82476. I’m married now, so I have a life. I had to get a life. That’s one thing I really had to do, you know. You do that kind of work on television series after television series and you don’t have a life. So, that’s part of what I did while I was gone, I got a life. – Kate Jackson

82654. Like Jermaine was saying, it’s a beautiful day, and we’re just glad all of this is behind us. We can go on with our lives. And Michael can go on with his life and do what he does best, and that’s making good music, making his fans happy, people happy all over the world. – Tito Jackson
82655. Oh, Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson. And no matter if he sold 40 million records off of one record and sold 15 off his last or whatever the counts may be, Michael Jackson will be Michael Jackson. – Tito Jackson
82656. Some people are probably scratching their heads and saying, How did that happen? That’s because some of the media didn’t give the public the full story. – Tito Jackson
82657. Well, I don’t have anything to say to Mr. Sneddon, you know? Nothing at all. – Tito Jackson
82658. There was a lot of Southern Baptist preachers and some yelling ones but mostly we had a pastor who didn’t scream and I found a lot of comfort and joy and peace as a child hearing the Bible. – Victoria Jackson
82659. It doesn’t make your life stop being fun to be a Christian. – Victoria Jackson
82660. Maybe entertainment is not supposed to be reality. – Victoria Jackson
82661. Maybe if I could ever be a successful comedian then I could be an example that Christians can also have fun. – Victoria Jackson
82662. Movies are nice, but there are very few roles for women and most of them are sluts or something. – Victoria Jackson
82663. Now, I don’t mind making fun of those preachers who steal money from people, they kind of deserve it. – Victoria Jackson
82664. Religion is man’s attempt to bind himself back to a relationship with God. – Victoria Jackson
82665. So finally I came up with a thing that felt really pure, and I’m Christian, so when I hear about death I have a lot of hope because I believe in Jesus and life after death, and John 3:16. – Victoria Jackson
82666. Sometimes I like to vent. – Victoria Jackson

82683. I thought it was a really good contrast to have a really sweet, sincere, church girl sitting next to the church lady who seemed kind of, you know, over the top. – Victoria Jackson
82684. I wasn’t really qualified to be on Saturday Night Live – I’m not like an impressionist or anything. – Victoria Jackson

82687. I stayed a virgin until I was 23. I didn’t do drugs or drink or smoke. – Victoria Jackson
82688. Because I hate fake people and I always think I’m never fake. – Victoria Jackson
82689. Yeah, they let me do whatever I wanted to. – Wanda Jackson
82690. It seems like the good things that have happened in my career are things that you don’t try to plan and push, and make it happen, it just seems to happen. – Wanda Jackson
82691. None of the other guys in the band really sang, so that’s when I brought Roy Clark in. – Wanda Jackson
82692. On that show, I did country and some rock, too, whatever record I had out at the time, I’d sing that. – Wanda Jackson
82693. Right, different generations come along, and discover the music, I think. – Wanda Jackson
82694. So, it’s nice to know that you’ve inspired someone to do their life’s work. – Wanda Jackson
82695. There wasn’t so many ISSUES like there are today. It was a simpler time. – Wanda Jackson

82697. You could have a hit in California that no one had heard of in Oklahoma. – Wanda Jackson
82698. It really is, to see that this kind of music is still so popular. – Wanda Jackson
82699. I loved Carl Perkins, Jerry lee Lewis… not only were they personal friends. – Wanda Jackson
82700. You know, no one steered people’s careers in those days, I don’t think, like they do today. – Wanda Jackson

82705. As I go back and listen, the other girls weren’t singing quite like I was. – Wanda Jackson
82706. Getting comments like that from even the young people at the shows who probably aren’t singers, the girls who just tell me that I’m an inspiration to them, for one reason or another. – Wanda Jackson
82707. And it wasn’t until ’84 when I was first asked to come to Sweden and do an album and concert tour. – Wanda Jackson

82714. But, we didn’t have all the media that we do today. – Wanda Jackson

82721. I pitched my last children’s show presentation in the mid 1980’s. The era of locally produced children’s shows was over and the networks were not and are not interested in children’s television. – William Jackson
82722. I have no idea how to become successful in children’s tv programming today other than to say that whereever you find that rare animal being pursued, insert yourself into its environment; get in the door in any position and work from within. – William Jackson
82723. A lot of industry groups have said they support a federal law. They don’t want to have to deal with 50 different state laws. – William Jackson
82724. For me, this world of questions and the provisional, this chase after an answer that was always put off to the next day, all that was euphoric. I lived in the future. – Francois Jacob

82733. It was never physically dangerous except when I nearly fell off a horse, but it was physically arduous – especially when you were working late at night. – Derek Jacobi
82734. It’s too hard a life for me. I could only do it – check out in that sense – if I checked out somewhere that was luxurious and within hailing distance of civilization. – Derek Jacobi
82735. My first course came and I put down my book, and I just happened to put up my hand to scratch my head and discovered that my toupee had been blown by the wind and was folded over backwards on the top of my head! – Derek Jacobi
82736. One of the last episodes was all about a flood. We were working in the rain till all hours, and it was muddy and it was cold and it was damp, and it was hours under the hoses. That was not pleasant. That was not pleasant. – Derek Jacobi
82737. Originally they wanted it to be bigger, but I pleaded and pleaded and pleaded to have the smallest tonsure that they could get away with. A tonsure that could still be seen, but, I worried about my social life! – Derek Jacobi
82738. Real-life people are often the hardest to play, people that you recreate who have actually lived, because you have to live up to people’s knowledge of those characters. – Derek Jacobi
82739. Reputation is fine but you have to keep justifying it. In a sense, it makes it harder because people’s expectations of you are higher. So, you have to fulfill those expectations. Or, try to exceed those expectations. But, it becomes more difficult as time goes on. – Derek Jacobi
82740. Sir Larry could be very strict and a disciplinarian, too. He had many faces; he wore many hats. But, ultimately, he loved the theater and he loved actors. – Derek Jacobi
82741. I’ve been a professional actor now for 38 years. A long time. And it’s wonderful to earn your living doing something that you love. To think people actually give you money for it! – Derek Jacobi
82742. They were totally supportive, always saw everything I did. One of the thrills of my life was when they went to the theater to see something that I wasn’t in. It opened doors for them that otherwise would have been totally closed. – Derek Jacobi
82743. It’s often difficult to slough off all that we’ve acquired, all the comforts and safety nets modern life provides for us, and realize that in those days, people were living very much on the edge – life was incredibly hard! – Derek Jacobi
82744. We started filming in 1993 which was only four years after the fall of communism. The difference in Budapest over the last five years has been remarkable. – Derek Jacobi
82745. What was so good about it was that the set that they originally built stayed there, and weathered over the five years. It got five summers and five winters of weather. It became more and more authentic as we worked in it, and they added bits to it. – Derek Jacobi
82746. You have to get through the Hamlet hoop as a young actor. Your classical qualifications are based on the quality of your Hamlet. And then, as an older actor, you have to get through the Lear hoop. And I’m approaching the Lear hoop. – Derek Jacobi
82747. You have to pretend to live in those clothes that they lived in, to live within the climate that they had then. You have to imagine with the help, obviously, of all the other technicians that are around – the writer, the director, the other actors. – Derek Jacobi
82748. There’s never been any game plan or thread through my career. It’s just happened that I’ve ricocheted from one interesting character to another. – Derek Jacobi
82749. I am an actor and I live in the world of pretend in my working capacity. I live in the world of my imagination. – Derek Jacobi
82750. Actors, I don’t think, ever really grow up. I’m hoping that that rejuvenating process applies to me, too. It has so far. I’ve been very lucky. – Derek Jacobi
82751. Ellis Peters’s historical detail is very accurate and very minute, and therefore is not only interesting to read but good for an actor to acquire a sense of the period. And the other thing I think is that an actor lives in the land of imagination. – Derek Jacobi
82752. Every person who is offered a knighthood has the opportunity to say yes or no. You get a letter from the Prime Minister saying you’ve been recommended for a knighthood and there are two little boxes, one says yes, one says no. – Derek Jacobi
82753. Knowing that we were doing good work and the stories were good. They were original and charming. They weren’t particularly violent or sexy or any of that. They were just unique and that had a good feel to it. – Derek Jacobi
82754. He was somebody who made me think, I suppose, about the contemplative life. I’ve always been a city fellow, but I’ve often had vague thoughts about ‘checking out’ and perhaps going into a monastery and just seeing what it was like. – Derek Jacobi
82755. I’m always conscious of the fact that I am part of a profession that is 80% permanently unemployed. So, to be working in any sense is to be privileged. – Derek Jacobi
82756. I don’t think he’s permanently affected me except in the sense that I miss him. I miss being him. Or trying to be him. He is one of a gallery of characters that have had an impact on my career and therefore my life. – Derek Jacobi
82757. I had to think long and hard about what it would imply, what it would mean. Would it mean any alterations of one’s lifestyle? Or, more than that, the way that people regarded you? The way they reacted to you if you had a Sir in front of your name? – Derek Jacobi
82758. I never lose that terror of ‘this is my last job, I’ll never work again.’ You can never relax and rely on whatever reputation you’ve built. – Derek Jacobi
82759. I think actors always retain one foot in the cradle. We’re switched on to our youth, to our childhood. We have to be because we’re in the business of transferring emotions to other people. – Derek Jacobi
82760. I think my parents were happy that I’d gone to university and gotten a degree in history so they thought, ‘Well if acting doesn’t work for him, he can always become a history teacher or something.’ Fortunately, the acting worked out. – Derek Jacobi
82761. I think that each character has fascinated and interested me enough to want to play him. – Derek Jacobi
82762. I thought it was getting better and better, because the production values were increasing each time we did it. – Derek Jacobi
82763. I truly don’t know why it was ended, though. It was suddenly decided that that would be it. They never said particularly why, because they were cut off in their prime. – Derek Jacobi
82764. I’d gone into that restaurant and sat down and the waitress had taken my order and everybody else had seen me with this what must have looked like this creature, this animal, sitting on the top of my head! – Derek Jacobi
82765. I would like to be as fit as I’ve always been. I’ve been blessed with good health, I’ve been blessed with stamina. Particularly for those great classical roles, you need an Olympian stamina. I, fortunately, have that. – Derek Jacobi
82766. I shall miss all the people in it and the great fun we had doing it. I enjoyed playing the character very much. It was a very, very special character and a very special series. And the camaraderie of it all. I loved it. – Derek Jacobi
82767. He was living in an age much more dangerous, more painful, much more on the edge than our own particular age. – Derek Jacobi

82777. Every where the years bring to all enough of sin and sorrow; but in slavery the very dawn of life is darkened by these shadows. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82778. No pen can give an adequate description of the all-pervading corruption produced by slavery. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82779. When I was six years old, my mother died; and then, for the first time, I learned, by the talk around me, that I was a slave. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82780. Always it gave me a pang that my children had no lawful claim to a name. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82781. If a slave is unwilling to go with his new master, he is whipped, or locked up in jail, until he consents to go, and promises not to run away during the year. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82782. I would rather drudge out my life on a cotton plantation, till the grave opened to give me rest, than to live with an unprincipled master and a jealous mistress. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82783. For years, my master had done his utmost to pollute my mind with foul images, and to destroy the pure principles inculcated by my grandmother, and the good mistress of my childhood. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82784. If you want to be fully convinced of the abominations of slavery, go on a southern plantation, and call yourself a negro trader. Then there will be no concealment; and you will see and hear things that will seem to you impossible among human beings with immortal souls. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82785. DURING the first years of my service in Dr. Flint’s family, I was accustomed to share some indulgences with the children of my mistress. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82786. Dr. Flint had sworn that he would make me suffer, to my last day, for this new crime against him, as he called it; and as long as he had me in his power he kept his word. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82787. Death is better than slavery. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82788. Cruelty is contagious in uncivilized communities. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82789. But to the slave mother New Year’s day comes laden with peculiar sorrows. She sits on her cold cabin floor, watching the children who may all be torn from her the next morning; and often does she wish that she and they might die before the day dawns. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82790. But I now entered on my fifteenth year – a sad epoch in the life of a slave girl. My master began to whisper foul words in my ear. Young as I was, I could not remain ignorant of their import. – Harriet Ann Jacobs
82791. I WAS born a slave; but I never knew it till six years of happy childhood had passed away. – Harriet Ann Jacobs

82793. The point of cities is multiplicity of choice. – Jane Jacobs
82794. Some men tend to cling to old intellectual excitements, just as some belles, when they are old ladies, still cling to the fashions and coiffures of their exciting youth. – Jane Jacobs

82796. Sentimentality about nature denatures everything it touches. – Jane Jacobs
82797. I said, ‘Okay, it’s the year 2000, I’m getting a computer and a Palm Pilot.’ I know how to check my e-mail, and I’ve listed some phone numbers on it. Half the time the battery has gone out so I can’t use it. – Marc Jacobs
82798. That was a time when I did love music, I couldn’t get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right – and non-commercial – had become so influential, so immediately. – Marc Jacobs
82799. Sometimes there are two very opposite directions, and we go with the stronger one at the end. It’s an impulse thing, like, ‘Oh, I love both so much, but it’s got to be one or the other because the two don’t work together.’ – Marc Jacobs
82800. Sometimes I miss hamburgers, I should say that. I miss the tuna pizzas at Mercer Kitchen. – Marc Jacobs
82801. Sofia is so active, and she made The Virgin Suicides, which I thought was great – all these things are inspiring to me, not in terms of creating a particular dress, but just in terms of knowing that there is this type of woman out there. – Marc Jacobs
82802. It’s quite nice to see that I didn’t have to change who I was to reach two very different types of people. – Marc Jacobs
82803. We’re developing things, but I don’t know what we’ll go with for the show, so I don’t like to talk about it. – Marc Jacobs
82804. It just seemed too weird to me. I don’t know, maybe they were smoking a joint in the car downstairs from their parents’ apartment. I had to go that far to put together a scenario of how they could have possibly recognized me. – Marc Jacobs
82805. I think of many people and no one as a muse. I love the way Sofia looks always, and I love the way Kim looks always. Fashion may be part of their world, but it’s not their whole life. It’s not everything. – Marc Jacobs

82807. I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world. – Marc Jacobs
82808. I like spending time at home. In Paris, people drop by and have a bite to eat, or they drop by and watch Friends on TV. I take my dog to the office there, and I walk to work sometimes. – Marc Jacobs
82809. I don’t think, ‘Gee, I’d like to dress this person.’ There was a picture in Us magazine. It was a jersey dress, and Courtney Love was wearing it. I have this thing about Courtney Love, this funny worship. – Marc Jacobs
82810. I always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I’m recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it’s not as commonplace to be recognized. – Marc Jacobs
82811. I’d like to believe that the women who wear my clothes are not dressing for other people, that they’re wearing what they like and what suits them. It’s not a status thing. – Marc Jacobs
82812. I wouldn’t know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it. – Marc Jacobs
82813. You will soon find that I am a bit obsessive about my work. And that is a little sad, one often feels strangely restricted, not finding time to simmer, although one actually has many interests. – Arne Jacobsen
82814. Now, the downside to conservation is that so much is done for the public, which almost always mars the environment that one wanted to conserve. – Arne Jacobsen
82815. On the other hand, I don’t understand the enthusiasm for everything in the antique shop that Grandma threw out. There, the sense of quality has declined; otherwise Grandma wouldn’t have thrown it out. – Arne Jacobsen
82816. People buy a chair, and they don’t really care who designed it. – Arne Jacobsen
82817. Proportions are what makes the old Greek temples classic in their beauty. They are like huge blocks, from which the air has been literally hewn out between the columns. – Arne Jacobsen
82818. That business of relaxation, which is so terribly modern today, is all good and well, but my work interests me so much, and is so varied, that many times it seems relaxing when I go from one aspect to another. – Arne Jacobsen
82819. That is the artistic task: To choose the best from these solutions. – Arne Jacobsen
82820. The primary factor is proportions. – Arne Jacobsen
82821. There is always a point when one senses one’s lack of skill, the doubt. – Arne Jacobsen
82822. With a painter or a sculptor, one cannot begin to alter his works, but an architect has to put up with anything, because he makes utility objects – the building is there to be used, and times change. – Arne Jacobsen
82823. In addressing a task, one almost always has several possible options, sometimes only a few, and they may all be practical and functional. But they lack the aesthetic aspect that raises it to architecture. – Arne Jacobsen
82824. I don’t see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly. – Arne Jacobsen
82825. When I travel, I draw and paint sketches which is great fun. And as long as you are fully aware that it has nothing to do with actual art, I think that’s all right. – Arne Jacobsen
82826. Carrying out the thing, getting it to the point when one might say: There, now it is good – that point is hard to reach. Often, one sets very high goals for oneself. Perhaps too high. – Arne Jacobsen
82827. In a way, the sense of quality has improved, the status symbol of the small things is gone, and it is acceptable to use stainless steel, even if the neighbour uses silver. – Arne Jacobsen
82828. And when an architect has designed a house with large windows, which is a necessity today in order to pull the daylight into these very deep houses, then curtains come to play a big role in architecture. – Arne Jacobsen
82829. Architecture tends to consume everything else, it has become one’s entire life. – Arne Jacobsen
82830. But inspiration? – That’s when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well, have you found inspiration? – and fortunately you haven’t. But the impressions sink in, of course, and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house; that was done many thousands of years ago. – Arne Jacobsen
82831. Furniture manufacturing in plastics requires very costly machinery, which the Danish market is not big enough to justify. Or so they say. But show me a plastics manufacturer who dares to take on the experiment. – Arne Jacobsen
82832. I am going to be working on bathroom fittings for a company in the USA, and then I thought it was appropriate to simplify the fittings and, thus, lowering the cost. – Arne Jacobsen
82833. I do not feel certain until I have confronted my initial solution with other solutions – although in fact the first solution often proves to be the right one. – Arne Jacobsen
82834. If a building becomes architecture, then it is art. – Arne Jacobsen
82835. I have no philosophy, my favourite thing is sitting in the studio. – Arne Jacobsen
82836. Almost every time I make a building, some people will condemn it straight to Hell. – Arne Jacobsen
82837. If architecture had nothing to do with art, it would be astonishingly easy to build houses, but the architect’s task – his most difficult task – is always that of selecting. – Arne Jacobsen
82838. Besides, I think that when one has been through a boarding school, especially then, you have some resistance, because it was both fine comradeship and a fairly hard training. – Arne Jacobsen
82839. It is our art that has an opportunity to leave a footprint in the sand. They don’t wrap fish in our work. – Hugh Newell Jacobsen
82840. The permanent power brokers of this city are the columnists. – Hugh Newell Jacobsen

82844. Whales only get harpooned when they come to the surface, and turtles can only move forward when they stick their neck out, but investors face risk no matter what they do. – Charles A. Jaffe
82845. It’s not your salary that makes you rich, it’s your spending habits. – Charles A. Jaffe
82846. Stock prices have been quoted in fractions for two centuries, based on a system descended from Spanish pieces of eight. Each dollar was cut into eight bits worth 12.5 cents each. – Charles A. Jaffe
82847. A blond in a red dress can do without introductions – but not without a bodyguard. – Rona Jaffe
82848. I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it. – Bianca Jagger
82849. I don’t believe in lobbying only progressives and liberal members of Congress. I don’t believe in doing interviews only with those who share my views. I want to reach a wider audience. – Bianca Jagger
82850. I don’t think there was really a time when I have not been politically aware. – Bianca Jagger
82851. I feel great identification with the developing world. – Bianca Jagger
82852. I find it disturbing that the media keeps referring to my marriage, since I got divorced in 1979. But the media never wants to let me forget. – Bianca Jagger
82853. I have always been willing to admit when I made a mistake. I made a mistake in my understanding of the composition of the Contras, not on my opposition to the Contra war. – Bianca Jagger
82854. I often traveled to Nicaragua to speak against repressive policies by the Sandinista government. – Bianca Jagger
82855. I think the difference between El Salvador and Nicaragua is that in Nicaragua you had a popular insurrection, and in El Salvador you had a revolution. – Bianca Jagger
82856. I didn’t want to be discriminated against because of my gender and status. I promised myself I was never going to be treated as a second-class citizen. – Bianca Jagger
82857. I’ve enjoyed doing Wolf Blitzer’s program, and I even enjoyed having a heated debate with Bill O’Reilly. I will do it any time. – Bianca Jagger
82858. In Nicaragua, liberty, equality and the rule of law were the stuff of dreams. But in Paris I discovered the value of those words. – Bianca Jagger
82859. Look at what President Kennedy managed to achieve during the Cuban missile crisis. If Bush had been president in 1962, do you think he would have avoided a nuclear war? – Bianca Jagger
82860. Live interviews are more difficult to distort. – Bianca Jagger
82861. I think for the U.S. government the Sandinistas represented a threat to their dominance of Latin America. – Bianca Jagger
82862. George W. Bush and his administration embarked on a full-scale assault on civil liberties, human rights and the rule of law, walking away from his international obligations, tearing up international treaties, protocols and UN conventions. – Bianca Jagger
82863. I believe the only time when we can call for intervention is when there is an ongoing genocide. – Bianca Jagger
82864. Most governments in Latin America have failed to recognize the rights of indigenous people and their right to their own traditional territories. – Bianca Jagger
82865. Americans need to understand the significance of having their civil liberties dismantled. It doesn’t just affect terrorists and foreigners, it affects us all. – Bianca Jagger
82866. A man who gets divorced is not forever going to be talked about for it. There are very different standards that we have for women than we have for men. – Bianca Jagger
82867. Bush and Blair combined their efforts to deceive both nations in a carefully coordinated manner, more so than anyone is willing to point out in the media. – Bianca Jagger
82868. Gandhi became my role model. I have always been interested in Eastern philosophy. Since early in my life I’ve been fascinated by India, and I have spent a great deal of time traveling in that country. – Bianca Jagger
82869. George W. Bush and Tony Blair had to convince the world that Saddam Hussein represented an imminent threat. Tony Blair lied when he claimed that Iraq could launch a chemical or biological attack within 45 minutes. – Bianca Jagger
82870. George W. Bush will have to come to the UN and admit that he was wrong. – Bianca Jagger
82871. Governments are mandated by international law to protect people from genocide. – Bianca Jagger
82872. Howard Dean has been successful because he was clear in his opposition to the war. People appreciate a politician with the courage to say, I oppose this war. – Bianca Jagger
82873. I am closer to a European viewpoint of the world than an American one. My ethics and ideals are based on European concepts. – Bianca Jagger
82874. I am not just a celebrity, I’m a human-rights advocate for the last 20 years. – Bianca Jagger
82875. I am still profoundly troubled by the war in Nicaragua. The United States launched a covert war against another nation in violation of international law, a war that was wrong and immoral. – Bianca Jagger
82876. I believe President Bush is one of the most dangerous leaders in the world. He is not in search of peaceful and diplomatic solutions. – Bianca Jagger
82877. During the first 10 years of my life, while my parents were married, I enjoyed a privileged upbringing. After their divorce, my life was difficult. – Bianca Jagger
82878. The Sandinista revolution was without any question a popular insurrection. – Bianca Jagger
82879. The U.S. embargo imposed on Nicaragua, rather than weakening the Sandinistas, actually maintained them in power. – Bianca Jagger
82880. Those who suffer are not those at the top, but are the less privileged members of society. – Bianca Jagger
82881. There is a question for which we will never know the answer: had the U.S. not launched the Contra war to overthrow the Sandinista government, would they have succeeded in bringing socioeconomic justice to the people of Nicaragua? – Bianca Jagger
82882. Tony Blair has turned his back on the principles he claimed he believed in before he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with George W. Bush. He was an entirely different kind of leader. – Bianca Jagger
82883. Today, we talk a lot about terrorism, but we rarely talk about state terrorism. – Bianca Jagger
82884. The Sandinista government became consumed with fighting a war of survival. They were up against the biggest superpower in the world. – Bianca Jagger
82885. The mere fact of an American being present could help save the lives of innocent people. That’s why I believe in the importance of bearing witness, to become a voice for the voiceless. – Bianca Jagger
82886. The killing of innocent people is always wrong. – Bianca Jagger
82887. The death penalty is being applied in the United States as a fatal lottery. – Bianca Jagger
82888. The British Red Cross asked me to help them spearhead a fundraising campaign for the victims of the war in Nicaragua. It was a turning point in my life. It began my commitment to justice and human rights issues. – Bianca Jagger
82889. President Bush should be indicted and should be driven out of office. He should be sent back home in Texas. – Bianca Jagger
82890. People in the U.K. cannot understand whether Blair has lost his mind or whether his ambition to be the second-most-powerful man in the world made him lose his mind. – Bianca Jagger
82891. People in so many countries look up to the United States as a model of democracy, but I doubt if that can continue. It leaves me with a great sense of loss. – Bianca Jagger
82892. We are not supposed to go out and kill all those we suspect to have committed a crime. – Bianca Jagger
82893. Saddam Hussein has been brutal against his people, but when he was committing those crimes, the international community did not come to the rescue of the Iraqis. – Bianca Jagger

82897. The Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has just published the story of her life. I confess that it is not in my reading table. – Mick Jagger
82898. The new fashion is to talk about the most private parts of your life; other fashion is to repent of your excesses and to criticize the drugs that made you happy in the other times. – Mick Jagger
82899. Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos. – Mick Jagger
82900. The elusive nature of love… it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it’s just fluttering and it’s gone. – Mick Jagger

82903. I have never wanted to give up performing on stage, but one day the tours will be over. – Mick Jagger
82904. I haven’t had the time to plan returning to the scene because I haven’t left it. – Mick Jagger
82905. I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That’s why I tend to forget my songs. – Mick Jagger

82907. I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It’s true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted. – Mick Jagger

82911. I never really studied business in school. I kind of wish I had, but how boring is that? – Mick Jagger

82917. Patriotism is an instant reaction that fades away when the war starts. – Mick Jagger
82918. People get very thoughtful when they are in cars. I no longer care for cars. I don’t collect them. – Mick Jagger
82919. A lot of times songs are very much of a moment, that you just encapsulate. They come to you, you write them, you feel good that day, or bad that day. – Mick Jagger
82920. People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It’s very selfish, but it’s understandable. – Mick Jagger

82925. Higher ceilings allow the use indirect lighting, which is much healthier and reduces glare. – Helmut Jahn
82926. In Europe, they’re more demanding, the ones that rent the build ings. – Helmut Jahn
82927. In Europe, architects consider themselves artists. They think they’re special when they win a competition. – Helmut Jahn
82928. I’ve never looked at a suburban building as being a minor building and an urban building as being a major building. – Helmut Jahn
82929. I wanted to improve the suburban office building; to create a great urban space in a suburban environment with all that implies about interaction, collaboration and creativity. – Helmut Jahn
82930. I think the younger generation, the people poised to dominate the workforce, are more socially conscious. They are more demanding in terms of environment and how that environment contributes to their life. – Helmut Jahn
82931. Creativity has more to do with the elimination of the inessential than with inventing something new. – Helmut Jahn
82932. I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away. – Helmut Jahn
82933. It’s my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don’t need as long as you’re able to achieve the same result? – Helmut Jahn
82934. For me, though, the fun is over when I get the job. – Helmut Jahn
82935. Critics are entitled to have an opinion, but how can they judge how comfortable a building is? No critic is smart enough to judge how a building will perform over time. – Helmut Jahn
82936. Chinese buildings are like American buildings, with big footprints. People don’t care about daylight or fresh air. – Helmut Jahn
82937. America has always imported history. – Helmut Jahn
82938. A good engineer thinks in reverse and asks himself about the stylistic consequences of the components and systems he proposes. – Helmut Jahn
82939. A city building, you experience when you walk; a suburban building, you experience when you drive. – Helmut Jahn
82940. A building is hard to judge. It takes many years to find out whether it works. It’s not as simple as asking the people in the office whether they like it. – Helmut Jahn
82941. Every building is a prototype. No two are alike. – Helmut Jahn
82942. German and English firms operate internationally, while French firms do not. The only place where they all have work is in China. Anybody can sell himself in China! – Helmut Jahn
82943. You don’t know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty. The presentation is just a farce. You come into a room filled with 50 people and they don’t talk to you. There’s very little interaction. – Helmut Jahn
82944. The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture. – Helmut Jahn
82945. Sometimes I have to accept a job I don’t really want. Hardly anybody comes up to you with a commission; it’s all competitions these days. – Helmut Jahn
82946. Most architects say: I want to use this type of glass, even if it’s too reflective or doesn’t let enough light in. However, the use of a certain type of glass might change the comfort level. – Helmut Jahn
82947. The architecture profession has lost a lot of its integrity, especially in the USA. The general architect here has no scruples, no ambitions. – Helmut Jahn
82948. You’d never think of taking a cab if you had to walk a mile down Chicago’s Michigan Avenue. But in a bad city you take a cab just to go around the corner. – Helmut Jahn
82949. When I think of some of my earlier work, it really seems a fortunate coincidence that I succeeded. – Helmut Jahn
82950. When I came to America in the ’60s, it was the place to be. I wonder if I’d come here today. – Helmut Jahn
82951. We are creating a unique experience. It’s starts with how you see the building from a distance. – Helmut Jahn
82952. We want our buildings to work like a machine that will create a pleasurable environment. – Helmut Jahn
82953. Transparency is not the same as looking straight through a building: it’s not just a physical idea, it’s also an intellectual one. – Helmut Jahn
82954. We prefer synthetic rather than natural materials. Natural products are almost too valuable. Wood is much harder to produce than metal. And metal is recyclable, while wood isn’t. – Helmut Jahn
82955. If cooking becomes an art form rather than a means of providing a reasonable diet, then something is clearly wrong. – Tom Jaine
82956. The first treasure California began to surrender after the Gold Rush as the oldest: her land. – John Jakes
82957. The house burned an hour before midnight on the last day of April. The wild, distant ringing of the fire bells woke George Hazard. He stumbled through the dark hallway, then upstairs to the mansion tower, and stepped outside into the narrow balcony. – John Jakes
82958. No writer should minimize the factor that affects everyone, but is beyond control: luck. – John Jakes
82959. Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish. – John Jakes
82960. The pain comes from knowing that we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. It comes from knowing we can never be so ignorant again. It comes from knowing we can never be children again. Losing innocence. Remembering heaven. That was the essence of hell. – John Jakes
82961. Semantics, or the study of meaning, remained undeveloped, while phonetics made rapid progress and even came to occupy the central place in the scientific study of language. – Roman Jakobson
82962. At first acoustics attributed to the different sounds only a limited number of characteristic features. – Roman Jakobson
82963. When I speak it is in order to be heard. – Roman Jakobson
82964. The task is to investigate speech sounds in relation to the meanings with which they are invested, i.e., sounds viewed as signifiers, and above all to throw light on the structure of the relation between sounds and meaning. – Roman Jakobson
82965. The search for the symbolic value of phonemes, each taken as a whole, runs the risk of giving rise to ambiguous and trivial interpretations because phonemes are complex entities, bundles of different distinctive features. – Roman Jakobson
82966. Speech sounds cannot be understood, delimited, classified and explained except in the light of the tasks which they perform in language. – Roman Jakobson
82967. Remember that the pharynx is at a crossroads from which leads off, at the top, the passage to the mouth cavity and the passage to the nasal cavity, and below, the passage to the larynx. – Roman Jakobson
82968. Of course, we have known for a long time that a word, like any verbal sign, is a unity of two components. – Roman Jakobson
82969. Now the identification of individual sounds by phonetic observation is an artificial way of proceeding. – Roman Jakobson
82970. Linguistic sounds, considered as external, physical phenomena have two aspects, the motor and the acoustic. – Roman Jakobson
82971. It is once again the vexing problem of identity within variety; without a solution to this disturbing problem there can be no system, no classification. – Roman Jakobson
82972. Instead of following one another the sounds overlap; a sound which is acoustically perceived as coming after another one can be articulated simultaneously with the latter or even in part before it. – Roman Jakobson
82973. Every linguistic sign is located on two axes: the axis of simultaneity and that of succession. – Roman Jakobson
82974. Acoustic phonetics, which is developing and increasing in richness very rapidly, already enables us to solve many of the mysteries of sound, mysteries which motor phonetics could not even begin to solve. – Roman Jakobson
82975. A new era in the physiological investigation of linguistic sounds was opened up by X-ray photography. – Roman Jakobson
82976. For example, the opposition between acute and grave phonemes has the capacity to suggest an image of bright and dark, of pointed and rounded, of thin and thick, of light and heavy, etc. – Roman Jakobson
82977. From a strictly articulatory point of view there is no succession of sounds. – Roman Jakobson
82978. In poetic language, in which the sign as such takes on an autonomous value, this sound symbolism becomes an actual factor and creates a sort of accompaniment to the signified. – Roman Jakobson
82979. Especially with the signing of riders with climbing abilities and the new arrival of Tyler Hamilton, who has the strength and ability to become a great leader for the big tours. All in all, I feel this is a very complete team. – Laurent Jalabert
82980. We certainly will prepare consciously and professionally, but still you cannot predict the future. – Laurent Jalabert
82981. Of course, if this season turns out to be terrible for me – if I get injured again and this prevents me from reaching a satisfying level, then I could change my decision again. But at this moment, it absolutely feels like the right thing for me to continue through 2003. – Laurent Jalabert
82982. It’s true that this year, following my accident in the pre-season, I kind of lost morale and I felt like quitting at the end of this year. But today I can say that I want to be a professional bike rider in the year 2003 as well. – Laurent Jalabert
82983. I never thought we’d catch him, and when I saw he was ready to drop I felt sorry for him. I wanted to show it’s not true I’m trying to win it all. My goal is the Tour of Spain. – Laurent Jalabert
82984. Also, for a team as strong as like ours, the Tour will always remain the biggest goal of the whole year, and personally I will certainly concentrate most of my energy on this race. – Laurent Jalabert
82985. I’m very aware that to reach the same level and have the same amount of success will be extremely difficult. – Laurent Jalabert
82986. Many fail to realize this great recording industry was built by so-called jazz artists. And at the other end of the spectrum, a base in European classical music as well. – Ahmad Jamal
82987. You’ve got a big, big problem if you get caught up in what people say. If you’re gonna live for what people say, you might as well lay down and forget it. Because it doesn’t work that way. – Ahmad Jamal
82988. The quickest way to become troubled is to be concerned with what people are gonna say about your life and your work. – Ahmad Jamal
82989. I would like to be a scholar in whatever I do, a scholar is never finished, he is always seeking and I am always seeking. – Ahmad Jamal
82990. My mum actually gave up work to look after my child, which is so touching. – Jamelia
82991. Touring and promoting and recording take a lot of time, it’s just getting the right balance that’s important. – Jamelia
82992. There never seems to be enough hours in the day. At the moment I have no time to make new music because I’ve been doing so much promotion for this new single. – Jamelia
82993. Obviously I wouldn’t be able to do it without the support of so many people. – Jamelia
82994. I really, really love being a mum and I absolutely love being a singer so I couldn’t be happier. – Jamelia
82995. You’ve got your Justins who have all the back flipping dancers and stuff, and then you’ve got Lemar, and he totally moves you without having to do all of that, and he’s gorgeous. – Jamelia
82996. My daughter is wonderful and incredibly well behaved. I am very lucky. She will always be my priority. – Jamelia
82997. Life is too short not to experiment. – Jamelia
82998. I used to be a window cleaner. I got fired because I sometimes liked to drink the soapy water. – Jamelia
82999. I couldn’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing. – Jamelia
83000. Americans are so dedicated to their jobs. – Jamelia
