49208. I’m working seven days a week in the fall. I couldn’t possibly keep that up. This is only for the fall. In the last couple of years I’ve tended to do most of my serious writing in the winter, when there’s nothing going on with football. – Gregg Easterbrook

49209. Inevitably, these sorts of things are going to come back to blow up in people’s faces. – Gregg Easterbrook

49211. It was Orwellian. I completely disappeared, and disappeared the same day. It was by early that evening when the Times story ran. That was an overreaction. All human beings under pressure behave poorly. – Gregg Easterbrook

49212. Jewish persecution is a historical memory of the present generation and people fear it in the present day, and that’s why those references are so much more powerful. I just understand that better now. – Gregg Easterbrook

49213. Now, for pure bloggers, for individual people who are just posting their own thoughts, they would still run the same risk of saying something wrong or embarrassing, but they wouldn’t harm their institutions by doing so. – Gregg Easterbrook

49216. You know, some of the good part of blog theory was that blogs would be like diaries that the world could read. They would be spontaneous, whatever pops into your mind, as a diary would be. – Gregg Easterbrook

49217. For what I wrote that started this whole controversy, I deserved to be criticized, and I felt bad about writing it. I felt bad mainly as a writer and a thinker. – Gregg Easterbrook

49218. Torture numbers, and they’ll confess to anything. – Gregg Easterbrook

49219. I think the thing that I most appreciate now is that stereotypes involving Jewish identity activate fears of persecution that exist in the present day. – Gregg Easterbrook

49220. I think that might have been an element in it, and people have asked me that very thing. Remember, Disney is the majority shareholder, but it is not an operating division of Disney. – Gregg Easterbrook

49221. I think professional sports, football, to use it as an example, it’s fundamentally a form of entertainment. – Gregg Easterbrook

49222. I don’t think there are many larger lessons to be found in sports. – Gregg Easterbrook

49223. I didn’t view myself as attacking the boss. I viewed my boss at ESPN as the publisher and president of ESPN. – Gregg Easterbrook

49224. Heroic people take risks to themselves to help others. There’s nothing heroic about accepting $5 million to go out and run around chasing a ball, although you may show fortitude or those other qualities while you do it. – Gregg Easterbrook

49225. Everyone needs a certain amount of money. Beyond that, we pursue money because we know how to obtain it. We don’t necessarily know how to obtain happiness. – Gregg Easterbrook

49226. Even though Rush is not me and the situations were very different, I think, in the Rush Limbaugh thing, ESPN was criticized for not acting, and you remember that after a couple days of controversy over Rush. – Gregg Easterbrook

49227. But if you could make that mistake and press the send button and the entire world sees it forever. – Gregg Easterbrook

49228. But by showing us live coverage of every bad thing happening everywhere in the world, cable news makes life seem like it’s just an endless string of disasters – when, for most people in most places today, life is fairly good. – Gregg Easterbrook

49229. And if there was something, suppose I wanted to write something really damning or embarrassing about one of the owners, that would really be a problem on the NFL’s site. – Gregg Easterbrook

49230. I behaved poorly by starting this whole thing and I made some mistakes in dealing with it, and they made some mistakes in dealing with me, and taking down all my stuff was probably one of them. – Gregg Easterbrook

49231. And then ESPN fired me. I did not think that was a fitting punishment. – Gregg Easterbrook

49232. I did a film once that I was killed in. It was a painful, horrifying day. It was a wonderful day from the standpoint of acting, but I was a wreck otherwise. – Leslie Easterbrook

49234. I wish I had a funny story. – Leslie Easterbrook

49240. Nearness to nature… keeps the spirit sensitive to impressions not commonly felt and in touch with the unseen powers. – Charles Alexander Eastman

49277. You push the button, we do the rest. – George Eastman

49360. However, yes, especially as one gets older, you know, you really hope that your music will become more generally available, even though some of the performances might be riddled with faults. – John Eaton

49361. I’ve just simply used what I’ve used because of the great, great expressive potential of it. – John Eaton

49362. But nevertheless, it’s music ultimately that matters in opera, and opera is a piece of music reaching out as a vision in sound reaching out to the world. – John Eaton

49363. In other words, I think that if an audience listens to something as an experience of how in tune it is or something of that kind, that the whole point is somehow being missed, and the music has failed. – John Eaton

49364. I really write for people. – John Eaton

49376. The idea of cultural relativism is nothing but an excuse to violate human rights. – Shirin Ebadi

49379. When we criticize in Iran the actions of the government, the fundamentalists say that we and the Bush Administration are in the same camp. The funny thing is that human rights activists and Mr. Bush can never be situated in the same group. – Shirin Ebadi

49380. Democracy doesn’t recognize east or west; democracy is simply people’s will. Therefore, I do not acknowledge that there are various models of democracy; there is just democracy itself. – Shirin Ebadi

49381. My aim is to show that those governments that violate the rights of people by invoking the name of Islam have been misusing Islam. – Shirin Ebadi

49382. The condition of women in Islamic societies as a whole is also far from desirable. However, we should acknowledge that there are differences. In certain countries, the conditions are much better and in others much worse. – Shirin Ebadi

49383. How can you defy fear? Fear is a human instinct, just like hunger. Whether you like it or not, you become hungry. Similarly with fear. But I have learned to train myself to live with this fear. – Shirin Ebadi

49384. Human rights is a universal standard. It is a component of every religion and every civilization. – Shirin Ebadi

49385. I hope the example of Saddam Hussein will give a lesson to leaders of other countries where human rights are not respected. – Shirin Ebadi

49386. I maintain that nothing useful and lasting can emerge from violence. – Shirin Ebadi

49387. Lawyers have a dangerous job in Iran. – Shirin Ebadi

49388. Lawyers should not be charged with the same crimes as their clients. Trials related to political charges are not in accordance with human rights. – Shirin Ebadi

49401. A consensus means that everyone agrees to say collectively what no one believes individually. – Abba Eban

49402. You can’t achieve anything without getting in someone’s way. – Abba Eban

49403. I think that this is the first war in history that on the morrow the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender. – Abba Eban

49574. There was expectations that the fights there, the operation there might be extended for several months, even for several years. But within a few weeks it ended, because obviously the Taliban wasn’t a real force. – Bulent Ecevit

49597. I also think that I had great mechanics. – Dennis Eckersley

49598. But through experience I learned to control my body and locate the ball. – Dennis Eckersley

49599. But more important than personal awards is winning the World Series. That’s the max that anyone could ask for. Let alone to have the ball in your in your glove for the final out of the World Series. That was the ultimate. – Dennis Eckersley

49600. I had never been to the playoffs, and it was exciting. The fans went through the roof. They were excited about the whole team. It was great to be traded to a city like Chicago, which was a lot like Boston. – Dennis Eckersley
