. – Robert Barnes

10884. What I am telling you is that Matta had a way of making you feel comfortable and that’s probably why he had nine wives because he made them feel comfortable and then uncomfortable later. – Robert Barnes

10885. I just did what I did and I still am. It makes you unpopular, maybe for a lifetime, but I’d rather do that than be popular and doubt what I am. – Robert Barnes

10886. There is no country on earth with a stronger tradition of protecting the public’s right to know. – Roy Barnes

10887. Repeating a grade needs to be the last resort, not an automatic response to a child who is struggling to learn. – Roy Barnes

10896. We made a good start toward preserving recreational areas like the Chattahoochee River. – Roy Barnes

10897. What I am proposing this year are not lofty concepts far removed form the daily struggle so of ordinary Georgians. They are proposals that directly effect the lives of the people we serve. – Roy Barnes

10899. We will never forget those like my great-grandfather who fought at Vicksburg. – Roy Barnes

10900. Business and the state have a common interest; not an adversarial interest. – Roy Barnes

10901. Neither political party is clean when it comes to tactics that divide our people. – Roy Barnes

10902. And one of the things I’ve tried to do in my first months in office is to give more Georgians – reporters and members of the general public alike – a closer look at how their government works. – Roy Barnes

10903. After all, I have spent the better part of my adult life insisting that government be open… that government be accessible… and that government be held accountable to people who voted us into office. – Roy Barnes

10914. I want to go to sea. – Joshua Barney

10915. I have a need to make these sorts of connections literal sometimes, and a vehicle often helps to do that. I have a relationship to car culture. It isn’t really about loving cars. It’s sort of about needing them. – Matthew Barney

10917. I’ve always thought of the project as a sort of sexually driven digestive system, that it was a consumer and a producer of matter. And it is desire driven, rather than driven by hunger or anything like that. – Matthew Barney

10918. An interesting thing happened in 1989, right as I was graduating: the stock market crashed and really changed the landscape of the art world in New York. It made the kind of work I was doing interesting to galleries that wouldn’t have normally been interested in it. – Matthew Barney

10919. A lot of my work has to do with not allowing my characters to have an ego in a way that the stomach doesn’t have an ego when it’s wanting to throw up. It just does it. – Matthew Barney

10921. A lot of these angles are really about trying to mimic broadcast sports angles in order to anchor the scene, to sort of normalize it before it becomes abstracted. – Matthew Barney

10929. Time engraves our faces with all the tears we have not shed. – Natalie Clifford Barney

10948. When men make themselves into brutes it is just to treat them like brutes. – Amelia Barr

10951. The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships, but with the people you meet on them. – Amelia Barr

10952. The fate of love is that it always seems too little or too much. – Amelia Barr

10953. That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life. – Amelia Barr

10954. It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it. – Amelia Barr

10962. Old age is the verdict of life. – Amelia Barr

10982. Women complain about PMS, but I think of it as the only time of the month when I can be myself. – Roseanne Barr

10983. My hope is that gays will be running the world, because then there would be no war. Just a greater emphasis on military apparel. – Roseanne Barr
