131656. The work is flowing from an inner knowing of how things really are. – Martin Puryear

131707. Swinging first and swinging to kill is all that matters now. – Ernie Pyle

131708. The American soldier is quick in adapting himself to a new mode of living. Outfits which have been here only three days have dug vast networks of ditches three feet deep in the bare brown earth. They have rigged up a light here and there with a storage battery. – Ernie Pyle

131709. Our artillery has really been sensational. For once we have enough of something and at the right time. Officers tell me they actually have more guns than they know what to do with. – Ernie Pyle

131712. The closest fires were near enough for us to hear the crackling flames and the yells of firemen. Little fires grew into big ones even as we watched. Big ones died down under the firemen’s valor only to break out again later. – Ernie Pyle

131765. There’s no way that I could do a 9 to 5 job. There’s no way. I was not cut out for that. You come in and you work for three months on the one job. They say, ‘Great,’ you know, and you’re on to the next one – and you never even got fired. It’s wonderful. – Dennis Quaid

131766. That’s what is great about what I do, going from one job to the other. – Dennis Quaid

131770. I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I’m used to. – Dennis Quaid

131815. Religious poetry, civic poetry, lyric or dramatic poetry are all categories of man’s expression which are valid only if the endorsement of formal content is valid. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131816. Religious power, which, as I have already said, frequently identifies itself with political power, has always been a protagonist of this bitter struggle, even when it seemingly was neutral. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131817. The antagonism between the poet and the politician has generally been evident in all cultures. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131818. The poet does not fear death, not because he believes in the fantasy of heroes, but because death constantly visits his thoughts and is thus an image of a serene dialogue. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131819. The poet’s spoken discourse often depends on a mystique, on the spiritual freedom that finds itself enslaved on earth. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131820. Thus, the poet’s word is beginning to strike forcefully upon the hearts of all men, while absolute men of letters think that they alone live in the real world. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131821. We wrote verses that condemned us, with no hope of pardon, to the most bitter solitude. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131822. Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131823. The poet’s other readers are the ancient poets, who look upon the freshly written pages from an incorruptible distance. Their poetic forms are permanent, and it is difficult to create new forms which can approach them. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131824. The writer of stories or of novels settles on men and imitates them; he exhausts the possibilities of his characters. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131825. An exact poetic duplication of a man is for the poet a negation of the earth, an impossibility of being, even though his greatest desire is to speak to many men, to unite with them by means of harmonious verses about the truths of the mind or of things. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131826. Poetry is also the physical self of the poet, and it is impossible to separate the poet from his poetry. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131827. A poet clings to his own tradition and avoids internationalism. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131828. The Resistance is a moral certainty, not a poetic one. The true poet never uses words in order to punish someone. His judgment belongs to a creative order; it is not formulated as a prophetic scripture. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131829. After the turbulence of death, moral principles and even religious proofs are called into question. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131831. At the point when continuity was interrupted by the first nuclear explosion, it would have been too easy to recover the formal sediment which linked us with an age of poetic decorum, of a preoccupation with poetic sounds. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131834. From the night, his solitude, the poet finds day and starts a diary that is lethal to the inert. The dark landscape yields a dialogue. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131835. He passes from lyric to epic poetry in order to speak about the world and the torment in the world through man, rationally and emotionally. The poet then becomes a danger. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131836. In opposition to this detachment, he finds an image of man which contains within itself man’s dreams, man’s illness, man’s redemption from the misery of poverty – poverty which can no longer be for him a sign of the acceptance of life. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131837. My readers at that time were still men of letters; but there had to be other people waiting to read my poems. – Salvatore Quasimodo

131843. Rock and roll mainly but I can play passable jazz also. – Suzi Quatro

131844. My feet never touched the ground. Lots of good groups with crazy and unique images. It was wild. I spent all of my time doing gigs, TV appearances, interviews, or recording. I could write a book – and probably will. – Suzi Quatro

131845. Len and I had parted musical ways and this was one of the problems. – Suzi Quatro

131846. I am flattered to have been the woman to have opened the door for female rockers to be accepted into the mainly male industry. – Suzi Quatro

131847. I am busy touring all over Europe, Japan, and Australia. – Suzi Quatro

131848. I also have a big love of classical music played on piano because this is the environment I grew up in my brother being one of the great masters in this world. – Suzi Quatro

131849. As far as more recognition goes, I am happy with the amount of love and respect I have received from other artists and the public. Of course, I would love more, and think I deserve it. – Suzi Quatro

131850. After moving to England I did some recording and eventually formed an English band, this was together for quite a few years with only a keyboard replacement. The band had no name, just my name. – Suzi Quatro

131851. A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up. – Suzi Quatro

131855. And that’s the one thing that people do not understand is that we have very low interest rates and if those go back to historical levels or even go back to scary thoughts that they’re back in the late ’70s, early ’80s, then that’s going to really be hard to actually pay off those debts. It’s going to be a – it’s going to be a very big problem. – Ben Quayle

131860. I think the Tea Party movement is great. I think anybody who has been frustrated over the last few years with the Republicans and Democrats, when they were trying to grow government and have spending and we weren’t focusing on creating jobs and get our private sector growing again, I think that’s when people started to wake up. – Ben Quayle

131861. I think that when we look out with our underfunded liabilities and our national debt over $14 trillion, I think if we are part of that movement to get our government spending under control, I think that would be a tremendous legacy to leave. – Ben Quayle

131862. Barack Obama is the worst president in history. In my generation, we’ll inherit a weakened country, drug cartels in Mexico, tax cartels in D.C. What’s happened to America? I love Arizona. I was raised right. Somebody has to go to Washington and knock the hell out of the place. – Ben Quayle

131863. And in terms of entitlement reforms, we have to save them from themselves, because if we don’t reform social security and we don’t reform Medicare, they’re going to actually implode. – Ben Quayle

131864. Don’t try to be somebody you’re not because it doesn’t work. If you try to be this perfect person or perfect persona of what you think that somebody should be when they’re involved in public office, it’s just not going to work. Just be yourself, stay true to your core values, and really just stay abreast of the issues. – Ben Quayle

131865. Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we think it is infinite. – Dan Quayle

131866. I deserve respect for the things I did not do. – Dan Quayle

131886. For NASA, space is still a high priority. – Dan Quayle

131889. Bobby Knight told me this: ‘There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.’ In other words a good offense wins. – Dan Quayle

131894. The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan Quayle may or may not make. – Dan Quayle

131895. Sometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know if its the way you say it, or how you look. – Dan Quayle

131896. Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child. – Dan Quayle

131904. Let me just be very clear that the Republican Party will select a nominee that will beat Bill Clinton. – Dan Quayle

131905. It isn’t pollution that’s harming the environment. It’s the impurities in our air and water that are doing it. – Dan Quayle

131906. If we don’t succeed we run the risk of failure. – Dan Quayle

131958. All confessions are Odysseys. – Raymond Queneau

131959. All societies are historical. – Raymond Queneau

131960. Fiction has consisted either of placing imaginary characters in a true story, which is the Iliad, or of presenting the story of an individual as having a general historical value, which is the Odyssey. – Raymond Queneau

131961. It doesn’t seem to me that anyone has discovered much that’s new since the Iliad or the Odyssey. – Raymond Queneau

131962. It is the creator of fiction’s point of view; it is the character who interests him. Sometimes he wants to convince the reader that the story he is telling is as interesting as universal history. – Raymond Queneau

131965. The Iliad is the private lives of people thrown into disorder by history. – Raymond Queneau

131966. The Odyssey is the story of someone who, in the course of diverse experiences, acquires a personality or affirms and recovers his personality. – Raymond Queneau

131968. To have one’s own story told by a third party who doesn’t know that the character in question is himself the hero of the story being told, that’s a technical refinement. – Raymond Queneau

131969. Ulysses finds himself unchanged, aside from his experience, at the end of his odyssey. – Raymond Queneau

131970. We have gotten away from this double aspect of either putting the character back into historical events or of making a historical event of his very life. – Raymond Queneau

131971. When Ulysses hears his own story sung by an epic poet and then he reveals his identity and the poet wants to continue singing, Ulysses isn’t interested any longer. That’s very astonishing. – Raymond Queneau

131972. Religions tend to disappear with man’s good fortune. – Raymond Queneau

131973. Without that sense of security which property gives, the land would still be uncultivated. – Francois Quesnay

131974. The truth only irritates those it enlightens, but does not convert. – Pasquier Quesnel

131975. Zeal is very blind, or badly regulated, when it encroaches upon the rights of others. – Pasquier Quesnel

131976. Politics is the art of postponing decisions until they are no longer relevant. – Henri Queuille

131977. In short, not only are things not what they seem, they are not even what they are called! – Francisco de Quevedo

131978. So long as peace is not attained by law (so argue the advocates of armaments) the military protection of a country must not be undermined, and until such is the case disarmament is impossible. – Ludwig Quidde

131979. Some pacifists have carried the sound idea of the prime importance of security too far, to the point of declaring that any consideration of disarmament is superfluous and pointless as long as eternal peace has not been attained. – Ludwig Quidde

131980. The following year, after I had prepared my draft, the Conference of the Interparliamentary Union at The Hague decided to set up a special commission to study the problem seriously. – Ludwig Quidde

131981. When distrust exists between governments, when there is a danger of war, they will not be willing to disarm even when logic indicates that disarmament would not affect military security at all. – Ludwig Quidde

131982. We pacifists have not ceased to point to the grave danger of armaments and to insist on their curtailment. – Ludwig Quidde

131983. Thus, if armaments were curtailed without a secure peace and all countries disarmed proportionately, military security would have been in no way affected. – Ludwig Quidde

131984. The security of which we speak is to be attained by the development of international law through an international organization based on the principles of law and justice. – Ludwig Quidde

131985. The relationship of the two problems is rather the reverse. To a great extent disarmament is dependent on guarantees of peace. Security comes first and disarmament second. – Ludwig Quidde

131986. The popular, and one may say naive, idea is that peace can be secured by disarmament and that disarmament must therefore precede the attainment of absolute security and lasting peace. – Ludwig Quidde

131987. Pacifist propaganda and the resolutions of the parliamentarians encouraged such treaties, and toward the end of the nineteenth century their number had increased considerably. – Ludwig Quidde

131988. Limitation of armaments in itself is economically and financially important quite apart from security. – Ludwig Quidde

131989. Lightly armed nations can move toward war just as easily as those which are armed to the teeth, and they will do so if the usual causes of war are not removed. – Ludwig Quidde

131990. Even a total and universal disarmament does not guarantee the maintenance of peace. – Ludwig Quidde

131991. Among pacifists it was above all the English who always insisted on the importance of disarmament. They said that the man in the street would not understand the kind of pacifism that neglected to demand immediate restriction of armaments. – Ludwig Quidde

131992. The present level of armaments could be taken as the starting point. It could be stipulated in an international treaty that these armaments should be simultaneously and uniformly reduced by a certain proportion in all countries. – Ludwig Quidde

131993. Disarmament or limitation of armaments, which depends on the progress made on security, also contributes to the maintenance of peace. – Ludwig Quidde

131994. Let us assume that the ideal were reached; let us imagine a state of international life in which the danger of war no longer exists. Then no one would dare to demand a penny for obviously completely superfluous armaments. – Ludwig Quidde

131995. Every success in limiting armaments is a sign that the will to achieve mutual understanding exists, and every such success thus supports the fight for international law and order. – Ludwig Quidde

131996. Great progress was made when arbitration treaties were concluded in which the contracting powers pledge in advance to submit all conflicts to an arbitration court, treaties which not only specify the composition of the court, but also its procedure. – Ludwig Quidde

131997. I am convinced that when the history of international law comes to be written centuries hence, it will be divided into two periods: the first being from the earliest times to the end of the nineteenth century, and the second beginning with the Hague Conference. – Ludwig Quidde

131998. In life, particularly in public life, psychology is more powerful than logic. – Ludwig Quidde

131999. It will be sufficient to point to the enormous burdens which armaments place on the economic, social, and intellectual resources of a nation, as well as on its budget and taxes. – Ludwig Quidde

132000. Armaments are necessary – or are maintained on the pretext of necessity – because of a real or an imagined danger of war. – Ludwig Quidde
