45390. The video game culture was an important thing to keep alive in the film because we’re in a new era right now. The idea that kids can play video games like Grand Theft Auto or any video game is amazing. The video games are one step before a whole other virtual universe. – Vin Diesel

45392. We all deal with being unfairly judged. – Vin Diesel

45393. What was bizarre, when I was younger, I never watched TV. I would rather watch a movie 100 times than to watch a TV show, just to find another nuance.

45394. You break her heart, I’ll break your neck. – Vin Diesel

45396. I was walking around with the babies so much that when I got to the Sidney Lumet picture, I would be on set in between takes and I’d be rocking back and forth. Just standing like this rocking back and forth, and Sidney would say, Why are you walking like that in between takes? – Vin Diesel

45398. When I first did ‘The Fast and the Furious’, I didn’t want there to be a sequel on the first one. I thought, ‘Why would you rush to do a sequel – just because your first film is successful?’ – Vin Diesel

45399. I am flattered that they think that many people would enjoy my work. I don’t approach any genre a different way than I may approach another one. I treat every role I do like a role worthy of applying whatever kind of tactic, process and talent I have. – Vin Diesel

45400. It’s hard for me to talk about Dom right now because I am Dom right now. So it’s a really strange exercise to try to reflect on something that I am at the moment.

45406. It was interesting to do a completely fictional piece. You know, Saving Private Ryan was not a fictional piece! So the challenge was: How do you incorporate real emotions? How do you incorporate aspects that people are going to be able to identify with? – Vin Diesel

45407. I’m not really afraid of the dark, except if I’m walking. The thing that scares me the most is the possibility of walking into a wall and busting my lip. – Vin Diesel

45409. If you take my performance or my understanding of the role and my appreciation for story and then dress it in CGI, that I guess becomes an action film. – Vin Diesel

45410. If you’re the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams, you’ve gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21, thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure. – Vin Diesel

45411. It would be flattering to call it a modern Dirty Harry, but I think this film deals more with the loss of his wife than the traditional revenge vigilante films. – Vin Diesel

45416. Unfortunately, it happens all too seldom that you really disappear behind a work, that you are no longer audible as an interpreter. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45419. You can’t do opera when already from the 10th row you can only see little dolls on the stage. In such an enormous space you can’t put much faith in the personal presence of the individual singer, which is reflected in facial expressions, among other things. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45421. Many, many composers have only found their way to a certain form, through familiarizing themselves with texts. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45424. Brahms believed that there was no need to publish absolutely everything that Schubert ever wrote. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45426. All music has to speak in some form or other. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45427. It’s not all that different with the orchestra. There are orchestras that seem to be encased in dough, so that first you have to break through the normal routine, and clear out the openings. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45428. Anyone who draws attention to himself as an individual, is viewed with suspicion. We acquired this tendency, of course, from America, and we must resist it: levelling, and imitation of what others are already doing. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45429. Admittedly, it is really our duty, as artists, to hold up a mirror to our own era; but, on the other hand, these works have lives of their own, and they’re still alive today. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45430. But the thing that will always occupy me the most is music. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45431. But, on the other hand, if Schubert were alive today, he would find even richer fields to plow. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45432. I came together with younger musicians and tried to pass on my own experiences. In the process, I always tried to maintain my curiosity and spontaneity. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45433. If you only do little clusters – three or four songs by one, and another, and then yet another – you lose the opportunity to think your way into the composer’s mind, since, after all, most of these pieces are quite brief. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45434. In fact, the element of play has an important role in my life, and I think that should be the case in the life of every artist. Our life is occupied with playing, whether we play an instrument or a role. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45435. In Romanticism, the main determinant is the mood, the atmosphere. And in that regard, you could also describe Schubert as a Romantic. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45436. It is desirable that people make music on the breath, with the breath. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45437. And what unity is to be had, at a time when orchestras are dying out, and when opera houses are about to close their doors; what’s going to come next – when nothing new in music, for the orchestra, is truly lasting: pieces are performed once, and then they’re thrown away. – Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

45438. Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him. – Marlene Dietrich

45488. Maybe you don’t like your job, maybe you didn’t get enough sleep, well nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep. Maybe you just had the worst day of your life, but you know, there’s no escape, there’s no excuse, so just suck up and be nice. – Ani DiFranco

45489. Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right. – Ani DiFranco

45537. The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim. – Edsger Dijkstra

45538. The ability of discerning high quality unavoidably implies the ability of identifying shortcomings. – Edsger Dijkstra

45539. About the use of language: it is impossible to sharpen a pencil with a blunt axe. It is equally vain to try to do it with ten blunt axes instead. – Edsger Dijkstra

45562. There are some guys out here that can really play golf, but it has not been their focus for that long. – Trent Dilfer

45563. So I went way too in depth? I thought they wanted the hole by hole. – Trent Dilfer

45564. I was in the back part of the bunker, so I had to carry the whole bunker. It was probably 20 yards. – Trent Dilfer

45565. I had very low expectations. Honestly, I think I had 11 rounds of golf the entire year in before this tournament, and I had hit balls maybe four or five times. – Trent Dilfer

45575. The surest sign of age is loneliness. – Annie Dillard

45576. People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subject inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all. – Annie Dillard

45577. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time. – Annie Dillard

45588. I woke in bits, like all children, piecemeal over the years. I discovered myself and the world, and forgot them, and discovered them again. – Annie Dillard

45589. As a life’s work, I would remember everything – everything, against loss. I would go through life like a plankton net. – Annie Dillard

45593. We want to be able to sell you anything, anywhere, any time you want it. – Barry Diller

45649. We have to make philosophy itself an object of philosophical concern. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45650. To attempt this would be like seeing without eyes or directing the gaze of knowledge behind one’s own eye. Modern science can acknowledge no other than this epistemological stand-point. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45651. Thus, in accordance with the spirit of the Historical School, knowledge of the principles of the human world falls within that world itself, and the human sciences form an independent system. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45652. Thus there arose in me both a need and a plan for the foundation of the human sciences. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45653. The sciences which take socio-historical reality as their subject matter are seeking, more intensively than ever before, their systematic relations to one another and to their foundation. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45658. No real blood flows in the veins of the knowing subject constructed by Locke, Hume, and Kant, but rather the diluted extract of reason as a mere activity of thought. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45659. In the real life-process, willing, feeling, and thinking are only different aspects. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45660. If we conceive all the changes in the physical world as reducible to the motion of atoms, motions generated by means of the fixed nuclear forces of those atoms, the whole of the world could thus be known by means of the natural sciences. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45661. If there were a science of human beings it would be anthropology that aims at understanding the totality of experience through structural context. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45662. However, the sciences of society and of history retained their old subservient relation to metaphysics for a long time – well into the eighteenth century. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45663. All science is experiential; but all experience must be related back to and derives its its validity from the conditions and context of consciousness in which it arises, i.e., the totality of our nature. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45664. Ancient metaphysics underwent many changes at the hands of medieval thinkers who brought it in line with the dominant religious and theological movements of their day. – Wilhelm Dilthey

45676. A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That’s why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues. – Joe DiMaggio

45677. Now I’ve had everything except for the thrill of watching Babe Ruth play. – Joe DiMaggio

45678. You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to ‘Run forward, bend, scoop up the ball, peg it to the infield,’ then your body says, ‘Who me?’ – Joe DiMaggio

45679. The phrase ‘off with the crack of the bat’, while romantic, is really meaningless, since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat. – Joe DiMaggio

45680. There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best. – Joe DiMaggio

45681. Too many kids today are playing major league ball and don’t belong there. – Joe DiMaggio

45682. We need a hit, so here I go. – Joe DiMaggio

45683. When baseball is no longer fun, it’s no longer a game. – Joe DiMaggio

45684. You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you’re a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen. – Joe DiMaggio

45685. If anyone wants to know why three kids in one family made it to the big leagues they just had to know how we helped each other and how much we practiced back then. We did it every minute we could. – Joe DiMaggio

45686. And there’s the Victoria Memorial, built as a memorial to Victoria. – David Dimbleby

45687. We’re allowed to have had a private life before politics in which we make mistakes and do things we should not. – David Dimbleby

45689. I had no expectation that the Prince would offer me the unprecedented and unfettered access to the original and entirely untapped sources on which this biography is based. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45690. I honestly believe that TV generally is obsessed with the ratings battle to the point of cutting its own throat. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45691. I ought to rejoice in the fact that our principal rival has died, but I don’t. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45692. I was disappointed not to be able to interview Mr. Clinton. I met him two years ago. I was looking forward to talking with him about issues from Africa to terrorism. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45693. I’m not certain that the BBC can claim to be making a wide enough range of distinctive programmes to make the case convincingly. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45694. It’s absolutely fine to think of new ways of doing things, and I’m not just asking for the traditional reporter to look into our living rooms night after night. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45695. I deplore the loss of arts on BBC One and Two. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45696. That test should not be about ratings. What should weigh is the knowledge that a public broadcaster delivers programmes that matter. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45697. Not every programme dealing with issues of global significance has to be fronted by last week’s winner of Have I Got News For You-but I suppose you might be wrong. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45698. The BBC has the obligation to think big. And at the moment, that clarion call sounds an uncertain note to me. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45699. The BBC produces wonderful programmes; it also produces a load of old rubbish. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45700. The challenge is the culture. You have to have a vision for the BBC-it can’t merely be that it’s big and has a place in the market. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45701. The long, forensic interview really matters. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45702. The moment seemed right to me for a full and, if possible, authoritative portrait of the life and character of the Prince of Wales. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45704. You have to be damn certain you’re putting something better in its place. – Jonathan Dimbleby

45711. Education is the methodical creation of the habit of thinking. – Ernest Dimnet

45712. Ideas are the root of creation. – Ernest Dimnet

45713. A book, like a landscape, is a state of consciousness varying with readers. – Ernest Dimnet

45714. Most people suspend their judgment till somebody else has expressed his own and then they repeat it. – Ernest Dimnet

45715. The happiness of most people is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things. – Ernest Dimnet

45716. The history of the past interests us only in so far as it illuminates the history of the present. – Ernest Dimnet

45717. Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul. – Ernest Dimnet

45718. I do not think that obsession is funny or that not being able to stop one’s intensity is funny. – Jim Dine

45719. I have come to terms with a lot of things, because, when all’s said and done, there’s really very little one can do about a lot of things. You just accept them. The point is you just have to keep on working and you just have to keep on living. – Jim Dine

45720. I’ve never had an easy relationship with critics. I hold a lot of homicide in my heart. If this was another time, I’d be packing a piece. – Jim Dine

45721. My attitude towards drawing is not necessarily about drawing. It’s about making the best kind of image I can make, it’s about talking as clearly as I can. – Jim Dine

45722. The figure is still the only thing I have faith in in terms of how much emotion it’s charged with and how much subject matter is there. – Jim Dine

45723. Western art is built on the biographical passion of one artist for another. – Jim Dine

45724. I think it will be truly glorious when women become real people and have the whole world open to them. – Isak Dinesen

45726. A great artist is never poor. – Isak Dinesen

45727. When you have a great and difficult task, something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work a little at a time, every day a little, suddenly the work will finish itself. – Isak Dinesen

45728. Who tells a finer tale than any of us. Silence does. – Isak Dinesen

45729. I don’t believe in evil, I believe only in horror. In nature there is no evil, only an abundance of horror: the plagues and the blights and the ants and the maggots. – Isak Dinesen

45730. All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them. – Isak Dinesen

45731. Love, with very young people, is a heartless business. We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk; it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the individuality of our wine. – Isak Dinesen

45732. Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever. – Isak Dinesen

45733. God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road. – Isak Dinesen

45734. This is the worst administration since Caligula. – John Dingell

45735. This is one of the major problems we have. By the way, it was endorsed by leadership on both sides of the aisle and both ends of the Capitol, by the NRA and also by the gun control groups. – John Dingell

45736. The mistake that was made was, of course, leaving Saddam in charge of affairs over there. – John Dingell

45739. Mr. Dingell is just plain Mr. Dingell. And when he gets to be chairman of the Commerce Committee, he doesn’t let it go to his head. However, he thinks he would be a very, very good chairman. – John Dingell

45740. War is failure of diplomacy. – John Dingell

45741. If the president is failing to disclose material facts with regard to legislation being presented to the Congress on a question as important as war and peace, I think it does impair the level of trust that the House and the Senate have for this administration. – John Dingell

45742. I’m very close to suggesting that Mr. Pitt has now served as long as he can usefully do so. He seems to take his foot out of his mouth only for purposes of changing feet. – John Dingell

45743. The Congress has now become a fairly evenly divided entity. – John Dingell

45744. I’ll look and pick the best, and the one who can do the best job for the party. – John Dingell

45745. Nobody in this country realizes that cap-and-trade is a tax – and it’s a great big one. – John Dingell

45746. The Democratic Party needs to look carefully at moving towards the middle, where the American people are. – John Dingell

45748. I still think it would be a great mistake to go into a war without support of our friends and allies. – John Dingell

45749. The Democratic Party is a house of many mansions. It is a body which is extremely important in representing all kinds of people in all parts of the country who have very broad and very different views. – John Dingell

45750. Living wild species are like a library of books still unread. Our heedless destruction of them is akin to burning the library without ever having read its books. – John Dingell

45751. I have worked with Presidents since Eisenhower. We serve together. – John Dingell

45752. I can support going in after Saddam Hussein, but I want to make sure I don’t go alone. – John Dingell

45753. I’m Polish, I carry no grudges. – John Dingell

45754. I think we will begin to see some real efforts made to do things like protecting Social Security and Medicare. – John Dingell

45755. If we’re going to change the laws, let’s change them in ways which makes it easier to catch criminals, and yet at the same time protect the Second Amendment rights of our law-abiding citizens. – John Dingell

45756. If we’re going to spend a lot of money to deal with the problem of 200 million guns in the country owned by 65 million gun owners, we ought to have a system which will work and catch criminals. – John Dingell

45757. If you talk to any of my Democratic colleagues who lost that year, they would tell that gun control was one of the major contributory factors in the loss of their seats. – John Dingell

45758. I have enormous respect for Tom Daschle. The NRA has not yet taken a formal position on which I’m aware of on this matter, and I think Tom may be just getting a little ahead of things. – John Dingell

45759. Well, I’m not sure, but of one thing I am certain: History judges one differently than contemporary observers, and so I think that as time passes, I hope that not me personally so much, but our administration will be seen for some of the things that we accomplished. – David Dinkins

45760. The art and culture that is New York, communications, finance, all these things help make up New York. The rest of the country should be happy that we are what we are. – David Dinkins

45761. This is about these particular candidates in this particular year. That’s what motivates me. – David Dinkins

45762. Some of us claim that New York City is the capital of the country, indeed the capital of the world. Now, that may be a bit much for those who don’t come from New York, but clearly we are an important city for reasons of our cultural advantages. – David Dinkins

45763. The people really are what make New York City great. – David Dinkins

45764. There is no point in me worrying about what Bloomberg or Badillo will do. – David Dinkins

45765. Today, certain people file for bankruptcy, businesses and individuals, and it no longer has the stigma it once had. Now it’s almost considered wise, a way to regroup and come back again. – David Dinkins

45766. We borrowed money, it helped us with bonds and what not, and the Federal Government backed it, but it was a guarantee, it was not a grant. And we not only paid it off, but we paid it off ahead of time. – David Dinkins

45767. We have not always agreed, but I have said repeatedly and publicly many times that Al Sharpton has never counseled violence, but he gets blamed for a whole lot of that. – David Dinkins

45768. Well, I was about six or seven, and my mother and father separated. – David Dinkins

45769. So it’s a mistake for someone to think that they bailed New York out. They did assist us, for which we are grateful, but it’s a mistake to say we bailed New York out by giving them a grant of money to help those poor people who throw it away on welfare. – David Dinkins

45770. I love children, and most of my involvement now has to do with children or youth programs. – David Dinkins

45771. You can’t twist Al Sharpton’s arm. – David Dinkins

45772. Well, I think I am a very, very lucky person. I’m very fortunate. – David Dinkins

45773. But I make the observation that no one of us would do things exactly alike. – David Dinkins

45774. I went to Israel when the missiles were falling there. – David Dinkins

45775. My mother came here to New York. She and my grandmother were domestics, cooking, cleaning for other people. – David Dinkins

45776. And I tell people I’m in charge of children, children I haven’t even met yet. – David Dinkins

45777. As a matter of fact, even when I finished law school, I had no notion of public service then. – David Dinkins

45778. But the courts have dismissed the lawsuits against me and Lee Brown. – David Dinkins

45779. Children are amazing, and while I go to places like Princeton and Harvard and Yale, and of course I teach at Columbia, NYU, and that’s nice and I love students, but the most fun of all are the real little ones, the young ones. – David Dinkins

45780. I finished law school in ’56, but I was working two jobs. – David Dinkins

45781. I haven’t committed a crime. What I did was fail to comply with the law. – David Dinkins

45782. I went downtown as a lawyer and then I worked in a liquor store at night, as I had done all through law school. And so when I got to the point where I could give up the night job, I joined the political club. – David Dinkins

45783. I’m confident that, were I mayor, I would do some things differently than he has. But I think there’s a world of difference between him and his immediate predecessor. – David Dinkins

45784. In 1975 I was among a group of blacks who formed the Black Americans in Support of Israel Committee. – David Dinkins

45785. And, as a matter of fact, I am the chairman of the Amadou Diallo Foundation. – David Dinkins

45786. The child benefits more from being valued than evaluated. – Don Dinkmeyer

45787. Lyrically I like to use themes that make the listener use his or her imagination, and to give a little of the lessons I’ve learned in my own life. – Ronnie James Dio

45788. Saddam’s fate should be in the hands of his country men. They were the major victims of his brutal reign and should decide his life, death, or permanent imprisonment. Personally, I would lock him away forever. – Ronnie James Dio

45789. The music industry’s actions at the time of 9/11 and since have been actions driven by patriotism in most instances, and greed and stupidity to a lesser degree. Sounds like real life doesn’t it? – Ronnie James Dio

45790. The best subjects are always people, who never fail to amaze me by their unpredictability. – Ronnie James Dio

45791. I always wanted to be a basketball player. – Ronnie James Dio

45792. Music, Rock and Roll music especially, is such a generational thing. Each generation must have their own music, I had my own in my generation, you have yours, everyone I know has their own generation. – Ronnie James Dio

45793. I’ve never taken vocal lessons. My early trumpet training and a fortunate talent for singing has always been enough for me. In the case of rock singing, I’ve always felt it was better to remain a bit untrained to maintain your individuality. – Ronnie James Dio

45794. My childhood was safe and sane. No abuse and no traumas. I was surrounded by a large and loving family who taught me the importance of hard work and a meaningful education. – Ronnie James Dio

45803. What I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others. – Diogenes

45804. When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings; when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man. – Diogenes

45805. Wise kings generally have wise counselors; and he must be a wise man himself who is capable of distinguishing one. – Diogenes

45806. The sun too penetrates into privies, but is not polluted by them. – Diogenes

45807. Those who have virtue always in their mouths, and neglect it in practice, are like a harp, which emits a sound pleasing to others, while itself is insensible of the music. – Diogenes

45808. Dogs and philosophers do the greatest good and get the fewest rewards. – Diogenes

45816. I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be. – Diogenes

45823. Since I was a little child, my nose – I think it’s too big. – Celine Dion

45833. I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business. – Celine Dion

45837. I don’t listen to my own music at home. – Celine Dion

45838. I gave life, and that is beautiful. – Celine Dion

45842. I looked in the audience. There were no strangers. Everybody was singing and cheering and hugging. That was a beautiful picture to look at. – Celine Dion

45843. I’ll tell something, a lot of times I’d listen to Charlie and some of the interviews he had and he said, ‘Well, yeah, I was a garbage goal collector.’ But he knew the timing. I knew where he was. – Marcel Dionne

45844. The thing is, playing with us, whoever was the left winger had to come to play every night because that’s the way it was. Charlie came in and he just fit that role – big and strong around the net. – Marcel Dionne

45845. Until Charlie broke his ankle in Toronto, we were as good a unit as anybody. – Marcel Dionne

45846. To be on the same team with Orr was great because when I turned pro, nobody had more charisma. – Marcel Dionne

45847. They have had three years to get a resolution and they failed. Both of these guys have failed. – Marcel Dionne

45848. There was tremendous emotion. Every shift was so emotional. – Marcel Dionne

45849. We suffered a setback and there were too many trades until Dave Taylor came along and Charlie Simmer. – Marcel Dionne

45850. The only thing is we didn’t have the supporting cast. – Marcel Dionne

45851. People ask if I regret not winning a Stanley Cup, but winning the series against the Soviet Union was the best. It was the greatest experience of my hockey career by far. – Marcel Dionne

45852. Now you watch reality TV, you watch them in all those pools or Jacuzzis and I say to myself was I that stupid? But that was me then. – Marcel Dionne

45853. I’ve done the same thing in the world of business that winners do in the game. I watch them, admire them. – Marcel Dionne

45854. I watched Gretzky, I watched Lemieux. Maybe it’s the time when you’re playing, but for a kid coming into the league, you play the Boston Bruins and you just watched Bobby Orr. – Marcel Dionne

45855. Being around all the great names of the game at a young age because they were my heroes; the fact this meant so much to Canada. It was just an incredible thing to be a part of. – Marcel Dionne

45865. The fundamental laws necessary for the mathematical treatment of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty lies only in the fact that application of these laws leads to equations that are too complex to be solved. – Paul Dirac

45866. It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one’s equations, and if one has really a sound insight, one is on a sure line of progress. – Paul Dirac

45867. In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it’s the exact opposite. – Paul Dirac

45868. I should like to suggest to you that the cause of all the economic troubles is that we have an economic system which tries to maintain an equality of value between two things, which it would be better to recognise from the beginning as of unequal value. – Paul Dirac

45869. I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition. – Paul Dirac
