142201. They envy the distinction I have won; let them therefore, envy my toils, my honesty, and the methods by which I gained it. – Sallust

142202. The higher your station, the less your liberty. – Sallust

142203. The glory that goes with wealth is fleeting and fragile; virtue is a possession glorious and eternal. – Sallust

142204. In my opinion, he only may be truly said to live and enjoy his being who is engaged in some laudable pursuit, and acquires a name by some illustrious action, or useful art. – Sallust

142205. The fame that goes with wealth and beauty is fleeting and fragile; intellectual superiority is a possession glorious and eternal. – Sallust

142206. Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought. – Sallust

142207. No mortal man has ever served at the same time his passions and his best interests. – Sallust

142208. No man underestimates the wrongs he suffers; many take them more seriously than is right. – Sallust

142209. Neither soldiers nor money can defend a king but only friends won by good deeds, merit, and honesty. – Sallust

142210. Necessity makes even the timid brave. – Sallust

142211. Most honorable are services rendered to the State; even if they do not go beyond words, they are not to be despised. – Sallust

142212. Kings are more prone to mistrust the good than the bad; and they are always afraid of the virtues of others. – Sallust

142213. Just to stir things up seemed a great reward in itself. – Sallust

142214. It is better to use fair means and fail, than foul and conquer. – Sallust

142215. The firmest friendship is based on an identity of likes and dislikes. – Sallust

142216. We’ve always been able to bounce back. – Tim Salmon

142217. That’s our race. That’s our playoffs. – Tim Salmon

142218. All we can do is play ball. Every time we go out on the field, we do what we do in America – live in the freedom that our country affords us. – Tim Salmon

142219. This continuity of sound and form was something that I became really interested in from working with Ligeti. He was always going on about how form has to be continuous. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142220. This country, and the West Coast, especially, is bad at preserving any cultural legacy. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142221. There will have to be times when I’m not conducting because I’m composing. I haven’t solved that problem, and perhaps I never will. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142222. There is such a suspicion in today’s world of people who do more than one thing, who aren’t specialized. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142223. There is more openness in LA to possibilities than on the East Coast of America. There is a pioneering spirit there that stems from the reason people went out there in the first place-to find something new. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142224. With American orchestras, in particular, because they play in such huge halls, getting a true pianissimo is very hard. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142225. This conducting thing happened. In 1983 I was sucked into this international career, which was a very scary experience. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142226. When we’re at the end of The Rite of Spring or of a Bruckner symphony, I want people to feel the music physically. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142227. The players never think they project enough. In a hall that seats 3,300 people, it’s a very scary thing to play so quietly that you can barely hear yourself. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142228. After working with Ligeti I began to hear Brahms and Beethoven differently. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142229. My music wouldn’t sound the way it does if I hadn’t had the experience of conducting. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142230. If the seams are showing, there is something wrong with the performance or the construction of the piece. This idea is completely at odds with our modern visual experience, because everything today is based on montage. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142231. In Europe, there is so much tradition, and everyone has established ideas as to what art should be and what it has always been. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142232. In the range of music that we play – roughly 300 years’ worth-there really are more similarities than differences. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142233. Los Angeles is just a more open place. The way L.A. functions is that people give you a forum. They say, Show us what you can do. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142234. Music has just as much to do with movement and body as it does soul and intellect. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142235. I discovered that the people of the North are different and there’s no way you can make a person from the North similar to a Southerner. They’re two different worlds. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142236. I always had, deep down, a slight aversion toward the purely cerebral in music. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142237. Every day we make more progress toward understanding the concert hall. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142238. I’ve learned a lot from the masters of orchestration, like Ravel and Stravinsky. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142239. The sound was my greatest concern. There were certain difficulties getting used to the way every musician can hear his or herself, the way each of them relates to the musician in the next seat. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142240. I’m still disturbed if a chord isn’t together, but your priorities change as you get older. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142241. The underlying process in Northern music tends to be slower and continuous, whatever’s happening on the surface; in Southern music the underlying process is always faster. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142242. The Royal Festival Hall in London is nice; people hang out there. I think this inviting, non-exclusive character is very important. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142243. As we watch TV or films, there are no organic transitions, only edits. The idea of A becoming B, rather than A jumping to B, has become foreign. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142244. The Northern idea of form is more of a process. The various units of the form overlap. You can’t tell where some things stop and new things start. This is typical of Sibelius. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142245. The music I turn out these days is the kind of music I want to hear myself. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142246. The act of conducting in itself, of waving my arms in the air and being in charge, I didn’t miss. I missed the sensual pleasure of being in contact with music. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142247. Stravinsky is masterly: his harmony is conceived so precisely that it can only be the way it is. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142248. Pulse as an active means of expression, Stravinsky and Beethoven are the two masters of that. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142249. Orchestras have become used to the emphasis on the separation of layers, of the ultimate precision and clarity. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142250. Once you get over the first hill, there is always a new, higher one lurking, of course. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142251. I can’t imagine how many first performances I’ve done, perhaps 500. Some of them have been very good, and some of course very bad. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142252. I love a visceral sound, the kind that hits you in the belly. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142253. I feel very free and very happy to be a composer. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142254. I don’t believe in an annual dose of film music for the sake of it being film music. If we program film music, it will be because there is a real artistic reason for doing so. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142255. Anyone who composes and conducts at the same time is immediately suspect, because he must be faking one or the other. – Esa-Pekka Salonen

142256. The cholera most forcibly teaches us our mutual connection. Nothing shows more powerfully the duty of every man to look after the needs of others. – Titus Salt

142257. I have confidence that the Unitarian Church will steadily grow and will help to sustain many of my fellow citizens in these important days that lie ahead of us. – Leverett Saltonstall

142258. I have always felt that a man’s religion was his personal and private affair. – Leverett Saltonstall

142259. My family for several generations have been members of the Unitarian Church. – Leverett Saltonstall

142260. I have the utmost respect for the different faiths professed by my fellow men. – Leverett Saltonstall

142261. I personally have always found the Unitarian faith a source of comfort and help in my daily life. – Leverett Saltonstall

142262. Too many of my Senate colleagues overdid it. They stayed on too long – napping through committee hearings when they should have packed up and gone home. – Leverett Saltonstall

142263. I attended Sunday School and then church with my father and mother throughout my childhood. – Leverett Saltonstall

142264. A really plain woman is one who, however beautiful, neglects to charm. – Edgar Saltus

142265. I’ve never made any effort to hide what happened. I served my time, I’ve tried to learn and move on. – Victor Salva

142266. I think that’s still the most primal fear of all humans: to be eaten. – Victor Salva

142267. I don’t have any illusion that The Creeper is as popular or will ever be as popular as any of the classic movie monsters, but I think in the heart of every young horror fan is his desire to create his own creature. – Victor Salva

142268. It got so bad that by the time I was graduated, the only reading I did was in order to get the grade and the only writing I did was in order to get the grade. – R. A. Salvatore

142269. I never intended to be a professional writer; as the story developed, the one thing I had in my hopes was that this would be something tangible to separate me from the nameless, numbered masses. – R. A. Salvatore

142270. In the past, TSR and now Wizards of the Coast have asked me to do game stats for my characters, and I’m never comfortable doing that. It’s all relative after all. – R. A. Salvatore

142271. I’ve always been a fighter. If you tell me I can’t, I’ll die trying to prove you wrong. – R. A. Salvatore

142272. I’m trying to make all the characters change and grow, or regress. – R. A. Salvatore

142273. I thought I would set the world on fire when I got out of college. I had done quite well in a field that was growing. Unfortunately, we got hit with a recession in 1981. – R. A. Salvatore

142274. I loved to read and to write, but then something happened. As I made my way through school, I kept getting handed books to read that didn’t excite me and didn’t even remotely connect to the realities of my life. – R. A. Salvatore

142275. I loved the world of imagination. – R. A. Salvatore

142276. I don’t often know exactly what’s coming next, and that makes it more fun. And you know, for me, this entire genre is all about that; it’s all about having fun and getting away from the mundane world for just a little while. – R. A. Salvatore

142277. I do that mostly because I believe that the fantasy business is in terrible trouble right now, for several reasons, not the least of which being the almost Democrat vs. Republican mentality of readers on the Internet. – R. A. Salvatore

142278. I didn’t and don’t go to Internet for any business purposes. The book sales for me by this point are way beyond any influence I might have, positively, or others might have, negatively. – R. A. Salvatore

142279. Here’s the thing, for me at least: this is a huge genre now. It wasn’t always so. Not so many years ago, it wasn’t so. There is a tremendous diversity in fantasy today. – R. A. Salvatore

142280. Definitely they write themselves. It’s an amazing experience. It’s like the characters have come alive and are sitting on my shoulder talking to me, telling me their tales. – R. A. Salvatore

142281. Also, there are authors and publicists using the Internet to manipulate opinion, both positively for a work and negatively against the competition. I don’t do this and can’t stomach it, honestly. – R. A. Salvatore

142282. I’m a working-class kid from a blue-collar New England family. – R. A. Salvatore

142283. Writing a book for me, I expect, is very similar to the experience of reading the book for my readers. – R. A. Salvatore

142284. Writing is an incredibly lonely job. – R. A. Salvatore

142285. So, while I gave up the notions of publishing at that time, I never stopped editing and refining that book. A few years later, in 1987, I thought I had it ready to go out again. – R. A. Salvatore

142286. To Koreans on the other side, we care about your freedom. – Kim Y. Sam

142287. The stark reality facing us today is that without the labour reforms, workers will get neither the income nor jobs in the face of cut-throat global economic competition. – Kim Y. Sam

142288. The blood and sweat shed by United States and United Nations troops proved to be the prime mover behind the realisation of freedom throughout the post-war period. – Kim Y. Sam

142289. No doubt it was better to have become president than not. – Kim Y. Sam

142290. All of North Korea is a jail. – Kim Y. Sam

142291. It’s very certain that North Korea is developing nuclear weapons for offensive purposes. They don’t need nuclear weapons to defend their own country. – Kim Y. Sam

142292. In my day, the president ruled with authority before the law, but now all that is lost. – Kim Y. Sam

142293. I feel very sorry for the one or two North Korean defectors who were caught by Chinese police while entering South Korean or foreign embassies in Beijing, but their arrest drew the whole attention of the world. – Kim Y. Sam

142294. I don’t think the current regime of South Korea will deal actively with the issue of North Korean defectors. – Kim Y. Sam

142295. Once a major military confrontation occurs, North Korea will definitely be annihilated. – Kim Y. Sam

142296. I want to express my deepest apology to the athletes, the people of Salt Lake City in Utah and the millions of citizens worldwide who love and respect the games. – Juan Antonio Samaranch

142297. Olympism is a philosophy which, by blending sport with culture, seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal ethical principles. – Juan Antonio Samaranch

142298. Our philosophy precedes from the belief that sport is an inalienable part of the educational process and a factor for promoting peace, friendship, cooperation and understanding among peoples. – Juan Antonio Samaranch

142299. Spain is not a racist country. – Juan Antonio Samaranch

142300. The ‘movement’ is paramount, the concept of ‘family’ is the symbol we wish to project. – Juan Antonio Samaranch

142301. Throughout its history, the international Olympic Committee has struggled to spread its ideal of fraternity, friendship, peace and universal understanding. – Juan Antonio Samaranch

142302. We peruse one ideal, that of bringing people together in peace, irrespective of race, religion and political convictions, for the benefit of mankind. – Juan Antonio Samaranch

142303. Olympism is the marriage of sport and culture. – Juan Antonio Samaranch

142304. I want the people of New Jersey to jump off a cliff like Kurt Vonnegut so I can show them how to fly. This way, nobody needs to grow any wings, which would be impossible anyway because we’re humans and not some kind of bird. – Richie Sambora

142305. That got me thinking. Bon Jovi kills in Jersey. Just kills. We did Atlantic City this past winter and man, you wouldn’t believe the intensity in that crowd. Can I just talk for a minute about how amazingly hot Heather is? – Richie Sambora

142306. Children are far more interesting to work with than grownups. They’re incredibly honest. They’ll tell you exactly what they think. – Tim Sample

142307. There’s always one shot that I can rely on when I’m not hitting the ball that well, is my serve. – Pete Sampras

142308. When you retire you want to get as far away as possible from the game for a couple of years. – Pete Sampras

142309. You kind of live and die by the serve. – Pete Sampras

142310. The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less. – Pete Sampras

142311. Tennis is seen all around the world; if I am home or anywhere in the country, United States, people will stare. – Pete Sampras

142312. People know me. I’m not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I’m not going to belong on Comedy Central. I’ll always be a tennis player, not a celebrity. – Pete Sampras

142313. It is nice to walk out on a court to have it packed. – Pete Sampras

142314. In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically. – Pete Sampras

142315. If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me. – Pete Sampras

142316. I let my racket do the talking. That’s what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches. – Pete Sampras

142317. I don’t know how I do it, I really don’t. – Pete Sampras

142318. I am going to hold serve the majority of the time. It is nice to have a little time to return serve. – Pete Sampras

142319. Golfers are forever working on mechanics. My tennis swing hasn’t changed in 10 years. – Pete Sampras

142320. For so long people have just taken what I do for granted. It is not easy to do year-in, year-out, to win Grand Slams and be No. 1. – Pete Sampras

142321. Where I fall down is my short game. I don’t practice enough, and when I have to take a half swing from 50 yards out, that’s trouble. – Pete Sampras

142322. Once you touch the trappings of monarchy, like opening an Egyptian tomb, the inside is liable to crumble. – Anthony Sampson

142323. In America journalism is apt to be regarded as an extension of history: in Britain, as an extension of conversation. – Anthony Sampson

142324. Muddle is the extra unknown personality in any committee. – Anthony Sampson

142325. A library is thought in cold storage. – Herbert Samuel

142326. An autobiography is the story of how a man thinks he lived. – Herbert Samuel

142328. He suffered from a rush of words to the head. – Herbert Samuel

142330. It is easy to be tolerant of the principles of other people if you have none of your own. – Herbert Samuel

142331. A wife lasts only for the length of the marriage, but an ex-wife is there for the rest of your life. – Jim Samuels

142332. Remember folks stop lights timed for 35 mph are also timed for 70 mph. – Jim Samuels

142333. You’re a good example of why some animals eat their young. – Jim Samuels

142334. Good questions outrank easy answers. – Paul Samuelson

142335. What we know about the global financial crisis is that we don’t know very much. – Paul Samuelson

142336. The problem is no longer that with every pair of hands that comes into the world there comes a hungry stomach. Rather it is that, attached to those hands are sharp elbows. – Paul Samuelson

142337. Sooner or later the Internet will become profitable. It’s an old story played before by canals, railroads and automobiles. – Paul Samuelson

142338. Self-deception ultimately explains Japan’s plight. The Japanese have never accepted that change is in their interest – and not merely a response to U.S. criticism. – Paul Samuelson

142339. Politicians like to tell people what they want to hear – and what they want to hear is what won’t happen. – Paul Samuelson

142340. Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas. – Paul Samuelson

142341. Globalization presumes sustained economic growth. Otherwise, the process loses its economic benefits and political support. – Paul Samuelson

142342. Funeral by funeral, theory advances. – Paul Samuelson

142343. Every good cause is worth some inefficiency. – Paul Samuelson

142344. Economics has never been a science – and it is even less now than a few years ago. – Paul Samuelson

142345. Companies are not charitable enterprises: They hire workers to make profits. In the United States, this logic still works. In Europe, it hardly does. – Paul Samuelson

142346. Asia’s governments come in two broad varieties: young, fragile democracies – and older, fragile authoritarian regimes. – Paul Samuelson

142347. An intriguing paradox of the 1990s is that it isn’t called a decade of greed. – Paul Samuelson

142348. It is not easy to get rich in Las Vegas, at Churchill Downs, or at the local Merrill Lynch office. – Paul Samuelson

142349. I’m not here to battle anybody. In the end it’s just an instrument. That shouldn’t be a concept. – Eric San

142350. A lot of the stuff I’ve accumulated over the last few years of touring I thought was really interesting. Like sounds, sound bites, and beats even, but they weren’t good dance beats they weren’t ones anyone would want to rap over or anything. – Eric San

142351. Dear motorist on the information superhighway. I’m sorry I do not have a car. – Eric San

142352. Even though you were radiated doesn’t mean you get to have that sort of power. – Eric San

142353. Eventually it just got really crazy. Less and less oxygen in the apartment. – Eric San

142354. Eventually we want to do a puppet musical with turntables in the orchestra pit. – Eric San

142355. I realized that we were all sort of conspiring, well, not conspiring against each other, but all this cloak and dagger stuff and I was like; what is this? – Eric San

142356. When the generation after me started getting on the cut, a lot of them would call me over to hang out or go jam and scratch and they were always separate from each other. – Eric San

142357. I try and make little stories. Whether it’s with a pencil or with bits of records, it’s really the same thing. – Eric San

142358. You can say battle or war or whatever, but in the end, it’s music. It’s not really violent in intent at all, it’s really just about expression and celebrating that in itself. – Eric San

142359. I really enjoyed the sort of real crazy, eclectic layering stuff and how it all worked together. I could tell it was some of it was derivative of something. I could tell that certain things were being looped around and I just really enjoyed the way that it all came together. – Eric San

142360. When I’m playing with the band or playing with some projects or some of my own stuff it’s about the musical approach. That would be the more turntablist approach to things of where it’s strictly about music. – Eric San

142361. When I started, there weren’t that many kids doing it in the city, but the in the wave after me there were a lot of them and they actually never spoke to each other. – Eric San

142362. We’re on tour to kind of explain why we do what we do, how its done and how we put it together. – Eric San

142363. Playing with decks, for me, has always been about trying new things. I make it a point to keep trying different things, keep pushing it a little bit at a time. – Eric San

142364. Nothing to do with anything, something to do with everything. – Eric San

142365. My scratching I don’t really think communicates to intelligent life forms. Anyone with more than one brain cell would think Kid Koala music is completely retarded. – Eric San

142366. It’s funny how making odd noises can get you into strange situations sometimes. – Eric San

142367. If you met my dad, I think a lot of things would be put to rest. Because my pops is a pretty silly guy. But, Coldcut, they’re based in the U.K. I’m a big fan of jazz music, so American music has had a big influence on what I listen to. – Eric San

142368. If you can understand the humor in the drawing part you’ll probably get the humor in the audio part. – Eric San

142369. There’s individual turntable setups devoted to piano, bass, drums and a set for soloing as well. We like to try and explore the gamut of what a turntable can do. – Eric San

142370. Well, I guess my unease with that is… I’m always a little uneasy with that phrase – smooth jazz, as opposed to what? – David Sanborn

142371. Instrumental music is increasingly marginalized and there’s just no outlet, there’s no venue for it, in terms of media. – David Sanborn

142372. When you have an acoustic bass in the ensemble it really changes the dynamic of the record because it kind of forces everybody to play with a greater degree of sensitivity and nuance because it just has a different kind of tone and spectrum than the electric bass. – David Sanborn

142373. Its all about finding the right note at the right place and knowing when to leave well enough alone. And that’s a lifelong quest. – David Sanborn

142374. You’re only as good as your last record. – David Sanborn

142375. I chose to deal with the science of cryptography. Cryptography began in mathematics. Codes were developed, even from Caesar’s time, based on number theory and mathematical principles. I decided to use those principles and designed a work that is encoded. – James Sanborn

142376. What affected me most profoundly was the realization that the sciences of cryptography and mathematics are very elegant, pure sciences. I found that the ends for which these pure sciences are used are less elegant. – James Sanborn

142377. When I accepted the commission, I had something of an epiphany in the research I did about the agency, actually the science of espionage. I realized there is a connection between the sciences and the invisible forces of man. – James Sanborn

142378. I try to support groups that are about educating people about different races, different religions, different cultures and different situations so that we can break down the barriers of prejudice and bigotry. – Loretta Sanchez

142379. This is my fourth term and my seventh year. My first year was in 1997, the same year for Vic Snyder. It is still exciting to be there even though Washington is not run by Democrats right now, but we are working very hard. – Loretta Sanchez

142380. Peace is a never ending process… It cannot ignore our differences or overlook our common interests. It requires us to work and live together. – Oscar Arias Sanchez

142381. I thought it would be easy. I thought it’d take me one year to be Salma Hayek. – Roselyn Sanchez

142382. I love what I do. When a month goes by and I’m not working, I’m miserable. – Roselyn Sanchez

142383. I came here when I was almost 22. I’m perfectly bilingual, but I’m never going to sound like Sandra Bullock. – Roselyn Sanchez

142384. I admire them for making their way up and opening new opportunities for other Latin newcomers. Latinos have come a long way and the roles and opportunities just seem to be improving. – Roselyn Sanchez

142385. Go learn the language. Go take some acting lessons. Start from zero like everybody else. – Roselyn Sanchez

142386. New York doesn’t care who you are or where you came from. – Roselyn Sanchez

142387. Once my heart was captured, reason was shown the door, deliberately and with a sort of frantic joy. I accepted everything, I believed everything, without struggle, without suffering, without regret, without false shame. How can one blush for what one adores? – George Sand

142388. One approaches the journey’s end. But the end is a goal, not a catastrophe. – George Sand

142389. Admiration and familiarity are strangers. – George Sand

142390. Charity degrades those who receive it and hardens those who dispense it. – George Sand

142391. Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. – George Sand

142392. Every historian discloses a new horizon. – George Sand

142393. Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument. – George Sand

142394. Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness. – George Sand

142395. He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life. – George Sand

142396. I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy. – George Sand

142627. Dire poverty drives this mother back again to the factory (no intelligent person will say she goes willingly). – Margaret Sanger

142628. Diplomats make it their business to conceal the facts. – Margaret Sanger

142784. The decision he made with Usama bin Laden was a tactical decision. It wasn’t a strategic decision. The strategic decision was made by President Bush to go after him.

142786. Isn’t that the ultimate homeland security, standing up and defending marriage? – Rick Santorum

142787. I’m always told that what I say is controversial. Why is it controversial? Because I speak from a tradition that has now fallen out of favor with the dominant media in this country.

142788. What we should be teaching are the problems and holes and I think there are legitimate problems and holes in the theory of evolution.

142811. It is no secret that the fruits of language study are in no sort of relation to the labour spent on teaching and learning them. – Edward Sapir

142812. A common creation demands a common sacrifice, and perhaps not the least potent argument in favour of a constructed international language is the fact that it is equally foreign, or apparently so, to the traditions of all nationalities. – Edward Sapir

142813. A logical analysis of reflexive usages in French shows, however, that this simplicity is an illusion and that, so far from helping the foreigner, it is more calculated to bother him. – Edward Sapir

142819. English, once accepted as an international language, is no more secure than French has proved to be as the one and only accepted language of diplomacy or as Latin has proved to be as the international language of science. – Edward Sapir

142820. French and German illustrate the misleading character of apparent grammatical simplicity just as well. – Edward Sapir

142821. Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society. – Edward Sapir

142825. The supposed inferiority of a constructed language to a national one on the score of richness of connotation is, of course, no criticism of the idea of a constructed language. – Edward Sapir

142826. These examples of the lack of simplicity in English and French, all appearances to the contrary, could be multiplied almost without limit and apply to all national languages. – Edward Sapir

142827. The spirit of logical analysis should in practice blend with the practical pressure for the adoption of some form of international language, but it should not allow itself to be stampeded by it. – Edward Sapir

142828. The psychology of a language which, in one way or another, is imposed upon one because of factors beyond one’s control, is very different from the psychology of a language which one accepts of one’s free will. – Edward Sapir

142831. One of the glories of English simplicity is the possibility of using the same word as noun and verb. – Edward Sapir

142832. The modern mind tends to be more and more critical and analytical in spirit, hence it must devise for itself an engine of expression which is logically defensible at every point and which tends to correspond to the rigorous spirit of modern science. – Edward Sapir

142833. We see and hear and otherwise experience very largely as we do because the language habits of our community predispose certain choices of interpretation. – Edward Sapir

142836. The ideal mother, like the ideal marriage, is a fiction. – Milton R. Sapirstein

142844. Beginning with adolescence, my political formation was oriented in the ideological direction of Marxism.

142851. Society has to change, but the political powers we have at the moment are not enough to effect this change. The whole democratic system would have to be rethought. – Jose Saramago

142857. The world is governed by institutions that are not democratic – the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO. – Jose Saramago

142858. I never appreciated ‘positive heroes’ in literature. They are almost always cliches, copies of copies, until the model is exhausted. I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more ‘productive’ literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are. – Jose Saramago

142859. I presume that nobody will deny the positive aspects of the North American cultural world. These are well known to all. But these aspects do not make one forget the disastrous effects of the industrial and commercial process of ‘cultural lamination’ that the USA is perpetrating on the planet. – Jose Saramago

142867. There are times when it is best to be content with what one has, so as not to lose everything. – Jose Saramago

142876. The period that I could consider the most important in my literary work came about beginning with the Revolution, and in a certain way, developed as a consequence of the Revolution. But it was also a result of the counterrevolutionary coup of November 1975. – Jose Saramago

142878. I am not a prophet. – Jose Saramago

142879. Perhaps it is the language that chooses the writers it needs, making use of them so that each might express a tiny part of what it is. – Jose Saramago

142881. When you start to develop your powers of empathy and imagination, the whole world opens up to you. – Susan Sarandon

142890. I look forward to being older, when what you look like becomes less and less an issue and what you are is the point. – Susan Sarandon

142891. I think I’m an actor because I have very strong imagination and empathy. I never studied acting, but those two qualities are exactly the qualities that make for an activist. – Susan Sarandon

142892. I think sometimes what happens is that all of this feeling out of control manifests itself in trying to control your body; whether it’s an eating disorder or talking about getting your nose fixed, as if that’s going to be the solution to all the pressure. – Susan Sarandon

142899. It is a different world than when I was growing up, and you started to just kind of maintain at thirty-five and just hope you can hope it together. People are a lot more vital than I am and doing all kinds of things and leading really important movements. – Susan Sarandon

142904. Now, Tim has been really, really busy, and it’s been my job now to kind of deal with everything. And trying to figure out how we balance that, logistically it’s a nightmare. But these little jobs make it much easier. – Susan Sarandon

142962. I have never sought the reason why I write. – Nathalie Sarraute

142965. Women have seen that they have locked themselves up with feminist writing. – Nathalie Sarraute

142968. You want to do something, you want to have the bravery to do something original. And there will always be people who are like, the classicists who are like, ‘No, but it’s got to have this.’ In life, there are people like that attached to every single thing that there is. These are the same people that are like, still playing vinyl. – Peter Sarsgaard

142975. Four hours of makeup, and then an hour to take it off. It’s tiring. I go in, I get picked up at two-thirty in the morning, I get there at three.

142976. But the way that we’ve got it organized in our family, we try not to work at the same time, so I’m just now starting to look around. I think I’d like to do a film. – Peter Sarsgaard

142977. I just pick the best roles that are left over, and they usually aren’t the heterosexual, leading-man, non-drug-addict parts. And once you get into doing them, people know you do them. – Peter Sarsgaard

142990. Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self. – May Sarton

142991. May we agree that private life is irrelevant? Multiple, mixed, ambiguous at best – out of it we try to fashion the crystal clear, the singular, the absolute, and that is what is relevant; that is what matters. – May Sarton

142992. Most people have to talk so they won’t hear. – May Sarton
