6205. It’s great to go on your own and discover new things just for yourself, to meet new people and all that. If you’re all on your own, then there is nobody there to guide you and you have to make all the decisions for yourself. It’s quite liberating in a way. – Dido Armstrong
6206. It ain’t ignorance that causes all the trouble in this world. It’s the things people know that ain’t so. – Edwin Armstrong
6207. I could never accept findings based almost exclusively on mathematics. It ain’t ignorance that causes all the trouble in this world. It’s the things people know that ain’t so. – Edwin Armstrong
6208. You can’t help people that don’t want to be helped. – John Armstrong
6209. When you’re doing wrong, you’re gonna think wrong. – John Armstrong
6210. Music exalts each joy, allays each grief, expels diseases, softens every pain, subdues the rage of poison, and the plague. – John Armstrong
6211. Islam is a religion of success. Unlike Christianity, which has as its main image, in the west at least, a man dying in a devastating, disgraceful, helpless death. – Karen Armstrong
6212. There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there’s bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, you have bad religion too. – Karen Armstrong
6213. After I left the convent, for 15 years I was worn out with religion, I wanted nothing whatever to do with it. I felt disgusted with it. If I saw someone reading a religious book on a train, I’d think, how awful. – Karen Armstrong
6214. Mohammed was not an apparent failure. He was a dazzling success, politically as well as spiritually, and Islam went from strength to strength to strength. – Karen Armstrong
6215. At the beginning of the twentieth century, every single leading Muslim intellectual was in love with the west, and wanted their countries to look just like Britain and France. – Karen Armstrong
6216. Compassion is not a popular virtue. – Karen Armstrong
6217. Every fundamentalist movement I’ve studied in Judaism, Christianity and Islam is convinced at some gut, visceral level that secular liberal society wants to wipe out religion. – Karen Armstrong
6218. Fundamentalists are not friends of democracy. And that includes your fundamentalists in the United States. – Karen Armstrong
6219. It’s a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles. – Karen Armstrong
6220. Now I think one of the reasons why religion developed in the way that it did over the centuries was precisely to curb this murderous bent that we have as human beings. – Karen Armstrong
6221. The values of Islam are expressed by Muslims clearly. September 11 changed the world, and put Muslims on the spotlight. – Karen Armstrong

6223. It can’t be any simpler: the farewell is going to be on the Champs-Elysees. – Lance Armstrong
6224. I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire. – Lance Armstrong
6225. If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or Fight Like Hell. – Lance Armstrong
6226. Winning is about heart, not just legs. It’s got to be in the right place. – Lance Armstrong
6227. It’s nice to win. I’ll never win again. I may have to take up golf – take on Tiger. – Lance Armstrong
6228. Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. – Lance Armstrong
6229. Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever. – Lance Armstrong
6230. The riskiest thing you can do is get greedy. – Lance Armstrong
6231. A boo is a lot louder than a cheer. If you have 10 people cheering and one person booing, all you hear is the booing. – Lance Armstrong
6232. Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that’s not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing. – Lance Armstrong
6233. Through my illness I learned rejection. I was written off. That was the moment I thought, Okay, game on. No prisoners. Everybody’s going down. – Lance Armstrong

6235. What we play is life. – Louis Armstrong
6236. You blows who you is. – Louis Armstrong
6237. The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician. – Louis Armstrong
6238. There are some people that if they don’t know, you can’t tell them. – Louis Armstrong
6239. We all do ‘do, re, mi,’ but you have got to find the other notes yourself. – Louis Armstrong
6240. All music is folk music. I ain’t never heard a horse sing a song. – Louis Armstrong
6241. If you have to ask what jazz is, you’ll never know. – Louis Armstrong
6242. Musicians don’t retire; they stop when there’s no more music in them. – Louis Armstrong
6243. The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited. – Neil Armstrong
6244. Yeah, I wasn’t chosen to be first. I was just chosen to command that flight. Circumstance put me in that particular role. That wasn’t planned by anyone. – Neil Armstrong
6245. Well, I think we tried very hard not to be overconfident, because when you get overconfident, that’s when something snaps up and bites you. – Neil Armstrong
6246. We had hundreds of thousands of people all dedicated to doing the perfect job, and I think they did about as well as anyone could ever have expected. – Neil Armstrong
6247. This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. – Neil Armstrong
6248. The one thing I regret was that my work required an enormous amount of my time, and a lot of travel. – Neil Armstrong
6249. If that’s there, I believe that technology will probably step up to their part of it. – Neil Armstrong
6250. I think we’re going to the moon because it’s in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It’s by the nature of his deep inner soul… we’re required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream. – Neil Armstrong
6251. As a boy, because I was born and raised in Ohio, about 60 miles north of Dayton, the legends of the Wrights have been in my memories as long as I can remember. – Neil Armstrong
6252. Geologists have a saying – rocks remember. – Neil Armstrong
6253. Gliders, sail planes, they’re wonderful flying machines. It’s the closest you can come to being a bird. – Neil Armstrong
6254. Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind. – Neil Armstrong
6255. Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed. – Neil Armstrong
6256. I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine. – Neil Armstrong
6257. I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises. – Neil Armstrong
6258. I fully expected that, by the end of the century, we would have achieved substantially more than we actually did. – Neil Armstrong
6259. It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small. – Neil Armstrong
6260. I put up my thumb and it blotted out the planet Earth. – Neil Armstrong
6261. The Eagle has landed. – Neil Armstrong
6262. I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful. – Neil Armstrong
6263. In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand. – Neil Armstrong
6264. It’s a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It’s an interesting place to be. I recommend it. – Neil Armstrong
6265. Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand. – Neil Armstrong
6266. Pilots take no special joy in walking. Pilots like flying. – Neil Armstrong
6267. Research is creating new knowledge. – Neil Armstrong
6268. Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10. – Neil Armstrong
6269. I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work. – Neil Armstrong
6270. If you believe in yourself, if you are without fear, you will also be tolerant, non-aggressive and find love. – Rollo Armstrong
6271. Rest, rest, shall I have not all eternity to rest. – Antoine Arnauld
6272. A single prop that does not look real to an audience can louse you up. The same is true of the smallest flaw in setting up the motivation in a story line. – Desi Arnaz
6273. American people have the ability to laugh at themselves. It is one of the things that makes this country the great country that it is. – Desi Arnaz
6274. An actor who is good at comedy can also be very good at drama, but not necessarily vice versa. – Desi Arnaz
6275. An audience is so important. I would never have had the guts to dub in that big a laugh. – Desi Arnaz
6276. At times we were criticized for doing too much slapstick. I don’t believe in mild comedy, and neither does Lucy. – Desi Arnaz
6277. Drinking intensifies all your pressures and your needs. – Desi Arnaz
6278. Al Jolson was one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived. – Desi Arnaz
6279. When we got married, nobody gave it more than two weeks. There were bets all over the country, with astronomical odds against us. – Desi Arnaz

6281. I learned a lot from Xavier Cugat. – Desi Arnaz

6283. Lucy and I would love furiously and fight furiously. – Desi Arnaz

6286. Nobody bats 500. We all make mistakes. – Desi Arnaz

6288. Since I was very young I have always worked hard at whatever I have had to do. – Desi Arnaz
6289. The success of I Love Lucy is something that happens only once in a lifetime, if you are fortunate enough to have it happen at all. – Desi Arnaz
6290. The way the Army does things is sometimes a little strange. – Desi Arnaz
6291. I had started calling her Lucy shortly after we met; I didn’t like the name Lucille. That’s how our television show was called I Love Lucy, not Lucille. – Desi Arnaz
6292. Lucy is such a perfectionist. – Desi Arnaz
6293. The thing I remember about New York was how little I felt. I arrived with one small bag and $15. – Desi Arnaz
6294. My Latin temper blows up pretty fast, but it goes down just as fast. Maybe that’s why you seldom hear of ulcers in Latin America. – Desi Arnaz
6295. Good things do not come easy. The road is lined with pitfalls. – Desi Arnaz
6296. Failure is the most terrible thing in our business. When we fail, the whole world knows about it. – Desi Arnaz

6299. Women hope men will change after marriage but they don’t; men hope women won’t change but they do. – Bettina Arndt
6300. Nothing that is really good and God-like dies. – Ernst Moritz Arndt
6301. The brave man, indeed, calls himself lord of the land, through his iron, through his blood. – Ernst Moritz Arndt
6302. This truth is a remedy against spiritual pride, namely, that none should account himself better before God than others, though perhaps adorned with greater gifts, and endowments. – Johann Arndt
6303. But since the world, which thou art to strive against, is not without thee, but within thee, it follows, that it is also to be conquered not without, but within thee. – Johann Arndt
6304. Consider then, O man! whether there can be anything more wretched and poor, more naked and miserable, than man when he dies, if he be not clothed with Christ’s righteousness, and enriched in his God. – Johann Arndt
6305. For even these are no less bestowed on him of pure grace, than are righteousness and salvation themselves. – Johann Arndt
6306. It certainly is the duty of every true Christian, to esteem himself a stranger and pilgrim in this world; and as bound to use earthly blessings, not as means of satisfying lust or gratifying wantonness, but of supplying his absolute wants and necessities. – Johann Arndt
6307. Whatever man uses without the fear of God, whatever he applies to the mere gratifying of his flesh, cannot fail to operate as a poison to the soul, however pleasant and salutary it may appear to be to the body. – Johann Arndt
6308. Yet, so far from laboring to know the forbidden tree of worldly pleasures and its various fruits, man gives himself up to a careless and thoughtless state of life, and yields to the lust of the flesh, not considering that this lust is really the forbidden tree. – Johann Arndt
6309. In short, all things that please the natural man in this world, are, to a true Christian, only so many crosses and temptations, allurements of sin and snares of death, that continually exercise his virtue. – Johann Arndt
6310. I’d like to say from the beginning that the 12 years I’ve been coming here, I’ve met unfailing courtesy and cooperation, courtesy from your people and cooperation from the Ministry of Information. – Peter Arnett
6311. I am still in shock and awe at being fired. – Peter Arnett
6312. The first war plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance. Now they are trying to write another war plan. Clearly, the American war planners misjudged the determination of the Iraqi forces. – Peter Arnett
6313. Right-wing media and politicians are looking for any opportunity to be critical of the reporters who are here. Some reporters make judgments, but that is not my style. I present both sides and report what I see with my own eyes. – Peter Arnett
6314. Our reports about civilian casualties here, about the resistance of the Iraqi forces, are going back to the United States. It helps those who oppose the war when you challenge the policy to develop their arguments. – Peter Arnett
6315. President Bush says he is concerned about the Iraqi people, but if Iraqi people are dying in numbers, then American policy will be challenged very strongly. – Peter Arnett
6316. But as a result of that, there was, once the show ended, there was this talk for sort of four, five months about what was going to happen, and if we were going to move to Showtime, and if we were going to be bought by ABC or whatever. – Will Arnett
6317. And then we’ve got Blades of Glory, and we’ve got Brothers Solomon, and I’ve got a script in development with this guy Chuck Martin who used to write on Arrested, and, you know, we have a few things in various stages of development. – Will Arnett
6318. And we… right from moment one, we were always kinda up against the wall a little bit when it came to the future of the show. There were always rumors. – Will Arnett
6319. Because I think a lot of people felt like, ultimately – and this isn’t the first time I’ve said this, so I’ll bore you again with it – but ultimately it was… I think it felt like homework a bit for people. – Will Arnett
6320. It doesn’t look great if you cancel the reigning Best Comedy Program, you know, you’re gonna take a hit from a… from sort of a public relations standpoint. – Will Arnett
6321. But since day one, we’ve always been kinda up against it. So at the end, it’s not surprising that we were kind of led along for so many months and didn’t know what the fate of the show was gonna be. It was… in a weird way, just kind of that was the way it’s always been. – Will Arnett
6322. The show had run its course on the Fox network. – Will Arnett
6323. Look, I get it; you come home, you work hard, and you turn on your TV… You kind of want to escape a little bit and be taken away by something. Our show required you to pay attention, and if that’s not what you wanted to do, then it wasn’t going to be for you, and that’s OK. – Will Arnett
6324. Most shows, you really have to force it. And everybody’s nervous, and the network is nervous, and they’ve all got their notepads out, and they’re all going to give notes on what they think is funny, and everybody’s trying to spin their jokes, and this was so – the script was so good that we didn’t have to really do anything, and it made it so easy for us to do well. – Will Arnett
6325. My first movie was this independent that I did on the Erie Canal in 1995, called Erie, that I don’t know if you could even get, actually with Felicity Huffman. And then from that I did this film that was eventually called The Broken Giant later that fall. And then I kind of started getting into doing pilots. – Will Arnett
6326. Arrested Development opened a lot of doors for me. – Will Arnett
6327. No, Arrested Development was such an amazing experience in every way, and you know it was very unique in that it was a show that received a lot of critical acclaim, and yet we didn’t ever achieve the ratings that we wanted. – Will Arnett
6328. I mean, I gotta say one of the greatest victories on that show was when we got picked up for the back nine of the first season, and they made it a full order. – Will Arnett
6329. There’s a lot of lying and these are people who are incredibly flawed, and not in very sort of empathetic ways, either. Some of the things they do are pretty awful and some of the things they do to each other are pretty awful. – Will Arnett
6330. This pilot, by far, was the best I ever read – and I hope that insults every other pilot I worked on. – Will Arnett
6331. Well, no, I didn’t because I didn’t even know the nominations were coming out. I gotta say, it wasn’t even on my radar. I hadn’t… I hadn’t even thought about it. – Will Arnett
6332. Well, we were never coming back to Fox… that was clear. – Will Arnett
6333. Well, yeah. At a certain point, you’ve got to be really honest with yourself. Like, ‘Why am I doing this? What are my motivations?’ Like, if you get into it because you want to be famous? Then you’ve got a long row to hoe. But if you really feel like it’s a labour of love and it’s something you’re actually legitimately good at, then it’s not that hard to keep plugging away. – Will Arnett
6334. When it sort of finally sets in that you’re not going to be doing that anymore… it’s disappointing. – Will Arnett
6335. Yeah, you know, within the context of TV families, these are pretty unsavory characters. – Will Arnett
6336. And I think that at a certain point, after all the time and all the conjecture and everything that had kind of gone on surrounding this show, I think that Mitch just felt like it was time to let it go. It was best for the show. – Will Arnett
6337. The line that describes the beautiful is elliptical. It has simplicity and constant change. It cannot be described by a compass, and it changes direction at every one of its points. – Rudolf Arnheim
6338. When a system is considered in two different states, the difference in volume or in any other property, between the two states, depends solely upon those states themselves and not upon the manner in which the system may pass from one state to the other. – Rudolf Arnheim
6339. Variety is more than a means of avoiding boredom, since art is more than an entertainment of the senses. – Rudolf Arnheim
6340. Today we no longer regard the universe as the cause of our own undeserved troubles but perhaps, on the contrary, as the last refuge from the mismanagement of our earthly affairs. – Rudolf Arnheim
6341. The rehabilitation of order as a universal principle, however, suggested at the same time that orderliness by itself is not sufficient to account for the nature of organized systems in general or for those created by man in particular. – Rudolf Arnheim
6342. Furthermore, order is a necessary condition for making a structure function. A physical mechanism, be it a team of laborers, the body of an animal, or a machine, can work only if it is in physical order. – Rudolf Arnheim
6343. A system is in equilibrium when the forces constituting it are arranged in such a way as to compensate each other, like the two weights pulling at the arms of a pair of scales. – Rudolf Arnheim
6344. Order is a necessary condition for anything the human mind is to understand. – Rudolf Arnheim
6345. The least touchable object in the world is the eye. – Rudolf Arnheim
6346. Now equilibrium is the very opposite of disorder. – Rudolf Arnheim
6347. Rather than be asked to abandon one’s own heritage and to adapt to the mores of the new country, one was expected to possess a treasure of foreign skills and customs that would enrich the resources of American living. – Rudolf Arnheim
6348. Modem science, then, maintains on the one hand that nature, both organic and inorganic, strives towards a state of order and that man’s actions are governed by the same tendency. – Rudolf Arnheim
6349. Man’s striving for order, of which art is but one manifestation, derives from a similar universal tendency throughout the organic world; it is also paralleled by, and perhaps derived from, the striving towards the state of simplest structure in physical systems. – Rudolf Arnheim
6350. In many instances, order is apprehended first of all by the senses. – Rudolf Arnheim
6351. Good art theory must smell of the studio, although its language should differ from the household talk of painters and sculptors. – Rudolf Arnheim
6352. Entropy theory, on the other hand, is not concerned with the probability of succession in a series of items but with the overall distribution of kinds of items in a given arrangement. – Rudolf Arnheim
6353. Entropy theory is indeed a first attempt to deal with global form; but it has not been dealing with structure. All it says is that a large sum of elements may have properties not found in a smaller sample of them. – Rudolf Arnheim
6354. At one of the annual conventions of the American Society for Aesthetics much confusion arose when the Society for Anesthetics met at the same time in the same hotel. – Rudolf Arnheim
6355. As one gets older, it happens that in the morning one fails to remember the airplane trip to be taken in a few hours or the lecture scheduled for the afternoon. – Rudolf Arnheim
6356. In a land of immigrants, one was not an alien but simply the latest arrival. – Rudolf Arnheim
6357. The foreign accent was a promise, and indeed, all over the country, European imports added spice to the sciences, the arts, and other areas. What one had to give was not considered inferior to what one received. – Rudolf Arnheim
6358. The clarification of visual forms and their organization in integrated patterns as well as the attribution of such forms to suitable objects is one of the most effective training grounds of the young mind. – Rudolf Arnheim
6359. The arts, as a reflection of human existence at its highest, have always and spontaneously lived up to this demand of plenitude. No mature style of art in any culture has ever been simple. – Rudolf Arnheim
6360. The absurd consequences of neglecting structure but using the concept of order just the same are evident if one examines the present terminology of information theory. – Rudolf Arnheim
6361. All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention. – Rudolf Arnheim
6362. Tell me about yourself – your struggles, your dreams, your telephone number. – Peter Arno
6363. I consider your conduct unethical and lousy. – Peter Arno
6364. Only those who look with the eyes of children can lose themselves in the object of their wonder. – Eberhard Arnold
6365. Every child is a thought in the mind of God, and our task is to recognize this thought and help it toward completion. – Eberhard Arnold
6366. Touring is really a pretty lonely business. – Eddy Arnold
6367. This is my seventh decade… and every once in a while I get a hankering to re-visit these songs again… songs with which I have had a great relationship. – Eddy Arnold
6368. I’m trying to sell every audience something; that something is me. – Eddy Arnold
6369. Don’t be afraid to fall flat on your face. – Eddy Arnold
6370. When I finally put my guitar in the case the last time, I want to be remembered just as a singer, not as a country singer or pops singer – just a singer. – Eddy Arnold
6371. Within yourself deliverance must be searched for, because each man makes his own prison. – Edwin Arnold
6372. Sleep – death without dying – living, but not life. – Edwin Arnold
6373. There is no caste in blood. – Edwin Arnold
6374. Although, I am proud of all my Symphonies as they all have something special to say, my particular favourite is the Fifth. As the great Mahler expert Donald Mitchell said that if Mahler had written another Symphony, it would have been my Fifth! – Malcolm Arnold
6375. Music is the social act of communication among people, a gesture of friendship, the strongest there is. – Malcolm Arnold
6376. Although I enjoyed writing Film Music it was always a means to an end, in that it enabled me to keep a wife and family and write my classical music, which has always been my passion. – Malcolm Arnold
6377. The need of expansion is as genuine an instinct in man as the need in a plant for the light, or the need in man himself for going upright. The love of liberty is simply the instinct in man for expansion. – Matthew Arnold
6378. It is so small a thing to have enjoyed the sun, to have lived light in the spring, to have loved, to have thought, to have done. – Matthew Arnold
6379. Waiting for the spark from heaven to fall. – Matthew Arnold
6380. Use your gifts faithfully, and they shall be enlarged; practice what you know, and you shall attain to higher knowledge. – Matthew Arnold
6381. Truth sits upon the lips of dying men. – Matthew Arnold
6382. To have the sense of creative activity is the great happiness and the great proof of being alive. – Matthew Arnold
6383. The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion. – Matthew Arnold
6384. The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light. – Matthew Arnold
6385. It is almost impossible to exaggerate the proneness of the human mind to take miracles as evidence, and to seek for miracles as evidence. – Matthew Arnold
6386. And we forget because we must and not because we will. – Matthew Arnold
6387. Bald as the bare mountain tops are bald, with a baldness full of grandeur. – Matthew Arnold
6388. Because thou must not dream, thou need not despair. – Matthew Arnold
6389. Conduct is three-fourths of our life and its largest concern. – Matthew Arnold
6390. Culture is properly described as the love of perfection; it is a study of perfection. – Matthew Arnold
6391. Culture is to know the best that has been said and thought in the world. – Matthew Arnold
6392. For the creation of a masterwork of literature two powers must concur, the power of the man and the power of the moment, and the man is not enough without the moment. – Matthew Arnold
6393. France, famed in all great arts, in none supreme. – Matthew Arnold

6399. Not a having and a resting, but a growing and becoming, is the character of perfection as culture conceives it. – Matthew Arnold
6400. Our society distributes itself into Barbarians, Philistines and Populace; and America is just ourselves with the Barbarians quite left out, and the Populace nearly. – Matthew Arnold
6401. Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things. – Matthew Arnold

6409. My object will be, if possible, to form Christian men, for Christian boys I can scarcely hope to make. – Thomas Arnold
6410. One’s age should be tranquil, as childhood should be playful. Hard work at either extremity of life seems out of place. At midday the sun may burn, and men labor under it; but the morning and evening should be alike calm and cheerful. – Thomas Arnold
6411. Rather than have it the principal thing in my son’s mind, I would gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament. – Thomas Arnold
6412. Real knowledge, like everything else of value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for, studied for, thought for, and, more that all, must be prayed for. – Thomas Arnold
6413. The difference between one man and another is not mere ability it is energy. – Thomas Arnold
6414. It was from an old friend who thought he was dying. Anyway, he said, ‘Life and death issues don’t come along that often, thank God, so don’t treat everything like it’s life or death. Go easier.’ – Thomas Arnold
6415. The nature of show business is people within the business feel that if someone else fails, they move up a notch. – Tom Arnold

6418. What passes for optimism is most often the effect of an intellectual error. – Raymond Aron
6419. Foreknowledge of the future makes it possible to manipulate both enemies and supporters. – Raymond Aron
6420. At the end of Requiem all I wanted to do was get a DV camera and just do a small film. But then the hunger comes back. – Darren Aronofsky
6421. Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do – every 24 frames of a second. – Darren Aronofsky
6422. As filmmakers, we can show where a person’s mind goes, as opposed to theater, which is more to sit back and watch it. – Darren Aronofsky
6423. When I go to movies I generally want to be taken to another world. – Darren Aronofsky
6424. These wrestlers aren’t organized. They have no union, no pension and no insurance. You meet wrestler after wrestler who sold out Madison Square Garden ten years ago, basically running on fumes today. There’s a lot of drama there. – Darren Aronofsky
6425. To me, watching a movie is like going to an amusement park. My worst fear is making a film that people don’t think is a good ride. – Darren Aronofsky
6426. I was a TV junkie as a kid. I am the Sesame Street generation. – Darren Aronofsky
6427. Casting ethnic characters is a very hard thing to do, but it’s important. It’s also interesting. – Darren Aronofsky
6428. Comic books and graphic novels are a great medium. It’s incredibly underused. – Darren Aronofsky
6429. I couldn’t sleep one night and I was sitting in my office and I realized that I was an independent filmmaker. – Darren Aronofsky
6430. I had some big ups and downs when I was in my 20s and the one thing I learned was, no matter how low it gets, something good will come along – something always comes out of that dark period. – Darren Aronofsky
6431. I hope that Requiem is better than Pi. I hope that Pi is better than my student films, and I’m hoping that I’m getting better as I get older. – Darren Aronofsky
6432. I only want to work with actors that really get it and make it work. I didn’t want it to be a star-driven thing anymore. – Darren Aronofsky
6433. Turning 30 was when my parents both got cancer and were fighting it and beat it, but their mortality started to get to me. Everything wasn’t as hunky-dory like it was. – Darren Aronofsky
6434. I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets. So I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on because then you can never really blame yourself for making the wrong choices. You can always say you’re following your passion. – Darren Aronofsky
6435. There’s always been a lot of pressure and tension on the line. If ‘Pi’ didn’t work out, I have no idea what my career would be. I don’t think I would have gotten another shot at it. If ‘Requiem for a Dream’ didn’t work out, they would have called me a ‘one-hit wonder with a sophomore slump’. – Darren Aronofsky
6436. I’d like to do a lot of different stuff. I think it’s important as a creative person to keep challenging yourself and keep doing new stuff. If you end up trying to repeat yourself it’s death. It just becomes boring and takes the passion out of it. You gotta find stories and characters that you really want to hang out with. – Darren Aronofsky
6437. I’m Godless. I’ve had to make my God, and my God is narrative filmmaking. – Darren Aronofsky
6438. I’m not a comic book guy at all. – Darren Aronofsky
6439. I’ve always wanted to introduce hip-hop filmmaking to film. There’s hip-hop art, dance, music, but there really isn’t hip-hop film. So I was trying to do that. – Darren Aronofsky
6440. If you ask any person on this crew what they think of Hugh Jackman they’ll admit they’ve never seen anything like it. I’ll give him an emotional note and he’ll hit it every time. – Darren Aronofsky
6441. Now there is so much expertise and brainpower it’s hard to be at the cutting edge of what’s cool and not do something that’s totally geeky. – Darren Aronofsky
6442. Right after I did ‘The Fountain,’ I wanted to go make a documentary or something that was less constructed – more natural. I was searching for a project, and sniffing around, ‘The Wrestler’ fit right in. – Darren Aronofsky
6443. I think video games and that stuff should be as violent as possible, but age-appropriate. It should be realistic. When it’s not realistic you run into kids running around shooting people and not realizing the consequences. – Darren Aronofsky
6444. Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother’s womb. – Jean Arp
6445. Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation. – Jean Arp
6446. We learn by our problems. We correct our deficiencies if there are any. – Joe Arpaio
6447. Our planes should be full, which among other things means we have a golden opportunity… to build on the momentum reflected in the financial results we are reporting today. – Gerard Arpey
6448. That doesn’t mean you have to have the lowest costs in the industry to succeed. But you need to make sure the activities and product attributes that increase your costs above the other guy bring in at least that much more in revenue, and hopefully more. – Gerard Arpey
6449. Second, we have to make the most of the strengths we have, the amenities that many of our competitors cannot replicate. But again, those advantages won’t mean much if we don’t do a great job with the basics of our business. – Gerard Arpey
6450. At American Airlines, we have built a business around the love of travel that has lasted three quarters of a century. And I’m pretty sure we’re just getting started. – Gerard Arpey
6451. But I definitely see us playing a major role in St. Louis in the years to come. We already provide service to 95 percent of the markets St. Louis travelers visit the most. And we’re adding capacity in some of the most important markets. – Gerard Arpey
6452. But I don’t think the popularity of flying has diminished a bit. – Gerard Arpey
6453. Despite the painful changes we have had to make, we continue to believe in the St. Louis market. And we are hoping to add flights, in a careful way, as the economics of our business improve and the demands of the traveling public in St. Louis become clear. – Gerard Arpey
6454. First, we have to lower our costs to levels that are more competitive. This will prevent the lower-cost airlines from pushing us out of the markets we want to serve. We’ve made great progress on this front, but we need to keep pushing. – Gerard Arpey
6455. However, the economics of our business continued to deteriorate. We barely escaped bankruptcy a year ago, and in the aftermath of that escape we had to make some even tougher decisions. – Gerard Arpey
6456. I think in just about any business the low cost competitor is always going to have an advantage. – Gerard Arpey
6457. Just to cover the increase in fuel costs over the past two years, American would have had to raise fares nearly $75 per round-trip ticket. During this time period, our average fare increased by only $15. – Gerard Arpey
6458. Markets that don’t work we’re going to step away from. – Gerard Arpey
6459. Our Fly Smart philosophy is about investing only on those points of differentiation that pay for themselves, that earn a revenue premium commensurate with what it costs us to provide that product or service. – Gerard Arpey
6460. We need to take excellent care of our customers, and do so at a profit. – Gerard Arpey
6461. The executive moves we are announcing today will strengthen American for the long-term future and reflect well on the depth of the Company’s management team. – Gerard Arpey
6462. These are times of unprecedented challenge and change in the airline industry, and the appointments we are announcing today will put American in an even stronger position to continue the substantial progress that has already been made under the tenets of our Turnaround Plan. – Gerard Arpey
6463. This airline is grateful for his extensive contributions and we will miss his friendship and support. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Casey family on its personal loss. – Gerard Arpey
6464. We continued the hard work of integrating TWA, because at that time we still thought an efficient connecting hub in St. Louis could be a profitable addition to our network. – Gerard Arpey
6465. We have, unlike many of our competitors, continued to meet our various financial obligations. – Gerard Arpey
6466. One of our most difficult realizations was that – in the course of two years – a connecting hub in St. Louis had gone from something we thought we needed to something we could no longer afford. – Gerard Arpey
6467. Yeah, I definitely wanted to do a kids’ movie because I have a kid. I want to do things that my daughter can see soon – when she is old enough to know what a movie is. – David Arquette
6468. The first horror film I remember seeing in the theatre was Halloween and from the first scene when the kid puts on the mask and it is his POV, I was hooked. – David Arquette
6469. I don’t have a goal but I just want to work on movies that I really like. – Patricia Arquette
6470. I grew up in a hippie commune so I have a real hippie part of me. – Patricia Arquette
6471. I liked the premise of this material. I love the marriage relationship. They kind of keep each other honest, and they enjoy each other’s sense of humor. Kind of a sexy but boring relationship. – Patricia Arquette
6472. Neither of us entered marriage thinking it wouldn’t be a strain. Life has strains in it, and he’s the person I want to strain with. – Patricia Arquette
6473. We all have our own little thing, I think. – Patricia Arquette
6474. It’s so hard to be a mother and to also want to practice your art. – Rosanna Arquette
6475. There will always be some kid who’s the new Kurt Cobain writing great lyrics and singing from his soul. The problem is they’re not marketing that anymore or putting it out there. – Rosanna Arquette
6476. There’s no way I’m going to put this kid in the movies, because of the rejection. It’s so hard as an adult, so why set her up to feel that bad as a child? – Rosanna Arquette
6477. It’s not fair the emphasis put on beauty, or on sexuality. – Rosanna Arquette
6478. Art is such an important part of our culture. – Rosanna Arquette
6479. Criticism really used to hurt me. Most of these critics are usually frustrated artists, and they criticise other people’s art because they can’t do it themselves. It’s a really disgusting job. They must feel horrible inside. – Rosanna Arquette
6480. Fortunately, we have a lot of really smart women in the business. – Rosanna Arquette
6481. I do resent that when you’re in the most cool, powerful time of your life, which is your 40s, you’re put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they’re older. So it’s a drag that we’re not allowed to age. – Rosanna Arquette
6482. I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me. – Rosanna Arquette
6483. I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that’s true in any of the arts. – Rosanna Arquette
6484. I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked. – Rosanna Arquette
6485. It’s so hard to keep everything balanced in life. – Rosanna Arquette
6486. It’s not fair that there aren’t very many juicy or varied roles for women. – Rosanna Arquette
6487. Music used to change people’s minds – and it still changes mine. – Rosanna Arquette
6488. It’s so hard to have relationships when there is so much scrutiny. – Rosanna Arquette
6489. It’s unfortunate that music has become such big business. – Rosanna Arquette
6490. Look, it’s to the point where kids are getting Botox. It’s insane. We’re not allowed to age. – Rosanna Arquette
6491. Men want girls. Most men want little girls. They want them in film. They want to look at them. That’s all they want. An evolved man is not going to look that way. – Rosanna Arquette
6492. Most men are not that evolved. – Rosanna Arquette
6493. In Hollywood there are a lot of very insecure men running the business. – Rosanna Arquette
6494. Since in music we deal with notes, not words, with chords, with transitions, with color and expression, the musical meaning always based on those notes as written and nothing else – has to be divined. – Claude Arrau
6495. An interpreter must give his blood to the work interpreted. – Claude Arrau
6496. Our enemies are Medes and Persians, men who for centuries have lived soft and luxurious lives; we of Macedon for generations past have been trained in the hard school of danger and war. Above all, we are free men, and they are slaves. – Arrian
6497. They must therefore not spoil Alexander’s undertaking, especially when they were almost at the close of their toils, and were, moreover, no longer in any difficulty about provisions on their coasting cruise. – Arrian
6498. They, astounded at the flash of the armor, and the swiftness of the charge, and attacked by showers of arrows and missiles, half naked as they were, never stopped to resist but gave way. – Arrian
6499. In 1963 and later papers, I pointed out that the special market characteristics of medical care and medical insurance could be explained by reference to differences in information among the parties involved. – Kenneth Joseph Arrow
6500. My assignment was exclusively in the research field, and my first published paper, On the Optimal Use of Winds for Flight Planning, was the outgrowth of that work. – Kenneth Joseph Arrow
6501. My graduate study was interrupted, like that of many others, by World War II. – Kenneth Joseph Arrow
6502. My research, even before 1972, moved in directions beyond those cited for the Nobel Memorial Prize. Most of it, in one way or another, deals with information as an economic variable, both as to its production and as to its use. – Kenneth Joseph Arrow
6503. My undergraduate education, at the City College in New York, was made possible only by the existence of that excellent free institution and the financial sacrifices of my parents. – Kenneth Joseph Arrow
6504. In the time one is given, the steward must make the most of the talents one is given by the Lord. – Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

6511. Now I ask you to make your sacrifice. Take a gamble. I took the plunge and I’m glad of it. – Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
6512. While there’s been much progress on terrorism, there’s still much work to do and it is very important that the countries work together in order to address this threat together. – Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
6513. We have the hardest working people in the world, the most adaptable and the most congenial to employ. – Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
6514. Those who live, live off the dead. – Antonin Artaud
6515. So long as we have failed to eliminate any of the causes of human despair, we do not have the right to try to eliminate those means by which man tries to cleanse himself of despair. – Antonin Artaud

6519. Don’t tire yourself more than need be, even at the price of founding a culture on the fatigue of your bones. – Antonin Artaud
6520. Hell is of this world and there are men who are unhappy escapees from hell, escapees destined ETERNALLY to reenact their escape. – Antonin Artaud
6521. I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the obsession of suicide, but I know that each conversation with a psychiatrist, every morning at the time of his visit, made me want to hang myself, realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat. – Antonin Artaud
6522. It is not opium which makes me work but its absence, and in order for me to feel its absence it must from time to time be present. – Antonin Artaud
6523. There is in every madman a misunderstood genius whose idea, shining in his head, frightened people, and for whom delirium was the only solution to the strangulation that life had prepared for him. – Antonin Artaud
6524. We must wash literature off ourselves. We want to be men above all, to be human. – Antonin Artaud
6525. When we speak the word “life,” it must be understood we are not referring to life as we know it from its surface of fact, but to that fragile, fluctuating center which forms never reach. – Antonin Artaud
6526. Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others. – Antonin Artaud
6527. I’m looking at working with people I get on with, that respect me, that don’t just see me as a piece of ass. Which I have experienced as well. I’ve nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don’t want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do. – Gemma Arterton
6528. My mother, she had a very good attitude toward money. I’m very grateful for the fact that we had to learn to save. I used to get like 50 pence a week, and I’d save it for like five months. And then I’d spend it on Christmas presents. I’d save up like eight pounds. It’s nothing, but we did that. – Gemma Arterton
6529. I can’t imagine working without and audience. – Bea Arthur
6530. PETA has a proven track record of success. Each victory PETA wins for the animals is a stepping stone upon which we build a more compassionate world for all beings – and we will never give up our fight until all animals are treated with respect and kindness. – Bea Arthur
6531. Making lasting gifts for animals in our estate plans is perhaps the single most important thing we can do to ensure animals have the strongest possible voice for their protection. – Bea Arthur

6533. I’m not playing a role. I’m being myself, whatever the hell that is. – Bea Arthur
6534. I’d never even been to Wrigley Field. I never even enjoyed baseball that much, but I loved being there, the crowd was lovely, and they all sang with me! – Bea Arthur
6535. I… was not too happy to suddenly take on this public role thrust upon me. They just assumed I was the Joan of Arc of the women’s movement. And I wasn’t at all. It put a lot of unnecessary pressure on me. – Bea Arthur
6536. I suddenly realized that comedy, for me, was just being honest, and playing it for real. I’ve seen so many wonderful actors who turn into creatures from another planet when they’re told they are supposed to be playing comedy. – Bea Arthur
6537. You know, I spend most of my life turning things down. There’s a lot of crap out there. – Bea Arthur
6538. I feel I’m an actress who sings a bit. – Bea Arthur
6539. No fruit. No veggie. – Bea Arthur
6540. But that’s one of the nice things about doing a stage show, if something doesn’t work out, you have the luxury of working on it over time. – Bea Arthur

6542. I really cut my teeth on off-off-off Broadway shows. – Bea Arthur
6543. Lucy was lovely. – Bea Arthur

6552. You know the problem, we don’t want to believe what we know. – Yann Arthus-Bertrand
6553. One fifth of human kind depend on fish to live. Today now 70 percent of the fish stock are over-exploited. According to FAO if we don’t change our system of fishing the main sea resources will be gone in 2050. We don’t want to believe what we know. – Yann Arthus-Bertrand
6554. My soul is more at rest from the tempter when I am busily employed. – Francis Asbury
6555. We should so work as if we were to be saved by our works; and so rely on Jesus Christ, as if we did no works. – Francis Asbury

6557. The sword conquered for a while, but the spirit conquers for ever! – Sholem Asch
6558. An illness is like a journey into a far country; it sifts all one’s experience and removes it to a point so remote that it appears like a vision. – Sholem Asch
6559. Writing comes more easily if you have something to say. – Sholem Asch
6560. Mark all mathematical heads which be wholly and only bent on these sciences, how solitary they be themselves, how unfit to live with others, how unapt to serve the world. – Roger Ascham

6562. Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty. – Roger Ascham
6563. By experience we find out a short way by a long wandering. – Roger Ascham

6565. To speak as the common people do, to think as wise men do is style. – Roger Ascham
6566. In our fathers’ time nothing was read but books of feigned chivalry, wherein a man by reading should be led to none other end, but only to manslaughter and bawdry. – Roger Ascham
6567. He that will write well in any tongue, must follow this counsel of Aristotle, to speak as the common people do, to think as wise men do: and so should every man understand him, and the judgment of wise men allow him. – Roger Ascham

6577. Criticize the act, not the person. – Mary Kay Ash
6578. Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve. – Mary Kay Ash
6579. Central banks don’t have divine wisdom. They try to do the best analysis they can and must be prepared to stand or fall by the quality of that analysis. – Mary Kay Ash
6580. People are definitely a company’s greatest asset. It doesn’t make any difference whether the product is cars or cosmetics. A company is only as good as the people it keeps. – Mary Kay Ash

6597. We treat our people like royalty. If you honor and serve the people who work for you, they will honor and serve you. – Mary Kay Ash
6598. We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don’t know where you’re aiming, you don’t have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared. – Mary Kay Ash
6599. Every silver lining has a cloud. – Mary Kay Ash

6661. It would be a foolish high representative who worked that way. – Paddy Ashdown

6690. I guess I started too early because I just thought it was something fun to do. – Arthur Ashe
6691. I have always drawn strength from being close to home. – Arthur Ashe

6706. We get a lot of overseas people wanting to order cakes. – Jane Asher

6717. The best music of any era lasts well, I think. – Peter Asher

6730. I had not picked up a tennis racket in 15 years, so I tried. – Matthew Ashford

6732. I draw whatever hits me. – Matthew Ashford
6733. All the writers and producers around us that gave us the environment where we could play. They were able to provide us with a place where we could take chances to play with things, go against the grain and do things that people don’t always do. – Matthew Ashford
6734. I played a lot of character parts in school. – Matthew Ashford
6735. After doing this, going away, trying other things and working on other shows, this character, and working within Days of Our Lives, has been one of the most enjoyable experiences in my career. – Matthew Ashford

6738. What’s the point of being negative or fearful? We can’t control it. – Matthew Ashford
6739. The fact is, it was a big show. We were a part of that show. Everybody watches for different reasons. There were some people who were tuning in that day to see what was going on with other characters. – Matthew Ashford
6740. Obviously, you check tht she’s safe, she’s clean, got all the fingers and toes, like that’s going to help them through life. It’ll help them walk, but you can’t pull them out and check their IQ or anything. – Matthew Ashford
6741. Melissa and I have the best working relationship, and we feel that Jack and Jennifer have so much more to do. – Matthew Ashford
6742. It’s very easy for me to laugh at myself and laugh at life. – Matthew Ashford
6743. It’s a rare thing to find somebody you can work with, work off of, and have fun with. – Matthew Ashford
6744. It ended up being a very good thing, because they finally started writing for the character, and I realized that you have to go to work with a purpose. I learned from the experience and then moved on. – Matthew Ashford
6745. It confirms for me that we did something on Days that meant something. We had our ups and downs, but Missy and I and some of the other actors, created something that was really memorable. – Matthew Ashford
6746. I was prepared for the theatre, but not for the nuts and bolts. – Matthew Ashford
6747. I don’t know if Jim was a major part of that or not. He is one of a small group of real storytellers. He has enormous imagination and ability to write. I’m glad he’s coming back. It’s going to be good for the show. – Matthew Ashford
6748. In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes. – Elizabeth Ashley

6752. I think that by and large chess players have been very kind. Like I said there have been a few incidents, but they certainly didn’t serve to bring me down any. – Maurice Ashley
6753. His tenacity is unmatched in my opinion. Incredible how someone could have suffered that long and come back out of prison with such a good heart and positive things to say and do. – Maurice Ashley
6754. He actually came up to me and we started speaking. And from that conversation we were able to come to a meeting of the minds and it seemed as if it was clear to me that he wanted to do similar things to what I wanted to do. – Maurice Ashley
6755. Well, I’m still looking for Maurice Ashley. My essential qualities. I think that more than anything, I try to do the right thing, I think about doing the right thing. – Maurice Ashley
6756. I see myself more as an ambassador of the game. And I hope to bring chess to a higher level in the United States. Making bigger tournaments, more interesting events. Making it a respectable profession for young people to be able to pursue in the future. – Maurice Ashley
6757. I let my game do the talking. I’ve had incidents like that but when I compare my own story to the stories that have happened forty or fifty years ago particularly to Jackie Robinson for example. – Maurice Ashley
6758. I have to say that I got off very easy. There were incidents. – Maurice Ashley
6759. I was interested in opera and it seemed to me that the only possible theatre for contemporary opera would be television. So I started working towards a kind of television kind of opera. – Robert Ashley

6777. The snow continues with high winds we remain at this camp to day in consequence of the weather. – William Henry Ashley

6827. When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself. – Isaac Asimov
6828. Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. – Isaac Asimov
6829. To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today. – Isaac Asimov
6830. To insult someone we call him “bestial.” For deliberate cruelty and nature, “human” might be the greater insult. – Isaac Asimov
6831. Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. – Isaac Asimov
6832. There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere. – Isaac Asimov
6833. The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing. – Isaac Asimov
6834. The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. – Isaac Asimov
6835. The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’ but ‘That’s funny…’ – Isaac Asimov
6836. Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers. – Isaac Asimov
6837. Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. – Isaac Asimov

6839. If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them. – Isaac Asimov
6840. It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. – Isaac Asimov
6841. I write for the same reason I breathe – because if I didn’t, I would die. – Isaac Asimov
6842. And above all things, never think that you’re not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning. – Isaac Asimov
6843. I don’t believe in personal immortality; the only way I expect to have some version of such a thing is through my books. – Isaac Asimov
6844. I don’t believe in an afterlife, so I don’t have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse. – Isaac Asimov
6845. I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. – Isaac Asimov
6846. I am not a speed reader. I am a speed understander. – Isaac Asimov
6847. Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition. – Isaac Asimov
6848. He had read much, if one considers his long life; but his contemplation was much more than his reading. He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men. – Isaac Asimov
6849. A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. – Isaac Asimov
6850. If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster. – Isaac Asimov
6851. All sorts of computer errors are now turning up. You’d be surprised to know the number of doctors who claim they are treating pregnant men. – Isaac Asimov
6852. From my close observation of writers… they fall into two groups: 1) those who bleed copiously and visibly at any bad review, and 2) those who bleed copiously and secretly at any bad review. – Isaac Asimov
6853. It is not only the living who are killed in war. – Isaac Asimov
6854. It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety. – Isaac Asimov
6855. It takes more than capital to swing business. You’ve got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by – Advertising, Initiative, and Dynamics. – Isaac Asimov
6856. John Dalton’s records, carefully preserved for a century, were destroyed during the World War II bombing of Manchester. It is not only the living who are killed in war. – Isaac Asimov
6857. Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome. – Isaac Asimov
6858. Meanwhile, fears of universal disaster sank to an all time low over the world. – Isaac Asimov
6859. Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right. – Isaac Asimov
6860. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. – Isaac Asimov
6861. Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest. – Isaac Asimov
6862. People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. – Isaac Asimov
6863. Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not. – Isaac Asimov
6864. Dalton’s records, carefully preserved for a century, were destroyed during the World War II bombing of Manchester. It is not only the living who are killed in war. – Isaac Asimov
6865. It was one of the great chances in my life to become a Dumont actor. – Leon Askin
6866. We wanted to bring the political situation in Austria on stage. Naturally we could not do that without pointing to Austrian’s northern neighbor Germany. – Leon Askin
6867. Unfortunately I put the opening date on the 5th of December 1941 and on the 7th of December the Japanese bombarded Pearl Harbour. My dream of a theater in Washington D.C. came to a prompt end. – Leon Askin
6868. To be a Dumont actor was considered to be a great honor for an actor, yet it also had its disadvantages. – Leon Askin
6869. My father was an ardent socialist for many years. – Leon Askin
6870. It is a great deal of difference to receive an honorary title or a title in his profession. – Leon Askin
6871. In the morning we received some very thin coffee. For lunch we had potato soup with a few pieces of meat in it, in the evening we had a very thin meat soup with some potatoes in it. – Leon Askin
6872. I was put in the Air Corps. I was never educated to serve in the military, but soon my activities in the American Air Corps became very interesting to me. – Leon Askin
6873. From that moment on I knew my profession in life was and has remained until today an actor’s life. – Leon Askin
6874. Especially for my father it was a great change. He used to be a socialist and even a member of the socialist party. But then he became an orthodox Jew. – Leon Askin
6875. Directors and producers were afraid of a Dumont actor while at the same time they admired him. – Leon Askin
6876. At the end of my life, I have achieved belated fame and recognition in the city of my birth. – Leon Askin
6877. A Dumont actor was considered to be too stilted – the way we Dumont actors used to speak. – Leon Askin
6878. 1988 I also received from the city of Vienna the cross of honour for art and science. These titles and the various honors mean a great deal to me, most of all for the reason that they would mean a great deal to my parents too. – Leon Askin
6879. The interest of my mother was more in the entertainment field. She loved to go to concerts and to the theatre. – Leon Askin
6880. Raising kids is part joy and part guerilla warfare. – Ed Asner
6881. They’re sheep. They like Bush enough to credit him with saving the nation after 9/11. Three thousand people get killed, and everybody thinks they’re next on the list. The president comes along, and he’s got his six-guns strapped on, and people think he’s going to save them. – Ed Asner
6882. I pray that this council, which will probably be too late to save Iraq, will do what it can, which will be immeasurably strong in what it does in trying to save our democracy. – Ed Asner

6887. You see these shuffling rows of shiny faces, waiting for their turn, so they’re very dedicated to the program and desperate to know what it is they’ve got – so often, they have no idea. – Michael Aspel
6888. What I will learn over the years will be of benefit and interest to me personally but, as far as the program is concerned, I’m the mouthpiece of the viewers as well. – Michael Aspel
6889. One of the experts bought his first piece at the age of four, so they did start very young, most of them. They did it out of genuine interest but today’s kids are much more materialistic and there’s a danger, I suppose, that they might just be out to make dosh. – Michael Aspel
6890. It’s nice to witness these discoveries at first hand. – Michael Aspel
6891. It’s like taking over This Is Your Life from Eamonn Andrews – you just open your mouth and hope you sound like yourself. That’s all you can possibly do. – Michael Aspel
6892. I’m more nervous about doing this than anything I’ve ever done before, because it is so prestigious. – Michael Aspel
6893. I still buy nice pieces but, at the moment, they’re presents for other people, so I only collect vicariously. – Michael Aspel
6894. An astounding thing is that, almost every single week, I have met someone from my past. – Michael Aspel
6895. There’s a certain amount of sympathy here for the Bush administration’s problem, which is they would like to get rid of Saddam Hussein and they would like to have the Kurds autonomous. – Les Aspin
6896. Before we give you billions more, we want to know what you’ve done with the trillion you’ve got. – Les Aspin
6897. Long-term, we must figure out a way that the Kurdish territory within Iraq operates with a certain amount of autonomy so that they feel comfortable and safe going back. – Les Aspin
6898. That was not part of the U.N. resolution; it was not part of the mandate to go on to Baghdad and, frankly, if we had gone into Baghdad and pushed Saddam Hussein off, we would have inherited an even bigger mess than the mess we inherited with the refugee problem. – Les Aspin
6899. We ought to be providing protective sanctuaries for the Kurdish rebels. That means finding some places where they can come and to which we will then be able to provide food and water and medical help. – Les Aspin
6900. We should have done more damage to the Iraqi forces before they withdrew from the Kuwaiti theater. – Les Aspin
6901. I would be very happy to see 3.5 billion humans wiped out from the face of the earth within the next 150 or 200 years and I am quite prepared to go myself with this majority… let us all look forward to the day when the catastrophe strikes us down! – John Aspinall
6902. The basic story for the opener is that word came through the bar that someone got knifed and killed up on the Moon Walk. It turns out to be one of the quarter regulars that everybody knows, including Maestro and Bone. – Robert Asprin
6903. Between you and me, I think that may be one of the things that will help with the collaboration, because there are things Eric thinks I’m moving too quickly on, and there are things I think he’s dragging out. When it gets to the editor they can arbitrate. – Robert Asprin
6904. New Orleans life is such a night life. The thing that comes up very often is that our day essentially doesn’t start until midnight or 2 in the morning. – Robert Asprin
6905. We’re kidding on that. One of the things I insisted upon when we went into this project was that we are full partners, going fifty-fifty, both on the money and on the say of what’s going on with the books. – Robert Asprin
6906. Writing that’s not working for a living. – Robert Asprin
6907. It’s interesting that instead of having to get tighter and more restricted for a collaboration, strangely enough, from the beginning, we’ve actually been more confident that we could handle this. – Robert Asprin
6908. Rich men’s houses are seldom beautiful, rarely comfortable, and never original. It is a constant source of surprise to people of moderate means to observe how little a big fortune contributes to Beauty. – Margot Asquith
6909. It is always dangerous to generalize, but the American people, while infinitely generous, are a hard and strong race and, but for the few cemeteries I have seen, I am inclined to think they never die. – Margot Asquith
6910. It is easier to influence strong than weak characters in life. – Margot Asquith
6911. Lord Birkenhead is very clever but sometimes his brains go to his head. – Margot Asquith
6912. He could not see a belt without hitting below it. – Margot Asquith

6916. What a pity, when Christopher Columbus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it. – Margot Asquith
6917. His modesty amounts to deformity. – Margot Asquith
6918. He’s very clever, but sometimes his brains go to his head. – Margot Asquith
6919. He has a brilliant mind until he makes it up. – Margot Asquith
6920. From the happy expression on their faces you might have supposed that they welcomed the war. I have met with men who loved stamps, and stones, and snakes, but I could not imagine any man loving war. – Margot Asquith
6921. Without forgiveness life is governed by… an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation. – Roberto Assagioli
6922. There is no certainty; there is only adventure. – Roberto Assagioli
6923. We released 400,000 classified documents, the most extraordinary history of a war to ever have been released in our civilization. Those documents cover 109,000 deaths. That is serious matter. – Julian Assange
6924. WikiLeaks is designed to make capitalism more free and ethical. – Julian Assange
6925. Wikileaks is a mechanism to maximize the flow of information to maximize the amount of action leading to just reform. – Julian Assange
6926. When it comes to the point where you occasionally look forward to being in prison on the basis that you might be able to spend a day reading a book, the realization dawns that perhaps the situation has become a little more stressful than you would like. – Julian Assange
6927. What is the possible benefit? Can this material save lives? Can it improve the quality of life in Iraq? Can it tend to shape our perceptions of how war should and should not be conducted? Can it shape our perceptions of who should be conducting war and in what manner? And the answer to that is a clear yes. – Julian Assange
6928. Well, there’s a question as to what sort of information is important in the world, what sort of information can achieve reform. And there’s a lot of information. So information that organizations are spending economic effort into concealing, that’s a really good signal that when the information gets out, there’s a hope of it doing some good. – Julian Assange
6929. Well, I mean, the real attack on truth is tabloid journalism in the United States. – Julian Assange
6930. The supply of leaks is very large. It’s helpful for us to have more people in this industry. It’s protective to us. – Julian Assange
6931. We like to engage in a normal publishing effort, which is to act in a responsible manner and make sure the material is not likely to harm anyone, that it is properly investigated by quality news organizations, and by lawyers and human rights groups and so on. – Julian Assange
6932. These megaleaks… They’re an important phenomenon, and they’re only going to increase. – Julian Assange
6933. True information does good. – Julian Assange
6934. We always expect tremendous criticism. It is my role to be the lightning rod … to attract the attacks against the organization for our work, and that is a difficult role. On the other hand, I get undue credit. – Julian Assange
6935. We don’t have sources who are dissidents on other sources. Should they come forward, that would be a tricky situation for us. But we’re presumably acting in such a way that people feel morally compelled to continue our mission, not to screw it up. – Julian Assange
6936. We get information in the mail, the regular postal mail, encrypted or not, vet it like a regular news organization, format it – which is sometimes something that’s quite hard to do, when you’re talking about giant databases of information – release it to the public and then defend ourselves against the inevitable legal and political attacks. – Julian Assange
6937. We have a way of dealing with information that has sort of personal – personally identifying information in it. But there are legitimate secrets – you know, your records with your doctor; that’s a legitimate secret. But we deal with whistleblowers that are coming forward that are really sort of well motivated. – Julian Assange
6938. We have some material on spying by a major government on the tech industry. Industrial espionage. – Julian Assange
6939. These big-package releases. There should be a cute name for them. – Julian Assange
6940. The corruption in reporting starts very early. It’s like the police reporting on the police. – Julian Assange
6941. Stopping leaks is a new form of censorship. – Julian Assange
6942. That’s a problem. I mean, like any sort of growing startup organization, we are sort of overwhelmed by our growth. And that means we’re getting enormous quantity of whistleblower disclosures of a very high caliber, but don’t have enough people to actually process and vet this information. – Julian Assange
6943. Intelligence agencies keep things secret because they often violate the rule of law or of good behavior. – Julian Assange
6944. In the history of Wikileaks, nobody has claimed that the material being put out is not authentic. – Julian Assange
6945. In my role as Wikileaks editor, I’ve been involved in fighting off many legal attacks. To do that, and keep our sources safe, we have had to spread assets, encrypt everything, and move telecommunications and people around the world to activate protective laws in different national jurisdictions. – Julian Assange
6946. If journalism is good, it is controversial, by its nature. – Julian Assange
6947. I mean there’s enormous pressures to harmonize freedom of speech legislation and transparency legislation around the world – within the E.U., between China and the United States. Which way is it going to go? It’s hard to see. – Julian Assange
6948. As we’ve gotten more successful, there’s a gap between the speed of our publishing pipeline and the speed of our receiving submissions pipeline. Our pipeline of leaks has been increasing exponentially as our profile rises, and our ability to publish is increasing linearly. – Julian Assange
6949. As we have seen, WikiLeaks is a robust organization. During my time in solitary confinement in the basement of a Victorian prison, we continue to release, our media partners continued to write stories. The important revelations from this material continue to come out. We have approximately 2,000 cables into 250,000. – Julian Assange
6950. It is the role of good journalism to take on powerful abusers, and when powerful abusers are taken on, there’s always a bad reaction. So we see that controversy, and we believe that is a good thing to engage in. – Julian Assange
6951. I’ve got the best deal on Earth. Where else can I sin and know that I’m forgiven for it? – Armand Assante
6952. I’ve worked for 27 years nonstop in theater and films. That’s a lot of work. – Armand Assante
6953. You love what you do, you are cursed with it, and then you get known for being cursed with it. – Armand Assante
6954. The whole industry is so screwed up by economics. It’s disgusting to me. – Armand Assante
6955. The Italian gangster thing has become a form of the modern-day Western. – Armand Assante
6956. My dream as a youngster was to be like Olivier. To be a great stage actor. To be a great Shakespearean actor. To me that is the Olympics of acting. – Armand Assante
6957. Maybe you don’t work for seven months a year, but you’ll work again. It may be a piece of garbage, so you wear hip boots. – Armand Assante
6958. Literature is air, and I’m suffocating in mediocrity. – Armand Assante
6959. I go out there and make a fool of myself. It’s inevitable. – Armand Assante
6960. Acting is a total physical, emotional sensation. – Armand Assante
6961. I do not want to act unless I have a a great intimacy with the people I’m working with. – Armand Assante
6962. It’s a blessing and a curse. But it’s not always the best situation to be in. As a profession, I don’t recommend acting at all. – Armand Assante
6963. I don’t champion the idea of being in a Hollywood movie. I never had fun in one of them. – Armand Assante
6964. I live a very quiet life, although I’m very urban and a diehard New Yorker. – Armand Assante
6965. I never pursued a career relentlessly. – Armand Assante
6966. I never pursued Hollywood banging my drum, because I was never in a film big enough to do that. – Armand Assante
6967. I stopped courting Hollywood a long time ago. – Armand Assante
6968. I’ve brought my daughters all over the world-they travel with me. I drag them out of school just to keep the relationship. When I’m home I’m a big-time daddy. – Armand Assante
6969. Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. – Francis of Assisi
6970. Where there is injury let me sow pardon. – Francis of Assisi
6971. Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. – Francis of Assisi
6972. Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. – Francis of Assisi
6973. No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves. – Francis of Assisi
6974. Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love. – Francis of Assisi
6975. While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart. – Francis of Assisi
6976. It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching. – Francis of Assisi
6977. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned. – Francis of Assisi
6978. If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. – Francis of Assisi
6979. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone. – Francis of Assisi
6980. If a superior give any order to one who is under him which is against that man’s conscience, although he do not obey it yet he shall not be dismissed. – Francis of Assisi
6981. I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone. – Francis of Assisi
6982. Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty: permit the distinctive sign of our order to be that it does not possess anything of its own beneath the sun, for the glory of your name, and that it have no other patrimony than begging. – Francis of Assisi
6983. For it is in giving that we receive. – Francis of Assisi
6984. Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words. – Francis of Assisi
6985. It is not fitting, when one is in God’s service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look. – Francis of Assisi
6986. Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self. – Francis of Assisi
6987. The hardest job kids face today is learning good manners without seeing any. – Fred Astaire
6988. The higher up you go, the more mistakes you are allowed. Right at the top, if you make enough of them, it’s considered to be your style. – Fred Astaire
6989. Dancing is a sweat job. – Fred Astaire
6990. I have no desire to prove anything by dancing. I have never used it as an outlet or a means of expressing myself. I just dance. I just put my feet in the air and move them around. – Fred Astaire
6991. I don’t want to be the oldest performer in captivity… I don’t want to look like a little old man dancing out there. – Fred Astaire
6992. Disco is just jitterbug. – Fred Astaire
6993. I just put my feet in the air and move them around. – Fred Astaire
6994. This search for what you want is like tracking something that doesn’t want to be tracked. It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable. – Fred Astaire
6995. To plead for the Oppress’d and to defend the Weak seem’d to me a generous undertaking; for tho’ it may be secure, ’tis not always Honourable to run over to the strongest party. – Mary Astell
6996. To all the rest of his Absurdities, (for vice is always unreasonable,) he adds one more, who expects that Vertue from another which he won’t practise himself. – Mary Astell
6997. ‘Tis very great pity that they who are so apt to over-rate themselves in smaller matters, shou’d, where it most concerns them to know, and stand upon their Value, be so insensible of their own worth. – Mary Astell
6998. Marry for Love, an Heroick Action, which makes a mighty noise in the World, partly because of its rarity, and partly in regard of its extravagancy. – Mary Astell

7000. The Relation we bear to the Wisdom of the Father, the Son of His Love, gives us indeed a dignity which otherwise we have no pretence to. It makes us something, something considerable even in God’s Eyes. – Mary Astell
