115828. I have been very fortunate as to escape through another day’s very severe fighting and escaped unhurt. – John H. Morgan
115829. It is made the duty of every Commanding Officer in the Department, to arrest and send to these Headquarters, under guard, every officer or soldier who may be found absent from his command, without the regular leave in writing, prescribed by Regulations and General Orders. – John H. Morgan
115830. Our loss was very heavy, especially in the officers. Capt. Sale, of Co. E, Duke’s regt, was among the killed, making the third Capt. that has been killed in that company. – John H. Morgan
115831. The Gen. Commanding, takes this means of informing the people that he has not come among them to disturb them in the enjoyment of their rights, either of person or property. – John H. Morgan
115832. The Home Guards are required to come in at once and deliver up their arms, those who fail to do so will be regarded as enemies of the Government and treated accordingly. – John H. Morgan
115833. Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves. – Julia Morgan
115834. My buildings will be my legacy… they will speak for me long after I’m gone. – Julia Morgan
115835. Never turn down a job because you think it’s too small; you don’t know where it can lead. – Julia Morgan
115836. I write as a way of keeping myself going. You build your life around writing, and it’s what gets you through. So it’s partly just curiosity to see what you can do. – Robert Morgan
115837. The great watershed of modern poetry is French, more than English. – Robert Morgan
115838. One of the most powerful devices is to distort time, to go from human time to atomic time, geologic time. Sometimes you can actually accomplish that, with one unexpected word choice. – Robert Morgan
115839. One of the most powerful devices of poetry is the use of distortions. You can go from talking about the way a minute passes to the way a century passes, or a lifetime. – Robert Morgan
115840. Our most famous writers are Faulkner and Eudora Welty and Flannery O’Connor. It would make sense that the poetry would reflect some of those same values, some of the same techniques. – Robert Morgan
115841. Part of what we love about poetry is the fact that it seems ancient, that it has an authority of ancient language and ancient form, and that it’s timeless, that it reaches back. – Robert Morgan
115842. Philip Larkin has a tough honesty and sense of humor that I find irresistible, as a contemporary poet. – Robert Morgan
115843. Poetry, almost by definition, calls attention to its language and form. – Robert Morgan
115844. Pound’s translation of Chinese poetry was maybe the most important thing I read. Eliot a little bit later. – Robert Morgan
115845. Some people swear by writing courses, but whether it really helps American poetry, I have doubts. – Robert Morgan
115846. Some people want to call me an Appalachian writer, even though I know some people use regional labels to belittle. – Robert Morgan
115847. Southern poets are still writing narrative poems, poems in forms, dramatic poems. – Robert Morgan
115848. Teaching writing over the years intrudes on your own writing in important ways, taking away some of the excitement of poetry. – Robert Morgan
115849. One of the biggest changes that ever occurred in my life was going from the isolation of working part-time as a house painter in Henderson County, to Cornell, where everybody was a literary person. – Robert Morgan
115850. The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse. – Robert Morgan
115851. The Black Mountain poet I like most is the early Creeley. Those early poems seem very lyrical and very traditional, with a lot of voice and character. – Robert Morgan
115852. The idea of avant-garde art is a very suspicious thing to me, the idea that poetry is new and it keeps being new the way Chevrolets every year are new. – Robert Morgan
115853. The Language Poets are writing only about language itself. The Ashbery poets are writing only about poetry itself. That seems to me a kind of dead end. – Robert Morgan
115854. The young people have MTV and rock and roll. Why would they go to read poetry? Poetry belongs to the Stone Age. It awakens in us perceptions that go back to those times. – Robert Morgan
115855. We have a lot of long narrative poems written in the 20th century, but they’re not very well known, and they’re not read by very many people. – Robert Morgan
115856. What actually makes poetry poetry is of course impossible to define. We recognize it when we hear it, when we see it, but we can’t define it. – Robert Morgan
115857. When you have an idea for a story, you want those characters to reach as many people as you can. I think you normally think of prose as a way of doing that. It fits our time, the culture. – Robert Morgan
115858. With prose you can incorporate more details, develop scenes, sustain the tension in a special way. Prose has its own speed. – Robert Morgan
115859. You have to really dive deep back into yourself and get rid of so much modern analytical categorization. It’s one of the great things poetry does. – Robert Morgan
115860. Young writers find their first audience in little magazines, and experimental writers find their only audience there. – Robert Morgan
115861. Young writers only take off when they find their subjects. Since almost everyone has a family and stories about family, that is often a place to start. – Robert Morgan
115862. I tell students they will know they are getting somewhere when a scene is so painful they can just barely bring themselves to write about it. A writer has to draw blood. – Robert Morgan
115863. The best books of our times have included the three mature volumes of Philip Larkin. They’re very short books of poems, and very carefully arranged. – Robert Morgan
115864. I encourage students to pursue an idea far enough so they can see what the cliches and stereotypes are. Only then do they begin to hit pay dirt. – Robert Morgan
115865. The fact that something is in a rhymed form or in blank verse will not make it good poetry. – Robert Morgan
115866. Neither of my parents has been very sensitive about my writing. – Robert Morgan
115867. Alchemy is the art of far and near, and I think poetry is alchemy in that way. It’s delightful to distort size, to see something that’s tiny as though it were vast. – Robert Morgan
115868. Among the American contemporaries I read with most enjoyment are several North Carolinians. I think the best poetry being written these days is being written by Southerners. – Robert Morgan
115869. Distance not only gives nostalgia, but perspective, and maybe objectivity. – Robert Morgan
115870. Fiction is about intimacy with characters, events, places. – Robert Morgan
115871. I considered going to film school; I took a course in film and was very interested in filmmaking as well as film writing. – Robert Morgan
115872. I did not have a very literary background. I came to poetry from the sciences and mathematics, and also through an interest in Japanese and Chinese poetry in translation. – Robert Morgan
115873. I don’t think American poetry has gotten any better in the past 35 years. Oddly enough, creative writing programs seem to have been good for fiction, and I would not have predicted that. – Robert Morgan
115874. I don’t think the creative writing industry has helped American poetry. – Robert Morgan
115875. I have taught students from the New York City area so long I have a special affinity and rapport with them. It surprises me sometimes that there are students from anywhere else. – Robert Morgan
115876. I learned to impersonate the kind of person that talks about poetry. It comes from teaching, I think. – Robert Morgan
115877. A poem in form still has to have voice, gesture, a sense of discovery, a metaphoric connection, as any poetry does. – Robert Morgan
115878. In the best fiction, the language itself can become almost invisible. – Robert Morgan
115879. Maybe the example of Southern fiction writing has been so powerful that Southern poets have sort of keyed themselves to that. – Robert Morgan
115880. It was less a literary thing than a linguistic, philosophical preoccupation… discovering how far you can go with language to create immediate, elementary experience. – Robert Morgan
115881. I don’t think poetry is something that can be taught. We can encourage young writers, but what you can’t teach them is the very essence of poetry. – Robert Morgan
115882. In the late 60s and early 70s, I did get interested in voices, and in narration and embodying the voice, making the poem sound like a real person talking. – Robert Morgan
115883. I love chapbooks. They’re in some ways the ideal form in which to publish and read poems. You can read 19 poems in a way you can’t sit down and read 60 to 70 pages of poems. – Robert Morgan
115884. If people associate me with a region, that’s fine with me. – Robert Morgan
115885. If a poem is not memorable, there’s probably something wrong. One of the problems of free verse is that much of the free verse poetry is not memorable. – Robert Morgan
115886. I love to compare different time frames. Poetry can evoke the time of the subject. By a very careful choice of words you can evoke an era, completely throw the poem into a different time scale. – Robert Morgan
115887. I think that it’s more likely that in my 60s and 70s I will be writing poetry rather than fiction. – Robert Morgan
115888. I seem to keep returning to my father in poems because his personality was so extreme, so driven. He did everything to excess. – Robert Morgan
115889. I love to create interesting textures with language. You can do it as long as it seems like a discovery. – Robert Morgan
115890. A lot of my students are Asian-American, and it has been thrilling to watch them break through the stereotypes into something alive and surprising. – Robert Morgan
115891. In the later books I am much more at home in the use of language to describe things. I had never thought of that until a critic pointed that out. – Robert Morgan
115892. Sexism is not the fault of women – kill your fathers, not your mothers. – Robin Morgan
115893. The Roman Catholic church… carries the immense power of very directly affecting women’s lives everywhere by its stand against birth control and abortion. – Robin Morgan
115894. There’s something contagious about demanding freedom. – Robin Morgan
115895. We are the women men warned us about. – Robin Morgan

115897. White males are the most responsible for the destruction of human life and environment on the planet today. – Robin Morgan
115898. Women are not inherently passive or peaceful. – Robin Morgan
115899. Don’t accept rides from strange men – and remember that all men are strange as hell. – Robin Morgan
115900. Oppression is something that one group of people commits against another group specifically because of a threatening characteristic shared by the latter group. – Robin Morgan
115901. We’re not inherently anything but human. – Robin Morgan
115902. Let’s put one lie to rest for all time: the lie that men are oppressed, too, by sexism-the lie that there can be such a thing as men’s liberation groups. – Robin Morgan
115903. Legitimate revolution must be led by, made by those who have been most oppressed: black, brown, yellow, red, and white women-with men relating to that the best they can. – Robin Morgan
115904. Knowledge is power. Information is power. The secreting or hoarding of knowledge or information may be an act of tyranny camouflaged as humility. – Robin Morgan
115905. It isn’t until you begin to fight in your own cause that you become really committed to winning and become a genuine ally of other people struggling for their freedom. – Robin Morgan
115906. In the long run, Women’s Liberation will of course free men-but in the short run it’s going to COST men a lot of privilege, which no one gives up willingly or easily. – Robin Morgan
115907. I feel that man-hating is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them. – Robin Morgan
115908. I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman, out of her own genuine affection and desire. – Robin Morgan
115909. Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love. – Robin Morgan
115910. Only she who attempts the absurd can achieve the impossible. – Robin Morgan
115911. I am an artist and a political being as well. – Robin Morgan
115912. Howard Hughes was able to afford the luxury of madness, like a man who not only thinks he is Napoleon but hires an army to prove it. – Ted Morgan
115913. The stammer was a way of telling the world that he was not like others, a way of expressing his singularity. – Ted Morgan
115914. For each chromosome contributed by the sperm there is a corresponding chromosome contributed by the egg, there are two chromosomes of each kind, which together constitute a pair. – Thomas Hunt Morgan
115915. One of the most amazing developments in the history of biology. – Thomas Hunt Morgan
115916. The egg of every species of animal or plant carries a definite number of bodies called chromosomes. The sperm carries the same number. Consequently, when the sperm unites with the egg, the fertilized egg will contain the double number of chromosomes. – Thomas Hunt Morgan
115917. Two years work wasted, I have been breeding those flies for all that time and I’ve got nothing out of it. – Thomas Hunt Morgan
115918. For I never have seen, and never shall see, that the cessation of the evidence of existence is necessarily evidence of the cessation of existence. – William De Morgan
115919. I don’t want to achieve immortality by being inducted into the Hall of Fame. I want to achieve immortality by not dying. – William De Morgan
115920. The first principle of child-rearing is to choose a good mother. – Christian Morgenstern
115921. The hidden child wants to be able to participate and to co-create in art, rather than being simply an admiring viewer. – Christian Morgenstern
115922. Home is not where you live, but where they understand you. – Christian Morgenstern
115923. I was playing in other rock bands. Any of those bands didn’t last long. – Ikue Mori
115924. Actually, there was another band where we were three girls, around ’84 when I met John Zorn, called Sunset Chorus. It was just bass and drums and guitar- we didn’t make any records but we played a lot of different clubs in New York. – Ikue Mori
115925. With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over. – Ikue Mori
115926. The way I create music is maybe like a painting, to compose in a more visual way. Basically it’s the music that I want to hear- that’s my inspiration and bottom line. I just try to get ideas from books, movies, paintings. – Ikue Mori
115927. The most important thing is that it’s much more fun to play in a band than to be in an audience in a club. That’s the main thing I think, that you can do it. – Ikue Mori
115928. Somebody gave me this drum machine and somebody else asked me to program something for a project. I really liked programming and I was really interested in using the drum machine. – Ikue Mori
115929. So now I don’t have time to practice drums. It’s been five years since I’ve touched the drums. – Ikue Mori
115930. Mars is really different, into art. Lydia Lunch is more energy. James Chance is more commercial in a different way, in funk and jazz. They were all doing original things, trying to create their own sound and music. I think they’re all great. – Ikue Mori
115931. Improvising things is always changing. A lot of momentum. – Ikue Mori
115932. I’m interested in stories and the dark side of peoples’ minds. – Ikue Mori
115933. I still think that I’m playing instruments, not just pushing buttons and there it goes. It’s interactive and alive with the sound and the manipulation and it plays like instruments. – Ikue Mori
115934. I really didn’t intend to be a musician when I left Japan. – Ikue Mori
115935. I got tired of different drum sounds so you buy different effects for more manipulation. – Ikue Mori
115936. I always wanted to get out of Tokyo and in 1977, New York seemed like the most interesting place to visit. I didn’t intend to live here- I just wanted to get out and see what was happening. I just happened to stay here then. – Ikue Mori
115937. Come to think of it, the way I play is like a drum machine- very mechanical. – Ikue Mori
115938. Blood and death. That moves me. – Ikue Mori
115939. Because it’s dance music, you can’t really have a lot of changing in there. It’s really not for me because there’s too much repetition. I like more diversity. – Ikue Mori
115940. I’ve done some music for films and I really enjoy doing it. – Ikue Mori
115941. Japan is the only country in the world which suffered from the scourge of nuclear weapons. – Yoshiro Mori
115942. A vote for Japan is a vote for the future of rugby. We will do our best to make rugby a global sport. – Yoshiro Mori

115944. It is my strong hope that an environment will be created in which both of our countries can cooperate for the realization of a world without nuclear weapons. – Yoshiro Mori
115945. The mayor has got to work closely with a wide variety of people, his city council, state legislature, governor, business community, labor community, president and the congress in order to be able to do this. – Marc Morial
115946. We’ve lost our city. I fear it’s potentially like Pompeii. – Marc Morial
115947. We stand ready to work together, where possible, in helping rebuild not only homes and businesses, but most importantly, lives of those who so desperately need our help. – Marc Morial
115948. We must continue to have voting rights in the state, not to politicize this, but they must have a voice in the rebuilding effort in the community from which they have been displaced. – Marc Morial
115949. We have to remember that Dr. King was not an idle dreamer. Dr. King was a man of action. If Dr. King were here, he would challenge us and exhort us. – Marc Morial
115950. The Society of American Civil Engineers, someone who’s going to come in and say to the public, we’ve looked at, we’ve examined, we’ve reviewed the repairs and we think they’re strong enough to withstand the type of hurricane that – that could hit the city this season. – Marc Morial
115951. Technology is permeating every single thing we do… And to the extent that we can better expose our young people to all the different ways that technology can be used, not just for video games or toys, we’re planning for the future. – Marc Morial
115952. Rosa Parks was the queen mother of a movement whose single act of heroism sparked the movement for freedom, justice and equality. Her greatest contribution is that she told us a regular person can make a difference. – Marc Morial
115953. Money is not our primary aim. Changing the behavior and the practice of the gun industry is. – Marc Morial
115954. For me, I have no political ego in this thing with respect to any other leader and what they might feel is appropriate or necessary in what they’re going to try to do… We need everybody on the front lines. – Marc Morial
115955. Because you basically won a close re-election, your first task is to unify the city. And it’s done not with words but with actions, by reaching out, to the supporters of your opponent as well as to reassure your own supporters. – Marc Morial
115956. Because Katrina put it out there, no one can play the pretend game anymore that there isn’t poverty and inequality in this country. The Millions More Movement – Katrina gives it added significance. – Marc Morial
115957. A great American city is fighting for its life. – Marc Morial
115958. This – the leadership of the mayor is crucial, because it is to the mayor that people will look to provide the vision, the energy, and the sense of confidence in the rebuilding and the recovery. – Marc Morial
115959. I’ve had the most wonderful life. – Michael Moriarty
115960. When I got political that blew our marriage out of the water. I was not the same person and I admit that. – Michael Moriarty
115961. Life is best when you are in love. – Michael Moriarty
115962. I’ve become so earthy. And I never was earthy. I’m doing all kinds of different roles which are not at all like the intellectual and the legal mind of Ben Stone. – Michael Moriarty
115963. I’m very privileged to be the celebrity I am. – Michael Moriarty
115964. I was born first to music. But I went into acting because my father knew so much about music he intimidated me. So, I picked an art form, he knew nothing about. So I could be my own man. – Michael Moriarty
115965. As long as I’m an hour away from a major airport, I can get to that job. – Michael Moriarty
115966. Anything well written with good language and clarity and honesty is worth doing. It comes out of the same tradition as Shakespeare. – Michael Moriarty
115967. If they want to talk about aliens and anything like that… that’s part of the gift God gave us. That’s what makes life exciting. We’re pretty stuck, you know. What gives flight to our life is our imagination. – Michael Moriarty
115968. I wish people could acheive what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that thats not really what happiness is. – Alanis Morisette
115969. You live, you learn. – Alanis Morisette
115970. With honesty of purpose, balance, a respect for tradition, courage, and, above all, a philosophy of life, any young person who embraces the historical profession will find it rich in rewards and durable in satisfaction. – Samuel E. Morison
115971. Yet enthusiasm is no excuse for the historian going off balance. He should remind the reader that outcomes were neither inevitable nor foreordained, but subject to a thousand changes and chances. – Samuel E. Morison
115972. Too rigid specialization is almost as bad for a historian’s mind, and for his ultimate reputation, as too early an indulgence in broad generalization and synthesis. – Samuel E. Morison
115973. Throughout this evolution from left to right, Beard always detested war. Hence his writings were slanted to show that the military side of history was insignificant or a mere reflection of economic forces. – Samuel E. Morison
115974. The same contingencies of time and space that force a statesman or soldier to make decisions, impel the historian, though with less urgency, to make up his mind. – Samuel E. Morison
115975. So I have cultivated the vast garden of human experience which is history, without troubling myself overmuch about laws, essential first causes, or how it is all coming out. – Samuel E. Morison
115976. Skepticism is an important historical tool. It is the starting point of all revision of hitherto accepted history. – Samuel E. Morison
115977. Intellectual honesty is the quality that the public in free countries always has expected of historians; much more than that it does not expect, nor often get. – Samuel E. Morison
115978. If a lecturer, he wishes to be heard; if a writer, to be read. He always hopes for a public beyond that of the long-suffering wife. – Samuel E. Morison
115979. I have nothing revolutionary or even novel to offer. – Samuel E. Morison
115980. Historical methodology, as I see it, is a product of common sense applied to circumstances. – Samuel E. Morison
115981. Everyone agrees to that; but when we come to define truth, dissension starts. – Samuel E. Morison
115982. Every historian with professional standards speaks or writes what he believes to be true. – Samuel E. Morison
115983. Courses on historical methodology are not worth the time that they take up. I shall never give one myself, and I have observed that many of my colleagues who do give such courses refrain from exemplifying their methods by writing anything. – Samuel E. Morison
115984. Any child knows that history can only be a reduced representation of reality, but it must be a true one, not distorted by queer lenses. – Samuel E. Morison
115985. In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not. – Samuel E. Morison
115986. It is important to express oneself… provided the feelings are real and are taken from your own experience. – Berthe Morisot
115987. Real painters understand with a brush in their hand. – Berthe Morisot
115988. A love of nature is a consolation against failure. – Berthe Morisot
115989. In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming. – Alanis Morissette
115990. I’m doing it because I choose it. And if it’s not working, I can make a change. – Alanis Morissette
115991. I’ll keep evolving and put that into my songs. – Alanis Morissette
115992. I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful. – Alanis Morissette
115993. I was born in ’74, so I missed out on all the great early ’60s and early ’70s. – Alanis Morissette
115994. It’s when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn’t work for me. – Alanis Morissette
115995. I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art, but just as a person. – Alanis Morissette
115996. What I try to keep in mind is that there are going to be a lot of articles that are going to be misrepresentative of what I’m about as a person and as a writer. – Alanis Morissette
115997. I want to walk through life instead of being dragged through it. – Alanis Morissette
115998. Making a movie requires 20 to 500 people to make and a lot of money and the stakes are a lot higher. – Alanis Morissette
115999. The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss. – Alanis Morissette
116000. The thing I always default to is that I’ll always be here to write songs. – Alanis Morissette
