164213. I don’t want to be an actor or nothing but if I have to, I’ll act if it’s the right thing. – Obie Trice

164215. I just do what I’m here for and that’s to make that music. – Obie Trice

164217. I get the music, I get the beats. And I go to the studios and write the lyrics. – Obie Trice
164218. 7 Mile is like an Ave. Back in the days it was poppin’ in the summer time. – Obie Trice

164225. But since I am in the music industry, I don’t want anyone to download music, not on September 9th. – Obie Trice
164226. Racing is in my blood, I can’t quite get out of it yet. – Dick Trickle

164232. Only a fool does not fear actors, but you can’t beat them, and if you can’t beat them, join them, as they say. As I’ve got older I’ve become very interested in that part of the work. – Lars von Trier
164233. More than anything, there are more images in evil. Evil is based far more on the visual, whereas good has no good images at all. – Lars von Trier
164234. It’s always been a lie that it’s difficult to make films. – Lars von Trier
164235. You could say that when you introduce humour to your work, you also step back a little from it. You create a distance. – Lars von Trier
164236. If I made a musical in the beginning of my career, it would have been crane shots and tracking shots and people coming out of cakes and whatever, but these techniques are something that I’ve left behind me. – Lars von Trier
164237. If one devalues rationality, the world tends to fall apart. – Lars von Trier
164238. I’m happy that I’m alive. I feel like someone coming back from Vietnam, you know; I’m sure that later on I’ll start killing people in a square somewhere, but right now, I just feel happy to be alive. – Lars von Trier
164239. Actors need bricks to play with, and in fact we rejected all the improvised fragments we had made without a plan. Improvisation without a plan is like tennis without tennis balls. – Lars von Trier
164240. Far be it from me to force anyone into either chess or dressage, but if you choose to do so yourself, in my opinion there is only one way: follow the rules. – Lars von Trier

164243. I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology. – Lars von Trier

164246. The question about those aromatic advertisements that perfume companies are having stitched into magazines these days is this: under the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment, is smelling up the place a constitutionally protected form of expression? – Calvin Trillin
164247. The food in such places is so tasteless because the members associate spices and garlic with just the sort of people they’re trying to keep out. – Calvin Trillin
164248. When it comes to Chinese food I have always operated under the policy that the less known about the preparation the better. A wise diner who is invited to visit the kitchen replies by saying, as politely as possible, that he has a pressing engagement elsewhere. – Calvin Trillin
164249. The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found. – Calvin Trillin

164257. Immature artists imitate. Mature artists steal. – Lionel Trilling
164258. It is now life and not art that requires the willing suspension of disbelief. – Lionel Trilling
164259. It is possible that the contemplation of cruelty will not make us humane but cruel; that the reiteration of the badness of our spiritual condition will make us consent to it. – Lionel Trilling
164260. Our culture peculiarly honors the act of blaming, which it takes as the sign of virtue and intellect. – Lionel Trilling
164261. Being a Jew is like walking in the wind or swimming: you are touched at all points and conscious everywhere. – Lionel Trilling
164262. The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive. – Lionel Trilling
164263. The immature artist imitates. Mature artists steal. – Lionel Trilling
164264. There is no connection between the political ideas of our educated class and the deep places of the imagination. – Lionel Trilling
164265. This is the great vice of academicism, that it is concerned with ideas rather than with thinking. – Lionel Trilling

164271. Youth is a time when we find the books we give up but do not get over. – Lionel Trilling

164274. As we take stock of this century of achievement, Ulster Unionists have every reason to feel proud. – David Trimble

164276. The Republican movement have not behaved properly over the years. They have not themselves implemented the Agreement. If they had implemented the Agreement then they would have disarmed completely in May 2000, that is what they undertook to do, that is what they failed to do. – David Trimble
164277. The one thing I can assure you is that I’m not going to do a Prescott. – David Trimble
164278. The dark shadow we seem to see in the distance is not really a mountain ahead, but the shadow of the mountain behind – a shadow from the past thrown forward into our future. It is a dark sludge of historical sectarianism. We can leave it behind us if we wish. – David Trimble
164279. Circumstances give in reality to every political principle, its distinguishing colour, and discriminating effect. The circumstances are what render every civil and political scheme beneficial or noxious to mankind. – David Trimble

164281. Faith is an invisible and invincible magnet, and attracts to itself whatever it fervently desires and calmly and persistently expects. – Ralph W. Trine

164285. It’s never a script that makes me decide to accept a film or not. – Jean-Louis Trintignant
164286. No, I like today’s cinema a lot. But I’ve spent so many decades only making movies. There’s so much that I still want to do. Like, live. It’s only up to me. – Jean-Louis Trintignant
164287. The theatre fulfills, whereas the cinema is empty. – Marie Trintignant
164288. I like characters with problems. I like to understand them… To play alcoholics, fetishists, strange girls, you have to dig deep within yourself. It’s ‘elsewhere’ that interests me. – Marie Trintignant

164290. There is no method by which an average citizen can effectively fight the White House in the media. – Linda Tripp

164296. My government career is over. – Linda Tripp
164297. Respect is not ever assigned; it’s earned. – Linda Tripp
164298. The first tenet is that you should report corruption regardless of loyalty to incumbent or party. – Linda Tripp

164300. The three of us acting was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I really look forward to the days when all three of us shoot together, because the sparks really fly. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164301. I’d really been wanting to do a television series. I was looking for a comedy. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164302. I’ve been playing tennis, and just whatever sport is in front of me I will do. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164303. I’ve been working on Barb for a while. I looked at her as a sort of every woman. She’s incredibly strong; she’s incredibly generous. She’s seemingly insane because she is in the situation of a polygamous relationship, but she had definite reasons to do it. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164304. I’ve had the same friends for ten, fifteen years. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164305. It was difficult every ten days having a new director. I’m a real collaborator and, as an actor, I want to be directed. It’s hard for me to shift gears. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164306. The press seems to love pitting women against each other. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164307. Finally, after a lot of searching and digging, it was simply the love of family that gave me a road into the character. Once I got into that, and we delved into what it would be like to survive cancer and the ability to see how precious life is, it became easier to play her. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164308. Well, I think a lot of people only hear about the extreme, fundamentalist kind of polygamists, because they’re always in the news being brought up on charges. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164309. You hear about these shows where there are all these women are supposedly always in a catfight, and then you find out in reality that they’re all getting along fine. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164310. But we’re all so different, we’re different ages; we’re not vying for the same roles. There’s no competition, there’s really kind of a sisterhood, on and off the set, you know? – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164311. But on the other hand, I talked to a woman who was a working woman, and it was actually great for her, because she had her husband one week of the month and the other three weeks, while he was with his other wives, she got to pursue what she wanted to do. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164312. But I don’t think that it’s a form of family that I would be comfortable in. I’ve found a way to this character and this family, but I still believe that a marriage is between two people and not seven or three. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164313. It was really important in my relationship with James Caan that I understood the relationship between the family and the father. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164314. The government doesn’t really prosecute for polygamy anymore, but a lot of the arrests are of groups supporting themselves through welfare scams or for child abuse. So that was all I’d really heard about polygamists. – Jeanne Tripplehorn
164315. What a revolting contrast exists in England between the slavery of women and the intellectual superiority of women writers. – Flora Tristan

164318. Bluegrass is really a big part of my background. – Travis Tritt

164320. There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won t. – William Trogdon
164321. Life is so unlike theory. – Anthony Trollope
164322. Poverty, to be picturesque, should be rural. Suburban misery is as hideous as it is pitiable. – Anthony Trollope
164323. Passionate love, I take it, rarely lasts long, and is very troublesome while it does last. Mutual esteem is very much more valuable. – Anthony Trollope
164324. Oxford is the most dangerous place to which a young man can be sent. – Anthony Trollope
164325. No man thinks there is much ado about nothing when the ado is about himself. – Anthony Trollope
164326. Never think that you’re not good enough. A man should never think that. People will take you very much at your own reckoning. – Anthony Trollope
164327. Neither money nor position can atone to me for low birth. – Anthony Trollope
164328. My sweetheart is to me more than a coined hemisphere. – Anthony Trollope
164329. The satirist who writes nothing but satire should write but little – or it will seem that his satire springs rather from his own caustic nature than from the sins of the world in which he lives. – Anthony Trollope
164330. Love is like any other luxury. You have no right to it unless you can afford it. – Anthony Trollope
164331. The habit of reading is the only enjoyment in which there is no alloy; it lasts when all other pleasures fade. – Anthony Trollope
164332. It may almost be a question whether such wisdom as many of us have in our mature years has not come from the dying out of the power of temptation, rather than as the results of thought and resolution. – Anthony Trollope
164333. It is the test of a novel writer’s art that he conceal his snake-in-the-grass; but the reader may be sure that it is always there. – Anthony Trollope
164334. It is self-evident that at sixty-five a man has done all that he is fit to do. – Anthony Trollope
164335. It is necessary to get a lot of men together, for the show of the thing, otherwise the world will not believe. That is the meaning of committees. But the real work must always be done by one or two men. – Anthony Trollope
164336. It is hard to rescue a man from the slough of luxury and idleness combined. If anything can do it, it is a cradle filled annually. – Anthony Trollope
164337. It is a grand thing to rise in the world. The ambition to do so is the very salt of the earth. It is the parent of all enterprise, and the cause of all improvement. – Anthony Trollope
164338. It is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can’t fly away. – Anthony Trollope
164339. It has now become the doctrine of a large clan of politicians that political honesty is unnecessary, slow, subversive of a man’s interests, and incompatible with quick onward movement. – Anthony Trollope
164340. Marvelous is the power which can be exercised, almost unconsciously, over a company, or an individual, or even upon a crowd by one person gifted with good temper, good digestion, good intellects, and good looks. – Anthony Trollope

164342. This at least should be a rule through the letter-writing world: that no angry letter be posted till four-and-twenty hours will have elapsed since it was written. – Anthony Trollope
164343. They who do not understand that a man may be brought to hope that which of all things is the most grievous to him, have not observed with sufficient closeness the perversity of the human mind. – Anthony Trollope
164344. They are best dressed, whose dress no one observes. – Anthony Trollope
164345. There is no way of writing well and also of writing easily. – Anthony Trollope
164346. What is there that money will not do? – Anthony Trollope
164347. There is no royal road to learning; no short cut to the acquirement of any art. – Anthony Trollope
164348. There is no road to wealth so easy and respectable as that of matrimony. – Anthony Trollope
164349. There is no human bliss equal to twelve hours of work with only six hours in which to do it. – Anthony Trollope
164350. Since woman’s rights have come up a young woman is better able to fight her own battle. – Anthony Trollope
164351. There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another. – Anthony Trollope
164352. Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early. – Anthony Trollope

164359. It has become a certainty now that if you will only advertise sufficiently you may make a fortune by selling anything. – Anthony Trollope
164360. Three hours a day will produce as much as a man ought to write. – Anthony Trollope
164361. There is no happiness in love, except at the end of an English novel. – Anthony Trollope
164362. As to happiness in this life it is hardly compatible with that diminished respect which ever attends the relinquishing of labour. – Anthony Trollope
164363. It has been the great fault of our politicians that they have all wanted to do something. – Anthony Trollope
164364. A husband is very much like a house or a horse. – Anthony Trollope
164365. A man’s love, till it has been chastened and fastened by the feeling of duty which marriage brings with it, is instigated mainly by the difficulty of pursuit. – Anthony Trollope
164366. A man’s mind will very gradually refuse to make itself up until it is driven and compelled by emergency. – Anthony Trollope
164367. A woman’s life is not perfect or whole till she has added herself to a husband. Nor is a man’s life perfect or whole till he has added to himself a wife. – Anthony Trollope

164369. A fellow oughtn’t to let his family property go to pieces. – Anthony Trollope

164371. Book love… is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures. – Anthony Trollope
164372. But then in novels the most indifferent hero comes out right at last. Some god comes out of a theatrical cloud and leaves the poor devil ten thousand-a-year and a title. – Anthony Trollope
164373. Cham is the only thing to screw one up when one is down a peg. – Anthony Trollope
164374. I have no ambition to surprise my reader. Castles with unknown passages are not compatible with my homely muse. – Anthony Trollope
164375. I think the greatest rogues are they who talk most of their honesty. – Anthony Trollope
164376. An author must be nothing if he do not love truth; a barrister must be nothing if he do. – Anthony Trollope
164377. Dance with a girl three times, and if you like the light of her eye and the tone of voice with which she, breathless, answers your little questions about horseflesh and music about affairs masculine and feminine, then take the leap in the dark. – Anthony Trollope
164378. I never knew a government yet that wanted to do anything. – Anthony Trollope
164379. I hold that gentleman to be the best-dressed whose dress no one observes. – Anthony Trollope
164380. I doubt whether any girl would be satisfied with her lover’s mind if she knew the whole of it. – Anthony Trollope
164381. I do not know whether there be, as a rule, more vocal expression of the sentiment of love between a man and a woman, than there is between two thrushes. They whistle and call to each other, guided by instinct rather than by reason. – Anthony Trollope
164382. I do like a little romance… just a sniff, as I call it, of the rocks and valleys. Of course, bread-and-cheese is the real thing. The rocks and valleys are no good at all, if you haven’t got that. – Anthony Trollope
164383. I ain’t a bit ashamed of anything. – Anthony Trollope
164384. High rank and soft manners may not always belong to a true heart. – Anthony Trollope
164385. Don’t let love interfere with your appetite. It never does with mine. – Anthony Trollope
164386. You can’t be too old to be a writer, but you can definitely be too young! – Joanna Trollope
164387. I plot the first 5 or 6 chapters quite minutely, and also the end. So I know where I am going but not how I’m going to get there, which gives characters the chance to develop organically, as happens in real life as you get to know a person. – Joanna Trollope
164388. I don’t always set stories in villages, more often in towns. But always in smallish communities because the characters’ actions are more visible there, and the dramatic tension is heightened. – Joanna Trollope
164389. All TV can do is capture the spirit of a book because the medium is so utterly different. But I’m very grateful for the readers that Masterpiece Theatre has undoubtedly brought me. – Joanna Trollope
164390. I’m a third done into a new book but sorry – I have a superstition about talking about it! – Joanna Trollope
164391. Oddly my name has been no professional help at all! It seems to have made no difference. I admire him hugely, both for his benevolence and his enormous psychological perception. – Joanna Trollope
164392. I’ve experienced huge kindness here, a great welcome and some very generous reviews without the snide social edge I often suffer from at home. I’m not patronized here either, which I much appreciate! – Joanna Trollope

164394. You may not be interested in strategy, but strategy is interested in you. – Leon Trotsky
164395. Where force is necessary, there it must be applied boldly, decisively and completely. But one must know the limitations of force; one must know when to blend force with a maneuver, a blow with an agreement. – Leon Trotsky
164396. There is a limit to the application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in, but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens. – Leon Trotsky
164397. There are no absolute rules of conduct, either in peace or war. Everything depends on circumstances. – Leon Trotsky
164398. The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end. – Leon Trotsky

164402. Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happen to a man. – Leon Trotsky
164403. Not believing in force is the same as not believing in gravity. – Leon Trotsky
164404. Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain – at least in a poor country like Russia – and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires. In America it takes an automobile to produce this effect. – Leon Trotsky
164405. Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws. – Leon Trotsky
164406. In a serious struggle there is no worse cruelty than to be magnanimous at an inopportune time. – Leon Trotsky
