128223. When I was in first grade, everyone made fun of my name, of course. I think it’s kind of a big name to hold up when you’re nine years old. It seemed goofy. I used to tell people I wanted to change the world and they used to think, ‘This kid’s really weird’. – River Phoenix

128224. We are taught to consume. And that’s what we do. But if we realized that there really is no reason to consume, that it’s just a mind set, that it’s just an addiction, then we wouldn’t be out there stepping on people’s hands climbing the corporate ladder of success. – River Phoenix

128236. Music is my main goal, but I’m not going to rush a record out. There are so many actors who have come out with albums these days. I don’t want to do it because it’s the thing to do. I want to wait until the time is right. – River Phoenix

128840. Even in the presence of others he was completely alone. – Robert M. Pirsig

128841. To live only for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top. – Robert M. Pirsig

128842. Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best, 20 – 20 hindsight. It’s good for seeing where you’ve been. It’s good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can’t tell you where you ought to go. – Robert M. Pirsig

128843. It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, “Go away, I’m looking for the truth,” and so it goes away. Puzzling. – Robert M. Pirsig

128844. We keep passing unseen through little moments of other people’s lives. – Robert M. Pirsig

128845. To live for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top. – Robert M. Pirsig

128847. It is absurd to look for perfection. – Camille Pissarro

128855. I began to understand my sensations, to know what I wanted, at around the age of forty – but only vaguely. – Camille Pissarro

128857. Observe that it is a great error to believe that all mediums of art are not closely tied to their time. – Camille Pissarro

128858. I sometimes have a horrible fear of turning up a canvas of mine. I’m always afraid of finding a monster in place of the precious jewels I thought I had put there! – Camille Pissarro

128859. It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered something in its true character. – Camille Pissarro

128860. Paint the essential character of things. – Camille Pissarro

128861. At fifty, that is in 1880, I formulated the idea of unity, without being able to render it. At sixty, I am beginning to see the possibility of rendering it. – Camille Pissarro

128862. I remember that, although I was full of fervour, I didn’t have the slightest inkling, even at forty, of the deeper side to the movement we were pursuing by instinct. It was in the air! – Camille Pissarro

128863. Pilots are not the threat. – John Pistole

128864. I want to improve TSA’s counterterrorism focus through intelligence and cutting edge technology, support the TSA workforce, and strengthen the agency’s relationships with stakeholders and the traveling public. All of these priorities are interconnected and are vital to TSA’s mission – and I would say, all of our collective mission. – John Pistole

128865. I particularly recognize that reasonable people can disagree as to what that proper balance or blend is between privacy and security and safety. – John Pistole

128866. I did not want to provide a blueprint or roadmap for the terrorists, saying ‘Here are our new security procedures’. – John Pistole

128867. But what I want to assure and reassure the public is we are concerned about your safety, your security, and your privacy. Let’s work together in partnership to ensure that we can have the best way forward. – John Pistole

128868. And so we try to address those concerns in every way possible, recognizing, again, in the final analysis, everybody on that flight wants to be assured with the highest level of confidence that everybody else on that flight has been properly screened, and including me and you and everybody. – John Pistole

128869. Our pat-down approach is very similar to what is being utilized in Europe and, as we know, around the world. It’s even much more thorough in other parts of the world. – John Pistole

128870. The bottom line is, if somebody doesn’t go through proper security screening, they’re not going to go on the flight. – John Pistole

128871. The reason we are doing these types of pat downs and using the advanced imagery technology is trying to take the latest intelligence and how we know al Qaeda and affiliates want to hurt us, they want to bring down whether it is passenger air craft or cargo aircraft. – John Pistole

128872. I want to take TSA to the next level. – John Pistole

128873. We put people of concern on the watch list or the no-fly list, so we have a number of layers of security beyond the airport checkpoint. We gather as much information about a passenger as the law allows without profiling. – John Pistole

128874. We save limited resources in terms of who we are physically screening. The approach will allow us to pay more attention to those potential terrorists. – John Pistole

128875. We want to be sensitive to people’s concerns about privacy about their personal being and things, while ensuring that everybody on every flight has been properly screened. – John Pistole

128876. The bottom line is how do we best provide for the security of the traveling public in light of a determined enemy who is adept at constructing well-designed, well-concealed devices which would not show up in a walk-through metal detector? We’re trying to employ the best technology to identify any possible threat. – John Pistole

128877. I must say I’ve always composed music from the point of view of the performers. – Walter Piston

128878. I’m at the stage of my career when it’s not only about winning and developing players, it’s about having fun. That’s a void in your life right now, but it’s something you’re going to have here. – Rick Pitino

128879. The only way to get people to like working hard is to motivate them. Today, people must understand why they’re working hard. Every individual in an organization is motivated by something different. – Rick Pitino

128881. Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what you have to offer. – Rick Pitino

128882. I just don’t deal with the negativity. I can’t get involved in that side of it. I don’t understand it, and you can’t let it take away from your life and what you are trying to do. – Rick Pitino

128883. The other guys just caught lightning in a bottle with a great game. – Rick Pitino

128884. Failure is good. It’s fertilizer. Everything I’ve learned about coaching, I’ve learned from making mistakes. – Rick Pitino

128885. It could happen to anyone when you get hired by a different president. There’s a difference in philosophies. It happens. It’s a change in CEOs. They have their own people, their own philosophies, and it’s different than what Bob stands for. – Rick Pitino

128886. If I didn’t have a recruiting engagement, I was going to be here. I did everything possible to change the recruiting thing. I’m a very small part of this night, but I did want to be a part of it. – Rick Pitino

128887. I’d learned how much happiness money can bring you. Very little. – Rick Pitino

128888. I can say that hands down from being in this business 32 years; we’re going to be much better than we were last year just because there’s eight new players that now have experience and Palacios will be healthy. – Rick Pitino

128889. He knew I enjoyed the relationships of college basketball. All along, he was the wise one. – Rick Pitino

128890. Francisco Garcia could have been a high draft choice last year, probably in the 20s. He’s the best wing player I’ve ever coached. But he’s done it the right way. He knew he had to work on his body to become a good pro. When he goes into the pros, he’ll be physically ready. – Rick Pitino

128891. Life begins at forty. – Walter B. Pitkin

128892. I have no intention of becoming a shorthand author. – Isaac Pitman

128893. Well-arranged time is the surest mark of a well-arranged mind. – Isaac Pitman

128896. Fame is a bitch, man. – Brad Pitt

128897. Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen. – Brad Pitt

128898. I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it’s up to me. – Brad Pitt

128899. I have a hard time with morals. All I know is what feels right, what’s more important to me is being honest about who you are. Morals I get a little hung up on. – Brad Pitt

128900. I know when I go outside, there’ll be a van or two and they’ll probably follow us four out of seven days a week, trying to get something. But I’m just going across town and I know they’re just wasting their day, so it doesn’t bother me anymore. – Brad Pitt

128901. I phoned my grandparents and my grandfather said ‘We saw your movie.’ ‘Which one?’ I said. He shouted ‘Betty, what was the name of that movie I didn’t like? – Brad Pitt

128902. I’d like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right. – Brad Pitt

128903. By the time this concert ends this evening, 30,000 Africans will have died because of extreme poverty. By this time tomorrow evening, another 30,000. This does not make sense. – Brad Pitt

128904. Success is a beast. And it actually puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. You get away with more instead of looking within. – Brad Pitt

128905. You must lose everything in order to gain anything. – Brad Pitt

128906. I’m one of those people you hate because of genetics. It is the truth. – Brad Pitt

128907. People don’t want to be plagued by not knowing-they want answers. – Michael Pitt

128908. Acting is really scary, but it’s also challenging, fun, hard work. There’s always an element of improvisation with every actor, even when something is really scripted. – Michael Pitt

128909. All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I’m going to use that. – Michael Pitt

128910. I feel that film, as opposed to theatre, is about capturing that one, real moment. – Michael Pitt

128911. I think in some ways you learn more from the things you don’t like than the things you do. – Michael Pitt

128912. I think Van Sant is the most important American director we have. He takes the most risks. He’s just pure to me. – Michael Pitt

128913. It sounds cliche, but success is your friends, your family, what you do, and if you’re happy when you wake up. – Michael Pitt

128914. There are two kinds of directors: There’s the kind where two plus two equals four, and you have to help them figure it out. And then there’s the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it. – Michael Pitt

128915. When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that. – Michael Pitt

128916. Don’t talk to me about a man’s being able to talk sense; everyone can talk sense. Can he talk nonsense? – William Pitt

128917. If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country, I never would lay down my arms never never never! – William Pitt

128922. Unlimited power corrupts the possessor. – William Pitt

128923. Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who posses it; and this I know, my lords: that where law ends, tyranny begins. – William Pitt

128924. I am much interested and honoured by what you tell me of C. S. Lewis. – Ruth Pitter

128925. I had to be intellectually satisfied as well as emotionally because at that time of life one doesn’t just fall into it in adolescent emotion, and I was satisfied at every point that it was the one way and the hard way to do things. – Ruth Pitter

128926. I would do any honest thing under the sun to know C. S. Lewis, and so am very grateful to you. – Ruth Pitter

128927. It seems to me that in our lifetime we have passed from the wreck of liberal humanism to the beginning of a new recognition of dogma: isn’t it rather tremendous? – Ruth Pitter

128928. One’s homesickness for Heaven finds at least an inn there; and it’s an inn on the right road. – Ruth Pitter

128929. There were air raids at night. The factory was dark and dirty. And I remember thinking – well – I must find somebody or something because like this I cannot go on. – Ruth Pitter

128930. And I used to assemble the family to hear because I thought that they were so good that even from the point of view of enjoyment people shouldn’t miss them, and I got every word of his that I could, and I could see by hard argument there was only the one way for it. – Ruth Pitter

128931. Are you really going to see Lewis? One of the few people it’s worth getting excited over, I think. I know he is a good poet. I daresay he never heard of me, but I wish you would tell him that his work is the joy of my life. – Ruth Pitter

128932. A boy is not free to find a partner of his own as long as he must be the partner to his mother. – Frank Pittman

128933. Why do otherwise sane, competent, strong men, men who can wrestle bears or raid corporations, shrink away in horror at the thought of washing a dish or changing a diaper? – Frank Pittman

128934. We know how powerful our mother was when we were little, but is our wife that powerful to us now? Must we relive our great deed of escape from Mama with every other woman in our life? – Frank Pittman

128936. No one, however powerful and successful, can function as an adult if his parents are not satisfied with him. – Frank Pittman

128937. Men who have been raised violently have every reason to believe it is appropriate for them to control others through violence; they feel no compunction over being violent to women, children, and one another. – Frank Pittman

128938. Fathering makes a man, whatever his standing in the eyes of the world, feel strong and good and important, just as he makes his child feel loved and valued. – Frank Pittman

128939. Each generation’s job is to question what parents accept on faith, to explore possibilities, and adapt the last generation’s system of values for a new age. – Frank Pittman

128940. A man doesn’t have to have all the answers; children will teach him how to parent them, and in the process will teach him everything he needs to know about life. – Frank Pittman

128941. The biggest compliment to me is that guys really approach me and they have a connection with me, so there must be something I’m doing that is authentic, otherwise they wouldn’t connect with me so strongly. It’s a real compliment. – Jeremy Piven

128942. We all have so many different elements inside of us and we’re not all one thing. – Jeremy Piven

128943. Unless an entire row of people got up in the middle of a performance and left the theater in disgust, I felt as though I hadn’t done my job. – Jeremy Piven

128944. The Dalai Lama was once asked for his favorite chant, and he said it was better not to have a favorite anything, which I think is a great thought. – Jeremy Piven

128946. I’m not a pretty boy who came to town and burst out of the gate, which is a good thing, because if I was, I probably wouldn’t have been good enough then. I probably wouldn’t have lasted. So I was very lucky not to be pretty. – Jeremy Piven

128947. I’m not a boy now. I’m a man, I hope. I hope I’ve had my artistic bar mitzvah somewhere. – Jeremy Piven

128948. I’m just mystified and fascinated by women, and I’m still single. Hence all of that, and the fact that I celebrate them so much, I understand that I’m unevolved at this exact moment to share my life with one. I wouldn’t inflict that upon anyone yet. But, I’m getting closer. – Jeremy Piven

128949. I want to be radical on the inside, but not on the outside. – Jeremy Piven

128950. I have a place in Chicago and I get there as much as I can. The city is so unbelievably beautiful. It’s one of the greatest cities on the planet. My heart beats differently when I’m in Chicago. It slows down and I feel more at ease. – Jeremy Piven

128951. I feel, as a person, very uninteresting. – Jeremy Piven

128952. The stage is my love, it’s where I started and where I do my best work. – Jeremy Piven

128959. People who do not speak our language very well do complain of feeling rebuffed by French people, who can sometimes be impatient, or even intolerant. – Bernard Pivot

128961. The more English is heard in the world, the more gratifying it seems to speak French, and above all to know the culture of our country. They find a kind of French social grace in the language and culture. – Bernard Pivot

128962. This programme would only really make sense and work properly if it was also broadcast on France’s international television channel TV5. So I ended up with a double production, on France 2 and TV5. – Bernard Pivot

128963. No burden is so heavy for a man to bear as a succession of happy days. – Max Planck

128964. Whence come I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question, the same for every one of us. Science has no answer to it. – Max Planck

128971. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force… We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter. – Max Planck

128972. A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. – Max Planck

128973. A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. – Max Planck

128974. Scientific discovery and scientific knowledge have been achieved only by those who have gone in pursuit of it without any practical purpose whatsoever in view. – Max Planck

128975. We are trying to communicate a fulfilled ideal. Does anybody remember laughter? – Robert Plant

128976. People say that I’m a millionaire, but that’s not true – I only spend millions. – Robert Plant

128977. Does anyone remember laughter? – Robert Plant

128978. How can you consider flower power outdated? The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That’s all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated? – Robert Plant

128979. I can’t moan about any of it. I had a great time in the goldfish bowl. – Robert Plant

128980. I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things. – Robert Plant

128981. I realized what Led Zeppelin was about around the end of our first U.S. tour. We started off not even on the bill in Denver, and by the time we got to New York we were second to Iron Butterfly, and they didn’t want to go on! – Robert Plant

128982. You know, people can’t fall in love with me just because I’m good at what I do. – Robert Plant

128987. No, I’ve never thought that I was gay. And that’s not something you think. It’s something you know. – Robert Plant

128988. My vocal style I haven’t tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today. – Robert Plant

128989. It’s sort of a feeling of power onstage. It’s really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don’t really think it’s power… it’s the goodness. – Robert Plant

128990. You can’t give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside – so be it. But at least you know you’ve tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it. – Robert Plant

128992. Suppose you were working at your job one day, and you made a little mistake. Then all of a sudden a red light went on over your desk, and fifteen thousand people stood up and yelled at you that you sucked? – Jacques Plante

128994. And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. – Sylvia Plath
