124294. Almost the moment he died, they put him in Playboy as one of the greatest drummers, which he was – there’s no doubt about it. There’s never been anybody since. He’s one of the greatest drummers that ever lived. – Jimmy Page
124295. But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn’t do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs – Early Days – which is what it is – and Latter Days. – Jimmy Page

124352. Leaving sex to the feminists is like letting your dog vacation at the taxidermist. – Camille Paglia

124359. Every man must define his identity against his mother. If he does not, he just falls back into her and is swallowed up. – Camille Paglia
124360. Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature. – Camille Paglia

124367. Out with stereotypes, feminism proclaims. But stereotypes are the west’s stunning sexual personae, the vehicles of art’s assault against nature. The moment there is imagination, there is myth. – Camille Paglia
124368. Woman is the dominant sex. Men have to do all sorts of stuff to prove that they are worthy of woman’s attention. – Camille Paglia

124380. Rule of art: Cant kills creativity! – Camille Paglia
124381. Within the U.S., the Obama presidency will be mainly measured by the success or failure of his economic policies. And here, I fear, the monstrous stimulus package with which this administration stumbled out of the gate will prove to be Obama’s Waterloo. – Camille Paglia

124635. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities. – Sarah Palin
124636. I came to office promising major ethics reform to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is a law. While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor’s office that I didn’t believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over-the-top. I put it on eBay. – Sarah Palin

124642. New terms used like, ‘overseas contingency operation’ instead of the word ‘war’ – that reflects a worldview that is out of touch with the enemy that we face. We can’t spin our way out of this threat. – Sarah Palin

124656. We need independents, we need the GOP, we need Reagan Democrats. – Sarah Palin
124657. Our government needs to adopt a pro-market agenda that doesn’t pick winners and losers, but it invites competition and it levels the playing field for everyone. – Sarah Palin

124663. People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation – much like building a mosque at Ground Zero. – Sarah Palin
124664. To reduce deficit spending and our enormous debt, you reign in spending. You cut the budget. You don’t take more from the private sector and grow government with it. And that’s exactly what Obama has in mind with this expiration of Bush tax cuts proposal of his. – Sarah Palin
124665. They think that, if we were just smart enough, we’d be able to understand their policies. And I so want to tell ’em, and I do tell ’em, Oh, we’re plenty smart, oh yeah – we know what’s goin’ on. And we don’t like what’s goin’ on. And we’re not gonna let them tell us to sit down and shut up. – Sarah Palin
124666. The Republican Party would be really smart to absorb as much of the Tea Party movement as possible. – Sarah Palin
124667. The only place that the left hasn’t placed the blame is on their agenda, so some advice for our friends on that side of the aisle: that’s where you’ve gotta look because that’s what got you into this mess. – Sarah Palin
124668. The lesson of the last year is this: foreign policy can’t be managed through the politics of personality, and our President would do well to take note of an observation John F. Kennedy made once he was in office – that all of the world’s problems aren’t his predecessor’s fault. – Sarah Palin
124669. The fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all. – Sarah Palin
124670. The administration says, then, there are no downsides or upsides to treating terrorists like civilian criminal defendants, but a lot of us would beg to differ. – Sarah Palin

124672. Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge, and children with special needs inspire a very, very special love. – Sarah Palin
124673. Politics isn’t just a game of clashing parties and competing interests. The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it. – Sarah Palin
124674. People know something has gone terribly wrong with our government and it has gotten so far off track. But people also know that there is nothing wrong in America that a good old-fashioned election can’t fix. – Sarah Palin
124675. Annihilation is an absurdity in terms. – Bernard Palissy
124676. That’s what noir feels like to me. It feels like some kind of recurring dream, with very strong archetypes operating. You know, the guilty girl being pursued, falling, all kinds of stuff that we see in our dreams all the time. – Brian De Palma
124677. The biggest mistake in student films is that they are usually cast so badly, with friends and people the directors know. Actually you can cover a lot of bad direction with good acting. – Brian De Palma
124678. The real trouble with film school is that the people teaching are so far out of the industry that they don’t give the students an idea of what’s happening. – Brian De Palma
124679. Well, I just think through your career you go through different phases, and I just got sort of uninspired by the whole studio process of making and releasing films. – Brian De Palma
124680. Well, like any time you’re shooting documentary stuff, you’ve got to be in the moment, and you’ve got to be able to be in control enough to capture what’s happening. – Brian De Palma

124688. I guess what’s most surprised me in most of the reviews is that they don’t seem to get the noir story in the dream sequence, so they analyze it like a straight noir movie. – Brian De Palma

124695. I hadn’t done just a straight-out comedy in a long time, just letting an ensemble do really good character acting, having them carry the movie as in my earlier pictures. – Brian De Palma
124696. It’s always great when you discover someone. – Brian De Palma
124697. I don’t see scarey films. I certainly wouldn’t go see my films. – Brian De Palma
124698. I do like directing other people’s material. – Brian De Palma
124699. But, number one, I think traditional noir doesn’t work in contemporary storytelling because we don’t live in that world anymore. – Brian De Palma

124703. Godard is incredibly brilliant, the things he says. Apparently here in France, the most interesting thing when a new film of his is going to come out are his press conferences, because he’s so brilliant. – Brian De Palma
124704. I’ve dropped myself into straightforward character pieces in order to explore that form and reap its values. But you are sort of restricted visually when your first requirement is to tell a fairly straightforward story. – Brian De Palma

124722. I still feel like I can play defense at first base at a very high level. – Rafael Palmeiro
124723. They try to say this era was a tainted era. But so many great players played in the last 15 to 20 years. This is going to be the best era in the history of the game in my opinion. – Rafael Palmeiro
124724. There’s a lot of history in Boston and a lot of history, obviously, in New York with all the championships. – Rafael Palmeiro
124725. The tragedy of all of this is that it happened to me and it shouldn’t have happened. It ruined my life and my career. That’s the tragedy of this. – Rafael Palmeiro
124726. The other deals with my life and my livelihood and my family and all that I stand for. – Rafael Palmeiro

124729. It was a hard time. It was something I would love to erase from my memory. – Rafael Palmeiro
124730. I’m very happy for the Contreras family. They’re out. Now they’ve got a chance to experience life the way I did as a kid. You know, his kids are going to have a real chance in life now, and the same way that I had it. – Rafael Palmeiro
124731. I’m not sure. I did not set it up. I have never done a polygraph test in my life. I didn’t know what to expect. I was just there to answer the questions that they put in front of me. – Rafael Palmeiro
124732. I’m not going to say what was being used in the clubhouse; whatever happens in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse. But it was not like it was in your face. – Rafael Palmeiro
124733. I would love to go back and help rebuild that country and help – you know, kind of like what’s going on with Iraq right now. You know, they’ve got a new government in place. They’re trying to rebuild the country. I would love for that to happen in Cuba also. – Rafael Palmeiro
124734. I wish that they could have more freedoms to be able to come and play. I know that the only way that they can get out is by, you know, defecting to another country or whatever, or getting on a boat. – Rafael Palmeiro
124735. I don’t think that – you know, I’m sure that there’s guys that are doing it, because I’m sure in every sport there’s players who want to get the edge. But I think that it’s been blown overly – way more than guys are using it in our game. – Rafael Palmeiro
124736. I wish that they had the freedoms like the Japanese and the Koreans and the Mexicans and everybody else that has that freedom to come over here and play the game, because I know Cuba has a very strong baseball history. – Rafael Palmeiro
