43322. Someone earlier made a remark about losing 500 soldiers and 2,200 wounded in Iraq. Those soldiers were sent there by the vote of Sen. Lieberman, Sen. Edwards and Sen. Kerry. I think that is a serious matter. – Howard Dean

43323. So the – the part of the problem is not just the rhetoric. It’s the fact that we – we’re so polarized in what we’ve done to each other as parties over the last thirty years in redistricting that it’s very, very hard to overcome your own constituencies and move to the middle. – Howard Dean

43369. The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results. – James Dean

43371. An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet. – James Dean

And I know I wouldn’t like it when I’m eighty. – Jimmy Dean

43384. I used to help my granddaddy make sausage. He would mix it up in a cleaned-out washtub with his hands, no gloves. Man, if we did anything like that today, they would jack the jail up and throw us under it. – Jimmy Dean

43455. In opera, there is always too much singing. – Claude Debussy

43548. A timeline for bringing U.S. troops home that is negotiated with the Iraqi government would also boost the Iraqi government’s legitimacy and claim to self-rule, and force the Iraqi government to take responsibility for itself and its citizens. – Peter DeFazio

43549. The U.S. cannot impose freedom, security, and unity in Iraq by force. – Peter DeFazio

43580. Just go up to somebody on the street and say “You’re it!” and then run away. – Ellen DeGeneres

43859. People think when you get a record deal all your problems will go away. We know that the bigger we get, the more problems we’ll have. I guess Puff Daddy was somewhat – what’s the word? – prophetic in that respect. – Brad Delson

43868. Mr. Brooks and I have been friends forever. He is in seventh heaven with his new success on Broadway. – Dom DeLuise

43869. My mother had lots and lots of children who didn’t survive. – Dom DeLuise

43880. Some guy refuses to fight and we call that the sin, but he’s standing up for what he believes in and that seems pretty damned American to me. – Iris Dement

43881. Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that’s why I ended up writing. – Iris DeMent

43882. This is how it has been since time began: If you want to make something really worthwhile and true, then you have to suffer for it. – Iris DeMent

43891. I don’t describe myself as a Christian or religious, but I like to think that how I live my life is honest. – Iris DeMent

43906. This is the heart of my argument: We can put more pressure on the antagonist for whom we show human concern. – Barbara Deming

43907. To resort to power one need not be violent, and to speak to conscience one need not be meek. The most effective action both resorts to power and engages conscience. – Barbara Deming

43908. Vengeance is not the point; change is. But the trouble is that in most people’s minds the thought of victory and the thought of punishing the enemy coincide. – Barbara Deming

43909. We believe, in fact, that the one act of respect has little force unless matched by the other – in balance with it… The acting out of that dual respect I would name as precisely the source of our power. – Barbara Deming

43917. I think the only choice that will enable us to hold to our vision… is one that abandons the concept of naming enemies and adopts a concept familiar to the nonviolent tradition: naming behavior that is oppressive. – Barbara Deming

43921. All prisons that have existed in our society to date put people away as no human being should ever be put away. – Barbara Deming

43922. The injunction that we should love our neighbors as ourselves means to us equally that we should love ourselves as we love our neighbors. – Barbara Deming

43956. Since the dawn of time, traditional marriage – the union between one man and one woman – has been the building block of civilization, and at no point in our nation’s history has that foundation been under more severe attack than now. – Jim DeMint

43957. The hope and change the Democrats had in mind was nothing more than a retread of the failed and discredited socialist policies that have been the enemy of freedom for centuries all over the world. I fear America is teetering towards tyranny. – Jim DeMint

43958. Motorists who want to save money on gas will demand and buy more fuel-efficient vehicles. We should not limit their freedom with more government regulations. – Jim DeMint

43959. If we want to secure the best jobs in the future, we must make America the best place in the world to do business. – Jim DeMint

43960. Today is a celebration of hope for the Iraqi people. The Iraqi people can now take control of their government and their future by creating a society that protects the rights endowed to us by our creator – life, liberty and freedom. – Jim DeMint

43961. We have been blessed with a healthy, growing economy, with more Americans going back to work, and with our Nation acting as a positive force for good in the world. – Jim DeMint

43966. I only work with actors who take full responsibility for their characters. – Jonathan Demme

43971. What I think happens today is that a lot of filmmakers look at other films that are retro pieces, like L.A. Confidential, and say, oh, that’s period. We didn’t want to do the stereotypical stuff. – Ted Demme

43972. The thing that’s great about those guys at Miramax is the Weinstein brothers. They are the two funniest guys I’ve ever met in my life. – Ted Demme

43973. That’s why I’m really trying to produce my own stuff. This film was so good, because I produced it myself, and developed it, and made it with New Line, which is a smaller studio, so I was in control of a lot of stuff that I wasn’t in control of for my other films. – Ted Demme

43977. I think, on a larger note, that filmmakers and studios should start to tuck it in a little bit, because films wouldn’t have the pressure they have if the word wasn’t out about how expensive they were. – Ted Demme

43978. I felt that as long as we were being honest, and that we didn’t bend the truth to accomplish another goal, to be entertaining or to be a happy ending, I was confident that we’d be able to tell the story the way it happened. – Ted Demme
