141392. We believe a renewed commitment to limited government will unshackle our economy and create millions of new jobs and opportunities for all people, of every background, to succeed and prosper. Under this approach, the spirit of initiative – not political clout – determines who succeeds. – Paul Ryan

141393. We believe that the government has an important role to create the conditions that promote entrepreneurship, upward mobility, and individual responsibility. – Paul Ryan

141394. We believe, as our founders did, that ‘the pursuit of happiness’ depends upon individual liberty; and individual liberty requires limited government. – Paul Ryan

141395. We do not have a functioning market in the true sense of the word in health care. That’s a layer of transparency that’s sorely needed in America. – Paul Ryan

141396. We need leadership. We don’t need a doubling down on the failed politics of the past. – Paul Ryan

141397. We’re saying no changes for Medicare for people above the age of 55. And in order to keep the promise to current seniors who’ve already retired and organized their lives around this program, you have to reform it for the next generation. – Paul Ryan

141398. What matters to me is that I do what I think is right and I see, I’m a numbers guy, that’s my attitude. I know we have a debt tsunami coming, we are bankrupting this country and I’m in a position where I can actually advance ideas to prevent that from happening. That’s exactly what I should be doing. – Paul Ryan

141399. What we heard today was not fiscal leadership from our Commander-in-Chief, what we heard today was a political broadside from our Campaigner-in-Chief. – Paul Ryan

141400. Our debt is out of control. What was a fiscal challenge is now a fiscal crisis. We cannot deny it; instead we must, as Americans, confront it responsibly. And that is exactly what Republicans pledge to do. – Paul Ryan

141401. We need to reclaim our American system of limited government, low taxes, reasonable regulations, and sound money, which has blessed us with unprecedented prosperity. And it has done more to help the poor than any other economic system ever designed. – Paul Ryan

141402. By failing seriously to confront the most predicable economic crisis in our nation’s history, the President’s policies are committing us and our children to a diminished future. – Paul Ryan

141403. Republicans have offered dozens of comprehensive healthcare plans many of which achieve comprehensive healthcare reform without breaking what’s working in healthcare. We want to fix what’s broken in healthcare. – Paul Ryan

141404. Since taking office, President Obama has signed into law spending increases of nearly 25 percent for domestic government agencies – an 84 percent increase when you include the failed stimulus. All of this new government spending was sold as ‘investment.’ – Paul Ryan

141405. Borrowing and spending is not the way to prosperity. – Paul Ryan

141406. Do we believe that the goal of government is to promote equal opportunity for all Americans to make the most of their lives? Or, do we now believe that government’s role is to equalize the results of peoples lives? – Paul Ryan

141407. Exploiting people’s emotions of fear, envy and anxiety is not hope, it’s not change, it’s partisanship. We don’t need partisanship. We don’t need demagoguery, we need solutions. – Paul Ryan

141408. Here’s the problem if you keep raising tax rates: You slow down economic growth. – Paul Ryan

141409. Hiding spending does not reduce spending. – Paul Ryan

141410. I don’t consult polls to tell me what my principles are or what our policies should be. – Paul Ryan

141411. I don’t want to get into the ‘who’s a hostage-taker’ discussion here, but what is the estate tax? It’s a double tax on death. Economists will tell you that it’s really not a tax that soaks the rich, but it’s a tax on capital that deprives business investment and therefore job creation. – Paul Ryan

141412. If we didn’t propose these reforms, we would not have proposed a budget that got the debt under control. – Paul Ryan

141413. If we don’t make tough decisions today our children are going to have to make much, much tougher decisions tomorrow. – Paul Ryan

141414. If you’re running for president, you’ve got to do a lot of things to line up a candidacy. I’ve not done any of those things. It’s not my plan. My plan is to be a good chairman of the House Budget Committee and fight for the fiscal sanity of this nation. – Paul Ryan

141415. Look, I am not worried about Washington cutting too much spending too fast. I mean, the kinds of spending cuts we’re talking about just right now are $100 billion out of a $3.7 trillion budget. – Paul Ryan

141416. Look, of course people are scared of entitlement reform because every time you put entitlement reform out there, the other party uses it as a political weapon against you. – Paul Ryan

141417. Our founders got it right when they wrote in the Declaration of Independence that our rights come from nature and nature’s God, not from government. – Paul Ryan

141418. Look, only in Washington is not raising taxes considered a tax cut. Nobody’s getting a tax cut here. We’re not cutting taxes. We’re preventing tax increases from occurring. – Paul Ryan

141419. Are we interested in treating the symptoms of poverty and economic stagnation through income redistribution and class warfare, or do we want to go at the root causes of poverty and economic stagnation by promoting pro-growth policies that promote prosperity? – Paul Ryan

141420. Look, the president is elected to lead and to face the country’s biggest challenges. The country’s biggest challenge domestically speaking, no doubt about it, is a debt crisis, and I’m really hoping that he is going to give us a budget that tackles this debt crisis. – Paul Ryan

141421. If borrowing and spending all this money led to more jobs than we would be at full employment already. – Paul Ryan

141422. I often concentrate on the eyes and lips, they are great indicators of mood and feeling, and I find that I can project character into my portraits by bringing the viewer’s attention to these areas. – Robert Ryan

141423. I sometimes use a lot of light greens and greys when I feel there is sadness in the painting. – Robert Ryan

141424. I know intuitively when the work is right, no training can teach you this, it is simply a matter of feeling. – Robert Ryan

141425. The payment for sins can be delayed. But they can’t be avoided. – Shawn Ryan

141426. It is like our foreign policy has attention deficit disorder. – Tim Ryan

141427. While the political debate over abortion will continue for a very long time, the federal government can and should be doing more to support programs and services that provide women with better options. – Tim Ryan

141428. It’s very difficult to break into motion pictures, but it’s oddly easier for directors today because of independent films and cable, who have inherited for the most part those films of substance that the studios are reluctant to finance. – Mark Rydell

141429. Yes, there are directors I admire, the mavericks. Altman. There are many good directors. – Mark Rydell

141430. Well you’re talking about a long career, a lot of movies, a lot of stars. I guess working with Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn was a great privilege. – Mark Rydell

141431. Well you know, Woody doesn’t rehearse, as opposed to my own method of directing where I really work with actors around a round table for weeks, examining the values of the material, so his technique is very different. – Mark Rydell

141432. There’s evidence of a social decline in direct proportion to technology and the industrialization of the motion picture industry. – Mark Rydell

141433. I don’t know a lot of agents like Al Hack. – Mark Rydell

141434. There are always at least five good films at the end of the year to get nominated, but generally speaking nowadays, it’s more of the independent films that are recognized. – Mark Rydell

141435. Now a movie goes out to two, three thousand theaters and by Friday night at 10 o’clock they know if you are in or out. That desperate competition is, I think, horrendous. It’s awful. – Mark Rydell

141436. No one turns down a film with Woody; it’s something everyone wants in their career as an important moment. He’s such a comedic genius, without question, so I was thrilled. – Mark Rydell

141437. He was a psychotic. He was a borderline psychotic. He was a terrific, sensational actor, with a magical screen presence, you couldn’t keep your eyes off him, but he was paranoid. He was sure everybody was out to get him. – Mark Rydell

141438. It’s sad – it’s sad for us old enough to remember when directors ruled, and films were substantially better than they are today. But it’s hard to argue with those kinds of grosses. – Mark Rydell

141439. It’s kind of interesting to be a director who is all of a sudden being an actor playing an agent. This is my whole world! – Mark Rydell

141440. It perhaps has a chance, a commercial chance, this film. It’s funny, it’s charming, the idea is original, it’s unusual and it makes fun of the movie industry in a way that it needs to be poked fun at. – Mark Rydell

141441. I long for the days when grosses were not even known. There was no weekend competition. – Mark Rydell

141442. He’s very alive in a scene. He’s a very good actor to act with. Even though through most of the picture he’s blind, there are many places early in the picture I got to be with him before he was blind. Like convincing him in the office to do the picture. – Mark Rydell

141443. It always amazed me that he was able to do it, and that Orson Welles was able to do it. I never understood it because the talents are absolutely opposite – polar opposites. – Mark Rydell

141444. It’s the unusual leading man. Most of the Hollywood leading men are powerful and capable and strong, heroes. He has this vulnerability, he’s fragile, he struggles to find a way to live from day to day that we can identify with, that we can understand. – Mark Rydell

141445. My dad took me to all the best rock and punk shows when I was growing up and music has always been a part of my life. So I’m very interested in the music scene and I suppose that’s why I’ve ended up going out with musicians. Dave Pirner is still one of my best friends. – Winona Ryder

141446. Money doesn’t matter on a deeply personal level. It doesn’t make you feel any happier. But of course I am very aware that I don’t have to worry about earning a living or about those very important practical things that most people have to worry about on a very real level. – Winona Ryder

141447. It’s really good to be able to think about past loves without having a pit in my stomach, or cringing or feeling heart-broken, or like they hate you. Don’t you think? – Winona Ryder

141448. People think that they just want movies like Pretty Woman, when really they – at least the ones that I know personally – have been waiting for something that doesn’t completely insult them. – Winona Ryder

141449. You’ve got to grow up sometime. – Winona Ryder

141450. When you finally accept that it’s OK not to have answers and it’s OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being. – Winona Ryder

141451. It’s just people should realize that the celebrity aspect of being an actor is very rarely enjoyable for people like me who would always rather go unnoticed and disappear into the crowd. – Winona Ryder

141452. It’s part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what’s been printed about me. – Winona Ryder

141453. Remember, I’m the kind of kid who used to get stuffed into a locker by school bullies. I’ve never felt like I’m a big star at any level of my life. – Winona Ryder

141454. That’s an aspect of this business which can be very frustrating and aggravating. Most of what is written about you is wrong and so much of what does get printed is often about personal things that you don’t want to have other people read about. – Winona Ryder

141455. Weird people follow you in the streets, you can’t sit alone in a restaurant or a cafe and read a book in peace, and I think everybody values those moments of being alone. – Winona Ryder

141456. You can’t pay enough money to… cure that feeling of being broken and confused. – Winona Ryder

141457. You go through spells where you feel that maybe you’re too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that. – Winona Ryder

141458. You try to get out there and live. I’ve always had good friends who’ve been very supportive and help make me feel good and grounded because I’ve never felt attached to the film industry. – Winona Ryder

141459. If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said ‘the ugly girl’. – Winona Ryder

141460. There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy. I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression. – Winona Ryder

141461. I don’t hang out with agents and producers and I’m not into the business side at all. – Winona Ryder

141462. It’s also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I’m not the only actress out there, and good parts just don’t fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the films I’ve made recently and so I’m pretty positive about the future. – Winona Ryder

141463. It’s an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk. – Winona Ryder

141464. Break-ups are hard for anybody, but it’s particularly tough when it’s being documented and you see the person’s picture everywhere. Most people don’t have that added problem when they break up with someone. – Winona Ryder

141465. I don’t believe I am influencing anybody but myself. – Winona Ryder

141466. I feel my best when I’m happy. – Winona Ryder

141467. I have this sense that I didn’t really start growing up until my twenties. – Winona Ryder

141468. I think I’m learning to be bolder in my career choices and be more confident in my personal life. I haven’t always felt very secure as an individual, but now I feel I certain confidence and sense of self that gets me through the day a lot better than before. – Winona Ryder

141469. I was regarded as the school freak which further reinforced a lot of inhibitions and doubts I had about myself. I was a shy, frightened teenager for a long time. – Winona Ryder

141470. I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old. – Winona Ryder

141471. I’m not into older guys. To tell you the truth, Richard Gere is not the sexiest man alive, in my book. – Winona Ryder

141472. I’m not into wrinkles. – Winona Ryder

141473. I’m quite comfortable looking at myself in movies, probably because I’ve been doing it for so long, since I was a kid. So I sort of watched myself grow up and go through adolescence, like, basically on camera. – Winona Ryder

141474. I’ve learned that it’s OK to be flawed. – Winona Ryder

141475. But I’ve always felt a need to have a life which is completely separate – at least as far as possible – from the kind of illusory lifestyle that comes with being a celebrity. – Winona Ryder

141476. So there’s a lot of people tied into believing that the traditional response to the authorship question. In terms of actors, some people get very angry about it. – Mark Rylance

141477. It’s an intuitive exercise to do a Shakespeare play and to go through a Shakespeare play. – Mark Rylance

141478. You know, I don’t think you need to be educated to be a great actor. – Mark Rylance

141479. There have been more books alone written about Hamlet than have been written about the Bible. – Mark Rylance

141480. Our job is to make manifest the story, to be it. In a sense, the theatre is such a big star itself, bigger than any Shakespearean actor I could hire, that we should take the opportunity to fill it with voice and verse and movement, not interpretation. – Mark Rylance

141481. Moments are incredible, but in my fantasy mind I see a Globe company which is renowned throughout the world for what it does with pure storytelling. So that people come and say: it’s not just the building, it’s the only place you can hear this kind of work. – Mark Rylance

141482. It’s difficult for me to say, but I don’t think the sex scenes are particularly erotic. – Mark Rylance

141483. And it is a very beautiful idea, and possibly true, that a common man from Stratford with a common education was able to write these plays. – Mark Rylance

141484. I think that was very important to Bacon… personally. I think he went to great efforts to get a house for the Stratford man, to make it so difficult for us to prove that it was Francis Bacon, because it is very difficult to prove. – Mark Rylance

141485. Well, my wife always says to me, and I think it’s true, it’s very difficult for us to understand the Elizabethan understanding and enjoyment and perception of form as it is to say… it would be for them to understand computers or going to the moon or something. – Mark Rylance

141486. And people do enjoy the plays at completely different levels. And, likewise, they enjoy the authorship question… at completely different levels. – Mark Rylance

141487. Burleigh, absolutely; and a lot about Elizabeth. I mean I found when I play Henry V a lot of connections with the hidden history of the connection between Francis Bacon and Elizabeth. – Mark Rylance

141488. But I don’t sit down at dinner and have clever ideas. – Mark Rylance

141489. But I find with Francis Bacon, some of the things were in the place, and someone who was connected with these schools of thought, and someone who had a motivation that equals the scope of the comedy and the tragedy in the plays. – Mark Rylance

141490. But to me I find Francis Bacon the most likely candidate to be the author. – Mark Rylance

141491. Great actors try to dismiss all ideas from their conscious mind in order to provide an experience that is real. – Mark Rylance

141492. Man need not be degraded to a machine by being denied to be a ghost in a machine. – Gilbert Ryle

141493. We enjoy sailing small boats, two of which I have designed and built myself. – Martin Ryle

141494. During the war years I worked on the development of radar and other radio systems for the R.A.F. and, though gaining much in engineering experience and in understanding people, rapidly forgot most of the physics I had learned. – Martin Ryle

141495. I was born on September 27, 1918, the second of five children. – Martin Ryle

141496. I was educated at Bradfield College and Oxford, where I graduated in 1939. – Martin Ryle

141497. In 1947 I married Rowena Palmer, and we have two daughters, Alison and Claire, and a son, John. – Martin Ryle

141498. In 1948 I was appointed to a Lectureship in Physics and in 1949 elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College. – Martin Ryle

141499. In 1959 the University recognized our work by appointing me to a new Chair of Radio Astronomy. – Martin Ryle

141500. Money will never make you happy and happy will never make you money. – Morrie Ryskind

141501. Say, the next time I see you, remind me not to talk to you, will you? – Morrie Ryskind

141502. Today, we stand as a united country and are much closer to the ideals set forth in our Constitution that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. – Jim Ryun

141503. One would expect that private property taken by eminent domain would become land available for public use such as parks and roads. Unfortunately, this decision creates a loophole for government to manipulate the definition of public use simply to generate greater tax revenue. – Jim Ryun

141504. Our budget works to reduce and eliminate the risk of attacks at our ports, rails, in the skies, our food supply and roads by allowing for increases in many of the programs and agencies to help protect these important areas of commerce and travel. – Jim Ryun

141505. Protection of private property is a fundamental right protected in a strong democracy. – Jim Ryun

141506. Skyrocketing insurance premiums are debilitating our Nation’s health care delivery system and liability insurers are either leaving the market or raising rates to excessive levels. – Jim Ryun

141507. The majority of Americans receive health insurance coverage through their employers, but with rising health care costs, many small businesses can no longer afford to provide coverage for their employees. – Jim Ryun

141508. The oath of renunciation and allegiance is a solemn vow taken by thousands of immigrants each year to become a United States citizen. The oath is the fundamental statement of allegiance to the United States, and this allegiance is what unites America. – Jim Ryun

141509. To my knowledge, the Department of Homeland Security has focused on detection devices that are large, expensive, use a large amount of energy, and cannot easily be placed in or on a shipping container. – Jim Ryun

141510. We have a strong agricultural heritage in Kansas. – Jim Ryun

141511. While there are no easy solutions to this problem, the Deficit Reduction Act gets us started in the right direction by beginning with the most obvious, commonsense reforms to save taxpayer dollars. – Jim Ryun

141512. With this announcement today, the Army has made it clear what we have known all along – that Fort Riley is truly the crown jewel of the United States Army. – Jim Ryun

141513. Yesterday I, along with a bipartisan Congressional Delegation of lawmakers, inspected the detention facilities at Guantanamo used to house individuals detained in the War on Terrorism. – Jim Ryun

141514. Mr. Speaker, we have reached a point in history where some have forgotten that it is the family, not the government, that is the fundamental building block of our society. – Jim Ryun

141515. By reducing our dependence of foreign oil and increasing alternative energy sources such as ethanol, we can begin to bring down prices at the pumps, create thousands of new jobs and bring a much needed boost to our economy. – Jim Ryun

141516. The United States is not a nation based upon race, creed, or religion – we are a nation based upon our loyalty and allegiance to our country and her principles. – Jim Ryun

141517. I am committed to protecting our country against the threat of terrorism. – Jim Ryun

141518. Mr. Speaker, the goal of stem cell research should be to help our fellow human beings. The debate on this issue has, unfortunately, moved into dangerous unethical territory when perfectly moral alternatives exist. – Jim Ryun

141519. After the horrific attacks of September 11th, it was evident that our Government needed to be transformed to meet the new challenges of this dangerous world. – Jim Ryun

141520. By finding waste and abuse in entitlement programs, and eliminating it, we can ensure that the funds that are put into these programs go to the people that need them the most. – Jim Ryun

141521. Guantanamo allows us to secure dangerous detainees without the risk of escape, while at the same time providing us with valuable intelligence information on how best to proceed in the war against terror and prevent future attacks. – Jim Ryun

141522. Adult stem cells have shown great potential and have effectively helped patients. Another alternative is cord-blood stem cells. These are a neglected resource that could be used to treat a diverse body of people. – Jim Ryun

141523. I am concerned about the growing problem of sexual abuse and exploitation of our children. – Jim Ryun

141524. I was most impressed with the professionalism of our soldiers stationed there, and I am now more confident than ever that that the operations at Guantanamo are being conducted in a humane and necessary manner. – Jim Ryun

141525. In a polling conducted by the Wall Street Journal, 11 out of 12 Americans said they oppose the taking of private property, even if it is for public economic good. – Jim Ryun

141527. In turn, more physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers are severely limiting their practices, moving to other states, or simply not providing care. – Jim Ryun

141528. Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. – Jim Ryun

141529. Mr. Chairman, on September 11, we were attacked by terrorists who took advantage of weaknesses in our border security. After infiltrating our country, the terrorists were able to conceal their real identities, and thereby plot their attacks without fear of being apprehended. – Jim Ryun

141530. As I said a moment ago, there is no higher priority in our budget, or certainly in the budgets of the past few years, than providing for what is needed for the protection and security of our country and support of our troops. – Jim Ryun

141531. VX is now a dead issue… It is political, really. – Saadi

141537. The beloved of the Almighty are: the rich who have the humility of the poor, and the poor who have the magnanimity of the rich. – Saadi

141538. Oman overall has great animal and plant biodiversity because it has mountains, desert, coastal areas and rich coral reefs. – Saadi

141544. I fear God and next to God I mostly fear them that fear him not. – Saadi

141545. Solidarity was the best thing which happened in the 20th century. – Mikhail Saakashvili

141547. Understandably, no peace can sustained when people continue to suffer from hunger, lack of jobs, lack of basic public services – and most of all – lack of opportunity or hope. – Mikhail Saakashvili

141548. Keeping small nations enslaved because of the deals between the great nations or because of any pragmatic considerations that might have been there are totally unacceptable. – Mikhail Saakashvili

141549. It is time we Georgians did not depend only on others, it is time we asked what Georgia will do for the world. – Mikhail Saakashvili

141551. Georgia does not need Russia as an enemy. – Mikhail Saakashvili

141552. For the first time in 15 years, Georgia this winter has its electric power guaranteed without deficit. This is a historic achievement. – Mikhail Saakashvili

141560. It was very hard for me to practice and enjoy my tennis, and I didn’t know the why, so I worked with psychologists to try and see what was happening. They pushed me really hard. – Gabriela Sabatini

141561. It’s a great moment for Argentinean tennis, more on the men’s side. I would like to see more on the women’s side. I think we have to work a little bit more on that. – Gabriela Sabatini

141562. It’s amazing, it doesn’t feel like it has been 10 years since retirement. – Gabriela Sabatini

141563. Now I have the bravery to do fine things. – Gabriela Sabatini

141564. Regarding the Hall of Fame, when they decided I was going to be one of the possible candidates, when I heard that, I was so thrilled. You’re always hoping for something like that. – Gabriela Sabatini

141565. That was one of those moments where I felt so confident. I played three matches in the same day. – Gabriela Sabatini

141566. There were so much affairs of me created by the media… of course I was not always a true single. I had some relations, once also to a famous pop star. – Gabriela Sabatini

141567. What these guys are doing is great for Argentinean tennis. This is motivating other people. – Gabriela Sabatini

141568. I was a very shy and introverted person, and it was hard for me to talk to people and make relationships. – Gabriela Sabatini

141569. When I finally held the trophy, it was just how I imagined it would be. – Gabriela Sabatini

141570. I was feeling a lot of confidence, so I wanted to take advantage of that and keep playing. – Gabriela Sabatini

141571. When I got to match point in the final I was afraid I’d be a little nervous, but I just said, You have to stay focused, just think about what you have to do. – Gabriela Sabatini

141572. Tennis has had a very positive impact on my life. – Gabriela Sabatini

141573. I felt nobody would understand what was going on in my mind. – Gabriela Sabatini

141574. I was formerly so stuck into plans. I can now live more spontaneously. This I want not yet to give away. – Gabriela Sabatini

141575. For me retiring wasn’t hard once I knew that that was the decision I was going to make. – Gabriela Sabatini

141576. I can’t laugh, be happy, present myself at any prize and also win on the centre court. – Gabriela Sabatini

141577. I didn’t know what was going through my mind. – Gabriela Sabatini

141578. I have an office in Argentina, I go there every day, so I work. – Gabriela Sabatini

141579. I lost more then 6 kilograms when I ceased with the top sport. That were all muscles. They are now gone. – Gabriela Sabatini

141580. I never thought tennis was going to give me so much satisfaction. – Gabriela Sabatini

141581. I want not, that everybody hears about. Then I can’t longer be myself. – Gabriela Sabatini

141582. I served, she came to the net, it was a passing shot. – Gabriela Sabatini

141583. I think in the lifetime of a tennis player there are many times where you feel that tremendous confidence. – Gabriela Sabatini

141584. I travel a lot to promote the perfumes and to do the commercials. – Gabriela Sabatini

141585. I want children, but at the moment the liberty I have now finally, has a far too high value. – Gabriela Sabatini

141586. I played Mary Joe Fernandez in the semifinals. She was winning the first set. Second set was very close. I started to play this aggressive game. I think I surprised them. – Gabriela Sabatini

141587. I carried through well with my tennis. I got the respect by usage of the tennis racket. – Gabriela Sabatini

141588. He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad. – Rafael Sabatini

141590. Because of the structure of the contemporary American party system, every president is polarizing. – Larry J. Sabato

141591. I doubt God would want to touch America’s tax code, since it is already located in the third rung of Hell. – Larry J. Sabato

141592. Probably all the books I’ve ever written have been efforts to define the boundaries of humanity. – Fred Saberhagen

141593. Only towards the end of this process are any of the chapters in fully readable condition, a state of affairs that used to alarm my wife. But Joan’s got used to it. – Fred Saberhagen

141594. Mysteries I read for fun, so I will probably never write one, for fear of spoiling the fun. – Fred Saberhagen

141595. More immediately, I’m currently working on another Dracula in which there will be connections with ancient Egypt. That’s about as far as I want to go in commenting on current work. – Fred Saberhagen

141596. Research is of considerable importance in certain fields, such as science and history. – Fred Saberhagen

141597. My gut feeling is that paper and ink are going to be with us for a long time yet, and in substantial quantities, though certainly books are now going to be available in other forms. – Fred Saberhagen

141598. The advice would be the same for any kind of fiction. Keep writing, and keep sending things out, not to friends and relatives, but to people who have the power to buy. A lot of additional, useful tips could be added, but this is fundamental. – Fred Saberhagen

141599. The Berserkers have been with me for about forty years, and we’re not done yet. – Fred Saberhagen

141600. The comments I most appreciate come from ordinary readers who’ve happened on one of my books at some time of stress in their lives, and who actually credit the book with helping them through a bad time. It’s happened a few times in forty years. – Fred Saberhagen

141601. The same tools that make any writer good, plus a cheerful willingness to suspend belief. – Fred Saberhagen

141602. If people ask me for the ingredients of success, I say one is talent, two is stubbornness or determination, and third is sheer luck. You have to have two out of the three. Any two will probably do. – Fred Saberhagen

141603. There are interactions with characters within the game which I think are pretty neatly done considering the limitations that you have to work with. I mean, a computer can’t really generate a character that talks back and forth with you successfully. – Fred Saberhagen

141604. I guess if one set of my books was selling like Stephen King’s, and the other wasn’t selling at all, editors would want me to do the ones that sold like Stephen King’s. But they seem to be willing to let me pick what I want to do next. – Fred Saberhagen

141605. There’s a big overlap with the people you meet at the fantasy and science fiction cons. – Fred Saberhagen

141606. The Swords were still interesting but by then a cast of characters had started to appear and go on from book to book, and other things about the world began to feel constricting. And there were other things I wanted to do, so I closed the series up and stopped it. – Fred Saberhagen

141607. I doubt I’ll ever do another book collaboration; I’ve been spoiled. Roger and I both happened to move to New Mexico at about the same time, when we each had a family of young kids to raise. Socializing seemed to lead naturally to working together. – Fred Saberhagen

141608. I have some good stories yet to tell. – Fred Saberhagen

141609. I wrote speculative fiction because I loved to read it, and thought I could do better than some of the people who were getting published. – Fred Saberhagen

141610. And what we know, or think we know, about the universe of space and time is changing very quickly. – Fred Saberhagen

141611. I don’t know why a computer game can’t be an art form just as a puppet show or an opera is. I’m still interested in computer games as something I would like to work on someday. – Fred Saberhagen

141612. Actually ideas are everywhere. It’s the paperwork, that is, sitting down and thinking them into a coherent story, trying to find just the right words, that can and usually does get to be labor. – Fred Saberhagen

141613. I finally decided one day, reading science fiction magazines of the time, I could do at least as well as some of these people are doing. So I finally made a serious effort. – Fred Saberhagen

141614. I had immediate success in the sense that I sold something right off the bat. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake and it really wasn’t. I have drawers full of – or I did have – drawers full of rejection slips. – Fred Saberhagen

141615. I started writing seriously about 1960, at the fairly advanced age of 30. – Fred Saberhagen

141616. I suspect that writer’s block afflicts mainly people who have some stable and ample source of income outside of writing. So far it hasn’t been a problem. – Fred Saberhagen

141617. I wouldn’t like to just do one story or one type of stories all the time. – Fred Saberhagen

141618. At this stage, my chief professional goal is simply to keep on writing and making a living at it. – Fred Saberhagen

141619. I’d rather go to a place and spend a couple of months, get to know it, get to know the people. – Joe Sacco

141621. I’m not a good tourist, I don’t like tourism. – Joe Sacco

141622. It became clear to me that I had to push it toward a more representational way of drawing. – Joe Sacco

141623. It’s a visual world and people respond to visuals. – Joe Sacco

141624. Robert Crumb is an influence on how I draw, but not on the subject matter I take or my approach. One thing I do like about Crumb is that he’s chronicled his age, his times, and I think that is what artists should do. – Joe Sacco

141625. There’s probably one more story about Bosnia that I’d like to do, because I spent a fair amount of time on the Serb side of the lines, which isn’t apparent in the other books. – Joe Sacco

141626. When I was there, something clicked in my head; I found myself interviewing people, searching out facts and figures. Later on I became much more self-conscious of what I was doing. – Joe Sacco

141627. I’d much rather hang out in a cafe. That’s where things are really happening. – Joe Sacco

141628. With comics you can put interesting and solid information in a format that’s pretty palatable. – Joe Sacco

141629. My guide had a copy of Palestine on my last trip to Gaza. He’d bring it out and show people what I was trying to do. That usually went over pretty well. – Joe Sacco

141630. When I went to Bosnia, I was there to tell someone else’s story and I was more methodical. – Joe Sacco

141631. I don’t like just traveling in for a short time. I’ve done that before, because sometimes you work for magazines and they have a budget, and if you’re working for them, they want something by a certain time. – Joe Sacco

141632. I will interview bigwigs if I get the chance, but you are seldom surprised by people in power – you’ve got to get awfully damn close to get anything new. – Joe Sacco

141633. And, in some ways I like traveling, in other ways I’m sort of fed up by the whole notion. – Joe Sacco

141634. I don’t often go to a place just to check out all the cultural sites of a city. – Joe Sacco

141635. Oh, it’s essential. I mean, you have to – if I’m writing about the Middle East, I have to go there, and if possible, stay long enough to get a real feeling for what’s going on. – Joe Sacco

141636. I think any journalist who spends time in a place realizes that there are lots of stories around beyond their primary story. You meet so many interesting people and have all kinds of experiences. – Joe Sacco

141637. I think I’m generally a good listener anyway. – Joe Sacco

141638. I tried to draw people more realistically, but the figure I neglected to update was myself. – Joe Sacco

141639. I try to ask visual questions. I’ll ask what someone was wearing, if that seems relevant. If possible, I’ll walk over the same ground that they’re depicting. Of course, I can never get it precisely as it was. – Joe Sacco

141640. And I think I find, I know a lot of people around, in different cities, and so it’s not – it might sound strange – but it’s not that hard to say good-bye, because I know there’s other people where I’m going. I can sort of fit in in a lot of places. – Joe Sacco

141641. The debts are unaffordable. If they won’t cancel the debts I would suggest obstruction; you do it yourselves. – Jeffrey Sachs

141642. We’ve taken the view that if the rest of the world would democratize and create market economies, that would spread the benefits of prosperity around the world, and that it would enhance our own prosperity, and our own stability and security, as well. – Jeffrey Sachs

141643. There’s a lot of strength in the U.S., but there’s a lot of froth also. The froth will blow off. We’re going to have to face up to some realities that we’re not fully facing up to right now. – Jeffrey Sachs

141644. The great leaders of the second world war alliance, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, understood the twin sides of destruction and salvation. Their war aims were not only to defeat fascism, but to create a world of shared prosperity. – Jeffrey Sachs

141645. The longer you wait, the less fun. If you wait until the bitter end, the whole economy can be destroyed. – Jeffrey Sachs

141646. The runs started in Thailand after the IMF intervened in such a dramatic way. Then the IMF came to Indonesia. – Jeffrey Sachs

141647. The Russian drama began at the end of 1991, when the Soviet Union mercifully ended. Russia and 14 other new countries emerged from the ruins of the Soviet Union. Every one of those 15 new states faced a profound historical, economic, financial, social and political challenge. – Jeffrey Sachs

141648. The truth of good economic doctoring is to know the general principles, and to really know the specifics. To understand the context, and also, to understand that an economy may need some tender loving care, not just the so-called hard truths, if it’s going to get by. – Jeffrey Sachs

141649. Unfortunately, the real focus in this country has not been on the rest of the world. It’s been on our own issues and our own problems. Fair enough. But it means that our simple hopes that everything will just work out abroad aren’t really coming to pass. – Jeffrey Sachs

141650. We had a booming stock market in 1929 and then went into the world’s greatest depression. We have a booming stock market in 1999. Will the bubble somehow burst, and then we enter depression? Well, some things are not different. – Jeffrey Sachs

141651. We were proposing, in a sense, that the rest of the world be made safe for American ideas, as they adopted intellectual property rights that gave patent protection to our very innovative economy. – Jeffrey Sachs

141652. The basic idea was that if a country would put its economy as an integrated piece of the world system, that it would benefit from that with economic growth. I concur with that basic view. – Jeffrey Sachs

141653. We’re going to have to forgive a great deal of the Soviet era debt. There’s no question about that. Let’s face up to that. We’re going to have to put in money if Russia is really going to consolidate a democracy. – Jeffrey Sachs

141654. The essence of Africa’s crisis is fundamentally its extreme poverty. – Jeffrey Sachs

141655. White House and State Department foreign-policy experts are overwhelmingly directed towards military and diplomatic issues, not development issues. – Jeffrey Sachs

141656. We, being the Western world, wouldn’t let Russia off the hook on debt. So there were demands on debt servicing in the early days until they ran out of reserves. There was no real aid program, just a fictional aid program. – Jeffrey Sachs

141657. Devaluations are never easy. – Jeffrey Sachs

141658. The idea that UN commitments should be followed by action is indeed a radical one, especially for the United States, where wilful neglect of its own commitments is the rule. – Jeffrey Sachs

141660. Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas, as much as anything else. – Jeffrey Sachs

141661. I think the IMF helped to detonate the Indonesian crisis. – Jeffrey Sachs

141662. If we did go into a recession, something that’s always possible for the U.S. or Europe, we could lower interest rates and expand the money supply without worrying about the price of gold. – Jeffrey Sachs

141663. If you have a lot of short-term debt, it means that all of that money can be demanded in a very short period of time. Technically, short-term debt means money that’s coming due within a year. Typically, it means money that’s coming due within 30 to 90 days. – Jeffrey Sachs

141664. In Asia, a lot of successful economies that had been living on their own saving, decided to open up their financial markets to international capital in the early 1990s. So here were countries doing quite well, but they decided they’d borrow a bit more and do even better. – Jeffrey Sachs

141665. Russia has gone through eight years of continuing economic pain. – Jeffrey Sachs

141666. In the early 1990s, when a lot of the developing world opened up to international capital flows… they ended up in very good long-term projects, but projects that weren’t going to pay off for five or 10 or 20 years. – Jeffrey Sachs

141667. It’s not so unusual to run out of someone else’s currency. – Jeffrey Sachs

141668. Senior development specialists in the Treasury can be counted on one hand. America’s government is not even aware of the gap between its commitments and action, because almost nobody in authority understands the actions that would be needed to meet the commitments. – Jeffrey Sachs

141669. Let’s start fresh with Russia on some real help and some real reform. – Jeffrey Sachs

141670. In my view, there is an urgent need to communicate with the public and help to explain where there is consensus, and where are there doubts about the issues of sustainable development. – Jeffrey Sachs

141684. Men of my age live in a state of continual desperation. – Vita Sackville-West

141685. Nothing shows up the difference between the things said or read, so much as the daily experience of it. – Vita Sackville-West

141686. The writer catches the changes of his mind on the hop. Growth is exciting; growth is dynamic and alarming. Growth of the soul, growth of the mind. – Vita Sackville-West

141687. Peace is much more precious than a piece of land… let there be no more wars. – Anwar Sadat

141688. Most people seek after what they do not possess and are enslaved by the very things they want to acquire. – Anwar Sadat

141701. One is never so dangerous when one has no shame, than when one has grown too old to blush. – Marquis de Sade

141702. The primary and most beautiful of Nature’s qualities is motion, which agitates her at all times, but this motion is simply a perpetual consequence of crimes, she conserves it by means of crimes only. – Marquis de Sade

141704. There is no God, Nature sufficeth unto herself; in no wise hath she need of an author. – Marquis de Sade

141752. Whenever it’s suggested that our sponsors have some kind of influence or control of what we cover in some kind of censorship through financial pressure, it’s rubbish. That’s never happened. – Morley Safer

141753. Who knows who will be on board? A couple of spies, for sure. At least one grand duke; a few beautiful woman, no doubt very rich and very troubled. Anything can happen and usually does on the Orient Express. – Morley Safer

141754. You can be a great president and be ridden with flaws. Of course we know that. – Morley Safer
