179473. I was also very lucky to be a teammate of two of the greatest players to have ever played the game. I learned very early on by playing for Frank Robinson and with Henry Aaron that even the greatest players in the game were just one of the guys. – Robin Yount
179474. You know, when I was a young boy I used to play baseball in my back yard or in the street with my brothers or the neighborhood kids. We used broken bats and plastic golf balls and played for hours and hours. – Robin Yount
179475. You know raising a family in the lifestyle of a professional athlete can be very difficult. – Robin Yount

179477. You know no one ever accomplishes something like this without a lot of help from good people along the way. And this is certainly true in my case, and I would like to thank some of those people. – Robin Yount
179478. I was also lucky to play for an owner, Bud Selig, who truly cared about his players. He’d call me into his office once in a while when he knew things weren’t going so well. And it’s funny. Every time I left there I always felt like something good was about to happen. – Robin Yount
179479. My high school coach was Ray O’Conner. He has coached a lot of players that have signed professional contracts, and many of those have gone on to play in the major leagues. – Robin Yount

179484. Every invalid is a prisoner. – Marguerite Yourcenar

179499. I was worried about being the nut that ruined 40 years of Bond history. – Rick Yune

179502. Since I was a kid I’ve wanted to be in a Bond movie. – Rick Yune
179503. That’s when it really came together for me that I was in a Bond film, to have my own spy car! – Rick Yune
179504. They shaved my head, eyebrows. This is not a sci-fi picture. It’s not a fantasy picture. You’re dealing with something that’s supposed to be in reality. But we had a genius makeup artist. – Rick Yune
179505. This is the Bond of the new millennium. Everything is updated, from the action sequences to the interaction between the characters. All the elements reflect changes that have occurred in the world in recent years. – Rick Yune
179506. To be here today is just beyond my wildest dreams. – Rick Yune
179507. When you have a background in combat sports, people think you’re this martial arts expert, but really I’m just a guy who is able to do certain things without making a mess of himself. – Rick Yune

179514. I made a list of people who needed just a little bit of money. And when the list was complete, there were 42 names. The total amount of money they needed was $27. I was shocked. – Muhammad Yunus
179515. I wanted to give money to people like this woman so that they would be free from the moneylenders to sell their product at the price which the markets gave them – which was much higher than what the trader was giving them. – Muhammad Yunus
179516. I was teaching in one of the universities while the country was suffering from a severe famine. People were dying of hunger, and I felt very helpless. As an economist, I had no tool in my tool box to fix that kind of situation. – Muhammad Yunus
179517. I went to the bank and proposed that they lend money to the poor people. The bankers almost fell over. – Muhammad Yunus
179518. My greatest challenge has been to change the mindset of people. Mindsets play strange tricks on us. We see things the way our minds have instructed our eyes to see. – Muhammad Yunus
179519. Business money is limitless. – Muhammad Yunus
179520. Soon we saw that money going to women brought much more benefit to the family than money going to the men. So we changed our policy and gave a high priority to women. As a result, now 96% of our four million borrowers in Grameen Bank are women. – Muhammad Yunus
179521. Today, if you look at financial systems around the globe, more than half the population of the world – out of six billion people, more than three billion – do not qualify to take out a loan from a bank. This is a shame. – Muhammad Yunus

179538. Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. – Lin Yutang
179539. Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials. – Lin Yutang
179540. A good traveller is one who does not know where he is going to, and a perfect traveller does not know where he came from. – Lin Yutang
179541. Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks. – Lin Yutang
179542. I look forward to a lot more free time, at least initially, with my wife, Lisa, and our three children. – Steve Yzerman
179543. We have to get better at that. All of the Stanley Cup winning teams throughout the past few seasons, when they needed to play defense, they did it. If you can play defense, that’s when you know it’s game over. – Steve Yzerman
179544. We used to play a lot outdoors, not in leagues, but just in our spare time. – Steve Yzerman
179545. We have two tables on our airplane that are set up with the games. – Steve Yzerman
179546. And for the team, I always tried to do the right thing. – Steve Yzerman

179548. Balanced is probably what I am, although that’s just a polite way to say that you don’t do anything very well. – Steve Yzerman
179549. Darren McCarty is a big video game guy, and he brings his systems with him on the road. – Steve Yzerman
179550. I also feel I adapted. I was willing to try to fit into any role. The way I figured, it was always up to me to prove my worth, that I deserved to be here. – Steve Yzerman
179551. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a memorable body check. It’s not really part of my game. – Steve Yzerman

179553. I hope people like me and appreciate me the way I am. – Steve Yzerman

179557. I’m very confident my health isn’t going to allow me to be a good player, especially in the spring. – Steve Yzerman
179558. I’ve been hit hard a few times, been hit really hard a few times, but I don’t think I’ve ever left a memorable, lasting impression on anyone I’ve ever hit. – Steve Yzerman
179559. It’s almost like you see too much, because when it happens for real, everything flies at you so fast, you never get a sense of the ice and where everyone is at that one moment. – Steve Yzerman
179560. It’s been a great honor for me to be a player for the Detroit Red Wings, to play for an Original Six franchise. I know I’m far from perfect, but I learned a lot. – Steve Yzerman
179561. Since the season ended, I’ve let things settle down, and I have to talk to the coaching staff and management. I really don’t want to turn this into a big drama. So I plan on making a definite decision relatively quickly. – Steve Yzerman
179562. The 70’s hair with the long on the sides, just doesn’t look good coming down the sides of the helmet. – Steve Yzerman
179563. There used to be an old thing where every team had a heavy bag in their locker room for people to punch, but again, it was more about conditioning because if you hit a heavy bag for a minute, it feels like your arms are about to fall off. – Steve Yzerman
179564. Very few cities in the NHL have the history or the following of the Detroit Red Wings. – Steve Yzerman
179565. I don’t know that I’d agree I was our best player. – Steve Yzerman
179566. I’m far from being god, but I work god damn hard. – Jay Z
179567. The average rap life is two or three albums. You’re lucky to get to your second album in rap! – Jay Z
179568. I was forced to be an artist and a CEO from the beginning, so I was forced to be like a businessman because when I was trying to get a record deal, it was so hard to get a record deal on my own that it was either give up or create my own company. – Jay Z
179569. I have a funny name. – Pia Zadora
179570. When I was 21 I stopped and got married. I tried for a while to be the perfect wife, society this, society that but it wasn’t working, so after about a year I went back to work. – Pia Zadora
179571. Then I went through a whole bunch of crap with my lousy movies and pop records. I had people behind me kind of steering me in that direction, but it wasn’t really my bag. – Pia Zadora
179572. The thing you do is escape from them by immersing myself in the character you’re playing. – Pia Zadora
179573. The reason we shot it was that the script was geared to Las Vegas and it was something commercial that we wanted to have in the can in case Butterfly was a success and we needed a follow-up. – Pia Zadora
179574. The future comes quickly. Before you know it, you turn around and it’s tomorrow. – Pia Zadora
179575. In a way, my past gives me a little credibility. Not that anybody cares what I did nineteen years ago, but I did have a career, and a legitimate one, before I met my husband. – Pia Zadora
179576. If you have a guy like Jermaine, it’s a pain in the neck. When we were on the road together in Europe, Jesus, I had to kick the girls off of him. I mean, they throw themselves on the floor and take off their hats. – Pia Zadora
179577. I’m one Pia Zadora, the same way all the time. That’s why I’m happy. It took me a long time to get to the point where could be myself all the time. – Pia Zadora
179578. I’m just not comfortable with that society stuff. I mean, we were just invited to the White House, but my husband won’t take me because he knows I don’t want to go. – Pia Zadora
179579. I’m gonna give them the advice that I always took myself, that it’s better to get to know somebody before you jump into the sack with them. Because then if you jump into the sack and fall in love, and you liked them already, you’re home free. – Pia Zadora
179580. I love John Waters. You see, I want to be the next Divine. – Pia Zadora
179581. Because a lot of straight people think I’m nuts. – Pia Zadora

179583. I don’t like to go to the movies to see violence or some kind of spy thing with all kinds of information you have to assimilate to understand the plot. – Pia Zadora
179584. I don’t consider myself a sex symbol. – Pia Zadora
179585. I actually started singing those songs six or seven years ago, when I was an opening act for Frank Sinatra. – Pia Zadora
179586. Film, I think, is my medium. – Pia Zadora
179587. Butterfly was certainly a vehicle for me, and if it died, it still would have served its purpose, in spades. We never expected it to give me the visibility it has given me. It was just a small thing as a vehicle, and suddenly the whole world knew about it. – Pia Zadora
179588. But there’s not enough time in life to go sit at a party, have a drink, and make idle conversation. There’s too many important things to do. Just being together with my husband, spending time alone, which I have very little of. – Pia Zadora
179589. And I like the way Cain writes his women. Very strong. They’re kind of lusty, they know what they want, they’re full of conviction. Cain’s women are sexual. – Pia Zadora
179590. You know, it was important for me to do something like that, because nobody ever really thought I could do anything except look sexy on a poster and go shopping. – Pia Zadora
179591. You know, it’s not the people in Hollywood who go to see movies that will make a movie successful; it’s the people all around the country; it’s word-of-mouth. – Pia Zadora
179592. I like to see love stories: romantic comedy or romantic drama. – Pia Zadora

179594. I couldn’t hit an elephant’s ass with a bull fiddle. – Babe Zaharias

179596. I’m a mother, I’m a journalist, I’m an American; I’m all of those things, and it really complicates your job when you have all these things come into play. – Paula Zahn
179597. My challenge was even greater as a journalist, because this was happening in my own backyard. – Paula Zahn
179598. We’re just delighted that management has come around to my way of thinking. – Paula Zahn
179599. I’m not a leading guy. – Steve Zahn
179600. I’m theater trained. – Steve Zahn
179601. For a change, lady luck seemed to be smiling on me. Then again, maybe the fickle wench was just lulling me into a false sense of security while she reached for a rock. – Timothy Zahn
179602. Luck is merely an illusion, trusted by the ignorant and chased by the foolish. – Timothy Zahn
179603. But as the arms-control scholar Thomas Schelling once noted, two things are very expensive in international life: promises when they succeed and threats when they fail. – Fareed Zakaria
179604. The Berlin Wall wasn’t the only barrier to fall after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Traditional barriers to the flow of money, trade, people and ideas also fell. – Fareed Zakaria

179606. Heretics are the only bitter remedy against the entropy of human thought. – Yevgeny Zamyatin
179607. It’s never as good as it feels, and it’s never as bad as it seems. – Edward Zander
179608. I think maybe we were just a little bit overdone. It was saturated. People may have gotten tired of us. We were everywhere, all the time. – Robin Zander
179609. We’re from Rockford, Illinois, but we’ve always thought international. – Robin Zander
179610. Now, I do think when we move into 2012 and ’13 when, presumably, the economy is on firmer ground, I would allow the tax rates for upper-income individuals to revert back to where they were before the cuts in the 1990s. I think at that point it makes perfect sense. – Mark Zandi
179611. Yes. I don’t think it would be appropriate at this point to raise taxes on anyone, certainly not in 2011. – Mark Zandi
179612. I don’t think you can ever do your best. Doing your best is a process of trying to do your best. – Townes Van Zandt
179613. A wig is a wig is a wig. – Billy Zane
179614. For me it’s always about first impressions. I trust my instincts. I love to prepare if it’s something that requires training. But I don’t like to prepare the psychology too much. I enjoy the psychology of the character but I work better from a first impression. – Billy Zane
179615. I paint abstract expressions. – Billy Zane
179616. My best evenings are at home with my lady. – Billy Zane
179617. I want to kill the president because I no like the capitalists. I have the gun in my hand, I kill kings and presidents first and next all capitalists. – Giuseppe Zangara

179621. Selfishness is the only real atheism; unselfishness the only real religion. – Israel Zangwill
179622. A man likes his wife to be just clever enough to appreciate his cleverness, and just stupid enough to admire it. – Israel Zangwill
179623. The only true love is love at first sight; second sight dispels it. – Israel Zangwill
179624. In how many lives does love really play a dominant part? The average taxpayer is no more capable of a ‘grand passion’ than of a grand opera. – Israel Zangwill
179625. Scratch the Christian and you find the pagan – spoiled. – Israel Zangwill
179626. No, the real American has not yet arrived. He is only in the Crucible, I tell you – he will be the fusion of all races, perhaps the coming superman. – Israel Zangwill
179627. No Jew was ever fool enough to turn Christian unless he was a clever man. – Israel Zangwill
179628. New York is the great stone desert. – Israel Zangwill
179629. It takes two men to make one brother. – Israel Zangwill

179636. Any peace process after so many years of horror and terror will be long and difficult. – Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
179637. I want to increase our spending on research and development by 25%. That’s something the U.S. does very well. That dynamism alongside a welfare state in the European community – that’s the synthesis I want to achieve. – Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero

179639. My commitment is my commitment. – Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero

179642. I said when I came into office that I don’t want to be a great leader; I want to be a good democrat. – Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
179643. It’s true that the war in Iraq opened a distance in relations between part of Europe and the U.S. government, but our basic ties are stronger than that. We share democracy, free markets and a commitment to Western security. We differ on how to guarantee that security. – Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
179644. The more equality women have, the fairer, more civilized and tolerant society will be. Sexual equality is a lot more effective against terrorism than military strength. – Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
179645. The economic, social and cultural progress of a nation depends on citizens counting for more and having more rights. – Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
179646. The corporations and the media don’t need power; they already have it. – Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero

179650. Markets are very important but for the government the citizens are more so. – Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
179651. The risk of a terrorist victory is greater when in fighting terror, democracy betrays its own essence. – Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
179652. When we had to do book reports, I would pick a book that no one read and just make it up and turn that in. I got praised for my imagination. – Ahmet Zappa

179654. I collect things that just look retarded. – Ahmet Zappa
179655. I miss my Dad. My Dad loved cheesy monster movies, so we’d have Godzilla movie marathons. Those are some of my favorite memories, laughing at how the monster outfits were so bad, like black garbage bags for heads. – Ahmet Zappa
179656. The way this whole novel thing came together was, I sold them one bill of goods and then didn’t communicate very well. I am like Captain Run-on Sentence. – Ahmet Zappa
179657. I picked books by their covers – the worse the cover, the more I wanted to read it. – Ahmet Zappa
179658. Music can be so disturbing and frustrating. I mean the business side of it. The actual making music part is fun, but the business side of it is just so out of control, has nothing to do with anything. – Dweezil Zappa
179659. While it is true that Frank had a great sense of humor, he was also very serious about composing music. In reality there are only a handful of skilled players who can play his most complex pieces. It takes a lot of patience to learn and requires a fantastic memory. – Dweezil Zappa
179660. Yes, but I view Frank’s music as fully composed. In other words, the arrangements can work for any idiom such as a rock band or an orchestra. Frank was a brilliant arranger and could make his music work in any context. He proved that tour after tour and album after album. – Dweezil Zappa
179661. Well, I haven’t been doing that much work with other people per se. I started doing more of that. – Dweezil Zappa
179662. We will have close to 3 months of rehearsals to learn about 30 songs. Frank usually rehearsed a band for at least 3 months. If it took him that long to be comfortable we probably would need double the amount, but It’s just not financially possible to do so. – Dweezil Zappa
179663. There’s no difference in a lot of people’s minds between good musicians and popular musicians. – Dweezil Zappa
179664. There are so many things that are misunderstood or not recognized about my father’s music because they’ve been filtered by people who work for magazines like Rolling Stone. – Dweezil Zappa
179665. Well, Steve Vai joined my dad’s band right around the time when I actually started playing guitar. So he gave me a couple of lessons on fundamentals, and gave me some scales and practice things to work on. But I pretty much learned everything by ear. – Dweezil Zappa
179666. Just because something has tubes doesn’t mean it’s the best. I mean, tubes are obviously good, but the circuit of this thing is designed well and it sounds good. – Dweezil Zappa
179667. I know my name gets used illegally all the time all over the internet. You know, it is a trademarked name, so it will be something that we always have to deal with. I never needed to change it. It was always fine with me. It is a strange name; that’s for sure. – Dweezil Zappa
179668. About the only thing that I’ll probably end up doing is I made this amplifier with Peavey. It’s in the manufacturing stages right now, and there are a lot of orders that we just got for it. – Dweezil Zappa
179669. And, you know, my dad would show me some things sometimes, but the best things that I got to do were to actually see really good players play up close. That gives you an idea of fingering and technique and what not. – Dweezil Zappa
179670. The music that is played on the radio all the time or written about in magazines has nothing to do with musicianship. – Dweezil Zappa
179671. I would love to expose multiple younger generations to Frank’s music. It’s not an easy task because It’s not ever going to be plastered all over the radio for the masses. – Dweezil Zappa
179672. I really want younger audience members to see kids in their early 20’s playing Frank’s music and to be inspired to take things to a higher level themselves. – Dweezil Zappa
179673. I mean, no offense, but I don’t really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs. – Dweezil Zappa
179674. But the reality is when you write a song, you should be able to strip away all the instruments and just have a song right there with an acoustic guitar and a voice, and the song should be good. – Dweezil Zappa
179675. It was spontaneously composed as I was playing it. And then I added a couple of other overdub textures on top of it after the fact. But it’s one of those things where I wouldn’t be able to sit down and specifically write that. That’s just what came out. – Dweezil Zappa
179676. For me, the most difficult thing is that I am learning melodies on guitar from some songs whose melodies were not meant to be played on guitar. Ever. They were intended mostly for keyboards or melodic percussion. – Dweezil Zappa
179677. Frank’s bands could play the hardest stuff and make it seem like no big deal. – Dweezil Zappa
179678. Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. – Frank Zappa
179679. The computer can’t tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what’s missing is the eyebrows. – Frank Zappa
179680. The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced. – Frank Zappa
179681. There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we’d all love one another. – Frank Zappa
179682. There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life. – Frank Zappa
179683. Without deviation progress is not possible. – Frank Zappa
179684. Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid. – Frank Zappa
179685. Politics is the entertainment branch of industry. – Frank Zappa
179686. You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. – Frank Zappa
179687. Most rock journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can’t talk, for people who can’t read. – Frank Zappa
179688. You can’t always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream. – Frank Zappa
179689. I searched for years I found no love. I’m sure that love will never be a product of plasticity. – Frank Zappa
179690. A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians. – Frank Zappa

179693. Communism doesn’t work because people like to own stuff. – Frank Zappa

179695. I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird. – Frank Zappa
179696. One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people’s minds. – Frank Zappa
179697. If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library. – Frank Zappa
179698. It isn’t necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia. – Frank Zappa
179699. Most people wouldn’t know music if it came up and bit them on the ass. – Frank Zappa
179700. Music is always a commentary on society. – Frank Zappa
179701. No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to. – Frank Zappa

179703. Gag me with a spoon! – Moon Unit Zappa
179704. Every job I’ve ever gotten has been an accident. All the jobs I actually go after, I don’t get. – Moon Unit Zappa
179705. We had two rules growing up in my house: If you’re going to take a shower, do it with whomever you’re dating so you don’t waste water; and if you buy one for yourself, buy six, because everybody’s going to want one. – Moon Unit Zappa
179706. I should just drive around this city and take photos of all the buildings I’ve been humiliated in. – Moon Unit Zappa

179708. I spent most of my life locked in my bedroom, miserable about my raging acne. – Moon Unit Zappa

179716. My mother did literally hitchhike barefoot to the country store. – Moon Unit Zappa

179719. The idea of licking stamps seemed great fun for me. – Moon Unit Zappa
179720. I made enough money to buy a house. That’s crazy, but fame proved ephemeral. – Moon Unit Zappa

179723. I grew up with too much freedom. You can’t define yourself. – Moon Unit Zappa

179732. I got off the abutment and walked towards my office. – Abraham Zapruder
179733. I couldn’t tell if any frames were removed. Seen as a whole it shows that I have seen. Seeing you have 18 frames a second you can take out one or two and I couldn’t tell. – Abraham Zapruder
179734. He leaned about the same way in falling towards Jacqueline, forward, down towards the bottom of the car. – Abraham Zapruder

179761. I am not preparing myself or my family for anything but life. – Michael Zaslow

179767. Doing any job for too long limits your possibilities. – Michael Zaslow

179777. Why should I practice running slow? I already know how to run slow. I want to learn to run fast. – Emil Zatopek

179779. What has passed is already finished with. What I find more interesting is what is still to come. – Emil Zatopek

179785. My running was very simple; it was out of myself. – Emil Zatopek

179793. In the future, when we get serious about executing things correctly, this thing will be very easy to do.

My ambition is to help people. – Panayiotis Zavos
179794. We are not interested in cloning the Michael Jordans and the Michael Jacksons of this world. The rich and the famous don’t participate in this. – Panayiotis Zavos

179796. If we intensify our efforts we can have a cloned baby within a year or two, but I don’t know whether we can intensify our efforts to that extent. We’re not really under pressure to deliver a cloned baby to this world. What we are under pressure to do is to deliver a cloned baby that is a healthy one. – Panayiotis Zavos
179797. And when the time comes to replace the O2 I have today, maybe my next machine will run Linux. – Jamie Zawinski

179801. I eat and drink at my desk, but I’m a tidy eater. – Jamie Zawinski

179807. My one purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others. – Jamie Zawinski
179808. Of course, all of the software I write runs on Linux; that’s the beauty of standards, and of cross-platform code. I don’t have to run your OS, and you don’t have to run mine, and we can use the same applications anyway! – Jamie Zawinski
179809. See, unlike most hackers, I get little joy out of figuring out how to install the latest toy. – Jamie Zawinski
179810. Using these toolkits is like trying to make a bookshelf out of mashed potatoes. – Jamie Zawinski
179811. Why should someone have to retrain themselves to use a new application that does the same basic thing as the old application, just because something as trivial as the operating system changed out from under them? – Jamie Zawinski

179813. If you give a hacker a new toy, the first thing he’ll do is take it apart to figure out how it works. – Jamie Zawinski

179836. We studied the light source in the direction of the magnetic force, we perforated the poles of the magnet; but even in the direction of the magnetic lines of force we found that our result was confirmed. – Pieter Zeeman
179837. According to well-known electrodynamic laws, an electron moving in a magnetic field is acted upon by a force which runs perpendicular to the direction of motion of the electron and to the direction of the magnetic field, and whose magnitude is easily determined. – Pieter Zeeman
179838. Had we really succeeded therefore in altering the period of vibration, which Maxwell, as I have just noted, held to be impossible? Or was there some disturbing circumstances from one or more factors which distorted the result? – Pieter Zeeman
179839. I count myself fortunate to be able to contribute to this work; and the great interest which the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has shown in my work and the recognition that it has paid to my past successes, convince me that I am not on the wrong track. – Pieter Zeeman
179840. I should point out, however, that at first some difficulty was experienced in observing the phenomena predicted by the theory, owing to the extreme smallness of the variations in the period of oscillation. – Pieter Zeeman
179841. It was not simply out of a spirit of contradiction that I exposed a light source to magnetic forces. The idea came to me during an investigation of the effect discovered by Kerr on light reflected by magnetic mirrors. – Pieter Zeeman
179842. Nature gives us all, including Prof. Lorentz, surprises. It was very quickly found that there are many exceptions to the rule of splitting of the lines only into triplets. – Pieter Zeeman
179843. Moreover, photography has made it possible to fix these images and now provides us with a permanent record of each observed spectrum, which can be measured out at any time. – Pieter Zeeman
179844. Now all oscillatory movements of such an electron can be conceived of as being split up into force, and two circular oscillations perpendicular to this direction rotating in opposite directions. – Pieter Zeeman
179845. Now if this electron is displaced from its equilibrium position, a force that is directly proportional to the displacement restores it like a pendulum to its position of rest. – Pieter Zeeman
179846. On the basis of Lorentz’s theory, if we limit ourselves to a single spectral line, it suffices to assume that each atom (or molecule) contains a single moving electron. – Pieter Zeeman
179847. The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio between the mass and the charge of the electron. – Pieter Zeeman
179848. The rotation of the polarization plane is extraordinarily small in all gases, thus also in sodium vapour. – Pieter Zeeman
179849. I have always believed that opera is a planet where the muses work together, join hands and celebrate all the arts. – Franco Zeffirelli
179850. I remember the great atmosphere and the great stadium. – Carl Zeiss
179851. It was in the Seventies but I still recall what was a good night for my club. Of course, the stadium has changed now but I have heard that the atmosphere is still the same. – Carl Zeiss
179852. While I had often said that I wanted to die in bed, what I really meant was that in my old age I wanted to be stepped on by an elephant while making love. – Roger Zelazny
179853. I try to sit down at the typewriter four times a day, even if it’s only five minutes, and write three sentences. – Roger Zelazny
179854. I enjoy slaughtering beasts, and I think of my relatives constantly. – Roger Zelazny
179855. When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all. – Roger Zelazny
179856. It is a pain in the ass waiting around for someone to try to kill you. – Roger Zelazny
179857. As a designer, the mission with which we have been charged is simple: providing space at the right cost. – Harry von Zell
179858. Radio is the most intimate and socially personal medium in the world. – Harry von Zell
179859. I still feel like I’ve crashed the party. – Renee Zellweger
179860. Once you’ve reached the point where you can pay rent, you can go to the vet and you can go to the grocery store, after that point it’s all the same. I don’t have the appetite for a decadent lifestyle. – Renee Zellweger
179861. I remember just lying in the grass, staring at the clouds, wondering where they drifted off to after they floated over Texas. I never would have imagined that one day I would follow one of those clouds and find myself in Hollywood. – Renee Zellweger
179862. I believe in love, but I don’t sit around waiting for it. I buy houses. – Renee Zellweger
179863. Deep down, I’m a Texas girl looking for that big romance every girl dreams about. Biologically, I look forward to being a cornerstone of a family. I’ll be in my glory when I have a child on my knee. – Renee Zellweger
179864. Being horrible in a big film is a quicker nosedive than doing an obscure film and making no money. – Renee Zellweger
179865. Throughout our courtship, Kenny told me that he had proof that Saddam Hussein was a threat because he possessed weapons of mass destruction. I told him, ‘You had me at weapons.’ – Renee Zellweger
179866. No matter how many obstacles that are thrown in our path, there are ways to except them and to live through them. – Robert Zemeckis
179867. Understand life’s mysteries – as mysteries to be lived. – Robert Zemeckis
179868. Talk politics, talk about study and talk positively. – Jiang Zemin
179869. The theory of relativity worked out by Mr. Einstein, which is in the domain of natural science, I believe can also be applied to the political field. Both democracy and human rights are relative concepts – and not absolute and general. – Jiang Zemin
179870. It takes two hands to clap. – Jiang Zemin
179871. Working with plants, trees, fences and walls, if they practice sincerely they will attain enlightenment. – Dogen Zenji
179872. Another differentiator is that Skype is free and simple to set up, and it costs us virtually nothing for a new user to join the Skype network, which is why we can offer the service for free. – Niklas Zennstrom
179873. In fact, we just surpassed our first 1 million simultaneous users online. – Niklas Zennstrom
179874. If you can use a Web browser, you can use Skype. – Niklas Zennstrom
179875. And the VCR did the same thing: the movie industry thought nobody would ever watch movies any more. – Niklas Zennstrom
179876. We also have a conference call feature where up to five people can talk on one Skype call. – Niklas Zennstrom
179877. If you could utilize the resources of the end users’ computers, you could do things much more efficiently. – Niklas Zennstrom
179878. Skype is easy enough to use so that people don’t need to be tech savvy – a lot of users just want to communicate with their friends and family, and they find this is the easiest, cheapest way. – Niklas Zennstrom
179879. Skype is for any individual who has a broadband Internet connection. – Niklas Zennstrom
179880. People need to access Skype wirelessly, no matter where they are, and what happens is that we’ll be taking advantage of the rollout of Internet everywhere – WiFi and WiMax in particular. – Niklas Zennstrom
179881. The telephone is a 100-year-old technology. It’s time for a change. Charging for phone calls is something you did last century. – Niklas Zennstrom
179882. Then people started using it more and more and it became the most downloaded software on the internet. – Niklas Zennstrom
179883. We have 2 million users in the U.S. and about 13 million worldwide in more than 200 countries. – Niklas Zennstrom
179884. We have just started, and if you compare the number of people using Skype to the number using a telephone network around the world, we’re still just starting. – Niklas Zennstrom
179885. What we are doing is taking advantage of the broadband Internet to provide basically unlimited free calls to anyone at a higher voice quality than they can with the phone lines. – Niklas Zennstrom
179886. When radio stations started playing music the record companies started suing radio stations. They thought now that people could listen to music for free, who would want to buy a record in a record shop? But I think we all agree that radio stations are good stuff. – Niklas Zennstrom
179887. With our work at Kazaa, we began seeing growing broadband connections and more powerful computers and more streaming multimedia, and we saw that the traditional way of communicating by phone no longer made a lot of sense. – Niklas Zennstrom
179888. It is very similar to companies like Google and other internet companies. When you go and search on Google you don’t pay for that. But sometimes you click on an advert and Google makes money on that. – Niklas Zennstrom
179889. They also can combine voice with instant messaging and online file sharing. – Niklas Zennstrom
179890. Fate is the endless chain of causation, whereby things are; the reason or formula by which the world goes on. – Citium Zeno
179891. No evil is honorable: but death is honorable; therefore death is not evil. – Citium Zeno
179892. Wellbeing is attained by little and little, and nevertheless is no little thing itself. – Citium Zeno
179893. After Zorro, people spoke Spanish to me for ages. I’m Welsh but that movie instantly gave me a new ethnicity. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179894. I love my lawyer. I have to say that of course! – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179895. I like women who look like women. I hated grunge. No one’s more feminist than me, but you don’t have to look as if you don’t give a – you know. You can be smart, bright, and attractive aesthetically to others – and to yourself. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179896. I like to feel sexy. I know my husband thinks I’m sexy. I think he is too. But I don’t go out half-naked with ‘sex’ written across my back. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179897. I do think I’m lucky I met Michael. Not just Michael Douglas the actor and producer with two Oscars on the shelf, but Michael Douglas, the love of my life. I really do think it was meant to happen. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179898. For marriage to be a success, every woman and every man should have her and his own bathroom. The end. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179899. I think, especially in our business we meet a lot of people, and sometimes you spend so much time being nice to strangers, and so, you know, keeping a clear head and just being nice to each other. And that’s all the advice I can give. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179900. All of a sudden I had a baby, because it went really quick. It was like, ‘Oh! I have a baby!’ So, it’s great. I’m just having a great time with my children. They’re here in New York with me. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179901. I’m intimidated every day I go on the stage and everyday I go on a movie set. It’s terrifying and I always want to reshoot the first day or the first week, I’m so terrified. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179902. Everyone knows we get paid a lot of money, so why pretend otherwise? – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179903. I used to go around looking as frumpy as possible because it was inconceivable you could be attractive as well as be smart. It wasn’t until I started being myself, the way I like to turn out to meet people that I started to get any work. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179904. I was like any new bride, who said, ‘I’m going to cook for my man.’ In fact, once I started a small kitchen fire in a pan. Smoke was pouring from the pan, and I got really scared. Right next to our stove is a small fire extinguisher. You know, easy access. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179905. I’d love to do a show in Vegas with drag queens. The tackier the better. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179906. In Hollywood everything is so documented. If you go for a drink with somebody, it’s passed around the world so quickly. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179907. In Wales it’s brilliant. I go to the pub and see everybody who I went to school with. And everybody goes ‘So what you doing now?’ And I go, ‘Oh, I’m doing a film with Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins.’ And they go, ‘Ooh, good.’ And that’s it. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179908. There are a lot of women who live with pot-bellied pigs. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179909. To make it more familiar to me, I ended up treating my swordplay scenes like choreography. So it was, ‘One and two and three and four and five, and turn and step and down and up and lunge.’ – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179910. When I first met Sean Connery he was as charming and wonderful as I first anticipated. I left Rome thinking: even if I don’t do this, at least I have had a day with Sean. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179911. Words impress me. If a man can speak eloquently and beautifully to me, I just melt on the floor. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179912. Yes, I was in love with my husband at first sight and still am. We have the most solid relationship. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179913. I wish I was born in that era: dancing with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, going to work at the studio dressed in beautiful pants, head scarves, and sunglasses. – Catherine Zeta-Jones
179914. We are not making this demand for the sake of a principle, but in the interests of the proletarian class. – Clara Zetkin
179915. The workers have nothing to gain from this war, but they stand to lose everything that is dear to them. – Clara Zetkin
179916. Bourgeois society is not fundamentally opposed to the bourgeois women’s movement, which is proven by the fact that in various states reforms of private and public laws concerning women have been initiated. – Clara Zetkin
179917. Each reform, therefore, improving the economical and political situation of the workers proves to be an arm that increases the energy with which the proletarian struggle of classes is fought. – Clara Zetkin
179918. For reforms ameliorate the situation of the working class, they lighten the weight of the chains labour is burdened with by capitalism, but they are not sufficient to crush capitalism and to emancipate the workers from their tyranny. – Clara Zetkin
179919. In individual industries where female labour pays an important role, any movement advocating better wages, shorter working hours, etc., would not be doomed from the start because of the attitude of those women workers who are not organized. – Clara Zetkin
179920. Social Democratic and trade union organs have approved of the illegal invasion of Belgium, of the massacre of suspected guerrillas, as well as their wives and children, as well as the destruction of their homes in various towns and districts. – Clara Zetkin
179921. The capitalists speculate on the two following factors: the female worker must be paid as poorly as possible and the competition of female labour must be employed to lower the wages of male workers as much as possible. – Clara Zetkin
179922. The machines, the modern mode of production, slowly undermined domestic production and not just for thousands but for millions of women the question arose: Where do we now find our livelihood? – Clara Zetkin
179923. What made women’s labour particularly attractive to the capitalists was not only its lower price but also the greater submissiveness of women. – Clara Zetkin
179924. The proletarian woman fights hand in hand with the man of her class against capitalist society. – Clara Zetkin
179925. Women’s propaganda must touch upon all those questions which are of great importance to the general proletarian movement. The main task is, indeed, to awaken the women’s class consciousness and to incorporate them into the class struggle. – Clara Zetkin
179926. These interests of the workers, as the exploited and oppressed, class of society, are the same in all countries. – Clara Zetkin
179927. We would, however, perform an injustice to the bourgeois women’s rights movement if we would regard it as solely motivated by economics. No, this movement also contains a more profound spiritual and moral aspect. – Clara Zetkin
179928. What practical conclusions may we now draw for our propaganda work among women? The task of this Party Congress must not be to issue detailed practical suggestions, but to draw up general directions for the proletarian women’s movement. – Clara Zetkin
179929. When a battle for suffrage is conducted, it should only be conducted according to socialist principles, and therefore with the demand of universal suffrage for women and men. – Clara Zetkin
179930. When the men are silent, it is our duty to raise our voices in behalf of our ideals. – Clara Zetkin
179931. When the men kill, it is up to us women to fight for the preservation of life. – Clara Zetkin
179932. The most disastrous phenomenon of the current situation is the factor that imperialism is employing for its own ends all the powers of the proletariat, all of its institutions and weapons, which its fighting vanguard has created for its war of liberation. – Clara Zetkin
179933. Fortunately, many people also enjoy a stand-alone as a sample of something new, like trying the special at a favourite restaurant one night instead of going for the usual. – Sarah Zettel
179934. I suppose if I was to have to pick a few, Ursula LeGuin would have to top the list. It was while reading her work that I decided I wanted to be an author. – Sarah Zettel
179935. Actually, after while, finding the ideas is the easy part. Sorting them through and turning them into stories, now, that’s the hard work. – Sarah Zettel
179936. All of this got me thinking about the history of the westward expansion, and got me to wondering how the exploration of the Solar System would be changed if there were an indigenous presence out there. – Sarah Zettel
179937. Becoming a mother cannot help but change things. An author’s life is reflected in their writing, whether they want it to be or not, and parenthood is one of the biggest life changes there is. – Sarah Zettel
179938. Fantasy is, of course, booming, and I think it’s beginning to stretch its range as well. – Sarah Zettel
179939. First and foremost, The Quiet Invasion is a first contact story. What would we do if we actually found evidence of alien life out there? It’s also about politics. – Sarah Zettel
179940. I describe my plots as follows; A character is walking down the street when all of a sudden a piano falls on them. They spend the rest of the story digging out from under that piano. How they dig, how long and how well, this all depends entirely on the character. – Sarah Zettel
179941. I feel SF is going through an experimental phase right now. – Sarah Zettel
179942. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Communications and left formal education behind. – Sarah Zettel
179943. I have a better internal and intuitive understanding of folklore and myth than science and technology, so in that way fantasy is easier. – Sarah Zettel
179944. I did not want to write a story about the invasion of Earth, so I had to create a race capable of living nearby, which meant to either on the Moon, on Mars, or on Venus. I picked Venus. – Sarah Zettel
179945. I myself was born in Sacramento, California in 1966. – Sarah Zettel
179946. When I’m not at the keyboard, I’m generally reading, practicing tai chi or middle eastern dance, or cooking. – Sarah Zettel
179947. I think people enjoy a series. When you like a story, many readers want more of the same, which is dandy, if the author and the characters have more to say. – Sarah Zettel
179948. I’m mostly a novelist these days, but I have written short stories in Fantasy, Science Fiction and horror. – Sarah Zettel
179949. If I get blocked, it is generally because I don’t know enough about some aspect of the story or the characters. The answer for this is generally more research, or making more background notes, so the place and person can be more fully realized inside my own mind. – Sarah Zettel
179950. My joking answer to this question is that I leave a bowl of milk out on the back porch every night for the Idea Fairy. In the morning, the milk is gone and there’s a brand-new shiny idea by the bowl. – Sarah Zettel
179951. Now, of course, the great thing about the solar system as a frontier is that there are no Indians, so you can have all the glory of the myth of the American westward expansion without any of the guilt. – Sarah Zettel
179952. Now, Venus is an extremely hostile environment, and as such presents a lot of challenges for a science fiction author who wants to create life there. However, as I began to research it more thoroughly, I found myself intrigued by the possibilities the world offers. – Sarah Zettel
179953. Octavia Butler, of course, is brilliant and disturbing. – Sarah Zettel
179954. So, one of the things I was doing with the aliens in The Quiet Invasion was creating that advanced society which had ideas about morality and proper use of natural resources that were radically different from ours, as the Europeans were from the American Indians. – Sarah Zettel
179955. The Lord of the Rings movie set an entirely new standard for fantasy in the movies. – Sarah Zettel
179956. Then, I realized that there is an indigenous presence in the Solar System. It’s us. So, then, I got to wondering what would happen if a more technologically advanced society moved next door to us, the way we moved next door to the American Indians. – Sarah Zettel
179957. When I was in college, I spent a summer working in London. I’d enjoyed tea before that, but then I got actual, really good tea there and never looked back. – Sarah Zettel
179958. I have to do more close research and fact checking for the science fiction. This is not however to say that writing good fantasy does not involve doing good research. – Sarah Zettel
179959. My father was a boxer, though. So, I have a particular interest in Ray Mancini, I think. – Warren Zevon
179960. I don’t learn so good, no matter how good the teacher is. – Warren Zevon
179961. Well, I don’t think it ever did, but in the early ’60s I got interested in folk music. – Warren Zevon
179962. Well, I was interested in playing the piano from as early as I can remember. – Warren Zevon
179963. Yeah, I don’t like, um, I’m not interested in rock ‘n’ roll piano. I find it a little grating. – Warren Zevon
179964. You had to go to a different part of town from where I was to get Muddy Waters singles. I had him on singles. – Warren Zevon
179965. My memory is not even what most people’s is, much less what it oughta be for a discussion like this. – Warren Zevon
179966. But I can’t say that I didn’t like John Hammond’s performances often better than the originals. – Warren Zevon
179967. I don’t like piano solos. – Warren Zevon
179968. That’s my only active wish. I think if I sang like Don Henley, this would be a lot more agreeable business. – Warren Zevon
179969. Glenn Gould was my hero. Glenn Gould was my idol. I loved him. – Warren Zevon
179970. Everywhere I go, I have my little Steinberger, and I like it very well. – Warren Zevon
179971. I loved Hendrix. I mean, really, really loved him. As if he were one of the great classical composers. And he was. That’s how I saw him. – Warren Zevon
179972. Dylan doesn’t have to make Blonde On Blonde every time. – Warren Zevon
179973. Duncan Aldrich has been my partner in most recording projects, and touring projects, for the past decade. – Warren Zevon
179974. But there’s a thin line between songwriting and arranging. – Warren Zevon
179975. I had a good guitar, and I was a young, young kid. – Warren Zevon
179976. Mutineer is the first album of mine without a demo stage. – Warren Zevon
179977. I mean, I haven’t been completely lacking in some enjoyment of Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly. But I just didn’t pay attention to that period of music, obviously. – Warren Zevon
179978. I missed jazz, kind of. And by the time I came to it in life, it was too intimidating to enjoy thoroughly. – Warren Zevon
179979. I played a lot of real normal, straight sessions. – Warren Zevon
179980. I remember certain lines and whose they are. – Warren Zevon
179981. I wish I sang better. – Warren Zevon
179982. I’ll sleep when I’m dead. – Warren Zevon
179983. Well, first of all, let me say that I might have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years. It was one of those phobias that really didn’t pay off. – Warren Zevon
179984. It took me 10 years to realize that I don’t know ’em, 10 years to realize that it’s possible to learn them, then another 10 years to learn how to do things. – Warren Zevon
179985. The primary one being, like I said, I don’t like rock ‘n’ roll piano. – Warren Zevon
179986. I have no guitar technique. – Warren Zevon
179987. My first album is like a terrible John Hammond album, with drums. – Warren Zevon
179988. Piano is like drudgery. – Warren Zevon
179989. Recording at home enables one to eliminate the demo stage, and the presentation stage in the studio, too. – Warren Zevon
179990. So I guess I had, I think they tell me I had, about three years total of piano lessons, off and on. – Warren Zevon
179991. Dylan can do no wrong. – Warren Zevon
179992. I’m not a big jazz fan. – Warren Zevon
179993. Enjoy every sandwich. – Warren Zevon
179994. And I think it’s safe to say that the single very impressive figure to me was Merle Haggard. – Warren Zevon
179995. It’s not that I wanted to be an actor; it’s that I didn’t want to be a dancer! I was trained in traditional Chinese dance, and after working so hard it seemed unfair to just disappear into a group. – Ziyi Zhang
179996. Whatever you see – any good results – are all from the pressure. – Ziyi Zhang
179997. I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother. – Ziyi Zhang
179998. My parents sent me to a dance class, so it was a road chosen by them, not me. But I enjoyed it so much I knew I would become a performer. – Ziyi Zhang
179999. China’s cinema has been rising for some time; it has more exposure, so my chances of becoming internationally known are better. But the first thing I have to do is learn English. If I can grasp the language, then perhaps I can think about the U.S. – Ziyi Zhang
180000. I knew nothing about martial arts. And I don’t really like it! But in the film, I not only had to pretend that I knew all about it, I had to be the best at it. That was very difficult. – Ziyi Zhang
