35210. Luckily, in my case, I have managed, by writing, to do the one thing that I always wanted to do. – Jonathan Coe

35211. But we are entitled to look for continuity in politics. – Jonathan Coe

35212. My only regret is that I signed away the world rights and in America they’ve been far and away my most successful books, but I never saw a cent from any of it. – Jonathan Coe

35213. Thatcherism has become bigger than she ever was. – Jonathan Coe

35214. The more melancholy side of my literary personality is much in tune with BS Johnson’s. – Jonathan Coe

35215. They were written in the early ’90s when I was strapped for cash. – Jonathan Coe

35216. Writers never feel comfortable having labels attached to them, however accurate they are. – Jonathan Coe

35217. I’m one of those unlucky people who had a happy childhood. – Jonathan Coe

35218. The biggest markets for my books outside the UK are France and Italy, and those are the two countries where I also have the closest personal relationships with my translators – I don’t know whether that’s a coincidence, or if there’s something to be learned from it. – Jonathan Coe

35219. I live a perfectly happy and comfortable life in Blair’s Britain, but I can’t work up much affection for the culture we’ve created for ourselves: it’s too cynical, too knowing, too ironic, too empty of real value and meaning. – Jonathan Coe

35220. I have two ideas for novels at the moment, neither of them all that conventional, but I’m not ready to choose between them yet, let alone settle down to the process of writing. – Jonathan Coe

35221. I became quite taken over by Johnson’s personality at some points while writing the biography, and since I went straight on to The Closed Circle afterwards, I did sometimes feel I could hear him whispering in my ear while I was working on it. – Jonathan Coe

35222. But you can try to read books at the wrong time or for the wrong reasons. – Jonathan Coe

35223. But I have always – ever since The Accidental Woman – written novels about individuals attempting to make choices in the context of situations over which they have no control. – Jonathan Coe

35224. But at the same time, I have trouble keeping things out of books, which is why I don’t write short stories because they turn into novels. – Jonathan Coe

35225. As the books grew bigger and more ambitious, the situations in question sometimes became political ones, and so it became necessary to start painting in the social background on a scale which eventually became panoramic. – Jonathan Coe

35226. As soon as you start writing about how human beings interact with each other socially, you’re into politics, aren’t you? – Jonathan Coe

35227. As I said, I had no publisher for What a Carve Up! while I was writing it, so all we had to live off was my wife’s money and little bits I was picking up for journalism. – Jonathan Coe

35228. Ah, well, I have no talent for nonfiction, that’s my problem. – Jonathan Coe

35229. Contemporary Britain seems an endlessly fascinating place to me – but if I knew a little bit more about other places, and other times, maybe it wouldn’t. – Jonathan Coe

35230. I think it’s also the case that I’m not as widely travelled, or as well-educated in history, as most of the other novelists I meet: so I have to write about my own country, at the present time, because it’s more or less all I know about! – Jonathan Coe

35231. Quite simply the Games are the biggest opportunity sport in this country has ever had. It is one that we must not squander. – Sebastian Coe

35232. World records are only borrowed. – Sebastian Coe

35233. We need to be confident. We need not to blink. – Sebastian Coe

35234. To anyone who has started out on a long campaign believing that the gold medal was destined for him, the feeling when, all of a sudden, the medal has gone somewhere else is quite indescribable. – Sebastian Coe

35236. The London Games will be designed for the athletes and we will provide them with the very best venues and the very best conditions to pursue their sporting dreams in London. – Sebastian Coe

35237. All pressure is self-inflicted. It’s what you make of it or how you let it rub off on you. – Sebastian Coe

35238. I’m not sure there are enough coaches in the system that can take young talent and consistently get them into the top five in the world. – Sebastian Coe

35239. Our success in Singapore was a Herculean effort by the whole team. Now I am determined to deliver on all we promised. I will be watching like a hawk. – Sebastian Coe

35240. The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people’s opinions. – Paulo Coelho

35241. The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love. – Paulo Coelho

35242. One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving. – Paulo Coelho

35244. You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it. – Paulo Coelho

35245. You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It’s just a matter of paying attention to this miracle. – Paulo Coelho

35246. When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. – Paulo Coelho

35247. When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream. – Paulo Coelho

35248. We have to stop and be humble enough to understand that there is something called mystery. – Paulo Coelho

35249. Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience. – Paulo Coelho

35250. Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering. – Paulo Coelho

35251. Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream. – Paulo Coelho

35252. No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone’s eyes. – Paulo Coelho

35253. Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only its light, not its shadows. – Paulo Coelho

35259. Beauty is the greatest seducer of man. – Paulo Coelho

35260. We haven’t had to defend anything to anybody. – Ethan Coen

35261. We tend to do period stuff because it helps make it one step removed from boring everyday reality. – Ethan Coen

35262. When the movie’s done, you talk about either the score or source music over a particular scene, what might work. You just throw a piece of music over the scene, and we both listen to it. – Ethan Coen

35263. The mountain music… is compelling music in its own right, harking back to a time when music was a part of everyday life and not something performed by celebrities. – Ethan Coen

35264. I mean, Joel talks to the actors more than I do and I probably do production stuff a little more than he does. – Ethan Coen

35265. Being non-commercial is never an ambition. Movies come together at different points for fortuitous reasons. You do them as you get the opportunity, as opposed to doing them when you choose to or design to. – Ethan Coen

35266. We wouldn’t have done it if we didn’t think we could have fun with it. – Ethan Coen

35267. There aren’t reasons why you like this song or this piece of music, or don’t like it. It’s just, it’s either right or wrong, you know? – Ethan Coen

35268. I couldn’t have been happier with the relationship we had with Disney, it couldn’t have been easier. – Joel Coen

35269. I guess there’s a certain amount of poking fun at certain characters, but that’s because there is something amusing about them or about the way they behave, so I guess you can say that that’s poking fun at the character. But the character is your own invention, so who cares? – Joel Coen

35270. I guess everything having to do with your background has some influence on how you tell stories but it’s hard to parse how growing up in a Jewish community in Minnesota really affected it. – Joel Coen

35271. I think when you watch the dailies, the film that you shoot every day, you’re very excited by it and very optimistic about how it’s going to work. – Joel Coen

35272. I always admired Stanley Kubrick for the fact that he managed to beat the system somehow. I think he kind of had it all figured out. – Joel Coen

35273. Barton Fink got written very quickly, in about three weeks. I don’t know what that means. – Joel Coen

35274. And when you see it the first time you put the film together, the roughest cut, is when you want to go home and open up your veins and get in a warm tub and just go away. And then it gradually, maybe, works its way back, somewhere toward that spot you were at before. – Joel Coen

35275. I guess it beats throwing trash for a living. – Joel Coen

35276. Our mother was a very religious and observant Jew, our father less so. She was kind of driving the religious education, so for us it was more a burden and an obligation when we were kids at that age. – Joel Coen

35277. The characters are the result of two things-first, we elaborate them into fairly well-defined people through their dialogue, then they happen all over again, when the actor interprets them. – Joel Coen

35278. You love all your characters, even the ridiculous ones. You have to on some level; they’re your weird creations in some kind of way. I don’t even know how you approach the process of conceiving the characters if in a sense you hated them. It’s just absurd. – Joel Coen

35279. When you do a writing job for a studio, one of the things you want to do is satisfy the expectations of your employer. That’s a little bit different than when you sit down and write something to satisfy yourself, because then you’re the employer. – Joel Coen

35280. When we do a movie with the studios, they wouldn’t be asking us to do it, I don’t think, if it was a movie they wanted to get into themselves. What you see is what you get with us, so they let us do what we want to do. – Joel Coen

35281. We’ve been remarkably lucky in that we’ve been free to make the movies we’ve wanted to make the way we’ve wanted to make them. They’ve all been made for a price. – Joel Coen

35282. We have an uncanny ability to make birds do what we want them to do. In Blood Simple there’s a shot from the bumper of a car and it’s going up this road and a huge flock of birds takes off at the perfect moment. – Joel Coen

35283. We don’t have any rules about how we depict violence, or how much violence is in a movie. It’s a calibration on a case-by-case basis. – Joel Coen

35284. We create monsters and then we can’t control them. – Joel Coen

35285. Usually, I don’t want to sit down and listen to the director gas on about his movie. I just can’t actually imagine myself sitting down and having that much to say. – Joel Coen

35286. You see a moral in them? Do we have morals? – Joel Coen

35287. The question is: Where would it get you if something that’s a little bit ambiguous in the movie is made clear? It doesn’t get you anywhere. – Joel Coen

35288. You’re doing it to make the character as specific as possible, so that it’s a specific individual that you’re talking about, not that whole class of people. – Joel Coen

35289. The point at which we worked with some of these actors, they weren’t really stars yet. Nicolas Cage was not a big star when we did Raising Arizona. A lot of these people were also virtually unknown, too, when we worked with them first. – Joel Coen

35290. I’ve never really understood that. It’s a funny thing; people sometimes accuse us of condescending to our characters somehow-that to me is kind of inexplicable. – Joel Coen

35291. Some people come out going, I don’t get it. And I don’t quite know what they’re trying to get, what they’re struggling for. We have had the reaction where people leave the movie sort of uncomfortable and befuddled. Although that wasn’t our intention. – Joel Coen

35292. I’d be perfectly happy never to have to answer anything again about how I work with Ethan, or whether we have arguments, or… you know what I mean? I’ve been answering those questions for 20 years. I suppose it’s interesting to people. – Joel Coen

35293. The architecture of a story can be a little bit different if it’s a true story. – Joel Coen

35294. If the material is challenging, it forces you to challenge yourself when handling it. – Joel Coen

35295. It’s a funny thing because you look at the careers of other filmmakers, and you see them sort of slow down, and you realize, maybe this becomes harder to do as you get older. That’s sort of a cautionary thing. I hope it doesn’t happen to me. – Joel Coen

35296. It’s almost like a genre rule: Don’t Open The Box. – Joel Coen

35297. Maybe our telling of the story wasn’t as clear as it should have been, but I don’t think that’s true. In terms of understanding the story, it comes across. – Joel Coen

35298. Maybe there should be less of a mystique around making movies. I just don’t think that there’s any real mystery there. – Joel Coen

35299. Other kinds of movie stars, it’s a different thing, they bring their persona to the part and that’s what people like to see, and they are not really transforming in terms of their character. – Joel Coen

35300. People that have been interested in our work for awhile… those are the last people you want to disappoint. – Joel Coen

35301. Sometimes, in certain stories, I think we know at the outset essentially what the tone is going to be, or it becomes important that we’re groping toward some kind of story with a certain kind of tone that we both get somehow. But I don’t think how that’s combined with other elements is ever in any way overtly discussed. – Joel Coen

35302. We are not by nature cruel. – J. M. Coetzee

35303. I see no marks of Wordsworths style of writing or style of thinking in my own work, yet Wordsworth is a constant presence when I write about human beings and their relations to the natural world. – J. M. Coetzee

35304. There are works of literature whose influence is strong but indirect because it is mediated through the whole of the culture rather than immediately through imitation. Wordsworth is the case that comes to mind. – J. M. Coetzee

35305. The writers who have the deepest influence on one are those one reads in ones more impressionable, early life, and often it is the more youthful works of those writers that leave the deepest imprint. – J. M. Coetzee

35306. The most important of all rights is the right to life, and I cannot foresee a day when domesticated animals will be granted that right in law. – J. M. Coetzee

35307. The mode of consciousness of nonhuman species is quite different from human consciousness. – J. M. Coetzee

35308. The idea of writer as sage is pretty much dead today. I would certainly feel very uncomfortable in the role. – J. M. Coetzee

35309. That has always seemed to me one of the stranger aspects of literary fame: you prove your competence as a writer and an inventor of stories, and then people clamour for you to make speeches and tell them what you think about the world. – J. M. Coetzee

35310. Strictly speaking, my interest is not in legal rights for animals but in a change of heart towards animals. – J. M. Coetzee

35311. My response, a dubious and hesitant one, is that it has been and may continue to be, in the time that is left to me, more productive to live out the question than to try to answer it in abstract terms. – J. M. Coetzee

35312. I say that I represent this movement because my intellectual allegiances are clearly European, not African. – J. M. Coetzee

35313. If it is indeed impossible – or at least very difficult – to inhabit the consciousness of an animal, then in writing about animals there is a temptation to project upon them feelings and thoughts that may belong only to our own human mind and heart. – J. M. Coetzee

35314. Elizabeth, Lady C, claims to be writing at the limits of language. Would it not be insulting to her if I were diligently to follow after her, explaining what she means but is not smart enough to say? – J. M. Coetzee

35315. In order to be cruel we have to close our hearts to the suffering of the other. – J. M. Coetzee

35316. As for September 11, let us not too easily grant the Americans possession of that date on the calendar. Like May 1 or July 14 or December 25, September 11 may seem full of significance to some people, while to other people it is just another day. – J. M. Coetzee

35317. I tend to resist invitations to interpret my own fiction. – J. M. Coetzee

35318. As you see, I do not treat the creation of fiction, that to say the invention and development of fantasies, as a form of abstract thought. I dont wish to deny the uses of the intellect, but sometimes one has the intuition that the intellect by itself will lead one nowhere. – J. M. Coetzee

35319. If there were a better, clearer, shorter way of saying what the fiction says, then why not scrap the fiction? – J. M. Coetzee

35320. In its conception the literature prize belongs to days when a writer could still be thought of as, by virtue of his or her occupation, a sage, someone with no institutional affiliations who could offer an authoritative word on our times as well as on our moral life. – J. M. Coetzee

35321. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time here, but I had the seven best years of my career in this city and having an attachment here 20-some odd years later is pretty special to me. – Paul Coffey

35322. I went on and was still able to play some good hockey. – Paul Coffey

35323. Nobody’s a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It’s hard to stay on top. – Paul Coffey

35324. Having Wayne in town will be exciting enough. – Paul Coffey

35325. One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment. – Harold Coffin

35326. Middle age is the awkward period when Father Time starts catching up with Mother Nature. – Harold Coffin

35328. The fellow who thinks he knows it all is especially annoying to those of us who do. – Harold Coffin

35329. Envy is the art of counting the other fellow’s blessings instead of your own. – Harold Coffin

35330. A consumer is a shopper who is sore about something. – Harold Coffin

35331. Corporations cannot commit treason, or be outlawed or excommunicated, for they have no souls. – Harold Coffin

35332. Behind every successful man you’ll find a woman who has nothing to wear. – Harold Coffin

35333. In the business world an executive knows something about everything, a technician knows everything about something and the switchboard operator knows everything. – Harold Coffin

35334. The only thing worse than an active conscience is one that’s retroactive. – Harold Coffin

35335. The world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but love. – William Sloane Coffin, Jr.

35336. Hope arouses, as nothing else can arouse, a passion for the possible. – William Sloane Coffin, Jr.

35337. It’s too bad that one has to conceive of sports as being the only arena where risks are, for all of life is risk exercise. That’s the only way to live more freely, and more interestingly. – William Sloane Coffin, Jr.

35338. The cause of violence is not ignorance. It is self-interest. Only reverance can restrain violence – reverance for human life and the environment. – William Sloane Coffin, Jr.

35339. The woman most in need of liberation is the woman in every man and the man in every woman. – William Sloane Coffin, Jr.

35340. Many a bum show has been saved by the flag. – George M. Cohan

35341. Ladies and gentlemen, my mother thanks you, my father thanks you, my sister thanks you, and I thank you! – George M. Cohan

35342. Hurried and worried until we’re buried, and there’s no curtain call, Lifes a very funny proposition after all. – George M. Cohan

35343. I don’t care what you say about me, as long as you say something about me, and as long as you spell my name right. – George M. Cohan

35344. Our history is not our destiny. – Alan Cohen

35345. The same Source that gave you the idea, will give you the means to see it through. – Alan Cohen

35346. You will find truth more quickly through delight than gravity. Let out a little more string on your kite. – Alan Cohen

35347. You can only see in someone else what you see in yourself. – Alan Cohen

35348. You can always tell what you believe by what you are getting. – Alan Cohen

35349. You are in integrity when the life you are living on the outside matches who you are on the inside. – Alan Cohen

35350. You are doing better than you think you are. – Alan Cohen

35351. To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven. Don’t wait until you die. If you wait, you die now. If you love, you live now. – Alan Cohen

35352. God is a frequency. Stay tuned. – Alan Cohen

35353. Joy is not the result of getting what you want; it is the way to get what you want. In the deepest sense, joy is what you want. – Alan Cohen

35354. Everything will line up perfectly when knowing and living the truth becomes more important than looking good. – Alan Cohen

35355. Great masters neither want nor need your worship. Your greatest gift to them and yourself is to emulate their divinity by claiming it as your own. – Alan Cohen

35356. Guilt: punishing yourself before God doesn’t. – Alan Cohen

35357. What are you accepting that would not be a part of your ideal day? – Alan Cohen

35358. If you sense there must be more, there is more. – Alan Cohen

35359. Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts. – Alan Cohen

35360. It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. – Alan Cohen

35361. Everyone and everything that shows up in our life is a reflection of something that is happening inside of us. – Alan Cohen

35362. When a human being becomes so still that they begin to lose awareness of their gender, and they are simply looking into that abyss where there is no notion of self whatsoever, the world disappears. And that’s really the only place to go. It’s the only place to remain. – Andrew Cohen

35363. To campaign against colonialism is like barking up a tree that has already been cut down. – Andrew Cohen

35364. Our true nature is free of any and all notions of gender, of any notions of difference whatsoever. – Andrew Cohen

35365. The excitement that you were feeling about a special, unique path for yourself as a woman is all part of your identification with and attachment to being female. And that’s ultimately all ego. – Andrew Cohen

35366. The executive branch maneuvered this result deftly. – Andrew Cohen

35367. There’s nothing tantric about my particular view on life. – Andrew Cohen

35368. We have been very conditioned by the cultures that we come from and are usually very identified with the particular gender that we happen to be a member of. – Andrew Cohen

35369. We have to be willing to give up all the injustices of the past that did exist – and that do exist right now. When we become interested in liberation, we then become interested in that which transcends time. – Andrew Cohen

35370. We really have to be willing to find out who we are instead of rebelling for the equal rights that we’ve been denied, that we do deserve. – Andrew Cohen

35371. What you’re getting excited about is not A face, but a feminine face. – Andrew Cohen

35372. Most men are very attached to the idea of being male, and usually experience a lot of fear and insecurity around the idea of being a man. Most women are very identified with their gender, and also experience a tremendous amount of fear and insecurity. – Andrew Cohen

35373. When you come together with your other half, you immediately experience a sense of wholeness and completeness. – Andrew Cohen

35374. We’re making far too big a deal out of our sexual preferences. It’s just another form of narcissism, and I think it can be a big problem and a tremendous obstacle. – Andrew Cohen

35375. Everybody wants to get enlightened but nobody wants to change. – Andrew Cohen

35376. Our relationship to reality and to our experience is all based upon the ideas in our mind that we’re always trying to live up to. – Andrew Cohen

35377. Almost all the ideas we have about being a man or being a woman are so burdened with pain, anxiety, fear and self-doubt. For many of us, the confusion around this question is excruciating. – Andrew Cohen

35378. One of the most extraordinary things about being a spiritual teacher is the rare privilege of being able to look deeply into the very souls of many human beings at the same time. – Andrew Cohen

35379. Freedom has no history. – Andrew Cohen

35380. Hopefully, America will really get a sense of how justice can be served in this country. And hopefully, they’ll forget the Simpson trial. – Andrew Cohen

35381. I am already inherently full and complete as I am. Man doesn’t need woman and woman doesn’t need man in order to experience his or her inherent fullness. – Andrew Cohen

35382. I’m suspicious of any man or woman who approaches their own liberation with any kind of gender bias. – Andrew Cohen

35383. In my experience, men are not necessarily less sensitive or compassionate than women are, and women are not necessarily any less aggressive or competitive than men are – as a matter of fact, often they are more so! – Andrew Cohen

35384. It is not enough to be well-intentioned; one must strive to put those intentions into action in a capable way. One must consider the effect his actions will have on others. Looked at like this, to persist in ignorance is itself dishonorable. – Andrew Cohen

35385. It is true that women tend to be more identified with their bodies because in this crazy world, both men and women measure women’s value as human beings in relationship to their physical appearance. – Andrew Cohen

35386. Men are recognizing that they have been forced to conform to a very narrow and rather two-dimensional picture of maleness and manhood that they have never had the freedom to question. – Andrew Cohen

35387. I’m not convinced that what are traditionally considered to be male energies or qualities or female energies or qualities really have as much to do with gender as many people think they do. – Andrew Cohen

35388. A lot of people in spiritual life use the awareness of difference, and the spiritual glorification of difference, as a justification to indulge in that which is ultimately unreal. – Andrew Cohen

35389. When I look back at the way that I was in that documentary I cringe. – Benjamin Cohen

35390. I’ve found that in business opportunities will constantly emerge or situations develop that make you revise your plans along the way. – Benjamin Cohen

35391. Initially, the site was favourably reviewed in a leading new media publication and the word spread. – Benjamin Cohen

35392. Most of my time, energy and other resources I use to nurture my projects. – Benjamin Cohen

35395. The truth is that most small businesses will not succeed and you need to be emotionally prepared for this. – Benjamin Cohen

35397. The first profile piece on myself came about after my Rabbi sent information to the Jewish Chronicle on what I was up to. The story was then picked up by one of the nationals and things grew from there. – Benjamin Cohen

35408. A world in which others controlled the course of their own development, would be a world in which the American system would be seriously endangered. – Benjamin Cohen

35409. In terms of work I’ve always had a Bad Attitude in that I won’t work anywhere which requires me to work strict hours or follow a dress code. I don’t know if that’s an Asperger’s thing or not, I think it’s just being reasonable. – Bram Cohen

35410. My favorite language for maintainability is Python. It has simple, clean syntax, object encapsulation, good library support, and optional named parameters. – Bram Cohen

35411. You get so tired of having your work die. I just wanted to make something that people would actually use. – Bram Cohen

35412. With BitTorrent, the cat’s out of the bag. – Bram Cohen

35413. When I put my mind to it I can be a megalomaniac. – Bram Cohen

35415. The mark of a mature programmer is willingness to throw out code you spent time on when you realize it’s pointless. – Bram Cohen

35417. I can come off as pretty arrogant, but it’s because I know I’m right. I’m very, very good at writing protocols. I’ve accomplished more working on my own than I ever did as part of a team. – Bram Cohen

35418. I am a technological activist. I have a political agenda. I am in favor of basic human rights: to free speech, to use any information and technology, to purchase and use recreational drugs, to enjoy and purchase so-called ‘vices’, to be free of intruders, and to privacy. – Bram Cohen

35419. Give and ye shall receive. – Bram Cohen

35420. Despite my emphasis on technology, I do not view laws as inherently evil. My goals are political ones, even if my techniques are not. The only way to fundamentally succeed is by changing existing laws. If I rejected all help from the political arena I would inevitably fail. – Bram Cohen

35421. My father taught me Basic and rudimentary C, I learned everything else on my own, including studying computational complexity on my own. That’s more a function of my age than anything else though – back when I was in school there were hardly any programming classes. – Bram Cohen

35422. Are you eating it? Or is it eating you? – Larry Cohen

35423. Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. – Leonard Cohen

35424. A woman watches her body uneasily, as though it were an unreliable ally in the battle for love. – Leonard Cohen

35426. There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in. – Leonard Cohen

35427. The term clinical depression finds its way into too many conversations these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe has occurred in the psychic landscape. – Leonard Cohen

35428. The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world. – Leonard Cohen

35429. Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered. – Leonard Cohen

35430. In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress. – Leonard Cohen

35431. I don’t consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin. – Leonard Cohen

35432. I am an old scholar, better-looking now than when I was young. That’s what sitting on your ass does to your face. – Leonard Cohen

35433. Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh. – Leonard Cohen

35434. Any startling piece of work has a subversive element in it, a delicious element often. Subversion is only disagreeable when it manifests in political or social activity. – Leonard Cohen

35435. Act the way you’d like to be and soon you’ll be the way you act. – Leonard Cohen

35436. Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph; killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true. – Leonard Cohen

35437. I’ve gradually risen from lower-class background to lower-class foreground. – Marvin Cohen

35438. I got a kick out of having a big bankroll in my pocket. Even if I only made a couple hundred dollars, I’d always keep it in fives and tens so it’d look big. – Mickey Cohen

35439. I started rooting – you know, sticking up joints – with some older guys. By now I had gotten a taste of what the racket world really was – the glamour, the way they dressed, the way they always had a pocketful of money. – Mickey Cohen

35440. I didn’t kill anyone that didn’t deserve killing in the first place. – Mickey Cohen

35441. Let philosophy resolutely aim to be as scientific as possible, but let her not forget her strong kinship with literature. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35442. The picture which the philosopher draws of the world is surely not one in which every stroke is necessitated by pure logic. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35443. The method of exposition which philosophers have adopted leads many to suppose that they are simply inquiries, that they have no interest in the conclusions at which they arrive, and that their primary concern is to follow their premises to their logical conclusions. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35444. Literature and philosophy both allow past idols to be resurrected with a frequency which would be truly distressing to a sober scientist. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35445. Liberalism, on the other hand, regards life as an adventure in which we must take risks in new situations, in which there is no guarantee that the new will always be the good or the true, in which progress is a precarious achievement rather than inevitability. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35446. If religion cannot restrain evil, it cannot claim effective power for good. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35447. Liberalism regards life as an adventure in which we must take risks in new situation, in which there is no guarantee that the new will always be the good or the true, in which progress is a precarious achievement rather than inevitability. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35448. To be sure, the vast majority of people who are untrained can accept the results of science only on authority. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35449. Liberalism is an attitude rather than a set of dogmas – an attitude that insists upon questioning all plausible and self-evident propositions, seeking not to reject them but to find out what evidence there is to support them rather than their possible alternatives. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35450. This open eye for possible alternatives which need to be scrutinized before we can determine which is the best grounded is profoundly disconcerting to all conservatives and to almost all revolutionaries. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35451. Lastly, literature and philosophy both allow past idols to be resurrected with a frequency which would be truly distressing to a sober scientist. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35452. It is not impossible to think that the minds of philosophers sometimes act like those of other mortals, and that, having once been determined by diverse circumstances to adopt certain views, they then look for and naturally find reasons to justify these views. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35453. In thus pointing out certain respects in which philosophy resembles literature more than science, I do not mean, of course, to imply that it would be well for philosophy if it ceased to aim at scientific rigor. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35454. If a philosophic theory is once ruled out of court, no one can tell when it will appear again. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35455. Cruel persecutions and intolerance are not accidents, but grow out of the very essence of religion, namely, its absolute claims. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35456. Conservatism clings to what has been established, fearing that, once we begin to question the beliefs that we have inherited, all the values of life will be destroyed. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35457. Again, both literature and philosophy work by appealing to certain reigning idols. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35458. A creative element is surely present in all great systems, and it does not seem possible that all sympathy or fundamental attitudes of will can be entirely eliminated from any human philosophy. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35459. Law is a formless mass of isolated decisions. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35460. It has generally been assumed that of two opposing systems of philosophy, e.g., realism and idealism, one only can be true and one must be false; and so philosophers have been hopelessly divided on the question, which is the true one. – Morris Raphael Cohen

35461. I’m a huge Obama fan. I think it’s such an unbelievably great thing to have a President who’s competent and not insane. – Randy Cohen

35462. No two directors make the same film the same way. – Rob Cohen

35463. I wanted a woman who had the body and the power of a real pilot. I interviewed hundreds of woman, but Jessica just seemed perfect for the part. I couldn’t get her out of my head. I continued to bother her and she finally gave in. – Rob Cohen

35464. Be happy or die. – Rob Cohen

35465. I’m a competitive person and I love the challenge of mastering new things. – Sasha Cohen

35466. Skating has always been a major area of interest to me. – Sasha Cohen

35467. My family has always been there to support me along the way. My coach, John Nicks, is a great influence. – Sasha Cohen

35468. My academic schedule is lighter this year because it’s an Olympic year. – Sasha Cohen

35469. I’m used to a very busy schedule. Right now it revolves around training and preparing for Nationals in January. I’m usually at the rink from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. and then I attend public school for two hours, three times per week. – Sasha Cohen

35470. The night before I compete, I like to have steak. Meat is especially important for female athletes because it provides them with the nutrients they need to perform at their best. – Sasha Cohen

35471. I want to be the first lady to land a quadruple jump in competition. As I grow older, I know that my skating style will develop and mature. – Sasha Cohen

35472. I skate about 15 to 20 hours a week and also incorporate a lot of off-ice training. I take ballet and Pilates classes and lift weights with my physical therapist when I’m not on the ice. – Sasha Cohen

35473. I eat a variety of foods like vegetables, fruit and beef for protein and iron. – Sasha Cohen

35474. Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle. – Sasha Cohen

35475. A year ago I had a back injury and followed a good nutrition program to help speed up my recovery. I focused on exercise and staying healthy in order to get back out on the ice. – Sasha Cohen

35479. The opportunities that Gorbachev created for international relations have also been missed, perhaps even lost – here, however, primarily because of the United States. – Stephen Cohen

35480. There remains, however, the hope, at least in Russia, that, as sometimes happens in history, the memory of lost alternatives will one day inspire efforts to regain them. – Stephen Cohen

35481. The essential meaning of perestroika for Gorbachev and his supporters was creating and acting on alternatives to failed and dangerous policies at home and abroad. – Stephen Cohen

35482. The cost of acquiring new customers and maintaining those relationships in an online environment versus bricks and mortar is significant. – Stephen Cohen

35483. On March 11, 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev became leader of the Soviet Union, and within a few weeks the full-scale reformation he attempted to carry out both inside his country and in its cold war relations with the West, particularly the United States, began to unfold. – Stephen Cohen

35484. But critics of the war have no reason to regret their views. – Stephen Cohen

35485. Thirteen years after the end of the Soviet Union, the American press establishment seemed eager to turn Ukraine’s protested presidential election on November 21 into a new cold war with Russia. – Stephen Cohen

35486. For while the threat of nuclear holocaust has been significantly reduced, the world remains a very unsettled and dangerous place. – William S. Cohen

35489. I chose Sony Classics, not just because of their practical experience, not just because of their wisdom in marketing, but mainly because of their integrity. – Arthur Cohn

35490. It has nothing to do with commercial success. You cannot calculate in your head how to put the mosaic together to make a commercial film: that’s out of the question. – Arthur Cohn

35491. It is absolutely my conviction, that Walter Salles will figure among the great directors of our time. – Arthur Cohn

35492. Speak slowly, Michael. He is an honourable man. – Arthur Cohn

35510. I’m immensely grateful for the precious gift my mother has given me. She is my hero today and every day. – Steven Cojocaru

35511. The criteria, for me, is movie star. It’s Hollywood. Not Somalia. – Steven Cojocaru

35516. Thank you to all for your prayers and good wishes. It gave me the strength to persevere and warmed my heart. – Steven Cojocaru

35517. I think there is a way to be formal and elegant and classy, but more modern. Brad Pitt has been changing it, and Will Smith has been doing it in his own way. – Steven Cojocaru

35518. On the red carpet, I saw all these great stories, and I also got to see the plastic surgery up close. – Steven Cojocaru

35519. I’m being invaded by fashion pundits. – Steven Cojocaru

35520. I am a child of Hollywood and dreams. To me, to be on the red carpet is the best place in the world. – Steven Cojocaru

35521. I am going to get political on you. Because I am the most shallow person in the world, my mission is to see men’s formal wear change a little bit. It is too rigid! Everybody looks like a penguin! – Steven Cojocaru

35522. I don’t hold that everybody has to love fashion. Some people like gardening. – Steven Cojocaru

35523. I liked Nicole Kidman because she is so fashionable she can do less is more. It was very, very simple, but it was so chic. Some people thought she looked washed out, I didn’t at all. – Steven Cojocaru

35524. I used a lot of pancake makeup and a prayer, and a Buddhist chant. – Steven Cojocaru

35525. Courtney Love is a loose cannon. She says what she thinks. She’s wild on the red carpet. You get the best sound bites from Courtney Love. – Steven Cojocaru

35526. I want everybody who is watching to come to the Academy Awards with us. I’m going to pay for the bus. – Steven Cojocaru

35527. I was born with this. It’s a hereditary genetic condition. This is something you can go your whole life without really knowing that something’s wrong. I had high blood pressure, and that was the first sign. – Steven Cojocaru

35528. I was on this bridge overlooking the carpet… I think it went all the way back to Oregon. – Steven Cojocaru

35562. I don’t like books, they’re all fact, no heart. – Stephen Colbert

35563. I just think Rosa Parks was overrated. Last time I checked, she got famous for breaking the law. – Stephen Colbert

35568. Shamelessness is a wonderful part of the character. – Stephen Colbert

35569. Truthiness is tearing apart our country, and I don’t mean the argument over who came up with the word. I don’t know whether it’s a new thing, but it’s certainly a current thing, in that it doesn’t seem to matter what facts are. It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that’s not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything. – Stephen Colbert

35570. Isn’t an agnostic just an atheist without balls? – Stephen Colbert

35576. And one cannot discharge the duty of loyalty without the patient and an open minded study of the institution that marked the country and defined its character. – Bainbridge Colby

35587. Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humor? – Frank Moore Colby

35589. We always carry out by committee anything in which any one of us alone would be too reasonable to persist. – Frank Moore Colby

35593. Politics is a place of humble hopes and strangely modest requirements, where all are good who are not criminal and all are wise who are not ridiculously otherwise. – Frank Moore Colby

35594. Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest. Tolerance is composed of nine parts of apathy to one of brotherly love. – Frank Moore Colby

35596. We do not mind our not arriving anywhere nearly so much as our not having any company on the way. – Frank Moore Colby

35601. Every man ought to be inquisitive through every hour of his great adventure down to the day when he shall no longer cast a shadow in the sun. For if he dies without a question in his heart, what excuse is there for his continuance? – Frank Moore Colby

35602. Every improvement in communication makes the bore more terrible. – Frank Moore Colby

35761. I think foreign countries really do like it when American artists sing in their language. And when you go over there and say, ‘Hi, how are you?’ in their language, they love it. It makes them feel like you’re doing it just for them. We in America take so much for granted. – Natalie Cole

35767. I’m glad I made a piece of art that can be interpreted so widely. Art is always interpreted subjectively. – Paula Cole

35795. I decided during my teens that I wasn’t going to have the life of a concert pianist, much to the chagrin of a lot of people who had put a lot of money into me! – Cy Coleman

35805. To tell you the truth I am hard put to think of anyone who’s career was affected significantly by making all those phone calls and I must be wrong. I must be wrong! Because it has just got to pay off! – Dabney Coleman

35810. I did two or three plays every summer. – Dabney Coleman

35812. But it was this tough little character part that I was playing, a very funny little guy that I invented over a weekend, because I realized I was not contributing to the humor of this thing. And I had to do something. – Dabney Coleman

35813. But it is a hard, it’s a hard profession teaching acting. – Dabney Coleman

35814. But I did make some money doing commercials. I did fourteen in one year. – Dabney Coleman

35824. I don’t have any friends and don’t have any intention of making any. People will stab you in the back, mistreat you, talk about me behind your back, steal from you.

35825. I don’t hurt or want for visibility, but people seem to forget pretty easily. – Gary Coleman

35870. Also, differences of opinion can be creatively stimulating as well as frustrating. – Jim Coleman

35917. Originally, I wanted to be a composer. I always tell people, ‘I think of myself as a composer.’ – Ornette Coleman

35932. I asked my mother could I have an instrument. She said, ‘Well if you go out and save your money.’ So I went and got – I made me a shine box. I went out and started shining shoes, and I’d bring whatever I made. – Ornette Coleman

35933. I’ve been playing with Blackwell over 20 years. We used to play when I first went to Los Angeles. Blackwell plays the drums as if he’s playing a wind instrument. Actually, he sounds more like a talking drum. – Ornette Coleman

35934. I don’t know what they’re thinking about. Just because someone says, ‘I like what you do’ or something: They might like it today and tomorrow they might not. I’ve had that experience with record companies. – Ornette Coleman

35935. I had a really good time in New Orleans, although I had some very tragic times in Baton Rouge. Some guys beat me up and threw my horn away. ‘Cause I had a beard, then, and long hair like the Beatles. – Ornette Coleman

35938. I think that those elements – light and sound – are beyond democratic. They’re into the creative part of life. – Ornette Coleman

35939. I’m having this conversation with you now. I’m talking, but I’m thinking, feeling, smelling, and moving. Yet I’m concentrating on what you’re saying. So that means there’s more things going on in the body than just the present thing that the person’s got you doing. – Ornette Coleman

35940. Even when you write it, someone’s got to play it. So if you can play it and bypass all the rest of the things, you’re still doing as great as someone that has spent forty years trying to find out how to do that. I’m really pro-human beings, pro-expression of everything. – Ornette Coleman
