126196. Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought. – Pope John Paul II

126197. Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song. – Pope John Paul II

126198. As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live. – Pope John Paul II

126199. Social justice cannot be attained by violence. Violence kills what it intends to create. – Pope John Paul II

126200. There is no redemption from hell. – Pope Paul III

126201. Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure, but it has great difficulty in generating joy. – Pope Paul VI

126203. Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help. – Pope Paul VI

126204. Of all human activities, man’s listening to God is the supreme act of his reasoning and will. – Pope Paul VI

126205. The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal. – Pope Paul VI

126206. Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies, and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man, even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate the subject matters. – Pope Paul VI

126207. Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows. – Pope Paul VI

126208. The Eucharistic mystery stands at the heart and center of the liturgy since it is the fount of life by which we are cleansed and strengthened to live not for ourselves but for God and to be united in love among ourselves. – Pope Paul VI

126209. The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune. – Pope Paul VI

126210. Never reach out your hand unless you’re willing to extend an arm. – Pope Paul VI

126211. Every mother is like Moses. She does not enter the promised land. She prepares a world she will not see. – Pope Paul VI

126212. All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today. – Pope Paul VI

126213. Failing to be there when a man wants her is a woman’s greatest sin, except to be there when he doesn’t want her. – Pope Paul VI

126214. A dimple on the chin, the devil within. – Pope Paul VI

126215. Anger is as a stone cast into a wasp’s nest. – Pope Paul VI

126216. Are there memories left that are safe from the clutches of phony anniversaries? – Pope Paul VI

126217. Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was. – Pope Paul VI

126218. I met a hundred men going to Delhi and everyone is my brother. – Pope Paul VI

126219. If you want peace work for justice. – Pope Paul VI

126220. In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day’s long. – Pope Paul VI

126221. Liturgy is like a strong tree whose beauty is derived from the continuous renewal of its leaves, but whose strength comes from the old trunk, with solid roots in the ground. – Pope Paul VI

126222. Never give advice in a crowd. – Pope Paul VI

126223. You must strive to multiply bread so that it suffices for the tables of mankind, and not rather favor an artificial control of birth, which would be irrational, in order to diminish the number of guests at the banquet of life. – Pope Paul VI

126224. We consider Christmas as the encounter, the great encounter, the historical encounter, the decisive encounter, between God and mankind. He who has faith knows this truly; let him rejoice. – Pope Paul VI

126225. Think how many blameless lives are brightened by the blazing indiscretions of other people. – Pope Paul VI

126226. A diagnosis is burden enough without being burdened by secrecy and shame. – Jane Pauley

126227. New Yorkers, by reputation, are fast-talking, assertive and easily annoyed; I fit right in. – Jane Pauley

126228. You can’t look at a sleeping cat and be tense. – Jane Pauley

126229. I think attacks on civilians in fact boost morale. – Tom Paulin

126230. Everyone who supports Israel is a Zionist. – Tom Paulin

126231. You are either a Zionist or an anti-Zionist. – Tom Paulin

126232. This sympathy is not translated into force against the British government because it is not like the anti- apartheid movement which had a high profile here and Mandela is a more engaging figure than Yasser Arafat. – Tom Paulin

126233. I think protest and actions have to be organised against the Israelis and their backers. There needs to be a concerted high profile campaign to raise awareness of the people in this country. – Tom Paulin

126234. I never believed that Israel had the right to exist at all. – Tom Paulin

126235. I don’t think the British carry a historical consciousness either. – Tom Paulin

126236. I am not very moved by historical apologies. – Tom Paulin

126237. Hitler bombed London into submission but in fact it created a sense of national solidarity. – Tom Paulin

126238. In my view the European culture carries a very heavy responsibility for the creation of Israel… it is a product of both British and Stalin’s anti- Semitism, but the British never faced their own complicity in its construction. – Tom Paulin

126239. Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them. – Linus Pauling

126240. The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas. – Linus Pauling

126245. Assuming either the Left Wing or the Right Wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles. – Pat Paulsen

126246. All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian. – Pat Paulsen

126247. The greatest thing is nobody cares that I’m fifty years old. They only care what I sound like. – Rob Paulsen

126248. Just because there are celebrities in a movie, it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t think The Ant Bully did all that well the first week at the box office. Compare the movies that have a lot of celebrities with the Jimmy Neutron movie, which had no celebrity voices and grossed almost one hundred million dollars. – Rob Paulsen

126249. It’s a treat to portray a complex character. Besides… where else could I find a job where emotional outbursts and odd exclamations like ‘Egad!’, ‘Narf!’, ‘Poit!’, ‘Splonk!’ and ‘Zort!’ are allowed? – Rob Paulsen

126250. I’m getting paid to do what I got in trouble for in the 7th grade. I absolutely love what I do and thank my lucky stars for twenty-five years of full-time employment in this business. – Rob Paulsen

126251. I’m one of those fortunate actors who gets to work pretty much every day. I’ve had a run of good fortune and work with some terrific people who have hired me. – Rob Paulsen

126252. People have a right to criticize. – Luciano Pavarotti

126253. Sometime to be called Pavarotti is not always an advantage. – Luciano Pavarotti

126254. You don’t need any brains to listen to music. – Luciano Pavarotti

126255. Why should be elite, music? Excuse me. Music must be for everybody. – Luciano Pavarotti

126256. There is no prodigy in our profession. If you see all the great singer of the past, none of them are. – Luciano Pavarotti

126257. The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other. – Luciano Pavarotti

126258. The music itself could never take the place of my own passion in life. – Luciano Pavarotti

126259. Opera is one of the most important art forms. It should be listened to and appreciated by everyone. – Luciano Pavarotti

126260. Opera is a beautiful and important diversion for me. – Luciano Pavarotti

126261. Learning music by reading about it is like making love by mail. – Luciano Pavarotti

126262. It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera. – Luciano Pavarotti

126263. It is a very honest world, our work. I think you cannot fake anything. – Luciano Pavarotti

126264. In opera, as with any performing art, to be in great demand and to command high fees you must be good of course, but you must also be famous. The two are different things. – Luciano Pavarotti

126265. The better voice doesn’t mean being a better singer. – Luciano Pavarotti

126266. I am a very superstitious person. – Luciano Pavarotti

126267. Am I afraid of high notes? Of course I am afraid. What sane man is not? – Luciano Pavarotti

126268. For me, music making is the most joyful activity possible, the most perfect expression of any emotion. – Luciano Pavarotti

126269. I am a tenor buff. I hear myself. – Luciano Pavarotti

126270. I am open to everything. – Luciano Pavarotti

126271. I want to be famous everywhere. – Luciano Pavarotti

126272. I want to reach as many people as possible with the message of music, of wonderful opera. – Luciano Pavarotti

126273. I was an elementary school teacher. – Luciano Pavarotti

126274. I’m a perfectionist, and I always think that I can do better what I have done, even if it’s good. – Luciano Pavarotti

126275. If children are not introduced to music at an early age, I believe something fundamental is actually being taken from them. – Luciano Pavarotti

126276. If you see me once, you cannot confuse me with another. – Luciano Pavarotti

126277. He wants only to rest and to have a little peace. – Luciano Pavarotti

126278. Above all, I am an opera singer. This is how people will remember me. – Luciano Pavarotti

126279. We do not remember days, we remember moments. – Cesare Pavese

126280. Love is the cheapest of religions. – Cesare Pavese

126281. No one ever lacks a good reason for suicide. – Cesare Pavese

126282. No woman marries for money; they are all clever enough, before marrying a millionaire, to fall in love with him first. – Cesare Pavese

126283. One does not kill oneself for love of a woman, but because love – any love – reveals us in our nakedness, our misery, our vulnerability, our nothingness. – Cesare Pavese

126284. One must look for one thing only, to find many. – Cesare Pavese

126285. One stops being a child when one realizes that telling one’s trouble does not make it any better. – Cesare Pavese

126286. The art of living is the art of knowing how to believe lies. – Cesare Pavese

126287. The only joy in the world is to begin. – Cesare Pavese

126288. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten. – Cesare Pavese

126289. Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances. – Cesare Pavese

126290. The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped. – Cesare Pavese

126291. All sins have their origin in a sense of inferiority otherwise called ambition. – Cesare Pavese

126292. Life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic. – Cesare Pavese

126293. Will power is only the tensile strength of one’s own disposition. One cannot increase it by a single ounce. – Cesare Pavese

126294. A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst, he has the company of a boy, a youth, and by and by a grown man – the one he used to be. – Cesare Pavese

126295. Artists are the monks of the bourgeois state. – Cesare Pavese

126296. Every luxury must be paid for, and everything is a luxury, starting with being in this world. – Cesare Pavese

126297. Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue. – Cesare Pavese

126298. It is not that the child lives in a world of imagination, but that the child within us survives and starts into life only at rare moments of recollection, which makes us believe, and it is not true, that, as children, we were imaginative? – Cesare Pavese

126299. He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity. – Cesare Pavese

126300. If it were possible to have a life absolutely free from every feeling of sin, what a terrifying vacuum it would be. – Cesare Pavese

126301. If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears. – Cesare Pavese

126302. Hate is always a clash between our spirit and someone else’s body. – Cesare Pavese

126303. Lessons are not given, they are taken. – Cesare Pavese

126304. Only by observing this condition would the results of our work be regarded as fully conclusive and as having elucidated the normal course of the phenomena. – Ivan Pavlov

126305. Our experiments not only proved the existence of a nervous apparatus in the above-mentioned glands, but also disclosed some facts clearly showing the participation of these nerves in normal activity. – Ivan Pavlov

126306. Our success was mainly due to the fact that we stimulated the nerves of animals that easily stood on their own feet and were not subjected to any painful stimulus either during or immediately before stimulation of their nerves. – Ivan Pavlov

126307. Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise. – Ivan Pavlov

126308. While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things. – Ivan Pavlov

126309. The gastric laboratory uses its protein ferment under an acid reaction. – Ivan Pavlov

126310. The physiologist who succeeds in penetrating deeper and deeper into the digestive canal becomes convinced that it consists of a number of chemical laboratories equipped with various mechanical devices. – Ivan Pavlov

126311. It is not accidental that all phenomena of human life are dominated by the search for daily bread – the oldest link connecting all living things, man included, with the surrounding nature. – Ivan Pavlov

126312. Physiology has, at last, gained control over the nerves which stimulate the gastric glands and the pancreas. – Ivan Pavlov

126313. Thanks to our present surgical methods in physiology we can demonstrate at any time almost all phenomena of digestion without the loss of even a single drop of blood, without a single scream from the animal undergoing the experiment. – Ivan Pavlov

126314. It has long been known for sure that the sight of tasty food makes a hungry man’s mouth water; also lack of appetite has always been regarded as an undesirable phenomenon, from which one might conclude that appetite is essentially linked with the process of digestion. – Ivan Pavlov

126315. It goes without saying that the desire to accomplish the task with more confidence, to avoid wasting time and labour, and to spare our experimental animals as much as possible, made us strictly observe all the precautions taken by surgeons in respect to their patients. – Ivan Pavlov

126316. In the case of the stomach, however, the nerves of the glandular cells were always severed when constructing an artificially isolated pouch and this, naturally, affected the normal work of the stomach. – Ivan Pavlov

126317. From the described experiment it is clear that the mere act of eating, the food even not reaching the stomach, determines the stimulation of the gastric glands. – Ivan Pavlov

126318. Finally, as the digestive canal is a complex system, a series of separate chemical laboratories, I cut the connections between them in order to investigate the course of phenomena in each particular laboratory; thus I resolved the digestive canal into several separate parts. – Ivan Pavlov

126319. Edible substances evoke the secretion of thick, concentrated saliva. Why? The answer, obviously, is that this enables the mass of food to pass smoothly through the tube leading from the mouth into the stomach. – Ivan Pavlov

126320. Don’t become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin. – Ivan Pavlov

126321. But man has still another powerful resource: natural science with its strictly objective methods. – Ivan Pavlov

126322. As was to be expected, the discovery of the nervous apparatus of the salivary glands immediately impelled physiologists to seek a similar apparatus in other glands lying deeper in the digestive canal. – Ivan Pavlov

126323. Appetite, craving for food, is a constant and powerful stimulator of the gastric glands. – Ivan Pavlov

126324. The digestive canal represents a tube passing through the entire organism and communicating with the external world, i.e. as it were the external surface of the body, but turned inwards and thus hidden in the organism. – Ivan Pavlov

126325. It is clear to all that the animal organism is a highly complex system consisting of an almost infinite series of parts connected both with one another and, as a total complex, with the surrounding world, with which it is in a state of equilibrium. – Ivan Pavlov

126326. To follow, without halt, one aim: that’s the secret of success. – Anna Pavlova

126327. When a small child, I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong, happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away. – Anna Pavlova

126328. The right to happiness is fundamental. – Anna Pavlova

126329. No one can arrive from being talented alone, work transforms talent into genius. – Anna Pavlova

126330. God gives talent. Work transforms talent into genius. – Anna Pavlova

126331. Although one may fail to find happiness in theatrical life, one never wishes to give it up after having once tasted its fruits. – Anna Pavlova

126332. Success depends in a very large measure upon individual initiative and exertion, and cannot be achieved except by a dint of hard work. – Anna Pavlova

126333. One of the things about leadership is that you’ve got to show up. And if you want to be president of the United States you’ve got to make a case to the American people that Barack Obama needs to be dismissed from his position. – Tim Pawlenty

126334. The people and the mindset that killed 3,000 of our fellow citizens on September 11 2001, would have killed not 3,000, but 300,000 if they could have or 3 million or 30 million. We need to do everything we can within our value systems and legal structures to make sure that doesn’t happen. – Tim Pawlenty

126335. There is a group of individuals who are radical jihadists. We need to call them by name. They believe it is OK to kill people in the name of their religion. It is not all of Islam. It is not all Muslims. But there is a subgroup who believe it is OK. In fact, it is their plan and design to kill people. – Tim Pawlenty

126336. We have a country that is $5 a gallon gas, $4 a gallon gas, we got unbearable unemployment and a federal government that is out of control. We have to take back this country and we’ve got to get off the sidelines and take it to President Obama. – Tim Pawlenty

126337. I do support enhanced interrogation techniques. Obviously their value is shining through with respect to the bin Laden killing. – Tim Pawlenty

126338. History has taught us over and over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom and liberty are the brave men and women in our armed forces. Throughout our history, they’ve answered the call in bravery and sacrifice. – Timothy Pawlenty

126339. We need to be calling out the flaws and misguided decisions of the Democrats in Congress and the Obama administration. – Timothy Pawlenty

126340. The unions and the auto companies have been unable to put a deal together that fundamentally restructures the industry. It needs to get done. The only way it’s really going to get done is in bankruptcy court. They should have done it six months ago they should do it now. – Timothy Pawlenty

126341. The rising cost of prescription drugs has sparked a prairie fire that is spreading across our nation. – Timothy Pawlenty

126342. The reason that the unions and the other stakeholders have not cut a deal with the automakers is because they believe the federal government is going to bail them out. – Timothy Pawlenty

126343. The only thing growing faster than the federal government’s deficit is Chris Matthews’ man-crush on Barack Obama. – Timothy Pawlenty

126344. Medicaid is essentially bankrupt, Medicare is essentially bankrupt, why the heck would we give the federal government another entitlement program to manage? – Timothy Pawlenty

126345. Keeping a lid on taxes is not just good for the taxpayer. It’s a powerful way to force government to be more accountable, set priorities and spend smarter. Let me repeat that: more accountable, set priorities and spend smarter – that’s what we need to be about. – Timothy Pawlenty

126346. In my address last year, I spoke on the issue of gaming. My preference then is my preference now: to keep gaming within its existing contours, but to explore a better deal for all Minnesotans. – Timothy Pawlenty

126347. A great deal has been said about my commitment not to raise taxes. It’s a core value – it’s common sense – it’s important to keeping and growing jobs – and it’s mainstream! – Timothy Pawlenty

126348. It appears that President Obama is making great progress on climate change, he is changing the political climate in the country back to Republican. – Timothy Pawlenty

126349. I hate the word ‘sneering’, I can’t help the way my face looks. – Jeremy Paxman

126350. The English approach to ideas is not to kill them, but to let them die of neglect. – Jeremy Paxman

126351. I’ve spent my whole life being told I have a face like a horse. You are just what you are, aren’t you? – Jeremy Paxman

126352. The early bird may get the worm, but it’s the second mouse that gets the cheese. – Jeremy Paxman

126353. You don’t really get to pick and chose what you would like to be doing. But I’ve been very fortunate, and I think water seeks its own level. You do gravitate towards things that you would get off on. – Bill Paxton

126354. When you start out as a filmmaker, you do parodies, because you can’t really compete on a studio level. – Bill Paxton

126355. It’s very liberating to be naked in front of a hundred people, but there’s nothing sexual about lovemaking on a movie set. – Bill Paxton

126356. It’s become very popular in contemporary films to have the twist ending. – Bill Paxton

126357. It’s always good to have no expectations when you see a film. Then you can be pleasantly disappointed or surprised. – Bill Paxton

126358. I’ve always loved movies about con men. I think con men are as American as apple pie. – Bill Paxton

126359. I’m actually really opposed to the death penalty. – Bill Paxton

126360. I hate tests. It’s a really lousy way to judge a person’s ability. – Bill Paxton

126361. I grew up in Texas, but that was 20 years ago. Last year, in Fort Worth, they had hail the size of softballs. We’re seeing more and more powerful storms, of all types, almost on a biblical level. – Bill Paxton

126362. I didn’t have a normal background – I was completely demented from a very early age! – Bill Paxton

126363. In the old days the studios guided your career. Now it’s all up to you. – Bill Paxton

126364. Always go hard and fast enough so that when you hit the ditch you can pull out the other side. – Johnny Paycheck

126365. To the truly benevolent mind, indeed, nothing is more satisfactory than to hear of a miser denying himself the necessaries of life a little too far and ridding us of his presence altogether. – James Payn

126366. It is quite extraordinary how very various are the opinions entertained on this point, and, before sifting them, one must be careful in the first place to eliminate from our inquiry the cases of that considerable class of persons who pinch themselves. – James Payn

126367. Nature of course is the best guide in the matter of choosing a pursuit. – James Payn

126368. Nor, in our own country, must we fail to take notice of the establishment of School Boards. – James Payn

126369. One forgives the critic – perhaps – but never the good-natured friend. – James Payn

126370. One would think that in writing about literary men and matters there would be no difficulty in finding a title for one’s essay, or that any embarrassment which might arise would be from excess of material. I find this, however, far from being the case. – James Payn

126371. Some Critics on the Hearth are not only good-natured, but have rather too high, or, if that is impossible, let us say too pronounced, an opinion of the abilities of their literary friends. – James Payn

126372. The fact is, if a young man is naturally indolent, the spur of necessity will drive him but a very little way, while the having enough to live upon is often the means of preserving his self-respect. – James Payn

126373. There are, it is true, at present no great prizes in literature such as are offered by the learned professions, but there are quite as many small ones – competences; while, on the other hand, it is not so much of a lottery. – James Payn

126374. It is better, however, for his own reputation that the story-teller should risk a few actions for libel on account of these unfortunate coincidences than that he should adopt the melancholy device of using blanks or asterisks. – James Payn

126375. It has often struck me that the relation of two important members of the social body to one another has never been sufficiently considered, or treated of, so far as I know, either by the philosopher or the poet. – James Payn

126376. The idea of bringing young people up to Literature is doubtless calculated to raise the eyebrows almost as much as the suggestion of bringing them up to the Stage. – James Payn

126377. Cultivating literature as I do upon a little oatmeal, and driving, when in a position to be driven at all, in that humble vehicle, the ‘bus, I have had, perhaps, exceptional opportunities for observing their mutual position and behaviour; and it is very peculiar. – James Payn

126378. It is certain, indeed, that the sacred writers were apt to make great allowances for people with empty stomachs, and though I am well aware that the present profane ones think this very reprehensible, I venture to agree with the sacred writers. – James Payn

126379. A man with an invention on which he has spent his life, but has no means to get it developed for the good of humanity – or even patented for himself – must feel the pinch of poverty very acutely. – James Payn

126380. A nobler example, because a less personal one, of the pinch of poverty, is when it prevents the accomplishment of some cherished scheme for the benefit of the human race. – James Payn

126381. And what holds good of verse holds infinitely better in respect to prose. – James Payn

126382. But, on the other hand, the occasional and precarious dripping of coppers has by no means a genial effect. – James Payn

126383. For my part, I do not feel that the scheme of future happiness, which ought by rights to be in preparation for me, will be at all interfered with by my not meeting again the man I have in my. mind. – James Payn

126384. For my part, I do not much believe in the predilections of boyhood. – James Payn

126385. How large and varied is the educational bill of fare set before every young gentleman in Great Britain; and to judge by the mental stamina it affords him in most cases, what a waste of good food it is! – James Payn

126386. In all highly civilised communities Pretence is prominent, and sooner or later invades the regions of Literature. – James Payn

126387. A great philosopher has stated that the worst evil of poverty is, that it makes folks ridiculous; by which, I hope, he only means that, as in the above case, it places them in incongruous positions. – James Payn

126388. In England, literary pretence is more universal than elsewhere from our method of education. – James Payn

126389. As a rule, anyone who can tell a good story can write one, so there really need be no mistake about his qualification; such a man will be careful not to be wearisome, and to keep his point, or his catastrophe, well in hand. – James Payn

126390. A pitfall of making a comedy with a studio-and it’s also an American cultural thing-is that I get tired of being encouraged to go always for laughs. – Alexander Payne

126391. I think that Peter Jennings is the only decent one of the big three. – Alexander Payne

126392. You just never know when you’re living in a golden age. – Alexander Payne

126393. That’s how I like to do it with actors, have them really go for it and I’ll tell them when it’s too much. It’s always easier to bring it back then to push it further. – Alexander Payne

126603. Faith gives you an inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life. – Gregory Peck

126615. We cannot solve life’s problems except by solving them. – M. Scott Peck

126636. I never make stupid mistakes. Only very, very clever ones. – John Peel

126637. No minister ever stood, or could stand, against public opinion. – Robert Peel

126638. But after this natural burst of indignation, no man of sense, courage, or prudence will waste his time or his strength in retrospective reproaches or repinings. – Robert Peel

126639. Agitation is the marshalling of the conscience of a nation to mold its laws. – Robert Peel

126649. Whenever I was with Kevin Pollak, I had to leave the room. – Amanda Peet

126653. If I had to give up cheese or chocolate, I’d give up chocolate in a heartbeat. – Amanda Peet

126655. He can’t even be at a casual read and not be creating the whole thing in his mind. I remember feeling very awed about how much he still seems to be so in love with it, and so dedicated to making everything really real and really spontaneous. – Amanda Peet

126656. Beauty is only skin deep. If you go after someone just because she’s beautiful but don’t have anything to talk about, it’s going to get boring fast. You want to look beyond the surface and see if you can have fun or if you have anything in common with this person. – Amanda Peet

126657. I usually try on at least 20 pairs of jeans before I find something that looks good on me. And even then, I have a trustworthy friend tell me if my butt looks big! – Amanda Peet

126658. That’s what we wanted to get across in that moment, particularly when Shaun goes to the shop when he’s all hung over. He doesn’t notice any of the zombies around him just because he never had before, so why should he at that point? – Simon Pegg

126659. In England, we don’t have any guns whatsoever. – Simon Pegg

126660. Also, if you watch the film once, there are lots of things that you won’t get because there are punch lines in the first act, the setup to which isn’t until the second act. – Simon Pegg

126661. American audiences tend to be more expressive than British ones. – Simon Pegg

126662. Both me and Edgar are firm believers in never underestimating or talking down to an audience, and giving an audience something to do, to give them something which is entirely up to them to enter into the film and find these hidden things and whatever. – Simon Pegg

126663. Chris Martin’s a good friend of mine. I’m actually Apple’s godfather. He’s an old friend and we’ve been mates for quite a few years now. – Simon Pegg

126664. Doctor Who was a big part of my childhood so it was a great honour to be in it. – Simon Pegg

126670. I think at its best the American sense of humor is the same as the British sense of humor at its best, which is to be wry and ironic and self deprecating. – Simon Pegg

126676. The simple fact is that what you see on the screen is pretty much real. – Simon Pegg

126677. There are a lot of visual marks that have to be hit, and lines that need to be said in a right way – so there wasn’t really any improvisation on the set when it came to the bulk of the script. – Simon Pegg

126678. There are actually quite high profile British TV star cameos in it that you probably wouldn’t even notice, that the British wouldn’t even notice, let alone the American audience. – Simon Pegg

126679. There is a universality to comedy. – Simon Pegg

126680. There’s this thing of you can live in a city and be completely alone, not notice anything going on around you. – Simon Pegg

126681. We don’t watch the film anymore because we’ve seen it so many times, so we’ll introduce it, walk out and we’ll come back in right about when I wake up in the morning and walk over to the shop and everything’s changed. – Simon Pegg

126682. We suddenly saw how people reacted in the event of massive social upheaval, and the way that the little problems in your life don’t go away. You don’t stop being frightened of spiders just because the world’s blown up. – Simon Pegg

126683. We work with every one of them to see if their character wouldn’t say a certain thing or if something is worded awkwardly – we work with them to rectify that. – Simon Pegg

126685. You don’t look at each other on the subway. – Simon Pegg

126696. Any father whose son raises his hand against him is guilty of having produced a son who raised his hand against him. – Charles Peguy

126702. The essence of belief is the establishment of a habit; and different beliefs are distinguished by the different modes of action to which they give rise. – Charles Sanders Peirce

126703. Generality is, indeed, an indispensable ingredient of reality; for mere individual existence or actuality without any regularity whatever is a nullity. Chaos is pure nothing. – Charles Sanders Peirce

126704. The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking. – Charles Sanders Peirce

126705. It will sometimes strike a scientific man that the philosophers have been less intent on finding out what the facts are, than on inquiring what belief is most in harmony with their system. – Charles Sanders Peirce

126706. It is impossible not to envy the man who can dismiss reason, although we know how it must turn out at last. – Charles Sanders Peirce

126707. Doubt is an uneasy and dissatisfied state from which we struggle to free ourselves and pass into the state of belief; while the latter is a calm and satisfactory state which we do not wish to avoid, or to change to a belief in anything else. – Charles Sanders Peirce

126708. Bad reasoning as well as good reasoning is possible; and this fact is the foundation of the practical side of logic. – Charles Sanders Peirce

126709. All the evolution we know of proceeds from the vague to the definite. – Charles Sanders Peirce

126710. A quality is something capable of being completely embodied. A law never can be embodied in its character as a law except by determining a habit. A quality is how something may or might have been. A law is how an endless future must continue to be. – Charles Sanders Peirce

126711. Every new concept first comes to the mind in a judgment. – Charles Sanders Peirce

126712. It makes you feel good to know that there’s other people afflicted like you. – Harvey Pekar

126717. I write scripts in storyboard fashion using stick figures, and thought balloons and word balloons and captions. Then I’ll write descriptions of what scenes should look like and turn it over to the artist. – Harvey Pekar

126718. It didn’t take long to establish myself, as far as people thinking my work was good. They liked it from the start. – Harvey Pekar

126719. I really don’t have a lot in common with the people who attend the Comic Con. It’s like assuming that all people who write prose are the same. – Harvey Pekar

126720. It seemed to me you could do anything in comics. So I started doing my thing, which is mainly influenced by novelists, stand-up comedians, that sort of thing. – Harvey Pekar

126722. I’ve probably had my day in the sun. I think I’ve influenced a lot of comic book writers. – Harvey Pekar

126723. I think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form. – Harvey Pekar

126724. American Splendor is just an ongoing journal. It’s an ongoing autobiography. I started it when I was in my early 30s, and I just keep going. – Harvey Pekar

126725. I think comics have far more potential than a lot of people realize. – Harvey Pekar

126726. I met Robert Crumb in 1962; he lived in Cleveland for a while. I took a look at his stuff. Crumb was doing stuff beyond what other writers and artists were doing. It was a step beyond Mad. – Harvey Pekar

126727. I don’t write about certain arguments I have with my wife. I’d get my head torn off if wrote about certain things. – Harvey Pekar

126729. I continue to be disappointed that people don’t try and diversify the kind of work they are doing in comics. – Harvey Pekar

126736. People who are readers of fiction aren’t particularly interested in comic books. – Harvey Pekar

126738. Plays have been made of my comics. – Harvey Pekar

126740. There hasn’t been enough change in comics to suit me. I don’t know why exactly. – Harvey Pekar

126754. We haven’t really gotten the credit for what we have done. – Nancy Pelosi

126756. My biggest fight has been between those who wanted to do something incremental and those who wanted to do something comprehensive. We won that fight, and once we kick through this door, there’ll be more legislation to follow. – Nancy Pelosi

126757. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process. – Nancy Pelosi

126758. Social Security has never failed to pay promised benefits, and Democrats will fight to make sure that Republicans do not turn a guaranteed benefit into a guaranteed gamble. – Nancy Pelosi

126759. The impact of climate change is a tremendous risk to the security and well-being of our countries. – Nancy Pelosi

126760. The president led us into the Iraq war on the basis of unproven assertions without evidence; he embraced a radical doctrine of pre-emptive war unprecedented in our history; and he failed to build a true international coalition. – Nancy Pelosi

126761. Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance. – Nancy Pelosi

126762. We have so much room for improvement. Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory… of how we are taking responsibility. – Nancy Pelosi

126763. We in Congress stand by Israel. In Congress, we speak with one voice on the subject of Israel. – Nancy Pelosi

126764. We’re sad about some of the losses of members of great seniority and distinction in the Congress, and some very new members, who will no longer be serving with us. – Nancy Pelosi

126765. What we’re discussing privately and publicly, is a budget which is a blueprint for the future which creates jobs, which educates our children, which provides healthcare for all Americans, which takes our deficit down, which gives a tax cut for 95% of the American people. – Nancy Pelosi

126766. In our recovery package we put new standards of accountability and transparency, which we hope will now apply. – Nancy Pelosi

126767. Furthermore, we believe that health care reform, again I said at the beginning of my remarks, that we sent the three pillars that the President’s economic stabilization and job creation initiatives were education and innovation – innovation begins in the classroom – clean energy and climate, addressing the climate issues in an innovative way to keep us number one and competitive in the world with the new technology, and the third, first among equals I may say, is health care, health insurance reform. – Nancy Pelosi

126768. We are not going back to the failed policies of the past. We are fighting for the middle class! – Nancy Pelosi

126769. Being the first woman speaker and breaking the marble ceiling is pretty important. Now it’s time to move on. – Nancy Pelosi

126770. I have deep emotions about the American people. If I were to cry for anything, I would cry for them and the policies that they’re about to face. – Nancy Pelosi

126771. America will be far safer if we reduce the chances of a terrorist attack in one of our cities than if we diminish the civil liberties of our own people. – Nancy Pelosi

126772. If you make – not have – $1 million a year, should you not participate in the sense of community of our country? I’m willing to put that on the table. – Nancy Pelosi

126773. Bipartisanship is nice, but it cannot be a substitute for action, not having it cannot prevent us from going forward. – Nancy Pelosi

126774. But we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. – Nancy Pelosi

126775. Democratic priorities remain clear: to provide a tax cut for working families, to promote policies that produce jobs and economic growth, and to assist millions of our fellow Americans who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. – Nancy Pelosi

126776. I have absolutely no regret about my vote against this war. The same questions remain. The cost in human lives, the cost to our budget, probably 100 billion. We could have probably brought down that statue for a lot less. – Nancy Pelosi

126783. What Bill Clinton did to us was cruel. The White House gave my attorneys indications that there was a good chance for my clemency to be granted. I had to prepare myself for being released because there was no sign that my petition would be denied. – Leonard Peltier

126784. They still don’t want to admit to the world that this isn’t the best and the fairest and most equal justice system. And that they are guilty of railroading people into jail. They don’t want to, or never will, admit these things. – Leonard Peltier

126788. When you please others in hopes of being accepted, you lose you self-worth in the process. – Dave Pelzer

126829. I figured, if I failed, I’d tried something that I hadn’t tried before and if one movie was going to destroy my career than I didn’t have much of a career to start with. I just went for it. God willing I wasn’t over the top and didn’t embarrass myself. – Elizabeth Pena

126830. I believe the director is the one that sets the mood and if you have this hysterical director it’s a domino effect. I would work for him forever, for nothing. Don’t tell my agent that. – Elizabeth Pena

126831. Every time I work with a European director, I find they hire the person that captures the spirit of the role. Americans tend to hire the best face. The person that looks more like the role, whether they can perform the role or not is a bonus. – Elizabeth Pena

126832. You bet every member of Congress who votes for this bill ought to read it, read it thoroughly, and understand that what we’re looking at here amounts to nothing more than a government takeover of our health care economy, paid for with nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes on individuals and small businesses. And it must be opposed. – Mike Pence

126835. My votes against the education bill and my votes against the Medicare bill got huge play at home. – Mike Pence

126844. It’s time to stop the raid on the Social Security trust fund and start allowing Americans to invest their Social Security taxes in personal savings accounts. – Mike Pence

126845. Well, I think the reality is that as you study – when President Kennedy cut marginal tax rates, when Ronald Reagan cut marginal tax rates, when President Bush imposed those tax cuts, they actually generated economic growth. They expanded the economy. They expand tax revenues. – Mike Pence

126846. Sadly, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal in this country and has been going on at universities and research facilities for years. – Mike Pence

126847. You know, Hoosiers recognize pork when we see it. And they recognize what bailing out every failing business in America means – We’re burying generations under a mountain range of debt. – Mike Pence

126848. It is not for the State Department or even the Secretary of State to say when and how the resources of the American people will be spent. – Mike Pence

126849. It is a rare piece of legislation indeed where there is so much agreement about the goals. – Mike Pence

126850. Well the truth is, Republicans didn’t just lose a few elections, we lost our way. – Mike Pence

126851. By requiring that any surplus in Social Security taxes be returned to the American people in personal savings accounts, the plan ensures that Social Security taxes will be used for Social Security. – Mike Pence

126852. All we’re getting from the Democratic majority in Congress and from this White House is more bailouts, more spending, more planned stimulus, more deficits and debt, and the American people have had it. – Mike Pence

126853. And conservatives know that if you reject these principles of limited government and urge others to reject them you can be my ally, you can be my friend but you cannot call yourself a conservative. – Mike Pence

126854. The anguish in London is a vivid reminder of why we cannot relent in taking the steps necessary to defend our homeland from the present terrorist threat. – Mike Pence

126858. For more than forty years, the United States Congress has shamelessly used payroll taxes intended for Social Security to fund big government spending. – Mike Pence

126859. Human cloning is coming. – Mike Pence

126860. I mean, the reality is unemployment today – over 14 million Americans are unemployed. That’s exactly what it was a year ago. I mean, this – the American people know we can’t borrow and spend and bail our way back to a growing economy. – Mike Pence

126861. I never thought I’d live to see the day that an American administration would denounce the state of Israel for rebuilding Jerusalem. – Mike Pence

126862. It’s time for conservative Americans to do what Reagan did. – Mike Pence

126863. It’s time to save the U.N. from its own scandals and mismanagement. It’s time for U.N. Reform with teeth. – Mike Pence

126864. What I want the Congress of the United States to do, and frankly what I would like to see the President of the United States of America do, is speak a word of support to the people of Iran. – Mike Pence

126869. I’m a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order. – Mike Pence

126870. I opposed No Child Left Behind, I opposed the Medicare prescription drug bill, I opposed the Wall Street bailout. What the American people are starting to see is that Republican, Republicans on Capitol Hill get it and the Democrats, from the White House to Capitol Hill, just don’t get it. – Mike Pence

126876. Since the end of the Cold War, hegemonism has become increasingly unpopular. – Li Peng

126902. It’s just poetry, beauty and love. How hard can that be to act? – Robin Wright Penn

126926. I like the whole package to be good, It’s a rarity that that happens, so I end up not working a lot. – Robin Wright Penn

126928. I used to ask Sean questions about acting. He’s a brilliant actor, but I could never digest his information. I work primarily on an intuitive level. – Robin Wright Penn

126937. On any movie I’m involved with, I say what I think. – Sean Penn

126938. Oh, I’m a big-mouth. I said a lot of things. – Sean Penn

126939. So if we have anything original to offer, it’s to speak from our own life about the society we’re in. – Sean Penn

126940. There are a few directors around who I have some excitement about spending my $7 at the theatre watching their movies. – Sean Penn

126941. What happens is things come to you – director, script – and if you respond to it, it’s because it’s tapping into some part of what’s inside you, and different roles tap into different parts. – Sean Penn

126942. There’s a lot of mediocrity being celebrated, and a lot of wonderful stuff being ignored or discouraged. – Sean Penn

126943. Well, I think that when you direct a movie or write it. And in the case of the two movies I did, I wrote and directed, they occupy a special place for you. – Sean Penn

126970. Much reading is an oppression of the mind, and extinguishes the natural candle, which is the reason of so many senseless scholars in the world. – William Penn

126971. Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants. – William Penn

126972. Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children. – William Penn

126973. Love is the hardest lesson in Christianity; but, for that reason, it should be most our care to learn it. – William Penn

126987. The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves. – William Penn

126988. We are apt to love praise, but not deserve it. But if we would deserve it, we must love virtue more than that. – William Penn
