68238. So I plan to prepare thoroughly and have several outfits waiting in the wings in case of inclement weather. – Lisa Guerrero

68251. I’ve always been the only girl in those environments. It’s comfortable for me – I prefer it, actually. – Lisa Guerrero

68267. Sometimes you are being interviewed by someone and you think, if I knew this person they’d be my best friend. Other times you’re being interviewed by a complete jerk. – Judith Guest

68271. With my friends, I don’t feel pressure to be someone other than who I am. – Judith Guest

68272. It’s true that every day away from work requires two more days to get back into it. – Judith Guest

68273. I’m glad I’m successful at it, because it’s allowed me to live very well financially, and give my kids a lot of things. It’s enabled me to do stuff that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to do. But it’s not who I am. – Judith Guest

68274. I think living the blessed life is the luck of the draw. – Judith Guest

68275. I notice when I’m on these trips, I read like mad. It’s the only thing that seems to center me, bring me back to remembering who I am. Or forgetting who I am! – Judith Guest

68276. I can write for a long time on one novel and not get tired. – Judith Guest

68277. I am also working on a couple of short stories for anthologies. This is new to me and I’m enjoying it. – Judith Guest

68278. I’ve never been one to tear the social fabric. – Judith Guest

68279. My success is not who I am. – Judith Guest

68281. Yes, The Persuaders, that was great fun because one of my favourite actors is Roger Moore. – Val Guest

68282. Well, The Day the Earth Caught Fire was a story… I don’t if anybody knows what it is but it was about… in the early days of testing nuclear bombs, that Russia and America happened to test a nuclear bomb at the same moment at different ends of the earth. – Val Guest

68283. We worked solidly for a long time together. George Marriott Edgar and myself. – Val Guest

68284. Oh, yes, we were on location with Another Man’s Poison, which I wrote for Bette Davis. – Val Guest

68285. Now, I’ll tell you something that might interest you. Casino Royale was the first Bond book that Ian Fleming ever wrote. And he couldn’t get anybody to touch it, to publish it – he couldn’t do anything about it at all. Nobody wanted to know. – Val Guest

68286. No, we didn’t shoot… in the ones that I did there were hardly any sex… there were suggestions of sex scenes but we never actually shot a sex scene as such. – Val Guest

68287. I used to write bits and pieces of comedy material for various comics that were at the Windmill… as well as my film job, I was under contract, I was allowed to do that and everything. – Val Guest

68288. I had a terrible job letting me do anything that wasn’t comedy. – Val Guest

68289. I don’t know how we had about eighteen international stars in it, all playing James Bond. – Val Guest

68290. At those times I got into… I suppose you call it a rut. I used to do comedy, comedy, comedy and I suddenly thought I ought to break away from this somehow. – Val Guest

68291. And then she finally said yes. And we have been married, I want you to know, for 51 years. – Val Guest

68292. And he said that he wrote the Bond character based on the character of David Niven. That’s how he saw Bond. – Val Guest

68294. The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall. – Che Guevara

68295. Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel. – Che Guevara

68297. Silence is argument carried out by other means. – Che Guevara

68298. Many will call me an adventurer – and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes. – Che Guevara

68299. I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man. – Che Guevara

68300. I don’t care if I fall as long as someone else picks up my gun and keeps on shooting. – Che Guevara

68301. Then I found books that were written much later, as late as 15 years ago. It was very superficial material, but enough to tell me that the genesis of this story was worth exploring. – Charles Guggenheim

68302. There was a war crimes trial because an American prisoner had been shot trying to escape. He had obviously been recaptured and shot, and that violated the Geneva Convention. – Charles Guggenheim

68303. There would be a paragraph about some veteran digging tunnels for the Germans in a slave labor camp, or something like that. Finally I decided to look it up and go further into it. – Charles Guggenheim

68304. I think he was explicit that it was a slave labor situation, but I was not alarmed at that point, because there were so many tragedies involved in that war. That was the first time I had any indication that something was sort of strange. – Charles Guggenheim

68305. Affairs that depend on many rarely succeed. – Francesco Guicciardini

68306. One who imitates what is bad always goes beyond his model; while one who imitates what is good always comes up short of it. – Francesco Guicciardini

68309. Waste no time with revolutions that do not remove the causes of your complaints but simply change the faces of those in charge. – Francesco Guicciardini

68310. Also we will be carrying food and clothes for the Expedition Two crew. And as well as spare parts for the EVA that will be conducted from the station in the following months. – Umberto Guidoni

68311. I remember; I was 15 years old when Neil Armstrong put feet in the moon. – Umberto Guidoni

68312. I started this whole endeavor really. And at the beginning we had the selection in Italy. And that was pretty much among people that had held previous experience in that particular satellite. So, I was in that, in a good position then. – Umberto Guidoni

68313. I was, I remember, I still remember when the first time I pointed the telescope at the sky and I saw Saturn with the rings. It was a beautiful image. – Umberto Guidoni

68314. In particular, this arm has 7 degrees-of-freedom that makes the overall motion of the arm very complex so that, before you start driving the arm, you should be very familiar with all the position it can get. – Umberto Guidoni

68315. When this space walk will be completed, then the arm will be fully operational and ready for the next activity that will be pretty much the testing, the first flight testing of the space station arm. – Umberto Guidoni

68316. During that space walk there will be some repositioning of the power so that the arm can be fully controlled by the robotic station that is in the Lab. – Umberto Guidoni

68317. But, what we need to get out of the first EVA is to have the arm completely unfolded and powered so that they can keep the temperature under control. That will really the call of the first EVA. – Umberto Guidoni

68318. Well, we have two major goals. The most important one is to get the station arm on board the station, because that’s this really milestone in the space station building since from now on they will be using this arm to continue building the space station. – Umberto Guidoni

68319. And since Italy was involved in the space station as well as signed an agreement with NASA. And when the possibility to enter the 1996 Mission Specialist class. – Umberto Guidoni

68320. For the first time in history all the major countries in the world are pushing together to reach this goal… building something in space that is really for all humankind. – Umberto Guidoni

68321. And not only that but… when the station is completed, there will be an international crew made of astronauts coming from different cultural experiences, speaking different languages, but working together for a common goal. – Umberto Guidoni

68322. And so, I will be probably, since I am not involved in all the activity, I will have some spare time to devote to document all this busy part of the flight. – Umberto Guidoni

68323. And so, in case we have contingencies and things that we cannot accomplish within the duration of the space walk, we have a buffer, I mean, in order to be able to complete the… what we want to accomplish. – Umberto Guidoni

68324. And the first flight of the tether satellite happened in ’92, and I was the backup on that flight. – Umberto Guidoni

68325. And then I graduate two years later, in 1998, with my class. And, since then I’ve been here in Houston for training basically. And I was very happy to be assigned to this mission. – Umberto Guidoni

68326. And then my chance really happened in 1996 when we added the second flight of the tether satellite. – Umberto Guidoni

68327. At that point, there will be the handover between the shuttle arm and the station arm so that the shuttle arm will take the cradle and put it into the cargo bay. – Umberto Guidoni

68328. And just when we were at the end of our design process there was the news that the Italian government and the U.S. government had signed an agreement to fly the first Italian astronaut on that flight. – Umberto Guidoni

68329. I look forward to the end of all this money-making part of the career, to be truthful. – Paul Guilfoyle

68330. Strive to be authentic all the time. That’s sort of my philosophy on life, which applies to acting. – Paul Guilfoyle

68331. You know, dramas are much more expensive to do than say a comedy, so any kind of deficit like that is picked up on when it comes time for them to pick up new shows. – Paul Guilfoyle

68332. Well I think that the mind of a serial killer and the mind of the detectives represent the duality we face as people. – Paul Guilfoyle

68333. The worst acting is about imitation. – Paul Guilfoyle

68334. The real rub is finding that authentic self and it’s not something that’s going to come to you overnight. – Paul Guilfoyle

68335. Some of the best movies made about crime are those where the crime solver can get inside the head of the serial killer, and those are the techniques we use in C.S.I. – Paul Guilfoyle

68336. It isn’t always hard work that does the job. – Paul Guilfoyle

68337. I don’t know what an audience wants to see but I know what I like to see. – Paul Guilfoyle

68340. It’s exciting to think that something I’m involved in is touching so many people in so many cultures. – Paul Guilfoyle

68341. Racism may be as systemic as it always was. It is the great problem of America. It’s the one stumbling block that I don’t believe was ever smoothed over. – Robert Guillaume

68342. I’m never a person who likes anything I’ve done. It’s just the way it is. Twenty years later, I can look at something I did, and I’m still thinking, ‘You know, that could have been better if you had done it this way or that way. – Robert Guillaume

68343. I’m not trying to say that it never hurt or that I never felt its sting, but I can honestly say that I never blamed anybody for racism. I have considered it more of a manifestation of humanity’s problem rather than my personal problem. – Robert Guillaume

68344. My acting ability would have sent me back to the post office. It was my singing that got me jobs. Ironically, now, people think of me as an actor and don’t know me much as a singer. – Robert Guillaume

68345. I’ve certainly experienced racism, but it has not made a great impact on me. I have always thought, as I got older and older, I was more in charge of who I was. What someone thought about me or said about me made less of an impression on me at very vulnerable times. – Robert Guillaume

68346. There is no point to samba if it doesn’t make you smile. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68347. You know, one, two, three, four, five years go by and then Marcos gets a little boring. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68348. What I wonder is what would happen in California, say, if all the Mexicans left from one day to the next? – Alma Guillermoprieto

68349. Well, one of the things I discovered in the course of looking back and writing about what I saw in my memory is that I was a closely observant person long before I became a reporter. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68350. The left is being funded primarily by the drug traffickers who provide this tax money and that’s why the guerrillas in Colombia, unlike the guerrillas anywhere else in Latin America, have been able to survive for 40 years because they have a hard, solid source of income. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68351. The most that somebody in Mexico City will get paid for a job in construction is 100 pesos a day. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68352. Talking in one language and talking in another, I think inevitably, produce two different personalities, as far as I’ve seen in other people. I assume it does the same for me. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68353. So, you know, I always say that I’m a Mexican, but if I had to be a citizen of anywhere else, I’d be a citizen of Manhattan. I feel very much a New Yorker. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68354. One does, after all, take on many of the givens of a society when one takes on its language. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68355. If you’re going to be a myth or want to be a myth, you’d better die young. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68356. I’m an efficient, good, professional reporter. But I also write. And so what I try to do is write about places that I know that I care about intensely and write about them in a way that conveys the fact that I care. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68357. I may not have a practical mind, but it’s very fixated on concrete things. I like detail. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68358. I love food and I love everything involved with food. I love the fun of it. I love restaurants. I love cooking, although I don’t cook very much. I love kitchens. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68359. And, of course, millions of us cross the border to work in US homes and gardens and factories and carpentry shops and restaurants, and if you go to a restaurant pretty much anywhere in the United States, the chances are that the dishes will be washed by a Mexican. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68360. I realized that I had traveled to Havana during what now seems like the childhood of the Cuban Revolution, if you think that Fidel has now been in power for 44 extremely long years. I started looking at the revolution as history, and not as part of the daily news. – Alma Guillermoprieto

68375. It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope. – Ursula K. Le Guin

68376. It had never occurred to me before that music and thinking are so much alike. In fact you could say music is another way of thinking, or maybe thinking is another kind of music. – Ursula K. Le Guin

68377. Inventions have long since reached their limit, and I see no hope for further development. – Ursula K. Le Guin

68378. If you want your writing to be taken seriously, don’t marry and have kids, and above all, don’t die. But if you have to die, commit suicide. They approve of that. – Ursula K. Le Guin

68379. If you see a whole thing – it seems that it’s always beautiful. Planets, lives… But up close a world’s all dirt and rocks. And day to day, life’s a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. – Ursula K. Le Guin

68380. If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic. – Ursula K. Le Guin

68383. Morning comes whether you set the alarm or not. – Ursula K. Le Guin

68386. A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. – Texas Guinan

68389. Gaming is the backbone of Nevada’s economy. – Kenny Guinn

68390. I believe the best service to the child is the service closest to the child, and children who are victims of neglect, abuse, or abandonment must not also be victims of bureaucracy. They deserve our devoted attention, not our divided attention. – Kenny Guinn

68391. Make no mistake about it: Next to parents and families, our teachers are the most important influence in our children’s lives. – Kenny Guinn

68398. Essentially, I’m a small-part actor who’s been lucky enough to play leading roles for most of his life. – Alec Guinness

68400. I’m married, which means that instead of occasionally wondering about men from afar, I actually live with one and can be constantly astounded by the strange male brain. – Cathy Guisewite

68401. The specifics of Cathy?s and my life are different now, but the basic life challenges are exactly the same. – Cathy Guisewite

68402. The specific story line that people have responded to the most has been the horror of bathing suit shopping. – Cathy Guisewite

68403. The relationship between Cathy and Mom in the strip is the one relationship drawn from real life that I have proudly never even tried to disguise. – Cathy Guisewite

68404. The biggest change in my life is that I now have to apologize for being thin. – Cathy Guisewite

68405. Otherwise, my whole career has just been flinging myself at whatever is most overdue first and letting everything else stack up. – Cathy Guisewite

68407. My dog was with me all the time. I talked to my dog. She was my best buddy. I shared all my secrets with her, but I don’t think I every really tried jokes out with the dog. – Cathy Guisewite

68408. Mothers send strips to daughters to make a point. Daughters smack strips down on the breakfast table to make a point. My own mom sometimes cuts a strip out and sends it to me to make sure I understand her. – Cathy Guisewite

68409. In 1976 I wrote a lot about women trying to claim the right to work. – Cathy Guisewite

68410. Imagine my surprise when, after a lifetime of teaching me to keep personal things to myself, Mom insisted my drawings were the start of a comic strip for millions of people to enjoy. – Cathy Guisewite

68411. I’m more financially successful, but it just means the shopping blunders I make are bigger now. – Cathy Guisewite

68413. Cartooning is a wonderful career, and I’d like more women to get to have it. I can’t think of any reason why we won’t see more syndicated female cartoonists in the future. – Cathy Guisewite

68414. A lot of married people certainly have wonderful relationships with their dogs, but when you’re single and your dog is the only other living thing in your house, it’s a really special relationship which I wanted CATHY to have. – Cathy Guisewite

68415. All parents believe their children can do the impossible. They thought it the minute we were born, and no matter how hard we’ve tried to prove them wrong, they all think it about us now. And the really annoying thing is, they’re probably right. – Cathy Guisewite

68416. I’m most proud of having created something that men never completely get. – Cathy Guisewite

68417. Because the majority of my readers are women, I feel that one public service I can provide to them is to spread the message of regular mammograms and early detection within the strip. – Cathy Guisewite

68418. I’d love to see more equal representation of female and male cartoonists on the comics page. – Cathy Guisewite

68419. Cathy was the first widely syndicated humor strip created by a woman. The strip was pretty revolutionary at the time not only because it starred a female, but also because it was so emotionally honest about all the conflicting feelings many women had in 1976. – Cathy Guisewite

68438. The best way to turn a woman’s head is to tell her she has a beautiful profile. – Sacha Guitry

68448. You learn so much from competition you gain confidence every time you have to step up and perform. – Natalie Gulbis

68451. I stopped playing in Jr. events when I was 12 and played women’s. – Natalie Gulbis

68453. I love to be in front of big galleries. – Natalie Gulbis

68454. I have worked hard to improve my consistency in my driving, irons, short game, and putting. – Natalie Gulbis

68466. I hope I’m still alive to see an expedition set off for Mars. – James Gunn

68467. I prefer to bring these to the service of story rather than to let them replace narrative. – James Gunn

68468. In hard-core science fiction in which characters are responding to a change in environment, caused by nature or the universe or technology, what readers want to see is how people cope, and so the character are present to cope, or fail to cope. – James Gunn

68469. It also is true that some ideas naturally work themselves out over a longer period of time than a single human life can encompass. – James Gunn

68470. One should be willing to throw away a dozen ideas to come up with a good one, just as one should throw away a dozen words to come up with the right one. – James Gunn

68471. That certainly is one approach to take. My own is to acknowledge the inner child and try to work with my first fascination with science fiction. I have tried to build on its idea content and narrative drive rather than to discard them. – James Gunn

68472. While I don’t satisfy my curiosity about the way I work, I’m terribly curious about the way other poets work. But I would think that’s true about many of us. – Thom Gunn

68473. There have been two popular subjects for poetry in the last few decades: the Vietnam War and AIDS, about both of which almost all of us have felt deeply. – Thom Gunn

68490. It was difficult being a teacher and out of the closet in the ’50s. By the time I retired, the English department was proud of having a gay poet of a certain minor fame. It was a very satisfactory change! – Thom Gunn

68491. I was much influenced by Jean-Paul Sartre. – Thom Gunn

68492. I was reading the poems of Rochester. Rochester made himself out to be bisexual, but I think that was only to shock. Most of his poetry is sexual, even pornographic. – Thom Gunn

68494. I think most men, heterosexual and homosexual, enjoy being considered sexual objects. – Thom Gunn

68495. I haven’t written anything in four years. I’m sort of dried up. – Thom Gunn

68496. I notice that students, particularly for gay students, it’s too easy to write about my last trick or something. It’s not very interesting to the reader. – Thom Gunn

68497. I had assumed that I would age with all my friends growing old around me, dying off very gradually one by one. And here was a plague that cut them off so early. – Thom Gunn

68501. The first essence of journalism is to know what you want to know, the second, is to find out who will tell you. – John Gunther

68503. There are no generalizations in American politics that vested selfishness cannot cut through. – John Gunther

68504. The last copy of the Chicago Daily News I picked up had three crime stories on its front page. But by comparison to the gaudy days, this is small-time stuff. Chicago is as full of crooks as a saw with teeth, but the era when they ruled the city is gone forever. – John Gunther

68505. Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea. – John Gunther

68506. One travels like a golf ball, hopping from green to green. – John Gunther

68513. If you want to lose your faith, make friends with a priest. – G. I. Gurdjieff

68514. Every ceremony or rite has a value if it is performed without alteration. A ceremony is a book in which a great deal is written. Anyone who understands can read it. One rite often contains more than a hundred books. – G. I. Gurdjieff

68515. A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering. – G. I. Gurdjieff

68516. A “sin” is something which is not necessary. – G. I. Gurdjieff

68517. In properly organized groups no faith is required; what is required is simply a little trust and even that only for a little while, for the sooner a man begins to verify all he hears the better it is for him. – G. I. Gurdjieff

68518. A “sin” is something which is not necessary. – George Gurdjieff

68519. Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he lives his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy. – George Gurdjieff

68529. Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought no to be feared. – David Ben Gurion

68530. Suffering makes a people greater, and we have suffered much. We had a message to give the world, but we were overwhelmed, and the message was cut off in the middle. In time there will be millions of us – becoming stronger and stronger – and we will complete the message. – David Ben Gurion

68532. Thought is a strenuous art – few practice it, and then only at rare times. – David Ben Gurion

68533. Ours is a country built more on people than on territory. The Jews will come from everywhere: from France, from Russia, from America, from Yemen… Their faith is their passport. – David Ben Gurion

68535. Without moral and intellectual independence, there is no anchor for national independence. – David Ben Gurion

68539. Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces. – William Gurnall

68540. In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day; we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ. – William Gurnall

68541. It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves. – William Gurnall

68548. Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious; of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest. – William Gurnall

68561. Freedom goes hand-in-hand with mutual respect. – Kay Rala Xanana Gusmao

68570. I am a night painter, so when I come into the studio the next morning the delirium is over. – Philip Guston

68571. In my experience a painting is not made with colors and paint at all. I don’t know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint? – Philip Guston

68573. Painting seems like some kind of peculiar miracle that I need to have again and again. – Philip Guston

68574. The painting is not on a surface, but on a plane which is imagined. It moves in a mind. It is not there physically at all. It is an illusion, a piece of magic, so that what you see is not what you see. – Philip Guston

68575. I don’t know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint? It might be things, thoughts, a memory, sensations, which have nothing to do directly with painting itself. They can come from anything and anywhere. – Philip Guston

68576. To paint is a possessing rather than a picturing. – Philip Guston

68580. I think of myself as a really happy person. – David Guterson

68586. I’m interested in themes that endure from generation to generation. – David Guterson

68587. I write because something inner and unconscious forces me to. That is the first compulsion. The second is one of ethical and moral duty. I feel responsible to tell stories that inspire readers to consider more deeply who they are. – David Guterson

68588. I was totally absorbed in the real world, the politics, the history, the news, and I just couldn’t find my way into the fictional world… When I finally could return to writing the novel, it was in fits and starts. – David Guterson

68596. Fiction is socially meaningful. – David Guterson

68597. Everybody has a world, and that world is completely hidden until we begin to inquire. As soon as we do, that entire world opens to us and yields itself. And you see how full and complex it is. – David Guterson

68598. Even though I may not intend it when I set out to write the book, these places just emerge as major players in what I’m doing, almost as if they are insisting on it. – David Guterson

68599. Don Quixote is one that comes to mind in comparison to mine, in that they both involve journeys undertaken by older men. That is unusual, because generally the hero of a journey story is very young. – David Guterson

68600. Cities produce in me melancholy or a tension I don’t need. – David Guterson

68601. At one level you’re condemned to the voice you have. But within those confines, you have a certain amount of freedom to range among your possible voices. – David Guterson

68793. On a low-budget film, you don’t have all the luxuries. – Lukas Haas

68794. Material Girls was so different for me, I’d never done a teen movie. – Lukas Haas

68795. I also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be in the same movie as Jack Nicholson and Glenn Close. – Lukas Haas

68796. This was basically the first time I got to act in action scenes, with things blowing up all around me. It sounds corny, but I think every actor would like to – at least once in his or her career – play the person who saves the entire world. – Lukas Haas

68797. I was in Kansas for about a month, and we worked most of the time in a very small town, so it felt like the production basically took the whole town over. In a way, we were the Martians in Kansas. – Lukas Haas

68798. A low budget is uncomfortable. – Lukas Haas

68799. It was a wonderful experience to work with Sylvia. She pushed me to be more powerful with my acting, and she told me scores of the most incredible stories I’ve ever heard. She is amazing. – Lukas Haas

68800. In choosing any role, I ask the same questions: what kind of part is it? is the role challenging? does the director have a vision? is the story moving? etc. – Lukas Haas

68801. The uncertainty of the danger belongs to the essence of terrorism. – Jurgen Habermas

68802. What was new was the symbolic force of the targets struck. The attackers did not just physically cause the highest buildings in Manhattan to collapse; they also destroyed an icon in the household imagery of the American nation. – Jurgen Habermas

68803. Today’s Islamic fundamentalism is also a cover for political motifs. We should not overlook the political motifs we encounter in forms of religious fanaticism. – Jurgen Habermas

68804. The misery in war-torn Afghanistan is reminiscent of images from the Thirty Years’ War. – Jurgen Habermas

68805. The state is in danger of falling into disrepute due to the evidence of its inadequate resources. – Jurgen Habermas

68806. The scenarios of biological or chemical warfare painted in detail by the American media during the months after September 11 only betray the inability of the government to determine the magnitude of the danger. – Jurgen Habermas

68807. Each murder is one too many. – Jurgen Habermas

68808. One never really knows who one’s enemy is. – Jurgen Habermas

68809. Osama bin Laden, the person, more likely serves the function of a stand-in. Compare the new terrorists with partisans or conventional terrorists in Israel. These people often fight in a decentralized manner in small, autonomous units, too. – Jurgen Habermas

68810. Partisans fight on familiar territory with professed political objectives to conquer power. This is what distinguishes them from terrorists. – Jurgen Habermas

68811. Perhaps at a later point important developments will be traced back to September 11. But for now we do not know which of the many scenarios will actually hold in the future. – Jurgen Habermas

68812. Perhaps September 11 could be called the first historic world event in the strictest sense: the impact, the explosion, the slow collapse – a gruesome reality literally took place in front of a global public. – Jurgen Habermas

68813. Since our complex societies are highly susceptible to interferences and accidents, they certainly offer ideal opportunities for a prompt disruption of normal activities. – Jurgen Habermas

68814. Since the intervention in Afghanistan, we suddenly began to notice when, in political discussions, we found ourselves only among Europeans or Israelis. – Jurgen Habermas

68815. Some of those drawn into the holy war had been secular nationalists only a few years before. If one looks at the biographies of these people, remarkable continuities are revealed. – Jurgen Habermas

68816. The clever, albeit fragile, coalition against terrorism brought together by the U.S. government might be able to advance the transition from classical international law to a cosmopolitan order. – Jurgen Habermas

68817. Manhattan… capital of the 20th century, a city that has fascinated me for more than three decades. – Jurgen Habermas

68818. The difference between political terror and ordinary crime becomes clear during the change of regimes, in which former terrorists become well-regarded representatives of their country. – Jurgen Habermas

68819. In the U.S.A. or Europe there is no realistic way to estimate the type, magnitude, or probability of the risk, nor any way to narrow down the potentially affected regions. – Jurgen Habermas

68820. If the September 11 terror attack is supposed to constitute a caesura in world history, it must be able to stand comparison to other events of world historical impact. – Jurgen Habermas

68821. I consider Bush’s decision to call for a war against terrorism a serious mistake. He is elevating these criminals to the status of war enemies, and one cannot lead a war against a network if the term war is to retain any definite meaning. – Jurgen Habermas

68822. I cannot imagine a context that would some day, in some manner, make the monstrous crime of September 11 an understandable or comprehensible political act. – Jurgen Habermas

68823. Historically, terrorism falls in a category different from crimes that concern a criminal court judge. – Jurgen Habermas

68824. From a moral point of view, there is no excuse for terrorist acts, regardless of the motive or the situation under which they are carried out. – Jurgen Habermas

68825. Disappointment over nationalistic authoritarian regimes may have contributed to the fact that today religion offers a new and subjectively more convincing language for old political orientations. – Jurgen Habermas

68826. After September 11, the European governments have completely failed. They are incapable of seeing beyond their own national scope of interests. – Jurgen Habermas

68827. A threatened nation can react to uncertain dangers solely through administrative channels, to the truly embarrassing situation of perhaps overreacting. – Jurgen Habermas

68828. Global terrorism is extreme both in its lack of realistic goals and in its cynical exploitation of the vulnerability of complex systems. – Jurgen Habermas

68829. Instead of the international police action we had hoped for during the war in Kosovo, there are wars again – conducted with state-of-the-art technology, but still in the old style. – Jurgen Habermas

68830. All knowledge is ambiguous. – J. S. Habgood

68831. Movements born in hatred very quickly take on the characteristics of the thing they oppose. – J. S. Habgood

68832. Americans believe that people should work hard and get ahead on their own, but when disaster strikes and they need help with retirement or disability, Americans as a whole should come to their aid. – Jacob Hacker

68833. Even people who feel perfectly comfortable investing in the stock market and owning their own homes often have qualms about individual medical accounts or Social Security private accounts. – Jacob Hacker

68834. Good writing gives energy, whatever it is about. – Marilyn Hacker

68835. I’ve been an inveterate reader of literary magazines since I was a teenager. There are always discoveries. You’re sitting in your easy chair, reading; you realize you’ve read a story or a group of poems four times, and you know, Yes, I want to go farther with this writer. – Marilyn Hacker

68836. I’m addicted to email, but other than that, there are practical things – being able to buy a book on the internet that you can’t find in your local bookshop. This could be a lifeline if you live further from the sources. – Marilyn Hacker

68837. I worked at all kinds of jobs, mostly commercial editing. – Marilyn Hacker

68838. I wonder what it means about American literary culture and its transmission when I consider the number of American poets who earn their living teaching creative writing in universities. I’ve ended up doing that myself. – Marilyn Hacker

68839. I try to write everyday. I do that much better over here than when I’m teaching. I always rewrite, usually fairly close-on which is to say first draft, then put it aside for 24 hours then more drafts. – Marilyn Hacker

68840. I think there is something about coming to a city to work that puts you in touch with it in a different way. – Marilyn Hacker

68841. I started to send my work to journals when I was 26, which was just a question of when I got the courage up. They were mostly journals I had been reading for the previous six or seven years. – Marilyn Hacker

68842. I lived in the studio apartment that I bought for four years before I bought it in 1989, so I was already in it. I began living there in 1985, so I’ve had the same address and phone number since then. – Marilyn Hacker

68843. I have experienced healing through other writers’ poetry, but there’s no way I can sit down to write in the hope a poem will have healing potential. If I do, I’ll write a bad poem. – Marilyn Hacker

68844. I don’t know whether a poem has be there to help to develop something. I think it’s there for itself, for what the reader finds in it. – Marilyn Hacker

68845. Given the devaluation of literature and of the study of foreign languages per se in the United States, as well as the preponderance of theory over text in graduate literature studies, creative writing programs keep literature courses populated. – Marilyn Hacker

68846. Community means people spending time together here, and I don’t think there’s really that. – Marilyn Hacker

68847. As a teacher you are more or less obliged to pay the same amount of attention to everything. That can wear you down. – Marilyn Hacker

68848. Everyone thinks they’re going to write one book of poems or one novel. – Marilyn Hacker

68849. My mother was told she couldn’t go to medical school because she was a woman and a Jew. So she became a teacher in the New York City public school system. – Marilyn Hacker

68850. I don’t think it’s by accident that I was first attracted to translating two French women poets. – Marilyn Hacker

68851. Paris is a wonderful city. I can’t say I belong to an especially anglophone community. – Marilyn Hacker

68852. Perhaps first and foremost is the challenge of taking what I find as a reader and making it into a poem that, primarily, has to be a plausible poem in English. – Marilyn Hacker

68853. Poetry seems to have been eliminated as a literary genre, and installed instead, as a kind of spiritual aerobic exercise – nobody need read it, but anybody can do it. – Marilyn Hacker

68854. The ambiguities of language, both in terms of vocabulary and syntax, are fascinating: how important connotation is, what is lost and what is gained in the linguistic transition. – Marilyn Hacker

68855. The phenomenon of university creative writing programs doesn’t exist in France. The whole idea is regarded as a novelty, or an oddity. – Marilyn Hacker

68856. The pleasure that I take in writing gets me interested in writing a poem. It’s not a statement about what I think anybody else should be doing. For me, it’s an interesting tension between interior and exterior. – Marilyn Hacker

68857. The pull between sound and syntax creates a kind of musical tension in the language that interests me. – Marilyn Hacker

68858. The woman poet must be either a sexless, reclusive eccentric, with nothing to say specifically to women, or a brilliant, tragic, tortured suicide. – Marilyn Hacker

68859. There is a way in which all writing is connected. In a second language, for example, a workshop can liberate the students’ use of the vocabulary they’re acquiring. – Marilyn Hacker

68860. There is something very satisfactory about being in the middle of something. – Marilyn Hacker

68861. Of the individual poems, some are more lyric and some are more descriptive or narrative. Each poem is fixed in a moment. All those moments written or read together take on the movement and architecture of a narrative. – Marilyn Hacker

68862. Clearly, once the student is no longer a student the possibilities of relationship are enlarged. – Marilyn Hacker

68863. Translation is an interestingly different way to be involved both with poetry and with the language that I’ve found myself living in much of the time. I think the two feed each other. – Marilyn Hacker

68864. You are almost not free, if you are teaching a group of graduate students, to become friends with one of them. I don’t mean anything erotically charged, just a friendship. – Marilyn Hacker

68865. When you translate poetry in particular, you’re obliged to look at how the writer with whom you’re working puts together words, sentences, phrases, the triple tension between the line of verse, the syntax and the sentence. – Marilyn Hacker

68866. Translation makes me look at how a poem is put together in a different way, without the personal investment of the poem I’m writing myself, but equally closely technically. – Marilyn Hacker

68867. We sometimes received – and I would read – 200 manuscripts a week. Some of them were wonderful, some were terrible; most were mediocre. It was like the gifts of the good and bad fairies. – Marilyn Hacker

68868. As a child my family’s menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it. – Buddy Hackett

68869. Golf is more fun than walking naked in a strange place, but not much. – Buddy Hackett

68870. I’ve had a few arguments with people, but I never carry a grudge. You know why? While you’re carrying a grudge, they’re out dancing. – Buddy Hackett

68871. I’ve had a good day when I don’t fall out of the cart. – Buddy Hackett

68872. Obviously classical music tends to be stuff that is usually at least a hundred years old. – Steve Hackett

68873. I think that a song, when it works, never mind a piece of long form music, even a song is something that speaks to itself but has a language all of its own, ideally. – Steve Hackett

68874. Religion deals in certainties and philosophy deals more in un-answered questions. – Steve Hackett

68875. These days I can really get the strings to snap if I want. – Steve Hackett

68876. I think that the process of making music is a hard one to describe as well. – Steve Hackett

68877. Love’s stronger than fear and death. – Steve Hackett

68878. It’s funny, when people talk about the 70s I can tell you the year of every album but when it comes to the later efforts I can’t remember the exact years, it’s funny isn’t it? – Steve Hackett

68879. This devil loves mankind because men are going to always make the choice that will send him into ascendancy. He’s been winning the game for a long time. – Taylor Hackford

68880. Music has always been an important thing to me in my life and understand I’ve worked in the music business. – Taylor Hackford

68881. My creative partner is a writer, and he’s got an executive producing credit on this film. We’ve made three films together and I would never underestimate the impact of a writer. – Taylor Hackford

68882. Ray Charles, in his own way, it’s like at the beginning, Ray Charles changed American music, not once but twice. – Taylor Hackford

68883. Russell Crowe is very difficult, but it’s worth it. He’s the real thing. I can tell you this. Russell Crowe was just as difficult before he was an international star as he was afterwards. – Taylor Hackford

68884. Show business is one of those things that people can use to get themselves out of the lower rung of society. – Taylor Hackford

68885. The director’s job should give you a sense of music without drawing attention to itself. – Taylor Hackford

68886. The whole concept of the devil is a metaphor on one level. – Taylor Hackford

68887. We all get paid very, very well, and we have responsibilities. – Taylor Hackford

68888. Well I don’t think I’ve scored my life exclusively to Ray Charles. – Taylor Hackford

68889. When I finish a film, I put it away and I never look at it again. – Taylor Hackford

68890. You’d be surprised how many movie stars still care about the work. – Taylor Hackford

68891. It’s very clearly stated in the film: You make your own choices, and what you’re always fighting is ego. – Taylor Hackford

68892. It’s much easier to work with an unknown. – Taylor Hackford

68893. The SAS is the most elite of the special forces in the world. They are not people who go out and advertise; they keep it inside. They don’t want anybody to know about them. – Taylor Hackford

68894. I make films about working class people. – Taylor Hackford

68895. Look at Walter Huston in The Devil and Daniel Webster: It’s an incredible performance. – Taylor Hackford

68896. And it’s a question of how far we’re willing to go in order to let the ego shine, in order to let that beacon penetrate not only the local scene but the world. – Taylor Hackford

68897. Because when you have millions of people with this kind of need for gratification, and the culture is saying that it’s possible for everyone to satisfy all of their needs and desires all of the time, there are obviously going to be clashes – clashes of ego. – Taylor Hackford

68898. But a writer’s contribution is literary and a film is not literary. When you take that stuff off the page, and cast the people who are going to fit into those roles, that’s what being a director is. – Taylor Hackford

68899. But the process of making a film is not glamorous. Certainly not my films. – Taylor Hackford

68900. But, unfortunately, sometimes that affirmation creates a sense that you deserve special treatment and recognition in areas where you’re not so talented. – Taylor Hackford

68901. I feel very comfortable shooting music, and I think you can see that. – Taylor Hackford

68902. I really believe you can predict when someone has a great attitude, a real well of talent. – Taylor Hackford

68903. I try to get the best performance an actor can give. – Taylor Hackford

68904. I’m not in front of the camera, they are. I encourage them; I build up as much of their confidence and ego as possible. They’ve got to take control; I can’t act it out. – Taylor Hackford

68905. If people are worried about the size of their trailers, I kind of say their priorities are off. – Taylor Hackford

68906. It isn’t glamorous until after the film is finished, and you are at the premiere and getting your picture on the cover of magazines. – Taylor Hackford

68907. An actor has to embody a role. – Taylor Hackford

68908. It was the era of Tab Hunter and Rock Hudson; they all had a certain look. – Taylor Hackford

68909. I also know what looks good before the camera, how to move the camera, and how to get a story on the screen. – Taylor Hackford

68910. Every once in a while, something happens to you that makes you realise that the human race is not quite as bad as it so often seems to be. – Ian Hacking

68911. I have this extraordinary curiosity about all subjects of the natural and human world and the interaction between the physical sciences and the social sciences. – Ian Hacking

68912. Cutting up fowl to predict the future is, if done honestly and with as little interpretation as possible, a kind of randomization. But chicken guts are hard to read and invite flights of fancy or corruption. – Ian Hacking

68913. If you were just intent on killing people you could do better with a bomb made of agricultural fertiliser. – Ian Hacking

68914. Dysfunctional families have sired a number of pretty good actors. – Gene Hackman

68915. I do not like assassins, or men of low character. – Gene Hackman

68916. I was trained to be an actor, not a star. I was trained to play roles, not to deal with fame and agents and lawyers and the press. – Gene Hackman

68917. If I start to become a star, I’ll lose contact with the normal guys I play best. – Gene Hackman

68918. If you look at yourself as a star, you’ve already lost something in the portrayal of any human being. – Gene Hackman

68919. It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on screen. I think of myself, and feel like I’m quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that. – Gene Hackman

68920. The difference between a hero and a coward is one step sideways. – Gene Hackman

68921. Terrorism, too, must be excised wherever it exists, which will take years, and which can’t happen without the total commitment and the everyday involvement of the American people. – David Hackworth

68922. That’s because international Islamic religious fanatics have the same goal as the Axis fascists – the destruction of our way of life. – David Hackworth

68923. That’s what supporting the troops is really all about – making sure American grunts get the right stuff! – David Hackworth

68924. The old saying that war is a racket has taken on an even more shameful meaning. – David Hackworth

68925. Their plan is to return the entire world – not just the Middle East – to the days of the caliphate and either convert all of us so-called infidels into born-again Islamic believers or kill us. – David Hackworth

68926. War is the ultimate reality-based horror show. – David Hackworth

68927. Writing with you is the only thing that keeps me alive. – David Hackworth

68928. Our generals talk a good game about taking care of their grunts, and the majority of our Beltway politicians bay with moralistic fervor about how they, too, support the troops. – David Hackworth

68929. We citizens don’t need to know every detail of every military operation in this new kind of war. Nor should the media tell us and hence our enemy. – David Hackworth

68930. Because our homeland and very survival are once more at stake, the American people can’t afford to treat this new war against terrorism like they did Vietnam. – David Hackworth

68931. Of course, it’s imperative that we stabilize Iraq and quickly reduce our armed role there. – David Hackworth

68932. Modern American war is as easy to script as a B movie. – David Hackworth

68933. It’s human nature to start taking things for granted again when danger isn’t banging loudly on the door. – David Hackworth

68934. In order to drill into young men the need to stay alert and stay alive, I used to punish offenders with my fists, boots and rifle butt, and with stockade time. – David Hackworth

68935. If a policy is wrongheaded, feckless and corrupt, I take it personally and consider it a moral obligation to sound off and not shut up until it’s fixed. – David Hackworth

68936. Grunts on the line, where the enemy wants them dead, still goof off – even knowing that by letting their guard down they might die. – David Hackworth

68937. Fortunately, it’s still not too late to develop a comprehensive global strategy to eliminate our real enemy. – David Hackworth

68938. Our fumbling government’s response since Beirut – during both Republican and Democratic administrations – has been to cut and run, or to flat ignore this growing threat, apparently hoping it would go away. – David Hackworth

68939. Fighting terrorism is not unlike fighting a deadly cancer. It can’t be treated just where it’s visible – every diseased cell in the body must be destroyed. – David Hackworth

68940. The greatest gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination. – Moses Hadas

68941. Thank you for sending me a copy of your book – I’ll waste no time reading it. – Moses Hadas

68942. I have read your book and much like it. – Moses Hadas

68943. The Internet makes it possible for people like me to live the way I do now. Without it, I’d have to be in New York or some other city. I think the Internet is the greatest invention in history after antibiotics. – Jane Haddam

68944. You’ve either got to find a way to make your continuing characters insteresting without making them maudlin or overwrought, or you’ve got to put more emphasis on the suspects. – Jane Haddam

68945. Nobody in real life ever takes me seriously. – Jane Haddam

68946. My husband used to take care of the business part of this, and after he died I found I wasn’t really any good at it. I hate remembering who owes me what and bugging them if they haven’t paid me. – Jane Haddam

68947. Listen to advice. You don’t know how many writer’s conferences I’ve taught at where at least half the audience fights all the conventions of the field. – Jane Haddam

68948. I’ve been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I’ve been an editor on magazines. – Jane Haddam

68949. I was the executive editor on a little magazine called Greek Accent, whose only claim to fame is that its art director went on to be the art director of Discover for many years. – Jane Haddam

68950. I tend to come up with people more than situations – most of my books start with a character. – Jane Haddam

68951. I really hate those books where the murderer turns out to be somebody you never heard of who pops up in the last chapter. – Jane Haddam

68952. Everybody is a True Believer. Everybody has a little nugget they’re convinced of that is the opposite of the nugget on the other side. And they’re convinced it’s fact. – Jane Haddam

68953. I don’t make my own schedule – it’s constructed around my sons’ school schedules. – Jane Haddam

68954. I’d like to write a history, maybe of the Reformation. – Jane Haddam

68955. The deadlines are much, much longer with books. When I was a reporter, a lot of times I’d come in at 8:30 a.m., get an assignment right away, interview somebody, turn the story in by 9:30, and have the finished story in the paper that landed on my desk by noon. – Margaret Haddix

68956. There’s something about each of my books that I’m really proud of, and there’s something about each of my books that I cringe over. – Margaret Haddix

68957. I was lucky enough not to face any required summer reading lists until I went to college. So I still think of summer as the best time to read for fun. – Margaret Haddix

68958. When writing isn’t going well-then the bad thing about being a writer is that I also have the freedom and flexibility to do something badly, and no one else can fix it for me. – Margaret Haddix

68959. I write a book over a period of months or years, and when I’m done with it, usually another year goes by before I see it in print. It’s hard to be patient and wait. – Margaret Haddix

68960. Sometimes I can spend as long revising a manuscript as I spent writing it in the first place. – Margaret Haddix

68961. It’s just so much fun to make up characters, situations, and everything else about a story. I have so much freedom and flexibility to do whatever I want. – Margaret Haddix

68962. I started trying to write when I was in second or third grade. – Margaret Haddix

68963. I think I learned a lot from reading in general – even from reading badly written books. – Margaret Haddix

68964. I loved to read when I was a kid, and as soon as I realized that an actual person got to make up the books I loved so much, I decided that that was the job for me. – Margaret Haddix

68965. I like the fact that kids are willing to be imaginative and go along with me when I’m telling strange tales. – Margaret Haddix

68966. Generally I finish a first draft in 2-6 months, then I set it aside for a while so that when I come back to it I can read it with fresh eyes and figure out how to improve it. – Margaret Haddix

68967. After I’ve sent my revised draft to my agent and editor, they suggest more improvement sand again, this revision phase can take anywhere from a few hours to a few months. – Margaret Haddix

68968. Eventually the bad stuff I’m writing turns into better stuff. Other times, I’ve just walked away from what I was working on, and figured I’d have a better perspective when I came back to it. – Margaret Haddix

68969. I like playing around with the words; I love it when I feel like I’ve picked the exact right word to describe whatever it is I’m trying to describe. – Margaret Haddix

68970. As a kid, I didn’t read a great deal of fiction, and I’ve forgotten most of what I did read. – Mark Haddon

68971. At 20, 25, 30, we begin to realise that the possibilities of escape are getting fewer. We have jobs, children, partners, debts. This is the part of us to which literary fiction speaks. – Mark Haddon

68972. B is for bestseller. – Mark Haddon

68973. Bore children, and they stop reading. There’s no room for self-indulgence or showing off or setting the scene. – Mark Haddon

68974. I started writing books for children because I could illustrate them myself and because, in my innocence, I thought they’d be easier. – Mark Haddon

68975. For me, disability is a way of getting some extremity, some kind of very difficult situation, that throws an interesting light on people. – Mark Haddon

68976. From a good book, I want to be taken to the very edge. I want a glimpse into that outer darkness. – Mark Haddon

68977. I am atheist in a very religious mould. I’m always asking myself the big questions. Where did we come from? Is there a meaning to all of this? When I find myself in church, I edit the hymns as I sing them. – Mark Haddon

68978. I better make the plot good. I wanted to make it grip people on the first page and have a big turning point in the middle, as there is, and construct the whole thing like a roller coaster ride. – Mark Haddon

68979. I don’t mean that literary fiction is better than genre fiction, On the contrary; novels can perform two functions and most perform only one. – Mark Haddon

68980. I don’t remember deciding to become a writer. You decide to become a dentist or a postman. For me, writing is like being gay. You finally admit that this is who you are, you come out and hope that no one runs away. – Mark Haddon

68981. I knew there was a story; once you find a dog with a fork through it, you know there’s a story there. – Mark Haddon

68982. Every life is narrow. Our only escape is not to run away, but to learn to love the people we are and the world in which we find ourselves. – Mark Haddon

68983. Most adults, unlike most children, understand the difference between a book that will hold them spellbound for a rainy Sunday afternoon and a book that will put them in touch with a part of themselves they didn’t even know existed. – Mark Haddon

68984. I think most writers feel like they’re on the outside looking in much of the time. All of us feel, to a certain extent, alienated from the stuff going on around us. – Mark Haddon
