116207. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it without a sense of ironic futility. – Errol Morris

116208. We do recognise the need to move towards the publication of information showing the progress made by pupils from one stage of their education to another. – Estelle Morris

116209. In the 21st century when few of us stay in the same job all our lives, I would like to think there was flexibility so teachers could become social workers, or foster carers become teachers. – Estelle Morris

116210. My Department has already recognised this and has been working specifically on the technical support issue since January and will offer advice to schools during the Autumn term. – Estelle Morris

116211. OFSTED has made large cuts in the paperwork which schools are asked to provide and further steps to reduce the bureaucratic burden will be introduced in September. – Estelle Morris

116212. The need for improved technical support in schools has expanded as the Government and schools have increased their investment in information and communications technologies. – Estelle Morris

116213. There is a shortage of teachers but the January 2001 schools census showed that teacher numbers were at their highest level than at any time since 1984 – and 11,000 higher than 1997. – Estelle Morris

116214. This government has always said increasing pay is something for something. – Estelle Morris

116215. What politicians want to create is irreversible change because when you leave office someone changes it back again. – Estelle Morris

116216. Where the private sector, or anyone else, has skills, knowledge and resources that can help to deliver a high quality of education and to raise standards, we should use them. – Estelle Morris

116217. You have got to attract the brightest and the best, but the brightest and best won’t stay unless they see real career options. – Estelle Morris

116218. It is a very unusual sector and the one thing I would ask of them is to understand that for most of them one-third of their films are being financed by the taxpayer and that carries huge accountability and responsibility. – Estelle Morris

116219. If you invent the Mini Cooper, pour all your energy and passion into it and it gets made, you should be on a roll. In the film industry you have to start again the next day. – Estelle Morris

116220. There is nothing wrong with becoming more ambitious along the way, but I think what the government has asked the council to do is a perfectly good starting point. – Estelle Morris

116221. Headteachers and governing bodies run schools and that won’t change. – Estelle Morris

116222. If we can modernise the workforce, make them better qualified, have this framework of qualifications, then I think they have a very good case for more money. – Estelle Morris

116223. My focus and that of all members of the Government responsible for delivering services to the public is to make sure that the public sector can use all the skills it needs to do the job the public wants it to do. – Estelle Morris

116224. By creating useful job descriptions and making clear what qualifications should be expected, the Department aims to help improve schools’ ability to recruit the right people. – Estelle Morris

116225. However, the Government has made it clear that we do not encourage the recruitment of teachers from developing nations where there may be an adverse effect on the economy. – Estelle Morris

116226. I am confident that the vast majority of teachers will work with us towards achieving that goal. – Estelle Morris

116227. I do recognise that, where recruitment difficulties persist, teachers can be put under great pressure. – Estelle Morris

116228. I know there are things I did in education that will never be reversed. I have not done that in film yet because I have only been here for about nine months. – Estelle Morris

116229. I think film is a very powerful advocate and message carrier. – Estelle Morris

116230. If bringing up the next generation is important, why aren’t they the best qualified, the best paid? Why aren’t we as concerned about their career progression as we are about those who work in the education or health services? – Estelle Morris

116231. I want to give producers more financial security. – Estelle Morris

116232. At different times I taught humanities, social sciences and pre-vocational education. – Estelle Morris

116233. I was head of the Sixth Form Centre when I left the school. – Estelle Morris

116234. I taught for 17 years in an inner city comprehensive schools. – Estelle Morris

116235. Before this government came to power, many failing schools were simply allowed to drift on in a pattern of continuing failure. The government is determined to break that pattern and is successfully doing so. – Estelle Morris

116236. I happen to dig being able to use whatever mystique I have to further the idea of peace. – Garrett Morris

116237. Americans need never fear their government because of the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation. – Gouverneur Morris

116238. This magistrate is not the king. The people are the king. – Gouverneur Morris

116239. If the people should elect, they will never fail to prefer some man of distinguished character, or services; some man, if he might so speak of continental reputation. – Gouverneur Morris

116240. Religion is the solid basis of good morals; therefore education should teach the precepts of religion, and the duties of man toward God. – Gouverneur Morris

116241. When science and the Bible differ, science has obviously misinterpreted its data. – Henry M. Morris

116242. Creation is not taking place now, so far as can be observed. Therefore, it was accomplished sometime in the past, if at all, and thus is inaccessible to the scientific method. – Henry M. Morris

116243. It is impossible to devise a scientific experiment to describe the creation process, or even to ascertain whether such a process can take place. The Creator does not create at the whim of a scientist. – Henry M. Morris

116244. The evolutionary explanation for origins, although impossible either to prove or to test scientifically, is nevertheless defended by its proponents on the basis that it is the only explanation which is naturalistic, not involving the ‘supernatural’ element of a divine Creator. – Henry M. Morris

116245. Travel, which was once either a necessity or an adventure, has become very largely a commodity, and from all sides we are persuaded into thinking that it is a social requirement, too. – Jan Morris

116246. To the stern student of affairs, Beirut is a phenomenon, beguiling perhaps, but quite, quite impossible. – Jan Morris

116247. Its smallness is not petty; on the contrary, it is profound. – Jan Morris

116248. Indians love to reduce the prosaic to the mystic. – Jan Morris

116249. I consider myself very lucky. God has a funny way of bringing some things around and knocking you in the head with the ultimate destination. Something I should have achieved quite easily took me a long time to get around to. It came in His time, not mine. – Jim Morris

116250. I’d like to fly. Then I wouldn’t have to wait in airport security lines. – Jim Morris

116251. When you lay your life out there, you want it to be as true as possible. – Jim Morris

116252. There are plenty of homes but only one country. – Lewis Morris

116253. Perhaps… I mean there are people who defend that it as an art. I don’t. I like it but it’s not an art form as far as I’m concerned, and yet it’s a similar thing, once you can’t land those jumps, you’re disqualified – that precludes it from ever becoming a serious art form. – Mark Morris

116254. We’re all in the same room, so I want people to be involved with one another, but again you can’t decide exactly to what extent that operates. It varies all the time and it depends on the show, it depends on the audience, it depends on everything. – Mark Morris

116255. That piece has been choreographed so badly so many times. I’m loathe to do it but I may eventually because it is one of the seminal art works of the twentieth century. – Mark Morris

116256. I’m not after a closed system, I mean I’m after a complicated system in structure, but as far as watching it, I don’t think that everything should be decided. – Mark Morris

116257. I love the way in which I make up dances. It’s a complicated way and the product is usually clear. Clear and simple. I don’t need everybody to know that there are all of these fabulous things going on. If you CAN see it, that’s wonderful. – Mark Morris

116258. I build duets into bigger works. I like to see people working together. What we call a giant solo in my company is about four bars long while twenty other people are doing something dynamically. I like the charge that is set up by a lot of people doing something. – Mark Morris

116259. Disney is thrilling and informative and important and beautiful and suspect. Butts was a detail I observed later and definitely ties in. I suppose I was programmed, yeah. – Mark Morris

116260. Usually that’s going into biology in a certain way. There’s certain strengths and weaknesses to both of the sexes. And I’m not against employing those nor am I against denying those, what I am looking for is a very large array of options. – Mark Morris

116261. Well let’s see; I’m not obsessed with… I like Walt Disney except that you know, except for the horrible fascism. I love the art of it. I like a lot of things I don’t agree with and that’s one of them. – Mark Morris

116262. You can count on one hand the number of Novus Ordo churches in this country that feature a fully Catholic music program of any quality, consistent with the Roman rite tradition. – Richard Morris

116263. Ironically, we live in times that are awash in authentic sacred music. – Richard Morris

116264. As for sacred polyphony, there is no reason to be afraid of it. – Richard Morris

116265. At St. Francis de Sales in Atlanta, we do not have an organ. We do not have rehearsals during the week. We do not have a professional choir. – Richard Morris

116266. But nowadays hymns are the norm, because people don’t have much else to sing. – Richard Morris

116267. The democratic and pedestrian character of the new Mass itself seems to invite the ditties that pass for hymns these days. – Richard Morris

116268. Even Catholic parishes today are not wanting for talent. But no serious singer or organist will get anywhere near the typical music program, at least if he wants to retain his self-respect. – Richard Morris

116269. And this speaks to the larger problem that no one wants to talk about: the restoration of the Roman rite is a precondition for a long-term fix for the problem. – Richard Morris

116270. Inaudible prayers, particularly of the Canon, which at first don’t seem to have anything to do with music, end up being a very important part of the aesthetic of the traditional structure of the Mass. – Richard Morris

116271. Catholic liturgical music, it would seem, is everywhere but in the Catholic Church itself. – Richard Morris

116272. It bothers me when I hear it in a car commercial or some such. But for the most part, it’s better than seeing sacred music relegated to the scrap heap. – Richard Morris

116273. It would be difficult to discover the truth about the universe if we refused to consider anything that might be true. – Richard Morris

116274. Music had always been the handmaid of the Roman liturgy. – Richard Morris

116275. Never have so many recordings of the great Masses and motets been in wider circulation. – Richard Morris

116276. Once the Mass is restored to its rightful place, we will again see choirs being developed. – Richard Morris

116277. Participation is easily obtained with Latin chant. – Richard Morris

116278. Thus the slogan should be reversed: Catholics taught the world what music is supposed to sound like, and, more importantly, what it is supposed to mean. – Richard Morris

116279. The tunes, rhythms, and messages are drawn mainly from secular culture. – Richard Morris

116280. For two thousand years, the Church has guided the development of music, carefully legislating to fuse artistic talent and aesthetic beauty with the demands of the Faith. – Richard Morris

116281. You can read about it all you want, but there is no substitute for just doing it. – Richard Morris

116282. All you hear Catholics turning out these days are pop versions of the old Protestant anthems. – Richard Morris

116283. When the truth is that there would be no great Western music, and certainly no decent choral repertoire, without the Catholic faith. – Richard Morris

116284. Then suddenly the Roman liturgy disappeared as we knew it. – Richard Morris

116285. The pastor of a parish will typically have no education in the chant or in music, and he will hire the first music director who walks through the door. – Richard Morris

116286. Record stores have whole sections devoted to the chant. – Richard Morris

116287. There’s nothing stupider than bursting into song for seven seconds and then falling silent again. – Richard Morris

116288. So many of the sounds that contemporary composers were trying to create were to be found in the traditional musics of the world. That was encouraging but also little daunting to think that you had to work so hard to be new and yet it was old. – Robert Morris

116289. Well, I don’t know any piece by heart, but Mozart goes something like this… What do you think? – Robert Morris

116290. I do remember, though, when I discovered the third! I was about five years old – it was a very pleasing sound. I remembered that if I hit one note, then skipped one and played the next, I could get this really good sound. – Robert Morris

116291. I never presumed that a technique of composition or an idea was so special that just using it would guarantee the quality of the music. – Robert Morris

116292. The Burgess Shale is not unique, but for those who study evolution and fossils it has become something of an icon. It provides a reference point and a benchmark, a point of common discussion and an issue of universal scientific interest. – Simon Conway Morris

116293. By obtaining a sense of its place in the unfolding drama of life, set in an ecological theatre, so we can understand why it has become one of the leading players. – Simon Conway Morris

116294. Evolution is true, it happens, it is the way the world is, and we too are one of its products. This does not mean that evolution does not have metaphysical implications; I remain convinced that this is the case. – Simon Conway Morris

116295. If there were a clear prospect that such evils were part of a barbarian past, then at least we might find a small crumb of comfort. No such prospect exists: no scientific analysis can even remotely answer or account for past and present horrors of human behaviour. – Simon Conway Morris

116296. It is my opinion that human history can make no sense unless evil doings are recognized for what they are, and that they are bearable only if somehow they may be redeemed. – Simon Conway Morris

116297. If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. – William Morris

116298. It took me years to understand that words are often as important as experience, because words make experience last. – William Morris

116299. The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life. – William Morris

116300. The reward of labour is life. Is that not enough? – William Morris

116301. The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make. – William Morris

116302. So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die. – William Morris

116303. No man is good enough to be another’s master. – William Morris

116304. A man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works. – William Morris

116305. I pondered all these things, and how men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. – William Morris

116306. If you cannot learn to love real art at least learn to hate sham art. – William Morris

116307. I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few. – William Morris

116308. History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created. – William Morris

116309. Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. – William Morris

116310. Give me love and work – these two only. – William Morris

116311. Not on one strand are all life’s jewels strung. – William Morris

116312. His claim to his home is deep, but there are too many ghosts. He must absorb without being absorbed. – Willie Morris

116313. When a writer knows home in his heart, his heart must remain subtly apart from it. – Willie Morris

116314. We can no longer stand for the Security Council passing resolutions and then in effect heaving alongside and taking a vacation. We cannot leave it to the secretary general to go cap in hand. – Alex Morrison

116315. We know darned well that in Bosnia, certain governments and the secretary had said tens of thousands are needed in Srebrenica and those people were never provided. – Alex Morrison

116316. The Halifax area has long played a major role in Canada’s military operations, being the port of departure for convoys, naval task forces and army units over the past 100 years or so. – Alex Morrison

116317. I would hate to see operations in the Congo held hostage to Sierra Leone but I really think that’s the way it’s got to be. At one point we’ve got to decide to get it right and we’ve got to be professional. – Alex Morrison

116318. I think they do have to get it right in Sierra Leone. There has to be something in there now to establish confidence, to stabilize the situation, and then to move to some sort of political negotiations. – Alex Morrison

116319. I do believe that the United Nations needs to have more exacting, more enhanced professional standards for the military peacekeepers that are deployed. – Alex Morrison

116320. I also believe that member states of the United Nations should live up their obligations to pay their dues. – Alex Morrison

116321. However, I think, first of all, that what’s happening in Sierra Leone is going to have the great influence on those governments who will be asked to provide forces to the Congo. Second, of course, the Security Council has no professional military advice organized in any way. – Alex Morrison

116322. As Brian Urquhart has said quite correctly, I don’t think that individual countries in the international community can stand aside and let all of these slaughters continue without doing anything. – Alex Morrison

116323. I think there has to be greater heed paid by the Security Council members to military advice. – Alex Morrison

116324. All of us who are convinced that our military needs all the support the government and public will provide are pleased that he will have his chance to do just that. – Alex Morrison

116325. You must first clearly see a thing in your mind before you can do it. – Alex Morrison

116326. This is the strangest life I’ve ever known. – Jim Morrison

116327. It’s like gambling somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don’t know where your going to end up the next day. It could work out good or it could be disastrous. It’s like the throw of the dice. – Jim Morrison

116328. Listen, real poetry doesn’t say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through anyone that suits you. – Jim Morrison

116329. Love cannot save you from your own fate. – Jim Morrison

116330. Music inflames temperament. – Jim Morrison

116331. Whoever controls the media, controls the mind. – Jim Morrison

116332. Sex is full of lies. The body tries to tell the truth. But, it’s usually too battered with rules to be heard, and bound with pretenses so it can hardly move. We cripple ourselves with lies. – Jim Morrison

116333. The appeal of cinema lies in the fear of death. – Jim Morrison

116334. The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. – Jim Morrison

116335. The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder. – Jim Morrison

116336. There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors. – Jim Morrison

116337. Violence isn’t always evil. What’s evil is the infatuation with violence. – Jim Morrison

116338. We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict. – Jim Morrison

116339. When you make your peace with authority, you become authority. – Jim Morrison

116340. Where’s your will to be weird? – Jim Morrison

116341. If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it’s to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel. – Jim Morrison

116342. People fear death even more than pain. It’s strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend. – Jim Morrison

116343. The time to hesitate is through. – Jim Morrison

116344. Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free. – Jim Morrison

116345. Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts. – Jim Morrison

116346. A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself. – Jim Morrison

116347. Actually I don’t remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs. – Jim Morrison

116348. Blake said that the body was the soul’s prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the senses the ‘windows of the soul.’ When sex involves all the senses intensely, it can be like a mystical experence. – Jim Morrison

116349. Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws. – Jim Morrison

116350. I’m interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that appears to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom. – Jim Morrison

116351. Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors. – Jim Morrison

116352. Film spectators are quiet vampires. – Jim Morrison

116353. Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself – and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is. – Jim Morrison

116354. Hatred is a very underestimated emotion. – Jim Morrison

116355. I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom… Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical. – Jim Morrison

116356. I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown. – Jim Morrison

116357. I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think. I mean if you can get a whole room full of drunk, stoned people to actually wake up and think, you’re doing something. – Jim Morrison

116358. I like people who shake other people up and make them feel uncomfortable. – Jim Morrison

116359. I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments. – Jim Morrison

116360. I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences. – Jim Morrison

116361. I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments. – Jim Morrison

116362. Drugs are a bet with your mind. – Jim Morrison

116363. My piece in One World or None was the description of the effect of a single atomic bomb on New York City. – Philip Morrison

116364. Neither our oceans nor our radar nor our fighters can keep us intact through another major war. – Philip Morrison

116365. We did not speak in terms of strategy, in terms of overall economies, in terms of production and territorial conquest. We spoke of the impact of the bomb on the homes and the hopes of men and women. – Philip Morrison

116366. Teach your children how to behave with animals. Adopt a pet. Don’t go buy one. Please. That’s a sin. Let’s get these puppy mills out of business. – Shelley Morrison

116367. We have to bring the humanity and compassion back. – Shelley Morrison

116368. I’m a character actress. – Shelley Morrison

116369. I love to work. – Shelley Morrison

116370. If we sit by and become complacent and put our heads in the sand, we’re complicit. – Shelley Morrison

116371. Somebody has to take responsibility for being a leader. – Toni Morrison

116372. If you’re going to hold someone down you’re going to have to hold on by the other end of the chain. You are confined by your own repression. – Toni Morrison

116373. In becoming an American, from Europe, what one has in common with that other immigrant is contempt for me-it’s nothing else but color. – Toni Morrison

116374. In this country American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate. – Toni Morrison

116375. It’s been mentioned or suggested that Paradise will not be well studied, because it’s about this unimportant intellectual topic, which is religion. – Toni Morrison

116376. Love is or it ain’t. Thin love ain’t love at all. – Toni Morrison

116377. Make a difference about something other than yourselves. – Toni Morrison

116378. My children are delightful people, whom I would love even if they weren’t my children. – Toni Morrison

116379. Nelson Mandela is, for me, the single statesman in the world. The single statesman, in that literal sense, who is not solving all his problems with guns. It’s truly unbelievable. – Toni Morrison

116380. No one ever talks about the moment you found that you were white. Or the moment you found out you were black. That’s a profound revelation. The minute you find that out, something happens. You have to renegotiate everything. – Toni Morrison

116381. One of my kids was born in 1968. There were going to be political difficulties, but they were never going to have that level of hatred and contempt that my brothers and my sister and myself were exposed to. – Toni Morrison

116382. Schools must stop being holding pens to keep energetic young people off the job market and off the streets. We stretch puberty out a long, long time. – Toni Morrison

116383. You marvel at the economy and this choice of words. How many ways can you describe the sky and the moon? After Sylvia Plath, what can you say? – Toni Morrison

116384. Some Native American writers enjoy being called Native American writers. – Toni Morrison

116385. The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power. – Toni Morrison

116386. The body is ready to have babies. Nature wants it done then, when the body can handle it, not after 40, when the income can handle it. – Toni Morrison

116387. The unflattering reviews are painful for short periods of time; the badly written ones are deeply, deeply insulting. That reviewer took no time to really read the book. – Toni Morrison

116388. There is nothing of any consequence in education, in the economy, in city planning, in social policy that does not concern black people. – Toni Morrison

116389. There is really nothing more to say-except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how. – Toni Morrison

116390. We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives. – Toni Morrison

116391. When there is pain, there are no words. All pain is the same. – Toni Morrison

116392. Women’s rights is not only an abstraction, a cause; it is also a personal affair. It is not only about us; it is also about me and you. Just the two of us. – Toni Morrison

116393. You need a whole community to raise a child. I have raised two children, alone. – Toni Morrison

116394. If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it. – Toni Morrison

116395. She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It’s good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind. – Toni Morrison

116396. At some point in life the world’s beauty becomes enough. You don’t need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough. – Toni Morrison

116397. If there’s a book you really want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it. – Toni Morrison

116398. All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was. – Toni Morrison

116399. As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you think. – Toni Morrison

116400. Black boys became criminalized. I was in constant dread for their lives, because they were targets everywhere. They still are. – Toni Morrison

116401. Black literature is taught as sociology, as tolerance, not as a serious, rigorous art form. – Toni Morrison

116403. Black people have always been used as a buffer in this country between powers to prevent class war. – Toni Morrison

116414. I wrote my first novel because I wanted to read it. – Toni Morrison

116415. I’m always annoyed about why black people have to bear the brunt of everybody else’s contempt. If we are not totally understanding and smiling, suddenly we’re demons. – Toni Morrison

116419. I get angry about things, then go on and work. – Toni Morrison

116433. The point of jazz is, you do something and then you go on. – Van Morrison

116434. There is no black-and-white situation. It’s all part of life. Highs, lows, middles. – Van Morrison

116443. I don’t think nostalgia has to be negative. – Van Morrison

116444. I’m not a rock singer and I don’t want to be a rock singer. I’m not interested. It doesn’t seem to get across. – Van Morrison

116446. A famous person to themselves, they don’t get up in the morning and think, I’m famous. I’m not famous to me. Famous is a perception. – Van Morrison

116447. As a developing musician, skiffle became a platform for me to start playing music. – Van Morrison

116448. Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag. – Van Morrison

116458. I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn’t mean anything to me. – Van Morrison

116459. I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn’t there before that. – Van Morrison

116460. I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That’s what I apply to everything. – Van Morrison

116461. I went back to Belfast and started a club, the Maritime. No one had thought about doing a blues club, so I was the first. – Van Morrison

116462. I write songs. Then, I record them. And, later, maybe I perform them on stage. That’s what I do. That’s my job. Simple. – Van Morrison

116463. I’d love to live in Ireland but I’d like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don’t understand – I lived there before I was famous. – Van Morrison

116464. I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good. – Van Morrison

116469. You have to, at least from a distance, look as if you know what you’re doing, and I can manage that. – Steven Morrissey

116470. When I’m lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me. – Steven Morrissey

116471. The Smiths was an incredibly personal thing to me. It was like launching your own diary to music. – Steven Morrissey

116472. That was the problem with the ‘celibate’ word because they don’t consider for a moment that you’d rather not be, but you just are. I was never a sexual person. – Steven Morrissey

116473. My parents were worried about me, certainly when I became so deeply interested in music and people like the New York Dolls who, at the time, were very peculiar indeed. – Steven Morrissey

116478. Artists aren’t really people. And I’m actually 40 per cent papier mache. – Steven Morrissey

116480. Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you’re younger but now I just think ‘well everybody’s absolutely mad and I’m doing quite well’. – Steven Morrissey

116481. That’s why I do this music business thing, it’s communication with people without having the extreme inconvenience of actually phoning anybody up. – Steven Morrissey

116493. These are classic, perennial ideals we are dealing with. – Rob Morrow

116494. It’s a good time to be making movies, despite the cynicism people have about Hollywood. – Rob Morrow

116495. If it awakens in us as a whole how important that is – the theme of how conquest and ambition are meaningless without contribution – I think then as a society we’re in better shape. I hope people are inspired to be the best. – Rob Morrow

116496. I’d like to think that the notion of inspiration will transcend cultural things that are going on. There’s something classic about this movie that I’m hoping reaches kids. – Rob Morrow

116497. I see lots of cycles, for sure. There’s the whole post-Star Wars era, but I don’t think it’s the whole story. – Rob Morrow

116499. I learned a lot about morality from fiction, from movies. – Rob Morrow

116500. I consider myself a student of Hollywood. – Rob Morrow

116502. I’m into the idea of responsibility and edification and these things have found me and I have found them. I wanted to be in the movie and I made it known to Mike. – Rob Morrow

116503. I haven’t seen the show, but when it was finished I felt good about what we had done. I don’t know how it will stack up with Survival, but that’ll be up to the critics. – Vic Morrow

116504. Then you’d have found me pinned beneath a large metal pipe. – Vic Morrow

116505. Stories come from other shows at other studios where only 2,000 rounds were actually used and the money for the other 3,000 went right into the studio pockets. Corners were cut and that production suffered. Knock wood, that hasn’t happened to us. – Vic Morrow

116510. Each show comes with its own set of problems to work through. – Vic Morrow

116511. Because we are in a war situation, this can sometimes be dangerous work. But guys like A.D. Flowers and his technicians just take it in stride and get on with the job. In four years, we’ve never had a serious accident or injury working with all the explosions. – Vic Morrow

116512. I think we’ve shot scenes from every angle directors can think of to make it look like different villages. I’ve directed a couple shows on that set and believe me, it’s impossible not to duplicate some camera angles. – Vic Morrow

116513. Last summer a second unit production crew went to France and shot scenes for several of this season’s episodes. They shot costumed actors in and around real castles and landmarks, we couldn’t possibly have duplicated here in Hollywood. – Vic Morrow

116515. I’m acting for the pleasure of it. – David Morse

116516. You get to the middle of a take that’s going really well and the camera will run out of film. They have to stop you, apologize and then you’ve got to get things going all over again. – David Morse

116517. I’m not sure I always feel like I’m in the seat. Sometimes I’m only holding on by one hand and flying out behind the roller coaster. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t feel that way. – David Morse

116518. I’ve always tried to not let movie, television or theatre be all that my life is about. I’ve always tried to get involved in the community or my family now I have kids. – David Morse

116519. I’ve done scenes in films that I felt like the performance was better in certain takes, but they couldn’t use them because it didn’t match what the person was doing when they came around and the camera was on them. – David Morse

116520. I’ve tried to let the work I do speak. – David Morse

116522. No matter how many people tell you, Save your money, when you’ve got a series, you never do. Somehow it doesn’t seem important. Maybe it’s because you’ve been without money for so long as an actor. – David Morse

116523. With Sean Penn, he wants to be surprised. He doesn’t necessarily want what he’s written, although we’ll do what he’s written. He likes the danger of acting. – David Morse

116524. I was stuck as a Boomer type in a lot of people’s minds. – David Morse

116532. I don’t even know what TV star means. I know there’s a difference in how people approach you, compared to movies. They feel OK coming up to you and sitting with you in a restaurant, unfortunately. – David Morse

116533. I don’t like talking about myself. I’m not really interested in myself. One of the good things about being a supporting actor is that you get to talk about other people. – David Morse

116534. I have a DVD player and I have DVDs, and I have no time to watch any of them. – David Morse

116535. I try to do things I haven’t been able to before. – David Morse

116537. But mathematics is the sister, as well as the servant, of the arts and is touched by the same madness and genius. – Marston Morse

116538. Mathematics are the result of mysterious powers which no one understands, and which the unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part. Out of an infinity of designs a mathematician chooses one pattern for beauty’s sake and pulls it down to earth. – Marston Morse

116544. I have never been in a natural place and felt that it was a waste of time. I never have. And it’s a relief. If I’m walking around a desert or whatever, every second is worthwhile. – Viggo Mortensen

116545. I think that people who get to a certain position, and then try to ferociously defend it or build on it, it’s kind of a dead-end street. You see people becoming miserable that way. – Viggo Mortensen

116546. I’m just looking as always for something that’s stimulating and I hope to find a good story that’s a challenge, whether it’s big or small. Or that it finds me. I don’t have like a career plan. Maybe I should, but I don’t. – Viggo Mortensen

116547. If you’re trying to please everyone, then you’re not going to make anything that is honestly yours, I don’t think, in the long run. – Viggo Mortensen

116549. Like most people I can be lazy, so it’s nice to have a goal or deadline or reason to work out. I feel better when I get to exercise, or when I’m outdoors. I like to hike, swim and run, and I love to play soccer. – Viggo Mortensen

116550. There’s no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there’s no excuse for boredom, ever. – Viggo Mortensen

116551. I think we probably will end up in America because he would be giving up much more to come and live here. If you want to work in film, that’s really where you have to be. But I’m not sure that being an ex-pat is very good for one’s sense of self. – Emily Mortimer

116552. My dad had this philosophy that if you tell children they’re beautiful and wonderful then they believe it, and they will be. So I never thought I was unattractive. But I was never one of the girls at school who had lots of boyfriends. – Emily Mortimer

116553. The odd thing is if you asked me to do the accent now I would find it very difficult unless I was also playing that part, because I associate it so much with entering into the role and stepping into someone else’s shoes. – Emily Mortimer

116554. So far I haven’t really been prominent enough to get critical attention focused on me. So, of course, I fully expect bad reviews, but I will be wracked with misery as a result. – Emily Mortimer

116555. I was terribly shy when I was growing up, I really wasn’t confident with other people and I think I was always afraid of up or not being this very cool, amazing person that I wanted to be. – Emily Mortimer

116556. I had friends at school, but I was never part of a gang and I dreamed of that sense of belonging to a group. You know, where people would call me ‘Em’ and shout across the bar, ‘Em, what are you drinking?’ after the show. – Emily Mortimer

116557. 51st State was one that I loved doing because the character was so out there, and in a way I was sad to leave the character behind. I’m afraid I could never be that cool in real life! – Emily Mortimer

116558. I did my homework and didn’t go out much, and had a very highly developed kitsch fantasy life where I dreamed of being a dancing girl. – Emily Mortimer

116559. I never felt I was quite the ticket academically. I always felt I had to put in an enormous amount of effort not to be disappointing. So I worked really hard, but at the time it suited me, because I didn’t do very much else. – Emily Mortimer

116560. But I have to grow out of it, because it’s very boring, really. Even when you’re telling people how crap you are, you’re still banging on about yourself. – Emily Mortimer

116561. So what I do now is to pre-empt that by making the up into a virtue, and telling funny stories about how crap I am before people have a chance to notice it for themselves and think maybe I haven’t realised. – Emily Mortimer

116562. I suppose that writers should, in a way, feel flattered by the censorship laws. They show a primitive fear and dread at the fearful magic of print. – John Mortimer

116576. For a time during the 1980s the Royal Family were not just the most influential family in Britain but probably in Europe and Prince Charles specifically was very much like a defacto Cabinet member and what he said actually had impact on public policy. – Andrew Morton

116577. I would argue that television and particularly the BBC were instrumental in puffing up the Royal Family to a level where they were inflated out of all, all proportion to their relevance on the national scene. – Andrew Morton

116578. He’s a TV producer, a theatrical impresario, and he wants to be treated as Mr. Windsor but when the going gets rough he wants to be treated like a member of the Royal Family. – Andrew Morton

116579. Justice must not only be seen to be done but has to be seen to be believed. – J. B. Morton

116582. Get up from that piano. You hurtin’ its feelings. – Jelly Roll Morton

116583. I have been robbed of three million dollars all told. Everyone today is playing my stuff and I don’t even get credit. Kansas City style, Chicago style, New Orleans style hell, they’re all Jelly Roll style. – Jelly Roll Morton

116592. Yes, I would love to play one of the leads in one these movies and have all those challenges and deal with all those complications, but the business being what it is, there is a slot for me in these kinds of films, so I enjoy them, and I enjoy the people that I work with. – Joe Morton

116593. I think the thing is with a movie that has this much science fiction in it; you need characters who are more science fact, if you know what I mean, than they are human. – Joe Morton

116597. I think it talks about that there needs to be some proactive attack against drugs infiltrating our culture. – Joe Morton
