67609. The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime. – Edward Grey
67610. I thought this must be obvious to everyone else, as it seemed obvious to me; and that, if once it became apparent that we were on the edge, all the Great Powers would call a halt and recoil from the abyss. – Edward Grey

67627. I ground my faith upon God’s word, and not upon the church. – Jane Grey

67673. That’s what he was saying, the civil rights movement – judge me for my character, not how black my skin is, not how yellow my skin is, how short I am, how tall or fat or thin; It’s by my character. – Pam Grier

67690. I don’t believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist. – Pam Grier

67708. My view… would be that we are entering upon a new and interim society which is neither capitalist nor socialist, but in which we can achieve central planning without loss of individual initiative, by the mere process of absorbing initiative in the function of planning. – John Grierson
67709. Political conflicts distort and disturb a people’s sense of distinction between matters of importance and matters of urgency. What is vital is disguised by what is merely a matter of well being. – John Grierson
67710. And, consequently, the art of propaganda or public information becomes one of the most powerful forms of directive statesmanship. – John Grierson

67730. Food is my thing, I do not smoke or drink, so food is my vice. – Kathy Griffin
67731. A lot of celebrities, especially when you’re talking about the really big ones, live in what I call the fame bubble. Nobody ever says no to them or challenges them or even teases them. – Kathy Griffin
67732. Have I gone too far? – Kathy Griffin
67733. I actually have to pick and chose stuff that I know I’m going to bomb at. – Kathy Griffin

67760. The beauty about the D-list is that people who are on it probably don’t know they are. – Kathy Griffin
67761. The thing that bums me out about ‘The Real World’ is I don’t want to believe that teenagers are that stupid. – Kathy Griffin

67793. Well, I’ve done a lot of strips since I’ve been here about Zippy and me being in Connecticut. – Bill Griffith
67794. When drugs came around I sampled them just like anybody else but I never became dependent creatively on drugs; like various cartoonists in the underground never did anything if they weren’t stoned, That was the prerequisite for sitting down and drawing. – Bill Griffith
67795. Yes, but personally I was never a big acid head. – Bill Griffith
67796. Zippy accepts chaos as what it is, which is the real order of everything. – Bill Griffith
67797. She encouraged any artistic impulse I had, and my father discouraged any artistic impulse I had. They took out their problems with each other on me and my sister. – Bill Griffith

67814. What I do is draw but if you make an animated feature obviously it takes a whole team of people, and Zippy is my work. I felt that turning it over to a team of people would be wrong. – Bill Griffith
67815. I am fond of depicting the lives of young folks for one thing, and if you have parts for girls or young men, you must absolutely have young people to fill them – that is generally acknowledged now. – D. W. Griffith
67816. I pick out young people and teach them in less time than it would take me to alter the methods of people from the boards, and I get actors who look the parts they have to fill. – D. W. Griffith
67817. It takes two years on the stage for an actor or an actress to learn how to speak correctly and to manage his voice properly, and it takes about ten years to master the subtle art of being able to hold one’s audience. – D. W. Griffith
67818. Now supposing I had the part of a young woman to give out, one that wanted some excellent acting. If I were to go to the stage for my actress I would have to take a matured woman, one who would act splendidly, but who would look too old for the requirements. – D. W. Griffith
67819. Well, I certainly did not think that I could do worse. – D. W. Griffith

67828. You know who helped me a lot? Jane Fonda. She said, Look at how many times I’ve been up and I’ve been down. So don’t worry about anything. – Melanie Griffith
67829. Children enhance you. – Melanie Griffith
67830. Being a good songwriter means paying attention and sticking your hand out the window to catch the song on the way to someone else’s house! – Nanci Griffith
67831. Even though my songs may sound very personal, to me most of them are fiction. It is a great way for me to be able to live a fantasy life as a writer because I get to be someone else, someplace else for three and a half minutes, just like the listener. – Nanci Griffith
67832. I decided it was time to pay tribute to my own songs, to give them the opportunity to mature and be adult. – Nanci Griffith

67836. Journalism is in fact history on the run. – Thomas Griffith
67837. Journalism constructs momentarily arrested equilibriums and gives disorder an implied order. That is already two steps from reality. – Thomas Griffith

67842. It is no longer a question of a Christian going about to convert others to the faith, but of each one being ready to listen to the other and so to grow together in mutual understanding. – Bede Griffiths
67843. God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything. – Bede Griffiths

67845. The inspiration came suddenly again to surrender to the Mother. It was quite unexpected: And so somehow I made a surrender to the Mother. Then I had an experience of overwhelming love. Waves of love sort of flowed into me. – Bede Griffiths
67846. Obedience is detachment from the self. This is the most radical detachment of all. But what is the self? The self is the principle of reason and responsibility in us. It is the root of freedom, it is what makes us men. – Bede Griffiths
67847. I was being called to surrender the very citadel of my self. I was completely in the dark. I did not really know what repentance was or what I was required to repent of. It was indeed the turning point of my life. – Bede Griffiths
67848. I think the Mother is gradually revealing itself to me and taking over. But it is not the Mother alone. It is the Mother and the Father, the male and the female, sort of gradually having their marriage. – Bede Griffiths
67849. I am rediscovering the whole sexual dimension of life at the age of 86, really. And that also means discovering the feminine. So the whole of this dimension, which I had been seeking for a very long time, is now sort of opening itself up to me. – Bede Griffiths
67850. I suddenly saw that all the time it was not I who had been seeking God, but God who had been seeking me. I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God. – Bede Griffiths
67851. Give us a chance to show you that those so-called protective laws to aid women – however well intentioned originally – have become in fact restraints, which keep wife, abandoned wife, and widow alike from supporting her family. – Martha Griffiths
67852. All I want to be is human and American and have all the same rights and I will shut up. – Martha Griffiths
67853. Before I leave this Earth, I would like to know they have given women the same benefits and promotions as men. – Martha Griffiths
67854. I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports. – Rachel Griffiths

67869. I’m so motivated to collaborate with people and help them realize the kind of collective vision. – Rachel Griffiths
67870. I’m quite intuitive about what I pick. Often it’s to do with what I’ve just done and how I’m feeling. – Rachel Griffiths

67872. I’m developing some screenplays at the moment with my Australian producer. – Rachel Griffiths
67873. I think family movies have gotten so rich in this country. – Rachel Griffiths

67878. While this debate today is a belated effort to inform the American people, it is nevertheless an empty gesture. It is time to admit our mistake in Iraq and begin to bring our troops home with honor. – Raul Grijalva
67879. We in this Congress have a choice. The American people have a right to exercise a choice on this issue, as to whether our men and women will continue to fight and die in a war based on deception and fantasy, or to start bringing the troops home. – Raul Grijalva
67880. We cannot shun our values as an immigrant nation. This is a wrong path. And while possibly it is a short-term political victory based on division and based on creating a wedge issue that splits people in this country, it is a long-term defeat for this Nation. – Raul Grijalva
67881. This war of choice in Iraq is undermining the very fabric of American society. – Raul Grijalva

67884. If this Nation really wants to create an effective border security policy, we need to have a debate that includes a discussion about actual solutions to our problems, which means taking all of the political grandstanding and baiting out of the equation. – Raul Grijalva
67885. How many times will this Congress waste time on an issue that a majority of Americans do not want? – Raul Grijalva
67886. Bringing the troops home is necessary not just for the future of Iraq, but also for the people of the United States. We must stop the hemorrhaging of tax dollars that could go to meet our Nation’s vital domestic needs. – Raul Grijalva
67887. The American people have decided that it was a mistake to choose to go to war in Iraq. – Raul Grijalva
67888. No one in this body wants to see terrorism and the rule of force prevail in Iraq. Some on the other side say otherwise, but I believe they know better. – Raul Grijalva

67896. To test a modest man’s modesty do not investigate if he ignores applause, find out if he abides criticism. – Franz Grillparzer
67897. Whoever places his trust into a system will soon be without a home. While you are building your third story, the two lower ones have already been dismantled. – Franz Grillparzer
67898. You even called me stupid in your verse, and I’m almost agreeing, for where stupidity is involved, you are quite an expert, friend. – Franz Grillparzer

67921. We had had several mine disasters where workers, some of the workers were rescued. It was, you know, who was lucky and who weren’t. Some would find the air pockets But, in this one, bam, it was just, everybody was gone and it greatly depressed the state. – Richard Grimes
67922. The business manager was doing fine back in his office while they were out on the line, hungry. And, so they started to see a lot of that and there was, that maybe the leadership had its own cause. More so than the miners, you know, it was like a power struggle. – Richard Grimes
67923. It took about six years to get the Black Lung stuff. It didn’t come just instantly. Sometimes, I see lobby groups, today, upset because they work the whole session and nothing happens. – Richard Grimes
67924. It’s like there was the Union, and then there’s the Union Management. In some of the strikes that I covered when I saw the strike starting to break, wasn’t necessarily when Management was giving in, more so than when the strikers were at odds with the Union Management. – Richard Grimes
67925. The denial of our duty to act in this case is a denial of our right to act; and if we have no right to act, then may we well be termed the white slaves of the North, for like our brethren in bonds, we must seal our lips in silence and despair. – Angelina Grimke

67930. We Abolition Women are turning the world upside down. – Angelina Grimke
67931. The doctrine of blind obedience and unqualified submission to any human power, whether civil or ecclesiastical, is the doctrine of despotism, and ought to have no place among Republicans and Christians. – Angelina Grimke

67944. People recognize me, call me Ron, and ask me questions. It’s really cool and weird as well. – Rupert Grint

67946. The characters in the book grow up with us. My voice has broken as well. – Rupert Grint

67951. Well, before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books. – Rupert Grint
