146186. Thus the creation, which seems an arbitrary act, supposes laws as invariable as those of the fatality of the Atheists. It would be absurd to say that the Creator might govern the world without those rules, since without them it could not subsist. – Charles de Secondat

146201. In bodies moved, the motion is received, increased, diminished, or lost, according to the relations of the quantity of matter and velocity; each diversity is uniformity, each change is constancy. – Charles de Secondat

146214. As leaders, we become whole when we see that our focused, singular commitment to making the numbers and the metrics cannot be effective on its own, but only when it is part of the whole picture – only when we see that it takes more than metrics to make up the whole. – Lance Secretan

146215. Authenticity is the alignment of head, mouth, heart, and feet – thinking, saying, feeling, and doing the same thing – consistently. This builds trust, and followers love leaders they can trust. – Lance Secretan

146216. Most fathers don’t see the war within the daughter, her struggles with conflicting images of the idealized and flawed father, her temptation both to retreat to Daddy’s lap and protection and to push out of his embrace to that of beau and the world beyond home. – Victoria Secunda

146232. My mom used to say that Greek Easter was later because then you get stuff cheaper. – Amy Sedaris

146233. People who shop in health food stores never look healthy. – Amy Sedaris

146234. I choose to do unattractive people, because then I can pretend they think they’re attractive. – Amy Sedaris

146235. More men than women like ‘Strangers With Candy’. Pretty girls don’t like the show. They don’t like to see an ugly lady. – Amy Sedaris

146236. But I always like to play ugly people who think they’re pretty. – Amy Sedaris

146237. I live in the moment. – Amy Sedaris

146247. But I love how people who are musical, they know how to dress. – Amy Sedaris

146248. I really don’t like going out. I don’t like restaurants because I don’t like the idea of someone, a waitress, being responsible for my evening.

146249. I haven’t got the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out. – David Sedaris

146250. They were nothing like the French people I had imagined. If anything, they were too kind, too generous and too knowledgable in the fields of plumbing and electricity. – David Sedaris

Either one of these things are dangerous, but in combination they have the potential to destroy entire civilizations. – David Sedaris

146253. The pretended physical philosophy of modern days strips Man of all his moral attributes, or holds them of no account in the estimate of his origin and place in the created world. – Adam Sedgwick

146254. As a system of philosophy it is not like the Tower of Babel, so daring its high aim as to seek a shelter against God’s anger; but it is like a pyramid poised on its apex. – Adam Sedgwick

146255. A cold atheistical materialism is the tendency of the so-called material philosophy of the present day. – Adam Sedgwick

146256. Hollywood movies are run on fear and they don’t want to make bold choices. They, generally, speaking want to keep things status quo. That’s not really interesting for me. – Kyra Sedgwick

146257. I was very young when we got married and I don’t know why it worked out like it did or how I was smart enough to know that this was the right guy, but somehow I got lucky. – Kyra Sedgwick

146258. I think that certainly my choices empower me. – Kyra Sedgwick

146260. I think it’s important to do great work. – Kyra Sedgwick

146261. I think in this movie, every time I see his work, I’m blown away by it because he, to me, he really embodied the character so powerfully and so real, so truthfully to me. – Kyra Sedgwick

146262. I have too much respect for the characters I play to make them anything but as real as they can possibly be. I have a great deal of respect for all of them, otherwise I wouldn’t do them. And I don’t want to screw them by not portraying them honestly. – Kyra Sedgwick

146263. I feel my job as an actor is to explore all sides of humanity. – Kyra Sedgwick

146264. I do know that I have to work hard for every single thing that I get, really hard, and that’s okay. – Kyra Sedgwick

146265. He put a ring in the toe of a stocking. On Christmas Eve, we opened our stockings and it was there at the bottom of the toe. Then he got down on his knees and he was shaking. – Kyra Sedgwick

146266. I can’t get hired in a studio movie. Everything is so uphill. – Kyra Sedgwick

146267. Hollywood is sexist and age-ist, and that covers all the bases, I guess. – Kyra Sedgwick

146268. I’ve always been able to let stuff go when I’m done with work. – Kyra Sedgwick

146269. After 14 years, it better be a real marriage, you know? We do have a great time together. We are really lucky. – Kyra Sedgwick

146270. Also everyone’s hearts are in the right place when you do a small movie. You’re not doing it for the money; you’re not doing it for the possibility of an Oscar nomination. You are doing it because you love the material. – Kyra Sedgwick

146271. But when you’re in something together, it’s very hard to be objective and you’re very subjective. – Kyra Sedgwick

146272. I don’t know if you’re married, but sometimes there are times where one is really together with their partner. And then there are times when you’re both just in your own thing, but you’re there together. – Kyra Sedgwick

146273. Ultimately, you know, I’m a grown-up, I’ve been in this business a long time. I’ve got kids. I’ve got to do my stuff. But I also need to keep it there so I can bring it up again the next day at work or whatever. – Kyra Sedgwick

146274. It’s easier in some ways being on the life raft and the other guy’s in the boat and you can row alongside and be supportive. In some ways, that’s an easier role. – Kyra Sedgwick

146275. I do it because I want to exercise people’s compassion and I do it because I really believe that for some reason what I do is important and meaningful. – Kyra Sedgwick

146276. Whether it be in a small movie or a big movie, I would always be attracted to this role. – Kyra Sedgwick

146277. We do spend time talking about it and we puzzle through it together. We ride the roller coasters together – the high highs and the low lows. – Kyra Sedgwick

146278. Sometimes when you do a part, the wall between you and the characters can be very porous. You can sort of move in and out of your character’s persona and being. And that just couldn’t happen on this one because of working with him. – Kyra Sedgwick

146279. Some of the best roles are for women in these independent, smaller movies. – Kyra Sedgwick

146280. Shame is such an intense emotion. It just can drive you. – Kyra Sedgwick

146281. It’s that I’m 39. I feel hot and sexy, actually… I feel it inside myself. I don’t feel dried up and tired and no longer interested in sex is what I’m trying to say. – Kyra Sedgwick

146282. It’s not that I don’t see myself as hot and sexy. Don’t get me wrong. No, it’s not that. – Kyra Sedgwick

146283. It’s not always thankless. Let’s face it – it’s not always thankless. I’ve gotten a lot of really great recognition and I’ve worked with amazing people. – Kyra Sedgwick

146284. While it is challenging working with a kid, because they’re so of the moment all the time. My acting style is to try to take something from my life that the character can relate to and that I can relate the character to. – Kyra Sedgwick

146285. You know, I grew up with brothers so I’m used to being the only girl. – Kyra Sedgwick

146286. When change itself can give no more, ‘Tis easy to be true. – Charles Sedley

146287. I fought for peace in the fifties. – Pete Seeger

146288. One of the things I’m most proud of about my country is the fact that we did lick McCarthyism back in the fifties. – Pete Seeger

146289. Some of my ancestors were religious dissenters who came to America over three hundred years ago. Others were abolitionists in New England in the eighteen forties and fifties. – Pete Seeger

146290. I want to turn the clock back to when people lived in small villages and took care of each other. – Pete Seeger

146291. I think these are very improper questions for any American to be asked, especially under such compulsion as this. I would be very glad to tell you my life if you want to hear of it. – Pete Seeger

146292. I still call myself a communist, because communism is no more what Russia made of it than Christianity is what the churches make of it. – Pete Seeger

146293. I love my country very dearly, and I greatly resent the implication that some of the places that I have sung and some of the people that I have known, and some of my opinions, whether they are religious or philosophical, make me less of an American. – Pete Seeger

146294. I like to say I’m more conservative than Goldwater. He just wanted to turn the clock back to when there was no income tax. – Pete Seeger

146295. I have sung in hobo jungles, and I have sung for the Rockefellers, and I am proud that I have never refused to sing for anybody. – Pete Seeger

146296. I have sung for Americans of every political persuasion, and I am proud that I never refuse to sing to an audience, no matter what religion or color of their skin, or situation in life. – Pete Seeger

146297. But I decline to say who has ever listened to them, who has written them, or other people who have sung them. – Pete Seeger

146298. I decline to discuss, under compulsion, where I have sung, and who has sung my songs, and who else has sung with me, and the people I have known. – Pete Seeger

146299. I believe that my choosing my present course I do no dishonor to them, or to those who may come after me. – Pete Seeger

146301. I am not going to answer any questions as to my association, my philosophical or religious beliefs or my political beliefs, or how I voted in any election, or any of these private affairs. – Pete Seeger

146302. Historically, I believe I was correct in refusing to answer their questions. – Pete Seeger

146303. Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don’t. – Pete Seeger

146304. Down through the centuries, this trick has been tried by various establishments throughout the world. They force people to get involved in the kind of examination that has only one aim and that is to stamp out dissent. – Pete Seeger

146305. Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don’t. – Pete Seeger

146306. Again, I say I will be glad to tell what songs I have ever sung, because singing is my business. – Pete Seeger

146307. I feel that my whole life is a contribution. – Pete Seeger

146310. No virtue is safe that is not enthusiastic. – John Robert Seeley

146311. Don’t ask who’s influenced me. A lion is made up of the lambs he’s digested, and I’ve been reading all my life. – Giorgos Seferis

146312. Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends. – Giorgos Seferis

146313. For poetry there exists neither large countries nor small. Its domain is in the heart of all men. – Giorgos Seferis

146314. How can you dare teach a man to read until you’ve taught him everything else first? – Giorgos Seferis

146315. I think the Swedish Academy wished to manifest its solidarity with the living spirit of Greece today. – Giorgos Seferis

146317. This isn’t a watercolor, it’s a mural. – Erich Segal

146318. True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked. – Erich Segal

146319. Even though the museums guarding their precious property fence everything off, in my own studio, I made them so you and I could walk in and around, and among these sculptures. – George Segal

146320. What do I really think? What do I believe in, without the horse manure? – George Segal

146321. Farming with live animals is a 7 day a week, legal form of slavery. – George Segal

146322. Be good. Do good. The devil wields no power over a good man. – Harry Segall

146323. If you can find the line between sympathetic and creepy, you have reached a very funny area. – Jason Segel

146324. You guys own the Muppets, and you’re just kind of sitting on ’em. I really love the Muppets, and I think I know how to bring the franchise back. – Jason Segel

146325. Kermit was the Everyman, the original Tom Hanks, but I have a special place in my heart for Fozzie Bear. The classic borderline hacky entertainer. – Jason Segel

146326. I’ve just grown a little disappointed with ‘Muppets in the Old West’, ‘Muppets Under Water’ and all these weird concept movies. I just want to go take it back to the early 80’s, when it was about the Muppets trying to put on a show. That’s what I’m trying to bring back. – Jason Segel

146327. I’ve been 6’4” since I was 12. Goofy is somewhere in the lexicon. – Jason Segel

146328. I was making out with this woman, and my shirt was off, and she leaned over and, in a really cute, girly voice, went, ‘Hey, fatty!’ – Jason Segel

146329. I sold my first script when I was 21 – this kids’ adventure movie that never got made. I just bought that one back, actually. I’m pretty psyched about it. – Jason Segel

146330. I have a similar issue with people who hire me as I do with women. ‘You have to have a particular taste to want to be around me. I have a slightly askew view. – Jason Segel

146331. I always have awkward relationships with the ladies for whatever reason. I don’t know and so here we are. I was able to sort of take all of those terrible, terrible, terrible dates and turn them into a money making venture. – Jason Segel

146332. Fozzie Bear has so many bear puns in this script – like, ‘Trac is grizzly!’ ‘This is unbearable!’ It’s the greatest. – Jason Segel

146333. I’m better looking in person. – Jason Segel

146334. There were some super-lean years, yeah. I’m six feet four. And I entered into this period all of a sudden when I was too big to play a kid and I was too young to play an adult. Like, I couldn’t play the lawyer, but I couldn’t play the high school kid anymore. – Jason Segel

146335. I’m really glad I didn’t have kids earlier, because I probably would have ignored them. I was so into my career. I could just go and play a ton of shows, night after night after night. I can’t do that anymore. – Bob Seger

146336. If I want to work, I can. If I want to play golf, or ride my motorcycle, I can. But the rest of it is family. Sometimes you’re not really needed by your family, but you’re there. And my kids like to know I’m there. – Bob Seger

146337. My management tells me, Don’t be optimistic, because it’s the young people’s world now. They want to hear what they want to hear, and you’re a classic rocker. I don’t know if you’re gonna get the play. – Bob Seger

146338. Radio is so fragmented, it’s unbelievable. – Bob Seger

146339. The two hours onstage is great. But I can only play a show and then take a night off. I have to sing for two hours, and then I’ve gotta rest it for a night. So it’s the other 46 hours that are just boring as heck. – Bob Seger

146340. We’ve got to practice three weeks, get the kinks out, then we’ve got to practice three weeks with the crew, and then go out for four months. It’s just a huge chunk of time out of life. – Bob Seger

146341. You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it’s really fun to go there. But they’re not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It’s too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it’s distracting to me. – Bob Seger

146342. I really like the thing I did with Martina McBride. I had that song sitting around for a long time. – Bob Seger

146343. You can’t get a good crew and a good sound system, and a good light system if you do a small tour. If you want the best, those guys want a commitment of about 4 to 6 months. And I’d want the best people and the best stuff. – Bob Seger

146344. I write probably 80 percent of my stuff over the winter. – Bob Seger

146345. Every now and then you’ll nail one that’s really, really special. And that’s what you live for. – Bob Seger

146346. I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then. – Bob Seger

146347. I write a lot of songs people don’t hear. I really just enjoy the process. I finish ’em all. I don’t think there’s a whole lot of difference between the bad ones and the good ones. – Bob Seger

146348. I never say never, because I don’t want to be one of those guys. – Bob Seger

146349. I just fell into the Dylanesque idea of recording. He is real fast. – Bob Seger

146350. I had the opportunity to be around my kids a lot. I guess I could have kept working, but I had them when I was 47. You only get to see all this stuff once. I just chose to work at home and watch them. – Bob Seger

146351. Great sex is wonderful while it’s happening, but who remembers great sex they had in 1983? – Bob Seger

146352. I’m just trying to keep things simple, and just be a little more offhand and not get so deep into things. Enjoy what you got right now, because who knows what’s going to happen tomorrow. – Bob Seger

146353. The piano is a monster that screams when you touch its teeth. – Andres Segovia

146354. You know what I think? If I am tired now, I don’t mind, because I have eternity to rest. – Andres Segovia

146355. Whoever heard of an electric violin, electric cello or, for that matter, an electric singer? – Andres Segovia

146356. When I began, the guitar was en-closed in a vicious circle. There were no composers writing for the guitar, be-cause there were no virtuoso guitarists. – Andres Segovia

146357. The advice I am giving always to all my students is above all to study the music profoundly… music is like the ocean, and the instruments are little or bigger islands, very beautiful for the flowers and trees. – Andres Segovia

146360. Among God’s creatures two, the dog and the guitar, have taken all the sizes and all the shapes, in order not to be separated from the man. – Andres Segovia

146361. The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different color, a different voice. – Andres Segovia

146362. When one puts up a building one makes an elaborate scaffold to get everything into its proper place. But when one takes the scaffold down, the building must stand by itself with no trace of the means by which it was erected. That is how a musician should work. – Andres Segovia

146363. Young people don’t want to be second to anyone. Everyone wants to be an overnight star. Look how many years I had to wait, how many roads I had to travel, how many songs I had to sing. And now I’m just beginning, never ending. – Compay Segundo

146364. I’m still strong and in the best shape to continue living my life. – Compay Segundo

146365. In order to grow old, you have to experience everything, but in moderation. – Compay Segundo

146366. Ry Cooder for me is a master, a great master that has a wonderful feel for Cuban music. He’s also paid tribute my talent a bit, even though I don’t know half of what he knows. – Compay Segundo

146367. The music that I play and that I like is traditional music, maybe it’s because of my age. – Compay Segundo

146368. The roots of Cuban music are in my head. – Compay Segundo

146369. Towns are suffering from all these things, we should unite until we are all satisfied, man cannot be killing each other as if we were animals, as if we had no culture; that is a lack of culture. – Compay Segundo

146370. When you here a conjunto and you hear another conjunto, you think it’s like a continuation of the first. It’s all the same, same, same. There’s no variety, just the same music. – Compay Segundo

146569. I don’t feel the obligation to have a big explosion in the first 20 seconds so the audience doesn’t turn on another channel. We are trying to make something that looks like a feature film that was bought for television and I think we are succeeding. – Tom Selleck

146570. I think a lot of Magnum was me. – Tom Selleck

146578. I live a pretty simple life. – Tom Selleck

146630. The curriculum of the school did not neglect India’s cultural, analytical and scientific heritage, but was very involved also with the rest of the world. – Amartya Sen
