66226. There are lots of countries around that have weapons of mass destruction. We can’t presumably attack them all. – Bill Graham

66269. Today 80 percent of all the oil that comes out of the Gulf is from 1,000 feet or more and today almost a third of it is more than 5,000 feet below the surface. What hasn’t happened is the safety and the ability to respond to a negative event such as this blowout, has been far outrun by the technology of drilling itself. We need to close that gap. – Bob Graham

66270. The president, clearly as a result of the war and the afterglow of the war, is in a time of great attention. – Bob Graham

66273. We need to make a greater investment in human intelligence. – Bob Graham

66274. We ought to recognize that we have an offensive responsibility to take the war to the terrorists where they are. That responsibility has waned in the last year as military and intelligence resources were withdrawn from Afghanistan and Pakistan to be used in Iraq. – Bob Graham

66275. Yes, more than 100 Democrats voted to authorize Bush to take the nation to war. Most of them did so in the belief that the president and his administration were truthful in their statements that Saddam Hussein was a gathering menace. – Bob Graham

66277. I have had national security background, 10 years on the Intelligence Committee, the last two years as chair. – Bob Graham

66278. We need to make is to strengthen the position of the director of the CIA. – Bob Graham

66284. I consider my voice to be a centrist moderate voice among the nine Democratic candidates. – Bob Graham

66287. I voted no on the resolution to give the president authority to go to war against Iraq. I was able to apply caveat emptor. Most of my colleagues could not. – Bob Graham

66288. I would give relief from the first $10,000 of the payroll tax. I would allow small businesses to accelerate depreciation so they would have an incentive to buy now rather than defer. I would also give to the states $40 billion of relief. – Bob Graham

66289. In my judgment, the greatest risks are international terrorist groups like al Qaeda and Hezbollah. The war in Iraq has taken our attention off those priorities. – Bob Graham

66290. It’s fundamentally unfair to have so much of the tax relief go to so few. And it is a 10-year tax plan rather than one, as mine, focused on the next two years, which in my opinion is the critical time to jumpstart the economy. – Bob Graham

66305. Pastoral theology and care helps people look deeper at the intersection between their inherited religious traditions and their current life situations. – Larry Graham

66306. These days I have to be extra nice in stores. It never fails that whenever I look as bad as I can possibly look or I am sort of cranky because the store is out of something, that is precisely the time when someone one will recognize me and say: ‘I really like your show.’ – Lauren Graham

66307. Nobody ever seems to want my advice about serious stuff. People will be like: ‘Who made that sweater?’ Or ‘How did you get your hair so straight?’ They don’t to come to me for the relationship advice or deep stuff. In fact, my little sister actually hides from me. – Lauren Graham

66308. The thing I don’t like on television is when somebody does something that makes absolutely no sense just for the shock of it. – Lauren Graham

66311. Some people think my father was a spy, because of working for that government agency in Vietnam, but he can’t find his car keys, much less keep a national secret. – Lauren Graham

66312. Perspective is the most important thing to have in life. – Lauren Graham

66313. One of the things I like about the show is it redefines the idea of what it is to be a mother, which at its most basic level is to take care of a child. It doesn’t mean you have to look like the ladies in the Lysol commercials. – Lauren Graham

66318. I’m nice, and I show up on time. – Lauren Graham

66319. I feel real ownership in this show. I feel very invested in it. I care very much about it. I don’t feel any more like a hired hand, you know? It’s a strange feeling – I feel personally responsible for how the story goes. What happens. What the weaknesses are. And so in a way, some of the changes gave me an opportunity to have a voice in a different way. – Lauren Graham

66320. I definitely wanted to be an actor. I didn’t want to be on TV, I didn’t want to be famous, I didn’t want to be anyone in particular; I just wanted to do it. I see young people now who look at magazines, or American Idol and their goal is to have that lifestyle – to have good handbags, or go out with cute guys from shows, or whatever. But I definitely wanted to be an actor. – Lauren Graham

66321. Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I’m an actor. – Lauren Graham

66322. Belly buttons are cool! – Lauren Graham

66323. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten more liberal, and my father is increasingly conservative. It’s so shocking to me because I always thought we had the same politics. The day I realized we voted for different presidents, I practically fell out of my chair. – Lauren Graham

66324. It’s great to have an acting job in the age of Reality TV. – Lauren Graham

66325. There’s a lot of things we can do to balance out what Obama’s done and going forward show the American people the Republican Party can govern. I want a coalition of tea party people, independents, moderate Democrats trying to find a way to move this country forward before we become Greece. – Lindsey Graham

66326. We cannot win this war on terror if people are undercutting us. And one way to undercut us is to empower Iran. – Lindsey Graham

66327. We don’t have a lot of Reagan-type leaders in our party. Remember Ronald Reagan Democrats? I want a Republican that can attract Democrats. – Lindsey Graham

66328. We will never win this war until we understand the effect that Guantanamo Bay has had on the overall war effort. And we’ll never get the support of the American people if we can’t prove to them that these folks that we’re dealing with are not common criminals. We’re going to keep them – keep you safe from them. – Lindsey Graham

66329. We’re failing when it comes to controlling spending. – Lindsey Graham

66330. We’ve got fifty people at Gitmo that are too dangerous to be let go that will never go through a normal criminal trial. Let’s create a new legal system, so they’ll have their day in court. – Lindsey Graham

66332. The sooner we get started with alternative energy sources and recognize that fossil fuels makes us less secure as a nation, and more dangerous as a planet, the better off we’ll be. – Lindsey Graham

66333. Why did we go to war? Why did we pick people from South Carolina, California, and all the places in between to go to a foreign land and risk their lives and have some die? To make sure that Saddam Hussein could do no more damage to the region or us than he has already done. – Lindsey Graham

66334. Social Security must be preserved and strengthened. But we need to be candid about the costs and willing to make the tough choices that real reform will require. – Lindsey Graham

66335. What’s going on in the Senate is kind of a politics of escalation. We’re getting sort of like the Mideast: pay back everybody when you’re in charge. – Lindsey Graham

66336. The politics of judges is getting to be red hot. – Lindsey Graham

66337. The healthcare bill not only is a monstrosity in terms of growing the government and cutting out the private sector, the way it was passed was sleazy. Every old Washington trick was used to pass the healthcare bill. – Lindsey Graham

66338. Conservatives have a different view of a lot of issues versus our friends on the other side. The election determines how that shakes out. – Lindsey Graham

66339. The American consumer is also the American worker, and if we don’t do something to protect our manufacturing base here at home, it is going to be hard to buy any retail goods. – Lindsey Graham

66340. President Bush has shown great leadership. He has said that the 21st century will not be ruled or dictated by terrorists, dictators, and murderers. He is absolutely right. God bless him for his resolve. – Lindsey Graham

66343. If you increase taxes now on – at any level, it’s going to make it harder to create jobs And we’ve lost 2 1/2 million jobs since the stimulus package passed. We’re at 9.6 unemployment. So I don’t think we tax too little, I think we spend too much. – Lindsey Graham

66344. I dare say there may be some men and women in the Armed Forces who are so decent that they would say: Give the Iraqi people money, we do not want to be paid back. That is the strength of our country. – Lindsey Graham

66345. Detainee policy in this war is hard, it’s complicated, but we must get it right. We would be better off as a nation if we could close Gitmo safely and start a new prison that he could use that the world would see as a better way to doing business. – Lindsey Graham

66346. The courtroom is a quiet place, Judge Roberts, where you park your political ideology, and you call the balls and you call the strikes. – Lindsey Graham

66347. Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men. – Martha Graham

66348. I did not want to be a tree, a flower or a wave. In a dancer’s body, we as audience must see ourselves, not the imitated behavior of everyday actions, not the phenomenon of nature, not exotic creatures from another planet, but something of the miracle that is a human being. – Martha Graham

66376. I suppose I should learn Lisp, but it seems so foreign. – Paul Graham

66420. We put out press releases to tell people what had happened to me and that I had a large weight gain but a lot of people still didn’t know. The ones that didn’t know were floored. That was a real humbling experience for me. – Lou Gramm

66421. The future is finally something that we can now put into focus. – Lou Gramm

66422. Regardless what technology is, I like analog too. – Lou Gramm

66423. It’s only in the seventies that I put the sticks down and I moved to the front. – Lou Gramm

66424. Maybe some people have written us off, but I think the new music today has also invigorated us. – Lou Gramm

66425. We play some of my stuff and we play some Beatle covers. – Lou Gramm

66426. You have to work with the ideas and give them a little push. – Lou Gramm

66427. After the accident Black Sheep was pretty much at an end. – Lou Gramm

66428. As long as I continue to put forth who I am and what I believe, than I think it all balances out. – Lou Gramm

66429. Beginning to create again was something that I took for granted but I never will take it for granted again. – Lou Gramm

66430. I am starting to look like and perform like the Lou that I used to be. – Lou Gramm

66431. For the next three plus years, I really was not in creative shape. That part of my brain was not functioning. – Lou Gramm

66432. I find singing some of Foreigner’s older songs are a little reckless and not exactly who I am now. – Lou Gramm

66433. I go to the gym five days a week and I have a personal trainer. I am on a strict diet, which is kind of hard to keep up with on the road, but I stick to it as well as I can. – Lou Gramm

66434. I had my own musical ideas that Mick helped me with as well. – Lou Gramm

66435. I opted out of the band. – Lou Gramm

66436. I think we are looked upon as a veteran band. – Lou Gramm

66437. I was a drummer, and I did a little singing too. – Lou Gramm

66438. I went in for an operation to remove a brain tumor. – Lou Gramm

66439. I gave my life to Christ about 1991. – Lou Gramm

66440. Five years ago we were working on a new album when my health began failing. – Lou Gramm

66441. A lot of times Mick will play me different things, or I’ll listen to a cassette, and out of twenty ideas or whatever, I’ll find two or three that are just blowing me away, and we’ll start working on them right away. – Lou Gramm

66442. It was a little at a time but I broke out my Walkman and my lyric pad and started writing. – Lou Gramm

66443. It was kind of fun being the headliners. – Lou Gramm

66444. It was really terrific but Foreigner was nothing like Yes and that style did not suit our music. – Lou Gramm

66445. In those days it was pretty cut and dry. If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road. – Lou Gramm

66446. If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road. – Lou Gramm

66447. Half the world does not know the joys of wearing cotton underwear. – Phil Gramm

66448. The genius of the American system is that through freedom we have created extraordinary results from plain old ordinary people. – Phil Gramm

66449. Quite frankly, I think nothing could do more to immediately bolster national security then enabling us to produce more oil and gas here at home at a price consumers could afford. – Phil Gramm

66450. It’s not fair to say that people who work with their head or with their hands ought to pay taxes, but people who earn their living with capital ought not to. – Phil Gramm

66451. I’m carrying so much pork, I’m beginning to get trichinosis. – Phil Gramm

66452. I have the most reliable friend you can have in American politics, and that is ready money. – Phil Gramm

66453. Government is not the generator of economic growth; working people are. – Phil Gramm

66454. I’d rather go to the dentist… but I’m going. – Phil Gramm

66455. It takes a very strange person to enjoy fame, with all the by-products that come with it. It’s not necessarily a thrill. – Kelsey Grammer

66456. I became an actor, and because I had success as an actor, I became famous. I was acting for quite a while before I got famous; television made me famous. I guess that it’s television that is responsible for everybody’s desire to be famous. – Kelsey Grammer

66457. Life is supposed to get tough. – Kelsey Grammer

66458. I’m an actor and I’ve created a lasting and memorable character named Frasier, who is not me, but who most people think is. So when I have a chance to play something that’s different, I embrace it because it’s fun; also in this case, he’s a memorable character. – Kelsey Grammer

66459. I think it’s your duty to overcome what you inherit in life. – Kelsey Grammer

66460. Fame obviously has become a premium in everybody’s life. Everybody thinks they deserve it, everybody thinks they want it and most people really don’t enjoy it once they get it. – Kelsey Grammer

66461. Apologizes are pointless, regrets come too late. What matters is you can move, on you can grow. – Kelsey Grammer

66462. The challenge of modernity is to live without illusions and without becoming disillusioned. – Antonio Gramsci

66463. To tell the truth is revolutionary. – Antonio Gramsci

66464. Pessimism of the spirit; optimism of the will. – Antonio Gramsci

66465. My practicality consists in this, in the knowledge that if you beat your head against the wall it is your head which breaks and not the wall – that is my strength, my only strength. – Antonio Gramsci

66466. I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will. – Antonio Gramsci

66467. I turn and turn in my cell like a fly that doesn’t know where to die. – Antonio Gramsci

66468. If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden. – Claudia Grandi

66469. We have got to work on keeping these children engaged with the world. – Temple Grandin

66470. Research is starting to show that a child should be engaged at least 20 hours a week. I do not think it matters which program you choose as long as it keeps the child actively engaged with the therapist, teacher, or parent for at least 20 hours a week. – Temple Grandin

66471. My life is basically my work. – Temple Grandin

66472. People are always looking for the single magic bullet that will totally change everything. There is no single magic bullet. – Temple Grandin

66473. You have got to keep autistic children engaged with the world. You cannot let them tune out. – Temple Grandin

66474. Pressure is calming to the nervous system. – Temple Grandin

66475. Research has shown that a barren environment is much more damaging to baby animals than it is to adult animals. It does not hurt the adult animals the same way it damages babies. – Temple Grandin

66476. Some autistic children cannot stand the sound of certain voices. I have come across cases where teachers tell me that certain children have problems with their voice or another person’s voice. This problem tends to be related to high-pitched ladies’ voices. – Temple Grandin

66477. Some children may need a behavioral approach, whereas other children may need a sensory approach. – Temple Grandin

66478. Some teachers just have a knack for working with autistic children. Other teachers do not have it. – Temple Grandin

66479. There is a tremendous range of children with a PDD label. – Temple Grandin

66480. When you take a drug to treat high blood pressure or diabetes, you have an objective test to measure blood pressure and the amount of sugar in the blood. It is straight-forward. With autism, you are looking for changes in behavior. – Temple Grandin

66481. If you start using a medication in a person with autism, you should see an obvious improvement in behavior in a short period of time. If you do not see an obvious improvement, they probably should not be taking the stuff. It is that simple. – Temple Grandin

66482. If I did not have my work, I would not have any life. – Temple Grandin

66483. The squeeze machine is not going to cure anybody, but it may help them relax; and a relaxed person will usually have better behavior. – Temple Grandin

66484. And while we are on the subject of medication you always need to look at risk versus benefit. – Temple Grandin

66485. I would not be here now if I did not have anti-depressants. – Temple Grandin

66486. One of my sensory problems was hearing sensitivity, where certain loud noises, such as a school bell, hurt my ears. It sounded like a dentist drill going through my ears. – Temple Grandin

66487. A treatment method or an educational method that will work for one child may not work for another child. The one common denominator for all of the young children is that early intervention does work, and it seems to improve the prognosis. – Temple Grandin

66488. As you may know, some of the stereotyped behaviors exhibited by autistic children are also found in zoo animals who are raised in a barren environment. – Temple Grandin

66489. Autism is an extremely variable disorder. – Temple Grandin

66490. Children between the ages of five to ten years are even more variable. They are going to vary from very high functioning, capable of doing normal school work, to nonverbal who have all kinds of neurological problems. – Temple Grandin

66491. I am a big believer in early intervention. – Temple Grandin

66492. I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream. – Temple Grandin

66493. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher. – Temple Grandin

66494. I have been on the same dose of anti-depressants for 15 years, and my nerves still go up and down in cycles; but my nerves are cycling at a lower level than they were before. – Temple Grandin

66495. I know a number of autistic adults that are doing extremely well on Prozac. – Temple Grandin

66496. I use my mind to solve problems and invent things. – Temple Grandin

66497. I like to figure things out and solve problems. – Temple Grandin

66498. I obtain great satisfaction out of using my intellect. – Temple Grandin

66499. I am also a believer in an integrated treatment approach to autism. – Temple Grandin

66500. I will be sad. I’ve gotten very attached to Harry and all that goes on in his world, I guess I’ll just be kind of tasting every bit of it because it will be the last one. – Mary Grandpre

66501. In creating the Harry Potter artwork, I try to bring a certain amount of realism and believability to the characters and setting, but still add an element of wonder and the unknown. – Mary Grandpre

66502. I get to show the reader the essence of the book without giving anything away. – Mary Grandpre

66503. It’s like a candy store for an illustrator, I connected with Harry pretty quickly and loved the way J.K. described everything; she’s such a visually thinking person. You can’t pass that up. – Mary Grandpre

66504. If you can’t explain it, how can you take credit for it? – Harold Grange

66505. A professional player is smarter than a college man. He uses his noodle. He knows what to do and when to do it. He rarely goes up in the air as is the case with most of our college players when they get in a tight place. – Red Grange

66506. Every football player knows when his time is up. – Red Grange

66507. I haven’t seen a new football play since I was in high school. You have just so many holes in a line and you have eleven men playing, and there’s only so many ways you can go through those holes, and those ways have been used for forty, fifty years. – Red Grange

66508. No one ever taught me and I can’t teach anyone. If you can’t explain it, how can you take credit for it? – Red Grange

66509. The only football players in my time were fellows who really loved to play football. They were not in it for the money. There wasn’t much money there. They would have played football for nothing. – Red Grange

66510. The blame for the 9/11 attacks lays squarely and exclusively with the Al-Qaeda network. – Kay Granger

66511. It has been said that a nation reveals its character by the values it upholds. – Kay Granger

66512. Having removed the dictator, the allies have moved to put Iraqis in control of Iraq. Now, as they draft and ratify their Constitution, we will indeed see the character of a new Iraqi nation revealed through the principles it chooses to uphold. – Kay Granger

66513. Bottoms line: terrorists are always at work. – Kay Granger

66514. In responding to a terrorist attack, there are only two choices – take the fight to the enemy or wait until they hit you again. In my estimation, America chose the first. – Kay Granger

66515. Human rights are not a privilege granted by the few, they are a liberty entitled to all, and human rights, by definition, include the rights of all humans, those in the dawn of life, the dusk of life, or the shadows of life. – Kay Granger

66516. When you get to the extremes there is, sometimes, just the need where you have to stand up. – Jennifer Granholm

66517. With Michigan’s economic future on the line, we can’t afford to have our 500 local school districts marching in different directions. Instead, we need a high standards, mandatory curriculum to get all our students on the road to higher education and a good paying job. – Jennifer Granholm

66518. With respect to the environment in our state and our state’s future – in addition to water which is very important here – I think it is crucial for him to make a sincere commitment to energy efficiency, fuel efficiency, by helping us to produce those cars of the future. – Jennifer Granholm

66519. We need, first of all, for there to be accountability, for there to be somebody who is responsible for enforcing standards and holding people’s feet to the fire. – Jennifer Granholm

66520. We have gasoline at $2 a gallon. If that doesn’t drive demand, I don’t know what will. – Jennifer Granholm

66521. We aren’t leveraging this great economic engine, the strongest economy in the world. And yet we have this totally weak response. We import $500 billion a year more in products than we export. – Jennifer Granholm

66522. Well, clearly, for me in the immediate future, it is grappling, like so many other governors are grappling, with the economic woes of these states. We were all hoping to see some federal relief. – Jennifer Granholm

66523. We need to continue to make the case that Michigan is where you ought to be. – Jennifer Granholm

66524. We went to a small lake, Bass Lake. It was beautiful. It was perfectly still when we got there in the morning. The fog was lifting off the water. It was just magical. And we did catch some fish, 13 fish. – Jennifer Granholm

66525. We’re on the cusp, on the brink, of enormous change in this country. – Jennifer Granholm

66526. We’ve got this proposal which has been languishing in the legislature, the Water Legacy Act, which is derived from a Republican task force on protecting the Great Lakes. Yet nothing has been done on it. – Jennifer Granholm

66527. We are taking the steps necessary to be ready to send whatever assistance is requested of us, and we are preparing to receive citizens who seek refuge in our state. – Jennifer Granholm

66528. I am so proud of Michigan’s citizens for the kindness and generosity they have shown in assisting in this endeavor. It is truly heartwarming to see the compassion shown for those in need. – Jennifer Granholm

66529. To compete in a global economy, our students must continue their education beyond high school. To make this expectation a reality, we must give students the tools they need to succeed, including the opportunity to take a college entrance exam. – Jennifer Granholm

66530. A number of us had conversations with the Kerry campaign about what he was going to say about CAFE. What he told us was that he did not want to sacrifice jobs and that he wanted to work with the auto industry to achieve that goal. – Jennifer Granholm

66531. As a state we are so uniquely positioned in so many ways. Our geography, our placement in the country, and our history positions us to be the state that propels energy efficiency as an industry. – Jennifer Granholm

66532. California has a beautiful coastline. It can be a rough coastline. The waves are huge. The rocks are steep. Same thing in Vancouver. It has a beautiful coastline. It’s dramatic. – Jennifer Granholm

66533. California is beautiful to look at, but you can’t be a part of it like you can in Michigan. – Jennifer Granholm

66534. From a reality perspective, I’m sure part of that is true, but this is the largest blackout in U.S. history. If that is not a signal that we have got a problem that needs to be fixed, I don’t know what is. – Jennifer Granholm

66535. I have not made any suggestions about climate change. This is more about blending or shifting the conversation about the environment versus the economy. It’s just such an old, outdated conversation. – Jennifer Granholm

66536. I’ve, we have in this state, like many other states, we’re experiencing an enormous budget deficit that we’re trying to grapple with. But we will have progress despite the deficits. – Jennifer Granholm

66537. If the person at the wheel refuses to ask for directions, it is time for a new driver. – Jennifer Granholm

66538. The whole purpose was to say that it doesn’t have to be a zero sum. It’s not the environment or jobs. You can have both. You can help the auto industry achieve that if you have investment in plants. – Jennifer Granholm

66539. There’s only so far you can go before you say enough is enough. – Jennifer Granholm

66540. There is no reason why, with the huge potential for market out there in the world for fuel-efficient vehicles, we can’t be the cutting edge for change. – Jennifer Granholm

66541. Don’t mistake niceness for weakness. – Jennifer Granholm

66542. There is a gentleness in Michigan that you just can’t replicate. – Jennifer Granholm

66543. If you are going to be progressive, then you have to make progress. And that sometimes depends on breaking a few legs. – Jennifer Granholm

66544. The Clinton administration brought 65 cases from 1995 to 2000 before the World Trade Organization. The Bush administration has brought twelve. Twelve cases. They haven’t even been able to stand up for our jobs. – Jennifer Granholm

66545. The civil unrest of recent days must come to an end, and the healing process must begin for the future of the community. We will provide assistance both in ending the violence and enabling the healing process in Benton Harbor. – Jennifer Granholm

66546. That’s one of the most exciting things about Michigan’s future. We need to, we must capitalize on our alternative-energy vehicles that we can produce right here. – Jennifer Granholm

66547. So we just hope that all of these governors who are grappling will be able to provide the basic services to our citizens and not have to cut things that really are painful. – Jennifer Granholm

66548. Obviously we want to keep the jobs we’ve got. – Jennifer Granholm

66549. If you are tired of partisanship over patriotism, you need to vote for a change in direction. – Jennifer Granholm

66550. For most of the 20th century, we didn’t just enjoy economic success in Michigan, we defined it. Our innovators and entrepreneurs created the world’s most productive companies, and our unions made sure that productivity led to broad middle class prosperity. – Jennifer M. Granholm

66551. Our great history has been that people came to Michigan because you didn’t have to have a college degree to get a good-paying job. Consequently, we have got a larger number of our population that right now are facing outsourcing, et cetera, without higher or advanced degrees. – Jennifer M. Granholm

66552. Every single country that has an auto industry is stepping forward to help that auto industry. Why wouldn’t we help this industry too, because it needs 3.5 million jobs. – Jennifer M. Granholm

66553. Do we want in this nation to lose the backbone of manufacturing in this country? Do we want to be a nation that doesn’t want to manufacture anything? – Jennifer M. Granholm

66554. The problem with the auto industry is layered upon the lack of consumer confidence. People are not buying cars. I don’t care whether they’re or American cars, or international cars. – Jennifer M. Granholm

66555. There’s a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It’s impossible to be mature without having lived. – Amy Grant

66556. If you went to your closet today, would you pull out the same outfit you wore 10 or 15 years ago? You wear feelings and faith differently as well. – Amy Grant

66557. I’m frustrated by something, it’s my fault for exposing myself to it in the first place. The rumor mill always seemed like a grass fire to me. Why walk out in the middle of the field, it’s just going to flame out and go away just like everything else does? – Amy Grant

66558. You have to treat people gently because we’re all in a process. What might seem like a good idea to somebody at 21 is probably not going to seem like a good idea at 50, but you don’t know that until you get there. – Amy Grant

66559. I was taught a lot of Bible at home and had a voracious appetite for reading the Bible. – Amy Grant

66560. I’m not anxious to be anywhere other than where I am right now. – Amy Grant

66561. I can look at the future with anticipation. And it’s comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we’ll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened. – Amy Grant

66562. I’ve found that music allows years to fold like an accordion over each other, so I guess you don’t feel the passage of time as much. – Amy Grant

66563. In the past, when I’d recorded during a break in a tour, it was so easy to sing, because I felt strong. Also, like so many new mothers, I wasn’t getting a lot of sleep, and sleeping is such a huge part of being able to sing. – Amy Grant

66564. It’s human nature to be curious about people, and to be more curious about young people than old people. We want to cheer something on at the same time we want to tear it down. That’s just so normal. – Amy Grant

66565. Life goes by really fast, and it seems that there are times when you’re burying a lot of friends and family. And then there are times that feel really precious and everybody is doing okay. This is one of those times. – Amy Grant

66566. Since I travel so much, it’s always great to be home. There’s nothing like getting to raid my own refrigerator at two in the morning. – Amy Grant

66567. The people I’ve been exposed to have been people of amazing integrity. – Amy Grant

66568. Without black, no color has any depth. But if you mix black with everything, suddenly there’s shadow – no, not just shadow, but fullness. You’ve got to be willing to mix black into your palette if you want to create something that’s real. – Amy Grant

66569. I think that if my kids are completely convinced of God’s unfailing love for them, whether they fail or not, they’ll have confidence to persevere in life. – Amy Grant

66570. The fact of the matter is, when I’m on tour, I’m juggling so hard to keep all the balls in the air that I don’t often get to really enjoy what I’m out there doing. – Amy Grant

66571. But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion. – Amy Grant

66572. I did the best I could, and in some arenas, my best was not good enough. I’ve made some bad choices. – Amy Grant

66573. Anybody who’s ever gone through a hard time – any outsider’s perception, no matter how much information they’re given, they have no idea what the person’s life is like. – Amy Grant

66574. But now it’s kind of a given that a 15-year-old would have a record deal and sell a quarter of a million records. No one’s expecting her to answer any deep theological questions. And I’ll tell you, I was asked some deep theological questions from the git-go. – Amy Grant

66575. But to make a holiday record that involves favorite American songs and then also get to sing about Jesus birth, it just seemed like a real easy, subtle way to combine a couple of things that I love. – Amy Grant

66576. Come Christmas Eve, we usually go to my mom and dad’s. Everybody brings one gift and then we play that game when we all steal it from each other. Some are really cool, others are useful and some are a bit out there. – Amy Grant

66577. Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I’m a good friend or not a good friend. I’m more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That’s just life, whether or not you’re public. – Amy Grant

66578. Do I think all contemporary Christian music is good? No. – Amy Grant

66579. Everybody’s entitled to think whatever they want and to express that, but my personal day-to-day experience does not come into contact with any of those people. – Amy Grant

66580. For me, the backdrop of half the experiences of life includes music. – Amy Grant

66581. I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I’m not necessarily talking about marriage, but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye. – Amy Grant

66582. I feel a part of the congregation. I’ve never had to do special music. The kids sing in the choir. It’s just normal. We’re treated like everybody else. – Amy Grant

66583. I love being with my children. They’re fascinating people. – Amy Grant

66584. I just think people should find the music that helps them through the day and enjoy that. I’ve never felt like, if somebody does or doesn’t like what I’m doing, it’s a morality issue. – Amy Grant

66585. Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it’s not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long. – Amy Grant

66586. I think for a woman, the hardest thing about growing old is becoming invisible. There’s something very front and center about being young. – Amy Grant

66587. Grief is a normal and natural response to loss. It is originally an unlearned feeling process. Keeping grief inside increases your pain. – Anne Grant

66588. Just as the body goes into shock after a physical trauma, so does the human psyche go into shock after the impact of a major loss. – Anne Grant

66589. I will provide friendly and courteous service and will work closely with all departments in the county. I will abide by the Texas Information Act in providing information to the public. – Anne Grant

66590. Grief is a process, not a state. – Anne Grant

66591. Break any problem into, or make any changes in, small increments. – Anne Grant

66592. Grief is perhaps an unknown territory for you. You might feel both helpless and hopeless without a sense of a “map” for the journey. Confusion is the hallmark of a transition. To rebuild both your inner and outer world is a major project. – Anne Grant

66593. Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops. – Cary Grant

66594. Do your job and demand your compensation – but in that order. – Cary Grant

66595. When people tell you how young you look, they are telling you how old you are. – Cary Grant

66596. We have our factory, which is called a stage. We make a product, we color it, we title it and we ship it out in cans. – Cary Grant

66597. To succeed with the opposite sex, tell her you’re impotent. She can’t wait to disprove it. – Cary Grant

66598. My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can. – Cary Grant

66599. My father used to say, ‘Let them see you and not the suit. That should be secondary.’ – Cary Grant

66600. I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me. – Cary Grant

66601. Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant. – Cary Grant

66602. Divorce is a game played by lawyers. – Cary Grant

66603. Ah, beware of snobbery; it is the unwelcome recognition of one’s own past failings. – Cary Grant

66604. I think that making love is the best form of exercise. – Cary Grant

66605. I improve on misquotation. – Cary Grant

66606. The artists realise it will take time. It is an upliftment process. – Eddy Grant

66607. There has never been any proper commitment to marketing these artists and their music. We are not Sony. – Eddy Grant

66608. Women are frightening. If you get to 41 as a man, you’re quite battle-scarred. – Hugh Grant

66609. Neither Elizabeth or I are keen to do a real-life couple on the screen. It’s not very electric. – Hugh Grant

66610. Plus, teaching brings home to you very fast that you actually know nothing. I didn’t realize that before. – Hugh Grant

66611. Strangely enough I’m better on a stage. I love that I feel like I blossom in front of a whole bunch of people. – Hugh Grant

66612. The moral of filmmaking in Britain is that you will be screwed by the weather. – Hugh Grant

66613. The only reason my work seems to be eclectic up to a certain period is because I was a failure as an actor. – Hugh Grant

66614. The reason I turn down 99% of a hundred, I mean a thousand, scripts is because romantic comedies are often very romantic but seldom very funny. – Hugh Grant

66615. The truth is, I’d never seen a Cary Grant film. Since then I have watched his stuff and it’s astounding, but I don’t see any similarity between us. Except for the fact that I’m told he used to wear ladies’ underwear, which is something I also do. – Hugh Grant

66616. Well, you know I have an office, my film offices. So I know that syndrome. I fancy offices, so there must be something wrong with me. Even the window cleaner intrigues me. It’s a very sexy environment. – Hugh Grant

66617. With 2 movies opening this summer, I have no relaxing time at all. Whatever I have is spent in a drunken stupor. – Hugh Grant

66618. You know everyone loves to be the villain. – Hugh Grant

66619. I had Courtney Love’s left bosom out of her dress on my plate in front of me. It was extraordinary. I didn’t know where to look. – Hugh Grant

66620. Most actors really love it, that’s what they want to do. They burn to do it. And so they’ll read a script and think, that’s an interesting part. And because they love acting, that blinds them to the fact that the rest of it is pretentious nonsense, which it very often is. – Hugh Grant

66621. When I think about actors I know, I’d much rather hear about who they’re shagging than what film they’re doing next. – Hugh Grant

66622. I cling to the fantasy that I could have done something more creative. Like actually writing a script, or writing a book. But the awful truth is that I… probably can’t! – Hugh Grant

66623. I’m a laugh tart. I make no secret of that fact. – Hugh Grant

66624. And I particularly like the whole thing of being boss. Boss and employee… It’s the slave quality that I find very alluring. – Hugh Grant

66625. Basically, my life is so boring, it’s embarrassing. – Hugh Grant

66626. But I just know from experience that accent wise, even if you’re an accent genius, crossing the Atlantic is the hardest thing in the world either way. – Hugh Grant

66627. For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that’s just the price of being first sometimes. – Hugh Grant

66628. I don’t have any particular burning desire to go back to being cuddly. Not really. – Hugh Grant

66629. I don’t particularly like babies. I don’t mind them for about four minutes. That’s my max. After that I can’t quite see what everyone’s fussing about. – Hugh Grant

66630. I don’t think there’s much point in putting me a deep, dark, heavy, emotional film because there are people who do it so much better than I do. – Hugh Grant

66631. I find it hard to understand why Scorsese has never called. You know, given the natural menace I bring to the screen. – Hugh Grant

66632. I think that’s the whole point of Bridget Jones. It’s all about that it’s okay to fail. – Hugh Grant

66633. I think maybe in a way it gets worse because you come in with a real reputation and they’ve paid you lots of money and all that. – Hugh Grant

66634. And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It’s incredibly, mind numbingly slow. – Hugh Grant

66635. But when you’re a celebrity, you discover that you’re no longer the pursuer, but the one being pursued. That’s one of the disappointments I have had since becoming a single man. – Hugh Grant

66636. Hope sustains life, but misplaced hope prolongs recessions. – Jim Grant

66637. Lighting is vital. Without that they’ve got nothing. And, of course, color and texture. When they showed me a little piece of Finding Nemo, I said this has got to be the biggest hit. – Joe Grant

66638. They want more production and they want it cheaper. But no matter what happens, the creative idea will be perpetuated by somebody who comes up with a vision. I don’t care if there are three ceos – it takes one guy with an idea. – Joe Grant

66639. Pixar is going in the direction of the early Disney. And it’s also corporate, where they have four or five projects in the works. I don’t want to get into that subject. – Joe Grant

66640. Dali had a good sense of humor – obviously you could tell just looking at him; he was funny. – Joe Grant

66641. Actually, no, but I am close to the people who are working on Chicken Little, and I’m very close to the people over at Pixar. I mean, as far as stories are concerned, almost everything we have could be told that way. – Joe Grant

66642. A simple idea. And the man that worked on it, Mike Gabriel, doubled the value. Beautiful job. I should say triple. We have others like that, but, unfortunately, shorts, which are my favorite approach, are economically of no value. – Joe Grant

66643. What is he? He’s a puppeteer and he’s got a lot of inspiration all around him, and the fact that they can manipulate the expressions now with ease compared to what it used to be. – Joe Grant

66644. Actually, everything has been said in print… it’s a battle of giants and it’s something that Walt would say is none of your business – go right on and create the best you can. – Joe Grant

66645. Kirk is a man, and he loves it. He loves women. – Lee Grant

66646. When I became a director, I wanted to convince a very reluctant Sidney into allowing me to go on the journey of his life. Sidney had gone ahead of every other African American actor. – Lee Grant

66647. You don’t need a love scene to show love. – Lee Grant

66648. What goes on between a father and a son, which is usually such a private matter, is that they are able to be honest with each other, and be honest with me, as a director. It’s just remarkable. – Lee Grant

66649. This is our lives. The way to give it dignity is to tell the truth. – Lee Grant

66650. People break down after a couple of hours. All the defenses go down, and there’s a kind of communication that if I spent 20 years in a living room with one of these people, I would never, never know as much about them as I do in that one day. – Lee Grant

66651. My instinct was that it was Sidney’s childhood in the Bahamas that gave him the fearlessness to fight racism. So this documentary was a kind of rounding out of what had begun in that scene in In the Heat of the Night. – Lee Grant

66652. I’ve been married to one Marxist and one Fascist, and neither one would take the garbage out. – Lee Grant

66653. I know what you go through when you learn someone close to you has died. – Lee Grant

66654. I don’t think I fit the Marilyn Maxwell mode. – Lee Grant

66655. I did my very first film with Kirk in Detective Story when he was the greatest, greatest star in the world. I fell in love with him, had a crush on him then. – Lee Grant

66656. I am proud of Kirk. I think he drums to his own drummer in every way. – Lee Grant

66657. A lot of very, very big stars were going down and not being seen or heard from again. Kirk took a huge chance in putting a blacklisted writer’s name on the screen and somehow or other, he survived it, like he survives everything. – Lee Grant

66658. It’s a very good feeling to be around a man who thinks women are juicy. – Lee Grant

66659. Every actor in the room honored Sidney for being there so many years before. And everybody was so moved to be at a place where history was being made again. It was tangible. – Lee Grant

66660. Islands are known to differ in the food supply available to ground finches, mainly seeds. – Peter R. Grant

66661. The independent role of morphology in mate choice is revealed by the rare instances where the usual association between song and morphology is disrupted. – Peter R. Grant

66662. The process of speciation is completed with the cessation of genetic exchange. – Peter R. Grant

66663. The theory of founder effects does not explain how novel features like plumage traits arise. – Peter R. Grant

66664. Thus mating of females was strictly along the lines of paternal song. – Peter R. Grant

66665. Thus the genetic basis to the origin of bird species is to be sought in the inheritance of adult traits that are subject to natural and sexual selection. – Peter R. Grant

66666. To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life. – Peter R. Grant

66667. The divergence of songs in the new population away from those in the progenitor population would only be prevented if these processes were balanced by repeated immigration and subsequent breeding: song flow. – Peter R. Grant

66668. We observe closely related species in sympatry and infer how they evolved from a common ancestor. – Peter R. Grant

66669. Almost nothing is known from hybridization studies about the inheritance of courtship behavior of females, or of their responsiveness to particular male signals. – Peter R. Grant

66670. Males transmit signals in courtship through behavioral displays. – Peter R. Grant

66671. Plumage features constitute a major component of courtship signals. – Peter R. Grant

66672. Genes that underlie the capacity to receive, use and transmit information are the evolving properties. – Peter R. Grant

66673. Exchange of breeding individuals between two populations tends to homogenize their gene pools. – Peter R. Grant

66674. Evidence of epistasis from hybridization studies is more scarce. – Peter R. Grant

66675. Closely related species of birds are also chromosomally similar. – Peter R. Grant

66676. Species can be recognized by their morphological characteristics and songs. – Peter R. Grant

66677. Anthony Hopkins says you just keep acting. Do it all the time and eventually it will happen. He got his break, after all, by taking a role nobody else wanted. A cannibal! – Richard E. Grant

66678. Time and time again I was told that I would never make the film on time and never make it on budget. That kind of criticism tends to turn me into a great big motor of efficiency. – Richard E. Grant

66679. Proving yourself in a field where the casualty rate is so notoriously high is an ongoing challenge. – Richard E. Grant

66680. Never give up. You only get one life. Go for it! – Richard E. Grant

66681. My father died prematurely at the age of 52 when I was 24, and it is a recurring regret that he never lived to see me succeed beyond university and drama. – Richard E. Grant

66682. Ensure that your script is watertight. If it’s not on the page, it will never magically appear on the screen. – Richard E. Grant

66683. Always have an answer – even if you change your mind five minutes later. – Richard E. Grant

66684. I am drawn to writing and directing as it is most like the feeling I had when I was a teenager with my puppet theatre. You are more in control of everything and involved in every aspect of production, so more challenged and fulfilled. – Richard E. Grant

66685. The value of identity of course is that so often with it comes purpose. – Richard Grant

66686. You finish a movie and you think, there, you’ve done it, really well, or best you can. But if you watch it, you see it was just bollocks. – Richard Grant

66687. You have to look at the discrepancy between what you hoped and imagined and the reality of yourself and all your shortcomings. – Richard Grant

66688. When an actor asks you to read his script, your heart sinks. The number of scripts I’ve been given by actors that are so unbelievably terrible! – Richard Grant

66689. It’s well known that actors are lousy writers. – Richard Grant

66690. If you’re doing well, you’re a target, nobody’s interested in you except how you can be of use to them. – Richard Grant

66691. I loved being asked 2,000 questions a day, storyboarding every move, knowing as though by instinct exactly where the camera had to be, because it was my story. – Richard Grant

66692. Swaziland is a small part of south-east Africa, the last country in the continent to gain its independence. – Richard Grant

66693. I appreciate the fact, and am proud of it, that the attentions I am receiving are intended more for our country than for me personally. – Ulysses S. Grant

66694. Everyone has his superstitions. One of mine has always been when I started to go anywhere, accomplished. – Ulysses S. Grant

66698. I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution. – Ulysses S. Grant

66703. Let us have peace. – Ulysses S. Grant

66704. Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate. – Ulysses S. Grant

66705. The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity. – Ulysses S. Grant

66706. Labor disgraces no man; unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor. – Ulysses S. Grant

66707. There never was a time when, in my opinion, some way could not be found to prevent the drawing of the sword. – Ulysses S. Grant

66714. In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins. – Ulysses S. Grant

66715. The public, hearing pop music, is, without knowing it, also soaking up jazz. – Norman Granz

66716. The record companies are interested in the kind of sales they can get from the rock groups. – Norman Granz

66717. There are many artists that I present that I admit I like less than I do others. But I think that they warrant being presented by my own, personal standards. – Norman Granz

66718. There are very few groups that really stay together. The leaders of groups make enough money to be able to afford to work a maximum of 35-40 weeks a year. – Norman Granz

66719. The history of all big jazz bands shows was, first they played for dancing, and then they played for singing. – Norman Granz

66720. When I was doing jazz concerts in America, I would use the biggest names I could find. – Norman Granz

66722. You will always find a few people in any area that would like things done completely their way. – Norman Granz

66723. To play today in London, next week in Madrid and the week after that in Warsaw is a bit better than playing Newark and Baltimore and Philadelphia. I’ve been doing that for 20 years. – Norman Granz

66724. The economic picture in the States today doesn’t allow for jazz concerts in a tour fashion. People now are too used to the Festival, which gives them more names for the same price. – Norman Granz

66725. Sponsors and networks will really go all out and simply evaluate people on the basis of talent. – Norman Granz

66726. My function at Verve was that of a genuine producer in artists and repertoire. – Norman Granz

66727. In 1958, I decided that I was going to live in Europe permanently. So in 1959 I moved to Lugano, Switzerland. – Norman Granz

66728. If you look at my audiences, even in Europe, they’re hardly teenagers. – Norman Granz

66729. If I were to put on Barbra Streisand and Duke Ellington, one might say the combination isn’t good. – Norman Granz

66730. I’m talking as a professional impresario. I’m not judging anybody at all. – Norman Granz

66731. My juices needed restoring. I needed a sabbatical from the record business. – Norman Granz

66732. I still continue to do at least four concert tours a year, and in many cases, as many as six. – Norman Granz

66733. I don’t say that the supposed Civil Rights development is a myth, but it’s a matter of dealing with reality. It’s purely peripheral and, in many cases, it’s just a facade. – Norman Granz

66734. I don’t think I will ever do any tours again in the United States. I rather think that that’s over with. – Norman Granz

66735. I don’t think that jazz, as any kind of an art form, has any permanence attached to it, apart from the practitioners of it. – Norman Granz

66736. I don’t want to sound as if I’m doing something tremendously special. But I am a jazz fan. – Norman Granz

66737. I don’t know who’s 18 years old today that, 20 years hence, is going to be a jazz fan. – Norman Granz

66738. I made it easier for many artists to play in certain areas. – Norman Granz

66739. Ella can work nightclubs that Duke might not be able to work, because of having the big band. Where they go now is strictly a matter of their own names and talents. – Norman Granz

66741. I find myself more at peace when I live in Europe. – Norman Granz

66742. I allowed artists to play for as long as they felt they could justifiably continue to create. – Norman Granz

66743. Germany is probably the richest country in Western Europe. Yet they wouldn’t take any television with Duke and Ella, their reaction being that people weren’t interested in it. – Norman Granz

66744. Ellington is a writer and arranger, as well as a musician and leader. He does movie sound tracks. – Norman Granz

66745. As long as we’re in a democracy, I have to give what I think the majority of people will enjoy. – Norman Granz

66746. Amsterdam must have more than a million people. But the only area where jazz is really profitable and successful in an economic sense is in Japan. That’s because they haven’t been exposed enough. – Norman Granz

66747. For years, Jazz At The Philharmonic albums were the only ones of their kind. – Norman Granz

66749. The job of a citizen is to keep his mouth open. – Gunter Grass

66750. Even bad books are books and therefore sacred. – Gunter Grass

66751. Art is uncompromising and life is full of compromises. – Gunther Grass

66753. If work and leisure are soon to be subordinated to this one utopian principle – absolute busyness – then utopia and melancholy will come to coincide: an age without conflict will dawn, perpetually busy – and without consciousness. – Gunther Grass

66754. Information networks straddle the world. Nothing remains concealed. But the sheer volume of information dissolves the information. We are unable to take it all in. – Gunther Grass

66755. Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas. – Gunther Grass

66756. We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place. – Gunther Grass

66760. The bottom line is, there have been a lot of nuts elected to the United States Senate. – Charles Grassley

66761. I’ve always considered making it legal for Americans to import their prescription drugs a free-trade issue. Imports create competition and keep domestic industry more responsive to consumers. – Chuck Grassley

66762. If Americans could legally access prescription drugs outside the United States, then drug companies would be forced to re-evaluate their pricing strategy. – Chuck Grassley

66763. Imports create competition and keep domestic industry more responsive to consumers. In the United States, we import everything consumers want. So why not pharmaceuticals? – Chuck Grassley

66764. Someone has to pick up the tab when people get out of repaying their own debts. – Chuck Grassley

66765. The Fed has the ability to put money out, it’s got the ability to take money back in, and if they don’t do that, we will have hyperinflation worse than we had in 1980 and 1981. – Chuck Grassley

66766. We need to make sure parents and coaches are aware of the dangers an on the look-out for the warning signs. Performance enhancing drugs are too damaging to young people for parents and coaches to not be involved. – Chuck Grassley

66767. What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning. – Chuck Grassley

66768. The globalization of the capital market is actually part of economic globalization. This will create a change in the entire world economy, not just restricted to some fields in some countries. – Richard Grasso

66769. This is a basic requirement the meaning of globalization is that we should admit that the economy of each country is dependent on the economy of all the others. – Richard Grasso

66770. Let’s take a timeout. Let’s allow investors the opportunity in a period of market calm to re-examine what’s happened and to deploy new strategies into the marketplace. – Richard Grasso

66771. It should strengthen investors’ confidence. This is done through transparency, high quality financial reports, and a standardized economic market. This is not just for China, but also for the world market as a whole. – Richard Grasso

66772. Our systems are all go. At 9:30 Monday morning trading will resume on both markets, and the message will be given to criminals who foisted this on America that they lost. – Richard Grasso

66773. I loved the Godfather. I thought that was the best interpretation of our life that I’ve ever seen. Godfather I and Godfather II – the other one stunk. – Sammy Gravano

66774. It’s like going into the Senate. You know, the first time you get there, you’re all excited, “My God, how did I ever get here?” Then, about six months later, you say, “How the hell did the rest of them get here?” – Mike Gravel

66775. The entire deaths of Vietnam died in vain. And they’re dying in vain right this very second. And you know what’s worse than a soldier dying in vain? It’s more soldiers dying in vain. That’s what’s worse. – Mike Gravel

66776. I don’t care what people call me, labels have the negative value of making smaller boundaries for people. – Michael Graves

66777. I don’t believe in morality in architecture. – Michael Graves

66778. The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth. – Michael Graves

66779. It was always my goal to ‘up the ante’ on good design and rye devoted much of my career to this. – Michael Graves

66780. In designing hardware to be used every day, it was important to keep both the human aspects and the machine in mind. What looks good also often feels good. – Michael Graves

66781. If I have a style, I am not aware of it. – Michael Graves

66782. I see architecture not as Gropius did, as a moral venture, as truth, but as invention, in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention. – Michael Graves

66783. I have no requirements for a style of architecture. – Michael Graves

66784. In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function. – Michael Graves

66785. I paint to evoke a changing language of symbols, a language with which to remark upon the qualities of our mysterious capacities which direct us toward ultimate reality. – Morris Graves

66786. I paint to rest from the phenomena of the external world-to pronounce and to make notations of its essences with which to verify the inner eye. – Morris Graves

66792. The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he really is very good, in spite of all the people who say he is very good. – Robert Graves

66793. Anthropologists are a connecting link between poets and scientists; though their field-work among primitive peoples has often made them forget the language of science. – Robert Graves

66794. One gets to the heart of the matter by a series of experiences in the same pattern, but in different colors. – Robert Graves

66795. Never use the word ‘audience.’ The very idea of a public, unless the poet is writing for money, seems wrong to me. Poets don’t have an ‘audience’. They’re talking to a single person all the time. – Robert Graves

66796. Marriage, like money, is still with us; and, like money, progressively devalued. – Robert Graves

66797. In love as in sport, the amateur status must be strictly maintained. – Robert Graves

66798. If there’s no money in poetry, neither is there poetry in money. – Robert Graves

66801. To be a poet is a condition rather than a profession. – Robert Graves

66805. We suspect Dr. Clutterbuck’s sense of hearing must be injured: for him the ‘ear trumpet’ magnifies but distorts sound, rendering it less distinct than before. – Robert James Graves

66806. Well, this week for example, I was just in Los Angeles making a documentary for German television on whales. They had tried to get me in England where they missed me. – Wavy Gravy

66807. We are all the same person trying to shake hands with our self. – Wavy Gravy

66808. The 90’s are the 60’s standing on their head. – Wavy Gravy

66811. I am in total ecstasy with where my life is now. – Wavy Gravy

66812. I had 500 kids at camp this past summer for example. We do nine weeks for kids and nine days for grown ups every summer. The adult camp is a lot of fun. – Wavy Gravy

66813. It had an enormous impact to the point of the United Nations passing a resolution against the killing and hunting of these whales as they are an endangered species. This was a documentary on the plight of the whales. – Wavy Gravy

66814. Keep your sense of humor, my friend; if you don’t have a sense of humor it just isn’t funny anymore. – Wavy Gravy

66815. Laughter is the valve on the pressure cooker of life. Either you laugh and suffer, or you got your beans or brains on the ceiling. – Wavy Gravy

66816. Sure, I could of done it different… put my clown in a closet and dressed up in straight clothing. I could of compromised my essence, and swallowed my soul. – Wavy Gravy

66817. And I also thought that Richard Nixon was the greatest political education we have ever had, but it looks like we need to relearn them again. – Wavy Gravy

66818. I always say, dare to struggle, dare to grin. – Wavy Gravy

66838. It was implicitly supposed that every living thing was distinctively plant or animal; that there were real and profound differences between the two, if only they could be seized. – Asa Gray

66839. It was always understood that plants and animals, though completely contrasted in their higher representatives, approached each other very closely in their lower and simpler forms. But they were believed not to blend. – Asa Gray

66840. Your candor is worth everything to your cause. It is refreshing to find a person with a new theory who frankly confesses that he finds difficulties, insurmountable, at least for the present. – Asa Gray

66843. The best opinion now is, that there are multitudinous forms which are not sufficiently differentiated to be distinctively either plant or animal, while, as respects ordinary plants and animals, the difficulty of laying down a definition has become far greater than ever before. – Asa Gray

66844. Some may claim that is it unscientific to speak of the operations of nature as miracles. But the point of the title lies in the paradox of finding so many wonderful things subservient to the rule of law. – Elisha Gray

66845. As to Bell’s talking telegraph, it only creates interest in scientific circles… its commercial values will be limited. – Elisha Gray

66846. I like exercise. I like a healthy body. – Erin Gray

66847. I think I’m in the best place I’ve ever been in so many ways. I’ve just come out of five years of very difficult times for numerous reasons and yet at the same time it’s lead to such growth. It’s very exciting that way. – Erin Gray

66848. Yes. I was the first female colonel. I enjoyed being that kind of role model for young women watching the show. A woman can be a colonel! A woman can be in charge! Those were new ideas then. – Erin Gray

66874. I say that I can’t make anything up. I think of myself as a collage artist. I’m cutting and pasting memories of my life. And I say, I have to live a life in order to tell a life. I would prefer to tell it because telling you’re always in control, you’re like God. – Spalding Gray

66875. I knew I couldn’t live in America and I wasn’t ready to move to Europe so I moved to an island off the coast of America – New York City . – Spalding Gray

66876. I fantasize about going back to high school with the knowledge I have now. I would shine. I would have a good time, I would have a girlfriend. I think that’s where a lot of my pain comes from. I think I never had any teenage years to go back to. – Spalding Gray

66958. Everyone takes surveys. Whoever makes a statement about human behavior has engaged in a survey of some sort. – Andrew Greeley

66959. I don’t think Jesus was an exclusivist. He said, and we believe, that He is the unique representation of God in the world. But that doesn’t mean this is the only way God can work. – Andrew Greeley
