117402. Every generation revolts against its fathers and makes friends with its grandfathers. – Lewis Mumford

117415. Well, I just finished starring in a new episode of the new The Twilight Zone television series. – Bill Mumy

117417. It got to the point in the late 70s and early 80s that I was spending so much money buying golden age comics that I could only justify it if I got work in the media. – Bill Mumy
117418. I’m very lucky to work in so many different arenas of the entertainment industry and I do enjoy them all, but making music – original music – in the studio or live onstage is definitely my favorite thing to do. – Bill Mumy
117419. I’m narrating the television series Biography. I’m still involved in my music – I have a new album out. I have an animated project in development. I’m writing a lot of things and you never know if one of them is going to become a six or seven year project. – Bill Mumy
117420. I’m also performing regularly in Southern California with two bands. As a solo artist doing acoustic sets and a member of the Jenerators, my rock n roll band that has been around for a long time now. – Bill Mumy
117421. Personally, I don’t think the film and television industries are run as well as they used to be. Oh sure, we’ve got great digital effects now but… where are the visionaries? – Bill Mumy
117422. I really think the acoustics that Gibson’s been making for the last ten years or so are as good as any the company has ever produced and that’s saying a lot. – Bill Mumy
117423. I have great respect for directors who know what they’re doing. – Bill Mumy
117424. I have about 50 guitars around the house. I can’t take more than a few steps without finding one to pick up. – Bill Mumy
117425. I get bored doing one thing only. I’ve been very lucky to explore a lot of different artistic territory and I don’t see why I won’t continue on that path. – Bill Mumy
117426. From the age of four, I was a huge comic fan and still am. When Lost in Space came along it was like being in a huge comic so we jumped at the chance of being part of that project and it proved to be a good choice. – Bill Mumy
117427. Babylon 5 is probably the biggest, most ambitious television science fiction series ever made. It’s one big novel told over five years with 110 different stories told within it. – Bill Mumy
117428. And of course, I absolutely loved making Lost in Space as a kid. – Bill Mumy
117429. Anyway, in the mid 80’s I was spending a fortune buying old Golden Age books from the late 30’s and 40’s and I was making personal appearances at a lot of sci fi and comic book conventions all around the country here so that I could find books for my collection. – Bill Mumy
117430. I walk my dogs. I garden a little. I play a bit of tennis. Basically when I have spare time I’m making music. – Bill Mumy
117431. Well, I’ve been a big fan of comic books since I was a little kid. In fact, I used to write and draw my own comic books when I was on the old Lost in Space series. – Bill Mumy

117434. President Obama is not polarizing, but the media sure is. – Yousef Munayyer

117436. The conductor must breathe life into the score. It is you and you alone who must expose it to the understanding, reveal the hidden jewel to the sun at the most flattering angles. – Charles Munch

117440. One can easily tell that the creator of the paintings in the Sistine Chapel was above all a sculptor. – Edvard Munch
117441. Painting picture by picture, I followed the impressions my eye took in at heightened moments. I painted only memories, adding nothing, no details that I did not see. Hence the simplicity of the paintings, their emptiness. – Edvard Munch
117442. Sickness, insanity and death were the angels that surrounded my cradle and they have followed me throughout my life. – Edvard Munch
117443. Youth must go ahead and prosper. These young painters are all very talented people, but they all paint frescoes. – Edvard Munch

117446. The rich man who gives, steals twice over. First he steals the money and then the hearts of men. – Edvard Munch
117447. This kind of painting with its large frames is a bourgeois drawing-room art. It is an art dealer’s art-and that came in after the civil wars following the French Revolution. – Edvard Munch
117448. To die is as if one’s eyes had been put out and one cannot see anything any more. Perhaps it is like being shut in a cellar. One is abandoned by all. They have slammed the door and are gone. One does not see anything and notices only the damp smell of putrefaction. – Edvard Munch
117449. When I paint a person, his enemies always find the portrait a good likeness. – Edvard Munch
117450. Without anxiety and illness I should have been like a ship without a rudder. – Edvard Munch

117455. By painting colors and lines and forms seen in quickened mood I was seeking to make this mood vibrate as a phonograph does. This was the origin of the paintings in The Frieze of Life. – Edvard Munch
117456. Death is pitch-dark, but colors are light. To be a painter, one must work with rays of light. – Edvard Munch
117457. I should have considered it wrong to have finished the Frieze before the room for its accommodation and the funds for its completion were available. – Edvard Munch
117458. For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art. – Edvard Munch

117460. I build a kind of wall between myself and t he model so that I can paint in peace behind it. Otherwise, she might say something that confuses and distracts me. – Edvard Munch
117461. I find it difficult to imagine an afterlife, such as Christians, or at any rate many religious people, conceive it, believing that the conversations with relatives and friends interrupted here on earth will be continued in the hereafter. – Edvard Munch
117462. I have no fear of photography as long as it cannot be used in heaven and in hell. – Edvard Munch
117463. I painted the picture, and in the colors the rhythm of the music quivers. I painted the colors I saw. – Edvard Munch
117464. In common with Michelangelo and Rembrandt I am more interested in the line, its rise and fall, than in color. – Edvard Munch
117465. In my childhood I always felt that I was treated unjustly, without a mother, sick, and with the threat of punishment in Hell hanging over my head. – Edvard Munch
117466. It was always my intention that The Frieze should be housed in a room which would provide a suitable architectural frame for it. – Edvard Munch
117467. Disease, insanity, and death were the angels that attended my cradle, and since then have followed me throughout my life. – Edvard Munch
117468. I am not that concerned that innovation in some large scale sense will suddenly and abruptly shift from one part of the world to another. – Craig Mundie

117470. Nature’s far too subtle to repeat herself. – Paul Muni
117471. I’ve never tried to learn the art of acting. I have been in the business for years but I still can’t tell what acting is or how it’s done. – Paul Muni
117472. I’m about as Chinese as Herbert Hoover. – Paul Muni
117473. I don’t want to be a star. If you have to label me anything, I’m an actor – I guess. A journeyman actor. I think ‘star’ is what you call actors who can’t act. – Paul Muni
117474. A writer can write in an attic, or on top of a bus. Or with a sharp stick in some wet cement. To act, an actor has to have words. A stage. a camera turning. – Paul Muni
117475. Acting classes, I guess, are good and I would like to maybe sometime take one. But I would feel like I was learning someone else’s technique. I like mine. – Frankie Muniz
117476. Some kids are always getting into trouble or doing stuff, and I stay away from those types. I know I am no better than anyone else in this world. I’m just an actor, that’s nothing special. But I’m not into anything bad. Just blackjack. – Frankie Muniz
117477. Yeah, I like cars and basketball. But you know what I like more? Bananas. – Frankie Muniz
117478. To do so, we are creating a Fairness for Switzerland Committee that will not only disseminate some of the facts, but also protect a relationship that is important to all of us in North America. – Peter Munk

117480. For a Canadian, natural resources were a good fit. – Peter Munk
117481. I’m not exactly an Einstein, so I compensate by being more focused. – Peter Munk
117482. Maybe I’m less sensitive to these issues because I see that what people need first is economic security, and only when they have that can they afford to focus on human rights. – Peter Munk
117483. I want the reader to feel something is astonishing. Not the ‘what happens,’ but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do that best, for me. – Alice Munro
117484. The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they’re gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you’re going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home. – Alice Munro
117485. The complexity of things – the things within things – just seems to be endless. I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple. – Alice Munro
117486. That’s something I think is growing on me as I get older: happy endings. – Alice Munro
117487. Sometimes I get the start of a story from a memory, an anecdote, but that gets lost and is usually unrecognizable in the final story. – Alice Munro
117488. Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories – and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories. – Alice Munro
117489. In twenty years I’ve never had a day when I didn’t have to think about someone else’s needs. And this means the writing has to be fitted around it. – Alice Munro
117490. The stories are not autobiographical, but they’re personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I’ve learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal. – Alice Munro
117491. In my own work, I tend to cover a lot of time and to jump back and forward in time, and sometimes the way I do this is not very straightforward. – Alice Munro
117492. I can’t play bridge. I don’t play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn’t seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window. – Alice Munro
117493. He’s simply got the instinct for being unhappy highly developed. – Hector Hugh Munro
117494. It’s no use growing older if you only learn new ways of misbehaving yourself. – Hector Hugh Munro
117495. I always say beauty is only sin deep. – Hector Hugh Munro
117496. Hors d’oeuvres have always a pathetic interest for me; they remind me of one’s childhood that one goes through wondering what the next course is going to be like – and during the rest of the menu one wishes one had eaten more of the hors d’oeuvres. – Hector Hugh Munro
117497. No one can be an unbeliever nowadays. The Christian Apologists have left one nothing to disbelieve. – Hector Hugh Munro
117498. He spends his life explaining from his pulpit that the glory of Christianity consists in the fact that though it is not true it has been found necessary to invent it. – Hector Hugh Munro

117504. You needn’t tell me that a man who doesn’t love oysters and asparagus and good wines has got a soul, or a stomach either. He’s simply got the instinct for being unhappy highly developed. – Hector Hugh Munro
117505. Addresses are given to us to conceal our whereabouts. – Hector Hugh Munro
117506. It is now time to reverse the trend we have seen developing over the years, that of beauty at all costs and health will take care of itself. – Bill Munson

117508. The wild, cruel beast is not behind the bars of the cage. He is in front of it. – Axel Munthe
117509. A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself. He can live without hope, without friends, without books, even without music, as long as he can listen to his own thoughts. – Axel Munthe
117510. You are 27 or 28 right? It is very tough to live at that age. When nothing is sure. I have sympathy with you. – Haruki Murakami
117511. When I write about a 15-year old, I jump, I return to the days when I was that age. It’s like a time machine. I can remember everything. I can feel the wind. I can smell the air. Very actually. Very vividly. – Haruki Murakami
117512. It is hard to be an individual in Japan. – Haruki Murakami
117513. There’s no such thing as perfect writing, just like there’s no such thing as perfect despair. – Haruki Murakami
117514. In Japan they prefer the realistic style. They like answers and conclusions, but my stories have none. I want to leave them wide open to every possibility. I think my readers understand that openness. – Haruki Murakami
117515. Most young people were getting jobs in big companies, becoming company men. I wanted to be individual. – Haruki Murakami
117516. Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that’s how we’ve got to live. – Haruki Murakami
117517. I am 55 years old now. It takes three years to write one book. I don’t know how many books I will be able to write before I die. It is like a countdown. So with each book I am praying – please let me live until I am finished. – Haruki Murakami
117518. I didn’t want to be a writer, but I became one. And now I have many readers, in many countries. I think that’s a miracle. So I think I have to be humble regarding this ability. I’m proud of it and I enjoy it, and it is strange to say it this way, but I respect it. – Haruki Murakami
117519. I lost some of my friends because I got so famous, people who just assumed that I would be different now. I felt like everyone hated me. That is the most unhappy time of my life. – Haruki Murakami
117520. You can always make a film somehow. You can beg, borrow, steal the equipment, use credit cards, use your friends’ goodwill, wheedle your way into this or that situation. The real problem is, how do you get people to see it once it is made? – Walter Murch
117521. When I’m actually assembling a scene, I assemble it as a silent movie. Even if it’s a dialog scene, I lip read what people are saying. – Walter Murch
117522. Film editing is now something almost everyone can do at a simple level and enjoy it, but to take it to a higher level requires the same dedication and persistence that any art form does. – Walter Murch
117523. This applies to many film jobs, not just editing: half the job is doing the job, and the other half is finding ways to get along with people and tuning yourself in to the delicacy of the situation. – Walter Murch
117524. I think every age has a medium that talks to it more eloquently than the others. In the 19th century it was symphonic music and the novel. For various technical and artistic reasons, film became that eloquent medium for the 20th century. – Walter Murch
117525. The cry of equality pulls everyone down. – Iris Murdoch
117526. Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real. – Iris Murdoch

117533. The absolute yearning of one human body for another particular body and its indifference to substitutes is one of life’s major mysteries. – Iris Murdoch
117534. Moralistic is not moral. And as for truth – well, it’s like brown – it’s not in the spectrum. Truth is so generic. – Iris Murdoch
117535. The notion that one will not survive a particular catastrophe is, in general terms, a comfort since it is equivalent to abolishing the catastrophe. – Iris Murdoch
117536. The priesthood is a marriage. People often start by falling in love, and they go on for years without realizing that love must change into some other love which is so unlike it that it can hardly be recognized as love at all. – Iris Murdoch
117537. There is no substitute for the comfort supplied by the utterly taken-for-granted relationship. – Iris Murdoch
117538. We can only learn to love by loving. – Iris Murdoch

117548. Being good is just a matter of temperament in the end. – Iris Murdoch
117549. In philosophy if you aren’t moving at a snail’s pace you aren’t moving at all. – Iris Murdoch

117551. Every man needs two women: a quiet home-maker, and a thrilling nymph. – Iris Murdoch
117552. In almost every marriage there is a selfish and an unselfish partner. A pattern is set up and soon becomes inflexible, of one person always making the demands and one person always giving way. – Iris Murdoch

117562. Well there are those that you wield and those that you join. – Richard Murdoch
117563. I’m not a bad driver. And I never will be because I took lessons when I was quite a boy. I never had to pass a test because there wasn’t such a thing when I first started driving a motor car. So I didn’t have to pass one. – Richard Murdoch
117564. I am amazed that CNN can’t get its act together. – Rupert Murdoch
117565. You can’t build a strong corporation with a lot of committees and a board that has to be consulted every turn. You have to be able to make decisions on your own. – Rupert Murdoch

117586. Everyone is trying to do something that hasn’t been done and that’s a really good thing. You can only do so much with a story and some scripts don’t give you the opportunities and other scripts do give you the opportunities to do things that haven’t been done before. – Dennis Muren
117587. You know a lot of what worked on this was taken from Harry Potter 2, the little Doby character, we had a lot of our skin stuff worked out and that helped a lot. We have a lot of exchange happening. – Dennis Muren
117588. Yes, if I had it my way I would do all the shots myself – I used to do that when I was just a cameraman, an operator – but there’s no way; you can’t do that anymore. – Dennis Muren
117589. What you want to do is, you want to get away from people being afraid to show their work, which is the first thing, because they don’t want to be shot down. – Dennis Muren
117590. To me the biggest breakthrough was when we did Terminator 2 that just opened the door for Jurassic and all of the others and that was as big as when we did motion control on Star Wars. But I don’t see another big thing coming. – Dennis Muren
117591. Steven and I have worked together a lot and I’m far ahead of the curve than most people in knowing what he wants, but he knows far more than I know about what’s important for the story. So, most of the changes he will make will involve story changes. – Dennis Muren
117592. So much of it is the design of the shot or the motion of the character; it’s the work you do so that it has the same things that are in the movie. In just a few frames it’s got to communicate something clearly and dramatically. – Dennis Muren
117593. Other times you can get showy for three minutes, and that’s OK with certain films. But that isn’t right with an Ang Lee movie, you have to fit right in. You have to understand Ang, respect him and be part of the team and not be in charge of it – he is in charge of it. – Dennis Muren
117594. Just going along with this, what I did, or what I do is I imagine not being myself seeing it, but imagine somebody else who’s seeing it for the first time. – Dennis Muren
117595. It’s harder for me to work on a Forrest Gump kind of movie, where everything is invisible. – Dennis Muren
117596. But you don’t hire Ang Lee to do a typical children’s movie. But it’s such an interesting combination, whoever thought of getting Ang together with a comic book, that was just great. – Dennis Muren
117597. And I also trust that there’s more than one way to do something. – Dennis Muren
117598. And it’s very hard to do this stuff too because there are so many effects movies being done, so many companies busy doing this work and the public just wants to see it. Good work is being done all over the world. – Dennis Muren
117599. I just focus on one show, when this is over then I’ll start looking at what is coming up. – Dennis Muren
117600. Because you’re telling a story, and I’m sure people fifty years ago would tell the same story differently if they were telling it to you today. Because the time is different. The film is the work of today’s audience. – Dennis Muren
117601. I’m always reaching for something we really haven’t done, and War of the Worlds has a lot of this sort of documentary look to it and first-person camera view that is a new thing for me. I’ve done some stuff like that before, but nothing like the extent of this and digitally. – Dennis Muren
117602. I have never had trouble with any actor being able to visualise things. They are amazing. As long as you have your monster head on a long stick, so you can hold it up there and you can wave it around and let them see it and explain it to them, they are just great. – Dennis Muren
117603. I see the tool set being the same and maybe doing virtual movies and that’s fine for some stories but not for others. And maybe make all CG movies but they are already doing it. – Dennis Muren
117604. I think you’ve got to talk to the director, see the director’s films and recognise that it’s important that the work fits right in and see if as part of the movie. – Dennis Muren
117605. I took business classes as a back up but I made movies all the time. I would get my classes done in two days and then spend the rest of the time making my movies. – Dennis Muren
117606. And then you start getting into the technical side of it and the aesthetic side and with those areas you can come up with new ways to visualise things, new ways to render and use the computer to make things look different and new and stuff like that. – Dennis Muren
117607. Alaska has great potential for new oil and gas development. – Frank Murkowski
117608. I firmly believe that we can have a healthy environment and a sustainable timber industry. – Frank Murkowski
117609. One of Alaska’s strengths is our pioneer role in environmentally sensitive development. – Frank Murkowski
117610. Pushing production out of America to nations without our environmental standards increases global environmental risks. – Frank Murkowski
117611. There are many outsiders that actively try to halt every natural resource development project in Alaska. Many of these same people have never even been to Alaska, yet they claim to know what’s best for us. – Lisa Murkowski
117612. We need to face it, as a nation we have a reliance on petroleum. – Lisa Murkowski
117613. Freedom comes from strength and self-reliance. – Lisa Murkowski
117614. I have never once asked Alaskans to like how I got this job. – Lisa Murkowski

117618. Wit is the most rascally, contemptible, beggarly thing on the face of the earth. – Arthur Murphy
117619. Cheerfulness, sir, is the principle ingredient in the composition of health. – Arthur Murphy
117620. I Knew why I felt at home. The spirit of freedom was hovering over that play yard as it did all over France at that time. A country was free again. – Audie Murphy
117621. They were singing in French, but the melody was freedom and any American could understand that. – Audie Murphy
117622. I’m glad that it didn’t take as long to get Shepard off the ground as it’s taken this series. I’d begun to think the Congo would be ahead of us in the space race before Whispering Smith ever got on the air. – Audie Murphy
117623. And freedom is what America means to the world. – Audie Murphy
117624. Lead from the front. – Audie Murphy
117625. I’m an actor. It’s my job. – Brittany Murphy
117626. Sticking to your values, listening to your instincts, making your own choices is so important. – Brittany Murphy
117627. The older I get, the more I embrace my own idiosyncrasies. – Brittany Murphy
117628. You actually can make it, no matter what. I truly am a firm believer in that. Eminem’s living proof. – Brittany Murphy
117629. If I could be a third of the woman that my mom is and have a third of the strength that she has, then I will have done good by this life. – Brittany Murphy
117630. I’ve always seen myself as one of those ‘show people.’ My earliest memories are wanting and needing to entertain people, like a gypsy traveler who goes from place to place, city to city, performing for audiences and reaching people. – Brittany Murphy
117631. I think they should take everyone who works for The National Enquirer and the Star, and everyone who works for Us Weekly, and put them all to work looking for terrorists. I think they would find the terrorists. All of them. It would be genius! – Brittany Murphy
117632. I find this life so interesting. – Brittany Murphy
117633. I don’t think Hollywood per se is supposed to be taken seriously, otherwise, dear Lord, that would be frightening. – Brittany Murphy
117634. I don’t even take myself seriously, so how could I possibly take Hollywood seriously? – Brittany Murphy
117635. I consider myself a character actor. – Brittany Murphy
117636. I can play any instrument if you give me 20 minutes. – Brittany Murphy
117637. I’d love to be a man for a day, just to see what it’s like. – Brittany Murphy
117638. Tired is not a word in my vocabulary. – Brittany Murphy
117639. There’s always competition out there. That’s what makes life exciting. – Carolyn Murphy
117640. It’s obvious that if you’re going to play a character you need to amass information about that person and about their environment or their era that they’re in and use as little or as much as necessary. – Cillian Murphy
117641. My wife can see always how a part affects me personally because she has to live with it. – Cillian Murphy
117642. The best roles you have to fight for. You have to really want to do it and you have to go after it. – Cillian Murphy
117643. Then I wanted the character to be feminine as opposed to effeminate. Because it’s easy to be camp or queen. Anyone can do that. What’s difficult is to play feminine. – Cillian Murphy
117644. What we do as actors is we go through phases where you superficially learn all this information. – Cillian Murphy
117645. I enjoy all aspects of it, I don’t have a preference for any medium. I think each of them has its attractions and I would hope they each inform the other in some way. – Cillian Murphy
117646. There’s a lot of comedy in Intermission but it’s got this depth. It’s not comedy for comedy’s sake – it’s informed by something else. I like stuff like that. – Cillian Murphy
117647. I’d love to work in America, some of my favourite films come from America. – Cillian Murphy
117648. I don’t think they’d ever make a movie about Chuck Baker but I’d love to play Chuck Baker. – Cillian Murphy
117649. I don’t have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there. – Cillian Murphy
117650. Having started out in theatre, I feel an impulse to do it as much as I can. – Cillian Murphy
117651. At the moment I’m doing this space movie, so I’m obsessed with physics and space travel. I know three months down the line it’s gone. Then I’ll be able to superficially say stuff about space. – Cillian Murphy
117652. It was very much about performances, the whole ensemble thing was just great – everybody working together. Sometimes it didn’t feel like a film set. It wasn’t technically driven, it was very, very enjoyable. – Cillian Murphy
117653. Eddie Haas talked a lot about not hitting the ball in the air. – Dale Murphy
117654. Gee I don’t know, I just want to get home. – Dale Murphy
117655. Joe Torre would tell you to make sure you can hit the ball on the outside part of the plate. – Dale Murphy
117656. Tommie Aaron taught me how to have a good attitude, to be easy going and not get uptight. – Dale Murphy
117657. My belief is the majority of people in politics are just interested in pursuing this career in politics, and doing what’s necessary to get themselves re-elected. And if that happens to coincide with the public good, great. But if it doesn’t, the public good loses out. – Dick Murphy
117658. You have the biggest impact on controlling, on affecting local lives as mayor. It’s so much more important than being a state legislator. – Dick Murphy
117659. Your first obligation, I suppose, is to your God. Your second is to your family. And your third is to your community. And you ought to try to fulfill all of those in your life. – Dick Murphy
117660. I’m convinced that unless you have some public financing of elections, you are never going to remove the power of wealthy interests over elected officials. – Dick Murphy
117661. At least I make decisions based on what I think is right, not who my friends might be. – Dick Murphy
117662. I don’t think that politics attracts the best and the brightest of America. It doesn’t attract the most sincere people. – Dick Murphy
117663. I’m not going to rule out running for a second term. But, I think you have to be psychologically prepared to walk away from the job after four years. It’s the only way that you cannot be influenced by those special interests. – Dick Murphy
117664. I’ve made 30 movies and for the most part my movies work. In a business where success is an exception and not the rule, I’ve mostly been successful. – Eddie Murphy
117665. You know, making a movie is a collaborative effort and sometimes all the ingredients don’t work out. I know that every now and again I am going to make a movie that won’t work. – Eddie Murphy
117666. The thing about kids is that they express emotion. They don’t hold back. If they want to cry, they cry, and if they are in a good mood, they’re in a good mood. – Eddie Murphy
117667. The economy in Ireland has been rampaging ahead for the last 15 years. Barring an international, political or natural catastrophe, things can only get better for the Irish. – Eddie Murphy
117668. In the original script, my character was a basketball player rather than a boxer. I didn’t think I could pull that off. I’m a little short to be a basketball player! – Eddie Murphy
117669. If I don’t die in a plane crash or something, this country has a rare opportunity to watch a great talent grow. – Eddie Murphy
117670. I’ve always had confidence. It came because I have lots of initiative. I wanted to make something of myself. – Eddie Murphy
117671. I’m relaxed about my career. I’ve been making movies for over 20 years, so I’ve earned at least the right to relax. – Eddie Murphy
117672. I’m 42 and the age of a guy who has kids, so I guess I’m playing right where I’m supposed to be. I’m comfortable with that, but in the same breath I’d do something edgy. If someone came to me and offered me an edgy and funny story, then I’d do it. – Eddie Murphy
117673. I’d like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way Chaplin did. I’ll do that before I’m thirty. – Eddie Murphy
117674. I don’t think more concentration is required for Robert De Niro to do what he does as for Jim Carrey to do what he does. – Eddie Murphy
117675. In a movie like this, the relationship between the two guys is crucial. It sinks or swims on how these two guys are together. I think we did a good job. – Eddie Murphy
117676. It is claimed, but with what truth we cannot say, that there is a well-defined propaganda among the aliens of colour to bring about the degeneration of the white race. – Emily Murphy
117677. This is courtship all the world over – the man all tongue; the woman all ears. – Emily Murphy
117678. The economy in the Valley will need to grow if students want to come back and work with their specialized degrees. We need to develop more to create more opportunities. – Frank Murphy
117679. The number one reason I write is to come to schools and see my readers. I would do it for free. – Frank Murphy
117680. We would be false to our trust if we allowed the time it takes to give effect to constitutional rights to be used as the very reason for taking away those rights. – Frank Murphy
117681. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion all have a double aspect – freedom of thought and freedom of action. – Frank Murphy
117682. It can feel like an invasion of privacy, involving an employer in a personal matter. – Frank Murphy
117683. I believe that nothing enjoys a higher estate in our society than the right given by the First and Fourteenth Amendments freely to practice and proclaim one’s religious convictions. – Frank Murphy
117684. There was a time when the contractual relationship between the employer and the employee was supposed to be none of the public’s business. That time has passed. – Frank Murphy
117685. Religious freedom is too sacred a right to be restricted or prohibited in any degree without convincing proof that a legitimate interest of the state is in grave danger. – Frank Murphy
117686. How can you practice dancing in an airplane? There’s a law against it. – George Murphy
117687. I’d like to make a movie pretty soon, so I could get a rest. – George Murphy
117688. I actually build my dreams around the dancers I’ve got in my company. – Graeme Murphy
117689. I wanted to give people – which is fairly bizarre considering my whole life is contemporary dance really – I wanted to give people a really fulfilling sense that they had seen a white classical ballet – in a very pure form. – Graeme Murphy
117690. I think the Olympics could help us reach more people. – Graeme Murphy
117691. I think it requires a bit of honesty, Swan Lake. – Graeme Murphy
117692. I mean, I think in the early days we were pretty… pretty British in our entertainment leads. – Graeme Murphy
117693. I look at the dancers and I get the inspiration for the work from them. – Graeme Murphy
117694. I always figure I have this tree and there’s always some green fruit that’s not ready to pick or blossoms that are ready to flower; there are always some ready to drop off too. – Graeme Murphy
117695. For me it was really important to get the essence out of the music for the story and not, sort of, press the music into the service of the whimsical telling of it. – Graeme Murphy
117696. Dance is so joyous. – Graeme Murphy
117697. But I also wanted to give them an intelligent emotional journey, without having to suspend reality – to be able to look at those characters and see reasons for the relationships and why what happens happens. – Graeme Murphy
117698. And dance is wonderful because dance is so immediate. – Graeme Murphy
117699. And currently, there are four to five new works in the pipeline for upcoming celebrations such as the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Australian Federation, my 50th Birthday, and Sydney Dance Company’s 25th Anniversary. – Graeme Murphy
117700. I don’t think people we’ll miss the fact that SDC is way up there and that our profile is high. – Graeme Murphy
117701. It’s not a company of exponents of my style. – Graeme Murphy
117702. Sydney is a very good market for us – we have a very strong following here. – Graeme Murphy
117703. Yes, Carl Vine stuck around. He’s now number one composer for choreography. – Graeme Murphy
117704. We moved, and there was a golden era in the ’40s when we were so conscious of who we were as Australians. – Graeme Murphy
117705. We can’t afford big symphonies but we commission works that sound rich and symphonic because of the nature of the instrumentation and the people we work with. – Graeme Murphy
117706. I’m thrilled at the moment because our audiences, you know, they… the demographic is 50% male. – Graeme Murphy
117707. There’s a line of dancers waiting to get into Sydney Dance Company. – Graeme Murphy
117708. SDC has a great reputation for putting live music on stage. – Graeme Murphy
117709. Normally our season is seven weeks in the Drama Theatre and four weeks in the Opera Theater. – Graeme Murphy
117710. No one was creating and I always wanted to be created on. – Graeme Murphy
117711. It’s the emotional trigger points that are important to me because I know if I could believe in the characters and try and imagine how they felt then I’d be able to do something quite honest. – Graeme Murphy
117712. If the year 2000 can help us move into the future, that’s fine, but I am afraid that people see it as a full stop and that one can take a big breath afterwards – you can’t. – Graeme Murphy
117713. I’m interested in people who can take the movement somewhere. – Graeme Murphy
117714. I’m in the position to pick the cream of the crop. – Graeme Murphy
117715. Mostly, I’m in the very enviable position that no one dictates what I do. – Graeme Murphy
117716. We also tour nationally and internationally. – Graeme Murphy
117717. No man with a touch of heart disease should ever back his mounts. – Isaac Murphy
117718. Chess, like mathematics and music, is a nursery for child prodigies. – Jamie Murphy
117719. Where there is a will there is a way. And this must be the way not of compulsion but of cooperation… No government and no plan can succeed without it. – Lionel K. Murphy
117720. There are no insuperable constitutional difficulties. – Lionel K. Murphy
117721. The people of Australia would be staggered to learn that Australia has no national development plan. – Lionel K. Murphy
117722. The Menzies Government, by its participation in the plans for the development of other nations, can see the virtue of planning for them but apparently cannot see the virtue of a plan for Australia. – Lionel K. Murphy
117723. The Australian people want to help build this country into a great nation. This budget… has not realized the capacity of the Australian people. It has underestimated them. It has let us down. – Lionel K. Murphy
117724. It is a great privilege for any man to become a member of the Senate. – Lionel K. Murphy
117725. We must have as clear a picture as we can of the Australia that we want to achieve at the end of that time. – Lionel K. Murphy
117726. We are deeply conscious of the fact that our north and west must be developed. – Lionel K. Murphy
117727. Some men are so macho they’ll get you pregnant just to kill a rabbit. – Maureen Murphy
117728. The reason there are so few female politicians is that it is too much trouble to put makeup on two faces. – Maureen Murphy
117729. The face of terrorism in Iraq is dead. Abu Musab al Zarqawi brutalized, tortured, and killed thousands of innocent people, forcing Iraqis to live in fear. The Iraqi people finally had enough, and gave up his whereabouts to the Iraqi security forces. – Tim Murphy
117730. More than 1.1 million taxpayers in Pennsylvania will enjoy a lower tax rate, more than 1.4 million married couples will benefit from the reduction in the marriage penalty, and more than 1.1 million parents will have the advantage of an increased child tax credit. – Tim Murphy

117736. Tens of billions of dollars could be saved in Medicare and Medicaid alone by eliminate fraud and improving patient care. Not only would this save money, but it will save lives. – Tim Murphy
117737. Over the last two decades, America has increased its demand for oil by nearly 30 percent, yet we have not expanded our ability to produce domestic sources of fuel. – Tim Murphy
117738. Moreover, health center services save money and lives by treating diseases before they become chronic conditions, require hospital care or require a trip to the emergency room. – Tim Murphy
117739. The dedication of the United States Air Force, Special Forces, and others involved in the mission to tracking down terrorists can not be matched. We express our gratitude to these men and women who defend the freedom America represents. – Tim Murphy
117740. My great-grandfather was a coal miner, who worked in Pennsylvania mines when carts were pulled by mules and mines were lit by candles. Mining was very dangerous work then. – Tim Murphy
117741. Instead of raising taxes as some would insist, we need to reduce waste and inefficiency in government. – Tim Murphy
117742. Making the tax cuts permanent will continue to grow the economy, create jobs, and put more money in the pockets of the hard-working families of Pennsylvania. – Tim Murphy

117744. As we continue to fight the war on terror, we express our gratitude to our troops whose valor over the last three years provided freedom to the Iraqis, while protecting our liberty here at home. – Tim Murphy
117745. However, many skilled medical volunteers are turned away because community health centers cannot afford to cover their additional medical liability insurance. – Tim Murphy
117746. Al Zarqawi had a long history of terrorism. He was responsible for several bombings and beheadings in Iraq, including Pennsylvania native Nicholas Berg. – Tim Murphy
117747. We must safely secure our border by investing in more law enforcement and technology, and receiving cooperation from the Mexican government. – Timothy Murphy
117748. Rather than improving the wealth of their own nation, the Mexican government encourages its poor to come to the U.S. and send money home. – Timothy Murphy
117749. The best doctors and the best hospitals in America, if they cannot get the patient information they need when they need it, it can lead to morbid consequences: Higher mortality. – Timothy Murphy
117750. The current medical records system is this: Room after room after room in a hospital filled with paper files. – Timothy Murphy
117751. The technology used to detect if vehicles are carrying radioactive material is so sensitive it can tell if a person recently received radiation as part of a medical procedure. – Timothy Murphy
117752. Our enemy is motivated by hatred and will not stop planning more plots against until they are ultimately defeated. Today was an important and necessary victory in the war, but there is a long road ahead. We must remain committed if we are to succeed and protect our liberty. – Timothy Murphy
117753. We must continue to ensure law enforcement has the necessary tools to combat terrorism here at home. We must also work with our allies and provide our military with the weapons and protective gear they need to defeat terrorism abroad. – Timothy Murphy
117754. Providing patients and consumers with solid information on the cost and quality of their healthcare options can literally make the difference between life or death; and play a decisive role in whether a family or employer can afford healthcare. – Timothy Murphy
117755. What I do say is, yes, children may be resilient and they have been able to deal with all sorts of difficulties they have faced, but the bottom line is this: I believe very strongly children need a mother and a father in the home. – Timothy Murphy
117756. While the recent addition of the National Guard providing a support role manning computers and cameras has allowed more Border Patrol agents to work the field, more agents are still needed. – Timothy Murphy
117757. There needs to be more pressure on the Mexican government to stop the drugs and illegal immigrants on their side of the border instead of exporting them to the U.S. – Timothy Murphy

117760. A system of cameras and censors are used along the border and interior to help detect the movement of illegal immigrants crossing through the dense brush. – Timothy Murphy
117761. Our border patrol does a great job under these very dangerous conditions. They use very sophisticated equipment, including gamma rays, to detect drugs and illegal immigrants as they enter the U.S. – Timothy Murphy
117762. As a person who has spent my career as a child psychologist and have dealt with many children who have struggled with many problems in families, I have seen families ripped apart by so many things that sometimes law has tried to deal with. – Timothy Murphy
117763. Drug smugglers often use juveniles to carry their shipments into the U.S. because they know the juveniles will not be prosecuted if caught. – Timothy Murphy

117768. Illegal immigration is crisis for our country. It is an open door for drugs, criminals, and potential terrorists to enter our country. It is straining our economy, adding costs to our judicial, healthcare, and education systems. – Timothy Murphy
117769. Instead, I think over the years we have cut the strength of marriage and relationships by the law and weakened the institution. We have tried to deal with relationships with no-fault divorce, with child custody, with so many other avenues; and it has not helped. – Timothy Murphy
117770. The families of Aboriginals who have died in custody in NSW will suffer again because of these white lies. – Arthur Murray
117771. We have copped a lot of ignorant abuse in the past, but it makes you wonder when a former state coroner openly attacks Aboriginal families who have been through hell. – Arthur Murray
117772. Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one. – Bill Murray
117773. Yeah, I think that’s sort of the American way. And it’s also the Polish way, it turns out. – Bill Murray
117774. The studios don’t seem to foster good writing. They’re not so interested in that, but they’re more interested in what worked most recently. They’re definitely very serious about making money, and that’s not a wrong thing, but you don’t have to make money the same way all the time. – Bill Murray
117775. People only talk about what a joyous experience it is, but there is terror: Your life, as you know it, is over. It’s over the day that child is born. It’s over, and something completely new starts. – Bill Murray
117776. In Japan, you have no idea what they are saying, and they can’t help you either. Nothing makes any sense. They’re very polite, but you feel like a joke is being played on you the entire time you’re there. – Bill Murray
117777. I’m a nut, but not just a nut. – Bill Murray
117778. I went to Second City, where you learned to make the other actor look good so you looked good and National Lampoon, where you had to create everything out of nothing, and SNL, where you couldn’t make any mistakes, and you learned what collaboration was. – Bill Murray
117779. I think all phases of one’s career are serious if you take it seriously no matter if you are doing high profile dramatic pieces or not. – Bill Murray
117780. I don’t want to be that guy mumbling into his drink at a bar. – Bill Murray
117781. I don’t know how this guy knew how much money I was making. I didn’t know how much money I was making. – Bill Murray
117782. All of us kids ended up ‘doing Mom.’ There are four of us who’ve tried show business. Five if you insist on counting my sister the nun, who does liturgical dance. – Bill Murray
117783. Here’s the thing, you just have to drive a lot faster, and if you don’t get there, we’re both fired. – Bill Murray
117784. I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they’re reading the damn screen. That’s more reading than people used to do. – Bill Murray
117785. I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: ‘try being rich first’. See if that doesn’t cover most of it. There’s not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job. – Bill Murray
117786. I just want to be healthy and happy. I don’t want to hurt anybody or make them mad. If that’s a philosophy then that’s my philosophy. – Chad Michael Murray
117787. When you realize you’re alive, you can live life! – Chad Michael Murray
117788. It makes you feel at home when you can talk to somebody and really talk about anything. – Eddie Murray
117789. You win as a team, you lose as a team, you also do so many things together. – Eddie Murray
117790. When Ted Williams was here, inducted into the Hall of Fame 37 years ago, he said he must have earned it, because he didn’t win it because of his friendship with the writers. I guess in that way, I’m proud to be in this company that way. – Eddie Murray
117791. When I signed a contract, I was here to play 162 games. – Eddie Murray
117792. No one was more important than my mom and dad. I know they are watching from a place up in heaven here today to make sure all their kids are doing good. – Eddie Murray
117793. I’m proud to be here as a man that has played first base more than anybody in the game of baseball. – Eddie Murray
117794. I learned life from some good teachers. – Eddie Murray
117795. For me, baseball is about, again, the team winning. – Eddie Murray
117796. Baseball is a team game. – Eddie Murray
117797. And, you know, you try and preach to them there’s more to this game than just walking up to home plate, swinging the bat, fielding a ground ball. There’s some dedication in it, some love you’ve got to put into this work. – Eddie Murray
117798. And like I said, I appreciate my older brothers because they would not allow me to win. They made me learn to play with them, which I think is the most important thing that I learned. – Eddie Murray
117799. And I tell you that’s one of the reasons why I didn’t have the friendships with the media, maybe like I could have. But I had to do what I had to do to make myself successful. – Eddie Murray
117800. I’m now the hitting the instructor with the Cleveland Indians. – Eddie Murray
117801. Today I join the greatest players that played the game. It is a great feeling being here. – Eddie Murray
117802. With ‘Carousel’ I had an idea and it all came out quickly. – George Murray
117803. I was writing notes, but not composing poems. The Hunter began to develop out of this fragmented process. – George Murray
117804. I’m not interested in being easy anymore. Readable, yes. Easy, no. – George Murray
117805. I’ve often entertained paranoid suspicions about my fridge and what it’s been doing to my poetry when I’m not looking, but I never even considered that my fan was thinking about me. – George Murray
117806. In fact, in some ways, I actually feel much more confident about the quality of Carousel than I do about The Cottage Builder’s Letter: probably because of its cohesive nature. – George Murray
117807. In my opinion, Al Moritz may be the best poet of his generation in Canada. – George Murray
117808. My self-editing process is intense. – George Murray
117809. The poetry community here has been extraordinarily welcoming. – George Murray
117810. The whole competition thing disturbs me. Not that I wasn’t a part of it when I first started. – George Murray
117811. Well, we all start thinking we’re going to be Romantic rock stars, but then reality hits and you realize no one reads you but other poets. – George Murray
117812. I wanted to rock back and forth between myth and distant futures, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It felt a bit like prophecy and a bit like storytelling. – George Murray
117813. It’s a bit of a crapshoot out there with young writers right now anyway. – George Murray
117814. Then I discovered I loved writing poetry more than fiction. – George Murray
117815. I am still interested in the long or serial poem, but have written a few smaller things. I may start sending to journals again in a year or so… that’s about it. – George Murray
117816. Even the people who have had success and made money writing these books of fiction seem to feel the need to pretend it’s no big deal, or part of a natural progression from poetry to fiction, but often it’s really just about the money, the perceived prestige. – George Murray
117817. I think, for me, humour needs to be used like a strong spice – sparingly. – George Murray
117818. I am certainly suffering from a modicum of performance anxiety. – George Murray
117819. I do try to let what is obviously unintended yet naturally good stay in. – George Murray
117820. New York was breaking my concentration and disintegrating my thoughts. – George Murray
117821. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with someone having to read a poem twice. Or even a book. – George Murray
117822. I feel as though I’ve fooled the world into thinking I’m an adult and now they’re letting me procreate. – George Murray
117823. I guess there is also an element of deliberate change involved. Each of my books has been, at least from my point of view, radically different from the last. – George Murray
117824. I no longer feel pressure to produce fiction. – George Murray
117825. Humour is a fine line to walk in poetry, as in fiction. I just think it’s harder to write. It’s harder to keep the respect of the reader too. – George Murray
117826. I still write the occasional short story, and poked at a novel once, but it’s just not what I want to do. – George Murray
117827. I suppress the vast majority of what I write. – George Murray
117828. I think the main influence has been living in New York City. Aside from all the crap around 9/11, I find it very demanding to think amid all the noise and visual pollution. – George Murray
117829. A sequence works in a way a collection never can. – George Murray
117830. Sometimes Aristotle analyses his terms, but very often he takes them for granted; and in the latter case, I think, he is sometimes deceived by them. – Gilbert Murray
117831. The fact is that much misunderstanding is often caused by our modern attempts to limit too strictly the meaning of a Greek word. – Gilbert Murray
117832. The fashions of the ages vary in this direction and that, but they vary for the most part from a central road which was struck out by the imagination of Greece. – Gilbert Murray
117833. The higher Greek poetry did not make up fictitious plots; its business was to express the heroic saga, the myths. – Gilbert Murray
117834. The life and liberty and property and happiness of the common man throughout the world are at the absolute mercy of a few persons whom he has never seen, involved in complicated quarrels that he has never heard of. – Gilbert Murray
117835. Where words can be translated into equivalent words, the style of an original can be closely followed; but no translation which aims at being written in normal English can reproduce the style of Aristotle. – Gilbert Murray
117836. It is doubtless one of Aristotle’s great services that he conceived so clearly the truth that literature is a thing that grows and has a history. – Gilbert Murray
117837. Be careful in dealing with a man who cares nothing for comfort or promotion, but is simply determined to do what he believes to be right. He is a dangerous uncomfortable enemy, because his body, which you can always conquer, gives you little purchase upon his soul. – Gilbert Murray
117838. Few of the great works of ancient Greek literature are easy reading. – Gilbert Murray
117839. Greek was very much a live language, and a language still unconscious of grammar, not, like ours, dominated by definitions and trained upon dictionaries. – Gilbert Murray
117840. Show me a man who is a good loser and I’ll show you a man who is playing golf with his boss. – James Patrick Murray
117841. Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire’s eye or on the ball. – James Patrick Murray
117842. Sometimes a serendipitous reaction occurs when a network asks you if you have any ideas for a series, at a time when your creative flow is working in that direction. – Joe Murray
117843. Somebody said us artists have trouble with success because art is derived from struggle. I disagree with that, because truely doing your art is success, whether you make money from it or not. – Joe Murray
117844. Since this was the first and only series I had ever produced, I was unaware of what the “Normal” environment was for a studio. I tried to run it as I did in my SF studio. – Joe Murray
117845. Marriage should be a duet – when one sings, the other claps. – Joe Murray
117846. I think cheese smells funny, but I feel bananas “are” funny. I’m assuming Swamp told the whole story of the executives seriously asking us to replace the banana with cheese because they thought it was funnier. – Joe Murray
117847. Sometimes things just click. The one contribution I tried to do, was shield the staff from the corporate politics that occur on any show. But yes, we all got along very well. – Joe Murray
117848. Anyone who knows me, knows I don’t walk away from a commitment, but I had a commitment to myself. Yes, there were times Nickelodeon made it more difficult than it needed to be, but there were also times they made it easier. – Joe Murray
117849. I was shocked. They were going to give me money to make this really odd show? Well, I still had little thought of it going to series, but I thought it was great that my next short film was going to be paid for. – Joe Murray
117850. I am constantly getting letters from inconsistancies in the back stories of these characters. – Joe Murray
117851. We’re the real estate industry – not the manufacturers. – Joe Murray
117852. When an executive walked on our floor, it was at their own risk. As far as what others thought of working for me, I know I was very tough at times, and would storm down the hall after watching some bad animation from Korea. But overall, I feel we had a good time. – Joe Murray
117853. When I speak to students and they ask how much money you can make in art, as if that is a reason to persue it, I tell them to do something else. – Joe Murray
117854. I do not feel any artist can produce great art without putting great personality into it. It is always a piece of you that goes on the screen or the canvass. – Joe Murray
117855. The friend that I based Heffer on was adopted, and it all played into his total personality. – Joe Murray
117856. I’d like to see an arrested growth of development. You can’t stop it, but it’s important we do something about the developers having the upper hand. – John Murray
117857. Development in this county is always going to be an issue. Until development and zoning are handled on a regional basis, rather than each municipality left to its own devices, we will suffer from developers having the upper hand in suits and in front of zoning boards. – John Murray
117858. Give the people not hell, but hope and courage. – John Murray
117859. It’s nice to have a lot of people in the field. Independent, third party, Libertarian, Reform and other party candidates can do what they want to do. I welcome them to the race. – John Murray
117860. So I will stand more steadfastly for the things I stand up for, like people who work for a living. I’d like to be able to stand that way when I go to Congress. – John Murray
117861. Taking Big Bird away from our five year olds, lunch money away from our ten year olds, job training programs away from our fifteen year olds, and college loans away from our twenty year olds is a disgrace. – John Murray
117862. They see themselves as athletes and only athletes. – John Murray
117863. Education, when delivered properly, can benefit a lot of people and make productive citizens out of those otherwise given no hope. – John Murray
117864. All elections revolve around and are often resolved by who raises the most money. That’s unfair. I’d like to see that process changed, but it seems once you win and get to Congress, that doesn’t happen. – John Murray
117865. The pain of retirement means loss. – John Murray
117866. Having said that, I enjoyed every minute of my time and I got a degree of job satisfaction which I am sure was far greater than the majority of my colleagues. – Len G. Murray
117867. The option of solicitor advocacy came on the scene a bit too late for me. – Len G. Murray
117868. One cannot imagine Scots music and song without the contribution of Burns. – Len G. Murray
117869. If I was starting off now, I would probably have taken one or two different turnings along the way. – Len G. Murray
117870. I think that practising the law, particularly litigation, and particularly in Glasgow, has always been difficult enough without adding to it by having problems with professional colleagues or former colleagues. – Len G. Murray
117871. For in the works of Robert Burns we see the whole cosmos of man’s experience and emotion, from zenith to nadir, from birth until death. – Len G. Murray
117872. Besides, I always thought that one of the great attractions of practising law was what I like to call the collegiality of the profession and I think that duty of collegiality applies even when we are retired. – Len G. Murray
117873. And thus it was that I started to wonder why Robert Burns is so important to us. We have other poets, and other writers, and other heroes, yet we do not afford them the veneration that we afford to Robert Burns. – Len G. Murray
117874. And on 25 January of each year and for many days before it and after it there is not an hour in the day or night when a Burns Supper is not taking place somewhere on this earth. – Len G. Murray
117875. If anyone ever asked me what I had to complain about it would not have taken long to tell them. Maybe I was just easily pleased. – Len G. Murray
117876. There are even more statues of Robert Burns than of any other figure in world literature. Indeed if we discount figures of religion, then only Christopher Columbus has more statues than he worldwide. – Len G. Murray
117877. There does not seem to be that collegiality I referred to, there seems to be much more of a them versus us attitude, rather than we all have a role to play in this process so let’s get on with it. – Len G. Murray
117878. I guess my enthusiasm kind of rubs off on people. – Margaret Murray
117879. I’m so picky. People hate going to the movies with me. – Margaret Murray
117880. The trend of all knowledge at the present is to specialize, but archaeology has in it all the qualities that call for the wide view of the human race, of its growth from the savage to the civilized, which is seen in all stages of social and religious development. – Margaret Murray
117881. I’ve had bad luck with both my wives. The first one left me and the second one didn’t. – Patrick Murray
117882. The only difference between a dead skunk lying in the road and a dead lawyer lying in the road is that there are skid marks around the skunk. – Patrick Murray
117883. A Lawyer will do anything to win a case, sometimes he will even tell the truth. – Patrick Murray
117884. Any political party that includes the word ‘democratic’ in its name, isn’t. – Patrick Murray
117885. For the state of our union to be strong, we need to place value in Americans. – Patty Murray
117886. Funding privatized accounts with Social Security dollars would not only make the program’s long term problems worse, but many believe it represents a first step toward undermining the program’s fundamental goals. – Patty Murray
117887. Good education means learning to read, write and most importantly learn how to learn so that you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up. – Patty Murray
117888. Guess what – I am one of the ONLY senators in the whole United States Senate that is computer literate! – Patty Murray
117889. If the Republicans get control back of the United States Senate, we will no longer have a check and balance on the White House, on the Republican Congress. – Patty Murray
117890. Security is still the most important issue facing Washington state residents and millions of Americans – the security of having a job, of access to affordable health care, of a quality education, and of protecting our homeland and defending our nation. – Patty Murray
117891. The FDA is redefining birth control as abortion. The FDA is setting the bar higher for this kind of drug. – Patty Murray
117892. We haven’t been out in many of these countries helping them build infrastructure. How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that, rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan? – Patty Murray
117893. Caring for our veterans is the duty of a grateful nation. Unfortunately, the Bush administration and congressional Republicans have not lived up to this duty. – Patty Murray
117894. I was able to interpret the difference between the sharp, quick sound and the slow, deep sound of percussion and manipulate it, get a third sound out of things, if the beats were rapid enough. – Sunny Murray
117895. And when I play they know I exist, and it leaves a space when I go. – Sunny Murray
117896. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. – W. H. Murray
117897. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. – W. H. Murray
117898. The more the soul knows, the more she loves, and loving much, she tastes much. – W. H. Murray
117899. No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices. – Edward R. Murrow
117900. We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it. – Edward R. Murrow
117901. We cannot make good news out of bad practice. – Edward R. Murrow
117902. We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. – Edward R. Murrow
117903. To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; credible we must be truthful. – Edward R. Murrow
117904. The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue. – Edward R. Murrow
117905. The politician in my country seeks votes, affection and respect, in that order. With few notable exceptions, they are simply men who want to be loved. – Edward R. Murrow
117906. The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer. – Edward R. Murrow
117907. The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it. – Edward R. Murrow
117908. People say conversation is a lost art; how often I have wished it were. – Edward R. Murrow
117909. Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit. – Edward R. Murrow
117910. Anyone who isn’t confused really doesn’t understand the situation. – Edward R. Murrow
117911. Our major obligation is not to mistake slogans for solutions. – Edward R. Murrow
117912. A satellite has no conscience. – Edward R. Murrow
117913. Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts. – Edward R. Murrow
117914. Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices – just recognize them. – Edward R. Murrow
117915. Fame is morally neutral. – Edward R. Murrow
117916. Good night, and good luck. – Edward R. Murrow
117917. If we were to do the Second Coming of Christ in color for a full hour, there would be a considerable number of stations which would decline to carry it on the grounds that a Western or a quiz show would be more profitable. – Edward R. Murrow
117918. Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn’t mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar. – Edward R. Murrow
117919. Just once in a while let us exalt the importance of ideas and information. – Edward R. Murrow
117920. A reporter is always concerned with tomorrow. There’s nothing tangible of yesterday. All I can say I’ve done is agitate the air ten or fifteen minutes and then boom – it’s gone. – Edward R. Murrow
117921. Belize pledges it continued support to the aspirations of the 23 million people of Taiwan to be full participants in all organs and agencies of the international community. – Said Musa
117922. Independence did not mean chauvinism and narrow nationalism. – Said Musa
117923. Let us work toward greater cooperation with all Caribbean Countries, whether we speak English, Dutch, French or Spanish, whether we are independent or not, and whether we be island or continental territories. – Said Musa
117924. None can be more negative in its impact than the limitation on human resource capacity. – Said Musa
117925. Our Government is committed to pursuing policies and programs which facilitate a further lowering of the interest rates in order to fuel investment and growth. We call on the commercial banks to partner with us in this effort. – Said Musa

117927. Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye. – Miyamoto Musashi

117943. If we ever start communicating with living creatures from other planets, the number one priority is, how are you going to communicate information? Even between different cultures here on Earth, you get into communication problems. – Story Musgrave
117944. When you’re looking that far out, you’re giving people their place in the universe, it touches people. Science is often visual, so it doesn’t need translation. It’s like poetry, it touches you. – Story Musgrave
117945. There really isn’t a time to pause and have a celebration. I feel so serious about the whole thing. – Story Musgrave
117946. Their spirituality was in nature, even though Emerson was a preacher on the pulpit, he ended up going out into nature for direct, face-to-face communication with God, if you want to call all of this creation part of God. – Story Musgrave
117947. The way you remember the past depends upon your hope for the future. And if what you see in your future has no hope, it has no potential, then you view the past that brought you to here as not very good. – Story Musgrave
117948. The statistics of life out there and the statistics of intelligent beings and advanced civilization is a certainty, the way I look at it. that It has not been accepted, because we’ve been in an anthropocentric era. – Story Musgrave
117949. That I learned even as a three year-old that I see this world that is really a mess and I learned to say, this is not me. I am not the one that is messed up. It is out there. – Story Musgrave
117950. It’s hard to say what drives a three year-old, but I think I had a sense that nature was my solace, and nature was a place in which there was beauty, in which there was order. – Story Musgrave
117951. Most of our history in space has been communicated in terms of action – what people do, a chronological list of events which have transpired – as opposed to the human experience of having done those things. – Story Musgrave
117952. Poetry is its own medium; it’s very different than writing prose. Poetry can talk in an imagistic sense, it has particular ways of catching an environment. – Story Musgrave

117954. I would have taken whatever hand I was dealt. Space was it. – Story Musgrave
117955. I think there are huge lessons there, for young people who are getting started in life, as well as other people. And that is, to take responsibility for your own life. Only you are responsible for the course you take from there. – Story Musgrave
117956. I never read a single book as a child. I did not read as a child. I worked on the farm. I had books in the classroom, but that was it. I never read a single book outside of the classroom. – Story Musgrave
117957. I have a great relationship with animals, and with children. I get to their level. I try to see the way a child looks at the world, it’s hugely different. – Story Musgrave
117958. I feel particularly close to them, because I am now out in the universe. I’m in a position to see nature from another point of view, to be outside the earth and see the big picture. – Story Musgrave
117959. I didn’t wish those tragedies upon the people who played them out. It was certainly tragic for them, but not for me. All of those things brought me to where I am. Without those things, I couldn’t be who I am, I wouldn’t be here. – Story Musgrave
117960. And so, I was not a military test pilot, but as soon as NASA expressed an interest in flying scientists and people who were not military test pilots, that was an epiphany that just came like a stroke of lightning. – Story Musgrave
117961. I’ve already written 300 space poems. But I look upon my ultimate form as being a poetic prose. When you read it, it appears to be prose, but within the prose you have embedded the techniques of poetry. – Story Musgrave
117962. Remember that mindsets can not be changed through force and coercion. No idea can ever be forcibly thrust upon any one. – Pervez Musharraf
117963. Who has suffered? The families of the dead, no doubt. But a greater loss was inflicted on Pakistan because, as I said, we lost the pillars of our society. – Pervez Musharraf

117965. There is nothing wrong with intellectual differences flowing from freedom of thought as long as such differences remain confined to intellectual debates. – Pervez Musharraf
117966. Islam teaches tolerance, not hatred; universal brotherhood, not enmity; peace, and not violence. – Pervez Musharraf
