62414. If you cut down a forest, it doesn’t matter how many sawmills you have if there are no more trees. – Susan George

62416. Subsidize… or lend. – Susan George
62417. This erosion of the middle class is happening all over the place. The opening of a wider gap between rich and poor is always accompanied by such a process. – Susan George

62426. There’s people coming in who’ve never done any politics at all, who’ve never been in a trade union, they’ve never been in a political party, they’ve never done anything, but they do feel a kind of urgency. – Susan George
62427. There is no degree of human suffering which in and of itself is going to bring about change. Only organisation can change things. – Susan George

62440. I think the market is always going to be around. The goal is not to say, let’s get rid of the market, because the market does render a huge number of services, and I don’t want to have a fight about the price of something every time I buy a book or a bottle of water. – Susan George

62449. Given that we glimpse what distinguishes man from the beast, is there anything that distinguishes woman from man? – W. L. George

62466. I have many times asked myself whether there can be more potent advocates of peace upon earth through the years to come than this massed multitude of silent witnesses to the desolation of war. – King George V

62471. Why would we want to keep a tax cut that’s failed? Why would we not want to go back to the Clinton tax code? And why would we not want to help every family more with a health-care plan like mine? Let’s help average people. Let’s be Democrats. – Dick Gephardt
62472. Like father, like son, four years and this president is done. – Dick Gephardt
62473. I hope we can get back to what I call the kitchen table. Everyday issues that people are really worried about and focused on. – Dick Gephardt
62474. I’ve thought a lot about the world and how George Bush sees the world and it ain’t even close. – Dick Gephardt
62475. It’s more fun having him as everyman in the 25th Century. It is better to concentrate on what this planet will be like 500 years from now, and not be dealing with little aliens in space and all that related stuff. – Gil Gerard
62476. Although there were only about 24 episodes made it seems to run forever. They take a couple of episodes and put them together, making a feature film once in a while. I had good fun making the series. – Gil Gerard

62478. Up to that point I never really knew what my character would be expected to do, and prior to accepting the job I had actually turned down the role three times before finally giving in. – Gil Gerard
62479. Then I got the offer to play Buck Rogers, but I turned it down thinking it was a cartoon character. Well I was wrong, it wasn’t at all. So I read the script and decided I liked the character, it had a good concept. – Gil Gerard
62480. The show originally started out as a ten hour mini-series. We shot two hours and then were excused for a while, for no apparent reason. Things went very quiet for a time and then a few months later we were called back and told that it was going to be a full season. – Gil Gerard
62481. The basic answer is that I wasn’t happy or fulfilled by the job I had and I wanted my life to mean something to me, so I searched my life experience and realized that acting and performing were activities that I enjoyed all aspects of. – Gil Gerard
62482. Some writers and producers are currently writing a sitcom for me, so we’ll see what happens there. I’m somewhat reluctant to talk about some of the upcoming projects that I’m working on; I’ve a lot of stuff on the go, including five pictures that I’m looking at producing. – Gil Gerard
62483. Prior to that I produced a couple of TV movies for CBS, but the truth of the matter is that I burned out for a couple of years. I didn’t do anything for a while, apart from taking up golf, for which I got a four handicap. – Gil Gerard
62484. People would say I really loved Buck Rogers until the Hawk guy came on. – Gil Gerard
62485. Other effects in the show included models of the ships which were extremely expensive to make. We used to do our shots in front of a blue screen and they’d put the effects on after. – Gil Gerard

62487. I’ve now returned to the business again because I finally realised that I really enjoy the creative process. – Gil Gerard
62488. I’ve just got into the convention circuit in the last couple of years and it’s great to see all these people who are still interested in the show. It’s so gratifying to hear that so many people enjoyed the work that Erin and I have done. – Gil Gerard
62489. I’m currently raising a 15 year old son and an 18 year old daughter, which a guess is my punishment for a wild youth! – Gil Gerard

62492. I think people connect better with TV. stars over film stars. – Gil Gerard
62493. I made the character as much of myself as I could. – Gil Gerard

62495. I have a superstition about saying too much about what I want to happen, just in case it all disappears, or someone else comes along and beats me to it. – Gil Gerard

62497. I brought my personality and sense of wonder and I think they wrote as much of my personality as they could. I do not go around kicking butt and saving the universe all the time but they tried to capture me as best as they could in the character. – Gil Gerard
62498. It is amazing that something I did 23 years ago still has an audience that people respond to and I am touched and surprised that people are still very positive about. – Gil Gerard
62499. The greatest business people I’ve met are determined to get it right no matter what the cost. – Michael Gerber

62525. I cry every chance I get. – Richard Gere
62526. I’m voting for Gore because the other is unthinkable. Which most of us will probably do. I hope all of us. I’ve always liked Ralph Nader and would like to see a real third party, but the thought of George Bush as president is unthinkable. – Richard Gere
62527. I don’t know any of us who are in relationships that are totally honest – it doesn’t exist. – Richard Gere

62530. I’m a 50 year-old guy and I’m not in shape like I was when I was 30. – Richard Gere
62531. I’m less needy about needing to express myself through acting. I have many different lives outside of this that are extremely fulfilling. – Richard Gere
62532. I’m not that tough; I’m not that smart. I need life telling me who I am, showing me my mind constantly. I wouldn’t see it in a cave. – Richard Gere

62834. As far as playing jazz, no other art form, other than conversation, can give the satisfaction of spontaneous interaction. – Stan Getz
62835. I came from an era when we didn’t use electronic instruments. The bass wasn’t even amplified. The sound was the sound you got. – Stan Getz
62836. If you like an instrument that sings, play the saxophone. At its best it’s like the human voice. – Stan Getz
62837. Life is too full of distractions nowadays. When I was a kid we had a little Emerson radio and that was it. We were more dedicated. We didn’t have a choice. – Stan Getz
62838. My dark sound could be heard across a room clearer than somebody with a reedy sound. It had more projection. My sound always seemed to fill a room. – Stan Getz
62839. Records used to be documents, but now record companies want product. – Stan Getz
62840. The saxophone is an imperfect instrument, especially the tenor and soprano, as far as intonation goes. The challenge is to sing on an imperfect instrument that is outside of your body. – Stan Getz
62841. We made records to document ourselves, not to sell a lot of records. I still feel that way. I put out a record because I think it’s beautiful, not necessarily commercial. – Stan Getz
62842. You can read all the textbooks and listen to all the records, but you have to play with musicians that are better than you. – Stan Getz
62843. You don’t rehearse jazz to death to get the camera angles. – Stan Getz

62845. The failure of the United Nations – My failure is maybe, in retrospective, that I was not enough aggressive with the members of the Security Council. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62846. We got involved in the Rwanda peace process for the simple reason that there was a decision which was taken by the Security Council, because the troops were in Uganda, and we decided to have a military presence. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62847. We were not realizing that, with just a machete, you can do a genocide. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62848. When you have an accident, they will save their own people, and those who have worked with you or with the NGOs are left. Unfortunately, this happens always. It is not an excuse at all. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62849. There is a greater fatigue concerning the African problem today than five or 10 years ago. The situation now in Africa is worse today than it was 10 years ago. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62850. The problem is when you are writing something in retrospective, it needs a lot of courage not to change, or you will forget a certain reality, and you will just take in consideration your view today. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62851. The change began in Somalia, where we discovered that we were involved in an operation where there was no peace, so there was no more a peacekeeping operation because there was no peace. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62852. So this is why I’m always say happy that somebody mentions Rwanda, because behind Rwanda, we have Africa. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62853. The real problem was not the troops; the real problem was that only the United States had the infrastructure to do the transport of troops with big planes, and then who will pay? – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62854. The fact that you had disruptions in the peace process was not only in Rwanda. We had the same problem in Cambodia, we had the same problem in Mozambique, we had the same problem in Salvador. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62855. But I believe that the DPKO at this time was very much involved with American administration and was acting, taking on consideration the demand or the recommendation of the American administration. American administration was very powerful. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62856. But definitely, when a decision is taken, or when you are trying to oppose a decision, you are in a weaker position than the member states, because they know more about the situation than you. We gave information, but they never gave us any information. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62857. But at the beginning, our definition of the genocide was what happened to Armenia in 1917 or 1919, it’s happened to the Jew in Europe, and we were not realizing – In our point of view, they have not the tools to do a genocide. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62858. For President Clinton, according to this discussion I had with him, Rwanda was a marginal problem. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62859. For us, genocide was the gas chamber – what happened in Germany. We were not able to realize that with the machete you can create a genocide. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62860. I used to say I never talk about my successor, neither about my predecessor. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62861. In Yugoslavia, I’d asked for additional forces too. I even went to meet the French prime minister, and I proposed additional forces… Nobody wanted to send troops. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62862. It was a mistake. I was wrong, but I discovered this many years later. I was acting on the basis of this mandate given me by the most important leaders of the world: President Bush’s father, prime minister of France, President Mitterand, the Chinese, everybody. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62863. Rwanda was considered a second-class operation; because it was a small country, we had been able to maintain a kind of status quo. They were negotiating, they’d accepted the new peace project, so we were under the impression that everything would be solved easily. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62864. A genocide in Africa has not received the same attention that genocide in Europe or genocide in Turkey or genocide in other part of the world. There is still this kind of basic discrimination against the African people and the African problems. – Boutros Boutros Ghali
62865. There are thousands of girls out there who could be doing my job. – Yasmeen Ghauri
62866. Incentives are not strategy, they are tactics. Defensive measures. – Carlos Ghosn

62874. Whores are the most honest girls. They present the bill right away. – Alberto Giacometti
62875. I paint and sculpt to get a grip on reality… to protect myself. – Alberto Giacometti
62876. The older I grow, the more I find myself alone. – Alberto Giacometti
62877. I don’t know if I work in order to do something, or in order to know why I can’t do what I want to do. – Alberto Giacometti

62879. Once the object has been constructed, I have a tendency to discover in it, transformed and displaced, images, impressions, facts which have deeply moved me. – Alberto Giacometti
62880. It was always disappointing to see that what I could really master in terms of form boiled down to so little. – Alberto Giacometti
62881. It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see. – Alberto Giacometti
62882. In the past I have never thought about loneliness when working, and I don’t think about it now. Yet there must be a reason for the fact that so many people talk about it. – Alberto Giacometti
62883. I’ve been fifty thousand times to the Louvre. I have copied everything in drawing, trying to understand. – Alberto Giacometti
62884. In every work of art the subject is primordial, whether the artist knows it or not. The measure of the formal qualities is only a sign of the measure of the artist’s obsession with his subject; the form is always in proportion to the obsession. – Alberto Giacometti
62885. If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn’t have to paint at all. – Alberto Giacometti
62886. I’ve tried doing so, for it was never my intention to paint only with gray. But in the course of my work I have eliminated one color after another, and what has remained is gray, gray, gray! – Alberto Giacometti
62887. Artistically I am still a child with a whole life ahead of me to discover and create. I want something, but I won’t know what it is until I succeed in doing it. – Alberto Giacometti
62888. When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it. – Alberto Giacometti
62889. I did theater at Carnegie, and in Pittsburgh and New York. – Laura San Giacomo
62890. I have a son, Mason, who is disabled – cerebral palsy – and he does not walk independently, sit independently or speak. He uses a talking computer. I started becoming an advocate for him when he was 3 years old. – Laura San Giacomo
62891. I went to college in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Mellon University… studied acting there. Then I went to New York for about five years. I moved out here about 10 years ago. – Laura San Giacomo
62892. The world is changing and the physical barriers are down now. It’s time for the emotional barriers to go down. And what better place to start than school? – Laura San Giacomo
62893. There are amazing schools and amazing educators that are doing a wonderful job. And then there are a lot of educators that are not prepared to deal with inclusive education. They haven’t been trained. It’s really quite lovely and easy when you understand how to do it. – Laura San Giacomo
62894. On matters of race, on matters of decency, baseball should lead the way. – A. Bartlett Giamatti
62895. A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching. – A. Bartlett Giamatti
62896. All I ever wanted to be president of was the American League. – A. Bartlett Giamatti
62897. No one man is superior to the game. – A. Bartlett Giamatti
62898. Teachers believe they have a gift for giving; it drives them with the same irrepressible drive that drives others to create a work of art or a market or a building. – A. Bartlett Giamatti
62899. There are a lot of people who know me who can’t understand for the life of them why I would got to work on something as unserious as baseball. If they only knew. – A. Bartlett Giamatti
62900. There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind. – A. Bartlett Giamatti
62901. There’s nothing bad that accrues from baseball. – A. Bartlett Giamatti
62902. Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process. – A. Bartlett Giamatti
62903. It’d be disingenuous to say I don’t like attention – I’m an actor for God’s sake – and it’s flattering and all, but attention was never my big goal. I just like to work and have a good time. – Paul Giamatti
62904. This whole business feels kind of intense, like a bad fit. Round peg, square hole. But whatever, I’ll take it. – Paul Giamatti
62905. Well, you know, when people say stuff about you, it’s always really flattering. But does it mean anything to me? It’s not really real to me; there’s no reality to it. – Paul Giamatti
62906. You are absolutely free to describe me as a turtle or something. – Paul Giamatti
62907. Am I really cool? You’re telling me I’m cool? Well, that’s good to hear. – Paul Giamatti
62908. I can’t get into specifics. Someday, hopefully, I’ll be able to. – Jason Giambi
62909. If, if more stimulus means more tax cuts to small businesses, if, if more stimulus means middle class tax cuts, then I’m for it. – Alexi Giannoulias
62910. We need to focus on green jobs: solar, wind, geothermal, biomass.There’s so many opportunities. But other countries like China are getting ahead of the curve. – Alexi Giannoulias
62911. Look, the, the – this country has not lived within its means for a very long time, and, and the truth is we’re going to have to take our medicine. – Alexi Giannoulias
62912. But if, if you take a look at what would have happened, I mean, do we need to see soup lines down the street to figure out what would have happened? We avoided – and all economists will tell you that millions of jobs were saved because of the Recovery Act, and we avoided a second Great Depression. That, that is a reality. – Alexi Giannoulias
62913. One of the biggest problems out there that I hear from my friends in the business community is that there’s no lending, that it’s tough to get a loan today. – Alexi Giannoulias
62914. I have to take time occasionally to get away from the pressures of this business. If I don’t, I think I would get stale, and that would show in my music. – Andy Gibb
62915. Victoria was just as much in love with me as I was with her. We could not bear to be apart for a single second. We were like two lovers shipwrecked on a desert island. There was no world outside our love. – Andy Gibb
62916. There is nothing to compare with the instantaneous feedback a singer gets from the people sitting in front of him. That is where it all comes together – all the rehearsing and working to get everything just exactly right. – Andy Gibb
62917. Songs don’t just come out of the air. They take time, but it’s good fun, too. Maurice gave me encouragement. – Andy Gibb
62918. In 1973 we moved to the British Isle of Man, and I put my first band together for one year, named Melody Fair. – Andy Gibb
62919. I’ve been working at performing for five years now. I’ve been working in Australia and Spain and England. When I was only 15 or 16, 1 was performing in bars; I could have had legal problems, but it’s also the only way to get to know what music is all about. – Andy Gibb
62920. I respect the people who buy my records and come to my concerts. It’s only fair that I always try to give them the very best that’s in me. After all, I need them more than they need me. – Andy Gibb
62921. I have been to hell and back. I had a very, very bad nervous breakdown. – Andy Gibb
62922. Girls are always running through my mind. They don’t dare walk. – Andy Gibb
62923. Before, I was terrified on stage. I only play guitar during the acoustic songs. After a while, you can elicit certain responses from the crowd, like Elvis. – Andy Gibb
62924. I’ll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around. – Andy Gibb
62925. I like blues but it is music I am too ignorant to understand. – Barry Gibb
62926. As long as you’re having fun, that’s the key. The moment it becomes a grind, it’s over. – Barry Gibb

62929. By going solo I could lose a fortune but money is not important. – Barry Gibb

62934. I have a huge ego and a huge inferiority complex at the same time. – Barry Gibb
62935. The secret is to make sure your family comes before anything else, because no matter what you do you’ve got to come home. – Barry Gibb
62936. Maurice would prance into a room, you know, and his presence was immediate. – Barry Gibb
62937. My music, certainly, has never embarrassed me. – Barry Gibb
62938. Now there is a new group every week; it seems like everybody and anybody can get into the charts. – Barry Gibb
62939. Our parents came home one day and heard us, and they thought it was the radio, but our grandfather told them it was us. – Barry Gibb
62940. Sure I’m leaving the Bee Gees. I’m going into films. – Barry Gibb

62942. The only thing I miss on stage is the falsetto. – Barry Gibb
62943. It’s very questionable, and we will pursue every factor, every element, every second of the timeline, of the final hours of Maurice’s life. We will pursue that relentlessly. That will be our quest from now on. – Barry Gibb
62944. We had to leave Australia to become international stars. – Barry Gibb
62945. We were very influenced by The Beatles, no question. – Barry Gibb

62947. When you write a song you have an idea of how it should be sung but it doesn’t work out that way if someone else records it. – Barry Gibb
62948. You are never really prepared for criticism. – Barry Gibb
62949. You can be tops in Australia and be unheard of everywhere else. – Barry Gibb
62950. The Bee Gees no longer exist. – Barry Gibb
62951. I’m very much a family person. – Barry Gibb
62952. The only thing that exists to me is commercial pop music. – Barry Gibb

62954. I never really did any disco dancing. – Barry Gibb
62955. I think they are grooming me as another Gary Cooper. – Barry Gibb
62956. I will always have my songs and I don’t think I will ever dry-up. – Barry Gibb

62960. Leaving Australia was the hardest thing I have ever done. – Barry Gibb
62961. I’ve never been into parties, premieres or night-clubbing. – Barry Gibb
62962. I’ve worked with a lot of people who are more famous than myself who are terribly insecure. – Barry Gibb
62963. It is commercial pop that the majority of people understand. A working man’s daughter would not understand blues. – Barry Gibb
62964. It is not the money but the self-respect and wanting to create good music. – Barry Gibb
62965. It was great being together as a band, but much more difficult being brothers than it was being in a band. – Barry Gibb
62966. I just love the feeling a close family gives you and I wouldn’t change it for anything. – Barry Gibb
62967. I’m Mr Boring, not a party-goer at all. – Barry Gibb
62968. We enjoy change and freshness, and disco was only one area we’ve delved into. – Barry Gibb

62974. I suppose being his twin made me understand Robin that much more easily. – Maurice Gibb
62975. When we write, we complement each other. We wrote six songs, Barry and I, while Robin was ill during the American tour, and they were terrible until Robin came back, and then everything worked out. – Maurice Gibb
62976. When Andy died, I just drank to dumb my mind. – Maurice Gibb
62977. We worked for 11 years to get where we are today, and I want to take our work seriously so that later on I’ll be able to appreciate the money we’ve made. – Maurice Gibb
62978. We expected to have a good time with Clive Davis ’cause I’ve always liked him, his shows. I’ve sort of followed his career a bit ’cause he had a lot of that on PBS over here. – Maurice Gibb
62979. We don’t mind being ripped apart, but don’t rip the songs apart. They’re like our kids. – Maurice Gibb
62980. I think we have to act like stars because it is expected of us. So we drive our big cars and live in our smart houses. – Maurice Gibb
62981. Robin had always wanted to go solo, so when it happened I wasn’t angry at all. I understood the situation. But Barry is so full of pride and couldn’t understand why Robin had done it. – Maurice Gibb
62982. I’m quite proud of my piano playing. Robin’s never played a note on the piano at our recording sessions. I just wish I could be appreciated musically now. – Maurice Gibb
62983. I write the music because I can’t really write lyrics. But I can write chords like Robin’s never heard of. So I provide the music for them to add the lyrics to. – Maurice Gibb
62984. They don’t bother too much with the balance and things on blues records. – Maurice Gibb
62985. I’ll be honest. We copied everyone… the Beatles, the Bachelors. It was the only way people would even listen to you. – Maurice Gibb
62986. The most important thing about recovery is to pass the message on. – Maurice Gibb

62989. Finally, I found a program that’s put my troubles behind me. – Maurice Gibb

62991. Robin hasn’t got a big nose – but I can soon arrange that. – Maurice Gibb
62992. Tiny Tim? Anyone could sing like that. It’s atrocious. It’s hideous, really. – Maurice Gibb
62993. So many groups fail because they spend all their time in the clubs. Work pours in and they can’t handle it because of late-night drinking. – Maurice Gibb
62994. It’s very hard to write a song alone. It’s only by jamming that you can get a song together. – Maurice Gibb
62995. Jim Morrison’s very good looking, but I don’t like this version of the song. The Feliciano version is better. – Maurice Gibb
62996. No one knew me until I met my wife Lulu. Lulu’s mother used to ask, Which one is Maurice? For six months she thought Lulu was dating Barry. – Maurice Gibb
62997. As an alcoholic, you have no appreciation for your wife or your children’s feelings, but I’m making up for that now. I’m winning my children’s trust back. – Maurice Gibb
62998. Barry seems to be more flamboyant merely because he gets more interviews to talk about it. – Maurice Gibb
62999. America? They had a good girl singer, Janis Joplin. – Maurice Gibb
63000. I don’t take things for granted, because everything feels more fragile. It’s made me wonder about mortality and how long you’ve got somebody in the world. I’m more fearful than I used to be. – Robin Gibb
