134209. We do not want to live in a theocracy. We should maintain that barrier and government has no business telling someone what they ought to believe or how they should conduct their private lives. – Robert Reich

134210. You can’t create a political movement out of pabulum. – Robert Reich

134211. You can’t inspire people if you are going to be uninspiring. – Robert Reich

134222. The few bad poems which occasionally are created during abstinence are of no great interest. – Wilhelm Reich

134225. Only the liberation of the natural capacity for love in human beings can master their sadistic destructiveness. – Wilhelm Reich

134226. Most intellectual people do not believe in God, but they fear him just the same. – Wilhelm Reich

134227. I believe that the freedom of speech should be protected, but so should a family’s right to privacy as they grieve their loss. There is a time and a place for vigorous debate on the War on Terror, but during a family’s last goodbye is not it. – Dave Reichert

134228. I believe that everyone can appreciate the right of a family to grieve the loss of a loved one in peace, regardless of anyone’s position on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. – Dave Reichert

134230. I came to Congress to help reduce spending. – Dave Reichert

134231. Gang violence in America is not a sudden problem. It has been a part of urban life for years, offering an aggressive definition and identity to those seeking a place to belong in the chaos of large metropolitan areas. – Dave Reichert

134232. I have faith the men and women of the Coast Guard will immediately rise to the challenge and see the people hit by Katrina through until the storm has truly calmed. – Dave Reichert

134233. Going forward, as we work to strengthen our border in the interests of homeland security, we must also recognize the economic importance of immigration reform. – Dave Reichert

134240. In Washington State, the immigrant population has grown by 42 percent in the five years between 2000 and 2005 – which is an increase from 8 percent to 10.6 percent of the overall population – and the jobless rate in the state has hit a 6 year low. – Dave Reichert

134241. Increased and better screening for explosives is necessary – and Congress should fund it and TSA should implement it as quickly as possible – however that screening doesn’t reduce the risk posed by a trained terrorist with an unconventional weapon. – Dave Reichert

134242. It is vitally important that we implement immigration reform. We need a bill that strengthens our borders and protects this nation, but that also makes it simpler for good people to become Americans. – Dave Reichert

134243. It’s basic due diligence to make sure that whenever a foreign entity acquires a controlling interest in a U.S. company that national security isn’t threatened. – Dave Reichert

134244. One in seven Americans, including more than 8 million children, does not have even basic healthcare coverage. – Dave Reichert

134245. While some sit on the sidelines and fail to offer any practical solutions to address high gas prices now, the House is once again taking action to meet the energy needs of the American people. – Dave Reichert

134246. Today, we realize there are those actively seeking to harm us, to destroy our infrastructure and take lives. – Dave Reichert

134247. The men and women who make up a plane’s crew put their lives in jeopardy each time they fly. It’s our job as much as anyone’s to make sure we make it as safe as possible up there for them. – Dave Reichert

134248. We must make every effort to neutralize this threat peacefully, but be ever mindful of the growing danger Iran poses not just to a safe and free America, but to our allies abroad. – Dave Reichert

134249. While port security remains one of our single greatest vulnerabilities, it makes little sense to give operational control of our ports to a foreign nation without first doing proper investigations. – Dave Reichert

134250. Scissors, screwdrivers and the like pose an unacceptable risk to flight crews as well passengers. – Dave Reichert

134251. I think it would take a real stretch to think that I caused the problems with the economy. – Harry Reid

134252. So the next thing I assume I’ll be hearing from Republicans, they want to change rules some way, as they do on the House when you get a problem with ethics, they just change the rules. – Harry Reid

134253. I can’t stand John McCain. – Harry Reid

134254. I was born and raised in the high desert of Nevada in a tiny town called Searchlight. My dad was a hard rock miner. My mom took in wash. I grew up around people of strong values – even if they rarely talked about them. – Harry Reid

134255. It’s time that America’s government lived by the same values as America’s families. It’s time we invested in America’s future and made sure our people have the skills to compete and thrive in a 21st century economy. That’s what Democrats believe. – Harry Reid

134256. This 21st century economy holds great promise for our people. But unless we give all Americans the skills they need to succeed, countries like India and China will take good-paying jobs that should be ours. – Harry Reid

134257. There’s a lot we can do to improve American’s retirement security, but it’s wrong to replace the guaranteed benefit that Americans have earned with a guaranteed benefit cut of forty percent or more. – Harry Reid

134258. The American people do not like privatization. They are afraid of the debt the president’s willing to do. And they don’t like benefit cuts. And everyone here should understand all 45 Senate Democrats are united. We are not going to let this happen. – Harry Reid

134259. I am convinced that I do not want to give up more power to the White House, whether it’s George Bush or Barack Obama. And I’m going to fight as hard as I can against President Obama on these earmarks and my Republican colleagues who hate to vote for them, but love to get them. – Harry Reid

134260. My Republican friends are lamenting reconciliation. But I would recommend for them to go back and look at history. – Harry Reid

134261. Now that our troops are mired in a dangerous effort to defeat the insurgency and are also trying to help rebuild the country, Americans of all political persuasions simply want the United States to succeed and our troops to be as safe as possible. – Harry Reid

134262. We found ourselves in a hole that I didn’t dig, but I have dug, dug and dug to try to get out of that hole. – Harry Reid

134263. People in Nevada know me from the street to the ring to the Senate chambers. I’ve never had to prove my manhood to anyone. – Harry Reid

134264. So people have been hurting and I understand that. And it doesn’t give them comfort or solace for me to tell them, you know, but for me, we would be in a worldwide depression. – Harry Reid

134265. Why is partying and having a good time bad? – Tara Reid

134266. I can make a scene that’s not supposed to be sexy, very sexy. It’s a power you’re born with. It’s not a physical thing, it comes from inside. It’s all in the eyes. – Tara Reid

134267. I just couldn’t live without dogs. – Tara Reid

134268. I just started making Bloody Marys. I always thought they looked gross, then I tasted one. There’s an art to it, from the Tabasco to the Worcestershire. – Tara Reid

134269. I’m more of a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. – Tara Reid

134270. I’m not perfect, I do drink. I do smoke. Carson Daly can’t go out and get messed up, he can’t smoke in front of kids – he’s the face of MTV, and he has to be good. But me? I can. – Tara Reid

134271. There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words. – Thomas Reid

134272. It is a question of fact, whether the influence of motives be fixed by laws of nature, so that they shall always have the same effect in the same circumstances. – Thomas Reid

134273. Every indication of wisdom, taken from the effect, is equally an indication of power to execute what wisdom planned. – Thomas Reid

134274. But when, in the first setting out, he takes it for granted without proof, that distinctions found in the structure of all languages, have no foundation in nature; this surely is too fastidious a way of treating the common sense of mankind. – Thomas Reid

134275. And, if we have any evidence that the wisdom which formed the plan is in the man, we have the very same evidence, that the power which executed it is in him also. – Thomas Reid

134276. A philosopher is, no doubt, entitled to examine even those distinctions that are to be found in the structure of all languages… in that case, such a distinction may be imputed to a vulgar error, which ought to be corrected in philosophy. – Thomas Reid

134277. The rules of navigation never navigated a ship. The rules of architecture never built a house. – Thomas Reid

134278. Ninety percent of the time, you’re going to hear no. It took me seven years to make ‘Once Upon a Time… When We Were Colored.’ Nobody wanted to see the movie made. I got the movie made. – Tim Reid

134279. Just having hope ain’t going to cut it. You’ve got to have hope, passion and skills. – Tim Reid

134280. A film should be an experience. You should feel something. It should motivate you to feel something. – Tim Reid

134281. When the media defines something, you have to question: Is it the definition that you want applied to your culture? I’m trying to determine who’s leaving the legacy, and if the legacy that is being left is a positive one. – Tim Reid

134282. Young kids are taking Viagra, ecstasy. They even want instant sex. – Tim Reid

134283. Why would you create a movie for black people if you don’t understand the history and perspective of the people you are doing it for? You need historical perspective to make sound decisions. – Tim Reid

134284. The business is so upside down now. It’s not just about the bling-bling. – Tim Reid

134285. Black people don’t even question things any more, they simply follow the lead. – Tim Reid

134286. How did we suddenly become entranced with gangster culture? I saw it this morning on campus. When did the black community say we should all look like criminals? – Tim Reid

134287. The lover is a monotheist who knows that other people worship different gods but cannot himself imagine that there could be other gods. – Theodor Reik

134288. Work and love; these are the basics. Without them there is neurosis. – Theodor Reik

134289. We are all in a race for dear life: that is to say, we are fugitives from death. – Theodor Reik

134290. The repressed memory is like a noisy intruder being thrown out of the concert hall. You can throw him out, but he will bang on the door and continue to disturb the concert. The analyst opens the door and says, If you promise to behave yourself, you can come back in. – Theodor Reik

134291. The man who has never made a fool of himself in love will never be wise in love. – Theodor Reik

134292. In our civilization, men are afraid that they will not be men enough and women are afraid that they might be considered only women. – Theodor Reik

134297. The thing that’s funny is that everyone thinks I’m dead. – Charles Nelson Reilly

134298. You were there all day long, 12 hours a day. So there was none of this, ‘I’m going back to my trailer, my trailer’s bigger than your trailer,’ that kind of Hollywood nonsense. – John C. Reilly

134299. This is real human drama, we’re not creating some amusement park ride for the summer. Even though the movie is really exciting to watch, it’s got a real pathos behind it. – John C. Reilly

134300. There’s something about the water – that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You’re on Earth but not quite. – John C. Reilly

134301. One of the unique things is that whether we were out at sea or in the middle of the water tank, a lot of times you just couldn’t leave. Especially when we were out at sea. – John C. Reilly

134302. Oh, absolutely, it felt more serious than your typical job. One of the things that got us through how difficult the shooting actually was was that we are telling a real story. – John C. Reilly

134303. I try to take things that challenge me either physically or mentally, or I have to learn a new skill. – John C. Reilly

134304. God forbid you got seasick because there was no option to go back. So that really did force us to be a group. – John C. Reilly

134312. Everybody wants to laugh – you know that. They need to laugh… people need to laugh. – Carl Reiner

134313. I think that comedy really tells you how it is. The other thing about comedy is that – you don’t even know if you’re failing in drama, but you do know when you’re failing in comedy. When you go to a comedy and you don’t hear anybody laughing, you know that you’ve failed. – Carl Reiner

134314. A fellow who has a funny bone can learn to hone his skills, but I don’t think you can develop a funny bone – you either have it or you don’t. And by the way – when you get it, we don’t know it. – Carl Reiner

134315. I know how sobering and exhausting parenthood is. But the reality is that our children’s future depends on us as parents. Because we know that the first years truly last forever. – Rob Reiner

134316. We agreed that we cannot let personal political attacks get in the way of doing the very best we can for California’s children. – Rob Reiner

134317. Something is wrong here, and it’s more than easy access to guns or violence on TV. It’s about lack of love and attachment to loving people early in life. – Rob Reiner

134318. People can be ignorant and still have loving, human qualities. – Rob Reiner

134319. It’s a very slow process – two steps forward, one step back – but I’m inching in the right direction. – Rob Reiner

134320. I like writing because you can make things happen and turn out the way they never do in real life. – Rob Reiner

134321. Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that’s a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect. – Rob Reiner

134322. Every single person in jail for a violent crime had a nightmare childhood. – Rob Reiner

134323. I think Jews are the smartest people in the world. – Rob Reiner

134324. In 1956 we observed the electron antineutrino. – Frederick Reines

134326. Over the years, a number of other intriguing experimental ideas and areas of investigation have been the objects of my attention, and I have devoted some time and effort to exploring the inherent possbilities. – Frederick Reines

134327. Our home had many books due principally to the educational interests of my sister and two brothers, all of whom where serious students engaged in professional studies; my sister became a doctor of medicine and my brothers became lawyers. – Frederick Reines

134334. During my participation in the Manhattan Project and subsequent research at Los Alamos, encompassing a period of fifteen years, I worked in the company of perhaps the greatest collection of scientific talent the world has ever known. – Frederick Reines

134335. Among my activities was membership in the Boy Scouts; I rose each year through the ranks, eventually achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and undertaking leadership roles in the organization. – Frederick Reines

134337. I was strongly encouraged by a science teacher who took an interest in me and presented me with a key to the laboratory to allow me to work whenever I wanted. – Frederick Reines

134338. Now almost every artist outside of New York is connected with some school or some museum school, and even in New York the majority are. That’s an interesting fact when you take the idea of making money, making a living selling paintings. Only a dozen or two painters do that. – Ad Reinhardt

134339. Only a bad artist thinks he has a good idea. A good artist does not need anything. – Ad Reinhardt

134340. If some student came up and wanted to know where to study painting, you’d want to suggest someplace, but there’s no place. I wouldn’t know where to send a student to study. – Ad Reinhardt

134341. I taught a lot of art history, especially Chinese, Japanese, and Indian. But the painting classes came back. The nudes came back. Not so much the still lifes. So now our department is the worst department, partly because it has the worst facilities. – Ad Reinhardt

134342. Art is too serious to be taken seriously. – Ad Reinhardt

134343. Art is Art. Everything else is everything else. – Ad Reinhardt

134344. The job at Brooklyn is interesting because Brooklyn reflects what happened to university art departments everywhere. It might be the worst department now, and yet at one point it was the best in the country. – Ad Reinhardt

134345. I tried to oppose the academic to the marketplace. – Ad Reinhardt

134346. If I were to categorize what I sing, I have many different influences, and a lot of them are from back in time. – Haley Reinhart

134347. If my life had to be a song I would name it, ‘Live every day like its your best day ever’, because it pretty much is. – Haley Reinhart

134348. I love classic rock, rock and roll, that’s the top notch. I love soul – bluesy music as well. – Haley Reinhart

134349. I definitely I prefer to sing in the car. I don’t sing in the shower, maybe its because that’s the one time I don’t need to talk to anyone so I should just shut up, otherwise I’m just, you know, jibber jabber. – Haley Reinhart

134350. First thing I did when I found out I made it into the top 13 is I tried not to faint and you know, I took it all in and I really looked at the crowd and said a big ‘thank you’. – Haley Reinhart

134352. My first sex scene – and it was with myself. – Judge Reinhold

134355. There’s no term to the work of a scientist. – Walter Reisch

134356. This I know; the spirit of Man cannot be stopped. – Walter Reisch

134357. Tired minds don’t plan well. Sleep first, plan later. – Walter Reisch

134358. A scientist who cannot prove what he has accomplished, has accomplished nothing. – Walter Reisch

134359. Don’t you see what’s at stake here? The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet. – Walter Reisch

134360. I don’t sleep. I hate those little slices of death. – Walter Reisch

134361. We have such a long, familiar history with Peter Falk. The minute his mug is on that screen people smile. – Paul Reiser

134362. In the original draft I was 27 and Peter was 55 in the script. That’s not the same as a guy in his 40s and a dad in the end of his 70s. It’s a different point in both our lives. – Paul Reiser

134363. It’s not like some movies where you’re following a bunch of different stories you can cut around. There was nowhere to cut to. It’s these guys. We’re not cutting back to anybody else. – Paul Reiser

134364. Not only do I sing to him, I sing entire conversations. You become Jerry Lewis. – Paul Reiser

134365. She kind of reminds one of Helen. There’s something very similar about Elizabeth Perkins. – Paul Reiser

134366. There’s something that happens in that delivery room, when a woman becomes ten times more a woman, and a guy becomes six times less a man. You feel really dopey and useless and like a spectator. I did, anyway. – Paul Reiser

134367. They’re not the sharpest people – babies. So, you must be everything to them. – Paul Reiser

134368. This is not the most right I’ve ever been. – Paul Reiser

134369. In fact, I had the idea because of Peter Falk. I saw my dad watching a Peter Falk movie and something clicked in my head. I gotta go make a movie for Peter Falk and me. – Paul Reiser

134370. We had the boy’s name picked out, but we didn’t have a girl’s. When he turned out to be a boy, we were so relieved. Literally, in the middle of contracting and pushing, and with my wife being drugged – out and half – lucid, we were still coming up with names. – Paul Reiser

134371. Nothing would make me happier if Peter Falk would finally win his Oscar for this. Not just as the writer but as a fan and a friend. It would be so great. – Paul Reiser

134372. We made this movie for $17, and nobody got anything. So it never dawned on me that we would get real people. – Paul Reiser

134373. Upstate New York in the middle of October. You can’t get more beautiful than that. – Paul Reiser

134374. And in that time, I lost my dad and had kids of my own. It was like, OK, I get it now. I know what fatherhood is all about. And you look at your parents differently. – Paul Reiser

134375. I’d distract myself until finally it was a combination of things. The show was over and I had time on my hands. I had taken time and played and just relaxed. – Paul Reiser

134376. I remember my wife and I used to get on plane and see everybody else with their babies. They’d be putting strollers and car seats up above, and we’d think: Oh, please Lord, don’t make us go through that. – Paul Reiser

134377. He was born early. But he was born within a safe range of premature. – Paul Reiser

134379. Having a baby dragged me, kicking and screaming, from the world of self-absorption. – Paul Reiser

134380. Field of Dreams is the only movie – and I saw it in the theater – on an afternoon when I was on location somewhere, and there were like 12 people in the theater. I was just so devastated; I couldn’t get out of my seat. And I sat and watched it a second time. – Paul Reiser

134381. Every time I see Peter Falk in the movie I think that would be great. We’d be fun together. – Paul Reiser

134382. But you get past that and realize you have to let go of what you think you want. There’ll be plenty of time for that later. Right now, go and be with that baby. Just play with this beautiful little boy. – Paul Reiser

134383. But the two of them together, broke my heart. Olympia and Peter, those scenes… When they’re kissing in their 20s and then kissing in their 70s, that’s what it is. And they had never met five minutes before they shot those scenes. – Paul Reiser

134384. But I really felt that, something about the lights going down, and the sense of community. I saw this movie at one festival, and there were 1700 people. – Paul Reiser

134385. But at the same time that the experience is pulling you apart, it’s also bonding you. You have this joint venture! You both made this baby. And that’s the thing I still can’t get over. – Paul Reiser

134386. I’d never directed before and this movie’s too important to me to put in the hands of some guy who has never directed. Even if it’s me. – Paul Reiser

134387. The biggest thing I remember is that there was just no transition. You hit the ground diapering. – Paul Reiser

134388. Whoever claims that economic competition represents ‘survival of the fittest’ in the sense of the law of the jungle, provides the clearest possible evidence of his lack of knowledge of economics. – George Reisman

134389. The slaves of socialism are slaves, but they are no one’s property and therefore no one’s loss. – George Reisman

134390. Under capitalism each individual engages in economic planning. – George Reisman

134391. So the president set out the policy guidance and said it had to take place in a multilateral fashion so that other countries in the region could be invested in the success of this process. – Mitchell Reiss

134392. We have a model that we’re following, and it’s the Libya model. – Mitchell Reiss

134393. You have to play the cards you are dealt and if it has made it harder, it doesn’t matter, you still have to get the deal done. – Mitchell Reiss

134394. You are either going forward or you are not. – Mitchell Reiss

134395. We need to do a lot more thinking about how the regime is going to evolve, how the bad guys are going to adapt their tactics, and what measures we’re going to need in order to go forward. – Mitchell Reiss

134396. We are hopeful that the North Koreans can show a little bit more realism, a little bit more flexibility. – Mitchell Reiss

134397. There is a different future that is available to North Korea, if they choose differently. – Mitchell Reiss

134398. The other countries did not share the same concern the United States had in the early ’90’s – that North Korea actually had an ongoing nuclear weapons program. – Mitchell Reiss

134399. The nexus between terrorism and nuclear weapons, or even nuclear material, is obviously a current concern. – Mitchell Reiss

134400. The format’s better because it gives us a much stronger hand to play when going to the North Koreans unified, with our allies and partners in the region, all of us saying the same thing: telling them their current course is unacceptable. – Mitchell Reiss

134401. Sometimes we tend to focus more on the personalities and the conflicts, and it really caricatures the issues. – Mitchell Reiss

134402. So, in a sense, the verification piece is irrelevant to the format issue. – Mitchell Reiss

134403. But with lots of good ideas, implementation is the key, and so we need to keep our eye on the ball as we go forward and make sure that people honor their pledges in terms of financial commitments, and that we actually use this money so that it makes a real difference. – Mitchell Reiss

134404. Now North Korea certainly is located in a different place geographically, but I think it faces the same type of strategic decision. Does it want a different future for its people? – Mitchell Reiss

134405. And it has to do with having no inventory or stockpiles on the shelf, but items arrive as you need to build your product. What that means is that it’s much more difficult to actually find stockpiles of already built weapons. – Mitchell Reiss

134406. And so there has been a lot of diplomatic movement. – Mitchell Reiss

134407. What we can do is to explain as clearly as possible what the benefits would be of him going down one path, and what the potential consequences would be if he chooses another path. – Mitchell Reiss

134408. Again, I think we have much greater diplomatic weight by having all of us sit on the same side of the table wanting the same thing, and putting it to the North Koreans. – Mitchell Reiss

134409. Everyone I have spoken with so far recognises the need for the IRA to respond positively and every has said sooner is better than later and I think there is some concern if it does continue to delay much longer that the situation isn’t going to remain the same. – Mitchell Reiss

134410. First of all we have to recognize that despite all the problems – and in some cases failures – that this regime has been much more successful, much more resilient, than people had anticipated. – Mitchell Reiss

134411. First of all, I think the situation today is different. We’re in a different place than we were in ’93, ’94. – Mitchell Reiss

134412. I’m not sure you can do anything quickly or easily with the North. – Mitchell Reiss

134413. It’s time for the IRA to go out of business. – Mitchell Reiss

134414. It’s up to Kim Jong Il to make that decision, and we can’t make that for him. – Mitchell Reiss

134415. Any agreement that you have isn’t going to be based on North Korea’s intentions or trust. – Mitchell Reiss

134416. I will only speak off the record about Debra Winger. – Karel Reisz

134417. I’m now beginning to feel that the pessimistic vision is not for the movies. – Karel Reisz

134418. There’s a great danger in making this seem more important than it is, this whole Free Cinema thing. – Karel Reisz

134419. The British cinema had been very dull and conformist. – Karel Reisz

134420. I said I would do all the films about the commercials, and the films about ball-bearings and Ford tractors and so on, if once a year they gave me money for a free film. – Karel Reisz

134421. Heroism in a bad cause. – Karel Reisz

134422. A style is not a matter of camera angles or fancy footwork, it’s an expression, an accurate expression of your particular opinion. – Karel Reisz

134423. A big element of what they regard as conformity is simply a desire to have an audience. – Karel Reisz

134424. Minority views expressed in films simply don’t sell tickets. – Karel Reisz

134425. The home viewing experience is slightly different and there’s room for these kinds of extra excursions. – Ivan Reitman

134426. When you have a performer as talented as Bill Murray or as Harold, that can write as well as they can perform, you can do a final draft on the set if you think of it that way. – Ivan Reitman

134427. In a comedy it helps enhance things that were already there. – Ivan Reitman

134428. In many ways, I think that, while we’ve been remarkably violent in our media, there’s been a real schizophrenia. In private, on the Internet, and on public-affairs shows or talk radio, we’re way more explicit than we’ve ever been. – Ivan Reitman

134429. It’s been about 15 years, and I’ve never really worked seriously in CGI and I thought that here was an opportunity to do the kinds of things that I was not able to do on Ghostbusters. – Ivan Reitman

134430. It’s sort of the most important thing for acting, is to listen to the person you’re dealing with. – Ivan Reitman

134431. Movies either work or they don’t work and they’re either funny or they’re not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching. – Ivan Reitman

134432. My sense is, I think it’s okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career. – Ivan Reitman

134433. I remember when first, Stripes, and then Animal House came out – which I was really proud of, even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous – there were imitative movies that were not quite as good. – Ivan Reitman

134434. Then my first film was something called Cannibal Girls, which sounds like a horror movie but was actually kind of a goofy comedy with horror elements. Like a horror spoof. – Ivan Reitman

134435. We got some devastating reviews on Animal House at the start. – Ivan Reitman

134436. Well, actually, I did start out in comedies. Very, very early. – Ivan Reitman

134437. I’ve always believed in populating my films with characters who we like, who we have some warmth for, who have warmth for each other, who we would like to hang out with, who we emulate in one way or another. – Ivan Reitman

134438. My first student film was Orientation, which was basically the set-up for Animal House. There are a couple of scenes that we later borrowed in some form. – Ivan Reitman

134439. I always see things that I can improve. But frankly with Stripes, I’m surprised at how effective it is, even today, and how vibrant that movie is and how juicy the performances all are. – Ivan Reitman

134440. I’d always been a science fiction enthusiast. – Ivan Reitman

134441. I’ve always been a fan of science fiction films, and I’ve never been able to put my particular spin on it. – Ivan Reitman

134442. A good actor is someone who knows how to take the part and make it real and make it honest and be effective in it. If it’s in a funny movie and, as long as they are cast in an appropriate way, humor will come from it. – Ivan Reitman

134443. Everybody says how hard comedy is, but, when it comes time to honor things, whether it’s on a weekly critical basis or whether it’s award time, at that time of the year, comedy is the poor, dumb child of dramatic work. – Ivan Reitman

134444. I always thought that Bill Murray was one of the great actors that I’ve worked with. And I’ve worked with all kinds of people who are known primarily for their dramatic work. – Ivan Reitman

134445. I call it like the domino theory of reality. If you can go one step at a time and it seems to make sense, you can then take your audience into an area that is relatively outlandish. – Ivan Reitman

134446. I don’t think my sense of humor has changed at all; I was born with this, for better or for worse. – Ivan Reitman

134447. I don’t think there will be another Ghostbusters. I think we’re all too old to do it. I think we’ve done it a couple times and there is not that much to get out of it, to do that would be fresh in it. – Ivan Reitman

134448. I love horror and sci-fi. – Ivan Reitman

134449. I never like to do parodies. I never do. It’s just not my style of comedy. – Ivan Reitman

134450. I think Junior is certainly a science fiction premise as is Twins, as is Dave, beyond Ghostbusters. – Ivan Reitman

134451. I’m not sure I agree with the thesis, because I think that even though something grotesque or gross has been part of film since way back, what we accept or what we can get away with on the screen is broader now. – Ivan Reitman

134452. Also watching a movie on DVD is different than watching it in the theater. – Ivan Reitman

134453. At the end of the day, the goals are simple: safety and security. – Jodi Rell

134454. The easy way out is to approve an early retirement plan one year but not pay out sick and vacation time to deserving employees until three years later. Unfortunately, later is now. – Jodi Rell

134455. We have the incredible privilege of serving in the highest offices in the state. We must prove ourselves worthy of our fellow citizens’ faith. We must be trusted to always place the public’s good above our own and to always choose fairness over favoritism. – Jodi Rell

134456. We continue to fight for good jobs that pay well and jobs that last. Helping to get folks back to work is about helping them to regain their dignity and pride. That’s what families care about. – Jodi Rell

134457. We cannot put off the difficult decisions for another day, another generation. – Jodi Rell

134458. This continuing spike in gas prices is bad for consumers, bad for our economy, and bad for all other businesses. It is hurting us and costing us jobs. – Jodi Rell

134459. The best math lesson we can teach college students this year is to subtract a tuition increase and benefit from the dividends of higher education. – Jodi Rell

134460. Our libraries are valuable centers of education, learning and enrichment for people of all ages. In recent years, libraries have taken on an increasingly important role. today’s libraries are about much more than books. – Jodi Rell

134461. Managers, regardless of salary, should not be allowed to earn or use comp time. They are expected to work as many hours as needed to get the job done – especially at these salary levels. – Jodi Rell

134462. I’m angry when we have to use state dollars to fill holes in our low-income heating assistance program because there isn’t enough support from Washington. – Jodi Rell

134463. I have been unexpectedly confronted with my own mortality as I was told that I had cancer. – Jodi Rell

134464. I have kept a steady focus on restoring public faith in our state government since taking office July 1. Now it is time to make even bigger and bolder gains through legislative action. – Jodi Rell

134465. We want to live at any price; so we cannot burden ourselves with feelings which, though they might be ornamental enough in peace-time, would be out of place here. – Erich Maria Remarque

134466. They are more human and more brotherly towards one another, it seems to me, than we are. But perhaps that is merely because they feel themselves to be more unfortunate than us. – Erich Maria Remarque

134467. The crowd, still shouting, gives way before us. We plough our way through. Women hold their aprons over their faces and go stumbling away. A roar of fury goes up. A wounded man is being carried off. – Erich Maria Remarque

134468. The later it gets the more disturbed the city becomes. I go with Albert through the streets. Men are standing in groups at every corner. Rumours are flying. It is said that the military have already fired on a procession of demonstrating workers. – Erich Maria Remarque

134469. I am often on guard over the Russians. In the darkness one sees their forms move like stick storks, like great birds. They come close up to the wire fence and lean their faces against it. Their fingers hook round the mesh. – Erich Maria Remarque

134470. Anyway the war is over so far as they are concerned. But to wait for dysentery is not much of a life either. – Erich Maria Remarque

134471. A hospital alone shows what war is. – Erich Maria Remarque

134472. Any non-commissioned officer is more of an enemy to a recruit, any schoolmaster to a pupil, then they are if they were free. – Erich Maria Remarque

134473. On the steps is a machine-gun ready for action. The square is empty; only the streets that lead into it are jammed with people. It would be madness to go farther – the machine-gun is covering the square. – Erich Maria Remarque

134474. Breasts and bottoms look boringly alike. Faces, though, can be quite different and a damn sight more interesting! – Lee Remick

134475. I make movies for grownups. When Hollywood starts making them again, I’ll start acting in them again. – Lee Remick

134476. I’m not an oddball. – Lee Remick

134477. You can compare me with Greta Garbo. I have big feet, too. – Lee Remick

134478. I knew the wild riders and the vacant land were about to vanish forever… and the more I considered the subject, the bigger the forever loomed. Without knowing how to do it, I began to record some facts around me, and the more I looked the more the panorama unfolded. – Frederic Remington

134479. I’ve always had a show that went seven episodes or 13 episodes or whatever. And I’ve never had a show that’s gone past a first season. It really is a lot of work. – Leah Remini

134480. There’s a lot involved in going to the bathroom for women. – Leah Remini

134481. The guy has to kill the spider and get the dead mouse outta the pool. – Leah Remini

134482. It keeps you grounded, you lead a regular life and you appreciate things more. – Leah Remini

134483. I love men who know when to put their foot down and when not to. – Leah Remini

134484. I applaud my mother now for getting me through that time and making me believe in myself. – Leah Remini

134485. But inside, I’m going, ‘Oh my God, is my zipper up? Do I have a booger in my nose?’ That’s my inner monologue. – Leah Remini

134486. Are you trying to give me a hint that I should drop it? I can lose the accent; I just have to really focus on what I’m saying. And I have to talk slowly. – Leah Remini

134487. Men stop trying after a while and get lazy. – Leah Remini

134488. 98% of the people who get the magazine say they read the cartoons first – and the other 2% are lying. – David Remnick

134489. You may take great comfort from the fact that suffering inwardly for the sake of truth proves abundantly that one loves it and marks one out as being of the elect. – Ernest Renan

134490. Our opinions become fixed at the point where we stop thinking. – Ernest Renan

134491. Religion is not a popular error; it is a great instinctive truth, sensed by the people, expressed by the people. – Ernest Renan

134492. The greatest men of a nation are those it puts to death. – Ernest Renan

134493. The liberty of the individual is a necessary postulate of human progress. – Ernest Renan

134494. The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life. – Ernest Renan

134495. When people complain of life, it is almost always because they have asked impossible things of it. – Ernest Renan

134496. In morals, truth is but little prized when it is a mere sentiment, and only attains its full value when realized in the world as fact. – Ernest Renan

134497. No idea can succeed except at the expense of sacrifice; no one ever escapes without enduring strain from the struggle of life. – Ernest Renan

134498. To conceive the good, in fact, is not sufficient; it must be made to succeed among men. To accomplish this less pure paths must be followed. – Ernest Renan

134499. As a rule, all heroism is due to a lack of reflection, and thus it is necessary to maintain a mass of imbeciles. If they once understand themselves the ruling men will be lost. – Ernest Renan

134507. I can die when I wish to: that is my elixir of life. – Ernest Renan

134508. Let us remember that sorrow alone is the creator of great things. – Ernest Renan

134515. The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat. – Jules Renard

134516. Talent is a matter of quantity. Talent does not write on page, it writes three hundred. – Jules Renard

134517. The reward of great men is that, long after they have died, one is not quite sure that they are dead. – Jules Renard

134518. The story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it, and copy it. – Jules Renard

134526. There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire. – Jules Renard

134556. Miss Searle had always considered boredom an intellectual defeat. – Mary Renault

134559. I have said consistently both in my papers and in my speeches – which you heard in the primary campaign – that I will continue to phase out the Capital Stock and Franchise tax. – Ed Rendell

134560. I’m interested in giving business an opportunity by improving the tax environment to invest and grow with Pennsylvania, to expand and put more money in capital investment and creating jobs. – Ed Rendell

134561. I think a moratorium probably is legal, and we should probably for a short period of time impose a moratorium so that we don’t permit any additional landfill permits for the time being, so we don’t exacerbate the problem. – Ed Rendell

134562. Tourism is our second biggest industry in terms of the people it employs. – Ed Rendell

134563. I think if we’re going to have to landfill trash, and I think we basically have to, we might as well get the upside for it and dedicate that upside to improving the environment in so many different ways. – Ed Rendell

134564. There are a tremendous amount of environmental issues that are on the table. – Ed Rendell

134565. Growing Greener doesn’t produce money for farmland preservation or open space preservation. – Ed Rendell

134566. One of the things that people don’t realize is that that natural beauty, those recreational forests, they have an economic development impact for the state as well. – Ed Rendell

134567. Number one I think we should impose a fee or a tax on the transportation of trash per mile. – Ed Rendell

134568. Is regulation per se bad? Is better regulation bad? I think better regulation is good for the business community, and I think that’s something we should get together on. – Ed Rendell

134569. We’ve been working our tail off and lead by that example. – Ed Rendell

134570. I think Barack Obama has brought a new level of ethical standards to Washington. Has he changed some basic hard-knuckle politics? No. You need hard-knuckle politics to succeed. – Ed Rendell

134571. Well, the infrastructure part of the stimulus has worked. There’s absolutely no question about it. We can demonstrate in Pennsylvania and other states around the union how it’s produced good, paying jobs both on the construction sites and back in American factories. It has worked. – Ed Rendell

134572. We will not lose this election for lack of money. – Ed Rendell

134573. If there was a way to discourage trash constitutionally, I would sure as heck take a hard look at it. I don’t think there is. So I don’t think there’s a choice here. – Ed Rendell

134574. If I lose, I lose. I’ll do it on my terms. – Ed Rendell

134575. And the beautiful open spaces, the forests of Pennsylvania, the recreational uses that come from having these green open spaces and forests, they contribute dramatically to the level of our tourism, dramatically. – Ed Rendell

134576. And secondly, I would impose a significant state landfill tipping fee and use that tipping fee to fund the billion dollar bond issue that I want to create to produce the funds for all of the environmental challenges that we just went over. – Ed Rendell

134577. And preserving our open spaces or having them there for recreational purposes is one of the things that contributes to the high level of quality of life that we offer in Pennsylvania, and that also translates into economic benefits. – Ed Rendell

134578. But in the long run we’re not going to be able to keep out of state trash away from Pennsylvania. – Ed Rendell

134579. For my part, I make this pledge to all of you: The politics of division, of pitting east against west, urban versus rural, region against region, and people against people will have no place in my Administration. – Edward G. Rendell

134580. Creating new jobs for Pennsylvanians continues to be my highest priority throughout the Commonwealth. – Edward G. Rendell

134581. The Medicaid system currently steers people toward nursing home care. Far more people can be covered in community-based care programs for significantly less. – Edward G. Rendell

134582. We are the second oldest state in the Union because too many of our young people are leaving Pennsylvania. They are leaving Pennsylvania behind for opportunities elsewhere. – Edward G. Rendell

134583. Like working families all across the state, we must find a way to make government live within its means. – Edward G. Rendell

134584. I think about death every day – what it would be like, why it would happen to me. It would be humiliating to be afraid. – Ruth Rendell

134585. I really do literally put myself into a character’s shoes. – Ruth Rendell

134586. I’ve had two proposals since I’ve been a widow. I am a wonderful catch, you know. I have a lot of money. – Ruth Rendell

134587. The knives of jealousy are honed on details. – Ruth Rendell

134588. I think to be driven to want to kill must be such a terrible burden. – Ruth Rendell

134589. While most of the things you’ve worried about have never happened, it’s a different story with the things you haven’t worried about. They are the ones that happen. – Ruth Rendell

134590. I try, and I think I succeed, in making my readers feel sorry for my psychopaths, because I do. – Ruth Rendell

134591. Everybody thinks I’m, like, a bad boy. I’ve had my day, but I just sit at home and play the blues mostly. – Brad Renfro

134592. Music I do just for me. – Jeremy Renner

134593. The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I’ll play in bands and record and play songs with other people, but for me it’s a form of expression that all I need is me. I don’t need cameras or agents, I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified. – Jeremy Renner

134600. I need to react to a script, to feel strongly about it in some way. And I need it to be a complex character for sure.

134601. They don’t allow you to go any further unless you can do this bomb suit training, because it puts such a mental strain on your spirit. It dumbs you down about 25 to 30 IQ points.

So the preparation for that – it’s either you have it, or you do not. – Jeremy Renner

134612. We have initiated programs for re-entry offenders, since some 500,000 to 600,000 offenders will come out of prison each year for the next three or four years. We want to have positive alternatives when they come back to the community. – Janet Reno

134613. It was not the president’s responsibility to run a law enforcement operation. It was ours. – Janet Reno

134625. Sometimes I take the watch, or I take the shoes, but usually the souvenir is to take the life you had with those directors, or the crew – the camera person, the lighting person.

134649. If oil companies were to invest their high profits into alternative fuel research it will help America move toward new forms of energy. – Rick Renzi

134766. What I’ve noticed in this game is how EA has even duplicated my moves and my style of play perfectly. It is really incredible and a lot of fun to play. – Claudio Reyna

134767. We’re a crazy country about sports, but for the longest time, only followed our own sports. – Claudio Reyna

134768. The situation was, the team I was on when I got injured went down to the lower leagues. In America, they don’t have that relegation, so when the team went down to the lower region, every player has his value, and they went off and sold any player who had value. – Claudio Reyna

134769. The more people who come from abroad who played soccer and are brought up playing it and watching it, then come over to America and bring what they know and what they play, that’s how the sport will grow. – Claudio Reyna

134770. The contracts are structured different than athletes in America, but for me, it was good to move on and go back to playing in the premiere league, which is the best league. It was disappointing, as far as the team goes, but for me, there wasn’t much I could do. – Claudio Reyna

134771. Sure we have skilled players, but the biggest thing might just be that we are so well conditioned and how we can play for 90 minutes at a high tempo which is needed in soccer at an international level. – Claudio Reyna

134773. It’s a unique situation as well because England is a small country, so it makes it easy for the fans to travel.

134774. I was on the sideline with a knee injury and when I came back, I wanted to play at the best level I could. And that’s the case for a lot of players, they want the chance to play against the best competition. – Claudio Reyna

134775. I think we have our sports within our own culture that are huge with baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. Those are the sports in America that we grow up with and soccer isn’t really there yet. – Claudio Reyna

134776. I think we have a good team, but soccer fans will know that we’re in a really tough group. The three teams in our group are really strong. The Czech Republic is a very good team, Italy is traditionally a powerhouse, and Ghana is one of the best teams in Africa. – Claudio Reyna

134777. I hear good things about Xbox Live from some of my younger teammates. I think it would be fun to be able to challenge fans all over the world. It would be cool to be able to play some of my friends back home in the States. I’m looking forward to trying it. – Claudio Reyna

134778. I have seen games on Xbox 360 and HD TV and I’m amazed at how realistic the players look. – Claudio Reyna

134779. I had to wait a while to get the scans back but it shows nothing in terms of needing surgery which is good. I hurt my AC joint and I just need to strengthen it. There is an outside chance to start training by the end of this week and if not than the start of next week. – Claudio Reyna

134780. EA SPORTS has a strong partnership with adidas and through this relationship they approached adidas about using some of their top players from around the world. – Claudio Reyna

134781. It’s the only sport that’s played in every country in the world. It’s played and watched all over the world, it’s the most popular sport in probably 90% of the countries, and then with the World Cup, you have the most viewed tournament of any sport in the world. – Claudio Reyna

134782. What Ireland needs now above all else is peace. – Albert Reynolds

134783. I call on everyone of goodwill both in Ireland and abroad to join now in ensuring that the beginning of peace becomes a reality, before this year is out. Let us together open a new era in our history. – Albert Reynolds

134791. I can sing as well as Fred Astaire can act. – Burt Reynolds

134792. I stopped making movies because I don’t like taking my clothes off. Maybe it’s realism, but in my opinion, it’s utter filth. – Debbie Reynolds

134793. You all know who she is. There’s very little she isn’t. – Debbie Reynolds

134794. Well, one of the things I did was recreate her home in my home. – Debbie Reynolds

134795. I wanted to be as comfortable in that environment as she was. I moved around those areas in character. – Debbie Reynolds

134796. I miss the movies. Still, I understood that my kind of movie has had its day. I thought it was over for me. – Debbie Reynolds

134797. I had the sets that meant so much to this character built – right in my home, especially the kitchen, which was important both for her character and for your introduction to her when Albert comes to visit. – Debbie Reynolds

134798. I gave it all that I had, and it’s gratifying that others seem to be receiving it so well. – Debbie Reynolds

134799. I wanted to get that sense of peace and even boredom that comes with long familiarity. – Debbie Reynolds

134800. I think your program has to reflect what your basic feelings are. I’ll plead guilty to that. – Frank Reynolds

134801. Let’s nail it down, let’s get it right. – Frank Reynolds

134802. The value and rank of every art is in proportion to the mental labor employed in it, or the mental pleasure in producing it. – Joshua Reynolds

134803. Words should be employed as the means, not the end; language is the instrument, conviction is the work. – Joshua Reynolds

134804. Invention, strictly speaking, is little more than a new combination of those images which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory; nothing can come of nothing. – Joshua Reynolds

134805. The real character of a man is found out by his amusements. – Joshua Reynolds

134806. The greatest man is he who forms the taste of a nation; the next greatest is he who corrupts it. – Joshua Reynolds

134807. It is but a poor eloquence which only shows that the orator can talk. – Joshua Reynolds

134808. If you have great talents, industry will improve them: if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiency. – Joshua Reynolds

134809. Few have been taught to any purpose who have not been their own teachers. – Joshua Reynolds

134810. Could we teach taste or genius by rules, they would be no longer taste and genius. – Joshua Reynolds

134811. All the gestures of children are graceful; the reign of distortion and unnatural attitudes commences with the introduction of the dancing master. – Joshua Reynolds

134812. A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts. – Joshua Reynolds

134813. A mere copier of nature can never produce anything great. – Joshua Reynolds

134814. We gained his operational capabilities and he gained our marketing skills. – Mercer Reynolds

134815. That day, my first day on the job, was September 11, 2001! I was actually being recognized by Switzerland the very day that the World Trade Center was hit. – Mercer Reynolds

134816. Initially, I had two thoughts. First, this is a very large conspiracy; and second, our children in Washington. We knew there were a few unidentified planes that may have been headed for the White House or the Capitol Building. – Mercer Reynolds

134817. In 1979 I teamed up with my friend and business partner, Bill DeWitt, and together we formed an oil and gas company that invested through limited partnerships in oil and gas exploration. – Mercer Reynolds

134818. When I exhale, I just turn right into Louie Anderson. – Ryan Reynolds

134819. I remember being upset because I was finally legal to drink in Canada, and I decided to throw that all away and move to America, where I had to wait another two years. I came here to do improv and to try to join the Groundlings. – Ryan Reynolds

134820. We started training a month before the movie started and then by five months in, we were at our peak shape. – Ryan Reynolds

134821. We might be too proud to admit it as guys, but we still need to learn how to manage responsibility, how to face our challenges. – Ryan Reynolds

134822. My father was a police officer before he retired. One of my brothers is also a police officer, and I think they kind of expected I would do something along those lines, like become a fireman or something. – Ryan Reynolds

134823. It’s a nice visual. I had just done Blade and I put on more weight for Blade and I thought I might as well use it so I kept it and added a little more. I wanted him to be a big bear. – Ryan Reynolds

134824. It was comical because you’re at a firing range, all these people are so seriously shooting their little guns. – Ryan Reynolds

134825. If you’re going to commit to that, you’re going to have to find some way to make it bearable and enjoyable. – Ryan Reynolds

134826. I remember that coming to America was scary for me because everything here is just bigger, better, shinier, you know? – Ryan Reynolds

134827. When I meet thousands of fans of the comic – when I realize every one of them can recite the Lantern Corps oath (‘In Brightest Day, in blackest night…’) – I know how important this is to people. – Ryan Reynolds

134828. Acting has given me a way to channel my angst. I feel like an overweight, pimply faced kid a lot of the time – and finding a way to access that insecurity, and put it toward something creative is incredibly rewarding. I feel very lucky. – Ryan Reynolds

134829. I love doing six versions of any joke, so if they’ll give me six takes, I’d love to do it. – Ryan Reynolds

134830. I just love bikes. It’s not the safest passion to have, but I guess it’s better than Russian roulette. – Ryan Reynolds

134831. I had to wear that suit, so I put in my required time in the gym. But I’m not one of those actors who romanticizes his trials working out and brags that he can bench press a panda now. – Ryan Reynolds

134832. I come from a family of cops, and all of them share that understanding that they put their lives on the line. They share and deal with that sense of risk every day, so I got to see that up close. – Ryan Reynolds

134833. I believe in energy like dark energies. I believe that when a family moves into a house where six murders took place, there’s going to be some bad juju in that house. But then again what the hell is wrong with you to be moving in that house to begin with? – Ryan Reynolds

134834. He has such a clear vision of exactly what he wanted out of each character, out of each set, out of each wardrobe change, out of each emotional beat, and action. – Ryan Reynolds

134835. Four months after we finished shooting, I’d been in New Orleans shooting another movie and my agent and I were having a bite to eat – actually in London – and he’s sitting there and goes, ‘Wow, I just can’t believe how ripped you are.’ – Ryan Reynolds

134836. Are you stalking me? Because that would be super. – Ryan Reynolds

134837. I never took acting classes, but I knew I could do it based on the skill with which I lied to my parents on a regular basis! – Ryan Reynolds

134838. The fingers of your thoughts are molding your face ceaselessly. – Charles Reznikoff

134839. I was up above it. Now, I’m down in it. – Trent Reznor

134840. I think there’s something strangely musical about noise. – Trent Reznor

134841. I feel uncomfortable because I’m insecure about who I am. – Trent Reznor

134842. I do actually believe in love. I can’t say that I’m 100 percent successful in that department, but I think it’s one of the few worthwhile human experiences. It’s cooler than anything I can think of right now. – Trent Reznor

134843. Bow down before the one you serve, you’re going to get what you deserve. – Trent Reznor

134844. Apparently, the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me. – Trent Reznor

134845. And when the day arrives I’ll become the sky and I’ll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home. Nothing can stop me now. – Trent Reznor

134846. Though I still have no semblance of a life outside of Nine Inch Nails at the moment, I realize my goals have gone from getting a record deal or selling another record to being a better person, more well-rounded, having friends, having a relationship with somebody. – Trent Reznor

134847. I’ve become impossible, holding on to when everything seemed to matter more. – Trent Reznor

134848. In my nothing, you were everything, to me. – Trent Reznor

134849. Sometimes we pee on each other before we go on stage. – Trent Reznor

134850. This isn’t meant to last. This is for right now. – Trent Reznor

134851. For me, acting was a way of releasing all of this stuff that I had inside – and a way for me to tell the stories of the people I knew, so that their spirit could live through me. – Ving Rhames

134852. I like to say that I didn’t choose acting – acting chose me. – Ving Rhames

134853. I saw how, when my brother smoked reefer, it made my mother cry. He was 16 at the time. And I saw that she broke down and cried. I never wanted to hurt my mother, so I kept away from drugs. – Ving Rhames

134854. You don’t have to make, you know, $3 Million dollars a movie, or $20 Million dollars a movie, but if you make a living doing what you love doing, then that’s success to me. – Ving Rhames

134855. Are you intimidated by me? Because if you’re intimidated by me, that’s something you’ll have to deal with. – Ving Rhames

134856. Being in therapy is great. I spend an hour just talking about myself. It’s kinda like being the guy on a date. – Caroline Rhea

134857. So little done, so much to do. – Cecil Rhodes

134858. I have found out one thing and that is, if you have an idea, and it is a good idea, if you only stick to it you will come out all right. – Cecil Rhodes

134859. The real fact is that I could no longer stand their eternal cold mutton. – Cecil Rhodes

134860. We must find new lands from which we can easily obtain raw materials and at the same time exploit the cheap slave labor that is available from the natives of the colonies. The colonies would also provide a dumping ground for the surplus goods produced in our factories. – Cecil Rhodes

134861. Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life. – Cecil Rhodes

134862. Style has always been very important to us. We grew up in the ’70s. Music was glam rock, punk rock and a very stylish movement. – Nick Rhodes

134863. I got this idea about being afraid to let go of something and being afraid of sinking into a state of almost anesthesia, where you have to trust other people. Just the paranoia of it all. And it seemed to suit the frenetic track. So I just wrote it out and, you know, said it. – Nick Rhodes

134864. You can only sleep in one bed at a time. – Nick Rhodes

134865. Obviously with every new album we make, we always have to believe in it and feel we’ve gone in the right direction. – Nick Rhodes

134866. You listen to a piece of music and it will remind you of something-it might make you happy, it might make you sad, but it is very emotive. And I think that Duran Duran have always understood that. – Nick Rhodes

134867. I appreciate the additional additives and preservatives that help sell a project, but I’m sticking to what works best for me. I gotta sell the album live on stage and make people believe in the songs. – Busta Rhymes

134868. I want you to see that I’m looking. Look at me look at you. I’m cool with that. – Busta Rhymes

134869. Age seldom arrives smoothly or quickly. It’s more often a succession of jerks. – Jean Rhys

134870. Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere. – Jean Rhys

134871. I often want to cry. That is the only advantage women have over men – at least they can cry. – Jean Rhys

134872. I like shape very much. A novel has to have shape, and life doesn’t have any. – Jean Rhys

134873. I enjoy looking at words on paper and visualizing how to make them come to life. As a director, the creative process is really amazing. – Alfonso Ribeiro

134874. I’ve been very fortunate in the things I’ve had in my life. But, at the same time, I wish I had the same types of memories as everyone else. – Alfonso Ribeiro

134875. If you want to be an actor, you have to do it because you love acting, not because you want to be a celebrity. – Alfonso Ribeiro

134876. We are all winners here. – Alfonso Ribeiro

134877. We went to – I guess it was a legitimate boiler room, and I sat in front of this guy who literally was on the phone with two people at once. They call it double fisting. – Giovanni Ribisi

134878. I used to shy away from publicity so as not to let it get in the way of the work. But it’s part of the job. The tabloids are a whole other arena. If fame happens, it happens. I just want to maintain focus. – Giovanni Ribisi

134879. Dostoevski was on to something. You are the path you choose. You are what your vocation is. – Giovanni Ribisi

134880. I grew up with Scientology – my parents at one point were clerical. It’s a pragmatic philosophy, not merely a belief system. Yeah, it’s had media exposure because certain luminaries do Scientology, but millions of people do it who are not celebrities. It’s not a threat or some cult. – Giovanni Ribisi

134881. I love talking about Scientology. – Giovanni Ribisi

134882. I’m old fashioned with my cell phone. I like that human contact and I think it’s important. – Giovanni Ribisi

134883. I’m so critical of myself. I’m actually really, really proud of the film. It’s really cool to see a movie at Sundance because everybody is so supportive. – Giovanni Ribisi

134884. I’ve been allowed to grow over the past twenty years. I’ve managed to avoid being trapped in one moment of my career and for that, I’m very thankful. – Giovanni Ribisi

134885. If I had to choose criteria, for me, it’s about first the director. I want to be a part of something that’s good and intellectually challenging. After the director it’s the character and the story. That’s the deal for me. – Giovanni Ribisi

134886. My mother told me I was begging her to be an actor when I was four. My father and my grandfather saw at least one or two movies a week; they were film buffs, so I guess it just rubbed off on me. And now it’s kind of become a way of life for me. – Giovanni Ribisi

134887. Those people are unabashedly ruthless as far as money is concerned. – Giovanni Ribisi

134888. What’s sad is that there is an addictive quality to that, to believing your own hype; to allowing yourself to become validated by others and no longer by yourself. That’s the danger of celebrity. – Giovanni Ribisi

134889. You have to take into account it was the cell phone that became what the modern-day concept of a phone call is, and this is a device that’s attached to your hip 24/7. Before that there was ‘leave a message’ and before that there was ‘hopefully you’re home.’ – Giovanni Ribisi

134890. There’s the concept that if I do this big budget project, then that will help me do the things I really want to do and bring more money to those films. – Giovanni Ribisi

134891. I hate nostalgia, I want nothing to do with it. – Marc Ribot

134892. Jazz is a music of great achievements but speed and chops serve a different function in jazz. – Marc Ribot

134893. Modern instruments were designed to throw sound all in one direction. – Marc Ribot

134894. I’m not a really good classical guitarist by any means, but what I learned from this is a way of working very slowly on solo pieces and I enjoyed working on these pieces of John’s. They were not written for solo guitar but a lot of them were easy to adapt. – Marc Ribot

134895. Influence, people think about it as someone you like but influence is also what you’re revolted by. In fact, often it’s what you’re running away from. – Marc Ribot

134896. Good is the director who lets you do what you have to do. – Marc Ribot

134897. I claimed identity as Jewish musicians for political reasons, because most of us were touring in Germany and, at this time, twelve years ago, there was a strong resurgence of Nazism in the places we were touring and part of that was on the music scene. – Marc Ribot

134898. By far the greatest part of those goods which are the objects of desire, are procured by labour; and they may be multiplied, not in one country alone, but in many, almost without any assignable limit, if we are disposed to bestow the labour necessary to obtain them. – David Ricardo

134899. In comparing therefore the value of the same commodity, at different periods of time, the consideration of the comparative skill and intensity of labour, required for that particular commodity, needs scarcely to be attended to, as it operates equally at both periods. – David Ricardo

134900. If we were left to ourselves, unfettered by legislative enactments, we should gradually withdraw our capital from the cultivation of such lands, and import the produce which is at present raised upon them. – David Ricardo

134901. If then the prosperity of the commercial classes, will most certainly lead to accumulation of capital, and the encouragement of productive industry; these can by no means be so surely obtained as by a fall in the price of corn. – David Ricardo

134902. If the quantity of labour realized in commodities, regulate their exchangeable value, every increase of the quantity of labour must augment the value of that commodity on which it is exercised, as every diminution must lower it. – David Ricardo

134903. If the demand for home commodities should be diminished, because of the fall of rent on the part of the landlords, it will be increased in a far greater degree by the increased opulence of the commercial classes. – David Ricardo

134904. Gold and silver are no doubt subject to fluctuations, from the discovery of new and more abundant mines; but such discoveries are rare, and their effects, though powerful, are limited to periods of comparatively short duration. – David Ricardo

134905. If a commodity were in no way useful, – in other words, if it could in no way contribute to our gratification, – it would be destitute of exchangeable value, however scarce it might be, or whatever quantity of labour might be necessary to procure it. – David Ricardo

134906. Gold and silver, like other commodities, have an intrinsic value, which is not arbitrary, but is dependent on their scarcity, the quantity of labour bestowed in procuring them, and the value of the capital employed in the mines which produce them. – David Ricardo

134907. In stating the principles which regulate exchangeable value and price, we should carefully distinguish between those variations which belong to the commodity itself, and those which are occasioned by a variation in the medium in which value is estimated, or price expressed. – David Ricardo

134908. In the same manner if any nation wasted part of its wealth, or lost part of its trade, it could not retain the same quantity of circulating medium which it before possessed. – David Ricardo

134909. It is not by the absolute quantity of produce obtained by either class, that we can correctly judge of the rate of profit, rent, and wages, but by the quantity of labour required to obtain that produce. – David Ricardo

134910. Profits might also increase, because improvements might take place in agriculture, or in the implements of husbandry, which would augment the produce with the same cost of production. – David Ricardo

134911. The exchangeable value of all commodities, rises as the difficulties of their production increase. – David Ricardo

134912. During the period of capital moving from one employment to another, the profits on that to which capital is flowing will be relatively high, but will continue so no longer than till the requisite capital is obtained. – David Ricardo

134913. The proportions, too, in which the capital that is to support labour, and the capital that is invested in tools, machinery and buildings, may be variously combined. – David Ricardo

134914. Whenever, then, the usual and ordinary rate of the profits of agricultural stock, and all the outgoings belonging to the cultivation of land, are together equal to the value of the whole produce, there can be no rent. – David Ricardo

134915. The rise or fall of wages is common to all states of society, whether it be the stationary, the advancing, or the retrograde state. – David Ricardo

134916. There can be no rise in the value of labour without a fall of profits. – David Ricardo

134917. But a rise in the wages of labour would not equally affect commodities produced with machinery quickly consumed, and commodities produced with machinery slowly consumed. – David Ricardo

134918. Gold, on the contrary, though of little use compared with air or water, will exchange for a great quantity of other goods. – David Ricardo

134919. The facility of obtaining food is beneficial in two ways to the owners of capital, it at the same time raises profits and increases the amount of consumable commodities. – David Ricardo

134920. A rise in wages, from an alteration in the value of money, produces a general effect on price, and for that reason it produces no real effect whatever on profits. – David Ricardo

134921. A rise of wages from this cause will, indeed, be invariably accompanied by a rise in the price of commodities; but in such cases, it will be found that labour and all commodities have not varied in regard to each other, and that the variation has been confined to money. – David Ricardo

134922. After all the fertile land in the immediate neighbourhood of the first settlers were cultivated, if capital and population increased, more food would be required, and it could only be procured from land not so advantageously situated. – David Ricardo

134923. Again two manufacturers may employ the same amount of fixed, and the same amount of circulating capital; but the durability of their fixed capitals may be very unequal. – David Ricardo

134924. As the revenue of the farmer is realized in raw produce, or in the value of raw produce, he is interested, as well as the landlord, in its high exchangeable value, but a low price of produce may be compensated to him by a great additional quantity. – David Ricardo

134925. This is my costume. I’m a homicidal maniac. They look just like everyone else. – Christina Ricci

134926. My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it’s incredibly romantic. – Christina Ricci

134927. I’m an actor who hates dialogue and the present day and reality. – Christina Ricci

134928. I like the way my own feet smell. I love to smell my sneakers when I take them off. – Christina Ricci

134929. If I know I have everything prepared for when I get killed by a stalker, then I can go to sleep. – Christina Ricci

134930. I don’t think there’s a problem at all with steroids in the NHL. I can say that. – Mike Ricci

134931. In the summertime, we do a lot of video work. With that, I can show them if their head is moving too far or if the ball position or alignment isn’t right. – Mike Ricci

134932. A good interpreter can take a piece of bad music and make it sound pretty decent, while a bad interpreter can take good music and make it sound cheap. I can tell that some people have a bad taste, and unlike on the piano, they smear around a lot, that is bad taste. – Ruggiero Ricci

134933. Well, rhythm is 90 percent of the interpretation. – Ruggiero Ricci

134934. When you can hear a violinist, that is better than you, then you learn from him, because if you play with somebody who is worse than you, then you go down. – Ruggiero Ricci

134935. A specialist is someone who does everything else worse. – Ruggiero Ricci

134936. Colour does not make so much difference. Look at the Bach Chaconne: There is not one dynamic mark in the whole Bach Chaconne. Colours do not make so much difference. – Ruggiero Ricci

134937. I don’t have favourites, I think, when you play, you have to be like a prostitute, you have to love the piece you are playing. Even if you don’t like it, you have to play it as if you would like it. Then you are a good interpreter. – Ruggiero Ricci

134938. So, first you have to be able to play with a metronome. Then you take your freedom. If you play in an orchestra, you got to watch the conductor, he is like a metronome, but it is more difficult because he can change rhythms. – Ruggiero Ricci

134939. Of course the most difficult thing on the violin is always intonation. The second one is rhythm. If you play in tune, in time with a good sound that’s already high level. Those three are the main things. – Ruggiero Ricci

134940. It would be easier to say, what was the difference in style from many years ago. Many years ago, the old violinists, they also had a good technique, they were not tonally as good. – Ruggiero Ricci

134941. You have to do a lot of listening, you don’t just learn out of yourself. – Ruggiero Ricci

134942. Every violinist has a different style, so it’s important to be able to recognise their styles. You don’t have to like everyone’s style but you have to know these styles. – Ruggiero Ricci

134943. First-person narrators is the way I know how to write a book with the greatest power and chance of artistic success. – Anne Rice

134944. Dickens is a very underrated writer at the moment. Everyone in his time admired him but I think right now he’s not spoken of enough. – Anne Rice

134945. Evil is always possible. Goodness is a difficulty. – Anne Rice

134946. I’m fascinated by almost any mythology that I can get my hands on. – Anne Rice

134947. I loved words. I love to sing them and speak them and even now, I must admit, I have fallen into the joy of writing them. – Anne Rice

134948. I’m going to keep on dealing with the supernatural in a lot of ways. – Anne Rice

134949. I thought The Shining was just absolutely wonderful. Stephen King reaches all kinds of people. In the beginning he was just dismissed out of hand, which was terrible. – Anne Rice

134950. I read The Old Curiosity Shop before I began Blackwood Farm. I was amazed at the utter madness in that book. – Anne Rice

134951. I was obsessed with religious questions, the basics: Why are we here? Why is the world so beautiful? – Anne Rice

134952. I wish we had more visible Christian and Catholic leaders who talked about love. – Anne Rice

134953. I’m definitely more influenced by European writers than I am by American writers, there’s no doubt about that. – Anne Rice

134954. I love New Orleans physically. I love the trees and the balmy air and the beautiful days. I have a beautiful house here. – Anne Rice

134955. I’m always looking, and I’m always asking questions. – Anne Rice

134956. I gave up on the big screen. The Witching Hour was at Warner Bros. for 10 years and it just didn’t work out. – Anne Rice

134957. I feel like an outsider, and I always will feel like one. I’ve always felt that I wasn’t a member of any particular group. – Anne Rice

134958. I enjoy the Web site a lot and I like being able to talk to my readers. I’ve always had a very close relationship with them. – Anne Rice

134959. I do want to go another way – to write something completely different. – Anne Rice

134960. I do not read the ancient languages, but I am beginning to study Greek. – Anne Rice

134961. I claim Dickens as a mentor. He’s my teacher. He’s one of my driving forces. – Anne Rice

134962. I can’t keep up with Stephen King’s output. – Anne Rice

134963. I can’t get very far away from Christianity, I can’t get very far away from the angels and the saints. I work them in always, in some way. – Anne Rice

134964. I broke with my religion in college. – Anne Rice

134965. I know nothing of God or the Devil. I have never seen a vision nor learned a secret that would damn or save my soul. – Anne Rice

134966. I want to love all the children of God – Christian, Jew, Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist – everyone. I want to love gay Christians and straight Christians. – Anne Rice

134967. The world doesn’t need any more mediocrity or hedged bets. – Anne Rice

134968. We have to become saints. We have to become like Christ. Anything less is simply not enough. – Anne Rice

134969. You reach deep down and bring up what feels absolutely authentic to you as you move along with the book, but you don’t know everything about it. You can’t. – Anne Rice

134970. You can look at the New York Times Bestseller List and you can be pretty sure that the writers on that list don’t know each other very well. – Anne Rice

134971. Writers, as they gain success, feel like outsiders because writers don’t come together in real groups. – Anne Rice

134972. When you make his sandwiches, put a sexy or loving note in his lunch box. – Anne Rice

134973. When I write something, every word of it is meant. I can’t say it enough. – Anne Rice

134974. What I did was take the Jesus of the Gospels, the Son of God, the Son of the Virgin Mary, and sought to make Him utterly believable, a vital breathing character. – Anne Rice

134975. The vampires have always been metaphors for me. They’ve always been vehicles through which I can express things I have felt very, very deeply. – Anne Rice

134976. We need to stop fighting Christian against Christian. I have no time for anything but trying to love other people. That is a full-time job. – Anne Rice
