163320. Justice has nothing to do with victor nations and vanquished nations, but must be a moral standard that all the world’s peoples can agree to. To seek this and to achieve it – that is true civilization. – Hideki Tojo

163615. I think the more you do this and the more comfortable you become on stage, you start speaking more and becoming more of a character in yourself. – Carrot Top

163616. I think it’s the fact that I do something different and that I actually have some success with it. That bothers a lot of people… especially comics. – Carrot Top

163617. I didn’t really have a plan of attack when I got in college. – Carrot Top

163618. I always make fun of KISS because I don’t particularly think their music is anything. – Carrot Top

163619. Comics don’t like to see other comics do well. – Carrot Top

163620. Carrot Top is a nickname that people call me and I thought that it was more marketable. – Carrot Top

163621. I was the class clown at school, but at home, my family wasn’t very funny. – Carrot Top

163622. I never looked at Gallagher like he was a threat to me. – Carrot Top

163623. I never listen to music in the house, I listen to music in the car. – Peter Tork

163624. Elvis deserves a lot of credit for bringing the blues to middle America, not the Vegas stuff. The early stuff, The Sun records, and the first few RCA records. He was wonderful, he had the power, the drive, and he was so dedicated to his music. – Peter Tork

163625. Every country has it trade offs. – Peter Tork

163626. Getting to play the blues has been transcendant for me. I can’t say if my finest hour is yet to come, you want to make a dent in this world, well I do anyway. – Peter Tork

163627. Hitting a baseball well, as in cricket, is a very rare skill. One of most difficult things to do in the world to do, hitting a ball coming at you at ninety miles an hour with a round bat. Wonderful to watch. – Peter Tork

163628. I am a still friend with Dave Crosby, he’s a weird duck but I like him a lot. – Peter Tork

163629. I am more of an old black and white movies fan. – Peter Tork

163630. I did as well as I knew how and have nothing to be ashamed of. – Peter Tork

163631. I don’t know about friends, but what time I spent with The Beatles they were very courteous to me. – Peter Tork

163632. I get to play a scorching lead guitar, and there’s not much that’s more fun than that. – Peter Tork

163633. No, in 1968 I still wanted to be a Pop Star, and be about the music. Now, I want to be just about the music. – Peter Tork

163634. I like to listen the blues and some classical. – Peter Tork

163635. Only one of us would usually sing lead. Which most of the time was, Mickey or Dave. They thought it was perfectly a natural routine, because Mickey and Dave saw themselves as TV actors. – Peter Tork

163636. It was so much fun to do, play the blues and then play a Monkees’ set on the same night. – Peter Tork

163637. Michael Sunday and I are the original members of the band. We first did it just for charities and benefit concerts. It was very ad-hoc, and before we knew it, we were really a band. We went through several drummers and guitarists before we were happy with the line up. – Peter Tork

163638. My most favourite gigs that ever happened were solo, before The Monkees ever happened. – Peter Tork

163639. Oh, the most fun thing I’ve ever been asked to autograph was breasts. – Peter Tork

163640. Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins. – Peter Tork

163641. Original Monkees’ songs were produced very thinly, on purpose. – Peter Tork

163642. I have never done Cult TV before, the convention was good. It gives the fans a chance to meet the celebrities. Connect with the guy that used to be a bunch of coloured dots on your TV screen. – Peter Tork

163643. There hasn’t been one show that we did, that I didn’t enjoy to some extent. – Peter Tork

163644. Put you energy into music. If it fails you, you can become an accountant or a dentist. And then if you become a dentist or an accountant, it’s too late to become a musician afterwards. – Peter Tork

163645. The Monkees was a straight sitcom, we used the same plots that were on the other situation comedies at the time. So the music wasn’t threatening, we weren’t threatening. – Peter Tork

163646. The groupies are far more real now than there were then. – Peter Tork

163647. Yes, I am a good singer. – Peter Tork

163648. The four of us couldn’t have made a record with the time left over when we were shooting the show. We were on stage from 7.30 in the morning ’til 7 at night. Later on, when there was a break from filming, and we were sick of doing it the old way. – Peter Tork

163649. We did very little improvisation on camera, and once in a while we did. – Peter Tork

163650. The blues brings you back into the fold. The blues isn’t about the blues, it’s about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together. – Peter Tork

163651. Shoe Suede Blues is ten years old this year. The Band consists of four members. – Peter Tork

163652. Ringo is one of the world’s true humans. The only one out those four guys, who did not have an agenda. Ringo was just into the music. – Peter Tork

163653. Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away. – Peter Tork

163654. Why waste money on psychotherapy when you can listen to the B Minor Mass? – Michael Torke

163655. There isn’t a dearth of it, but I will confess that it’s harder for me to find songs on which I’m willing to invest anything from ten to fifteen hours writing an arrangement than it was in times past. – Mel Torme

163656. Whenever I did a good performance, my Dad and my uncles, who were rabid movie fans, took me to the movies. There began my underlying love affair with film. – Mel Torme

163657. As regards my feelings about drummers – there’s Buddy Rich, and then there’s everybody else. – Mel Torme

163658. I hadn’t been a recording artist all that long when albums came on the scene, and I was one of the first singers to point the way to how varied an album’s contents could be. – Mel Torme

163659. See, I never wrote arrangements for the band for Judy Garland; I did strictly special material, special lyrics, put together all of her medleys. – Mel Torme

163660. I want to sing for the broadest possible audience. – Mel Torme

163661. I got into radio when I was eight, and I was one of the busiest child dramatic actors in America. – Mel Torme

163662. I was a singer professionally when I was four years old, and I did not really begin to play any instrument – the first one, of course, was drums – till I was about nine years old. – Mel Torme

163663. I would be a liar if I said it wouldn’t be lovely and soothing – that’s the word – to have a hit single or a hit album. – Mel Torme

163664. It may sound a bit like an army barracks, but the truth of the matter is: there must be some time laid aside for arranging, time for working on either a book or an article – I’ve written two articles in the last four months for the New York Times book review section. – Mel Torme

163665. My initial career, really, as a baby, was as a singer. – Mel Torme

163666. Right now, my career is in three directions: as a performer, as an arranger, as an author – and I don’t give any one of them true precedent, or true top marks, as opposed to the other two. – Mel Torme

163667. So I’m sorry, I’m going to continue to talk to the people, because I do believe that if they get to know you and what you are as a human being, they can more appreciate what you are as a performer. – Mel Torme

163668. Talking money is crass; so I’m not going to tell you what I made last year. – Mel Torme

163669. How many radio shows I did is lost to memory now; it’s in the hundreds – maybe even close to being in the thousands – for the span of years from the time I was eight till I was about fifteen. – Mel Torme

163670. But, in fairness to them, too, the popular song per se is really a pretty shallow medium to perform in. – Mel Torme

163671. Buddy Rich is one of a kind; he’s a genius, and that’s all there is to it. – Mel Torme

163672. As a singer, the biggest joy I have are the arrangements. – Mel Torme

163673. Because Chicago was to radio what Hollywood was to films and Broadway was to the theatre: it was the hub of radio. – Mel Torme

163674. As Buddy Rich, for instance, broke into the business at the age of three, I think it was, on drums, so indeed did I break into the business at the age of four as a singer. – Mel Torme

163675. I didn’t really have an act per se – a theatrical performance, as opposed to just: here I am, folks, and you’re all supposed to be dead quiet while I sing eight or nine songs, then get off the stage. – Mel Torme

163676. Because obviously the whole purpose of putting records out is purely and simply to make money. – Mel Torme

163677. Don’t ever humiliate a man. If you’re gonna have to dress him out, you take him aside and do it that way. That’s the one thing I don’t like about Hollywood: They go in for public humiliation. You shouldn’t do that to a man. – Rip Torn

163678. I’ve never hit anybody who hasn’t clocked me two or three times. – Rip Torn

163679. Anything new is always considered the devil’s tool. – Rip Torn

163680. Be your own politics, grow your own garden, and maybe you can help out more. – Rip Torn

163681. Everybody says, ‘You impress me as a guy who never wanted to be a movie star.’ I say, ‘Everybody in the world wants to be a movie star.’ – Rip Torn

163682. I think most actors are shy. I really do. The greatest actors can disappear. I had friends call me the Blend-In Man. – Rip Torn

163683. I honor religion except when it gets into shedding blood. – Rip Torn

163684. I’ve got two old Volvos, two old Subarus, and an old Ford Ranger. If you’ve got an old car, you’ve gotta have at least several old cars, ’cause one’s always gonna be in the garage. – Rip Torn

163685. You can never turn your back on the ocean. – Rip Torn

163686. If I could just get a piece of lemon, it’d be great. – Rip Torn

163687. If you’re lucky enough to have a pretty girl love you and share herself and sleep with you, make that your secret. The best way to spoil love is by talking to too many people about it. – Rip Torn

163688. Let the other guys do the crybaby stuff. Go for the laughs. – Rip Torn

163689. Never think you’re better than anyone else, but don’t let anyone treat you like you’re worse than they are. – Rip Torn

163690. There’s always some kind of blacklist throughout history. But the difference is, in America they usually let you live. – Rip Torn

163691. When I grew up, people said, ‘You’ll never be the man your dad was.’ And I said, ‘Gee, I hope not.’ – Rip Torn

163692. I used to be friends with Miles Davis. He didn’t like many folks. I lived across the street from him. – Rip Torn

163693. I’m not Jack Nicholson. I’m not Brando. But I do mumble. – Benicio Del Toro

163694. There’s a lot of Latinos right now, a lot of filmmakers and writers that are Latin too. – Benicio Del Toro

163695. My goal as an actor has always been to reach a level where I can find a lot of interesting work, and I think I’m at that point now. The Oscar has given me a lot of recognition. – Benicio Del Toro

163696. You have to kill to survive. People have been doing it forever. I eat meat, and I eat fish. If I were on a deserted island I would need that to survive. – Benicio Del Toro

163697. To be honest with you, I’d rather not be working. When you work, there are all sorts of deadlines and pressures. I like to do one thing and take my time to do the other one. – Benicio Del Toro

163698. There are a lot of good actresses out there. – Benicio Del Toro

163699. I’ve liked most of the films that I’ve been in and those are the kinds of films I like to see. – Benicio Del Toro

163700. I trained as a theater actor and you had a bare stage and you had to pretend, one prop and you are in the middle of 8th Ave. and traffic is just going by. – Benicio Del Toro

163701. I don’t think I could be a foot soldier. I don’t know if I could take orders too good. I’m a little lazy. – Benicio Del Toro

163702. Hopefully, I can play both sides of the fence. That’s probably what winning the Oscar gives me, the chance to do something with a studio and do other things that I really want to do. – Benicio Del Toro

163703. Before I was ever in high school, I had dark circles under my eyes. The rumor was I was a junkie. I have dark circles under my eyes, deal with it. – Benicio Del Toro

163704. When some people get parts, they feel they can now relax, but for me it was always the opposite. Sometimes before I do a movie or before I act out a scene, I may not sleep well the night before. If I don’t know what the scene is about, I might get all worked up. – Benicio Del Toro

163705. I see horror as part of legitimate film. I don’t see it as an independent genre that has nothing to do with the rest of cinema. – Guillermo del Toro

163706. I like John Carpenter. I like some of his films more than others. – Guillermo del Toro

163707. But I think we are seeing a resurgence of the graphic ghost story like The Others, Devil’s Backbone and The Sixth Sense. It is a return to more gothic atmospheric ghost storytelling. – Guillermo del Toro

163708. For Devil’s Backbone I loved it but I felt very pressured but so I was neurotic on the shoot. – Guillermo del Toro

163709. For eight years I did effects for other movies until I got my movie made. – Guillermo del Toro

163710. Hellboy is the first movie where both ends of the spectrum are combined. – Guillermo del Toro

163711. I’m a lapsed altar boy. – Guillermo del Toro

163712. What happens to me is that I am first and foremost a film geek. – Guillermo del Toro

163713. Well, the first thing is that I love monsters, I identify with monsters. – Guillermo del Toro

163714. Well I think effects are tools. – Guillermo del Toro

163715. They’re getting more and more experience on what to expect, and the Hellboy audience is such a faithful and fanatic audience as I am, and you have to really be very open about what you do. – Guillermo del Toro

163716. There are two levels of vampirism: one is the regular vampire, which is just like it has always been; and then there’s the super vampires, which are a new breed we’ve created. – Guillermo del Toro

163717. The other thing that I started doing for myself was, I went through my diary of ideas that I keep and made sure that the translation of the comic to the movie was good. – Guillermo del Toro

163718. I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue. – Guillermo del Toro

163719. In that, Blade 2 is very much like a rock concert… if it’s too loud, you’re too old. – Guillermo del Toro

163720. When I was a teenager there was no video in my country. Betamax came to Mexico very slowly. – Guillermo del Toro

163721. I’d grab the camera and tell people what to do, and when I was 14, someone told me that it was called directing. – Guillermo del Toro

163722. I was part of a group that had a cinema club so every week we would project two or three movies on 16 or 35mm. – Guillermo del Toro

163723. I was directing before I knew it was called that. – Guillermo del Toro

163724. I think there is a very quiet power in things that are not on screen. – Guillermo del Toro

163725. I think there are movies that are so gigantic that you need a second unit. – Guillermo del Toro

163726. I think that The Eye is a particularly Americanized take on horror. – Guillermo del Toro

163727. I started when I was eight, doing super 8 films. – Guillermo del Toro

163728. It’s only in modern times that we have come to glorify vampirism. – Guillermo del Toro

163729. It’s huge. You win the first game of the series, you want to win the series. – Joe Torre

163730. It’s something you hope doesn’t happen. When you sign on to do a job, you hope you’ll be able to get it done. But that’s not always in your control. – Joe Torre

163731. When we lost, I couldn’t sleep at night. When we win, I can’t sleep at night. But, when you win, you wake up feeling better. – Joe Torre

163732. I’m not fighting any causes. I’m black, everybody can see that, but I am a storyteller for the masses. – Jackie Torrence

163733. Is it a surprise that into the vessel, in which the mercury has no inclination and no repugnance, not even the slightest, to being there, it should enter and should rise in a column high enough to make equilibrium with the weight of the external air which forces it up? – Evangelista Torricelli

163734. Many have argued that a vacuum does not exist, others claim it exists only with difficulty in spite of the repugnance of nature; I know of no one who claims it easily exists without any resistance from nature. – Evangelista Torricelli

163735. The Geometer has the special privilege to carry out, by abstraction, all constructions by means of the intellect. Who, then, would wish to prevent me from freely considering figures hanging on a balance imagined to be at an infinite distance beyond the confines of the world? – Evangelista Torricelli

163736. We have made many glass vessels… with tubes two cubits long. These were filled with mercury, the open end was closed with the finger, and the tubes were then inverted in a vessel where there was mercury. – Evangelista Torricelli

163737. There were no gifts. Everything is properly accounted for. I provided testimony and evidence to the committee… This was all stuff that was previously known. – Robert Torricelli

163738. I can’t see where there is anywhere left to move. If you don’t have a recount it’s hard to receive any more votes. – Robert Torricelli

163739. I will not be responsible for the loss of the Democratic majority in the United States Senate. – Robert Torricelli

163740. If you live long enough, you’ll experience everything. – Robert Torricelli

163741. It’s not like Massachusetts, where they’re baptized Democrats. – Robert Torricelli

163742. Let’s deal with each other honestly. – Robert Torricelli

163743. Ten of those Republican incumbents, all of whom voted for the impeachment of President Clinton, are from states that Bill Clinton carried. – Robert Torricelli

163744. The day that I was elected to the United States Senate remains among the most cherished of my life. – Robert Torricelli

163745. Non-technical questions sometimes don’t have an answer at all. – Linus Torvalds

163746. When you say “I wrote a program that crashed Windows,” people just stare at you blankly and say “Hey, I got those with the system, for free.” – Linus Torvalds

163747. When it comes to software, I much prefer free software, because I have very seldom seen a program that has worked well enough for my needs, and having sources available can be a life-saver. – Linus Torvalds

163748. Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done. – Linus Torvalds

163749. What commercialism has brought into Linux has been the incentive to make a good distribution that is easy to use and that has all the packaging issues worked out. – Linus Torvalds

163750. There are lots of Linux users who don’t care how the kernel works, but only want to use it. That is a tribute to how good Linux is. – Linus Torvalds

163751. The thing with Linux is that the developers themselves are actually customers too: that has always been an important part of Linux. – Linus Torvalds

163752. Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense. – Linus Torvalds

163753. Making Linux GPL’d was definitely the best thing I ever did. – Linus Torvalds

163754. Microsoft isn’t evil, they just make really crappy operating systems. – Linus Torvalds

163755. The memory management on the PowerPC can be used to frighten small children. – Linus Torvalds

163756. My name is Linus, and I am your God. – Linus Torvalds

163757. Software is like sex: it’s better when it’s free. – Linus Torvalds

163758. People enjoy the interaction on the Internet, and the feeling of belonging to a group that does something interesting: that’s how some software projects are born. – Linus Torvalds

163759. Programmers are in the enviable position of not only getting to do what they want to, but because the end result is so important they get paid to do it. There are other professions like that, but not that many. – Linus Torvalds

163760. See, you not only have to be a good coder to create a system like Linux, you have to be a sneaky bastard too. – Linus Torvalds

163761. You won’t get sued for anticompetitive behavior. – Linus Torvalds

163762. Shareware tends to combine the worst of commercial software with the worst of free software. – Linus Torvalds

163763. I’ve never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don’t like the pay for use binary shareware programs. – Linus Torvalds

163764. The Linux philosophy is ‘Laugh in the face of danger’. Oops. Wrong One. ‘Do it yourself’. Yes, that’s it. – Linus Torvalds

163765. The fame and reputation part came later, and never was much of a motivator, although it did enable me to work without feeling guilty about neglecting my studies. – Linus Torvalds

163766. The cyberspace earnings I get from Linux come in the format of having a Network of people that know me and trust me, and that I can depend on in return. – Linus Torvalds

163767. That’s what makes Linux so good: you put in something, and that effort multiplies. It’s a positive feedback cycle. – Linus Torvalds

163768. Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program. – Linus Torvalds

163769. Before the commercial ventures, Linux tended to be rather hard to set up, because most of the developers were motivated mainly by their own interests. – Linus Torvalds

163770. I’ve been employed by the University of Helsinki, and they’ve been perfectly happy to keep me employed and doing Linux. – Linus Torvalds

163771. I’m generally a very pragmatic person: that which works, works. – Linus Torvalds

163772. I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can. – Linus Torvalds

163773. I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see it, the more it looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don’t find anything technically interesting there. – Linus Torvalds

163774. I try to avoid long-range plans and visions – that way I can more easily deal with anything new that comes up. – Linus Torvalds

163775. I never felt that the naming issue was all that important, but I was obviously wrong, judging by how many people felt. I tell people to call it just plain Linux and nothing more. – Linus Torvalds

163776. I like to think that I’ve been a good manager. That fact has been very instrumental in making Linux a successful product. – Linus Torvalds

163777. I don’t try to be a threat to MicroSoft, mainly because I don’t really see MS as competition. Especially not Windows-the goals of Linux and Windows are simply so different. – Linus Torvalds

163778. I don’t expect to go hungry if I decide to leave the University. Resume: Linux looks pretty good in many places. – Linus Torvalds

163779. I do get my pizzas paid for by Linux indirectly. – Linus Torvalds

163780. Helsinki may not be as cold as you make it out to be, but California is still a lot nicer. I don’t remember the last time I couldn’t walk around in shorts all day. – Linus Torvalds

163781. Finnish companies tend to be very traditional, not taking many risks. Silicon Valley is completely different: people here really live on the edge. – Linus Torvalds

163782. Artists usually don’t make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it. – Linus Torvalds

163783. Any program is only as good as it is useful. – Linus Torvalds

163784. A consumer doesn’t take anything away: he doesn’t actually consume anything. Giving the same thing to a thousand consumers is not really any more expensive than giving it to just one. – Linus Torvalds

163785. In many cases, the user interface to a program is the most important part for a commercial company: whether the programs works correctly or not seems to be secondary. – Linus Torvalds

163786. I’ve been very happy with the commercial Linux CD-ROM vendors linux Red Hat. – Linus Torvalds

163787. If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I’ve won. – Linus Torvalds

163788. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems. – Linus Torvalds

163789. Helsinki isn’t all that bad. It’s a very nice city, and it’s cold really only in wintertime. – Linus Torvalds

163790. I kissed my first girl and smoked my first cigarette on the same day. I haven’t had time for tobacco since. – Arturo Toscanini

163791. When I was young, I kissed my first woman and smoked my first cigarette on the same day. Believe me, never since have I wasted any more time on tobacco. – Arturo Toscanini

163792. To some it is Napoleon, to some it is a philosophical struggle, to me it is allegro con brio. – Arturo Toscanini

163793. Can’t you read? The score demands “con amore,” and what are you doing? You are playing it like married men! – Arturo Toscanini

163794. God tells me how the music should sound, but you stand in the way. – Arturo Toscanini

163795. When I first found out that I was an Idol finalist, I cried tears of happiness. I was just so happy, and my family was there and the fact that got to see that moment and share that moment with me was just everything to me. – Pia Toscano

163796. If my life was a song the title would probably be ‘Clumsy’, ’cause I’m clumsy. – Pia Toscano

163797. This has been my dream since I was a little girl. I’ve worked so hard for this moment, and its finally coming true and I couldn’t be more happy. – Pia Toscano

163798. I’m definitely doing better. I never realized that I would get the support that I’ve gotten from everybody – from my fans, to people that I’ve idolized my whole life. So it’s overwhelming, it’s amazing and I believe that everything happens for a reason so I’m in a really good place right now. – Pia Toscano

163799. When I walk out on that stage, I just want America to know, that this is what I’m supposed to do. This is my dream. – Pia Toscano

163800. You don’t know for sure why things happen, but you know, it did! It was my time to go on the show and I’m excited to see what my future holds. – Pia Toscano

163801. I don’t sing in the shower at all, and I don’t sing in the shower, either. – Pia Toscano

163802. I just want to make everybody feel what I’m singing. And just to relate to me and know that this has been dream since I was a little girl. I’ve worked so hard for this, and I just want them to connect with me. – Pia Toscano

163803. My favorite type of music to sing is definitely those big ballads, I just love doing those power ballads. – Pia Toscano

163804. I truly don’t know why the boys are getting all the votes – it could be because they are really amazing, and that’s all there is to it. They’re really, really good and every single boy deserves to be in the competition right now, and so do the two girls. – Pia Toscano

163805. I’d like to do a pop album with an R and B influence. I definitely want to have those big ballads with the uptempo hits as well. – Pia Toscano

163806. For the live shows, I’m just getting my song together. I go back to my hotel room and I just listen to my song over and over again, figure out how to make it different and put my little Pia spin on it. – Pia Toscano

163807. I’ve got to pick myself up Dust myself off And start all over again. – Peter Tosh

163808. In the beginning there was the word. The word was Jah. The word is in I, Jah is in I. I make what is good, better, and what is better, best. I follow this in every aspect of life. – Peter Tosh

163809. I travel the garden of music, thru inspiration. It’s a large, very large garden, seen? – Peter Tosh

163810. I mean the flesh, never fade! The flesh never leave the creation, see, because with that divine spirit the flesh cannot fade. If the spirit is weak then the flesh fade, seen? – Peter Tosh

163811. I am not a politician… I only suffer the consequences. – Peter Tosh

163812. Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. – Peter Tosh

163813. And I ask why am I black, they say I was born in sin, and shamed inequity. One of the main songs we used to sing in church makes me sick, ‘love wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. – Peter Tosh

163814. To have the truth in your possession you can be found guilty, sentenced to death. – Peter Tosh

163815. I actually think with age comes some level of wisdom. – Nina Totenberg

163816. I didn’t know how much I cared about having a woman on the court until the day there was a woman on the court. – Nina Totenberg

163817. Well no administration ever wants an independent overseer, and there are very good career people who are in charge of this investigation, but it could get hairy. – Nina Totenberg

163818. Soul, soul is nothing. Can you see it, smell it, touch it? No. – Dan Totheroh

163819. When a man gets his money in bad ways, when he sees the better course and takes the worse, then the devil’s in his heart, and that fixes him. – Dan Totheroh

163820. I have tried to do what is true and not ideal. – Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

163821. Of course one should not drink much, but often. – Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

163822. I paint things as they are. I don’t comment. – Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

163823. Love is when the desire to be desired takes you so badly that you feel you could die of it. – Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

163824. Joy is a subtle elf; I think one’s happiest when he forgets himself. – Cyril Tourneur

163825. I shine in tears like the sun in April. – Cyril Tourneur

163826. Acceptance of one’s life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices. – Paul Tournier

163827. At the heart of personality is the need to feel a sense of being lovable without having to qualify for that acceptance. – Paul Tournier

163828. Let us not seek to bring religion to others, but let us endeavor to live it ourselves. – Paul Tournier

163829. Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets. – Paul Tournier

163830. Recounting of a life story, a mind thinking aloud leads one inevitably to the consideration of problems which are no longer psychological but spiritual. – Paul Tournier

163831. Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can. – Paul Tournier

163832. The more refined and subtle our minds, the more vulnerable they are. – Paul Tournier

163833. My music is homegrown from the garden of New Orleans. Music is everything to me short of breathing. Music also has a role to lift you up – not to be escapist but to take you out of misery. – Allen Toussaint

163834. To get to New Orleans you don’t pass through anywhere else. That geographical location, being aloof, lets it hold onto the ritual of its own pace more than other places that have to keep up with the progress. – Allen Toussaint

163835. The world is new to us every morning – this is God’s gift; and every man should believe he is reborn each day. – Baal Shem Tov

163836. I need the starshine of your heavenly eyes, After the day’s great sun! – Charles Hanson Towne

163837. It was not possible to film in California, because all the areas are heavily built up now. Coming to Cape Town is an invitation to step into the past and recreate Los Angeles of the 1930s. – Robert Towne

163838. You’re torn between wanting to fill in all the spaces and knowing that’s really going to screw up the screenplay. And yet, how are you going to communicate it to people who really don’t understand the process? – Robert Towne

163839. You’re dumber than you think I think you are. – Robert Towne

163840. One of the reasons for going back into the past is that it’s almost the only place that there’s any drama. – Robert Towne

163841. Now they’re attracted to one another, but repelled by their ethnic origins, so that there was something to overcome. They had to overcome their own prejudices, which had been imposed by the culture – their own shame at being Mexican and Italian. – Robert Towne

163842. It made me alive to the fact that the most important thing sometimes is what isn’t said – to prepare for moments of revelation that can be read entirely on actors’ faces without dialogue. – Robert Towne

163843. If you have a good ear for dialogue, you just can’t help thinking about the way people talk. You’re drawn to it. And the obsessive interest in it forces you to develop it. You almost can’t help yourself. – Robert Towne

163844. I’m excited and encouraged to see people getting involved with their public lands and forests. We really need the public’s help to repair these heavily used recreation sites. – Robert Towne

163845. I think that those are the things that you can uniquely do with film that are difficult to do anywhere else: they can bring a picture to life, give it a natural and historical context and make you feel that everything else is suddenly credible. – Robert Towne

163846. Finally, Colin Farrell showed up on my doorstep, only he wasn’t Colin Farrell – he was just this Irish kid who had read the script and wanted to do it. – Robert Towne

163847. But, uh, censorship at that time said that you just absolutely couldn’t do anything involving children and so we had to go from there. I don’t remember what I changed it to. Duvall is just excellent in it. – Robert Towne

163848. But time has caught up with it and I think vindicated it. Shampoo, too: very dark, very ambitious movie. – Robert Towne

163849. And I think one way or another it’s evident to those who work with me that as a writer, a director, a friend, as somebody’s there that’s very anxious to get the movie made. – Robert Towne

163850. Of course I’m respectable. I’m old. Politicians, ugly buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough. – Robert Towne

163851. Democracy is not about one party dominating. – Ed Townsend

163852. If we are really going to learn from others, we must decide to fully obey. – Ed Townsend

163853. In order to be discipled by others a person must have a trusting heart, one that listens even when it doesn’t fully comprehend or see the end result. – Ed Townsend

163854. Teachability and trust always leads to total obedience. – Ed Townsend

163855. If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high you’d laugh and say nothing that simple, but you’ve been told many times before messiah’s point you to the door though no one’s got the guts to leave the temple. – Peter Townsend

163856. It’s an ordinary day for Brian. Like, he died every day, you know. – Peter Townsend

163857. Most of my songs are about Jesus. Most of my songs are about the idea that there is salvation, and that there is a Savior. But I won’t mention his name in a song just to get a cheap play. – Peter Townsend

163858. Acting is great. You spend your whole life trying to get it right. – Stuart Townsend

163859. Every time I start a new piece of work, I spend a long while under the duvet thinking I can’t do it. – Sue Townsend

163860. I think we take it for granted that if you are with your husband after 30 years, then he is the love of your life. – Sue Townsend

163861. Live with all of your senses. – Sue Townsend

163862. The monarchy is finished. It was finished a while ago, but they’re still making the corpses dance. – Sue Townsend

163863. I cannot go to the Opera, because I have forsworn all expense which does not end in pleasing me. – Charles Townshend

163864. What we learned quite early on is what was really important to early British pop that we produced-and this is where we were distinct from almost everybody else in this respect-is that it had to reflect exactly what the audience wanted us to say. – Pete Townshend

163865. I’m only interested in rites of passage stories. – Pete Townshend

163866. It wasn’t just about flashing lights and pinball machines blowing up and things like that. It was about using encores, bringing back the good songs and using techniques that I knew about from rock performance. – Pete Townshend

163867. It’s like the mod thing is happening again. – Pete Townshend

163868. Some of our early work was two minutes twenty when it actually came out on vinyl, very, very, very short. Sometimes if you made a three-minute record they would make you do an edited version for radio, particularly in America. – Pete Townshend

163869. The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I’m not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage. – Pete Townshend

163870. We tried not to age, but time had its rage. – Pete Townshend

163871. What I took back, because of my exposure to the Jewish music of the 30s and the 40s in my upbringing with my father, was that kind of theatrical songwriting. It was always a part of my character. This desire to make people laugh. – Pete Townshend

163872. What I’m trying to do is find either existing properties or come up with properties or angles or stories which will create music drama. It’s my obsession and most of all I would like to remain working in theatre. I think it’s very much alive. – Pete Townshend

163873. What theatre started to look at much earlier than any other form was the internal operations of ordinary people, sometimes using mythic models in order to tell the story. – Pete Townshend

163874. But what was interesting about what the Who did is that we took things which were happening in the pop genre and represent them to people so that they see them in a new way. I think the best example is Andy Warhol’s work, the image of Marilyn Monroe or the Campbell’s soup can. – Pete Townshend

163875. I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth. – Pete Townshend

163876. What the Who is all about is exactly that and it always has been. If it exists today for this concert, it’s in response again to a function which is happening out there on the street. – Pete Townshend

163877. Bob Dylan did the first really long record – Like A Rolling Stone – I think it was four minutes. – Pete Townshend

163878. I think I probably would have enjoyed to keep my own private pain out of my work. But I was changed by my audience who said your private pain which you have unwittingly shown us in your early songs is also ours. – Pete Townshend

163879. As a young man, every bone in my body wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill Germans. And yet I had absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly nobody invited me to do the job. But that’s what I felt that I was trained to do. Now no part of my upbringing was militaristic. – Pete Townshend

163880. Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true. – Pete Townshend

163881. Early British pop was helped tremendously by the writing of Bob Dylan who had proved you could write about political and quite controversial subjects. Certainly what we did followed on from what was happening with the angry young men in the theatre. – Pete Townshend

163882. A lot of my audience are in their 50s. But they want me to pretend to continue to be pretending. – Pete Townshend

163883. I only really started to go to plays and to be interested in drama 20 years ago when as an artist I was already well-rounded. I think I’m more disciplined today. – Pete Townshend

163884. He is the king. If it hadn’t been for Link Wray and ‘Rumble,’ I would have never picked up a guitar. – Pete Townshend

163885. I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf. – Pete Townshend

163886. I just could not believe that 30 years later we’re still looking at people who are supposed to write little 2-minute pop that when they actually try to do something that’s a little bit more they regard it as pretentious. – Pete Townshend

163887. I know how it feels to be a woman because I am a woman. And I won’t be classified as just a man. – Pete Townshend

163888. Everything that I had done creatively related to two or three incidents that happened to me when I was a child that I’d forgotten. Everything, absolutely everything. – Pete Townshend

163889. It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163890. Of the twenty-two civilizations that have appeared in history, nineteen of them collapsed when they reached the moral state the United States is in now. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163891. Sooner or later, man has always had to decide whether he worships his own power or the power of God. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163892. The equation of religion with belief is rather recent. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163893. The extinction of race consciousness as between Muslims is one of the outstanding achievements of Islam, and in the contemporary world there is, as it happens, a crying need for the propagation of this Islamic virtue. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163894. To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163895. The immense cities lie basking on the beaches of the continent like whales that have taken to the land. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163896. I do not believe that civilizations have to die because civilization is not an organism. It is a product of wills. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163897. The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163898. The human race’s prospects of survival were considerably better when we were defenceless against tigers than they are today when we have become defenceless against ourselves. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163899. History not used is nothing, for all intellectual life is action, like practical life, and if you don’t use the stuff well, it might as well be dead. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163900. History is a vision of God’s creation on the move. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163901. Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163902. Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163903. As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163904. Apathy can be overcome by enthusiasm, and enthusiasm can only be aroused by two things: first, an ideal, with takes the imagination by storm, and second, a definite intelligible plan for carrying that ideal into practice. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163905. America is a large friendly dog in a small room. Every time it wags its tail it knocks over a chair. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163906. A life which does not go into action is a failure. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163907. A city that outdistances man’s walking powers is a trap for man. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163908. I can not think of any circumstances in which advertising would not be an evil. – Arnold J. Toynbee

163909. Working lives are for the state to influence. Unemployment makes people unhappy. So does instability. – Polly Toynbee

163910. One in six people suffer depression or a chronic anxiety disorder. These are not the worried well but those in severe mental pain with conditions crippling enough to prevent them living normal lives. – Polly Toynbee

163911. Openness about death has led to greater care about all aspects of dying. – Polly Toynbee

163912. People want the right to die at a time of their own choosing. Too many families have watched helplessly as a relative dies slowly, longing for death. – Polly Toynbee

163913. So what really works? Treatments in jail do some good, but it’s mostly too late: finding a family and a job or just growing older make most prisoners eventually give up crime. – Polly Toynbee

163914. The best care on earth cannot prevent us all dying in the end. – Polly Toynbee

163915. The strongest predictor of unhappiness is anyone who has had a mental illness in the last 10 years. It is an even stronger predictor of unhappiness than poverty – which also ranks highly. – Polly Toynbee

163916. There is all the difference in the world between teaching children about religion and handing them over to be taught by the religious. – Polly Toynbee

163917. My mother begged doctors to end her life. She was beyond the physical ability to swallow enough of the weak morphine pills she had around her. When she knew she was dying I promised to make sure she could go at a time of her choosing, but it was impossible. I couldn’t help. – Polly Toynbee

163918. Thresholds of pain, indignity and incapacity are entirely personal. – Polly Toynbee

163919. Is anyone serious about the politics of happiness? David Cameron dipped a toe in the water, using the word lightly, but denying the hard policies it implies. Labour shies away from it, but should take up the challenge. – Polly Toynbee

163920. This is indeed a clash of civilisations, not between Islam and Christendom but between reason and superstition. – Polly Toynbee

163921. Could a government dare to set out with happiness as its goal? Now that there are accepted scientific proofs, it would be easy to audit the progress of national happiness annually, just as we monitor money and GDP. – Polly Toynbee

163922. Most people come to fear not death itself, but the many terrible ways of dying. – Polly Toynbee

163923. But the single overwhelming reason why jails are bursting is longer sentences given for more crimes. – Polly Toynbee

163924. My Lords temporal, today is the day to rise up against the regiment of Lords spiritual and proclaim the values of enlightenment, compassion and common sense. – Polly Toynbee

163925. Crime is only the worst example, but it is a paradigm for other Labour policy disasters. No one tells the voters that crime is falling: let them stay scared senseless. – Polly Toynbee

163926. Happiness is a real, objective phenomenon, scientifically verifiable. That means people and whole societies can now be measured over time and compared accurately with one another. Causes and cures for unhappiness can be quantified. – Polly Toynbee

163927. How do you make any sense of history, art or literature without knowing the stories and iconography of your own culture and all the world’s main religions? – Polly Toynbee

163928. In the polls, over 80% support the right to die and have done for the last 25 years. Even 80% of practising Catholics and Protestants support it, plus 76% of Church Times readers. – Polly Toynbee

163929. Inequality makes everyone unhappy, the poor most of all, and that is well within the remit of the state. More money gives less extra happiness the richer we get, yet we are addicted to earning and spending more every year. – Polly Toynbee

163930. It is now possible to quantify people’s levels of happiness pretty accurately by asking them, by observation, and by measuring electrical activity in the brain, in degrees from terrible pain to sublime joy. – Polly Toynbee

163931. But how odd that in this heathen nation of empty pews, where churches’ bare, ruined choirs are converted into luxury loft living, a Labour government – yes, a Labour government – is deliberately creating a huge expansion of faith schools. – Polly Toynbee

163932. But instead of standing up for reason, our government is handing education over to the world of faith. – Polly Toynbee

163933. We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163934. Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163935. You can see God from anywhere if your mind is set to love and obey Him. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163936. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163937. The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163938. The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163939. Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our “accepting” and “willing” are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163940. Man appears for a little while to laugh and weep, to work and play, and then to go to make room for those who shall follow him in the never-ending cycle. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163941. “Let God be true but every man a liar” is the language of true faith. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163942. In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we’re pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker’s praise without anxiety. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163943. If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch? – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163944. One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163945. An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163946. An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

163947. The way to my heart is by being truthful and spontaneous. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163948. I am young. I better show off what I have now. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163949. When you grow up on film, people sometimes have difficulties accepting the fact that you are growing up. They always imagine you younger. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163950. The sexy moments for me, I wasn’t thinking of them as sexy. I was thinking of them as more specific to my character. So it was necessary for my character’s development in the movie, so that’s how I played it. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163951. The food was interesting. My background is Russian, so cheese and potatoes are my love. There was plenty of that. And fried cheese! It is really, really, really good. And really, really, really bad for you. It’s like an artery on a plate. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163952. My mother was there every day of the production. You know what? My mother and I are so close, she really understands the fact that I am 18 and I am maturing. I guess I am not your average 18 year-old. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163953. Most people say they talk to me and I sound older. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163954. Keep your private life private. Be open to suggestions from different people. And just be nice. I have heard stories about people who are just plain rude to the press or fans. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163955. I wrapped “Buffy” and I always felt on “Buffy” that they wanted to keep me younger for a specific reason. It seemed like I was getting younger every year that I was on the show. I think there was a reference to me being 15, then 14. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163956. I plays Joe’s best friend. I am the only one he has ever been able to trust in his life, so I help him understand what happened to him when he was younger. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163957. I just feel – specifically about that holiday – why is it just one day that you have to tell the person that you love how much you love them? I think that is a little silly. I am much more the girl that likes the spontaneous. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163958. I have never understood that. I come from a place where the press makes or breaks an actor and it is more of a teamwork relationship. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163959. I have many valentines. My mom and my sister and my directors. I got calls from all of them. And my friends. I respect what Valentine’s Day stands for because it is about love. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163960. I have ballet class every other day for two hours. And for “Six Feet Under”, last week there was a sequence where I had to do a whole choreographed dance number, so I had four hours of dance practice every day. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163961. Yes, romance has found it’s way into my heart in the past. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163962. Ice skating is very difficult. It takes a lot of discipline and a lot of hard work. It’s fun, but you are there on the ice every morning freezing and trying to do these moves and these tricks. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163963. I don’t like to search too much. I find it is easier when romance finds you. – Michelle Trachtenberg

163964. The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting total responsibility for every part of their life. – Brian Tracy

163965. You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you. – Brian Tracy

163966. Your company’s most valuable asset is how it is known to its customers. – Brian Tracy

163967. Your decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary entails facing difficulties that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else. – Brian Tracy

163968. Your greatest asset is your earning ability. Your greatest resource is your time. – Brian Tracy

163969. You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile. – Brian Tracy

163970. The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you. The more you help others, the more they will want to help you. – Brian Tracy

163971. Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality. – Brian Tracy

163972. The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance. – Brian Tracy

163973. The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear. – Brian Tracy

163974. You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you. – Brian Tracy

163975. You can become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher standards for yourself and then by doing everything possible to live up to those standards. – Brian Tracy

163976. Whatever you dwell on in the conscious grows in your experience. – Brian Tracy

163977. Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy. – Brian Tracy

163978. We will always tend to fulfill our own expectation of ourselves. – Brian Tracy

163979. Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future. – Brian Tracy

163980. The person we believe ourselves to be will always act in a manner consistent with our self-image. – Brian Tracy

163981. The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire. – Brian Tracy

163982. Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it. – Brian Tracy

163983. Only by contending with challenges that seem to be beyond your strength to handle at the moment you can grow more surely toward the stars. – Brian Tracy

163984. Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance of the event. – Brian Tracy

163985. Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) in order to guarantee your future. – Brian Tracy

163986. All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose. – Brian Tracy

163987. Communication is a skill that you can learn. It’s like riding a bicycle or typing. If you’re willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of evry part of your life. – Brian Tracy

163990. Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor. – Brian Tracy
