135208. I tried to look presentable for a show, but not for sexual attraction. It was strictly for show business. – Little Richard

135210. I think people who don’t believe in God are crazy. How can you say there is no God when you hear the birds singing these beautiful songs you didn’t make? – Little Richard

135211. I think God made a woman to be strong and not to be trampled under the feet of men. I’ve always felt this way because my mother was a very strong woman, without a husband. – Little Richard

135219. No, I’ve never truly been a minister. – Little Richard

135220. Now they have banging guitar and no bass and call it rock, but that’s not what I call rock. – Little Richard

135221. Plus I love Tanya Tucker and I love country music. – Little Richard

135222. Some situations you cause yourself. – Little Richard

135223. When you sit down and think about what rock ‘n’ roll music really is, then you have to change that question. Played up-tempo, you call it rock ‘n’ roll; at a regular tempo, you call it rhythm and blues. – Little Richard

135224. I thank God for making me a man. – Little Richard

135225. But I’m a rock ‘n’ roll singer; that’s my livelihood, my occupation. – Little Richard

135227. I also like the banging piano – that old good-time piano. – Little Richard

135228. I only wore makeup when I went onstage. – Little Richard

135229. And I think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female. – Little Richard

135231. But I was singing loud, and most singers weren’t singing loud. – Little Richard

135250. I’ve always said that in politics, your enemies can’t hurt you, but your friends will kill you. – Ann Richards

135251. I believe in recovery, and I believe that as a role model I have the responsibility to let young people know that you can make a mistake and come back from it. – Ann Richards

135252. Teaching was the hardest work I had ever done, and it remains the hardest work I have done to date. – Ann Richards

135257. I thought I knew Texas pretty well, but I had no notion of its size until I campaigned it. – Ann Richards

135258. Both class and race survive education, and neither should. What is education then? If it doesn’t help a human being to recognize that humanity is humanity, what is it for? So you can make a bigger salary than other people? – Beah Richards

135259. For me life is a challenge. And it will be a challenge if I live to be 100 or if I get to be a trillionaire. – Beah Richards

135260. Heaven and earth! How is it that bodies join but never meet? – Beah Richards

135263. One of the great lessons I’ve learned in athletics is that you’ve got to discipline your life. No matter how good you may be, you’ve got to be willing to cut out of your life those things that keep you from going to the top. – Bob Richards

135264. I won it, at least five million times. Men who were stronger, bigger and faster than I was could have done it, but they never picked up a pole, and never made the feeble effort to pick their legs off the ground and get over the bar. – Bob Richards

135265. The march is a way to get in celebration mode. – Charles Richards

135268. The Internet’s been so great, and it’s so nice to have fans do nice, elaborate websites, but I think the downside is some of the things… for real fans to go on and see that 90 percent of the information isn’t true or to see pictures that aren’t really me. – Denise Richards

135269. There are always two or three or four sides to every story. – Denise Richards

135271. It’s just keeping what I want private, private, and the same with Charlie. – Denise Richards

135273. I like to be at home because I just travel so much. I have four dogs, golden retrievers. – Denise Richards

135274. I don’t know what the big issue is about a kiss with Neve Campbell in Wild Things. It’s a role, and I think a bigger issue is made out of it. It was a part I took and it’s what the character did, so I did it. – Denise Richards

135275. Every photo shoot, I’m always asking the makeup artist what they’re using on me, and I’ll go out and get it. – Denise Richards

135276. During the day I don’t wear much makeup. – Denise Richards

135277. Doing love scenes is always awkward. I mean, it’s just not a normal thing to go to work and lay in bed with your co-worker. – Denise Richards

135278. But I always curl my lashes, even if I don’t put on mascara. I’ll also put on a lip gloss or lip balm. And I always brush my eyebrows. I have very thick eyebrows – I’m just now starting to thin them out a bit. – Denise Richards

135279. Being a teenager, I would think they were real strict, and I would get upset, but I’m glad they were like that. They didn’t let us do whatever we wanted. We weren’t allowed to date until we were, like, juniors in high school. – Denise Richards

135280. As a little girl I loved the thought of playing dress-up and getting ready. – Denise Richards

135281. A date once leaned in to kiss me, and he ended up kissing my cheek. He was a little offended, but I didn’t want to kiss him just to not hurt his feelings. – Denise Richards

135282. A good margarita, a good red wine, I like expensive alcohol, but not a lot of it. I don’t like to throw up. – Denise Richards

135283. Everyone wants to pluck eyebrows. I thinned them out real thin once and it just didn’t look like me. – Denise Richards

135284. Yeah, some kids called me fish lips because I had these really full lips. Now I’m sure all those same girls are getting collagen injections, so I’m having the last laugh. – Denise Richards

135290. If you keep your feathers well oiled the water of criticism will run off as from a duck’s back. – Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards

135291. If it is a relief to take your clothes off at night, be sure that something is wrong. Clothes should not be a burden. They should be a comfort and a protection. – Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards

135292. I prefer surveying for a week to spending a week in fashionable society even of the best class. – Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards

135293. The only trouble here is they won’t let us study enough. They are so afraid we shall break down and you know the reputation of the College is at stake, for the question is, can girls get a college degree without ruining their health? – Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards

135294. I can’t remember ever being told how to ride. – Gordon Richards

135295. I just got on a pony’s back and away I went. – Gordon Richards

135297. In advertising, sex sells. But only if you’re selling sex. – Jef I. Richards

135298. There’s so much truly putrid advertising out there it’s embarrassing. But not all advertising is bad. Some of it is really quite mediocre. – Jef I. Richards

135299. There is a huge difference between journalism and advertising. Journalism aspires to truth. Advertising is regulated for truth. I’ll put the accuracy of the average ad in this country up against the average news story any time. – Jef I. Richards

135300. The law requires a paper towel ad to be scrupulously honest, but allows political candidates to lie without reproach. What’s wrong with this picture? – Jef I. Richards

135301. The Death of Advertising? I think that’s in the book of Revelation. It’s the day when people everywhere become satisfied with their weight, their hair, their skin, their wardrobe, and their aroma. – Jef I. Richards

135302. In the world of commercial speech, tobacco advertising bears the earmarks of an endangered species. – Jef I. Richards

135303. While it may be true that the best advertising is word-of-mouth, never lose sight of the fact it also can be the worst advertising. – Jef I. Richards

135304. Advertising is the ‘wonder’ in Wonder Bread. – Jef I. Richards

135305. I wish all consumers were as gullible as advertising’s biggest critics. Anyone who believes advertising is that powerful will believe almost anything. – Jef I. Richards

135306. Advertising is speech. It’s regulated because it’s often effective speech. – Jef I. Richards

135307. Advertising is totally unnecessary. Unless you hope to make money. – Jef I. Richards

135308. Commercial speech is like obscenity… we can’t seem to define it, but we know it when we see it. – Jef I. Richards

135309. Congress seems to believe that ‘Children are our future’ is a phrase coined by tobacco advertisers. – Jef I. Richards

135312. I believe ‘credibility’ is one of the biggest issues yet to be addressed by Internet advertisers. – Jef I. Richards

135315. I only get ill when I give up drugs. – Keith Richards

135317. I look for ambiguity when I’m writing because life is ambiguous. – Keith Richards

135318. I’ve never had a problem with drugs. I’ve had problems with the police. – Keith Richards

135319. If you don’t know the blues… there’s no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music. – Keith Richards

135323. Let me be clear about this. I don’t have a drug problem. I have a police problem. – Keith Richards

135324. Rock and Roll: Music for the neck downwards. – Keith Richards

135325. The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do. – Keith Richards

135326. It’s an addiction… and addiction is something I should know something about. – Keith Richards

135327. Everyone talks about rock these days; the problem is they forget about the roll. – Keith Richards

135328. Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can’t do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen. – Keith Richards

135329. Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we’re getting the hang of this thing, you know? – Keith Richards

135330. I have no idea what the audience makes of me. – Keith Richards

135331. There’s no substitute for live work to keep a band together. – Keith Richards

135332. To make a rock’n’roll record, technology is the least important thing. – Keith Richards

135333. To me, as long as we’ve known each other, I’ve always thought Mick’s most brilliant thing was that he could work in an area two foot square and give a very exciting performance. – Keith Richards

135334. When I listen to what I did under the influence – 10 years of work – I don’t think it either enhanced or impaired me. It didn’t have that much to do with it. – Keith Richards

135335. You’ve got the sun, you’ve got the moon, and you’ve got the Rolling Stones. – Keith Richards

135336. The Stones in a club is still the ultimate rush. – Keith Richards

135337. It helps, I think, to consider ourselves on a very long journey: the main thing is to keep to the faith, to endure, to help each other when we stumble or tire, to weep and press on. – Mary Richards

135338. It is for each of us freely to choose whom we shall serve, and find in that obedience our freedom. – Mary Richards

135339. To have character is to be big enough to take life on. – Mary Richards

135340. Let no one be deluded that a knowledge of the path can substitute for putting one foot in front of the other. – Mary Richards

135341. Our works and our play. All our pleasures experienced as the pleasure of love. What could be better that? To feel in one’s work the tender and flushed substance of one’s dearest concern. – Mary Richards

135342. The imagination equips us to perceive reality when it is not fully materialized. – Mary Richards

135343. Who are enemies? Those who oppose each others will. – Mary Richards

135344. Am I willing to give up what I have in order to be what I am not yet? Am I able to follow the spirit of love into the desert? It is a frightening and sacred moment. There is no return. One’s life is charged forever. It is the fire that gives us our shape. – Mary Richards

135348. It’s strange how parts come along, how life lives us, and what we get to do with the abilities that are given us. – Michael Richards

135349. I’m really busted up over this and I’m very, very sorry to those people in the audience, the blacks, the Hispanics, whites – everyone that was there that took the brunt of that anger and hate and rage and how it came through. – Michael Richards

135350. I’m not a racist, that’s what so insane about this, and yet it’s said, it comes through, it fires out of me, and even now in the passion that’s here as I confront myself. – Michael Richards

135351. There’s a great deal of disturbance in this country and how black feel about what happened in Katrina, and, you know, many of the comics, many of performers are in Las Vegas and New Orleans trying to raise money for what happened there. – Michael Richards

135352. I’ll get to the force field of this hostility, why it’s there, why the rage is in any of us, why the trash takes place, whether or not it’s between me and a couple of hecklers in the audience or between this country and another nation, the rage. – Michael Richards

135353. When you perform in front of an audience after only two days of rehearsal, you’re flying by the seat of your pants – particularly when they’re rewriting the show right up to the moment the camera goes on. – Michael Richards

135356. If a man will make a purchase of a chance he must abide by the consequences. – Richard Richards

135357. We as a people, as a state, and as a community, have too much promise, too much potential, and too much at stake to go any other way than forward. We are too strong in our hearts, too innovative in our minds, and too firm in our beliefs to retreat from our goals. – Bill Richardson

135362. Education enables people and societies to be what they can be. – Bill Richardson

135363. I choose bold. I choose action. I choose what’s right for the people. I choose to make a difference. – Bill Richardson

135364. I’ve been told that I have a lot of energy. The secret is that I use renewable resources. Some days I’m solar powered. Some days I’m wind powered. And some people in this room might think I’m hybrid gas-powered. You’ll just have to guess which it is today. – Bill Richardson

135365. Ignorance has always been the weapon of tyrants; enlightenment the salvation of the free. – Bill Richardson

135366. Raising a family is difficult enough. But it’s even more difficult for single parents struggling to make ends meet. They don’t need more obstacles. They need more opportunities. – Bill Richardson

135370. Lock it out so you can perform your movement, disarm, or technique. – Burton Richardson

135371. I had come to regard the U.S. Senate’s rejection of the League of Nations as a tragic mistake. – Elliot Richardson

135372. If the large power voluntarily abstains from using its full power or feels the strategic situation to be such that it cannot do so, it in effect loses the advantage of being a big power. – Elliot Richardson

135373. If there are flaws they are in ourselves, and our task therefore must be one not of redesign but of renewal and reaffirmation, especially of the standards in which all of us believe. – Elliot Richardson

135374. I thought I was going to be killed. The casualties were so heavy, it was just a given. I learned to take each day, each mission, as it came. That’s an attitude I’ve carried into my professional life. I take each case, each job, as it comes. – Elliot Richardson

135375. I hope you will respond to the crisis of confidence that Watergate has created by opening up your administration and reaching out to people in a more magnanimous spirit. – Elliot Richardson

135376. It often seemed like we had become a nation where the only heroes were rock singers and ball players and that there were no large men of probity who could be called upon for the task. – Elliot Richardson

135377. My most important task must be an attempt to bring the monster under democratic direction and control. – Elliot Richardson

135378. For you, the state is an entity with purposes of its own that the people can be required to serve. For us the word is only a label for the arrangements by which we the people delegate to some among us responsibility for things that concern us in common. – Elliot Richardson

135379. But tending machinery was one thing; defining what we were trying to do and why we were doing it, and developing ways to measure how well the job was done – this was something else again. – Elliot Richardson

135380. This anniversary serves to help remind the American people that, in the wake of one of the greatest political scandals and misuse of power in our history as a nation, scandal produced important reforms that served this nation well for two decades. – Elliot Richardson

135381. The vice president had a bargaining asset, however, that no ordinary person has: He was next in line to the presidency. I saw no chance that he would resign first, then take his chances on trial, conviction, and jail. – Elliot Richardson

135382. I said the first concern of the administration of justice must, of course, be the individual. The second concern is the truth. – Elliot Richardson

135384. The Watergate reforms did work well for many years, and if improved and broadened, these reforms can have real and major impact on the system today. – Elliot Richardson

135385. The idea of being in the State Department was exciting. On the other hand, I always had in the back of my mind going into politics. If I stayed in Washington, I might end up a government hack. – Elliot Richardson

135386. Though every legal task demands this skill, it is especially important in the effort to frame public policy in a way that is properly responsive to human needs and predicaments. The question is always: How will the general rule work in practice? – Elliot Richardson

135387. The experience of learning how to get straight to the core of a problem proved to be of immense value later when I had a long succession of responsibilities in large, complex government departments. – Elliot Richardson

135388. Mr. President, I believe your real problem is that you have somehow been unable to realize that you have won, not only won, but been re-elected by a tremendous margin. – Elliot Richardson

135389. People have moved beyond apathy, beyond skepticism into deep cynicism. – Elliot Richardson

135390. There is an increasingly pervasive sense not only of failure, but of futility. The legislative process has become a cruel shell game and the service system has become a bureaucratic maze, inefficient, incomprehensible, and inaccessible. – Elliot Richardson

135391. What I’d like to get across is try your best to be yourself. I realize there are those who are much further along than you are; there are stars, but learn to be who you are and to play yourself. Be confident in that fact. – Jerome Richardson

135607. I was lucky because logarithmic plots are a device of the devil. – Charles Francis Richter

135608. I usually point out that most loss of life and property has been due to the collapse of antiquated and unsafe structures, mostly of brick and other masonry. – Charles Francis Richter

135609. I suggested that we might compare earthquakes in terms of the measured amplitudes recorded at these stations, with an appropriate correction for distance. – Charles Francis Richter

135610. I repeatedly have to correct this belief. In a sense, magnitude involves steps of 10 because every increase of one magnitude represents a tenfold amplification of the ground motion. But there is no ‘scale of 10′ in the sense of an upper limit. – Charles Francis Richter

135611. From here, it becomes an engineering problem; the engineer considers the ground motion that will occur and evaluates the requirements of the proposed structure in the light of the local foundation conditions. – Charles Francis Richter

135612. For example, some stars put out large amounts of energy in the infrared part of the spectrum, so that this can produce a different relative magnitude rating than using light energy from the middle of the spectrum. – Charles Francis Richter

135613. Emphasis was usually put on the horizontal acceleration factor, for the simple reason that ordinary structures have a built-in safety factor for the vertical component; that is, gravity. – Charles Francis Richter

135614. By moving them vertically, a representative mean curve could be formed, and individual events were then characterized by individual logarithmic differences from the standard curve. – Charles Francis Richter

135615. As seismologists gained more experience from earthquake records, it became obvious that the problem could not be reduced to a single peak acceleration. In fact, a full frequency of vibrations occurs. – Charles Francis Richter

135616. If the assumptions used in calculating energy are changed, then this seriously affects the final result, even though the same body of data might be used. – Charles Francis Richter

135617. Don’t wait for extraordinary circumstance to do good; try to use ordinary situations. – Charles Richter

135618. Why not a space flower? Why do we always expect metal ships? – W. D. Richter

135619. Of course no one thought of anything except of attacking the enemy. It lies in the instinct of every German to rush at the enemy wherever he meets him, particularly if he meets hostile cavalry. – Manfred von Richthofen

135620. We convinced him quickly that the possibility of war was absolutely nil and continued our festivity. On the next day we were ordered to take the field. – Manfred von Richthofen

135621. There were sometimes from forty to sixty English machines, but unfortunately the Germans were often in the minority. With them quality was more important than quantity. – Manfred von Richthofen

135622. The English had hit upon a splendid joke. They intended to catch me or to bring me down. – Manfred von Richthofen

135623. All the papers contained nothing but fantastic stories about the war. However, for several months we had been accustomed to war talk. We had so often packed our service trunks that the whole thing had become tedious. – Manfred von Richthofen

135624. Of course, with the increasing number of aeroplanes one gains increased opportunities for shooting down one’s enemies, but at the same time, the possibility of being shot down one’s self increases. – Manfred von Richthofen

135625. Now I am within thirty yards of him. He must fall. The gun pours out its stream of lead. Then it jams. Then it reopens fire. That jam almost saved his life. – Manfred von Richthofen

135626. My dear Excellency! I have not gone to war to collect cheese and eggs, but for another purpose. – Manfred von Richthofen

135627. It is a pity that my collection of trophies contains not a single Russian. – Manfred von Richthofen

135628. In the heat of the Russian summer a sleeping car is the most horrible instrument of martyrdom imaginable. – Manfred von Richthofen

135629. I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible. – Manfred von Richthofen

135630. I honored the fallen enemy by placing a stone on his beautiful grave. – Manfred von Richthofen

135631. I have had an experience which might perhaps be described as being shot down. At the same time, I call shot down only when one falls down. Today I got into trouble but I escaped with a whole skin. – Manfred von Richthofen

135632. Everything depends on whether we have for opponents those French tricksters or those daring rascals, the English. I prefer the English. Frequently their daring can only be described as stupidity. In their eyes it may be pluck and daring. – Manfred von Richthofen

135633. As a little boy of eleven I entered the Cadet Corps. I was not particularly eager to become a Cadet, but my father wished it. So my wishes were not consulted. – Manfred von Richthofen

135634. It is better that one’s customers come to one’s shop than to have to look for them abroad. – Manfred von Richthofen

135635. One can become enthusiastic over anything. For a time I was delighted with bomb throwing. It gave me a tremendous pleasure to bomb those fellows from above. – Manfred von Richthofen

135677. Cobb lived off the field as though he wished to live forever. He lived on the field as though it was his last day. – Branch Rickey

135678. Ethnic prejudice has no place in sports, and baseball must recognize that truth if it is to maintain stature as a national game. – Branch Rickey

135681. A full mind is an empty bat. – Branch Rickey

135683. I think all of the parties still have some way to go to better utilise IT in campaigns. – Adam Rickitt

135684. The evidence that things are changing fast can be seen in the dramatic increase in the influence of blogging. We should be collecting emails as we used to collect telephone numbers and using them to better communicate our message to key voters. – Adam Rickitt

135685. With regard to the youth vote we should encourage them to partake in the process, making more use of our education system to show the role Government plays in their lives, but also utilise the youth media they relate to to better connect them to our message. – Adam Rickitt

135686. Since an early age I was taught to be very politically aware and knew from childhood that the process was something I wanted to contribute towards if I could. – Adam Rickitt

135687. I’ve never had a chance to sit down and enjoy what’s happened – I’ve been too panicked about the next move. So I took some time out. I thought either I do this now or in 10 years’ time I’ll end up in the Priory. – Adam Rickitt

135688. I’m the first to admit I’ve had a sheltered life. I grew up in the country and went to a boarding school. It was all just part of the business – be nice to everyone and all that. – Adam Rickitt

135689. I was stuck with looking like a girl. As soon as I got out of music it was straight off to the hairdressers. – Adam Rickitt

135690. I think people forget that to be on the A list you first had to go through the original graded Parliamentary Selection Board. I did that and then like everyone else had the further interviews to get onto the A list. – Adam Rickitt

135748. The text is a limited field of possible constructions. – Paul Ricoeur

135749. The narrative constructs the identity of the character, what can be called his or her narrative identity, in constructing that of the story told. It is the identity of the story that makes the identity of the character. – Paul Ricoeur

135750. The moral law commands us to make the highest possible good in a world the final object of all our conduct. – Paul Ricoeur

135751. Testimony should be a philosophical problem and not limited to legal or historical contexts where it refers to the account of a witness who reports what he has seen. – Paul Ricoeur

135752. The Law is one aspect of a much more concrete and encompassing relation than the relation between commanding and obeying that characterizes the imperative. – Paul Ricoeur

135753. Wisdom finds its literary expression in wisdom literature. – Paul Ricoeur

135754. Testimony gives something to be interpreted. – Paul Ricoeur

135772. Some astronauts sleep in sort of beds – compartments that you can open up and crawl into and then close up, almost like a little bedroom. – Sally Ride

135773. So most astronauts getting ready to lift off are excited and very anxious and worried about that explosion – because if something goes wrong in the first seconds of launch, there’s not very much you can do. – Sally Ride

135780. Once you are assigned to a flight, the whole crew is assigned at the same time, and then that crew trains together for a whole year to prepare for that flight. – Sally Ride

135781. The most anxious time was during launch, just because that is so dramatic. – Sally Ride

135782. The pressure suit helps if something goes wrong during launch or re-entry – astronauts have a way to parachute off the shuttle. The suits protect you from loss of pressure in case of emergency. – Sally Ride

135783. The space shuttle is a better and safer rocket than it was before the Challenger accident. – Sally Ride

135784. The stars don’t look bigger, but they do look brighter. – Sally Ride

135794. All adventures, especially into new territory, are scary. – Sally Ride

135795. Because I was a tennis player, Billie Jean King was a hero of mine. – Sally Ride

135797. But when I wasn’t working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth. – Sally Ride

135798. My background is in physics, so I was the mission specialist, who is sort of like the flight engineer on an airplane. – Sally Ride

135799. Even though NASA tries to simulate launch, and we practice in simulators, it’s not the same – it’s not even close to the same. – Sally Ride

135800. No, I think most astronauts recognize that the space shuttle program is very high-risk, and are prepared for accidents. – Sally Ride

135801. I didn’t really decide that I wanted to be an astronaut for sure until the end of college. – Sally Ride

135802. I do a lot of running and hiking, and I also collect stamps – space stamps and Olympics stamps. – Sally Ride

135822. I feel as though I have lived many lives, experienced the heights and depths of each and like the waves of the ocean, never known rest. Throughout the years, I have looked always for the unusual, for the wonderful, for the mysteries at the heart of life. – Leni Riefenstahl

135823. I set about seeking a thread, a theme, a style, in the realm of legend. Something that might allow me to give free rein to my juvenile sense of romanticism and the beautiful image. – Leni Riefenstahl

135824. I want to see, that’s all. This is my life. I want to see. – Leni Riefenstahl

135825. Reality doesn’t interest me. – Leni Riefenstahl

135826. The applause was so loud and insistent that I had to respond with several encores. I was numb with happiness, when it was over, I knew that this alone must be my life and my world. – Leni Riefenstahl

135827. Through my optimism I naturally prefer and capture the beauty in life. – Leni Riefenstahl

135828. I am fascinated by what is beautiful, strong, healthy, what is living. I seek harmony. – Leni Riefenstahl

135829. America is not only big and rich, it is mysterious; and its capacity for the humorous or ironical concealment of its interests matches that of the legendary inscrutable Chinese. – David Riesman

135830. If you want to get out of medicine the fullest enjoyment, be students all your lives. – David Riesman

135831. The idea that men are created free and equal is both true and misleading: men are created different; they lose their social freedom and their individual autonomy in seeking to become like each other. – David Riesman

135832. Why, I ask, isn’t it possible that advertising as a whole is a fantastic fraud, presenting an image of America taken seriously by no one, least of all by the advertising men who create it? – David Riesman

135833. Here we are 17 years later. Those agencies never did come through. – Jeremy Rifkin

135834. If your corn has a herbicide-tolerant gene, it means you can spray your herbicides and kill the weeds; you won’t kill your corn because it’s producing a gene that makes it tolerant of the herbicide. – Jeremy Rifkin

135835. I know quite a few farmers all over the United States who have tried this and have said the opposite, that they have to use more herbicides, not less. The same holds true with BT. – Jeremy Rifkin

135836. I wanted to make sure that this be the first scientific and technology revolution in history in which the public thoroughly discussed all the potential benefits and all the potential harms, in advance of the technology coming online and running its course. – Jeremy Rifkin

135837. Back in the mid-1980s, congressional hearings were held after we brought this litigation, and held up the first experiment. At that time, I went in front of Congress, along with the major agencies involved with this. – Jeremy Rifkin

135838. Back in 1983, the United States government approved the release of the first genetically modified organism. In this case, it was a bacteria that prevents frost on food crops. – Jeremy Rifkin

135839. A refuge is supposed to prevent what? The genes from flowing out of sight? This refuge idea won’t stop insects from moving across boundaries. That’s absurd. – Jeremy Rifkin

135840. Europe will not accept genetically modified foods. It doesn’t make any difference in the final analysis what Brussels does, what Washington does, or what the World Trade Organization does. – Jeremy Rifkin

135841. What the public needs to understand is that these new technologies, especially in recombinant DNA technology, allow scientists to bypass biological boundaries altogether. – Jeremy Rifkin

135842. The electronic media introduced this idea to the larger audience very, very quickly. We spent years and years and years meeting with activists all over Europe to lay the groundwork for a political response, as we did here. – Jeremy Rifkin

135843. What I’m suggesting to you is that this could be a renaissance. We may be on the cusp of a future which could provide a tremendous leap forward for humanity. – Jeremy Rifkin

135844. When we seed millions of acres of land with these plants, what happens to foraging birds, to insects, to microbes, to the other animals, when they come in contact and digest plants that are producing materials ranging from plastics to vaccines to pharmaceutical products? – Jeremy Rifkin

135845. We now have an opportunity, though, to do something we didn’t do in the industrial age, and that is to get a leg up on this, to bring the public in quickly, to have an informed debate. – Jeremy Rifkin

135846. We are entering a new phase in human history – one in which fewer and fewer workers will be needed to produce the goods and services for the global population. – Jeremy Rifkin

135847. We are already producing enough food to feed the world. We already have technology in place that allows us to produce more than we can find a market for. – Jeremy Rifkin

135848. They’re now turning those seeds into intellectual property, so they have a virtual lock on the seeds upon which we all depend for our food and survival. – Jeremy Rifkin

135849. The public should know that the liability issues here have yet to be resolved, or even raised. If you’re a farmer and you’re growing a genetically engineering food crop, those genes are going to flow to the other farm. – Jeremy Rifkin

135850. The position I took at the time was that we hadn’t really examined any of the potential environmental consequences of introducing genetically modified organisms. – Jeremy Rifkin

135851. The interesting thing is, while we die of diseases of affluence from eating all these fatty meats, our poor brethren in the developing world die of diseases of poverty, because the land is not used now to grow food grain for their families. – Jeremy Rifkin

135852. You can eliminate, for example, a Brazil nut gene if you know that it will create an allergenic effect. – Jeremy Rifkin

135853. The industry’s not stupid. The industry knows that if those foods are labeled “genetically engineered,” the public will shy away and won’t take them. – Jeremy Rifkin

135854. What’s different here is that we have now technologies that allow these life science companies to bypass classical breeding. That’s what makes it both powerful and exciting. – Jeremy Rifkin

135855. The antitrust litigation currently in the federal courts in the U.S. against Monsanto will be the test case in the life sciences, just as the Microsoft case was the test case in the information sciences. – Jeremy Rifkin

135856. The American public is not aware that there might be potential allergenic and toxic reactions. With regular food, at least people know which foods they have an allergy to. – Jeremy Rifkin

135857. The 10 largest antitrust law firms in the United States have gone into the federal courts charging Monsanto with creating a global conspiracy in violation of the antitrust laws, to control the global market in seeds. – Jeremy Rifkin

135858. So my attorneys brought litigation in the U.S. federal courts. The judge ruled in our favor. – Jeremy Rifkin

135859. One thing I’ve learned over these last 30 or 40 years is that people make history. There’s no fait accompli to any of this. – Jeremy Rifkin

135860. Many of the mainstream agricultural scientists, especially at the agricultural schools, but at all of our major universities, are tied into all sorts of contractual relationships and consulting relationships with the life science companies. – Jeremy Rifkin

135861. Many of the genetically modified foods will be safe, I’m sure. Will most of them be safe? Nobody knows. – Jeremy Rifkin

135862. It may be that everything the life science companies are telling us will turn out to be right, and there’s no problem here whatsoever. That defies logic. – Jeremy Rifkin

135863. In this country, the health concerns and the environmental concerns are as deep as in Europe. All the surveys show that. But here, we didn’t have the cultural dimension. This is a fast-food culture. – Jeremy Rifkin

135864. The insurance companies aren’t covering that. Should Monsanto be liable for these losses? Should the state government? Who’s going to cover the losses? The fact is, here’s an industry with no long-term liability in place. – Jeremy Rifkin

135865. We were making the first step out of the age of chemistry and physics, and into the age of biology. – Jeremy Rifkin

135866. So it really does have a sort of bittersweet quality. Kids like to have adventures and to believe they can fly, but there’s also that fear about people leaving you. – Cathy Rigby

135867. Seeing the show is like a visit to the fountain of youth for parents and the children. – Cathy Rigby

135868. I’ll talk to kids afterward and somebody will always say, ‘I’ll leave my bedroom window open for you. – Cathy Rigby

135869. Yes, well, you are quite camp, so I guess that he could see the point of you. – Diana Rigg

135870. Maybe at this stage in my career, it’s from that younger generation that I have most to learn. – Diana Rigg

135871. I made a bit of a stink. At the time, it was considered very bad form. – Diana Rigg

135872. I hope there’s a tinge of disgrace about me. Hopefully, there’s one good scandal left in me yet. – Diana Rigg

135873. They do say that the profession gets increasingly difficult, but my career seems to have been inside out. I’m playing the biggest parts now that I’m older. That’s probably right, because I wasn’t ready for them before. – Diana Rigg

135874. If I can’t play for big money, I play for a little money. And if I can’t play for a little money, I stay in bed that day. – Bobby Riggs

135876. If I am to be a chauvinist pig, I want to be the number one pig. – Bobby Riggs

135877. Billie and I did wonders for women’s tennis. They owe me a piece of their checks. – Bobby Riggs

135878. I never eat salad. I make sure I don’t put a lot of junk into my system, but I hate vegetables! – Rihanna

135879. When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that’s a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that’s the thrill in fashion. – Rihanna

135880. People think, because we’re young, we aren’t complex, but that’s not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might. – Rihanna

135881. Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it. – Rihanna

135882. Music is in my DNA! – Rihanna

135883. It’s every girl’s dream to be a cover girl! – Rihanna

135884. When I was fourteen and first started going out, I always wanted to be the opposite of everyone else. So I would go to the club in a polo T-shirt and pants and sneakers and a hat on backward, just so I would not be dressed like other girls. – Rihanna

135885. It is one thing to record an album but it’s a huge difference when people play it and listen to it and embrace it the way that I do. It has always been my dream to get my music out to the world and have people hear it. – Rihanna

135886. When I cut my hair, the whole sound changed, my style changed. – Rihanna

135887. I love reading people. I really enjoy watching, observing, and being able to figure out a person, the reason they wore that dress, the reason they smell the way they do. – Rihanna

135888. I like to be creative. – Rihanna

135889. I hate going to the gym and doing it the old-fashioned way. I hate anything that’s too straightforward, too routine, too familiar. I get bored really, really quickly. – Rihanna

135890. I am a child but I have to think and act like a woman, this business forces you to. – Rihanna

135891. I always keep my guard up with guys and I guess that can get in the way sometimes. I can make them go through hell. – Rihanna

135896. I’d look at one of my stonecutters hammering away at the rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet, at the hundred and first blow it would split in two, and I knew it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before. – Jacob August Riis

135897. Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before. – Jacob August Riis

135902. The opponents of my budget propose taking $200 million out of our classrooms and instead spending it on a larger school employee pay raise. Our focus should be on making sure our children come first. – Bob Riley

135903. One person can make a difference. In fact, it’s not only possible for one person to make a difference, it’s essential that one person makes a difference. And believe it or not, that person is you. – Bob Riley

135904. Nothing is worse, or more of a breach of the social contract between citizen and state, than for government officials, bureaucrats and agencies to waste the money entrusted to them by the people they serve. – Bob Riley

135909. The success of our economy shouldn’t determine the success of our schools. – Bob Riley

135910. There is no longer time for statements like “if only” or “we can’t.” We must and we will succeed. The only question now is how and when. I believe the time is now. – Bob Riley

135916. When money follows results – we will get more results for our money. – Bob Riley

135917. Half a world away nations that once lived under oppression and tyranny are now budding democracies due in large part to America ‘s leadership and the sacrifices of our military. – Bob Riley

135918. For too long, we have focused on our differences – in our politics and backgrounds, in our race and beliefs – rather than cherishing the unity and pride that binds us together. – Bob Riley

135923. However, before we make the mistake of patting ourselves on the back, let’s remember: government does not create jobs. It only helps create the conditions that make jobs more or less likely. The real credit for our economic renewal belongs to the people of Alabama . – Bob Riley

135924. I ask you: turn a deaf ear to the special interests. Let politics stand down for a while. don’t waste anytime thinking about future elections until we’ve done our jobs here. – Bob Riley

135925. I have long believed that sacrifice is the pinnacle of patriotism. – Bob Riley

135926. I hope we never get to the point that we put ourselves in Jesus’ place. But when I read the New Testament basically, we get three mandates: to love God, to love each other, and to take care of the least among us. And I think this is at least a step in the right direction. – Bob Riley

135927. If we are going to save this country, if we are going to reestablish that belief in God, it’s up to us. If we don’t do it, who will? – Bob Riley

135928. In a time of tight budgets, difficult choices have to be made. We must make sure our very limited resources are spent on priorities. I believe we should have no higher priority than investing in our children’s classrooms and in their future. – Bob Riley

135929. Ladies and gentlemen: There can be no greater investment in Alabama’s future than an investment in education. – Bob Riley

135930. God looked down on this country because this country was founded on the rock and that rock was our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And when the storms came and the rains came, the rock, it did not move. But over the last 15 or 20 years, something began to erode. – Bob Riley

135933. There was a time when meanings were focused and reality could be fixed; when that sort of belief disappeared, things became uncertain and open to interpretation. – Bridget Riley

135934. Painting is, I think, inevitably an archaic activity and one that depends on spiritual values. – Bridget Riley

135968. Don’t let other people tell you what you want. – Pat Riley

135969. Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing! – Pat Riley

135979. So, essentially my contribution was to introduce repetition into Western music as the main ingredient without any melody over it, without anything just repeated patterns, musical patterns. – Terry Riley

135980. Out of doing all that experimentation with sound I decided I wanted to do it with live musicians. To take repetition, take music fragments and make it live. Musicians would be able to play it and create this kind of abstract fabric of sound. – Terry Riley

135981. Music can also be a sensual pleasure, like eating food or sex. But its highest vibration for me is that point of taking us to a real understanding of something in our nature which we can very rarely get at. It is a spiritual state of oneness. – Terry Riley

135987. Essentially my contribution was to introduce repetition into Western music as the main ingredient without any melody over it, without anything just repeated patterns, musical patterns. – Terry Riley

135988. Acceleration is finite, I think according to some laws of physics. – Terry Riley

135989. Well I guess my music came to prominence around one piece called ‘In C’ which I wrote in 1964 at that time it was called ‘The Global Villages for Symphonic Pieces’, because it was a piece built out of 53 simple patterns and the structure was new to music at that time. – Terry Riley

135990. It is important that we are coming up on the millennium because what I am experiencing, just being one person out of billions, is the feeling of acceleration. I experience this through my contact with other people. – Terry Riley
