19218. Research in this country is going down. – Amar Bose

19219. I’m forming a charitable institution for education. – Amar Bose

19220. I loved music, and in my ninth year at MIT, I decided to buy a hi-fi set. I figured that all I needed to do was look at the specifications. So I bought what looked like the best one, turned it on, and turned it off in five minutes, the sound was so poor. – Amar Bose

19221. I hope that the institution will succeed in maximizing students’ potential in the same way. I will give all of my stock to this institution. It will own the Bose Corporation and be funded by the Bose Corporation. – Amar Bose

19222. I had studied violin from age 7 to 14. – Amar Bose

19223. But today the quickest way to save your bottom line is to cut off research. – Amar Bose

19224. At MIT, I had the good fortune for seven years to teach network theory, which is basic to many disciplines, to one-third of the undergraduate student body. It was an experiment to see how high we could bring their level of understanding, and it exceeded all of my expectations. – Amar Bose

19225. At 13, I realized that I could fix anything electronic. It was amazing, I could just do it. I started a business repairing radios. It grew to be one of the largest in Philadelphia. – Amar Bose

19229. Just like other illnesses, depression can be treated so that people can live happy, active lives. – Tom Bosley

19230. So we had life, death, illness, everything – every emotional involvement we had, we experienced. And I think that made what we had to do on stage, stronger. We got very much involved in what we were doing. – Tom Bosley

19231. Many people think that depression is something you just have to live with when you get older, but it’s not. – Tom Bosley

19232. I changed my mind because of a scene between Howard Cunningham and Richie. The father-son situation was written so movingly, I fell in love with the project. – Tom Bosley

19233. Happy Days was about a family… although the show was shot in the 70s, it was about a family in the 50s. I realized that kids were watching their parents grow up and the parents were watching themselves grow up. That was the key to the success of our show. – Tom Bosley

19234. I want to help people with depression understand that there is hope, so that they can get the help they need to live rich, fulfilling lives. – Tom Bosley

19235. Being a father to my family and a husband is to me much more important than what I did in the business. – Tom Bosley

19236. You have to understand that during the course of our show, we were a family for five hours a day, five days a week, maybe four days a week. And we experienced the same things that we experienced in our own family. – Tom Bosley

19239. We could spend time together during the day and just kind of talk and enjoy each other and enjoy the moment. But it was interesting we both knew that once you walk through the gates of that stadium, then it was on, the game was on. – Ralph Boston

19240. To this day I don’t ever remember seeing a pet inside Moscow, I never saw anyone carrying a dog, or leading a dog. Err I finally saw a, a pet some years later in Kiev, so I thought that life must have been, different. – Ralph Boston

19241. So you had to rev your engines, to beat the Russians and I think more than anything, if the Soviet team would win, or the Soviet athletes would win, you would see and hear and read about that. Quite frequently. So they would make a big issue of it. – Ralph Boston

19242. I think I was more or less, convinced of that by just the press, the US press. By people who were pressuring you, saying that you gotta beat the Russian’s, if you don’t win anything else, win the Russian meet and so forth. – Ralph Boston

19243. I think I tried to separate indoors and out. And so when he beat me indoors, I did not see that as letting anybody down, I saw it as a good head to head competition, and so it was. It was fine. – Ralph Boston

19244. Afraid no, I wasn’t afraid but it was an unusual thing, it was an unusual feeling. It was an unusual atmosphere for me having grown up in this country and, and, and never seeing anything like that. – Ralph Boston

19252. A page of my journal is like a cake of portable soup. A little may be diffused into a considerable portion. – James Boswell

19253. A good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation. – James Boswell

19274. Our nation was founded on the principals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. – Leonard Boswell

19275. Our nation’s military and law enforcement personal work hard to protect us. We must thank them for their continued vigilance. Without their sacrifice we would less capable of protecting our nation. – Leonard Boswell

19276. The National Intelligence Director needs the authority to do the job we are asking him to do. That means power over the intelligence budget. And to be effective, to be allowed to do his or her job, they must have authority over the budget. – Leonard Boswell

19311. Genghis Khan was a fascinating man and way ahead of his time. – Ian Botham

19315. I think I’d struggle to get excited by synchronised swimming. – Ian Botham

19316. Direction coupling between the various radiations generated in a nuclear reaction both with one another and with the initiating radiation can also be detected and measured by coincidences; this provides valuable information about the structure of the atomic nuclei. – Walther Bothe

19317. To demonstrate this simultaneity is by no means trivial, because it may for example happen that the product nucleus always forms in an activated state at first. – Walther Bothe

19318. This result was confirmed by different researchers using various experimental arrangements. – Walther Bothe

19319. The material particle nature of primary cosmic radiation has been confirmed, although the processes turned out to be extraordinarily more complicated than we had assumed. – Walther Bothe

19320. The Laboratory for Radioactivity consisted of only two rooms at the time; at a later date, when tests of radioactive substances became more extensive, it expanded into four rooms. – Walther Bothe

19321. Strict conservation of energy in the elementary process had thus been confirmed also by a negative experiment. – Walther Bothe

19322. Rossi was the first to describe another system working with valves in parallel; it has the advantage that it can easily be extended to coincidences between more than two events, and is therefore predominantly used today. – Walther Bothe

19323. Many applications of the coincidence method will therefore be found in the large field of nuclear physics, and we can say without exaggeration that the method is one of the essential tools of the modern nuclear physicist. – Walther Bothe

19324. During this time I had the singular good fortune of being able to discuss the problem constantly with Einstein. Some experiments done at Einstein’s suggestion yielded no decisively new result. – Walther Bothe

19325. In this case, the particle formed has correspondingly less energy, whereas the product nucleus passes into the ground state with emission of the quantity of energy saved as gamma radiation. – Walther Bothe

19326. It is very a dangerous thing to have an idea that you will not practice. – Phyllis Bottome

19327. Truth, though it has many disadvantages, is at least changeless. You can always find it where you left it. – Phyllis Bottome

19330. There are two ways of meeting difficulties: you alter the difficulties or you alter yourself meeting them. – Phyllis Bottome

19331. Neither situations nor people can be altered by the interference of an outsider. If they are to be altered, that alteration must come from within. – Phyllis Bottome

19332. I was driven to give the best possible performance I could based on the material that was given to me and that material was documentary footage of the President speaking to people. – Timothy Bottoms

19333. We all remember where we were and we all remember what we were doing. I had a brother in New York, an uncle, lots of friends in New York. It made me angry, it made me sad; what could I do. – Timothy Bottoms

19334. The DC 9/11: Time of Crisis film was hard to get the part; I had to audition three times. It was very serious and very sobering. We studied and tried to re-create all the stuff that we all saw that day. – Timothy Bottoms

19335. I haven’t heard anything from anyone in the administration. – Timothy Bottoms

19336. I didn’t do this for the President. When I had this opportunity, not only was it work, but it was something that I could do, as an actor, for the victims and their families. Something I could give back. – Timothy Bottoms

19337. Even though I was concentrating on that two-week period from September 11th to September 20th, I was seeing the policy for real, happening, that we were talking about in the film. – Timothy Bottoms

19338. A lot of feature films do two pages a day. – Timothy Bottoms

19339. The one that was most fun was That’s My Bush; the part that I did for Comedy Central. That was a hoot. That was more fun that one should be allowed to have. – Timothy Bottoms

19340. I’m also interested in the modern suggestion that you can have a combination of love and sex in a marriage – which no previous society has ever believed. – Alain de Botton

19341. What is fascinating about marriage is why anyone wants to get married. – Alain de Botton

19342. We may seek a fortune for no greater reason than to secure the respect and attention of people who would otherwise look straight through us. – Alain de Botton

19343. We are certainly influenced by role models, and if we are surrounded by images of beautiful rich people, we will start to think that to be beautiful and rich is very important – just as in the Middle Ages, people were surrounded by images of religious piety. – Alain de Botton

19344. The Arab-Israeli conflict is also in many ways a conflict about status: it’s a war between two peoples who feel deeply humiliated by the other, who want the other to respect them. Battles over status can be even more intractable than those over land or water or oil. – Alain de Botton

19345. Status anxiety definitely exists at a political level. Many Iraqis were annoyed with the US essentially for reasons of status: for not showing them respect, for humiliating them. – Alain de Botton

19346. Pick up any newspaper or magazine, open the TV, and you’ll be bombarded with suggestions of how to have a successful life. Some of these suggestions are deeply unhelpful to our own projects and priorities – and we should take care. – Alain de Botton

19347. Kant and Hegel are interesting thinkers. But I am happy to insist that they are also terrible writers. – Alain de Botton

19348. In Britain, because I live here, I can also run into problems of envy and competition. But all this is just in a day’s work for a writer. You can’t put stuff out there without someone calling you a complete fool. Oh, well. – Alain de Botton

19349. I passionately believe that’s it’s not just what you say that counts, it’s also how you say it – that the success of your argument critically depends on your manner of presenting it. – Alain de Botton

19350. I am conscious of trying to stretch the boundaries of non-fiction writing. It’s always surprised me how little attention many non-fiction writers pay to the formal aspects of their work. – Alain de Botton

19351. Booksellers are the most valuable destination for the lonely, given the numbers of books that were written because authors couldn’t find anyone to talk to. – Alain de Botton

19352. I was uncomfortable writing fiction. My love was the personal essay, rather than the novel. – Alain de Botton

19353. It’s clear to me that there is no good reason for many philosophy books to sound as complicated as they do. – Alain de Botton

19354. Yes, I have played a blitz game once. It was on a train, in 1929. – Mikhail Botvinnik

19356. I have never known a more vulgar expression of betrayal and deceit. – Lucien Bouchard

19357. It’s the continuation of everyone’s childhood to see these young children who grow up full of life, full of intelligence, full of a sense of wonder. And within an instant they’re gone from this world. It’s terrible. – Lucien Bouchard

19358. The musicians are really on board, they’re doing a great job together. There is some kind of a good chemistry, I would say affectionate chemistry and it’s a huge promise of success. – Lucien Bouchard

19359. I defend peoples’ right to do that in a lawful manner, but I have not undertaken that practice myself. – Rick Boucher

19360. The first legislation that I produced relating to the Internet was a bill to overturn a restriction inside of the law that prohibited the Internet backbone from being used for anything other than research and scientific and educational communication. – Rick Boucher

19361. I actually use a computer a lot. I have three computers that I use on a regular basis – one is on my desk top in my Washington office, another is at home, and I have my laptop that I use when I’m travelling. – Rick Boucher

19362. I think that the balance needs to be restored, and I would note that in the camp in which I am in, one finds libraries, universities, the Internet industry, the manufacturers of digital media, and consumers. – Rick Boucher

19363. I have been involved in Internet-related policy for approximately one decade, and I have been using the Internet myself for almost that period of time. – Rick Boucher

19364. Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them. – Dion Boucicault

19365. At the end of the competition, I played the Liszt concerto and I felt my head was on the block. Well, I won. – Andre Boucourechliev

19366. I always knew I would live in France. – Andre Boucourechliev

19367. Money is a good servant, but a poor master. – Dominique Bouhours

19368. I said to Scott that the ascent seemed to be going slowly and that I was concerned descending climbers could possibly run out of oxygen before their return to camp IV. – Anatoli Boukreev

19369. What we can do now is contribute to a clearer understanding of what happened that day on Everest in the hope that the lessons to be learned will reduce the risk for others who, like us, take on the challenge of the mountains. – Anatoli Boukreev

19370. This year my role is clear: I am a coach, a coach to sportsmen. – Anatoli Boukreev

19371. There are many questions, but I cannot answer because I’m not a businessman, I am a climber. – Anatoli Boukreev

19372. People respected my experience, they hire me, they pay me what I am worth to coach their team. – Anatoli Boukreev

19373. I want this book to be facts, to be important, to be history. – Anatoli Boukreev

19374. I travel to Jakarta, I see what an important country it is. I’ve been working with them for a year. – Anatoli Boukreev

19375. I think that people ran out of oxygen and don’t really know what happened up there, maybe some of them just made things up because they weren’t sure what had happened. – Anatoli Boukreev

19376. A review of summit day photographs will show that I was clothed in the latest, highest quality, high altitude gear, comparable, if not better, than that worn by the other members of our expedition. – Anatoli Boukreev

19377. I offer my expertise and experience for hire in order to help a group of people reach the summit. – Anatoli Boukreev

19378. I explained I wanted to descend as quickly as possible to camp IV in order to warm myself and gather a supply of hot drink and oxygen in the event I might need to go back up the mountain to assist descending climbers. – Anatoli Boukreev

19379. I don’t know what being an Everest guide means. I am a coach, not a guide. – Anatoli Boukreev

19380. I am not sure the others are as committed as Rob Hall and Scott Fischer. I think there is more business now, and I know it will be impossible to stop this Everest business. – Anatoli Boukreev

19381. Concerned that others were not coming onto the summit and because I had no radio link to those below me, I began to wonder if there were difficulties down the mountain. I made the decision to descend. – Anatoli Boukreev

19382. Climbing is what I do. – Anatoli Boukreev

19383. I respect Everest very much. – Anatoli Boukreev

19384. I told them, you can succeed – it’s not likely the first time, maybe 25 per cent, but you CAN succeed. You can also die. By April 16 they had already been to camp III, well ahead of most teams. – Anatoli Boukreev

19385. The essential conditions of everything you do must be choice, love, passion. – Nadia Boulanger

19386. Loving a child doesn’t mean giving in to all his whims; to love him is to bring out the best in him, to teach him to love what is difficult. – Nadia Boulanger

19387. Life is denied by lack of attention, whether it be to cleaning windows or trying to write a masterpiece. – Nadia Boulanger

19388. I’ve been a woman for a little over 50 years and have gotten over my initial astonishment. As for conducting an orchestra, that’s a job where I don’t think sex plays much part. – Nadia Boulanger

19389. Everything we know by heart enriches us and helps us find ourselves. If it should get in the way of finding ourselves, it is because we have no personality. – Nadia Boulanger

19390. Do not take up music unless you would rather die than not do so. – Nadia Boulanger

19391. A great work is made out of a combination of obedience and liberty. – Nadia Boulanger

19392. Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. – Pierre Boulez

19393. You only need a few people to effect a kidnapping. – Robert Bourassa

19394. A diplomat had been kidnapped, a cabinet minister had been kidnapped, they were under threats of murder. The police forces were rather tired. After a whole week, we were unable to find those that had effected the kidnappings. – Robert Bourassa

19395. It is very difficult to know what may be in the back of the mind of public figures. – Robert Bourassa

19621. And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I’m going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I’m going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan. – David Bowie

19622. But I’ve got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album’s worth of work as his legacy. That’s all that life allowed him. – David Bowie

19623. Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I’ve seen on some of the songs that I’ve written are a lot more interesting than the input that I put in. – David Bowie

19649. The American people know that every day 3,000 kids begin to smoke, 1,000 of them die an early death. They’re not going to allow us to go forward this year and not have comprehensive bipartisan legislation. It’s in everybody’s best interest. – Erskine Bowles

19660. My kids are free to do what ever they want. Because I only advise. I don’t make them do anything. – Jack Bowman

19661. My art and poetry is very political now. Because you’ve got to find that truth within you and express yourself. Somewhere out there, I know, there will be people who will listen. – Jack Bowman

19664. We’re all so mauled by information, but it’s recycled information. We need to shut it out. So, you’ve got to get bizarre. This is an artist’s purpose – to break away from the recycled. Performance art can do that. – Jack Bowman

19665. All good performance pieces have some philosophical validity. That’s the difference between mere theater and performance art. – Jack Bowman

19667. I was a gang leader. Although, it was a gang for defensive purposes. It was not a gang to sell drugs. – Jack Bowman

19668. I love old books. They tell you stories about their use. You can see where the fingerprints touched the pages as they held the book open. You can see how long they lingered on each page by the finger stains. – Jack Bowman

19669. I believe that I understand gangs better than others. Because they’re formed out of necessity. They’re formed by people to keep from being suppressed. – Jack Bowman

19670. Freedom. It’s not something you go out and die for. – Jack Bowman

19671. Performance art is the ultimate in creativity. Since it has so many possibilities at creativity, it’s essence tends to become creativity. – Jack Bowman

19673. I’ve been in elementary education for years and my belief is that Christmas pageants in schools are little more than conditioning kids for the Christian religion. – Jack Bowman

19674. Basically the school system sets you up with what it wants to set you up with. They’re really good at it. I think they’re too good. Problem is, what they’re doing is conditioning kids to merely accept the culture at hand. But the rebels won’t accept it. – Jack Bowman

19675. At one point, when I was 20 and living in Kentucky, I got shot – it was a land dispute over six inches of property that ran a hundred yards through my grandfather’s land. It was really over the honor of my family and that of another family. – Jack Bowman

19681. With so many of our fundamental rights hanging in the balance, it is not good enough to simply roll the dice, hoping a nominee has changed his past views. It’s not good enough to think, ‘This is the best we can expect from this president’. – Barbara Boxer

19682. So when you go up against the Far Right you go up against the big financial special interests like the Halliburtons of the world, the big oil companies, the big energy companies who work so hard to rip us off. – Barbara Boxer

19683. Since 1980, we’ve used reconciliation 22 times, and out of those times, Republicans used it 16 times. So, earth to my Republican friends, you can have your option but you cannot change these facts. They’re in the Congressional Record. – Barbara Boxer

19694. We know no document is perfect, but when we amend the Constitution, it would be to expand rights, not to take away rights from decent, loyal Americans. This great Constitution of ours should never be used to make a group of Americans permanent second-class citizens. – Barbara Boxer

19695. We need to give the Iraqis a chance to build their own future. It should be in their hands. It must be in their hands. That is what democracy is all about. We can teach it, we can explain it, but they must want it enough to make it work for them. – Barbara Boxer

19696. When you take a stand out of deep conviction, people know. They may not even agree, but they ask, ‘Do I want someone who is willing to take a hard stand and someone I can trust to do that when the chips are down?’ They want that. – Barbara Boxer

19697. You know, I wish the world well. I want Iraq to have democracy and the Haitians to have democracy. I want the people of Afghanistan to thrive. Lord knows, we spend enough money there to help them. What about people at home? Isn’t that our first responsibility? – Barbara Boxer

Please lie and say it’s bronchitis, because if you write down asthma, when my child turns 18 or 20 and has to get his or her own insurance, it will be a pre-existing condition.’ – Barbara Boxer

19711. Look, all this is about is utilizing the rules of the Senate, using a majority of the senators, to make sure that we get health reform done. We cannot wait another day. – Barbara Boxer

19731. A show needs time to find an audience, and they’re very quick to pull them off the air now. – Bruce Boxleitner

19940. I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it’s better than college. People should educate themselves – you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I’d written a thousand stories. – Ray Bradbury

19941. I know you’ve heard it a thousand times before. But it’s true – hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don’t love something, then don’t do it. – Ray Bradbury

19942. I don’t try to describe the future. I try to prevent it. – Ray Bradbury

19961. We made only one real mistake. And even then we were right. – Ben Bradlee

19962. If an investigative reporter finds out that someone has been robbing the store, that may be “gotcha” journalism, but it’s also good journalism. – Ben Bradlee

19974. Shakespeare also introduces the supernatural into some of his tragedies; he introduces ghosts, and witches who have supernatural knowledge. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19975. When Shakespeare begins his exposition thus he generally at first makes people talk about the hero, but keeps the hero himself for some time out of sight, so that we await his entrance with curiosity, and sometimes with anxiety. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19976. We might not object to the statement that Lear deserved to suffer for his folly, selfishness and tyranny; but to assert that he deserved to suffer what he did suffer is to do violence not merely to language but to any healthy moral sense. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19977. We cannot arrive at Shakespeare’s whole dramatic way of looking at the world from his tragedies alone, as we can arrive at Milton’s way of regarding things, or at Wordsworth’s or at Shelley’s, by examining almost any one of their important works. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19978. A Shakespearean tragedy as so far considered may be called a story of exceptional calamity leading to the death of a man in high estate. But it is clearly much more than this, and we have now to regard it from another side. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19979. Shakespeare very rarely makes the least attempt to surprise by his catastrophes. They are felt to be inevitable, though the precise way in which they will be brought about is not, of course, foreseen. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19980. Nor does the idea of a moral order asserting itself against attack or want of conformity answer in full to our feelings regarding the tragic character. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19981. Most people, even among those who know Shakespeare well and come into real contact with his mind, are inclined to isolate and exaggerate some one aspect of the tragic fact. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19982. Job was the greatest of all the children of the east, and his afflictions were well-nigh more than he could bear; but even if we imagined them wearing him to death, that would not make his story tragic. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19985. In Shakespearean tragedy the main source of the convulsion which produces suffering and death is never good: good contributes to this convulsion only from its tragic implication with its opposite in one and the same character. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19986. In approaching our subject it will be best, without attempting to shorten the path by referring to famous theories of the drama, to start directly from the facts, and to collect from them gradually an idea of Shakespearean Tragedy. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19987. But, in addition, there is, all through the tragedy, a constant alternation of rises and falls in this tension or in the emotional pitch of the work, a regular sequence of more exciting and less exciting sections. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19988. Both Brutus and Hamlet are highly intellectual by nature and reflective by habit. Both may even be called, in a popular sense, philosophic; Brutus may be called so in a stricter sense. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19989. King Lear alone among these plays has a distinct double action. Besides this, it is impossible, I think, from the point of view of construction, to regard the hero as the leading figure. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19990. Shakespeare’s idea of the tragic fact is larger than this idea and goes beyond it; but it includes it, and it is worth while to observe the identity of the two in a certain point which is often ignored. – Andrew Coyle Bradley

19992. Leaders should be collaborative, modest, and generous. – Bill Bradley
