61311. Paul’s the writer. Yeah, I wrote a little of that stuff, but that’s just technically true. In spirit, and in essence of the truth, it doesn’t matter. So I don’t know, maybe I’m being foolish for not being technical. Yeah, I wrote a certain portion of the things. – Art Garfunkel
61312. Records became much cruder in the last 20 years. Let’s put it that way. – Art Garfunkel

61376. I like the opportunity to travel the world and work in close company with other people. – Marc Garneau
61377. I like adventure. – Marc Garneau

61396. I like poking my nose into other people’s lives. – Helen Garner
61397. But I now think what I was doing, in a completely unconscious way, was getting off the turf where my husband and I might be rivals. We were both working in fiction… so I look back and I see that I consciously vacated the contested ground. – Helen Garner
61398. Writers seem to me to be people who need to retire from social life and do a lot of thinking about what’s happened – almost to calm themselves. – Helen Garner

61400. At the time it seemed like a natural development of my interest in what was going on around me in society. – Helen Garner
61401. Everybody wants blockbusters. I like to see a few pictures now and then that have to do with people and have relationships, and that’s what I want to do films about. I don’t want to see these sci-fi movies, and I don’t want to do one of those. I don’t understand it. – James Garner

61413. I don’t have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does – and I’m much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be. – Jennifer Garner
61414. I love being physical and acting at the same time. – Jennifer Garner
61415. I think that it’s not as crazily different, my job, from anyone else’s, as people let themselves believe. I think people get wrapped up in their own idea of what it is, but it’s really not that. – Jennifer Garner
61416. I was a ballet dancer and that kind of bled into musical theater. I was constantly in rehearsal for one thing or another. – Jennifer Garner

61421. The beautiful thing about when you go through a slide is that you learn from it. Not just saying that you learn from it, but applying the things that you have learned. – Kevin Garnett
61422. So you’re dealing with a coach, and you’re dealing with a guy who’s actually experienced NBA basketball from a player’s perspective and actually goes about it that way. – Kevin Garnett
61423. So we take a lot of pride in that. It’s really on us to turn this thing around. I think this last month we’ve done just that. We’ve pointed ourself in the direction that we want to be, and I think we’re starting to head towards that. Right now we’re in a nice rhythm. – Kevin Garnett
61424. Kev has these old Boston drills, where you all have to talk to each other, and interact, and it’s helped us. – Kevin Garnett
61425. We have to do the impossible, but it is possible. – Kevin Garnett
61426. I’m from the bottom, I understand what it’s like to have and to not have. My perception on giving is to put yourself in those people’s shoes and go from there. So that’s what I did. – Kevin Garnett
61427. We know that in order for us to turn this around, it doesn’t matter how many coaches they bring in here, assistants, weight trainers, whoever, we’re the ones that are going to have turn it around. And I think just took that responsibility on ourselves. – Kevin Garnett
61428. Going from Flip to Kev, obviously you don’t want to see someone ever lose their job. For me it’s probably a little more difficult, because other than Bill Blair, Flip is all I knew. – Kevin Garnett

61431. Let’s be very honest about what this is about. It’s not about bashing Democrats, it’s not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston tea party was about, they don’t know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up. – Janeane Garofalo
61432. I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth. – Janeane Garofalo
61433. I say at this point, for different reasons, Bush and Hussein are both very threatening to world peace and to deny that is to be incredibly naive. – Janeane Garofalo

61444. I have a disease, but I also have a lot of other things. – Teri Garr

61446. You can be diagnosed and treated early. And there is hope for the future. – Teri Garr

61455. I have been off the motorcycles for about 20 years now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still do it. – Teri Garr
61456. I plan to live to be 120! – Teri Garr
61457. If you get a diagnosis, get on a therapy, keep a good attitude and keep your sense of humor. – Teri Garr
61458. I’ve always been this insane. Isn’t that interesting? – Teri Garr

61461. I think there are a lot of myths about MS, and it may have affected my career. – Teri Garr
61462. I think eventually they’re going to find out that MS is like 10 different things. I have a neurological disease something like MS, and it’s MS, so let’s take medicine for it. – Teri Garr
61463. I take one of the interferon therapies, Rebif. – Teri Garr
61464. I refused David Letterman’s proposal of marriage for obvious reasons, but thanks for asking. – Teri Garr

61485. It’s fun to play people who are flawed. – Brad Garrett
61486. We don’t take care of our teachers and our cops and our firemen. They should be at the top of our list. – Brad Garrett
61487. I think we love watching people that are flawed because we’re all flawed. – Brad Garrett
61488. There’s a black man inside of me just trying to make bail. – Brad Garrett
61489. This is the problem for which revolutionary theory has yet to find the right solution, if there is one. The difficulty is that the economic interests of the two classes are antagonistic. – Garet Garrett
61490. The spectacle of a great, solvent government paying a fictitious price for gold it did not want and did not need and doing it on purpose to debase the value of its own paper currency was one to astonish the world. – Garet Garrett
61491. The winds that blow our billions away return burdened with themes of scorn and dispraise. – Garet Garrett
61492. There was endless controversy as to whether the acts of the New Deal did actually move recovery or retard it, and nothing final could ever come of that bitter debate because it is forever impossible to prove what might have happened in place of what did. – Garet Garrett
61493. Revolution in the modern case is no longer an uncouth business. – Garet Garrett

61508. But despite the universality of URLs, we often forget that they’re not just a handy way to address network resources. They’re also valuable communication tools. – Jesse James Garrett

61515. The more everybody knows about all aspects of the problems we face, the better off all of us will be. Less time spent explaining things means more time for coming up with creative solutions. – Jesse James Garrett
61516. Ajax is an important development for Web applications, and its importance is only going to grow. – Jesse James Garrett
61517. If you need to take a step back from day-to-day operations and plot out the long-term direction of your user experience strategy, consultants can give you a perspective you can’t get on your own. – Jesse James Garrett

61522. Besides, Weebles are too hard to draw – they just end up looking like eggs, not people. – Jesse James Garrett
61523. Ajax isn’t a technology. It’s really several technologies, each flourishing in its own right, coming together in powerful new ways. – Jesse James Garrett
61524. Well, the whole story is in the book, but the short answer is that I was the first information architect in an organization that was traditionally design-oriented, and I felt I needed a tool to help me gain the trust and support of my colleagues. – Jesse James Garrett
61525. A journalist and an information architect face exactly the same problem – how to give shape to the pile of information in front of you in a way that will make it easy and natural for people to comprehend. I can’t imagine any better preparation for the work I do now. – Jesse James Garrett

61538. I’m not a slave to anything anymore. And I never will be again. – Leif Garrett
61539. I have no problem with starting from scratch. – Leif Garrett
61540. I have no problem paying my dues and I have no problem going out and working the club circuit. – Leif Garrett
61541. I have an extremely addictive personality. I’m an extremist. – Leif Garrett

61548. There are a lot of unseen elements to having a successful singing career. – Lesley Garrett
61549. I’m very pro presenting the best music I can to the widest audience possible. – Lesley Garrett
61550. I would just like to say that opera is no longer about fat people in breastplates shattering wine glasses. – Lesley Garrett
61551. I saw The Sound of Music when I was 10 and thought that it was the most beautiful singing I had ever heard. – Lesley Garrett
61552. I performed in Sydney some years ago for the Sydney Festival and I am just so pleased to be returning to the wonderful Sydney Opera House and also performing in Melbourne for the first time. – Lesley Garrett
61553. I don’t think I have ever met a single person who isn’t moved by music of some kind. – Lesley Garrett

61556. I do a lot of vocal hygiene. – Lesley Garrett
61557. As far as I was concerned the important thing was that the music was getting the attention as well as me so it was always a great way to get more of the public to connect with classical music, and opera particularly. – Lesley Garrett
61558. And woven into the fabric of this harsh existence was music. – Lesley Garrett
61559. What people really should be able to be confident in is that the standards of music- making that classically trained musicians present is elite, it is the best and all of us as artists should be committed to that. – Lesley Garrett
61560. I’m engaging my diaphragm as I’m speaking to you right now. – Lesley Garrett
61561. To tell you the truth, I never listen to opera at home. – Lesley Garrett
61562. It worries me that young singers think you can shortcut the training and go straight to fame and fortune, and programmes like Pop Idol have encouraged that. – Lesley Garrett
61563. Music is there to access those dark emotional corners that we don’t normally get too close to. – Lesley Garrett
61564. Nobody inspired me more than Julie Andrews, who is a classically trained soprano herself. – Lesley Garrett

61567. Singing is an arduous business and it needs sacrifices. – Lesley Garrett

61570. I wouldn’t want to criticise someone like Charlotte Church because she has done fantastically well, but personally I’ve always cared about the long term. – Lesley Garrett
61571. However, the radio and national media depend much more on the hype from a good record label, and from a ” buzz ” about a band, then from just one or two good shows. There are a lot of artists that have a ton of good press going for them, and still do not make it big in the US. – Pat Garrett
61572. I have been firming up and making changes in my roster for 2001. This needs to be done from now and then, to make sure what you are booking is working, and to keep a balance in your roster that works. – Pat Garrett
61573. If we get a few solid festival shows then I will have no problem booking the lads for as many quality club shows around them to make a nice tour come together. – Pat Garrett

61577. I haven’t chosen to make an issue of faith. – Peter Garrett
61578. I guess for me what is more significant than success is the nature of each of the songs and of the words. – Peter Garrett
61579. As far as performance, the roar of the crowd, the smell of the greasepaint no I don’t feel that. – Peter Garrett
61580. You don’t want to spend your life explaining yourself. – Peter Garrett
61581. What generally happens in this county is that our politicians don’t serve us well because they don’t tell the truth, and they don’t keep their promises. – Peter Garrett
61582. There was never going to be a right time for a band that was still recording and had health in its environment, had made a very good record and was playing well. – Peter Garrett
61583. There are a range of associated impacts related to increasing temperatures which affect both evaporation rates and river systems, which are already over stressed, and these will hit farming communities and the health of crop lands. – Peter Garrett

61585. Once you start to look into the guts of climate change you find that just about every scientific institution in the world is conducting research on the issue. – Peter Garrett

61588. Climate change is also clearly a matter of huge interest and concern for the scientific community. – Peter Garrett
61589. Climate change is such a huge issue that it requires strong, concerted, consistent and enduring action by governments. – Peter Garrett
61590. I believe that the quantum of our knowledge will increase considerably in the coming years and that scientists will continue to be amongst the brave voices speaking out. – Peter Garrett
61591. It’s absolutely not acceptable for people to argue that, if we are going to do anything about climate change at all, well, the responsibility lies solely with the individual. – Peter Garrett
61592. The place where the system and people’s intentions meet is the political arena. – Peter Garrett
61593. I don’t blame my own parents for the way I grew up, as quite often there is little choice in these issues. – Peter Garrett
61594. The forces that are in play on climate change essentially revolve around the generation of power, the transportation of goods and services and people, and the sorts of materials that we use to fuel the whole of our civilisation. – Peter Garrett
61595. Look, very clearly there are things that need to be done urgently in relation to climate change, and of those the most obvious is to have an enforceable and equitable arrangement delivering deep cuts in emissions into the middle of the century. – Peter Garrett
61596. Our career path has tended to be the most perverse and contrary approach to the entertainment industry imaginable, while at the same time doing the kinds of things that you have to do, the videos, the photos and all that sort of stuff. – Peter Garrett
61597. Recently though, our State Governments have discussed instigating a carbon trading scheme – the details are still to be decided – and that’s an encouraging sign. – Peter Garrett
61598. That was the crossover line for us, to be able to play that many shows, sell them out real quick and have that tribe queue up outside and still be a mystery to everybody else. – Peter Garrett
61599. The Capitol was an occasion where you arrive at a sign in the road that says you have arrived at a place you may not have expected to be, but you know how you got here: Next! – Peter Garrett
61600. I believe the divine is part of the world, not in a pantheistic way but by way of the movement of the Spirit. – Peter Garrett
61601. The fact is that we take music very seriously. – Peter Garrett
61602. Some people are born with the necessary gift, and some work hard to build on the few gifts they have. – Peter Garrett

61613. I did honest television. Real, live, honest television. That’s what I did best. – Greg Garrison

61615. It would certainly be interesting to know what the CIA knew about Oswald six weeks before the assassination, but the contents of this particular message never reached the Warren Commission and remain a complete mystery. – Jim Garrison
61616. I always received much more satisfaction as a defense attorney in obtaining an acquittal for a client than I ever have as a D.A. in obtaining a conviction. All my interests and sympathies tend to be on the side of the individual as opposed to the state. – Jim Garrison
61617. It’s rather naive, apart from being ethically objectionable, to assume that our investigators travel around the country with bags of money trying to bribe witnesses to lie on the witness stand. We just don’t operate that way. – Jim Garrison

61623. Until as recently as November of 1966, I had complete faith in the Warren Report. Of course, my faith in the Report was grounded in ignorance, since I had never read it. – Jim Garrison
61624. To those who don’t want the truth about Kennedy’s assassination to become known, the very repetition of a charge lends it a certain credibility, since people have a tendency to believe that where there’s smoke, there’s fire. – Jim Garrison
61625. This kind of charge reveals a good deal about the personality of the people who make it; to impute such motives to another man is to imply you’re harboring them yourself. – Jim Garrison
61626. The head of the CIA, it seems to me, would think long and hard before he admitted that former employees of his had been involved in the murder of the President of the United States-even if they weren’t acting on behalf of the Agency when they did it. – Jim Garrison
61627. The grand jury, composed of 12 eminent New Orleans citizens, heard our evidence and indicted the defendant for participation in a conspiracy to assassinate John Kennedy. – Jim Garrison
61628. The CIA could not face up to the American people and admit that its former employees had conspired to assassinate the President; so from the moment Kennedy’s heart stopped beating, the Agency attempted to sweep the whole conspiracy under the rug. – Jim Garrison
61629. My office has been one of the most scrupulous in the country with regard to the protection of individual rights. I’ve been on record for years in law journals and books as championing the rights of the individual against the oppressive power of the state. – Jim Garrison
61630. It has been my policy not to respond to each of the many canards which have been part of the campaign to discredit my investigation, nor to waste time trying to prove negatives. – Jim Garrison

61648. The craziest thing I did to get a guy to notice me was going out with his best friend. It worked – he did notice me – but I don’t recommend it. – Jennie Garth
61649. It’s a market economy. Apparently the demand for great coaches exceeds the supply, so of course the price of good coaches is going to be high. – Michael Gartner
61650. There isn’t as much passion and outrage in today’s newspapers. That may be because of a corporate decision, but they’ve lost their personality. – Michael Gartner
61651. One of the nicest things about NBC is that Tom Brokaw is not Dan Rather. – Michael Gartner
61652. There is no reason for anyone in this country, anyone except a police officer or a military person, to buy, to own, to have, to use a handgun… and the only way to do that is to change the Constitution. – Michael Gartner

61684. I do want to be a manager one day. It might be 10 years, I don’t know when. – Paul Gascoigne
61685. I’ll tell you the truth: I had a double brandy before the game but, before, it used to be four bottles of whisky. Not any more. I was fine. I had a glass of wine after the game. But it was just a mouthful. – Paul Gascoigne
61686. You learn, right, a lot of people’s problems – why they get upset, why they get down, why they turn to drink – is because they can’t say one word and it’s N-O, no. – Paul Gascoigne
61687. Well, I did know – but I just wanted the day to pass and the next day to come and then I wanted that one to pass. It was a horrible cycle. I felt so close to having to pack the game in. – Paul Gascoigne
61688. Then all the foreigners started coming over. I don’t mind that but a lot of teams are laying out fortunes for ordinary players and that’s no good for our youngsters coming through. – Paul Gascoigne
61689. The drink? Yes, I’ve had tough times in my life, especially the last year, regarding my ex-wife, my kids, I nearly broke my neck, I was on death row with pneumonia. – Paul Gascoigne
61690. If the fans want me out, I’ll put my hands up and leave. Like a proper man. I won’t make excuses, I’ll leave. – Paul Gascoigne
61691. If I want to be a better person for whoever is in my life, I have to learn. – Paul Gascoigne
61692. I’ve learnt and I just want to be respected for what I’ve achieved on the pitch. I know I haven’t achieved much off it but I do know I’ve given pleasure to people watching me play football over the years. – Paul Gascoigne
61693. I’ve had to deal with everything but everyone has helped me, including Sir Alex Ferguson, to get through. George Best was a good friend of mine. We loved each other, we both knew where we were coming from. – Paul Gascoigne
61694. I’m going to do things when they are right for me. – Paul Gascoigne
61695. I won player of the year and players’ player, two cups and two championship medals, had a great time. – Paul Gascoigne
61696. I thought I did well for someone who has been out for 10 or 11 months. Then I was sub against Liverpool and tried to play for the guys and work on my fitness. – Paul Gascoigne
61697. I take responsibility for myself and what I do now. – Paul Gascoigne
61698. But then I always wanted to play for Rangers. Man United is a great club and Alex Ferguson is a legend. – Paul Gascoigne
61699. Hopefully everybody will just let me get on with my life. I’m going to. – Paul Gascoigne
61700. Anyway, how can you sack anyone who still hasn’t got a contract. I’ll be there for the game and I’ll stand behind the dugout giving instructions to the players from there. They will respond to me more than the next manager. – Paul Gascoigne
61701. I’ve got a bit of money in the bank. I’m quite comfortable. – Paul Gascoigne
61702. But if I wasn’t playing, I would drink Saturdays, then Sunday, then Monday. Then I would try and train and it was no good, then have another drink just to pass the day away. – Paul Gascoigne
61703. I never refused an autograph, never refused to buy someone a drink. Now I’m learning to say I’ve got other things on, instead of doing it and wondering why. – Paul Gascoigne
61704. I am going to continue and bring this club forward. I am Paul Gascoigne the footballer. – Paul Gascoigne
61705. I don’t really do pranks any more. I have a laugh in the dressing room here, where it’s safe, and the guys don’t go to the papers and tell them what I’ve done. – Paul Gascoigne
61706. I fought back, got injured again and I had to have another operation. I got down and depressed and I think I was drinking more than I should. Well, I know I was. – Paul Gascoigne
61707. I had to accept that I was an alcoholic, that was the main thing. I think you’ve got to. But I try not say that I’m an alcoholic. I prefer to say that it’s a disease I’ve got. – Paul Gascoigne
61708. I know as a manager you have to abide by the chairman’s decisions. But his decisions were this team, that team, this player, that player. The chairman is a control freak. – Paul Gascoigne

61712. To be sure a stepmother to a girl is a different thing to a second wife to a man! – Elizabeth Gaskell

61715. A wise parent humors the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and advisor when his absolute rule shall cease. – Elizabeth Gaskell
61716. I’ll not listen to reason… reason always means what someone else has got to say. – Elizabeth Gaskell
61717. My heart burnt within me with indignation and grief; we could think of nothing else. All night long we had only snatches of sleep, waking up perpetually to the sense of a great shock and grief. Every one is feeling the same. I never knew so universal a feeling. – Elizabeth Gaskell
61718. People may flatter themselves just as much by thinking that their faults are always present to other people’s minds, as if they believe that the world is always contemplating their individual charms and virtues. – Elizabeth Gaskell

61728. Living is a constant process of deciding what we are going to do. – Jose Ortega y Gasset

61770. I played Liddy Dole last year and met her as well. From the artful way she phrased it, I still don’t know if she had actually seen me play her. She made it sound like it was good, but that’s just a gift they have. – Ana Gasteyer

61775. It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure. – Bill Gates

61778. Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren’t so exciting. – Bill Gates
61779. Microsoft is not about greed. It’s about innovation and fairness. – Bill Gates
61780. Now, we put out a lot of carbon dioxide every year, over 26 billion tons. For each American, it’s about 20 tons. For people in poor countries, it’s less than one ton. It’s an average of about five tons for everyone on the planet. And, somehow, we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero. – Bill Gates
61781. People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn’t they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines… There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters. – Bill Gates
61782. Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers – organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative – if we don’t solve these security problems, then people will hold back. – Bill Gates
