149441. People understand we have a dependence upon foreign oil. What they do not understand and find incredibly ridiculous is that we import refined product just making us more dependent on the industry. – John Shimkus

149442. Modern Armenia survived only because it was the single province controlled, and protected, by the Russian Empire. The rest of the territory within its historical borders is almost wholly devoid of ethnic Armenians. – John Shimkus

149459. We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill… it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress. – Li Ka Shing

149460. The future may be made up of many factors but where it truly lies is in the hearts and minds of men. Your dedication should not be confined for your own gain, but unleashes your passion for our beloved country as well as for the integrity and humanity of mankind. – Li Ka Shing

149461. You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which “clicks.” – Florence Scovel Shinn

149469. We have people in the band who don’t drink or do drugs… some of us like to go sightseeing. – Mike Shinoda

149471. It’s tough never being right. – Eric Shinseki

149490. I can’t for the life of me see that by being permissive you actually assist anyone. – Jenny Shipley

149498. Bud Powell’s probably the biggest influence on my piano playing. – Matthew Shipp

149499. His name, even, is part of the marketing scheme, I mean, Thelonious Sphere Monk – how can you think of a better name to fit his style of playing? – Matthew Shipp

149500. The iconoclastic mode, that specific mode of language, there is an element of it that it is punk – that is confrontational. That’s just a part of the language of jazz – at a certain point. – Matthew Shipp

149524. I don’t flatter myself with much dependence upon the present disposition of the Eastern Indians, who are many ways liable to be drawn into a rupture with us by the artifices of the French, their own weakness and the influence which the French Missionary Priests have over them. – William Shirley

149525. I am of opinion that it is highly requisite forthwith to pass a law, prohibiting upon great penalties all trade with our enemies, and more especially the supplying of them with arms, ammunition or provisions of any kind whatsoever. – William Shirley

149533. I’m too shy, really to be able to hang out with my heroes for too long. – Michelle Shocked

149534. Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past, it is a therapy of sorts, but to be honest, my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done. – Michelle Shocked

149535. The thing I fail to do is fully comprehend what’s given back to me by the audience. You would think you would be a performer partly so you could feel all the appreciation or adulation, but I haven’t quite managed that yet. – Michelle Shocked

149536. People might say I’m difficult, but did you ever hear anyone describe a label as ‘difficult’? By nature, artists should challenge. When they call you difficult, it is a reflection of the imbalance of power. – Michelle Shocked

149537. My grandmother had a Miss Margaret’s School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they’re dancing fools. It’s the only vice they have – dancing. – Michelle Shocked

149544. I walked along that slippery slope where if you fail through lack of faith, you sell your soul to the devil. – Michelle Shocked

149545. I try to look at this music career thing as the means to an end. And really, at the end of it, I see myself on a sailboat, sailing off the edge of the world. – Michelle Shocked

149546. I think the word soul has gotta come into it. Music that’s created just for consuming lacks that soul, that swing, that feeling. – Michelle Shocked

149547. I think people have to choose between living with contradictions or painting themselves into a corner. I have a lot of contradictions. – Michelle Shocked

149548. I accepted a change in my life. I didn’t choose that change and those are the best changes to make. – Michelle Shocked

149549. As I look back over my life, before I had any real identity, I was a traveler. I grew up an Army brat, a runaway, an activist, and a musician. All my life I’ve been traveling. – Michelle Shocked

149550. Ideals are not something I can control. It’s not logic that convinces me of something, it’s what my heart says. My heart has a way of involving me in things, which can only be good for the music. – Michelle Shocked

149556. Why should unmarried women be discriminated against – unmarried men are not. – Dinah Shore

149557. When rock came along the lyrics and melodies became less important and it bothered me to think that perhaps they might not regain the value they have to music – they are music. – Dinah Shore

149558. When I was four or five, my father had a general store in Winchester and I don’t think the farmers could ever leave on Saturday afternoon until I had been placed up on the counter to sing. – Dinah Shore

149560. My tastes are eclectic. – Dinah Shore

149561. I’m not really a country singer, although I did make a couple albums and love its simple, straight-from-the-heart approach, but I have always sung a lot of jazz, show tunes, pop tunes, gospel and blues. – Dinah Shore

149562. I never wanted to set the world on fire. So I never had to burn any bridges behind me. – Dinah Shore

149563. I earn and pay my own way as a great many women do today. – Dinah Shore

149564. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t singing. – Dinah Shore

149565. Emmys are wonderful and I’m thrilled to death that I have mine. But they’re representative of a specific achievement, where this sort of thing is representative of how you’ve grown in your own industry. – Dinah Shore

149566. Bing Crosby sings like all people think they sing in the shower. – Dinah Shore

149567. And I’ve never taken up a sport just because it was a social fad. – Dinah Shore

149573. Even at my peak, I never went too over the top. – Pauly Shore

149574. I was one of the first veejays to take the camera out on location, and that’s what was unique about MTV at that time. – Pauly Shore

149575. Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that’s Hollywood. – Pauly Shore

149576. My mom is two people to me. She’s my mom number one, and then she’s this lady most comedians know as being a legendary owner of a nightclub that’s responsible for starting a lot of heavy careers. – Pauly Shore

149579. Even in today’s opera world, the position of the black tenor is problematic. – Bobby Short

149580. I was very young at the time, and I mainly appreciated their vocal qualities, even though I was already living as they did – as black performers in a white world. – Bobby Short

149581. If you try to do that in pop music – to play only rare show tunes, for example – people don’t come. – Bobby Short

149582. People have accused me of being in favor of globalization. This is equivalent to accusing me of being in favor of the sun rising in the morning. – Clare Short

149583. So my own suspicion is that the attorney has stopped this prosecution because part of her defence was to question legality and that would have brought his advice into the public domain again and there was something fishy about the way in which he said war was legal. – Clare Short

149584. That feeds anger, and I mean when we went and at last thank heavens got towards peace in Northern Ireland we went for justice within Northern Ireland as well as using security well, as well as a political settlement, but surely that is the lesson. – Clare Short

149585. The Liberals have been pressing for the brief on the basis of which he said there was authority for war. – Clare Short

149586. The Middle East is more angry than ever. I’m afraid that the sort of deceit on the route to war was linked to the lack of preparation for afterwards and the chaos and suffering that continuous – so it won’t go away will it? – Clare Short

149587. Of course we need action, but it should be Just action. – Clare Short

149588. We need to keep this Labour government, it has a good chance of another term. – Clare Short

149589. Obviously this is the world descending into worse and worse standards of targeting civilians both in state violence in Iraq, Gaza and so on and the terrorist retaliation. – Clare Short

149590. The problem is going to be finding the right words and implementing it in a way that is really dealing with people that are inciting and not preventing honest discussion of the underlying causes of this horrendous political situation the world is in now. – Clare Short

149592. One must strike the right balance between speed and quality. – Clare Short

149593. Most of us women like men, you know; it’s just that we find them a constant disappointment. – Clare Short

149594. But then Iraq happened after September 2001 and America claimed that Al Qaeda was there, and we all know that was a lie and we now know that our own Prime Minister deceived the country terribly. – Clare Short

149595. And if you remember the other part of the context is we were then all deceived about the French position and told the French had said they’d veto any second resolution – which wasn’t true, we now know. – Clare Short

149596. I have set out to change the language of the international system. – Clare Short

149597. I mean enormous pressure was brought to bear – Valerie Amos, Lady Amos, went round Africa with people from our intelligence services trying to press them. I had to make sure that we didn’t promise a misuse of aid in a way that would be illegal. – Clare Short

149598. I mean that the time where we need International agreement more than ever on the environment and the rest, poverty we are breaking up our International Institutions and the rule of law and Tony Blair is part of it. – Clare Short

149802. I don’t want a player that’s content with not playing… But we wanted to play the guys that got us here. – Don Shula

149804. And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team, the only undefeated season. – Don Shula

149805. Sure, luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck. – Don Shula

149806. Peyton Manning is doing things that I think no other quarterback in the history of the league has done at the line of scrimmage… I just think they are a team right now that’s got a real chance to run the table. – Don Shula

149807. One thing I never want to be accused of is not working. – Don Shula

149808. The higher the classification of secrecy, the quicker you will report it. – George P. Shultz

149809. I learned in business that you had to be very careful when you told somebody that’s working for you to do something, because the chances were very high he’d do it. In government, you don’t have to worry about that. – George P. Shultz

149810. It was an attempt to stick the Congress’s finger in King Hussein’s eye. – George P. Shultz

149811. Nothing ever gets settled in this town. a seething debating society in which the debate never stops, in which people never give up, including me. And so that’s the atmosphere in which you administer. – George P. Shultz

149812. You’ve got to dream a little bit if you’re going to get somewhere. – George P. Shultz

149813. Oh, you know. I am secretary of state. My trips aren’t successful. I just talk to people. – George P. Shultz

149814. Our national security is at risk when we rely on foreign oil to keep our economy moving forward. – Bill Shuster

149815. Democrats’ attack on the Republican majority leader is nothing but a coordinated agenda to stop an effective leader from accomplishing the people’s business. – Bill Shuster

149816. Especially today as we fight the war on terror – against an enemy that represents hatred, extremism and stands behind no flag – we need to remember the sacrifices that have gone into protecting our flag. – Bill Shuster

149817. Government spending is being restrained, the economy is making progress and moving forward, and the pro-growth, tax cutting policies put in place have allowed businesses to grow, which has brought in additional tax revenue to help pay off the debt. – Bill Shuster

149818. However, the Department of Defense treats these detainees in accord with the Geneva Convention, even though that is not required because of the inhumane methods used by these killers. – Bill Shuster

149819. It is imperative for the health and safety of millions of workers that we ensure that breathing systems needed for protection are widely available, convenient and economical. – Bill Shuster

149820. It is only reasonable that our laws do not force our country to provide safe harbor to those individuals that are being sought out by their governments due to their terrorist ties. – Bill Shuster

149821. Many of the vicious criminals held there have been caught on the battlefield fighting against American troops and shutting down Guantanamo Bay would just require the military to move them elsewhere. – Bill Shuster

149823. Our military commanders have said over and over again that a timetable for withdrawal sends the wrong message to our troops, but more importantly to our enemy. – Bill Shuster

149832. America’s veterans and troops serving abroad today fought hard to preserve our red, white and blue, from the Revolutionary War to today’s Global War Against Terrorism, and Congress’ action today is appropriate for one of our most sacred symbols. – Bill Shuster

149833. Our first responsibility is to protect the American people and we cannot put on blinders to expect that everyone who seeks asylum does so in good faith. – Bill Shuster

149834. Their coverage on the Fox News Channel has been atrocious. The stuff that comes out of Sean Hannity’s mouth has been infuriating. The stuff that Bill O’Reilly says has been illogical. You go up and down the schedule and it’s insanity over there. The number of lies, perpetuated, promoted by Fox News is just shameful and it hurts everybody. – David Shuster

149835. If Michael Steele doesn’t make you sad, well, then there’s radio host Rush Limbaugh, no longer content with wanting the President to fail, Rush is now calling out Mr. Obama as a girly man. – David Shuster

149836. But doesn’t it seem like Chelsea’s sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way? – David Shuster

149837. In this drawing we just let our imagination run wild. We visualized Superman toys, games, and a radio show – that was before TV – and Superman movies. We even visualized Superman billboards. And it’s all come true. – Joe Shuster

149838. He was mostly leaping tall buildings in the beginning. There were cases where he would leap off a tall building or swoop down, and at that point he would look like he was flying, I suppose. It was just natural to draw him like that. – Joe Shuster

149839. I came from Canada when I was about 10 years old, and our family settled in Cleveland, Ohio. – Joe Shuster

149840. I drew a picture on the back of a calendar in pencil. In those days they used to give out free calendars, I had no art paper, so I took whatever else I could. – Joe Shuster

149841. I did all the work at the beginning up until the point where I couldn’t handle the increasingly heavy art production burden alone. I needed, and got, assistance. – Joe Shuster

149842. I had to produce a complete page – or two or three – in one day. I took a lot of pride in my work, and I hated to do a mediocre job. Evidently, some of the writers enjoyed my work best of all for that very reason. – Joe Shuster

149843. I think initially we wanted to use the first letter of the character’s name. We thought S was perfect. – Joe Shuster

149844. And I agreed the feeling of action as he was flying or jumping or leaping – a flowing cape would give it movement. It really helped, and it was very easy to draw. – Joe Shuster

149845. In the beginning, we had a great deal of freedom, and Jerry wrote completely out of his imagination – very, very freely. We even had no editorial supervision to speak of, because they were in such a rush to get the thing in before deadline. But later on we were restricted. – Joe Shuster

149846. Jerry and I always felt that the character was enjoying himself. He was having fun: he wasn’t taking himself seriously. It was always a lark for him, as you can see in my early drawings. – Joe Shuster

149847. Jerry often says that Slam Bradley was really the forerunner of Superman, because we turned it out with no restrictions, complete freedom to do what we wanted; the only problem was that we had a deadline. – Joe Shuster

149848. Jerry picked up the technique of visualizing the story as a movie scenario; and whenever he gave me a script, I would see it as a screenplay. That was the technique that Jerry used, and I just picked it up. – Joe Shuster

149849. Jerry reversed the usual formula of the superhero who goes to another planet. He put the superhero in ordinary, familiar surroundings, instead of the other way around, as was done in most science fiction. That was the first time I can recall that it had ever been done. – Joe Shuster

149850. Not only that, but when I first met Joe, to my intense delight, he showed me that he was a collector. He was collecting some of the early Tarzan pages by Hal Foster, and, later, early Flash Gordons; and I found that we were both absolutely interested in the same type of thing. – Joe Shuster

149851. Those early sketches looked too cartoony; I really wanted to do detailed drawings – I was taking anatomy classes – but unfortunately I wasn’t able to do it because of the time element. – Joe Shuster

149852. Clark Kent, I suppose, had a little bit of Harold Lloyd in him. – Joe Shuster

149853. Before I ever put anything on paper, Jerry and I would talk back and forth. – Joe Shuster

149854. I was mild-mannered, wore glasses, was very shy with women. – Joe Shuster

149855. There is no one looking out for us. We are all alone. – M. Night Shyamalan

149856. There are a lot of things I can take, and a few that I can’t. What I can’t take is when my older brother, who’s everything that I want to be, starts losing faith in things. I saw that look in your eyes last night. I don’t ever want to see that look in your eyes again. – M. Night Shyamalan

149857. Movies will end up being this esoteric art form, where only singular people will put films out in a small group of theaters. – M. Night Shyamalan

149858. There’s a monster outside my room, can I have a glass of water? – M. Night Shyamalan

149859. See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? – M. Night Shyamalan

149860. Are you in my dream too? – M. Night Shyamalan

149861. I knew the moment it happened, it was a miracle. I could have been kissing her when she threw up. It would have scarred me for life. I may never have recovered. – M. Night Shyamalan

149862. I like to write in a shroud of secrecy because I have to keep finding ways to scare myself. – M. Night Shyamalan

149863. Is it possible that there are no coincidences? – M. Night Shyamalan

149864. When they see those fourteen lights, they’re looking at a miracle. And deep down, they feel that whatever’s going to happen, there will be someone there to help them. And that fills them with hope. – M. Night Shyamalan

149865. Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has ever been put up to a critic. – Jean Sibelius

149866. I’d probably be famous now if I wasn’t such a good waitress. – Jane Siberry

149867. The biggest challenge was trying to convey the story of the making of a film that isn’t finished yet – and which won’t be finished until the third film, The Return of the King, reaches our cinemas towards the end of 2003! – Brian Sibley

149868. The older we get, the swifter time seems to pass and the quicker memories seem to fade. – Brian Sibley

149869. Maybe it’s just my own chronic morbidity and melancholia, but I really do think about it a great deal and quite often in the small hours of the night when, it is said, the greatest numbers of people die. – Brian Sibley

149870. Watching the completed version of The Two Towers for example, I was very conscious of scenes – sometimes whole sequences – that I had seen being filmed or edited but which hadn’t made it into the final cut. – Brian Sibley

149871. I’ve lost all my money on these films. They are not commercial. But I’m glad to lose it this way. To have for a souvenir of my life pictures like Umberto D. and The Bicycle Thief. – Vittorio De Sica

149872. Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy. – Vittorio De Sica

149873. Kennedy did not have to run the risk of having his ideas and his words shortened and adulterated by a correspondent. This was the television era, not only in campaigning, but in holding the presidency. – Hugh Sidey

149874. They can see the brave silhouette from almost anywhere in the District of Columbia and use it as a compass to locate other monuments and eventually to find their way out of the great, gray federal wilderness. – Hugh Sidey

149875. The problems seem so easy out there on the stump. Deficits shrink with a rhetorical flourish. – Hugh Sidey

149876. The legions of reporters who cover politics don’t want to quit the clash and thunder of electoral combat for the dry duty of analyzing the federal budget. As a consequence, we have created the perpetual presidential campaign. – Hugh Sidey

149877. A White House dinner is the American family assembled, from labor leaders to billionaires, actors, architects, academicians and athletes. – Hugh Sidey

149878. A sense of humor… is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life. – Hugh Sidey

149879. The prime minister found something hopeful in the man’s eyes and manner. The 30 or so people who run this world analyze one another that way and then make decisions of life and death for us. Scary, but true. – Hugh Sidey

149880. When you are dining with a demon, you got to have a long spoon. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149881. A fallen lighthouse is more dangerous than a reef. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149882. A revolutionary idea is usually one with its sleeves rolled up. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149892. I have seen many ladies displaying different styles and different styles displaying ladies. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149893. We are all Adam’s children – it’s just the skin that makes all the difference. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149894. You can’t play a symphony alone, it takes an orchestra to play it. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149895. We’ll take the cake with the red cherry on top. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149896. There is light at the end of the tunnel for India, but it’s that of an oncoming train which will run them over. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149897. The third umpires should be changed as often as nappies and for the same reason. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149898. The Indians are finding the gaps like a pin in a haystack. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149899. The ball whizzes past like a bumblebee and the Indians are in the sea. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149900. One who doesn’t throw the dice can never expect to score a six. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149901. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And venture belongs to the adventurous. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149906. The cat with gloves catches no mice. – Navjot Singh Sidhu

149907. If vice and corruption prevail, liberty cannot subsist; but if virtue have the advantage, arbitrary power cannot be established. – Algernon Sidney

149908. Liars need to have good memories. – Algernon Sidney

149909. Fruits are always of the same nature with the seeds and roots from which they come, and trees are known by the fruits they bear: as a man begets a man, and a beast a beast, that society of men which constitutes a government upon the foundation of justice. – Algernon Sidney

149910. Liberty cannot be preserved, if the manners of the people are corrupted. – Algernon Sidney

149911. I’ve had 79 to 80 years of show business. I started when I was 5 with a man called Tom Mix. I didn’t have time to go to school because I was in silent movies, I was in radio, I was in burlesque, I worked with the circus. I’m all show business! – George Sidney

149912. It’s a terrible thing to say I know. I’ve only done what I wanted to do. It’s a real luxury. I only made the pictures I wanted to make and lived in the places I’ve wanted to live. I’m very, very happy. – George Sidney

149913. Once I make a picture, I never look at it again. – George Sidney

149914. When you worked in a studio it was the studio system that you kind of missed because it was a big, big family. I mean MGM had 5,000 people working a day there. You miss it. – George Sidney

149915. Either I will find a way, or I will make one. – Philip Sidney

149916. The ingredients of health and long life, are great temperance, open air, easy labor, and little care. – Philip Sidney

149917. The only disadvantage of an honest heart is credulity. – Philip Sidney

149918. Our erected wit maketh us to know what perfection is. – Philip Sidney

149919. A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger. – Philip Sidney

149920. It is great happiness to be praised of them who are most praiseworthy. – Philip Sidney

149921. It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened. – Philip Sidney

149922. Fritz Lang was one of my dearest, dearest friends. I loved working with him. – Sylvia Sidney

149923. I don’t know if there was even a hundred million dollars in the whole country! – Sylvia Sidney

149924. Nooooooo… favorite film, that’s like asking if you have a favorite kid! – Sylvia Sidney

149925. Tim and Fritz Lang I loved working with. Not Hitchcock so much. There was no communication. – Sylvia Sidney

149926. I liked television, and television liked me. – Joel Siegel

149927. Real movie producers aren’t this nice. – Joel Siegel

149928. Samuel L. Jackson is one of the best actors there is. – Joel Siegel

149929. Television news was expanding to an hour, and producers did not know how to fill the space and time. – Joel Siegel

149930. The studio should not have released this film. – Joel Siegel

149931. There are scenes here and effects here that would make George S. Patton wince. – Joel Siegel

149932. They are words you don’t easily forget: I don’t have good news. – Joel Siegel

149933. What I learned from this movie, 40 Days and 40 Nights: Absitenence can be a very good thing. Especially from box offices where this film is playing. – Joel Siegel

149934. When all the performances are excellent, critics understand it’s the direction. – Joel Siegel

149935. You can’t believe Russell Crowe is the same actor who won an Oscar one year ago for Gladiator. – Joel Siegel

149936. I started crying 20 seconds into the movie and didn’t stop till it was over. – Joel Siegel

149937. I have no idea why one of our most original filmmakers would want to spend two years of his life translating someone else’s movie from Spanish into English. And it wasn’t such a good film in Spanish, either. – Joel Siegel

149938. I do my best not to have any expectations when I go into a movie because it’s not fair. – Joel Siegel

149939. Follow your passion. – Joel Siegel

149940. Maybe by his second year in Hogwarts, Harry Potter will learn the trick to making a movie this good, but don’t bet on it. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is one of the best films of the year. – Joel Siegel

149941. If you fight back and get hit, it hurts a little while; if you don’t fight back it hurts forever. – Joel Siegel

149942. So I look at a lot of stuff now that I did and some of it looks tame to me, but my interest in terms of what I want to say with it is a little different. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149943. Cartooning is an honorable thing. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149944. So there’s kind of a simultaneous aspect to pushing the boundaries, and being very safe. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149945. I want to say 90% of stuff out there is just crap that got made. The main point is that it got produced. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149946. I still love a lot of the guys who just paint. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149947. I didn’t want to feel constrained, so I took on the Mutants. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149948. For a while I felt very alone; sort of out there in the world of comics, especially here in the States. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149949. Especially with Elektra, because I’m doing a lot of the covers for the new version of Elektra. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149950. I wanted to learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149951. Comics are really my life blood in a lot of respects. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149952. I was lucky enough to be given books that weren’t top sellers; books that were kind of under the radar. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149953. But with comics you’re reading and assimilating an image simultaneously, instead of just reading or watching the tube. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149954. But there’s still an avenue for smaller comics and personal expression. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149955. But if I really want to produce my own work and tell stories, then I will. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149956. But I’m aware of the fact that I’m working in a commercial venue where I’m producing something that I wouldn’t normally be approaching the way I’m doing it. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149957. And that, to me, is the main attraction to comics. It’s an avenue to say what you want to say. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149958. And I’ve never viewed comics as assignments for the client. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149959. After that I jumped, especially being in art school, to the illustrators. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149960. Do the story in the way it really demands to be done, which may mean using several different styles or only one style; but it’s still about respecting the story. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149961. People who can pull you in and take you on a journey, as opposed to simply adding flash. Again, that feels very clinical, and I don’t respond to that the way I used to. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149962. To me, the technique was almost irrelevant; it was what was coming across. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149963. To me, that’s one of the things that I love about doing this stuff. One day I can work on this piece in watercolor, and then work on something else on the computer, or work on something else that’s a completely different approach. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149964. There is a whole generation of people who are going to see movies or watch TV who don’t want to work. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149965. That was a real learning element for me, because I realized that the more true you are to yourself, the more you will lose people. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149966. So, when the special effects are at the service of the story and draw you into it, that is really the magic. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149967. So much of Jaws was amazing because the mind filled in what was missing. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149968. I wanted to be complete, because I figured that, visually, there was an avenue to explore with painted stuff. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149969. So cartooning, for me, is an honorable thing. It’s pushing the envelope. It’s the truth of something through exaggeration. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149970. You’re telling the story, creating the sets, doing the lighting, the designing, and establishing the pace. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149971. One of the problems I have with a lot of movies these days is that everything is too well lit. In the world of digital creations there is a tendency to show too much. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149972. Nothing is really media driven or committee driven, so you can actually just produce something. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149973. Like Godfather, you look at a movie like that, or something that James Gray has directed, a film with minimal or pin lighting as opposed to everything being lit bright and flat, where everything is evident. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149974. Kyle Baker’s work is really funny, but it’s also got a very clear vision. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149975. It’s interesting, because in the corporate stuff there’s a dichotomy there, depending on the creator. Even what, in essence, may be a very safe corporate approach, there is some stuff that is allowed to be pushed. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149976. If you’re going to establish a certain level of unreality than you have to deal with it. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149977. If somebody can inspire me, it feels really special. – Bill Sienkiewicz

149978. The profession of the writer has its thorns about which the reader does not dream. – Henryk Sienkiewicz

149979. But the French writers always had more originality and independence than others, and that regulator, which elsewhere was religion, long since ceased to exist for them. – Henryk Sienkiewicz

149980. Day is like day as two beads in a rosary, unless changes of weather form the only variety. – Henryk Sienkiewicz

149981. Evidently the merit depends on the result of the work. – Henryk Sienkiewicz

149982. If the infinity of the sea may call out thus, perhaps when a man is growing old, calls come to him, too, from another infinity still darker and more deeply mysterious; and the more he is wearied by life the dearer are those calls to him. – Henryk Sienkiewicz

149983. It has been said that Poland is dead, exhausted, enslaved, but here is the proof of her life and triumph. – Henryk Sienkiewicz

149984. On an exhausted field, only weeds grow. – Henryk Sienkiewicz

149985. The sky is one whole, the water another; and between those two infinities the soul of man is in loneliness. – Henryk Sienkiewicz

149986. This homage has been rendered not to me – for the Polish soil is fertile and does not lack better writers than me – but to the Polish achievement, the Polish genius. – Henryk Sienkiewicz

149987. A man must be strong in that profession, he must have vigor of body and mind, yet I am all out of breath if I walk up a hill; I have not the heart to crush even a fly. – Gregorio M. Sierra

149988. How can you expect a man to be brave when he meets with nothing in life but misfortune? – Gregorio M. Sierra

149989. That’s what I do… Some people smoke weed, some people smoke cigarettes, some people snort coke… I pop pills, I smoke and I drink syrup, that’s my twist. – Beanie Sigel

149990. I am the Roman Emperor, and am above grammar. – Emperor Sigismund

149991. The golden age has not passed; it lies in the future. – Paul Signac

149992. The anarchist painter is not the one who will create anarchist pictures, but the one who will fight with all his individuality against official conventions. – Paul Signac

149993. He bore no grudge against those he had wronged. – Simone Signoret

149994. I suspect there isn’t an actor alive who was able to truthfully answer his family’s questions after his first day’s activity in his future profession. – Simone Signoret

149995. If Marilyn is in love with my husband it proves she has good taste, for I am in love with him too. – Simone Signoret

149996. Nostalgia is not what it used to be. – Simone Signoret

149997. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years. – Simone Signoret

149998. The strength of a nation, especially of a republican nation, is in the intelligent and well ordered homes of the people. – Lydia Sigourney

149999. I will devote my body and soul to the service of the people and the nation. – Norodom Sihamoni

150000. In all my life and in the future, I will always be a faithful and loyal servant to all of my compatriots. – Norodom Sihamoni
