80193. Thus the races, though alike in their physical response to climate, may possibly be different in their mental response because they have approached America by different paths. – Ellsworth Huntington

80194. It seems strange that almost no other traces of the strong vikings are found in America. – Ellsworth Huntington

80195. Except on their southern borders the great northern forests are not good as a permanent home for man. – Ellsworth Huntington

80196. For the source of any characteristic so widespread and uniform as this adaptation to environment we must go back to the very beginning of the human race. – Ellsworth Huntington

80197. No part of the world can be truly understood without a knowledge of its garment of vegetation, for this determines not only the nature of the animal inhabitants but also the occupations of the majority of human beings. – Ellsworth Huntington

80198. Geologists are rapidly becoming convinced that the mammals spread from their central Asian point of origin largely because of great variations in climate. – Ellsworth Huntington

80199. History in its broadest aspect is a record of man’s migrations from one environment to another. – Ellsworth Huntington

80200. America forms the longest and straightest bone in the earth’s skeleton. – Ellsworth Huntington

80201. In fact, the history of North America has been perhaps more profoundly influenced by man’s inheritance from his past homes than by the physical features of his present home. – Ellsworth Huntington

80202. Curiously enough man’s body and his mind appear to differ in their climatic adaptations. – Ellsworth Huntington

80203. As a matter of fact, an ordinary desert supports a much greater variety of plants than does either a forest or a prairie. – Ellsworth Huntington

80204. Man could not stay there forever. He was bound to spread to new regions, partly because of his innate migratory tendency and partly because of Nature’s stern urgency. – Ellsworth Huntington

80205. Nevertheless most of the evergreen forests of the north must always remain the home of wild animals and trappers, a backward region in which it is easy for a great fur company to maintain a practical monopoly. – Ellsworth Huntington

80206. A journey of four hundred and thirty miles can be made in any part of the United States, but in Turkey it takes as many days. – Ellsworth Huntington

80207. After washing there was no place to pour the water except out of the window onto the heads of the people in the streets, which is the proper place to throw everything that is not wanted. – Ellsworth Huntington

80208. Again and again, to be sure, on the way to America, and under many other circumstances, man has passed through the most adverse climates and has survived, but he has flourished and waxed strong only in certain zones. – Ellsworth Huntington

80209. In America the most widespread type of forest is the evergreen coniferous woodland of the north. – Ellsworth Huntington

80210. According to the now almost universally accepted theory, all the races of mankind had a common origin. – Ellsworth Huntington

80211. The West hasn’t reached its universal state as yet, although its close to it, but it certainly has evolved out of its warring state phase, which it was in for a couple of centuries. – Samuel P. Huntington

80212. The other aspect of American identity worth focusing on is the concept of America as a nation of immigrants. That certainly is a partial truth. But it is often assumed to be the total truth. – Samuel P. Huntington

80213. It was this society and culture that among other things – including economic opportunities here and repression in Europe – attracted subsequent generations of immigrants to this country. – Samuel P. Huntington

80214. They weren’t immigrating to some existing society; indeed, they often did whatever they could do to destroy whatever existed here in the way of Indian society. – Samuel P. Huntington

80215. Our relationship with Mexico in this regard is unique for us, and in many respects unique in the world. – Samuel P. Huntington

80216. Thus, biologically speaking the American people are literally only half an immigrant people. – Samuel P. Huntington

80217. Total falsehoods can be easily exposed for what they are by citing exceptions to their claims. Hence, they are less likely to be accepted as the total truth. – Samuel P. Huntington

80218. We also thought of ourselves in racial and largely ethnic terms. – Samuel P. Huntington

80219. We really only came around to accepting and integrating the propositional dimension of identity into a concept of ourselves at the time of the American Revolution. – Samuel P. Huntington

80220. The British were white, English, and Protestant, just as we were. They had to have some other basis on which to justify independence, and happily they were able to formulate the inalienable truths set forth in the Declaration. – Samuel P. Huntington

80221. Partial truths or half-truths are often more insidious than total falsehoods. – Samuel P. Huntington

80222. Well, I think the United States first of all has to recognize the world for what it is. – Samuel P. Huntington

80223. The great problem there is we have to have the cooperation of those other Asian countries. – Samuel P. Huntington

80224. Much of what we now consider to be problems concerning immigration and assimilation really concern Mexican immigration and assimilation. – Samuel P. Huntington

80225. It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring. – Samuel P. Huntington

80226. And so in terms of territorial control, in terms of economic preeminence, the western share of the gross world product is declining as Asian societies in particular develop economically. – Samuel P. Huntington

80227. It was one thing to contain the Soviet Union in Europe because Britain, France, and Germany were all willing to join in. But will Japan and other Asian countries be willing to join in the containment of China? – Samuel P. Huntington

80228. In 1920, the West ruled huge amounts of the world. – Samuel P. Huntington

80229. Immigrants are people who leave one country, one society, and move to another society. But there has to be a recipient society to which the immigrants move. – Samuel P. Huntington

80230. I think clearly the United States, as well as other western nations, should stand by their commitments to human rights and democracy and should try to influence other countries to move in that direction. – Samuel P. Huntington

80231. First of all, we haven’t always welcomed immigrants. – Samuel P. Huntington

80232. Finally, in my critique of the immigration image of America, it is also important to know that we’re not only a nation of immigrants, but we are in some part a nation of emigrants, which often gets neglected. – Samuel P. Huntington

80233. But then I came to the conclusion that no, while there may be an immigration problem, it isn’t really a serious problem. The really serious problem is assimilation. – Samuel P. Huntington

80234. And the big question for the West, of course, and to the Europeans is, what other countries, which were formerly part of the Soviet bloc, should be incorporated into western institutions? – Samuel P. Huntington

80235. Also, of course, for most of this time most Americans thought of America as a white country with, at best, only a very segregated and subordinate role for blacks. – Samuel P. Huntington

80236. Mexican immigration poses challenges to our policies and to our identity in a way nothing else has in the past. – Samuel P. Huntington

80238. I hesitate to get into the gutter with this guy. – Chet Huntley

80239. People truly reaching across boundaries – be they religious or race, political or geographic. A state that is sincerely civil and respectful of each individual’s pathway toward life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be our goal. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80240. I’m a very spiritual person, and proud of my Mormon roots. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80241. I’m not competing in Iowa for a reason. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80242. I’m not sure it’s the stimulus money that will necessarily allow the economy to recover. It will help to fortify our budgets, frankly, to ensure that there isn’t as much backsliding in the areas of education and healthcare, for example. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80243. I’m surprised that we’ve gotten to a point where we don’t put our country first and put our party first. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80244. If we can’t find cuts in the defense budget, we’re not looking carefully enough. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80245. If you can’t define a winning exit strategy for the American people, where we somehow come out ahead, then we’re wasting our money, and we’re wasting our strategic resources. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80246. In our own state, we came up with, I think, what was a very novel approach to closing the gap on the uninsured. To harmonize medical records – which was a major step in getting costs out of the system. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80247. It’s a tribal state, and it always will be. Whether we like it or not, whenever we withdraw from Afghanistan, whether it’s now or years from now, we’ll have an incendiary situation. Should we stay and play traffic cop? I don’t think that serves our strategic interests. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80248. It’s taken a lot of presidents to get us where we are today, a lot of deployments, a lot of wars, a lot engagements. You add them all up. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80249. My father, one of the great entrepreneurs and philanthropists of this state, taught me that capital – monetary or political – is to be used to benefit others. I intend to continue that tradition. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80250. I would vote to increase the debt limit if there was a corresponding level of cuts. And if there was some serious talk about a balanced budget amendment, which we as governors always had to deal with. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80251. Normal people don’t just wake up in the morning and say I think it’d be a good idea to run for president of the United States. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80252. We have lost that which has made us great over the generations, and that is the sense of individual and personal responsibility that we can come up, we can pursue our dreams and our aspirations and we won’t be blocked by government regulation, by the inability to get a loan as a small business to make our dreams come true. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80253. Politics is a lot of serendipity. You’re in the right place and the right time and you’ve got the right message, and it either connects for you or, or it doesn’t. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80254. That’s what governors do, they wrestle with the issues, they find solutions and they move the agenda forward. At the appropriate time we’ll talk about all of these issues, while remembering that our party is a big tent party. We lose when we try to become exclusive to one particular set of issues. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80255. The reality, sitting ten thousand miles away, is that we remain the country that inspires. We remain that shining city on a hill. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80256. The rest of the world cares about how we conduct our affairs because they then take that lead. We’re the only leader in the world today. Some are wishing us well, others think that we’re down and are not going to get back up again, but they are all watching with great interest to see how we conduct our business over the next couple of years. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80257. This is a time when the United States should be standing tall. There is no other leader in the world today. We shouldn’t be approaching conflicts as a team sport. We either get in an we lead and we do a good job, or you don’t get in at all. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80258. This is the marketplace of political ideas. This is how America operates. It’s a free market. It’s free-wheeling. From the outside, it looks unpredictable. There’s a circus-like free market. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80259. Today, I’m a candidate for the office of president of the United States of America. My kids can’t believe I just said that. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80260. We’re fighting an enemy that is far different than any we have got before. It’s a nontraditional kind of war, and I think we need to step back, recalibrate how we go about protecting our borders and protecting our people, and resetting our position in the world. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80261. When America closes its doors, so does everybody else. We are the primary engine of growth in the world and we are the only beacon of free trade left, and open markets. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80262. You can be stern and forthright, and that’s my management style, but when you lose it totally, that’s a sign of weakness. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80263. My sense is that we’re ready for another industrial revolution in this country. The great minds and innovators of Silicon Valley would come through China and say, The pipeline is full of ideas – there’s personalized medicine, biotechnology, new forms to power ourselves, clean energy, etc., etc. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80264. What is important is that you’re honest with the American people. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80265. I love music, I love all kinds of music, particularly jazz. Jazz is an extension of America. There’s no other country in the world that could have produced jazz. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80266. I respect the president. He and I have a difference of opinion on how to help the country we both love. But the question each of us wants the voters to answer is who will be the better president, not who is the better American. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80267. I had the trade minister in China sit down as we were preparing for trade negotiations. He said, ‘Please don’t let people in the United States lose their confidence because when you lose your confidence, the rest of the world suffers’. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80268. I don’t think you need to run down someone’s reputation in order to run for the office of president. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80269. I come from a long line of saloon keepers and proselytizers, and I draw from both sides. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80270. I can’t stomach the thought that we are passing down to the next generation a country that is less viable, less good, less competitive, less compassionate than the one we got. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80271. For those of us who have lived abroad and seen our nation in a highly competitive 21st century, and kind of see where this world is going – unless we are able to strengthen our core, we’re going to see the end of the American century. And that is totally unacceptable. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80272. Economic prosperity and quality education for our children are inexorably linked. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80273. But economic recovery must be earned. And it will be earned by entrepreneurs and it will be earned by small businesses. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80274. And the trajectory that our debt is taking now beyond $14 trillion is going to have an impact on our currency. It goes south, and our currency’s going to have an impact on our standard of living and affect every family in this country, and over time, our international competitiveness. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80275. I was criticized at some level within the Republican Party by those who say government should not be in the economic development business at all. My response is that the only country I know that doesn’t have an economic development plan is Papa New Guinea. – Jon Huntsman, Jr.

80276. I find it very beautiful to work in different countries because I see the mentality differences there. It is so rich, one always carries forward something. – Michelle Hunziker

80277. We look in… Germany for a superstar. We began with 10,000 people, which applied. From these 10,000, 100 was selected. The jury is unbelievably competent. – Michelle Hunziker

80278. One says also, it is one of the most faithful men in Hollywood, and makes again more interesting it equal. – Michelle Hunziker

80279. If I go to Germany, I learn something in addition. The German television is very precise and respectable. One has never stress. In Italy it is more dynamic. But I amuse myself madly in both countries. – Michelle Hunziker

80280. I have had only two men in four years while he appears every week on the newspapers with another woman. – Michelle Hunziker

80281. I had the luck that my parents educated me in three languages. With my mother I spoke Dutch, with my father Italian, and in the school I learned German. But my host language is Italian. – Michelle Hunziker

80282. I had hoped that he has mouth smell or something other repelling, but nothing! It was even charming. – Michelle Hunziker

80283. I find that one must accept the people in such a way as they are. – Michelle Hunziker

80284. For me, making films is like being on vacation, it’s a nice walk. But theatre is like mountaineering. You never know whether you’re going to fall off or make it to the top. – Isabelle Huppert

80285. But on the whole, nothing requires unbearable energy for me, it’s just a normal thing. – Isabelle Huppert

80286. But someone like Claude Chabrol tries to make a connection between the society in which we live and the social reasons which make monsters out of some people. – Isabelle Huppert

80287. But theatre is always a difficult experience. – Isabelle Huppert

80288. Even for the most difficult scenes, and there are difficult scenes in the film, and because Michael Haneke is such a great film-maker – I think a great film-maker is not only being inspired, but how to do it, how to make it as real as possible, knowing that it’s not real. – Isabelle Huppert

80289. Firstly I did it in this huge theatre in Avignon, then to smaller places, then bigger places. You have to change the volume of the voice, give more or less. The way you have to relate to space makes it like sculpture. – Isabelle Huppert

80290. Before I do a play I say that I hope it’s going to be for as short a time as possible but, once you do it, it is a paradoxical pleasure. One evening out of two there are five minutes of a miracle and for those five minutes you want to do it again and again. It’s like a drug. – Isabelle Huppert

80291. I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can’t do anything else than to express a talent. It’s a way of being untalented for anything. – Isabelle Huppert

80292. Yes, he wanted me to do Funny Games before, which I didn’t want to do because the film was very theoretical – the way people experience violence on screen. There was very little space for fiction, it was more like a sacrifice for the actors than anything else. – Isabelle Huppert

80293. When you come to do the film, it is not the time to wonder why you do it. It’s just how to do it. – Isabelle Huppert

80294. The Greeks already understood that there was more interest in portraying an unusual character than a usual character – that is the purpose of films and theatre. – Isabelle Huppert

80295. Perhaps Europeans are a bit more skeptic whereas Americans are more believers. – Isabelle Huppert

80296. Once you have made the decision to do the film, once you have identified the desire and all the deep and personal, intimate, artistic reasons why you want to do the film, then it’s more a matter of how to do things. – Isabelle Huppert

80297. My mom’s a Catholic, and my dad’s a Jew, and they didn’t want anything to do with anything. – Isabelle Huppert

80298. For a long time I have compared cinema to music, I think cinema has a lot to do with the rhythm of music. – Isabelle Huppert

80299. In a very complex way, things have improved in the dramatic field. Before you had the good and the bad and you couldn’t mingle them. Now it’s more ambiguous. – Isabelle Huppert

80300. For an actress there is no greater gift than having a camera in front of you, listening to the most beautiful music in the world and just being looked at! – Isabelle Huppert

80301. I never wondered whether I should be a stage actress or a movie actress. – Isabelle Huppert

80302. I like to take these unusual characters and then make them as normal as possible, because we all know that the tragedy and the abnormal always hides itself behind the normal. – Isabelle Huppert

80303. I don’t know if you ever say to yourself that you want to be an actress. It eventually becomes a social function – you are an actress and you make a living out of it, but at the beginning it’s more a matter of how to survive, or how to exist in a certain way. – Isabelle Huppert

80304. I did a film very quickly, and then a lot of work for television, and then I did stage work. – Isabelle Huppert

80305. Going through this musical experience really helped us to understand the core of the film. – Isabelle Huppert

80306. Acting is a way of living out one’s insanity. – Isabelle Huppert

80307. It really helps you to go through difficult situations by just thinking about it as being a big amount of work which you have to solve how to do. For example, I don’t feel very inspired when I act, I just act. That’s it. – Isabelle Huppert

80308. But it wasn’t just a technical approach towards the piano, studying the music for this film was also a way of approaching the soul of the film, because the film is really about the soul of Schubert and the soul of Bach. – Isabelle Huppert

80309. Margaret Thatcher, growing up in a bombed and battered Britain, derived a distrust which has grown with the years not just of Germany but of all continental Europe. – Douglas Hurd

80310. A genuinely democratic Iraq might well act as a fresh spur. – Douglas Hurd

80311. But Germany will always suffer, I fear, from the intensely dramatic character of the crimes of the Third Reich. – Douglas Hurd

80312. But it cannot follow that because weapons and troops are now being deployed we are bound to go to war. – Douglas Hurd

80313. Despite this lamentable lack of balance in our education I do not believe that either children or adults in my country are permeated by a widespread hostility to Germany. – Douglas Hurd

80314. History provides no precise guidelines. – Douglas Hurd

80315. I may be wrong in that, but not I think in putting the questions. In our modern democracy the government needs not a unanimous but a general support for war before it orders our forces to fight. – Douglas Hurd

80316. It depends on how it is done but what we are drifting into, which is that people grow up without any sense of a spiritual dimension to life, is just impoverishing. – Douglas Hurd

80317. It is normal for politicians in all countries to profess themselves the pupils of history, anxious to draw the right lessons from her teaching. – Douglas Hurd

80318. Wisely used history can give pleasure and provide us with a useful tool; but we should not become its slaves. – Douglas Hurd

80319. Margaret Thatcher was fearful of German unification because she believed that this would bring an immediate and formidable increase of economic strength to a Germany which was already the strongest economic partner in Europe. – Douglas Hurd

80320. There are thus great swathes of the past where understanding is more important and reputable than judgement, because the principal actors performed in line with the ideas and values of that time, not of ours. – Douglas Hurd

80321. We should be wary of politicians who profess to follow history while only noticing those signposts of history that point in the direction which they themselves already favour. – Douglas Hurd

80322. We, Britain and Germany, can neither of us be happy about our handling of the Iraq war. – Douglas Hurd

80323. We must admit that history is enjoyable to a large extent because it enables us to pass judgement on the past. – Douglas Hurd

80324. It was essentially for self defence that we went to war in Afghanistan and would go to war in Iraq. – Douglas Hurd

80325. There is no consensus even today on the merits of Napoleon – and certainly no agreement on the rights and wrongs of the origins of the First World War. – Douglas Hurd

80326. Men like Hitler and Stalin and their immediate lieutenants cannot plead in defence of their actions that these were justified by the accepted values of that time. – Douglas Hurd

80327. The tragedy of 9/11 galvanised the American superpower into action, leaving us in Europe divided in its wake. – Douglas Hurd

80328. The first two Prime Ministers whom I served, Ted Heath and Margaret Thatcher drew strikingly different lessons from the Second World War. – Douglas Hurd

80329. People know they are lacking something, they are constantly wanting some kind of spiritual guidance. – Douglas Hurd

80330. People are very interested in politics, they just don’t like it labelled politics. – Douglas Hurd

80331. No military timetable should compel war when a successful outcome, namely a disarmed Iraq may be feasible without war, for example by allowing more time to the UN inspectors. – Douglas Hurd

80332. There is nothing false or arrogant about German pride in German technical and business skills. – Douglas Hurd

80333. When someone gets a job, it better be clear what they did to get it. – Mark V. Hurd

80334. The more accountable I can make you, the easier it is for you to show you’re a great performer. – Mark V. Hurd

80335. The more I use a matrix, the easier I make it to blame someone else. – Mark V. Hurd

80336. We need to temper the idea that this company has to have some earthshaking event every 15 minutes. – Mark V. Hurd

80337. Our job is to execute. – Mark V. Hurd

80338. Sometimes I have wondered whether life wouldn’t be much more amusing if we were all devils, and no nonsense about angels and being good. – William Hurlbut

80339. I certainly don’t want a child of mine to be famous, or anyone I was very close to who isn’t yet… It’s the worst thing to be trapped in your house not be able to leave. – Elizabeth Hurley

80340. I was completely loyal and faithful to Stephen throughout this time as, indeed, he assured me he was to me. – Elizabeth Hurley

80341. I keep getting these extraordinary letteres, really weird ones from American sports stars – I’ve always thought you were one pretty lady and now that you’re single I want to meet you for a drink. – Elizabeth Hurley

80342. Being English, I always laugh at anything to do with the lavatory or bottoms. – Elizabeth Hurley

80343. A bit of lusting after someone does wonders for the skin. – Elizabeth Hurley

80344. I’ve always wanted to be a spy, and frankly I’m a little surprised that British intelligence has never approached me. – Elizabeth Hurley

80345. I’d kill myself if I was as fat as Marilyn Monroe. – Elizabeth Hurley

80346. I would seriously question whether anybody is really foolish enough to really say what they mean. Sometimes I think that civilization as we know it would kind of break down if we all were completely honest. – Elizabeth Hurley

80347. Nothing irritates me more than chronic laziness in others. Mind you, it’s only mental sloth I object to. Physical sloth can be heavenly. – Elizabeth Hurley

80348. If I would be in this business for business, I wouldn’t be in this business. – Sol Hurok

80349. If they’re not temperamental, I don’t want them. It’s in the nature of a great artist to be that way. – Sol Hurok

80350. The sky’s the limit if you have a roof over your head. – Sol Hurok

80351. When people don’t want to come, nothing will stop them. – Sol Hurok

80352. A woman has to be twice as good as a man to go half as far. – Fannie Hurst

80353. It takes a clever man to turn cynic and a wise man to be clever enough not to. – Fannie Hurst

80354. Sex is a discovery. – Fannie Hurst

80355. I’m not happy when I’m writing, but I’m more unhappy when I’m not. – Fannie Hurst

80356. Any writer worth the name is always getting into one thing or getting out of another thing. – Fannie Hurst

80357. Few enjoy noisy overcrowded functions. But they are a gesture of goodwill on the part of host or hostess, and also on the part of guests who submit to them. – Fannie Hurst

80358. Some people think they are worth a lot of money just because they have it. – Fannie Hurst

80359. Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It’s beyond me. – Zora Neale Hurston

80360. So the brother in black offers to these United States the source of courage that endures, and laughter. – Zora Neale Hurston

80361. Sweat, sweat, sweat! Work and sweat, cry and sweat, pray and sweat! – Zora Neale Hurston

80362. The man who interprets Nature is always held in great honor. – Zora Neale Hurston

80363. The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell. – Zora Neale Hurston

80364. There are years that ask questions and years that answer. – Zora Neale Hurston

80365. There is something about poverty that smells like death. – Zora Neale Hurston

80366. Those that don’t got it, can’t show it. Those that got it, can’t hide it. – Zora Neale Hurston

80370. The Haitian people are gentle and lovable except for their enormous and unconscious cruelty. – Zora Neale Hurston

80371. Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. – Zora Neale Hurston

80372. Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place. – Zora Neale Hurston

80373. It seems that fighting is a game where everybody is the loser. – Zora Neale Hurston

80374. It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it. – Zora Neale Hurston

80375. It was a weak spot in any nation to have a large body of disaffected people within its confusion. – Zora Neale Hurston

80376. It would be against all nature for all the Negroes to be either at the bottom, top, or in between. We will go where the internal drive carries us like everybody else. It is up to the individual. – Zora Neale Hurston

80377. It’s a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing nothing. – Zora Neale Hurston

80378. It’s no use of talking unless people understand what you say. – Zora Neale Hurston

80390. If you want that good feeling that comes from doing things for other folks then you have to pay for it in abuse and misunderstanding. – Zora Neale Hurston

80395. I did not just fall in love. I made a parachute jump. – Zora Neale Hurston

80396. I do not weep at the world I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife. – Zora Neale Hurston

80397. I have been in Sorrow’s kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and sword in my hands. – Zora Neale Hurston

80398. A thing is mighty big when time and distance cannot shrink it. – Zora Neale Hurston

80399. As Beckett said, it’s not enough to die, one has to be forgotten as well. – John Hurt

80400. Pretending to be other people is my game and that to me is the essence of the whole business of acting. – John Hurt

80401. Nudes are the greatest to paint. Everything you can find in a landscape or a still life or anything else is there: darkness and light, character dimension, texture. I painted heads too, of course. – John Hurt

80402. My parents felt that acting was far too insecure. Don’t ask me what made them think that painting would be more secure. – John Hurt

80403. My mother’s father drank and her mother was an unhappy, neurotic woman, and I think she has lived all her life afraid of anyone who drinks for fear something like that might happen to her. – John Hurt

80404. It’s quite a dangerous career move to go wilfully on making films that may not find a distributor. – John Hurt

80405. It would be difficult to have any unfulfilled ambitions because I don’t have any ambitions. I’ve never been that kind of performer. – John Hurt

80406. Also the wonderful thing about film, you can see light at the end of the tunnel. You did realise that it is going to come to an end at some stage. – John Hurt

80407. I am not an enormous believer in research being the be-all and end-all. I get suspicious when I read about actors spending six months in a clinic, say, in order to play someone who is sick. – John Hurt

80408. I turn up in Los Angeles every now and then, so I can get some big money films in order to finance my smaller money films. – John Hurt

80409. It’s an immensely competitive business, and I can tell you the older you get, the parts are fewer, and the people who are proven performers are greater. – John Hurt

80410. If I’m in theatre, cinema doesn’t even cross my mind. Similarly when I’m making a film, theatre doesn’t cross my mind. – John Hurt

80411. I have lots of favourite memories but I can’t say that I have a favourite film. – John Hurt

80412. I remember once when I told Lindsay Anderson at a party that acting was just a sophisticated way of playing cowboys and Indians he almost had a fit. – John Hurt

80413. I put everything I can into the mulberry of my mind and hope that it is going to ferment and make a decent wine. How that process happens, I’m sorry to tell you I can’t describe. – John Hurt

80414. I never quite understand why we watch the news. There doesn’t really seem much point watching somebody tell you what the news is when you could quite easily listen to it on the radio. – John Hurt

80415. I never had any ambition to be a star, or whatever it is called, and I’m still embarrassed at the word. – John Hurt

80416. I mark a script like an exam, and I try not to do anything under 50 per cent. Similarly with the part. And also film is a peculiar thing, parts don’t necessarily read in script form anything like as well as they can do when it comes to materialising. – John Hurt

80417. If you do an interview in 1960, something it’s bound to change by the year 2000. And if it doesn’t, then there’s something drastically wrong. – John Hurt

80418. I am so thrilled by the privilege of life, and yet at the same time I know that I have to let it go. – William Hurt

80419. All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy. – William Hurt

80420. Being a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful. – William Hurt

80421. Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful – unless one was striving for mediocrity. – William Hurt

80422. But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all. – William Hurt

80423. David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists. – William Hurt

80424. I was a science fiction junkie for a long time. – William Hurt

80425. What’s really frustrating with movies is the lack of improvement. – William Hurt

80426. The thing is David is also aware of everything and it’s not like you’re going somewhere the director is not. – William Hurt

80427. The simple fact of existence, of being aware that you are aware; this to me is the most astounding fact. – William Hurt

80428. The perfection in theater is that it’s over the second it’s done. – William Hurt

80429. Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I’m a failure. – William Hurt

80430. People who have expertise or the luck to have rehearsal time with cameras have it over people who don’t. – William Hurt

80431. Not to be offensive, not to be capricious, not to be arbitrary, not to be neurotic, not to be an actor outer, you’re just trying to get in and you’re given so little time to get in gently, but it’s always hard. – William Hurt

80432. It was the moment I learned acting is not acting out. After that light went on, I spent the rest of my life trying to figure out how to make other people realize it. – William Hurt

80433. It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don’t get to the mainstream. – William Hurt

80434. If you’re lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character. – William Hurt

80435. Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study. – William Hurt

80436. I was held hostage and almost executed by a man who was robbing us in the middle of the night. – William Hurt

80437. Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge. – William Hurt

80438. I want to prove a point. That point is, actors are artists, not narcissists necessarily. – William Hurt

80439. I very much prefer the balance in a scene to standing out and so you have to make a decision. – William Hurt

80440. I think acting can bring you closer to yourself and help you understand other people. – William Hurt

80444. I just looked at him because I want to be looking in someone’s eyes when I die. – William Hurt

80445. I have a film I want to direct. Gena Rowlands was going to do it with me a long time ago. It’s about an older woman who’s running a ranch in the west the old fashioned way. – William Hurt

80446. I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either. – William Hurt

80447. The thing is, I don’t believe in most of what’s done. The amount of financial and imaginative energy that’s put into mediocrity is just amazing which I find to be fundamentally offensive as a human being. – William Hurt

80448. I’ve been delighted by Cannes and Toronto but I keep saying I don’t know how good we’re going to be received in America because that’s where it’s most challenging. – William Hurt

80449. You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people’s idea of that mold. – William Hurt

80450. For God is my witness that I neither preached, affirmed, nor defended them, though they say that I did. – Jan Hus

80451. O God and Lord, now the council condemns even Your own act and Your own law as heresy, since You Yourself did lay Your cause before Your Father as the just judge, as an example for us, whenever we are sorely oppressed. – Jan Hus

80452. At seventeen, I knew the end of a dream… I would never be a schoolboy again. – King Hussein

80453. It is my firm belief that I have a link with the past and a responsibility to the future. I cannot give up. I cannot despair. There’s a whole future, generations to come. I have to keep trying. – King Hussein

80454. We should face reality and our past mistakes in an honest, adult way. Boasting of glory does not make glory, and singing in the dark does not dispel fear. – King Hussein

80455. Baghdad is determined to force the Mongols of our age to commit suicide at its gates. – Saddam Hussein

80456. Allah is on our side. That is why we will beat the aggressor. – Saddam Hussein

80457. I am not going to answer to this so-called court, out of respect for the truth and the will of the Iraqi people. I’ve said what I’ve said, and I’m not guilty. – Saddam Hussein

80459. I didn’t say ‘former president,’ I said ‘president,’ and I have the constitutional rights according to the constitution, including immunity from prosecution. – Saddam Hussein

80460. We are not intimidated by the size of the armies, or the type of hardware the US has brought. – Saddam Hussein

80461. You know me… If you are Iraqi, you know me. – Saddam Hussein

80462. We are ready to sacrifice our souls, our children and our families so as not to give up Iraq. We say this so no one will think that America is capable of breaking the will of the Iraqis with its weapons. – Saddam Hussein

80463. I said I’m the president of Iraq… I did not say deposed. – Saddam Hussein

80464. Those who fight in God’s cause will be victorious. – Saddam Hussein

80465. If you are Iraqi, you know who I am… and you know that I do not tire. I am the president of Iraq and I refuse to answer these questions because this court is illegitimate. – Saddam Hussein

80466. Remember the valiant Iraqi peasant and how he shot down an American Apache with an old weapon. – Saddam Hussein

80467. Politics is when you say you are going to do one thing while intending to do another. Then you do neither what you said nor what you intended. – Saddam Hussein

80468. There is much to be said for having an experienced international jurist who is entirely unconnected with the allied invaders, on the tribunal. – Saddam Hussein

80469. Who are you and what are you?… I need to know. – Saddam Hussein

80470. I was hit many times in various parts of the body, including my right leg, and thank God I am recovering. I was also severely wounded in my left leg. Iraqi and French doctors will conduct an operation shortly and, God willing, I will recover. – Uday Hussein

80471. It is not enough to tackle the mechanics of terror organizations. We must also tackle the situations that create terrorists. We desperately need to address the frustration, the loss and the despair that drive some to these actions. – King Hussein I

80472. In this life struggle, here I am among you fully cognizant that a true believer has no fear of what God has ordained for him. Those who are visited by fear live only for their present, under the illusion that the world began with them and will end with their departure. – King Hussein I

80473. I wish to say to you that the life of an enlightened people and a vibrant nation cannot be measured by the life of an individual. A successful person is one who manages to lay down a new stone, a brick that would help firm up his nation’s existence. – King Hussein I

80474. I will never work merely to make a reputation for myself, to be popular for appearances rather than for what I am. My task is to lead my country through service. – King Hussein I

80475. I have said this in the past and I will continue to repeat it as long as I live: Whoever tries to hurt our national unity is my enemy until the day of judgement. – King Hussein I

80476. I am ever mindful of the legacy of my grandfather, the founder of this Kingdom, who had said to me that he perceived his life as a link in a continuous chain of those who served our nation and that he expected me to be a new and strong link in the same chain. – King Hussein I

80477. We believe democracy to be the only real guarantor of stability and we have sought to create a ‘Jordanian model’ that might also inspire others in our region. I wish democracy and peace to be my legacy to my people and the shield of generations to come. – King Hussein I

80478. I am totally against the idea that a Muslim woman should not have the same opportunities as a Muslim man to learn, to open up, to work, help shape the future. To close Islam down to a sexist approach is totally intolerable and ridiculous. It’s not Islam. – King Hussein I

80479. It would behoove the world to become used to this fact: that without a just solution to the Palestine tragedy, there can be no stable peace in the Middle East. – King Hussein I

80480. I want to say a simple thing, that the dividing line exists not between Jordan and Israel, but between the proponents of peace and the opponents of peace. – King Hussein I

80481. Jordan has a strange, haunting beauty and a sense of timelessness. Dotted with the ruins of empires once great, it is the last resort of yesterday in the world of tomorrow. I love every inch of it. – King Hussein I

80482. Jordan seeks to play only one role, that of a model state. It is our aim to set an example for our Arab brethren, not one that they need follow but one that will inspire them to seek a higher, happier destiny within their own borders. – King Hussein I

80483. Let me say this loud and clear. There is a world of difference between terrorist acts and the Islamic Shari’a. Islam is not only a religion, but a way of life. And at its heart lie the sacred principles of tolerance and dialogue. – King Hussein I

80484. Nothing is more useless in developing a nation’s economy than a gun, and nothing blocks the road to social development more than the financial burden of war. War is the arch enemy of national progress and the modern scourge of civilized men. – King Hussein I

80485. Personality is reduced and deformed with depleted thoughts and stagnant mind. – King Hussein I

80486. The absence and suppression of justice can only open the way for extremists to exploit such a condition to perpetrate acts of violence against innocents. – King Hussein I

80487. God willing, we shall come to a stage where the world looks at the Palestinian question, and Palestinian rights on Palestinian national soil, as well as the questions of the occupied Syrian and Lebanese territories. These are the bases on which peace will be built. – King Hussein I

80488. Under the auspices of peace, our comprehensive renaissance will be built, and it will be a model for those who wish to emulate it in the greater Arab homeland. – King Hussein I

80489. Our religion does not discriminate according to color, sex or anything else. What counts is piety and faith. – King Hussein I

80490. We believe that peace is not just signed papers, but rather a contract between generations for the building of a more promising and less threatening future. – King Hussein I

80491. We belong to the camp of peace. We believe in peace. We believe that our one God wishes us to live in peace and wishes peace upon us, for these are His teachings to all the followers of the three great monotheistic religions, the Children of Abraham. – King Hussein I

80492. We oppose occupation of land by force and we believe in dialogue as the method for regaining Arab rights. This is the spirit of the Great Arab Revolt. – King Hussein I

80493. We respect opposition to any position or policy. But we believe that the opinion that should prevail and be respected is that of the majority. – King Hussein I

80494. Without peace and without the overwhelming majority of people that believe in peace defending it, working for it, believing in it, security can never really be a reality. – King Hussein I

80495. The link between peace and stability on the one hand, and social and economic growth on the other, is dialectic. Peace, poverty, and backwardness cannot mix in one region. – King Hussein I

80496. Fundamentalism as it is called is not confined to the Muslim world. It is something that we have seen in different parts of the world. Let us hope that a dialogue between the followers of the three great monotheistic religions could help in putting an end to this. – King Hussein I

80497. For our part, we shall continue to work for the new dawn when all the Children of Abraham and their descendants are living together in the birthplace of their three great monotheistic religions, a life free from fear, a life free from want – a life in peace. – King Hussein I

80498. All what we hope for is that a day will come, when we have all gone, when people will say that this man has tried, and his family tried. This is all there is to seek in this world. – King Hussein I

80499. God help us from those who believe that they are the sole possessors of truth. How we manage at times to agree willingly to become prisoners within our own minds and souls of beliefs and ideas on which we can never be flexible. – King Hussein I

80500. Real victories are those that protect human life, not those that result from its destruction or emerge from its ashes. – King Hussein I

80503. Within this widest concept of object, and specifically within the concept of individual object, Objects and phenomena stand in contrast with each other. – Edmund Husserl

80504. What is thematically posited is only what is given, by pure reflection, with all its immanent essential moments absolutely as it is given to pure reflection. – Edmund Husserl

80505. We would be in a nasty position indeed if empirical science were the only kind of science possible. – Edmund Husserl

80506. To every object there correspond an ideally closed system of truths that are true of it and, on the other hand, an ideal system of possible cognitive processes by virtue of which the object and the truths about it would be given to any cognitive subject. – Edmund Husserl

80507. To begin with, we put the proposition: pure phenomenology is the science of pure consciousness. – Edmund Husserl

80508. Something similar is still true of the courses followed by manifold intuitions which together make up the unity of one continuous consciousness of one and the same object. – Edmund Husserl

80509. The actuality of all of material Nature is therefore kept out of action and that of all corporeality along with it, including the actuality of my body, the body of the cognizing subject. – Edmund Husserl

80510. Experience by itself is not science. – Edmund Husserl

80511. If all consciousness is subject to essential laws in a manner similar to that in which spatial reality is subject to mathematical laws, then these essential laws will be of most fertile significance in investigating facts of the conscious life of human and brute animals. – Edmund Husserl

80512. In a few decades of reconstruction, even the mathematical natural sciences, the ancient archetypes of theoretical perfection, have changed habit completely! – Edmund Husserl

80513. In all the areas within which the spiritual life of humanity is at work, the historical epoch wherein fate has placed us is an epoch of stupendous happenings. – Edmund Husserl

80514. It just is nothing foreign to consciousness at all that could present itself to consciousness through the mediation of phenomena different from the liking itself; to like is intrinsically to be conscious. – Edmund Husserl

80515. Natural objects, for example, must be experienced before any theorizing about them can occur. – Edmund Husserl

80516. Philosophers, as things now stand, are all too fond of offering criticism from on high instead of studying and understanding things from within. – Edmund Husserl

80517. Psychologically experienced consciousness is therefore no longer pure consciousness; construed Objectively in this way, consciousness itself becomes something transcendent, becomes an event in that spatial world which appears, by virtue of consciousness, to be transcendent. – Edmund Husserl

80518. Pure phenomenology claims to be the science of pure phenomena. This concept of the phenomenon, which was developed under various names as early as the eighteenth century without being clarified, is what we shall have to deal with first of all. – Edmund Husserl

80519. The ideal of a pure phenomenology will be perfected only by answering this question; pure phenomenology is to be separated sharply from psychology at large and, specifically, from the descriptive psychology of the phenomena of consciousness. – Edmund Husserl

80520. I had one nanny who made me sit in front of a bowl of porridge for three or four days running when I refused to eat it. I remember being very unhappy about that. – Anjelica Huston

80521. It’s still possible to find pockets of old Dublin – but its becoming more and more rarified. – Anjelica Huston

80522. Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day. – Anjelica Huston

80523. I am a person whose father had no religion but who went to the nuns for a couple of years. And I think I’m the same: On one hand, I pray; on the other hand, I don’t believe. I am constantly between the two. – Anjelica Huston

80524. I do like the ocean wave, actually. I’m born under the sign of Cancer – the sign of the crab – so I like coastal areas and sunny beaches and such – although not the wide-open and deep seas. – Anjelica Huston

80525. I’ve always thought with relationships, that it’s more about what you bring to the table than what you’re going to get from it. It’s very nice if you sit down and the cake appears. But if you go to the table expecting cake, then it’s not so good. – Anjelica Huston

80526. Some people had fathers who were bankers or farmers, my father made films, that’s how I saw it. As for the movie stars, they were just around, some of them were friends, others weren’t, it was all just a part of my everyday life. – Anjelica Huston

80527. Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth. – Anjelica Huston

80528. Oh, all kinds of lunacy happens in Ireland, all kinds of lunacy. – Anjelica Huston

80529. I don’t see myself ever retiring, unless it’s for something that I like better, and so far I like directing a lot but I don’t see the necessity to retire from anything unless there’s a really great alternative. – Anjelica Huston

80530. It was great to work in Ireland because it’s such a beautiful country, but it’s not particularly easy to film in because the weather changes all the time. – Anjelica Huston

80531. I don’t think it’s necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck. – Anjelica Huston

80532. My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I’m not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress. – Anjelica Huston

80533. I’m very fond of doing movies where men fight over me. I don’t get to do enough. – Anjelica Huston

80534. I’m not all that big on rides. I sort of like bumper cars but I don’t really go to Disneyland all that much unless if have nieces and nephews or people to take. – Anjelica Huston

80535. I think most actors like to be liked. – Anjelica Huston

80536. I think all actors – they’ll hate me for saying this – but we are babies. We like to be loved, and we’ll do anything if we’re loved. – Anjelica Huston

80537. I like it when you read a script and there’s the part that you show to the other characters and then there’s the part that only the audience knows. – Anjelica Huston

80538. I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with. – Anjelica Huston

80539. I know certainly, when one job draws to a close, that I feel I’m simply never going to work again. No one will ever want me for anything ever again. I think that’s a vulnerable moment in every actor’s life, and it happens every time you finish a film. – Anjelica Huston

80540. I’m not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor. – Anjelica Huston

80541. It’s not color, it’s like pouring 40 tablespoons of sugar water over a roast. – John Huston

80542. After all, crime is only a left-handed form of human endeavor. – John Huston

80543. Hollywood has always been a cage… a cage to catch our dreams. – John Huston

80544. You walk through a series of arches, so to speak, and then, presently, at the end of a corridor, a door opens and you see backward through time, and you feel the flow of time, and realize you are only part of a great nameless procession. – John Huston

80545. I prefer to think that God is not dead, just drunk. – John Huston

80546. The directing of a picture involves coming out of your individual loneliness and taking a controlling part in putting together a small world. A picture is made. You put a frame around it and move on. And one day you die. That is all there is to it. – John Huston

80547. What to do when inspiration doesn’t come; be careful not to spook, get the wind up, force things into position. You must wait around until the idea comes. – John Huston

80548. I don’t try to guess what a million people will like. It’s hard enough to know what I like. – John Huston

80550. I manage to scrape together a private life, despite the press. – Michael Hutchence

80551. Actually, I find it embarrassing being a pop star. I prefer it when people just treat me like anybody else, although occasionally there is a side of me, which is indulgent and I expect certain things because of my position. It’s one of the perks. – Michael Hutchence

80552. But then, you know, I’m very happy, I’ve got to this stage in my life and I’m not dead. I haven’t got married and divorced and done all that palimony business, you know all that mess. – Michael Hutchence

80553. But we got up there and decided to stick to this mix of power chords and funk and that’s where it really started for us. In having the courage to take that decision. To take a gamble not just with our music but our lives. – Michael Hutchence

80554. Every actor I know wants to be a pop star. – Michael Hutchence

80555. Fame makes me feel wanted and loved, anybody wants that. – Michael Hutchence

80558. I hate it when people lose it, there’s nothing left because they’re not interesting, they’re boring, I hate it, and especially smack, people on smack are the most boring in the world. – Michael Hutchence

80559. I know all’s fair in love and war but when you go off and try to be by yourself and it ends up on the front page of the press it’s frightening, knowing your life is under such scrutiny. – Michael Hutchence

80560. We always thought it strange that nobody was up on that stage playing soul stuff. Maybe people were playing it in their garages, like us, but they always reverted to pure rock when they got on stage. – Michael Hutchence

80561. I look at Jagger and the like and if I see a good attitude I’ll admire it but I wouldn’t copy their style. – Michael Hutchence

80562. Women are incredible in groups together. Terrifying. Men have nothing on them. – Michael Hutchence

80563. I still haven’t come to grips with our success. – Michael Hutchence

80564. I think there is a certain sensibility to someone you are attracted to and when it rubs off that’s good. – Michael Hutchence

80566. I’ve never tried to emulate anyone. I’ve never idolized people, I prefer instead to get off on attitudes. – Michael Hutchence

80567. You know sometimes I just want to curl up on stage and lie there for a while – it’s weird. – Michael Hutchence

80568. It’s just as difficult to live in a self-made hell of privacy as it is to live in a self-made hell of publicity. – Michael Hutchence

80587. Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes different points of view. – Robert M. Hutchins

80593. I do here speak it before the court. I look that the Lord should deliver me by his providence. – Anne Hutchinson

80601. The Lord knows that I could not open scripture; he must by his prophetical office open it unto me. So after that being unsatisfied in the thing, the Lord was pleased to bring this scripture out of the Hebrews. – Anne Hutchinson

80613. We recognize that it is not only inbound but also outbound (cargo) that can pose a risk as well. – Asa Hutchinson

80614. We would certainly welcome the recipient nation to put their inspectors on our shores, if they wanted to make that investment to help protect that shipment that is outgoing. – Asa Hutchinson

80615. Well firstly, that points certainly at the need for international standards on biometrics that would move in the same direction so that we can have the same technical requirements. – Asa Hutchinson

80616. Well, your premise is correct, that we have to first guard against those who have an affiliation with terrorists and a connection, and so we have watch lists and systems that can make that connection. – Asa Hutchinson

80617. You can expect interior enforcement actions in the future. – Asa Hutchinson

80618. Terrorists can utilize any vulnerability in the system and that would include outbound shipments. – Asa Hutchinson

80619. We are a step closer to it now – the doomsday scenario. – Tim Hutchinson

80620. The important thing is that we recognize our President’s leadership, that he is not saying: I am going to walk away from this. He is saying: I am going to do the right thing. – Kay Bailey Hutchison

80621. We are battling fanatics who kidnap and behead civilians and shoot fleeing children in the back. There can be no dialogue with such people, and the American people understand this. – Kay Bailey Hutchison

80626. Our country was hit on 9/11, 2001. Everybody in the world knows that. It hasn’t been easy to deal with a different kind of enemy, but that is what we have, a different kind of enemy. – Kay Bailey Hutchison

80629. There are elections in which everyone knows that ‘the people have spoken’ but they don’t always know exactly what the people have said. This November’s election was different. Not only did the people speak, they spoke clearly. – Kay Bailey Hutchison

80631. Some kind of fun lasts longer than others. – Betty Hutton

80632. There would have to be something wrong with someone who could throw out a child’s first Valentine card saying, I love you, Mommy. – Ginger Hutton

80633. The past history of our globe must be explained by what can be seen to be happening now. No powers are to be employed that are not natural to the globe, no action to be admitted except those of which we know the principle. – James Hutton

80634. What more can we require? Nothing but time. – James Hutton

80635. We must seek to persuade member states and institutions that better regulation in Europe does not mean cutting health and safety in the workplace, nor does it mean dismantling social standards. – John Hutton

80636. Advances in technology and in our understanding of illness and disease together with an expanded workforce and greater resources will allow us to provide more services to a higher quality. – John Hutton

80637. More than 50% of significant new regulations that impact on business in the UK now emanate from the EU. – John Hutton

80638. It is also right that we continue to consult with front line workers and the public to ensure that targets are reasonable and achievable, that measurement regimes are proportionate and that the targets take full account of the other reforms that are under way. – John Hutton

80639. If we took Chaucer’s writings at face value, we’d have to conclude he was a complete drip. – John Hutton

80640. Having decisions made not in midnight deals but in the light of objective evidence and after consulting those who will be affected should itself provide some reassurance that the EU is trying to reform itself. – John Hutton

80641. From my time in Health I know that choice empowers people lives. – John Hutton

80642. For too long nurses have been undervalued, restricted in what they could do, with too few career opportunities in clinical practice. For far too long, nurses have endured a pay system that has held them back – both professionally as well as financially. – John Hutton

80643. For many Europeans the next decade looks to be filled with threats rather than opportunities. – John Hutton

80644. But we need to show that the EU can modernise itself, can adapt to the needs of its citizens, can take their views into account. That will be our ambition for the UK Presidency. – John Hutton

80645. But we can turn challenges into opportunities if we look outwards to the realities of the global economy and modernise our internal institutions in ways that will equip Europe to meet that challenge and create confidence amongst the public. – John Hutton

80646. But let no one be under any doubt that the scale of the challenge that Europe faces in this emerging global economy is immense and the practical pace of our collective action to meet these challenge to date has just been too slow. – John Hutton

80647. But effective regulation at the European Union level can make a massive contribution to achieving our shared goals of improving competitiveness, jobs and growth. – John Hutton

80648. At the heart of these challenges lies the question of how the institutions of the European Union make laws, the types of laws they pass and the effectiveness with which those laws are implemented on civil society and the economy. – John Hutton

80649. Yet in order to make sure the European social model keeps up with the pace of economic change that is now necessary, the EU must embrace a new approach to lawmaking. – John Hutton

80650. And, in the past, it has been all too easy for legislators to load costs onto business in order to meet broader social goals. And costs for business means costs for consumers. – John Hutton

80651. Western Europe GDP per capita – not taking into account the new accession counties – was lower in 2001 relative to that of the US than any time since the 1960’s. – John Hutton

80652. Our aim, during our Presidency in the next six months will be to lead this challenge, to show that Europe can function in a mature and responsible way, to start delivering tangible results that show we are taking people’s concerns seriously. – John Hutton

80653. Our objective must therefore be to ensure EU better regulation contributes towards delivering a modern European Union which relentlessly focuses on building a dynamic and innovative economy equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century. – John Hutton

80654. Primary care must never be seen simply as a set of organisational structures. – John Hutton

80655. Road testing the effects of regulation on European business must become second nature to the European Union. – John Hutton

80656. So that we focus not on competing visions for Europe but on what Europe can do to improve economic growth, to give us a cleaner environment, to create more jobs, to make us more secure. – John Hutton

80657. Greater personal choice, individually tailored services, stronger local accountability, greater efficiency – these are all central to the new direction of travel we have set for our public services. – John Hutton

80658. Some people argue that we should limit choice in favour of good local services. My response is simple: why should we assume those two concepts are mutually exclusive? – John Hutton

80659. The challenge to our national economies and the collective economy of Europe will become – with the growth of China and the continuing productivity growth of the US – even more intense in the decades to come. – John Hutton

80660. The Civil Service is a vital economic asset to the UK – firstly, in the way it creates a framework for excellence in service delivery and secondly, in how it helps organise the best way to deliver modern public services on which both businesses and individuals depend. – John Hutton

80661. There is no such thing as free regulation. – John Hutton

80662. This call for a new culture is not a new idea. – John Hutton

80663. My view is that targets, properly constructed and applied across public services have been fundamental to past successes and will be an essential part of sustaining progress into the future. – John Hutton

80664. As Tony Blair has made clear, our fundamental challenge is how to make Europe work better. – John Hutton

80665. Here in the UK the government has decided to accept the recommendations of the Better Regulation Task Force to measure and make targeted reductions in the administrative costs – the red tape costs – that regulations impose on business. – John Hutton

80666. I look at my first appointment book from 1965 and I get dizzy. I was constantly in a phone booth calling photographers. – Lauren Hutton

80674. I discovered myself! – Lauren Hutton

80675. I don’t spend much money on clothes; I never did. – Lauren Hutton

80676. I had always broken the rules. – Lauren Hutton

80677. I was making $50 a week as a house model at Christian Dior for nine months before I learned that photographic models made $50 an hour! – Lauren Hutton

80678. There are plenty of beautiful girls who don’t photograph well. – Lauren Hutton

80679. I’m not part of the cultural elite. I’m a down-home girl. Always have been, always will be. – Lauren Hutton

80680. In 1974, the modeling world changed. Jerry Ford and my lawyer negotiated the deal for the first exclusive contract in modeling history. – Lauren Hutton

80681. Lord knows, I never want to waste any more of my time in mirrors. – Lauren Hutton

80682. No one’s raising children any more. To love a child, you’ve got to work for it. You have to change its diapers and feed it at night! – Lauren Hutton

80683. That’s the mistake women make – you shouldn’t see your makeup. We don’t want to look like we’ve made an effort. – Lauren Hutton

80684. The last thing we need is yet another makeup company. Even I have a nervous breakdown when I go through the department store makeup floor. – Lauren Hutton

80685. I’d like to be the first model who becomes a woman. – Lauren Hutton

80686. I had 30-something years’ experience in modeling, which is rare. – Lauren Hutton

80687. We have to be able to grow up. Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life. They are what we have been through and who we want to be. – Lauren Hutton

80688. I saw a guy being really abusive to his girlfriend. She was asking people to help, but no one would. When he grabbed her, I tried to separate them, but he turned on me. I punched him and knocked him down. It wasn’t a scandal; I was just doing what anybody should. – Timothy Hutton

80689. Here’s one thing I can’t understand: people who are friends with their exes. – Timothy Hutton

80690. It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged. – Aldous Huxley

80691. From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history), men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn. – Aldous Huxley

80692. I’m afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery. – Aldous Huxley

80693. If human beings were shown what they’re really like, they’d either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves. – Aldous Huxley

80694. I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself. – Aldous Huxley

80695. Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power. – Aldous Huxley

80696. One of the great attractions of patriotism – it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what’s more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous. – Aldous Huxley

80697. That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history. – Aldous Huxley

80707. Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them. – Aldous Huxley

80708. Perhaps it’s good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he’s happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life? – Aldous Huxley

80709. It’s with bad sentiments that one makes good novels. – Aldous Huxley

80739. Hell isn’t merely paved with good intentions; it’s walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too. – Aldous Huxley

80773. You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad. – Aldous Huxley
