77232. Saturdays and Sundays, America in the year 2009 does not in some ways differ significantly from the country that existed almost 50 years ago. This is truly sad. – Eric Holder

77233. The reality is that we will be reading Miranda rights to the corpse of Osama bin Laden. He will never appear in an American courtroom. That’s the reality. He will be killed by us, or he will be killed by his own people so he’s not captured by us. We know that. – Eric Holder

77234. Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards. – Eric Holder

77301. If they were starting their careers today, Rockwell and Picasso would probably both be painting on black velvet. – Brad Holland

77332. As we have all said, we understand that electronic surveillance is a vital tool in the war on terror. We all want to know when Osama bin Laden is calling: when he is calling, who he is calling, and what he is saying. – Chris Van Hollen

77333. I have been privileged to have the opportunity to work with many of African American fraternal and social organizations that are active in my congressional district. They all do important work that makes a tangible difference to the quality of life in our community. – Chris Van Hollen

77334. I think America understands that energy security is a very important part of our national security. But if we are going to address energy security in a meaningful way going forward, we need to do it in a new manner. We cannot just be doing the same old thing. – Chris Van Hollen

77335. Instead, we did take our eye off the ball. We decided, instead of finishing the job in Afghanistan, to go into Iraq. And today, unfortunately, if you look at the situation on the ground, it is a mess. – Chris Van Hollen

77336. The fact of the matter is it’s very reasonable to ask the wealthiest estates to pay their share. We did that since Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican president. – Chris Van Hollen

77337. It is Basic Management 101 that if you reward failure you are going to get more failure, and if you want success you should reward success. But if you look at the way this administration has approached national security, they have kind of got that principle backwards. – Chris Van Hollen

77338. It was stunning actually, because what you would hope for from our national leaders is some reflection, some understanding that the situation that we encountered in Iraq was not what we expected, that it was not what he said it would be. – Chris Van Hollen

77339. The confusing thing, I thought, was that most of America already knew that we were overly reliant on oil, especially on foreign oil. But it was news that this administration had begun to at least acknowledge that problem. – Chris Van Hollen

77340. In fact, if you look upon the situation today, there is great division in the world and we have failed to capitalize on that unity to finish the job in Afghanistan and against al Qaeda. – Chris Van Hollen

77341. We must have systems of checks and balances to make sure that those people who are making critical decisions for our country are held accountable, and nowhere is that more important than in the area of national security. – Chris Van Hollen

77342. We waste an awful lot of energy as a Nation through inefficient use of energy. – Chris Van Hollen

77343. This body, the United States Congress, was united, Republicans and Democrats alike, in taking that action, toppling the Taliban government, and working to try and root out al Qaeda and find Osama bin Laden. – Chris Van Hollen

77345. I was bargaining for time away from Hollywood, and Columbia was bargaining for money. I got what I wanted and they got what they wanted. They knew I was so anxious to do Born Yesterday that I’d have done it for a dollar. They gave me the next best thing. – Judy Holliday

77346. I want a part where I can use my own hair, my own voice, and maybe even be literate. – Judy Holliday

77347. I thought I was learning about show business. The more painful it was, the more important I thought the experience must be. Hating it, I convinced myself it must be invaluable. – Judy Holliday

77348. I think Billie is the kind of girl who would let her hips swing loose. – Judy Holliday

77349. I suppose that if I could have quit, I would have, because in those days I never wanted to be an actress, the acting was something to do while I waited for a chance to study writing and directing. But I guess I was just meant to be an actress. Because, here I am. – Judy Holliday

77350. I am not a member of any organization listed by the Attorney General as subversive. In any instance where I lent my name in the past, it was certainly without knowledge that such an organization was subversive. I have always been essentially and foremost an American. – Judy Holliday

77351. I get very nervous whenever I think about it. I’ve never done a serious play, and I have such awe of the woman – she’s really my only idol. It’s going to be a big stretch – certain people come out on stage and your face muscles automatically tense and you get ready to smile. – Judy Holliday

77352. We were wavering around like a ship without a sail. – Judy Holliday

77353. I could talk about him all day. He’s one of the most wonderful things that ever happened to me. – Judy Holliday

77354. I hated the whole idea of being an actress. I used to throw up before every performance and cry afterward. – Judy Holliday

77356. I’m a born and bred New Yorker. I belong here. Everytime I leave it’s like losing a leg. – Judy Holliday

77357. It meant as much to me as winning the Oscar. – Judy Holliday

77358. It’s tough when take 1 is technically okay and take 2 has better acting. Out here (Hollywood) they print the first one. That’s the one where we all hit the mark on the floor and who cares about the acting. – Judy Holliday

77359. Lovers have a right to betray you… friends don’t. – Judy Holliday

77360. Nobody can give a good performance unless the authors and composers have written a good part, a fact which is often overlooked. – Judy Holliday

77368. I’m trying to eliminate every vestige of my own personality, style, approach and get into somebody else’s skin. Sometimes I feel I’ve accomplished it. But when I don’t, I’m nobody at all, having left myself at home. – Judy Holliday
