72194. The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and human responsibility. – Vaclav Havel

72195. The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less. – Vaclav Havel

72196. There are times when we must sink to the bottom of our misery to understand truth, just as we must descend to the bottom of a well to see the stars in broad daylight. – Vaclav Havel

72197. There’s always something suspect about an intellectual on the winning side. – Vaclav Havel

72198. Without free, self-respecting, and autonomous citizens there can be no free and independent nations. Without internal peace, that is, peace among citizens and between the citizens and the state, there can be no guarantee of external peace. – Vaclav Havel

72199. None of us know all the potentialities that slumber in the spirit of the population, or all the ways in which that population can surprise us when there is the right interplay of events. – Vaclav Havel

72200. Just as the constant increase of entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be ever more highly structured and to struggle against entropy. – Vaclav Havel

72201. When a truth is not given complete freedom, freedom is not complete. – Vaclav Havel

72202. Drama assumes an order. If only so that it might have – by disrupting that order – a way of surprising. – Vaclav Havel

72203. Lying can never save us from another lie. – Vaclav Havel

72204. As soon as man began considering himself the source of the highest meaning in the world and the measure of everything, the world began to lose its human dimension, and man began to lose control of it. – Vaclav Havel

72205. Even a purely moral act that has no hope of any immediate and visible political effect can gradually and indirectly, over time, gain in political significance. – Vaclav Havel

72206. Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don’t, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you. – Vaclav Havel

72207. Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good. – Vaclav Havel

72208. Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. – Vaclav Havel

72209. I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions. – Vaclav Havel

72210. I think theatre should always be somewhat suspect. – Vaclav Havel

72211. If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He’s not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he’s really needed. – Vaclav Havel

72212. Isn’t it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity. – Vaclav Havel

72213. Modern man must descend the spiral of his own absurdity to the lowest point; only then can he look beyond it. It is obviously impossible to get around it, jump over it, or simply avoid it. – Vaclav Havel

72214. Anyone who takes himself too seriously always runs the risk of looking ridiculous; anyone who can consistently laugh at himself does not. – Vaclav Havel

72215. Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. – Vaclav Havel

72216. I’ve heard what people are saying, and it’s a very weird thing. They’re going into a realm where it’s somethign that’s almost ugly, rather than something that can be so beautiful. – James Haven

72217. Angelina Jolie and I love each other. IF that’s unusual these days, that’s sad. – James Haven

72218. Famous people feel that they must perpetually be on the crest of the wave, not realising that it is against all the rules of life. You can’t be on top all the time, it isn’t natural. – Olivia De Havilland

72219. We were like a stock company at Warners. We didn’t know any of the stars from the other studios. – Olivia De Havilland

72220. The TV business is soul crushing, talent destroying and human being destroying. – Olivia De Havilland

72221. Playing good girls in the 30s was difficult, when the fad was to play bad girls. Actually I think playing bad girls is a bore; I have always had more luck with good girl roles because they require more from an actress. – Olivia De Havilland

72222. The one thing that you simply have to remember all the time that you are there, is that Hollywood is an oriental city. As long as you do that you might survive. If you try to equate it with anything else you’ll perish. – Olivia De Havilland

72223. Over the years, I’ve had hundreds of shots blocked. You’ve got to go in and take chances. – John Havlicek

72224. It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish. – Vance Havner

72225. You haven’t lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide. – Vance Havner

72226. Too many church services start at eleven sharp and end at twelve dull. – Vance Havner

72227. The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs. – Vance Havner

72228. The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself. – Vance Havner

72229. It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God’s name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there. – Vance Havner

72230. If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home. – Vance Havner

72231. I’m tired of hearing sin called sickness and alcoholism a disease. It is the only disease I know of that we’re spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year to spread. – Vance Havner

72232. Doing leads more surely to talking than talking to doing. – Vance Havner

72233. Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave – with both ends kicked out. – Vance Havner

72234. Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, “Shake well before using.” That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable. – Vance Havner

72235. You are all you will ever have for certain. – June Havoc

72236. The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn’t freak us out too much. – Davey Havok

72237. I will announce some of the tombs I found next to the great pyramid of Khufu. One is an intact tomb that I have not opened yet. – Zahi Hawass

72238. When we find something new at Giza, we announce it to the world. The Sphinx and the Pyramids are world treasures. We are the guardian’s of these treasures, but they belong to the world. – Zahi Hawass

72239. We are the only ones who really can care about the preservation Foreigners who come to excavate, maybe some of them care about preservation, but the majority care about discoveries. – Zahi Hawass

72240. Two hundred and fifty mummies covered in gold. Something like this cannot be explained – mummy after mummy covered in shining gold. – Zahi Hawass

72241. The sphinx will always have to be looked after. – Zahi Hawass

72242. Not a single piece of material culture – not a single object – has been found at Giza that can be interpreted to come from a lost civilization. – Zahi Hawass

72243. Many parts of the granite statues were found, the most important of which had features close to Ramses II. The statue needs some restoration and weighs between four and five tons. – Zahi Hawass

72244. It’s very important to reveal the mystery of the pyramid. Science in archaeology is very important. People all over the world are waiting to solve this mystery. – Zahi Hawass

72245. I will reveal the secrets behind these doors. – Zahi Hawass

72246. I found in one of the tombs an inscription saying, ‘If you touch my tomb, you will be eaten by a crocodile and hippopotamus.’ It doesn’t mean the hippo will eat you, it means the person really wanted his tomb to be protected. – Zahi Hawass

72247. I am damn good. I am doing all this for Egypt and nothing else. I reject 70 per cent of media interviews while these people who accuse me are running after them. – Zahi Hawass

72248. As scientists, we keep an open mind, but we have to base our ideas about the past on archaeological evidence. – Zahi Hawass

72249. Anyone can like their job… To love your job is not enough, you must give your passion to your job. – Zahi Hawass

72250. It makes the heart to tremble when you open an undiscovered tomb. – Zahi Hawass

72251. I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. – Tony Hawk

72252. I love snowboarding, but I would never want to do it competitively or at a professional level. Snowboarding is a spawn of skating, and skating is my passion. – Tony Hawk

72253. I won’t quit skating until I am physically unable. – Tony Hawk

72254. The things which are most important don’t always scream the loudest. – Bob Hawke

72255. There is no doubt that this government and this country are benefiting from the reforms that we brought in the 1980s, and that couldn’t have been done without the co-operation of the trade union movement. – Bob Hawke

72256. I think it is just stupid economics for a government to approach economic management from a strand of thinking regarding unions as enemies. – Bob Hawke

72257. My point was that the war was intrinsically wrong, and as a result of our participation we haven’t improved Australia’s security but created a greater danger at home and abroad. – Bob Hawke

72258. Unless and until something concrete is done about addressing the Israeli-Palestinian issue you won’t get a real start on the war against terrorism. – Bob Hawke

72259. I kill flies, I eat meat, you know, whatever. – Ethan Hawke

72260. My relationship to reality has been so utterly skewed for so long that I don’t even notice it any more. It’s just my reality. – Ethan Hawke

72261. We assume that everything’s becoming more efficient, and in an immediate sense that’s true; our lives are better in many ways. But that improvement has been gained through a massively inefficient use of natural resources. – Paul Hawken

72262. We can no longer prosper by increasing human productivity. The more we try to do, the more poverty we will create. – Paul Hawken

72263. What we are missing, utterly and completely, in this government is accountability. – Paul Hawken

72264. We are losing our living systems, social systems, cultural systems, governing systems, stability, and our constitutional health, and we’re surrendering it all at the same time. – Paul Hawken

72265. The first rule of sustainability is to align with natural forces, or at least not try to defy them. – Paul Hawken

72266. We are now heading down a centuries-long path toward increasing the productivity of our natural capital – the resource systems upon which we depend to live – instead of our human capital. – Paul Hawken

72267. Thus, the forces and value systems that are most threatened by this shift are becoming the most coherent and are rising to the top as minority or plurality powers. But they do not represent either the shift, the change, or the future. – Paul Hawken

72268. In short, industrialism is over. – Paul Hawken

72269. The financial capital is being concentrated by corporations, institutional investors, and even our pension funds, and being reinvested in companies that repeat this process because it provides the highest return on that financial capital. – Paul Hawken

72270. That inefficiency is masked because growth and progress are measured in money, and money does not give us information about ecological systems, it only gives information about financial systems. – Paul Hawken

72271. That appropriation of resources and the transformation of them into goods and services through the European production system characterized, and characterizes to this day, all industrial systems including the information age. – Paul Hawken

72272. People are naming it the Third Wave, the Information Age, etc. but I would say those are basically technological descriptions, and this next shift is not about technology – although obviously it will be influenced and in some cases expressed by technologies. – Paul Hawken

72273. Local companies don’t have to internalize their costs, and few actually do, but they tend to more often because the owners live there and they have to show their face in town, and their kids play with other kids. – Paul Hawken

72274. Interestingly, the oil companies know very well that in less than 30 years they will not only be charging very high prices, but that they will be uncompetitive with renewables. – Paul Hawken

72275. Information from destructive activities going back a hundred years right up until today is being incorporated into the system. And as that happens the underlying framework of industrialism is collapsing and causing disintegration. – Paul Hawken

72276. All is connected… no one thing can change by itself. – Paul Hawken

72277. Intelligent policies will be largely self-regulating in the sense that the system of incentives and standards makes it absolutely ludicrous to not move towards clean, internalized systems of cost and production. – Paul Hawken

72278. A local company has more accountability. – Paul Hawken

72279. Always leave enough time in your life to do something that makes you happy, satisfied, even joyous. That has more of an effect on economic well-being than any other single factor. – Paul Hawken

72280. And also, more and more businesses really want to do the right thing. They feel better about themselves, their workers feel better, and so do their customers. I think this is equally true in the transnational corporations, but it is harder to express in those situations. – Paul Hawken

72281. Businesses who are members of Businesses for Social Responsibility or the Social Venture Network are internalizing costs on a voluntary basis and therefore raising their costs of doing business, but their competitors are not required to. – Paul Hawken

72282. Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them. – Paul Hawken

72283. I think an old style of addressing environmental problems is ebbing, but the rise of the so-called conservative, political movement in this country is not a trend towards the future but a reaction to this very broad shift that we are undergoing. – Paul Hawken

72284. If, as is natural, you focus on the corruption and on those threatened institutions that are trying to prevent change – even though they don’t really know what they’re trying to prevent – then you can get pessimistic. – Paul Hawken

72285. When I started writing fiction, I knew how good it was immediately. – John C. Hawkes

72286. My father’s parents were Irish. Only a year before my father died, he and I went back to Ireland for a week to look at the old homestead. – John C. Hawkes

72287. It’s hard to tell whether the ship or airplane – they’re all the same, I’m convinced – is male or female; it may shift back and forth. – John C. Hawkes

72288. In The Lime Twig I took two very young people and made them very old. – John C. Hawkes

72289. I was not typical. Whatever typical or normal is, I was somehow separated and different. – John C. Hawkes

72290. I do not feel an exile from America in any sense. – John C. Hawkes

72291. I used to carry about with me a German map-case filled with poems. – John C. Hawkes

72292. I remember my mother finding mud somehow and putting it on the sting. – John C. Hawkes

72293. I had to go to Sunday school once or twice in my life, and that’s where I commented someplace on hearing. – John C. Hawkes

72294. I didn’t know what kind of jobs, because how was I prepared? At best, I would be an AB in English. – John C. Hawkes

72295. When we lived in Juneau, Alaska, it was a town of about 7,000 people, and totally isolated; the only way to get to it was by ship. – John C. Hawkes

72296. To be anywhere near an enormous ocean liner when you are just like a fish in the water is frightening. – John C. Hawkes

72297. The only thing that exists is torment, lyricism, and the magnificence of language. – John C. Hawkes

72298. Really, I didn’t like Alaska. It rained, almost every day, at least 300 days out of the year. – John C. Hawkes

72299. On the night before we were married, all of the anxiety in the world came down upon me. – John C. Hawkes

72300. I didn’t for a moment doubt the choice, but if life is ever fearsome, it is truly fearsome then. – John C. Hawkes

72301. As in The Lime Twig dream and illusion are right at the center of Charivari. – John C. Hawkes

72302. I’m only interested in fiction that in some way or other voices the very imagination which is conceiving it. – John C. Hawkes

72303. My mother wanted very much to play tennis; she wanted, most of all, to be a singer and play the piano. – John C. Hawkes

72304. I want prose fiction to be recognized as that, and I’m not interested in writing as it becomes more personal. – John C. Hawkes

72305. As an actor, I think a mistake that any storyteller can make is to play the ending. – John Hawkes

72306. For the last 20 years of my life, I’ve had the mantra to do amazing parts with amazing people in amazing projects, so I’m attracted to good story, writing and character and good people. That’s what I’m always searching for and I don’t think that’s ever going to change. – John Hawkes

72307. I do all kinds of roles – nerd, psycho, nerd, psycho, nerd, psycho – and occasionally someone kind of normal. It’s weird, when I lived in Austin I was always cast as pretty normal people. But when I moved to Los Angeles I was immediately branded a psycho. – John Hawkes

72308. I don’t have any training as an actor, but I guess I’m an intense pretender. When you read something over and over, it gets into you a little bit. You can’t help but begin to feel it, even if you’re a healthy person as I think I am. – John Hawkes

72309. I went to a performance of ‘The Crucible’ at the Guthrie when I was a sophomore in high school, and I knew right away that that’s what I wanted to do. – John Hawkes

72310. You never really forget who you are. If you did, you’d need to seek some professional help. – John Hawkes

72311. I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image. – Stephen Hawking

72312. Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales. – Stephen Hawking

72313. One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem. – Stephen Hawking

72314. Not only does God play dice, but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen. – Stephen Hawking

72315. My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all. – Stephen Hawking

72316. Most sets of values would give rise to universes that, although they might be very beautiful, would contain no one able to wonder at that beauty. – Stephen Hawking

72317. It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value. – Stephen Hawking

72318. It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years. – Stephen Hawking

72319. The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing? – Stephen Hawking

72320. If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist. – Stephen Hawking

72321. I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road. – Stephen Hawking

72322. God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen. – Stephen Hawking

72323. Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. – Stephen Hawking

72324. Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? – Stephen Hawking

72325. We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special. – Stephen Hawking

72326. There are grounds for cautious optimism that we may now be near the end ofthe search for the ultimate laws of nature. – Stephen Hawking

72327. To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit. – Stephen Hawking

72328. The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired. – Stephen Hawking

72329. If you should see any Indians you will oblige me by repeating this prohibition to them. – Benjamin Hawkins

72330. If you don’t make mistakes, you aren’t really trying. – Coleman Hawkins

72331. I honestly can’t characterize my style in words. It seems that whatever comes to me naturally, I play. – Coleman Hawkins

72332. I made the tenor sax – there’s nobody plays like me and I don’t play like anybody else. – Coleman Hawkins

72333. Some people say there was no jazz tenor before me. All I know is I just had a way of playing and I didn’t think in terms of any other instrument but the tenor. – Coleman Hawkins

72334. Music should always be an adventure. – Coleman Hawkins

72335. Loads of computer graphics equals a terrible video in my book. – Dan Hawkins

72336. We’re real people and we’re a band that’s been playing on the scene for a long time. We’ve made a lot of friends, and one enemy we’ve always had was the NME. They’ve always basically slated us and they’ve basically never ever written about the music. – Dan Hawkins

72337. You have to keep going. The main attention is for us to stay alive and stay a band. You only really become very successful when you stick together. Just keep going and reaching bigger and better. – Dan Hawkins

72338. You can muck around with different guitars for certain bits, but you have to have your own sound. That’s your benchmark, that’s your sound. I also play a Black Beauty. It sounds amazing. – Dan Hawkins

72339. When we started off it was all nervous energy and we probably played everything twice as fast as we do now. – Dan Hawkins

72340. When I need to nail that riff to the cross, Marshall will always provide the hammer! – Dan Hawkins

72341. We’ve had a number 1 album in the UK and that was a really big thing for me. So now all we’ve got to do is do it in America and that will have the domino effect of doing it across the rest of the world. – Dan Hawkins

72342. We’ve got a long career ahead of us and it’s going to be great. Trust me. – Dan Hawkins

72343. I think we raised about 20,000 pounds. There was a live performance thing so we thought we’d donate the equipment for an online charity in Britain. I hated to part with my guitar, but it was for such a great cause. – Dan Hawkins

72344. After school I moved to London to get involved in music. I took the whole thing very seriously. – Dan Hawkins

72345. We still haven’t played Madison Square Garden. That’s a benchmark. Something will have gone seriously wrong if we don’t play Madison Square Garden for this album. – Dan Hawkins

72346. There’s a lot of people out there who have seen us once somewhere in a pub or heard our songs late night on radio. We’d done four years of it before we’d even released a single. It’s put us in good stead. – Dan Hawkins

72347. In a strange kind of way I know were really popular and probably the biggest band in the country at the moment, but at the same time there is this real cult thing going on. – Dan Hawkins

72348. As far as the live shows go, we’re not leapfrogging all the smaller venues. We would have bypassed these kind of shows and gone straight to the Arena shows, but we didn’t want to. – Dan Hawkins

72349. I can’t wait to start something up myself that is actually about giving unsigned bands the exposure they deserve, especially when they travel so far to play the smallest gig they’ve ever played in their lives. – Dan Hawkins

72350. I can’t wait until we get to the stage where we don’t have to explain anymore. – Dan Hawkins

72351. I knew from an early age exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a musician and that was it. It made life a lot easier knowing what I was aiming for. – Dan Hawkins

72352. I taught myself how to play the guitar. I never studied music. – Dan Hawkins

72353. My favorite is still the one that I started off with, which is a Les Paul Standard. I’ve played that at every gig I’ve ever had. And that’s my starting point in the studio. – Dan Hawkins

72354. The bigger we get, I think the more it’s changing things, which is great, but we didn’t set out to do that. We just wanted to be as big as we possibly could be. – Dan Hawkins

72355. Prediction by analogy -creativity – is so pervasive we normally don’t notice it. – Jeff Hawkins

72356. Our bodies are hanging along for the ride, but my brain is talking to your brain. And if we want to understand who we are and how we feel and perceive, we really understand what brains are. – Jeff Hawkins

72357. If you look at the history of big obstacles in understanding our world, there’s usually an intuitive assumption underlying them that’s wrong. – Jeff Hawkins

72358. Annexation is probably the most valuable tool a city has to ensure orderly growth and development. – Jeff Hawkins

72359. I do two things. I design mobile computers and I study brains. – Jeff Hawkins

72360. And, you know, the fact is, if you believe in evolution, we all have a common ancestor, and we all have a common ancestry with the plant in the lobby. This is what evolution tells us. And, it’s true. It’s kind of unbelievable. – Jeff Hawkins

72361. Whatever the difference between brilliant and average brains, we are all creative. And through practice and study we can enhance our skills and talents. – Jeff Hawkins

72362. You can’t imagine how much detail we know about brains. There were 28,000 people who went to the neuroscience conference this year, and every one of them is doing research in brains. A lot of data. But there’s no theory. There’s a little, wimpy box on top there. – Jeff Hawkins

72363. Like all citizens, Ms. McNeill has the right to be free from unlawful employment practices such as sex discrimination and retaliation. – John Hawkins

72364. This kind of prelude was succeeded by the concerto itself which he executed with a degree of spirit and firmness that no one has ever pretended to equal. – John Hawkins

72365. The men have long been unpaid and need relief. – John Hawkins

72366. Our ships, God be thanked, have received little hurt. – John Hawkins

72367. Change is unavoidable. You change either to stay ahead or to catch up. – Mike Hawkins

72368. Goals seem impossible only when you are not heading toward them. – Mike Hawkins

72369. If you choose not to pursue your dreams, you’ll still be a part of a dream – only it will be someone else’s. – Mike Hawkins

72370. The effort required by your endeavor now is not as hard as dealing with your regret later. – Mike Hawkins

72371. When you can’t stop what you’re doing long enough to improve it, you will never stop what you are doing. – Mike Hawkins

72372. You don’t get results by focusing on results. You get results by focusing on the actions that produce results. – Mike Hawkins

72373. Your desired behavior must become just as much a habit as your undesired behavior was before. – Mike Hawkins

72374. Rock ‘n’ roll was two pegs below being a prisoner of war back then. – Ronnie Hawkins

72375. Wherever there are rock ‘n’ rollers, we’ll play. That’s what we’ve been doing for more than 30 years – rock ‘n’ roll. It’s made me everything from an honorary mayor to honorary member of a motorcycle gang. – Ronnie Hawkins

72376. ‘The bigtime for you is just around the corner.’ They told me that first in 1952 – boy, it’s been a long corner. If I don’t hit the bigtime in the next 25 or 30 years, I’m gonna pack in the music business and become a full-time gigolo. – Ronnie Hawkins

72377. I don’t know who’s left to hear us. But if there are people who want the real thing, we’ve got it. My band rocks, and I plan to keep doing it ’till nobody shows up to see it anymore. – Ronnie Hawkins

72378. I am a cross between Carl Perkins and Led Zeppelin. – Ronnie Hawkins

72379. A good band is like a team. You want to have the right balance. It’s not always the best people you need, but the right ones for the job. – Ronnie Hawkins

72380. I spent ninety percent of my money on wine, women and song and just wasted the other ten percent. – Ronnie Hawkins
