158193. Since that first showing of Foolish Wives I have seemed to walk through vast crowds of people, their white American faces turned towards me in stern reproof. – Erich von Stroheim
158194. In Hollywood – in Hollywood, you’re as good as your last picture. – Erich von Stroheim
158195. I would like to have you quote me, Erich von Stroheim, as having said on this day of this month of this year this one thing: you Americans are living on baby food. – Erich von Stroheim
158196. I was reared in an atmosphere where a great deal of attention was paid to women’s hairdressing. – Erich von Stroheim
158197. For my Vienna is as different from what they call Vienna now as the quick is different from the dead. – Erich von Stroheim
158198. Fay has spirituality too, but she also has that very real sex appeal that takes hold of the hearts of men. – Erich von Stroheim
158199. Bobbed hair makes women look uniform. They lack individuality. – Erich von Stroheim
158200. I am just old-fashioned enough to prefer long hair. – Erich von Stroheim
158201. Because I select my players from a feeling that comes to me when I am with them, a certain sympathy you might call it, or a vibration that exists between us that convinces me they are right. – Erich von Stroheim
158202. It is not because I do not love my adopted land – it is the natural feeling of one far from home, who remembers those happy, carefree days when life flowed at full tide, without responsibility, flashing past one like the drama in a fascinating story of adventure and romance. – Erich von Stroheim
158203. As soon as I had seen Fay Wray and spoken with her for a few minutes, I knew I had found the right girl. – Erich von Stroheim
158204. And yet because of my attempt at sincerity I have been condemned, hooted at, reviled; filthy rumors have been circulated about me, not about my characterizations but about me personally, my private self. – Erich von Stroheim
158205. It is characteristic of the epistemological tradition to present us with partial scenarios and then to demand whole or categorical answers as it were. – Avrum Stroll
158206. In point of fact all Americans are automatically turned down by China these days because of the escalation of Johnson’s war in Vietnam, which several times has intruded into China. – Anna Louise Strong
158207. To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be. – Anna Louise Strong
158208. They say the Pharaohs built the pyramids Do you think one Pharaoh dropped one bead of sweat? We built the pyramids for the Pharaohs and we’re building for them yet. – Anna Louise Strong
158209. So far we have not convinced the Chinese authorities. My own brother was refused a visa on what was probably my last chance of seeing him when he was going around the world on a tour. Scott Nearing was similarly refused. – Anna Louise Strong
158210. I have very little hope that any permission can be gained for your organization. However, I shall place it in a special folder with similar applications and raise the question from time to time with such people here as may have authority. – Anna Louise Strong
158211. Having no diplomatic representation in Washington, China has no sources which allow her to check the character of applicants and therefore makes the practice of refusing everybody from the United States. – Anna Louise Strong
158212. A certain number of Americans are already in Peking and most of us here feel that it would be very useful for the United States and especially for the Left-wing progressive movement in the United States if groups of students such as you mention could make a tour of China. – Anna Louise Strong
158213. Strong I am one of those who never knows the direction of my journey until I have almost arrived. – Anna Louise Strong
158214. There the union of Church and State tends strongly to paralyze some of the members of the body of Christ. Here there is no such influence to destroy spiritual life and power. – Josiah Strong
158215. Our fifty principal cities contain 39.3 per cent of our entire German population, and 45.8 per cent of the Irish. Our ten larger cities only nine per cent of the entire population, but 23 per cent of the foreign. – Josiah Strong
158216. The city has become a serious menace to our civilization… It has a peculiar attraction for the immigrant. – Josiah Strong
158217. What if it should be God’s plan to people the world with better and finer material? – Josiah Strong
158218. The city is the nerve center of our civilization. It is also the storm center. – Josiah Strong
158219. The rich are richer, and the poor are poorer, in the city than elsewhere; and, as a rule, the greater are the riches of the rich and the poverty of the poor. – Josiah Strong
158220. There are no more new worlds. The unoccupied arable lands of the earth are limited, and will soon be taken. – Josiah Strong
158221. If I read not amiss, this powerful race will move down upon Mexico, down upon Central and South America, out upon the islands of the sea, over upon Africa and beyond. And can any one doubt that the results of this competition of races will be the “survival of the fittest?” – Josiah Strong
158222. This is due partly to the fact that Americans are much better fed than Europeans, and partly to the undeveloped resources of a new country, but more largely to our climate, which acts as a constant stimulus. – Josiah Strong
158223. We have seen… that, although England is by far the richest nation of Europe, we have already outstripped her in the race after wealth, and we have only begun the development of our vast resources. – Josiah Strong
158224. Our aristocracy, unlike that of Europe, is open to all comers. – Josiah Strong
158225. The time is coming when the pressure of population on the means of subsistence will be felt here as it is now felt in Europe and Asia. Then will the world enter upon a new stage of its history – the final competition of races, for which the Anglo-Saxon is being schooled. – Josiah Strong
158226. As a rule, our largest cities are the worst governed. – Josiah Strong
158227. Long before the thousand millions are here, the mighty centrifugal tendency, inherent in this stock and strengthened in the United States, will assert itself. – Josiah Strong
158228. It may be easily shown, and is of no small significance, that the two great ideas of which the Anglo-Saxon is the exponent are having a fuller development in the United States than in Great Britain. – Josiah Strong
158229. In Europe the various ranks of society are, like the strata of the earth, fixed and fossilized. There can be no great change without a terrible upheaval, a social earthquake. – Josiah Strong
158230. Heretofore there has always been in the history of the world a comparatively unoccupied land westward, into which the crowded countries of the East have poured their surplus populations. – Josiah Strong
158231. Here, also, has been evolved the form of government consistent with the largest possible civil liberty. – Josiah Strong
158232. Furthermore, it is significant that the marked characteristics of this race are being here emphasized most. – Josiah Strong
158233. Commercial distress in any great business center will the more surely create widespread disaster. – Josiah Strong
158234. Not only does the proportion of the poor increase with the growth of the city, but their condition becomes more wretched. – Josiah Strong
158235. It is not necessary to argue to those for whom I write that the two great needs of mankind, that all men may be lifted up into the light of the highest Christian civilization, are, first, a pure, spiritual Christianity, and second, civil liberty. – Josiah Strong
158236. Real people are places to me as much as persons: I want to see them, as I want to see the places I am fond of, in all weathers and at all times of the year. – Leonard Alfred George Strong
158237. People and places are the source of my work, both in prose and verse-and this remark is not the truism it seems, for I do not distinguish as sharply between a place and a person as most people seem to do. – Leonard Alfred George Strong
158238. I broke down while at Oxford, was rejected by a record number of medical tribunals during the War, and finally got permission to leave Oxford and do civilian work till the War ended. – Leonard Alfred George Strong
158239. Country people give me more than writers, and country places than towns. – Leonard Alfred George Strong
158240. Because I had children relatively late – in my 40s rather than in my 20s – it wasn’t anything I ever knew that I would do. It kind of happened to me: I met the right woman and we had children. It was a revelation because it suddenly makes me realize, ‘Oh, I get it. Now I know what to do with the rest of my life.’ – Mark Strong
158241. My mother moved abroad when I was 11, my dad wasn’t around from the time that I was a baby, so I was not the product of a family, but a product of observation – of watching what went on around me, of watching who I liked, what I didn’t like, what I thought was good behavior and what I thought was bad behavior and tailoring myself accordingly. – Mark Strong
158242. It’s great to have the chance to play a character before he goes to the dark side, or the yellow side if you will. Normally, you don’t get that opportunity. The narrative of a movie usually demands that you are that guy from the start. – Mark Strong
158243. You sign for a sequel for everything these days, just in case, options. In the past, you avoided them like the plague because it meant somewhere down the road you couldn’t take a job because you had to do a sequel. Now it’s a feature of pretty much any feature you do. – Mark Strong
158244. In the past, if I didn’t work, I didn’t eat but now I feel I can not work and I won’t starve. – Mark Strong
158245. The idea of transformation – playing something I’m not – is the bit I enjoy most about acting. – Mark Strong
158246. I had this extraordinarily bizarre moment when, two Fridays ago, my missus gave birth to our second child at 11am and by the same time the following day I was sitting around a table with Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio in Rabat in Morocco, rehearsing a scene we were going to shoot the next day. – Mark Strong
158247. And I think in your 40s, you land a little bit, physically and mentally, you arrive at a place where you feel you’ve learned some stuff. Having children at that point meant I had something very useful to do for the next 20 years. – Mark Strong
158248. All these portrayals we see of knights fighting must be absolute rubbish because knights in armour could literally have only had two or three blows and then they’d have had to sit down to have a cup of tea. – Mark Strong
158249. If you think about Shakespeare, you remember Richard III and Macbeth before you remember Ferdinand, whose role is just to fall in love and be a bit of a wimp. I love the baddies. More important, though, is making the baddies somehow, weirdly, understood. – Mark Strong
158250. I’m very organized and tidy in my home life and I generally do something myself rather than farm it out to somebody else. I don’t have an assistant or anything because I think I can do it myself. – Mark Strong
158251. We must, from here on in, all go down the same path… There may not be another chance. – Maurice Strong
158252. Not to say that corporations are perfect today, but even grand corporations like Dupont have made immense progress in translating some of their past environmentally damaging practices into new profit opportunities. – Maurice Strong
158253. So, what we do as individuals matters. It adds up. – Maurice Strong
158254. The Prime Minister of India, at a meeting that I co-chaired a few months ago, stated that any development that is not sustainable is not development. – Maurice Strong
158255. The tendency is to keep doing things the way you have done them. – Maurice Strong
158256. Toyota was the first to put a commercial fuel cell powered car on the road, and I have no doubt that Toyota will continue to be in the front lines in the development of competitive fuel cell vehicles. – Maurice Strong
158257. Nevertheless, the concept of sustainable development is now known – even amongst those who haven’t accepted it – and it’s recognized, debated and followed by an increasing number of businesses. – Maurice Strong
158258. We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse. – Maurice Strong
158259. One of the things that I’ve always thought I would like to do is to develop an environmental index. Then people can measure their own environmental performance on an index as they do in other ways. – Maurice Strong
158260. We need what I have often called an ecological approach to the management of these resources and we do not have that now. We have the inertia of past habits, unsustainable habits. – Maurice Strong
158261. We owe at least this much to future generations, from whom we have borrowed a fragile planet called Earth. – Maurice Strong
158262. We’re either going to save Ihe world or no one will be saved. – Maurice Strong
158263. Well they do have a use, but we should never believe that any international conference is going to suddenly solve problems like the condition of the global environment. – Maurice Strong
158264. What pleases me most is that sustainable development is on almost everybody’s agenda now. – Maurice Strong
158265. We in the industrialized world make a greater difference because our ecological footprint, our impact on the condition of the environment, is 40 to 50 times larger than that of people in the developing world. – Maurice Strong
158266. After all, sustainability means running the global environment – Earth Inc. – like a corporation: with depreciation, amortization and maintenance accounts. In other words, keeping the asset whole, rather than undermining your natural capital. – Maurice Strong
158267. Ted Turner is still a leader. And he sets a great example. His ability financially has been reduced, but his influence and his example still is an important asset to the whole environmental movement. – Maurice Strong
158268. A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmental damaging consumption patterns. – Maurice Strong
158269. Licences to have babies incidentally is something that I got in trouble for some years ago for suggesting even in Canada that this might be necessary at some point, at least some restriction on the right to have a child. – Maurice Strong
158270. Also, it is interesting that developing countries, with China and India perhaps in the lead, where the future of the global environment will be decided are now on board with the case for sustainable development. – Maurice Strong
158271. Don’t accept that you can’t make a difference. Because if you can’t make a difference, you won’t make a difference, and if you put a multiplier on that we will continue on an unsustainable pathway. – Maurice Strong
158272. I am convinced the prophets of doom have to be taken seriously. – Maurice Strong
158273. I am on the board of corporations who contribute both to environmental problems and their solutions. And I am on the NGO side: the Earth Council and other organizations. – Maurice Strong
158274. I believe we are going to move into a situation where the more effective conferences will be smaller, more specialized, more focused, with occasional large gatherings to get the attention of the larger world. – Maurice Strong
158275. I was with Ted Turner when he came to see Kofi Annan – the Secretary-General of the UN – to announce his decision to put $1 billion to the service of UN projects and programs. – Maurice Strong
158276. I’ve developed a huge regard for Toyota for its environmental awareness, for its immense commitment to research and development in this field, and for its leadership in developing hybrids which others are now following. – Maurice Strong
158277. If you want to maintain a sustainable supply of fish you have to farm the fish, rather than mine them. So putting your money into fishing fleets that are going to exacerbate the problem by over-fishing is not the way to preserve the underlying asset. – Maurice Strong
158278. In addition to this, they already have a fuel cell car on the road in Japan. It is subsidized from within the corporation because they are still at a high cost. – Maurice Strong
158279. Inertia is a powerful force in human and political affairs. – Maurice Strong
158280. I am President of the UN created University for Peace, which has a strong commitment to the relationship between peace, security and the environment. I meet with young people around the world and I always come away enthused and encouraged. – Maurice Strong
158281. To have an opportunity to make a movie like Cabin Fever, you have to get stuff thrown on you or you have to fall into a pit of water. It brings you that much closer to your mindset as a character. – Rider Strong
158282. I don’t really want to be doing high budget, where they’ve got cranes and everything. That just sounds boring, having to do the same thing over and over again. – Rider Strong
158283. I hope to always be doing some low budget things. – Rider Strong
158284. I spent four days and four nights just covered in blood, falling in the water. – Rider Strong
158285. I think we’ll make sure we have Boy Meets World reunions. – Rider Strong
158286. I’d much rather do one or two takes of one thing and then see how it goes. – Rider Strong
158287. Maybe that’s my lot in life as an actor, to be the guy who gets crapped on everywhere he goes. Oh God. – Rider Strong
158288. You’ve seen how they make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They’re never really there. They’re in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around. – Rider Strong
158289. There’s a real separation between actors and all the other functions of Hollywood. If you’re an actor you’re somehow not a member of the crew. You’re somehow more special. I hate that. – Rider Strong
158290. Cabin Fever was murder. There was a lot of psychological stress, like not knowing if we were going to finish the movie. The day we arrived to start rehearsals, our main investors pulled out. – Rider Strong
158291. Maybe that’s the whole teen oeuvre, you know covering people in disgusting bodily fluids and whatnot. – Rider Strong
158292. Some shows, like PPG, tape in a group session, which is always more fun because you can play off each other. – Tara Strong
158293. We really have a lot of fun at these sessions, we all get along and kid around with each other throughout the job. – Tara Strong
158294. We all sit in front of our mics and our scripts lay on music stands. Then the silliness begins! – Tara Strong
158295. There’s a lot more to see when you’re playing and because of the advances in technology it makes room for all kinds of new characters. – Tara Strong
158296. Sometimes a role might be difficult on my throat. – Tara Strong
158297. Whenever you do an animated project or a voice-over project it’s inevitable that part of your personality comes into play. – Tara Strong
158298. My son is old enough to respond to my work. To me, that’s what it is all about. – Tara Strong
158299. Many people think voice over artists just read, there’s much more to it. Without acting beats, scene study and improving skills, you won’t make it. – Tara Strong
158300. In general, I find that for videos the acting is more realistic. – Tara Strong
158301. Don’t be afraid to look silly. – Tara Strong
158302. Start as early as you can. Make tapes of your characters. – Tara Strong
158303. I didn’t record any additional dialogue for this CD, they are excerpts pulled from existing episodes. – Tara Strong
158304. If I am not right for something there are many talented actors out there that will get it. – Tara Strong
158305. I had to make squirrel noises as Bubbles and without realizing it, I was making the face and putting my fingers up to my face to look like a squirrel and everyone made fun of me for the rest of the day. – Tara Strong
158306. I think it’s definitely beneficial for these characters to have good acting voices behind them and it affects the characters in a way that people can feel like they’re part of the game and that they know these characters. – Tara Strong
158307. I think there are more female characters in videogames now but I also think that’s because videogames in general are more diverse now. – Tara Strong
158308. I usually have 10 different animation projects going at a time. – Tara Strong
158309. I’m not sure specifically but there’s definitely parts of me in Rikku. – Tara Strong
158310. It is easy to study the rules of overloading and of templates without noticing that together they are one of the keys to elegant and efficient type-safe containers. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158311. Thus, the standard library will serve as both a tool and as a teacher. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158312. This evolution may compromise Java’s claim of being simpler than C++, but my guess is that the effort will make Java a better language than it is today. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158313. The standard library saves programmers from having to reinvent the wheel. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158314. Personally, I look forward to better tools for analyzing C++ source code. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158315. People who passionately want to believe that the world is basically simple react to this with a fury that goes beyond what I consider appropriate for discussing a programming language. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158316. My list of basic tools is a partial answer to the question about what has changed: Over the past few years, large numbers of programmers have come to depend on elaborate tools to interface code with systems facilities. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158317. With the increasing importance of standards for system-level objects such as COM and CORBA, it is particularly important that the C++ bindings to those be clean, well documented, and simple to use. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158318. I would encourage nonproprietary standards for tools and libraries. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158319. I find languages that support just one programming paradigm constraining. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158320. However, when Java is promoted as the sole programming language, its flaws and limitations become serious. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158321. First, I’d like to see the basic tools such as compilers, debuggers, profilers, database interfaces, GUI builders, CAD tools, and so forth fully support the ISO standard. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158322. Defining OO as based on the use of class hierarchies and virtual functions is also practical in that it provides some guidance as to where OO is likely to be successful. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158323. Clearly, I reject the view that there is one way that is right for everyone and for every problem. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158324. After all, C++ isn’t a perfect match for Java’s design aims either. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158325. Certainly not every good program is object-oriented, and not every object-oriented program is good. – Bjarne Stroustrup
158326. Scientists across the globe are catching on – global warming is not real science. There is a sucker born every minute who believes in it, and Al Gore is playing the role of P.T. Barnum. – Max S. Strozier
158327. I think we’re going to have to forget about the radio and just go back to word of mouth. – Joe Strummer
158328. What I like about playing America is you can be pretty sure you’re not going to get hit with a full can of beer when you’re singing and I really enjoy that! – Joe Strummer
158329. Yeah, all those things, responsibility, pressure. It’s a bit stressful. I try and come to terms with it by not thinking about it. – Joe Strummer
158330. When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don’t learn nothing, cause hey, it’s not your fault, it’s his fault, over there. – Joe Strummer
158331. With The Simpsons you can go back to work with a keen heart. – Joe Strummer
158332. I began thinking there should be an American phrase book, ’cause I’ve got an Italian phrase book, and an Arabic one… now a British one. I think it’d be pretty good to have an American phrase book. – Joe Strummer
158333. I have a weird life because I live on songwriting royalties, which are a strange income. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesn’t. – Joe Strummer
158334. Anyway, it’s good to be sent back to the underground. There’s always a good side to bad things and the good side to this is that at least everyone has to go back down. – Joe Strummer
158335. Omit needless words. – William Strunk, Jr.
158336. Vigorous writing is concise. – William Strunk, Jr.
158337. Make definite assertions. Avoid tame, colorless, hesitating, non-committal language. – William Strunk, Jr.
158338. It is worse to be irresolute than to be wrong. – William Strunk, Jr.
158339. If you don’t know how to pronounce a word, say it loud! – William Strunk, Jr.
158340. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. – William Strunk, Jr.
158341. Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. – William Strunk, Jr.
158342. Famous remarks are very seldom quoted correctly. – Simeon Strunsky
158343. New York has more hermits than will be found in all the forests, mountains and deserts of the United States. – Simeon Strunsky
158344. People who want to understand democracy should spend less time in the library with Aristotle and more time on the buses and in the subway. – Simeon Strunsky
158345. I get bored at the theatre a lot because I notice that there’s not always a connection between the actors. They may be technically proficient, but they’re not surprising each other. I’m thrilled by actors who make choices that are surprising. – Lusia Strus
158346. What draws me to the theatre, and what appealed to me about Too Much Light, is that you have no idea what’s going to happen. That’s the most exciting part of theatre, it’s never the same. If it were, it would be like watching a movie. – Lusia Strus
158347. There’s a part of me that wants to be known and make a comfortable living but still be able to go grocery shopping. My overall idea of success is having people I want to work with want to work with me. – Lusia Strus
158348. I’ve always had this deep and chronic sense of dissatisfaction. – Lusia Strus
158349. I think my face and voice suit me better as I get older. – Lusia Strus
158350. I realized that I wanted to play characters and do traditional theatre. I wanted to make believe again. I like putting on a costume and pretending to be someone else for a few hours, and I have a great respect for playwrights. – Lusia Strus
158351. What I love about theatre is that it disappears as it happens. – Lusia Strus
158352. I don’t call myself an artist. I act. That’s what I do. – Lusia Strus
158353. I always wanted attention, and I realized I could make people laugh. – Lusia Strus
158354. I actually would love to live in New York. But I need land; I need space. I’d love to move to a place where I could have a lot of land and a goat. – Lusia Strus
158355. College was a great time. I partied there, but I also learned how to act. – Lusia Strus
158356. Acting is very much like a child making believe. I’m not one to become a character, but I fall in love with the character. It’s like having faith; you’re going to be that person for a while. – Lusia Strus
158357. I personally take cues directly from the script, then I like to surprise the other actors. But you must maintain control on a level and see how far you can go up, down or out emotionally. You have to balance the craft with spontaneity. – Lusia Strus
158358. I pray to be of service to the playwright, the audience, the other actors and my character. – Lusia Strus
158359. I just feel energized when I am around young, talented people. There is something about these kids that’s amazing. I learn as much from them as they do from me. – Sally Struthers
158360. If a man is pictured chopping off a woman’s breast, it only gets a R rating, but if, God forbid, a man is pictured kissing a woman’s breast, it gets an X rating. Why is violence more acceptable than tenderness? – Sally Struthers
158361. I had such a great year I didn’t want to forget it. – Dick Stuart
158362. I’ve been very, very successful. It’s very satisfying to me. – Gloria Stuart
158363. When I went back to New York with somewhat of a name, they didn’t want movie actresses. – Gloria Stuart
158364. In the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, everybody was pretty tense on the set. – Gloria Stuart
158365. It never occurred to me that it would be a big hit internationally and forever. – Gloria Stuart
158366. It was a struggle treating Claude Rains as my lover, but we were friendly. It was no great love affair. – Gloria Stuart
158367. The great actresses and actors receive awards for great roles in great films. – Gloria Stuart
158368. The John Ford pictures I made are highly regarded, but at the time they didn’t seem like that. – Gloria Stuart
158369. There’s no point in working if I’m not involved and interested. – Gloria Stuart
158370. When I was little I thought, isn’t it nice that everybody celebrates on my birthday? Because it’s July 4th. – Gloria Stuart
158371. I love working. – Gloria Stuart

158438. Science fiction, outside of poetry, is the only literary field which has no limits, no parameters whatsoever. – Theodore Sturgeon
158439. Some major writers have a huge impact, like Ayn Rand, who to my mind is a lousy fiction writer because her writing has no compassion and virtually no humor.

158460. Here’s the point to be made – there are no synonyms. There are no two words that mean exactly the same thing. – Theodore Sturgeon
158461. I feel angry that I can’t be hypnotized. I’m not putting it down, and I’m not saying that it doesn’t exist. I have talked to a great many people who are very good at it, but so far nobody has ever been able to hypnotize me. – Theodore Sturgeon
158462. I find to my mixed astonishment that I do dream, but I didn’t know it. – Theodore Sturgeon

158465. I quit my job, and went ashore to become a writer. – Theodore Sturgeon

158784. It is often said that the earth belongs to the race, as if raw land was a boon, or gift. – William Graham Sumner
158785. It is remarkable that jealousy of individual property in land often goes along with very exaggerated doctrines of tribal or national property in land. – William Graham Sumner
158786. It is the tendency of the social burdens to crush out the middle class, and to force society into an organization of only two classes, one at each social extreme. – William Graham Sumner
158787. Joint-stock companies are yet in their infancy, and incorporated capital, instead of being a thing which can be overturned, is a thing which is becoming more and more indispensable. – William Graham Sumner
158788. Labor organizations are formed, not to employ combined effort for a common object, but to indulge in declamation and denunciation, and especially to furnish an easy living to some officers who do not want to work. – William Graham Sumner
158789. A drunkard in the gutter is just where he ought to be, according to the fitness and tendency of things. Nature has set upon him the process of decline and dissolution by which she removes things which have survived their usefulness. – William Graham Sumner
158790. If I want to be free from any other man’s dictation, I must understand that I can have no other man under my control. – William Graham Sumner

158795. Nothing will ensure war more certainly or entrench rivalries more seriously than for or against thinking! – Patricia Sun
158796. The discoveries of how we can grow and the insights we need to have really come from the inside out. To have genuine empathy, not as a make-nice tool but as an understanding, is essential to the next step. – Patricia Sun
158797. There is only one thing keeping us from having heaven on earth: we can’t believe it! Why? Because we don’t want to be wrong – so we’ll be right and make it hell! – Patricia Sun
158798. We have magnificent brains, but we use a great deal of our brilliance to keep ourselves stuck and ignorant, to keep ourselves from not shining. We are so afraid of our beauty and radiance and brilliance because it scared the adults around us when we were children. – Patricia Sun
158799. We mostly feel fearful because we feel powerless. We feel powerless, I contend, because of a style of thinking that splits information in two poles that makes us lose all the operative information we need to solve the problem. – Patricia Sun
158800. When we don’t have information, we go to the simplest outlook, to black and white. But then we have to lie to ourselves. Black is never as black as you’re painting it and white is never as white. – Patricia Sun
158801. You can’t take sides when you know the earth is round. – Patricia Sun
158802. I am a temperance Republican down to my toes. – Billy Sunday
158803. You can’t raise the standard of women’s morals by raising their pay envelope. It lies deeper than that. – Billy Sunday
158804. You might as well try and dam Niagara Falls with toothpicks as to stop the reform wave sweeping our land. – Billy Sunday
158805. I tell you that the curse of God Almighty is on the saloon. – Billy Sunday
158806. I have been, and will go on, fighting that damnable, dirty, rotten business with all the power at my command. – Billy Sunday
158807. I dare not exercise personal liberty if it infringes on the liberty of others. – Billy Sunday
158808. If there is no hell, a good many preachers are obtaining money under false pretenses. – Billy Sunday
158809. I challenge you to show me where the saloon has ever helped business, education, church, morals or anything we hold dear. – Billy Sunday
158810. I believe there is no doctrine more dangerous to the Church today than to convey the impression that a revival is something peculiar in itself and cannot be judged by the same rules of causes and effect as other things. – Billy Sunday
158811. I believe the Bible is the word of God from cover to cover. – Billy Sunday
158812. There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing. – Billy Sunday
158813. I am the sworn, eternal and uncompromising enemy of the liquor traffic. – Billy Sunday
158814. When may a revival be expected? When the wickedness of the wicked grieves and distresses the Christian. – Billy Sunday
158815. Hypocrites in the Church? Yes, and in the lodge and at the home. Don’t hunt through the Church for a hypocrite. Go home and look in the mirror. Hypocrites? Yes. See that you make the number one less. – Billy Sunday
158816. Home is the place we love best and grumble the most. – Billy Sunday
158817. Hell is the highest reward that the devil can offer you for being a servant of his. – Billy Sunday
158818. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile. – Billy Sunday
158819. God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity. – Billy Sunday
158820. Conversion is a complete surrender to Jesus. It’s a willingness to do what he wants you to do. – Billy Sunday
158821. Christianity means a lot more than church membership. – Billy Sunday
158822. At Kansas City, Kansas, before the saloons were closed, they were getting ready to build an addition to the jail. Now the doors swing idly on the hinges and there is nobody to lock in the jails. – Billy Sunday
158823. And if you think that anybody is going to frighten me, you don’t know me yet. – Billy Sunday
158824. After all is said that can be said upon the liquor traffic, its influence is degrading upon the individual, the family, politics and business, and upon everything that you touch in this old world. – Billy Sunday
158825. I believe that a long step toward public morality will have been taken when sins are called by their right names. – Billy Sunday
158826. The rivers of America will run with blood filled to their banks before we will submit to them taking the Bible out of our schools. – Billy Sunday
158827. A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today! – Billy Sunday
158828. Jesus Christ was God’s revenue officer. – Billy Sunday
158829. Live so that when the final summons comes you will leave something more behind you than an epitaph on a tombstone or an obituary in a newspaper. – Billy Sunday

158832. Religion needs a baptism of horse sense. – Billy Sunday
158833. Some persons have lived manly or womanly lives, and they lack but one thing – open confession of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some men think that they must come to him in a certain way – that they must be stirred by emotion or something like that. – Billy Sunday
158834. Some persons think that they have to look like a hedgehog to be pious. – Billy Sunday
158835. Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in. – Billy Sunday
158836. The Democratic party of Florida has put a temperance plank in its platform and the Republican party of every state would nail that plank in their platform if they thought it would carry the election. – Billy Sunday
158837. Whiskey is all right in its place – but its place is hell. – Billy Sunday
158838. The fellow that has no money is poor. The fellow that has nothing but money is poorer still. – Billy Sunday
158839. When the English language gets in my way, I walk over it. – Billy Sunday
158840. The saloon is a liar. It promises good cheer and sends sorrow. – Billy Sunday
158841. The trouble with many men is that they have got just enough religion to make them miserable. If there is not joy in religion, you have got a leak in your religion. – Billy Sunday
158842. The world is wrong side up. It needs to be turned upside down in order to be right side up. – Billy Sunday
158843. There is no law, divine or human, that the saloon respects. – Billy Sunday
158844. They tell me a revival is only temporary; so is a bath, but it does you good. – Billy Sunday
158845. Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first. – Billy Sunday
158846. Unless you have made a complete surrender and are doing his will it will avail you nothing if you’ve reformed a thousand times and have your name on fifty church records. – Billy Sunday
158847. What have you given the world it never possessed before you came? – Billy Sunday
158848. When is a revival needed? When carelessness and unconcern keep the people asleep. – Billy Sunday
158849. If you don’t do your part, don’t blame God. – Billy Sunday
158850. The devil says I’m out, but the Lord says I’m safe. – Billy Sunday
158851. There are individuals who have never done anything for Jesus Christ, and I have no doubt there are preachers as well, who have never done anything for the God Almighty. – Billy Sunday
158852. And when things are not going well in Toronto, you’re going to hear about it. And you’re going to say things are not good at all, where it’s really not that bad. – Mats Sundin
158853. It was hard to watch, the business side is so big in the game. – Mats Sundin
158854. I’ve been around racing a fairly long time, but when it comes to the important issues, I’m happy to let others make the big decisions. – Mats Sundin
158855. I’m sure once my career’s over, when I look back when I’m older, I can maybe appreciate it a little bit more. – Mats Sundin
158856. I’m 31 years old and I want to be part of a championship team before my career is over. – Mats Sundin
158857. I think you’re a little more fragile when you’re younger. – Mats Sundin

158859. I put a lot of pressure on myself, more than anyone else. – Mats Sundin
158860. It’s all trotters in Sweden, so that’s what’s always caught my eye. – Mats Sundin
158861. At this level, you put a lot of pressure on yourself as a player to perform and do well. – Mats Sundin
158862. Everybody is excited to play so I think who plays with whom is a minor thing at this point. – Mats Sundin
158863. Players come and go, good friends, players who performed well. You can’t control that. – Mats Sundin
158864. Seeing someone else perform and letting me be the critic for once… that’s not a bad thing. – Mats Sundin
158865. Since I came here I’ve been treated awesome, in all aspects. I really enjoy playing here. – Mats Sundin
158866. When I was young, I would go to the races and it was an unbelievable feeling when you’d watch them race. – Mats Sundin
158867. With the fans and the Toronto Maple Leafs organization, the way I’ve been treated here has been awesome. – Mats Sundin
158868. My job is to make sure we keep performing. – Mats Sundin
158869. I always thought Ray Bourque was a great competitor. – Mats Sundin
158870. Any chance you have to sit back and be the one watching is great. – Mats Sundin
158871. It is necessary to expose the false propaganda of the imperialists and thoroughly dispel the illusion that the imperialists will give up their positions in the colonies and dependent countries with good will. – Kim Il Sung
158872. The most important thing in our war preparations is to teach all our people to hate U.S. imperialism. – Kim Il sung
158873. South Koreans who have seen and praised the mass games should remember the hardship of tearful children. Teachers drive them hard with curses and orders to repeat and repeat. When the children return home in the evening, they can hardly walk. – Kim Il sung
158874. Peace secured by slavish submission is not peace. – Kim Il sung
158875. Otherwise, we will not be able to defeat the U.S. imperialists who boast of their technological superiority. – Kim Il sung
158876. Lenin lived, Lenin lives, Lenin will live. – Kim Il sung
158877. We are opposed to the line of compromise with imperialism. At the same time, we cannot tolerate the practice of only shouting against imperialism, but, in actual fact, being afraid to fight it. – Kim Il Sung
158878. The peoples of Asia, Africa, and Latin America have common interest and are in the position to support each other in their anti-imperialist and anti-U.S. struggle. As long as Africa and Latin America are not free. – Kim Il Sung
158879. The oppressed peoples can liberate themselves only through struggle. This is a simple and clear truth confirmed by history. – Kim Il Sung
158880. The most important thing in our war preparations is to teach all our people to hate U.S. imperialism. Otherwise, we will not be able to defeat the U.S. imperialists who boast of their technological superiority. – Kim Il Sung
158881. It is wrong to try to avoid the struggle against imperialism under the pretext that independence and revolution are important, but that peace is still more precious. – Kim Il Sung
158882. Catholicism is a wide tent in terms of political and legal positions. We could have nine Catholics on the Supreme Court and a great deal of diversity toward the law. – Cass Sunstein
158883. There are some lawyers who think of themselves as basically instruments of whoever their clients are, and they pride themselves on their professional craft. – Cass Sunstein
158884. There is no proportional representation requirement in the Equal Protection Clause. – Cass Sunstein
158885. As a matter of history, the Fourteenth Amendment was not understood to ban segregation on the basis of race. – Cass Sunstein
158886. Simply put, broadband voice is an interstate matter that must be dealt with through clear national standards. – John Sununu
158887. Defining marriage is a power that should be left to the states. Moreover, no state should be forced to recognize a marriage that is not within its own laws, Constitution, and legal precedents. – John Sununu
158888. For my children, it makes sense to talk about modernizing Social Security, letting them create stronger personal accounts, letting them get a higher rate of return over the long run. – John Sununu
158889. I believe our foreign assistance should be scrutinized, should be debated, and that we should strike the right balance, but in all cases the foreign assistance that we provide around the world should be used to further our national security interests. – John Sununu
158890. I do not support raising the minimum wage, and the reason is as follows. When the minimum wage is raised, workers are priced out of the market. That is the economic reality that seems, at least so far, to be missing from this discussion. – John Sununu
158891. I’m running for senator because it’s time for a change. – John Sununu
158892. If you wait until those weapons pose a direct, clear, present danger to the United States, you’ve probably waited too long. – John Sununu
158893. It worries me about our unwillingness to really address reforms and modernization in Medicare. This thing was designed 37 years ago. It has not evolved to keep pace with current medical technology. – John Sununu
158894. It’s good to give seniors more choices and more options, let them choose a plan that’s best for them and target assistance to the lowest income people. – John Sununu
158895. People in New Hampshire know that I’ll talk thoughtfully, substantively about any issue. – John Sununu
158896. This is technology that will not go away. And to risk it moving into the hands of a terrorist group like al Qaeda or to other focused enemies of the United States, would have tragic consequences. – John Sununu
158897. We will have to continue to improve our human intelligence system-something that was, unfortunately, lacking in the years which led up to September 11. This is going to be a continuing process of change. – John Sununu
158898. When we’re talking about technology that involves weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, there has to be an element of preemption. – John Sununu
158899. Don’t let that weapon technology proliferate. Don’t let Saddam Hussein get capability for nuclear or chemical weapons, because he’s already shown a willingness to use any weapon at his disposal. – John Sununu
158900. Let individuals create real wealth, empower them, create something that they can leave for their children. – John Sununu
158901. I really started trying to get my act together in August of 2002. – Ethan Suplee
158902. I want to be on a show that’s as good as the one we’re doing and that we get to make for many years. – Ethan Suplee
158903. I’ve lived a lot in the last 12 years or however long its been since Boy Meets World. I have a lot more to draw upon in playing Randy than I did playing Frankie. Although, I did have a lot of fun playing that role. – Ethan Suplee
158904. I really like The Catcher in the Rye a lot. – Ethan Suplee
158905. I hope that people like us next year like they liked us last year. – Ethan Suplee
158906. I have kids and I want to have a long life and there are certain things that are conducive to that and certain things that aren’t. I’ve opted for the road of happiness and long life. – Ethan Suplee
158907. I don’t need to be on the number one show. Number 25 is fine. – Ethan Suplee
158908. I think anything Tony Kaye would’ve done would’ve been interesting, definitely. And worth seeing. – Ethan Suplee
158909. I definitely don’t want to achieve some kind of rock star status. – Ethan Suplee
158910. Writing, yeah. Me and my friend Scott Bloom just finished the first rough draft of a script. It’s taken us three years to do, but we finally got a first draft. And we’ll see whatever happens with that. – Ethan Suplee
158911. I like the Wu Tang Clan a lot. – Ethan Suplee
158912. Tony Kaye is great with that kind of stuff. Up until American History X, he had only done commercials. – Ethan Suplee
158913. The first few years I was in Vermont quite a bit, but I don’t think I ever spent years and years there. – Ethan Suplee
158914. I was born in Manhattan on West 12th. My parents were kind of hippies and they did a home birth. – Ethan Suplee
158915. Tyrone, I think they’re taking to festivals. I don’t know which festivals it will be at. It’s like a buddy picture. It’s a couple of guys driving across the country and they get to a small town and they hit a guy. The guy turns out to be a drug smuggler. – Ethan Suplee
158916. But the drugs are kind of like taboo, at least among me and my friends and the people I’ve worked with. – Ethan Suplee
158917. But my favorite period for actors is the 70s. I think so many great movies were made in the 70s. The 90s just seem to be a confused decade. Nobody knows, really, what’s going on. – Ethan Suplee
158918. As far as big egos, there are definitely guys out there that just think God only knows what about themselves. – Ethan Suplee
158919. It was like there’s got to be some way to stay working and stay productive in Los Angeles. TV is that kind of thing for an actor. Unless you get stuck in one of these shows where you have to go to Vancouver. – Ethan Suplee
158920. David Bowie’s my favorite musician. I love him above all, but I’m really into rap a lot right now. – Ethan Suplee
158921. I’d like to just work – steadily work – and do parts that I enjoy doing. – Ethan Suplee
158922. Everything you need to get that relaxed driving that brings consistency only comes with practice. – John Surtees
158923. The team came together. We’re looking forward to the next race. – John Surtees
158924. Our driver policy was partly dictated by who was available because of other contracts. – John Surtees
158925. We couldn’t get the car back until well after the end of the race and we had very little time for repairs. – John Surtees
158926. Obviously the first sentiment is disappointment that we didn’t get the car home and more disappointment that at the time that it stopped the car was in the lead. – John Surtees
158927. If he can’t do it with Ferrari, well, he can’t do it. – John Surtees
158928. The team did a superb pitstop. We had steadily improved. – John Surtees
158929. I get appalled when I see good drivers being left on the sidelines because they haven’t come up with the half million to a million to put themselves in a competitive car. – John Surtees
158930. A1 Great Britain has to look at the longer term. – John Surtees
158931. I left with nothing and needing to begin a new career. – John Surtees
158932. The only infallible rule we know is, that the man who is always talking about being a gentleman never is one. – Robert Smith Surtees
158933. More people are flattered into virtue than bullied out of vice. – Robert Smith Surtees
158934. Better be killed than frightened to death. – Robert Smith Surtees
158935. I wanted to write it long before I wrote Every Night, Josephine! I’d been thinking about it a long time. – Jacqueline Susann
158936. Acting is glamour but writing is hard work, so I’m going to be an actress. – Jacqueline Susann
158937. I don’t think any novelist should be concerned with literature. – Jacqueline Susann
158938. The second draft is on yellow paper, that’s when I work on characterizations. The third is pink, I work on story motivations. Then blue, that’s where I cut, cut, cut. – Jacqueline Susann
158939. As a writer no one’s gonna tell me how to write, I’m gonna write the way I wanna write! – Jacqueline Susann
158940. If you write something the White House doesn’t like, they take you in and say, ‘If you ever write something like you did today, nobody from the White House will ever talk to you again,’ – Ron Suskind
158941. The substance of faith is a hope in the unseen. – Ron Suskind
158942. To try to be authentic these days, to ask questions of the people in power – it’s difficult. This administration has evolved new techniques to handle people like me. Their strategy, in a word, is simple: ignore them. – Ron Suskind
158943. Unfortunately, this is a free society, and we’re gonna have people with trucks, and people with bombs. – Greta Van Susteren
158944. I thought ‘God, what have I done?’… I realized I would be in serious trouble. I thought the best way out of the mess was to make sure she could not tell anybody. – Peter Sutcliffe
158945. The women I killed were filth – bastard prostitutes who were littering the streets. I was just cleaning up the place a bit. – Peter Sutcliffe
158946. The only thing I feel passionate about is my wife. – Donald Sutherland
158947. I have never planned anything. I have been doing this job for over 50 years. I have been paid to work with some wonderful people and it has been a huge gift, to me. – Donald Sutherland
158948. You have a little bit of talent, a certain amount of good fortune and a lot of hard work in pursuit of whatever truth you can find in it, and if you are really lucky, a terrific partner and I have that and those four things worked out for me. – Donald Sutherland
158949. What the nation’s built on is discussion, contradiction and growth, and at the moment you can’t discuss anything. If you do start to discuss it, you get criticized. If people hate us, you have to find out why and try to solve that problem. – Donald Sutherland
158950. Vietnam was a lie but at least there was a political agenda. It was the domino theory. Iraq is about nothing but George Bush’s ego laced with imperialist ambitions. And it was helped by your government. – Donald Sutherland
158951. To them though, not to us, we were just a catalyst for their imagination. – Donald Sutherland
158952. I have been able to play a lot of guys and they have kept me working. – Donald Sutherland
158953. Not too much, though there’s a certain amount of rancour and bitterness when someone tries to fire you. – Donald Sutherland
158954. No, I’m not rich. I had a tax problem in this country, curiously enough, and my accountant said the British government was patently wrong in taxing me, and they were, but we couldn’t persuade them and it cost me everything I had. – Donald Sutherland
158955. I would look a little silly playing Casanova now. – Donald Sutherland
158956. At my age, you sort of fart your way into a role. – Donald Sutherland
158957. I had a kind of meandering little career, and then I was given a chance to play one of the bottom six in The Dirty Dozen. – Donald Sutherland
158958. I don’t think I have one iota of cynicism about acting. – Donald Sutherland
158959. I am so glad my wife tolerates me. And we have three wonderful sons. – Donald Sutherland
158960. Everything was my fault. I was so dumb. But if I hadn’t made the mistakes I made, I wouldn’t have met the wonderful woman I’ve been married to for over 30 years, so I guess that makes the mistakes OK. – Donald Sutherland
158961. But no, I love acting, it’s a wonderful job. – Donald Sutherland
158962. But even with no money you could still go to places like the Scotch Club and, you know, John Lennon might be sitting right over there, but I was certainly not a part of any of that circle. I was truly peripheral. – Donald Sutherland
158963. Joe Wright called me and I also had some trepidation along those lines but he said no, it would work. He had a very clear and specific idea of what he wanted to do. – Donald Sutherland
158964. I love grabbing my wife and going to a distant location to film. – Donald Sutherland
158965. For the saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished freedom is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while there was still time. – George Sutherland
158966. If the provisions of the constitution be not upheld when they pinch as well as when they comfort, they may as well be abandoned. – George Sutherland
158967. The legal right of a taxpayer to decrease the amount of what otherwise would be his taxes, or altogether avoid them, by means which the law permits, cannot be doubted. – George Sutherland
158968. They say the average person can’t make a living in art… but if you tell me there’s something I can’t do, that’s what I have to do. – George Sutherland
158969. I’m somewhat horrified because I don’t think the young people today even know what history is. Some of them don’t’ even study History at school anymore or Geography and they don’t know where one place is from another. – Joan Sutherland
158970. I wasn’t actually trained by my mother, she said she never taught me but she was a great singer herself and I can’t remember when I didn’t listen to her sing and imitate her. – Joan Sutherland
158971. I’m very happy to sing whatever I’m singing. I’ve always enjoyed any role I’ve been given at a certain time. They’ve all been favourites, they’ve all been wonderful pieces to play. – Joan Sutherland
158972. Technique is the basis of every pursuit. If you’re a sportsman or you’re a singer or a swimmer, well that comes under sport but you have to develop a basic technique to know what you’re doing at any given time. – Joan Sutherland
158973. You can listen to what everybody says, but the fact remains that you’ve got to get out there and do the thing yourself. – Joan Sutherland
158974. I don’t sing for anybody. I wouldn’t sing for the Queen dear. – Joan Sutherland
158975. Youth is an amazing thing: I think back on when we did The Lost Boys, and I didn’t think I could do anything wrong. – Kiefer Sutherland
158976. I’ve always traveled with a picture of my daughter from 1989, her kindergarten school picture, that has ‘I love you, Daddy’ written on it. She’s always made fun of me because I never changed that picture out. It’s like my resistance to her getting older. It was the first thing she’d ever written to me and it means the world to me. – Kiefer Sutherland
158977. I’ve had some amazing people in my life. Look at my father – he came from a small fishing village of five hundred people and at six foot four with giant ears and a kind of very odd expression, thought he could be a movie star. So go figure, you know? – Kiefer Sutherland
158978. I’ve made films that I’ve given all I had to, that no one has seen. The bottom line is I want to work and I want someone to enjoy it. – Kiefer Sutherland
158979. My mother’s five-foot-two, and I’ll be honest with you – she’s the only person I’m scared of. – Kiefer Sutherland
158980. My parents not only did it for a living, but they were really good at it. – Kiefer Sutherland
158981. My whole mood or sense can change by virtue of the music that I’m listening to. It really does affect me on a visceral and emotional level. – Kiefer Sutherland
158982. One of the big draws of the show is here’s a guy who is ordinary in a lot of ways but, due to his profession, he’s placed in extraordinary situations that he has to make right with action and with thought. That’s what is appealing about Jack – he takes charge. – Kiefer Sutherland
158983. The most significant piece of advice my father gave me early on about acting was, don’t get caught acting. Really believe in what you’re doing and then commit to it. Even if it feels uncomfortable, even if you feel that you’re gonna look like an ass. It’s all acting, but find the truth in a moment as opposed to just pretending you have and rather than trying to act your way out of it. – Kiefer Sutherland
158984. The writers keep managing to turn the show in on itself, coming up with something that’s well thought-out and miraculous. – Kiefer Sutherland
158985. There are a lot of movies I’d like to throw away. That’s not to say that I went in with that attitude. Any film I ever started, I went in with all the hope and best intentions in the world, but some films just don’t work. – Kiefer Sutherland
158986. There are three things we need to do for a band. We need to make a great record; we need to get the record played; and we need to find an audience for the live shows. – Kiefer Sutherland
158987. I’m a huge fan of Canadian rock-and-roll. When I was growing up, Rush came out with a record called Hemispheres, and I must have listened to that record for two years straight. Even when I was asleep I had it on. So, yeah, whenever I hear a Rush tune, the first thing I think of is Toronto. – Kiefer Sutherland
158988. I’m not that complicated as an actor. I have a formula in which I work, yeah. But not like Sean Penn does. Sean is one of the few actors I know who can work like that, actually becoming the character he is playing, and get consistent results. I don’t believe you can ever be someone else. You manifest different levels of your own personality to come up with a character. – Kiefer Sutherland
158989. There’s a confidence that comes from youth and not knowing better. But there comes a point, as an actor, when you do know better, and that is when the fear starts. – Kiefer Sutherland
158990. I didn’t realize that television has gone through immense changes and has become very progressive. – Kiefer Sutherland
158991. I did a play called Throne of Straw when I was 11, at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles. It became really clear to me at that point that I enjoyed acting more than any other experience I was having. – Kiefer Sutherland
158992. I couldn’t see my father’s films because they were restricted and we didn’t have videos or DVDs back then. – Kiefer Sutherland
158993. When Julia and I broke up and I was really scared to go into a market or anywhere because I thought, ‘Oh God, everyone must hate me. And that wasn’t the case. People said, ‘I’m sorry this happened, man. Are you alright?’ – Kiefer Sutherland
158994. When I wasn’t the flavor of the week or month or day, those were hard times. – Kiefer Sutherland
158995. When I saw Virginia Woolf, somewhere between the first and second acts, someone I had known as my mother became somebody else. – Kiefer Sutherland
158996. I like chatting with people. If people ask me a direct question, I give them a direct answer and I feel I’ve always done that with the press. – Kiefer Sutherland
158997. When we shoot 24, there are so many things I have to worry about, from the script to technical things to my performance, that I don’t have a second to be bored or take anything for granted. We produce 24 hours of film a season, which is like making 12 movies. – Kiefer Sutherland
158998. When we shoot 24, there are so many things I have to worry about, from the script to technical things to my performance, that I don’t have a second to be bored or take anything for granted. – Kiefer Sutherland
158999. I think that the day you’ve figured out the differences between women and men is the day that you’re no longer attracted to women. It’s the difference that is so fantastic and frustrating and angering, and really sexy. – Kiefer Sutherland
159000. When you’re a young actor you like to go for characters with a bit of flair, so in many films I ended up playing the weirdos. I can assure you I’m not a psycho or a criminal or a bully. – Kiefer Sutherland
