84211. I was king of the mountain for a long time, well, I don’t want that no more. I like to perform every once in a while for people who want to see me, and cut albums of music that is what I’m really about. – Waylon Jennings
84212. It was all devastating. I’d never dealt with losing anyone close to me, and I didn’t know where to put it in my life. I was very young then. Buddy taught me so much in such a short time. – Waylon Jennings
84213. You know, I feel sorry for the young artists. – Waylon Jennings
84214. I love Johnny Cash, and I respect Johnny Cash. He’s the biggest. He’s like an Elvis in this business, but no, he’s never been the rebel. – Waylon Jennings

84216. I didn’t aim at anything except good music. – Waylon Jennings

84218. Finally, my manager negotiated a deal where I got to produce my own records. – Waylon Jennings
84219. Mainly what I learned from Buddy… was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn’t have any barriers to it. – Waylon Jennings
84220. Now, I don’t know how they judge all that, but if anybody in the world deserves to be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Ritchie Valens does. – Waylon Jennings
84221. Now, I was on drugs, and that didn’t help a whole lot. He hated that. That was part of where Chet and I had problems, so I take complete blame for that. – Waylon Jennings
84222. One thing is that I wasn’t getting booked that well, and they had control over who got the awards, they had control over who sold. And they really did not want Willie or me, either one, to have a hit record. They wanted the money, but they didn’t want us to be the ones. – Waylon Jennings
84223. No matter what we call it, poison is still poison, death is still death, and industrial civilization is still causing the greatest mass extinction in the history of the planet. – Derrick Jensen

84228. For many years I was engaged in journalism, writing articles and chronicles for the daily press without ever joining the staff of any newspaper. – Johannes Vilhelm Jensen
84229. A probing analysis of the problems of evolution forms the basis of my prose. – Johannes Vilhelm Jensen
84230. Whenever one reads of the determination of the species, or opens a book on natural science and history, in whatever language, one inevitably comes across the name of Linne. – Johannes Vilhelm Jensen
84231. During half a century of literary work, I have endeavoured to introduce the philosophy of evolution into the sphere of literature, and to inspire my readers to think in evolutionary terms. – Johannes Vilhelm Jensen
84232. The trouble with life in the fast lane is that you get to the other end in an awful hurry. – John Jensen
84233. I know nothing about platonic love except that it is not to be found in the works of Plato. – Edgar Jepson
84234. The real exertion in the case of an opera singer lies not so much in her singing as in her acting of a role, for nearly every modern opera makes great dramatic and physical demands. – Maria Jeritza
84235. It is hard to describe the thrill of creative joy which the artist feels when the conviction seizes her that at last she has caught the very soul of the character she wishes to portray, in the music and action which reveal it. – Maria Jeritza

84244. If you are foolish enough to be contented, don’t show it, but grumble with the rest. – Jerome K. Jerome
84245. We are so bound together that no man can labor for himself alone. Each blow he strikes in his own behalf helps to mold the universe. – Jerome K. Jerome
84246. It is always good policy to tell the truth unless of course you are an exceptionally good liar. – Jerome K. Jerome
84247. It is easy enough to say that poverty is no crime. No; if it were men wouldn’t be ashamed of it. It is a blunder, though, and is punished as such. A poor man is despised the whole world over. – Jerome K. Jerome
84248. It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. – Jerome K. Jerome
84249. It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy. It is in our follies that we are one. – Jerome K. Jerome

84251. Love is like the measles; we all have to go through it. – Jerome K. Jerome
84252. Nothing is more beautiful than the love that has weathered the storms of life. The love of the young for the young, that is the beginning of life. But the love of the old for the old, that is the beginning of things longer. – Jerome K. Jerome
84253. One we discover how to appreciate the timeless values in our daily experiences, we can enjoy the best things in life. – Jerome K. Jerome
84254. People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented; but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained. – Jerome K. Jerome
84255. The weather is like the government, always in the wrong. – Jerome K. Jerome
84256. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. – Jerome K. Jerome
84257. It is a most extraordinary thing, but I never read a patent medicine advertisement without being impelled to the conclusion that I am suffering from the particular disease therein dealt with in its most virulent form. – Jerome K. Jerome
84258. We drink one another’s health and spoil our own. – Jerome K. Jerome

84260. Time is but the shadow of the world upon the background of Eternity. – Jerome K. Jerome

84303. The human brain is a wonderful organ. It starts to work as soon as you are born and doesn’t stop until you get up to deliver a speech. – George Jessel
84304. This case reminds me of one in which I likened the Plaintiff’s case to a colander, because it was so full of holes. – George Jessel
84305. The human brain starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public. – George Jessel

84307. God, I hope I wear this jersey forever. – Derek Jeter
84308. If you’re going to play at all, you’re out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose. – Derek Jeter
84309. My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true. – Derek Jeter
84310. That’s how you win – pitching and defense. – Derek Jeter
84311. We just want to win. That’s the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don’t really reflect on what we’ve done in the past. We focus on the present. – Derek Jeter
84312. You don’t just accidentally show up in the World Series. – Derek Jeter
84313. You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we’re playing a game. It’s a business, it’s our job, but I don’t think you can do well unless you’re having fun. – Derek Jeter
84314. My hero’s, my dreams, and my future lie in Yankee Stadium and they can’t take that from me. – Derek Jeter
84315. If you’re going to win games, you’re going to have to come up with the big hits. That’s the bottom line. – Derek Jeter
84316. I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots. – Derek Jeter
84317. It’s never over. You don’t want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it’s not over until the last out. – Derek Jeter
84318. It never occurred to me that I needed to say that I was gay. I simply am. Anyone who knows me or who’s been around me ten minutes knows it too. – Michael Jeter
84319. Well, you have absolutely no idea what a nightmare it was to be on a set, trying to figure out how I was going to find out what time it is, how I was going to get my meds, and at the same time not have it be obvious to someone. – Michael Jeter

84321. People don’t want to see women doing things they don’t think women should do. – Joan Jett
84322. Shaving my head was a millennium ritual, to not let it pass as just another New Year’s Eve. A lot has happened to me in the last couple of years, personally and spiritually. I wanted to mark it for myself. – Joan Jett
84323. So it was out of necessity that Blackheart was born. I think it’s great that now, 25 years later, we’re not only putting out our own music, but are able to put out music by other bands. That’s really exciting for us. – Joan Jett
84324. You know I don’t care if the world thinks I’m smart or not. – Joan Jett
84325. Only because The Runaways were my baby and there’s no reason to get it back together except to totally have fun. If that’s not the goal, then I don’t want to do it. – Joan Jett
84326. So now 20 years later people want us to get together so they can take shots at all these old babes trying to get back some youth. I mean come on; I’ve been there. I know what the press would do. – Joan Jett
84327. We always play clubs. It’s not something that I feel above. Those are my favorite shows because they’re intimate, they’re tight, their sweaty, they’re hot. You’re close to the people. Those are my favorites. – Joan Jett
84328. We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band. – Joan Jett
84329. When I came back to it, we amicably separated from Warner Bros. I just picked up where I left off, trying to write the rest of this record. It took awhile to get out. – Joan Jett
84330. My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be. – Joan Jett
84331. You got nothing to lose. You don’t lose when you lose fake friends. – Joan Jett
84332. You know, I have a really tough time finding new bands. – Joan Jett
84333. I had a blast doing the Warped Tour, but it’s good to be home, for sure. – Joan Jett
84334. I grew up in a world that told girls they couldn’t play rock ‘n’ roll. – Joan Jett
84335. Why there aren’t people out there willing to have fun playing rock ‘n’ roll. I just don’t get it. – Joan Jett
84336. Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but we’re having a good time. – Joan Jett
84337. I’ve been doing this stuff for so long it’s the one aspect of my life that I’ve paid attention to and really sort of not paid attention to the rest of it. – Joan Jett
84338. I’m having fun opening up. Sort of struggling to get the audience into it. It’s good. It makes you fight. Not fight like antagonistic. But fight for what you believe. – Joan Jett
84339. I’m concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet. – Joan Jett
84340. I wouldn’t say no to other kinds of musical opportunities. I guess that it just depends on what it was or what it required me to do, and if I felt that it compromised my own soul. – Joan Jett
84341. I feel like it’s my job to carry the torch. – Joan Jett
84342. I don’t know if I miss it per se, but I do miss the fact that there just doesn’t seem to be any rock ‘n’ roll out there anyplace. Everything does seem kind of tame. It’s even hard in Manhattan to go out and find a good band to go see. – Joan Jett
84343. Girls have got balls. They’re just a little higher up that’s all. – Joan Jett
84344. My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am. – Joan Jett
84345. I’d like to just be a little bit more open to making mistakes and not worrying about it so much. – Joan Jett
84346. Blackheart Records being 25 years old represents staying power and the fact that we weren’t able to get a record out through conventional means, so we had to create this record company to put out our records if we wanted to be a band that had records to give out to their fans. – Joan Jett
84347. And you have a record company behind it, this is a key too, you need people to fight for your records, at least a little bit. So if you have a great song, it’s catchy, and you’ve got a little bit of help, I think that’s all you need. But there hasn’t been that in music. – Joan Jett
84348. I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women’s rules. – Joan Jett
84349. Aggressive, tough and defiant may describe me, but that leaves the impression I’m mean and I’m not. People expect me to have fangs. – Joan Jett
84350. I think what I’m going to do is get more balance in my life to still be able to go out and play the hard rock ‘n’ roll and do what I like to do in music. – Joan Jett
84351. I love to engage with people who come to see us. – Joan Jett
84352. I plan to stay in music. I plan to keep making records. – Joan Jett
84353. I really wanted it to be organic and coming from my heart. So, I think maybe the initial thought of wanting to go in that direction, I had to wait until things happened in our world and in our country that fired me up enough where the words came out organically. – Joan Jett
84354. I sure saw a lot of kids that I’m sure didn’t know a lot about us, or we were definitely new to them. The kids who came up to me afterward, we’d talk about music, sign a lot of autographs. So I’m sure we made a lot of new fans. – Joan Jett
84355. I think there’s nothing better than seeing a three-chord straight up rock ‘n’ roll band in your face with sweaty music and three minute good songs. – Joan Jett
84356. I like to hang out with my friends. I love music. I like to go to the movies. I like to eat. I like to cook. – Joan Jett
84357. I think I was born strong-willed. That’s not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is, you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do. – Joan Jett
84358. I love sports. I love animals. I love kids. I want to save the world. So how do I combine all those things? I don’t know. – Joan Jett
84359. I’ve always had a love for poetry and when I got signed to a record label I thought, ‘How odd that I’m doing a record before a book of poetry,’ – Jewel
84360. My whole goal is to keep my spirit intact. If that doesn’t happen, none of this is worth it. – Jewel
84361. The things you fear are undefeatable, not by their nature, but by your approach. – Jewel
84362. I’m half alive but I feel mostly dead. – Jewel
84363. Being part of the natural world reminds me that innocence isn’t ever lost completely; we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it. – Jewel
84364. I have this theory- that if we’re told we’re bad, then that’s the only ideal we’ll ever have. – Jewel
84365. Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend. – Jewel
84366. I get bored very easily. I have a voracious appetite and I do not feel alive if I’m repeating something I’m good at. So I’m always looking for new challenges. – Jewel
84367. I’m becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that’s what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time. – Jewel
84368. The number of witches had everywhere become enormous. – John Jewel
84369. The word of God teacheth lowliness of mind; it teacheth us to know ourselves. – John Jewel
84370. The word of God is full of sad and grave counsel, full of the knowledge of God, of examples of virtues, and of correction of vices, of the end of this life, and of the life to come. – John Jewel
84371. If we learn not humility, we learn nothing. – John Jewel
84372. Human knowledge is dark and uncertain; philosophy is dark, astrology is dark, and geometry is dark. – John Jewel
84373. But the law of God came from heaven indeed. God wrote it with his finger, it is the fountain of all wisdom, and therefore shall it continue for ever, and never have an end. – John Jewel
84374. Adam was placed in Paradise in perfect estate, and in the company of God’s angels; God walked and did talk with him. He heard the voice, and beheld the presence of God. – John Jewel
84375. As the body dieth when the soul departeth, so the soul of man dieth, when it hath not the knowledge of God. – John Jewel
84376. Among all his creatures in heaven or earth, God hath not made any like unto the sun in the firmament, the beams whereof are beautiful and pleasant, and do give comfort in all places to all things. – John Jewel
84377. But the word of the Gospel is not as the word of an earthly prince. – John Jewel
84378. The word of God is that unto our souls, which our soul is unto our body. – John Jewel
84379. I felt like a hunted animal, followed constantly, waiting to be killed. – Richard Jewell
84380. While the government can tell you that I am an innocent man, the government’s letter cannot give me back my good name or my reputation. – Richard Jewell
84381. It’s a bomb. I’ve already called law enforcement. Let’s get out of here. – Richard Jewell
84382. I want my name back. – Richard Jewell
84383. I believe I am entitled to a public explanation. – Richard Jewell
84384. I’m sure they’re investigating everyone who was in the area. – Richard Jewell
84385. What has made this nation great? Not its heroes but its households. – Sarah Orne Jewett
84386. God would not give us the same talent if what were right for men were wrong for women. – Sarah Orne Jewett
84387. Yes’m, old friends is always best, ‘less you can catch a new one that’s fit to make an old one out of. – Sarah Orne Jewett
84388. When I was as you are now, towering in the confidence of twenty-one, little did I suspect that I should be at forty-nine, what I now am. – Sarah Orne Jewett
84389. The road was new to me, as roads always are, going back. – Sarah Orne Jewett
84390. It is the people who can do nothing who find nothing to do, and the secret to happiness in this world is not only to be useful, but to be forever elevating one’s uses. – Sarah Orne Jewett
84391. The thing that teases the mind over and over for years, and at last gets itself put down rightly on paper – whether little or great, it belongs to Literature. – Sarah Orne Jewett
84392. Tact is after all a kind of mind reading. – Sarah Orne Jewett
84393. We’re always on the side of the animal that’s being chased. We always seem to be on the side of the rabbit or the fox and not on the side of the hounds. – Norman Jewison
84394. I was very disappointed that Denzel didn’t win Best Actor for The Hurricane because I thought he deserved it. – Norman Jewison
84395. I work with a lot of movie stars. – Norman Jewison
84396. I’m going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film. – Norman Jewison
84397. I’m in the mood for another Moonstruck experience, for another romantic comedy. – Norman Jewison
84398. I’m just a storyteller. – Norman Jewison
84399. In America there’s no rights for the artist, so whatever films I’ve made kind of belong to the studio. – Norman Jewison
84400. Look, I’m just a storyteller. When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda. – Norman Jewison
84401. We also have a tendency to root for the fugitive. We’re always on the side of the animal being chased. – Norman Jewison
84402. Well, you know the old line – to be nominated is what it’s all about. I think that I’ve done pretty well – I’ve had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards in total, so I don’t really have any complaints. – Norman Jewison
84403. When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda. If I wanted to do that, I’d make documentaries. – Norman Jewison
84404. When you shoot a musical, you’re shooting to lipsynch tracks, so we had to figure out our choreography and work out what we wanted to do with each number before we did it. – Norman Jewison
84405. With most British actors, it’s amazing. I think they start with the character on the outside and work in. – Norman Jewison
84406. It’s an entire industry focusing on young male viewers that want action and violence. They sell us something that isn’t valid. They’re selling films like a product. – Norman Jewison
84407. I was really excited to have the opportunity to make Fiddler. – Norman Jewison
84408. Moonstruck… was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. – Norman Jewison
84409. But Madonna has a small amount of talent when it comes to movies. – Norman Jewison
84410. I think you get better as you get older. – Norman Jewison
84411. Michael Caine is a movie star, but he’s also a great actor. I can’t say that about every movie star. It’s the concentration he has. – Norman Jewison
84412. And even Moonstruck – for some reason the audience were just in the mood for a very romantic film, because it’s one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. – Norman Jewison
84413. And I think all Nazis didn’t see themselves as bad people. I’ve never met a racist yet who thought he was a racist. Or an anti-Semite who thought they were anti-Semitic. – Norman Jewison
84414. Betrayal… is my favorite subject. – Norman Jewison
84415. Do what you’re told, and everything will be all right. – Norman Jewison
84416. Every generation deals with the breaking down of its tradition, and I think that they rediscovered the film. – Norman Jewison
84417. I still get a lot of material but I find that as one gets older you get more fussy. You know you’re going spend a year or a year and a half on this and you know there are only so many films in you so you get a little bit more selective. – Norman Jewison
84418. A lot of American actors I work with are in character all day long. You can’t talk to them. It’s Method and the whole thing. – Norman Jewison
84419. I don’t like to think that maybe I’m just getting old. I’m not too excited about watching a huge explosion. I’m more interested in people and characters. – Norman Jewison
84420. I don’t make films to win prizes. I make films to make films. – Norman Jewison
84421. I think I’ve done pretty well. I’ve had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards, so I don’t have any complaints. – Norman Jewison
84422. I mean they’re making remakes of my films and I’m not even dead yet! Why would you want to make a remake? – Norman Jewison
84423. Everything Sholom Aleichem talks about in his plays and his short stories is about people, family, man’s relationship with his God, the breaking down of tradition. – Norman Jewison
84424. As you know, in America there’s no rights for the artist, so whatever films I’ve made kind of belong to the studio, so if they want to remake it they can. – Norman Jewison
84425. I think all Nazis didn’t see themselves as bad people. I’ve never met a racist yet who thought he was a racist. Or an anti-Semite who thought they were anti-Semitic. – Norman Jewison
84426. Teller and I worked Renaissance Festivals and street performing – actually more real, no kidding around, Philadelphia street performing than we did Renaissance Festivals. – Penn Jillette
84427. The fact is that violence gives you a rush. – Penn Jillette
84428. The medium is not the message – the message is the message. – Penn Jillette
84429. The skills that we have are the actual magic skills – not the performing skills. We have to separate those. But the actual skills that make the tricks work, we don’t get to use again. – Penn Jillette
84430. We aren’t people who believe that just because we’re performers our opinions on everything need to be known. – Penn Jillette
84431. When you’re watching Psycho, there’ s that moment when you have a visceral reaction to watching someone being stabbed. And then you have the intellectual revelation that you’re not, and that’s where the celebration comes in. – Penn Jillette
84432. One of the things that Teller and I are obsessed with, one of the reasons that we’re in magic, is the difference between fantasy and reality. – Penn Jillette
84433. The First Amendment says nothing about your getting paid for saying anything. It just says you can say it. I don’t believe that if a corporation pulls all the money out of you or a network pulls their money away or you get fired, you’re being censored. – Penn Jillette
84434. Whereas you have someone like Houdini, who works really, really hard to get really, really famous, and then has actual intellectual ideas that he puts into the culture that stay there. – Penn Jillette
84435. We knew that we were kind of odd and creeps, and we wanted to do odd, creepy stuff for people who wanted to see that. – Penn Jillette
84436. Before you can read, you know the difference between a story and reality. And, of course, by the time you’re old enough to do any real damage with an Uzi, you’ve learned that difference. – Penn Jillette
84437. It wasn’t success, because Teller and I, by the time Asparagus Valley got together – within a year, we had achieved all our goals. I mean, our goal was to earn our living doing exactly what we wanted. Which is many people’s goal. – Penn Jillette
84438. In my private life, I’m not around any drugs or alcohol. – Penn Jillette
84439. If I go out to dinner with you and you order wine, I leave. I won’t be around drugs and alcohol at all. – Penn Jillette
84440. I’ve never had a drink of alcohol or any drug in my life. – Penn Jillette
84441. I’m a hardcore libertarian – I want everything legal – but I also believe that you have the right to free association. – Penn Jillette
84442. I’m a big fan of huge populations of people, so you’d think with 300 million people in the country, you don’t even have to please 1% to be phenomenally successful. – Penn Jillette
84443. Every nut who kills people has a Bible lying around. If you’re looking for violent rape imagery, the Bible’s right there in your hotel room. If you just want to look up ways to screw people up, there it is, and you’re justified because God told you to. – Penn Jillette
84444. But it’s much more exciting to make Die Hard. One of the reasons that I think that movie is so successful is it deals with those very important blue-collar relationship themes. But it’s more visually beautiful to show things blowing up. It just gives you more on the screen. – Penn Jillette
84445. The only place we were really told to tone it down – where other people would use the word censorship, but I wouldn’t – was when we did MTV right after the Beavis and Butt-head thing. – Penn Jillette
84446. Janet Reno, during her confirmation hearings, said she would come down harder on porno, and lately she’s talked about how violence on television has an effect on violence in the real world. – Penn Jillette
84447. There are times not to flirt. When you’re sick. When you’re with children. When you’re on the witness stand. – Joyce Jillson

84450. Sharp nostalgia, infinite and terrible, for what I already possess. – Juan Ramon Jimenez
84451. Police officials routinely execute search warrants on private homes and offices, and Congressional offices should not be treated any differently. There cannot be one set of rules for elected officials and another set of rules for everyone else. – Bobby Jindal
84452. Our culture, language, history, and values are vital to uniting us as a nation. – Bobby Jindal
84453. On Thanksgiving I will stop to give thanks that my family is safe and healthy, especially because I realize that, following the tragedies of this year, it is all too real a possibility that they might not have been. – Bobby Jindal

84455. Members of Congress must live according to the same laws as everyone else. – Bobby Jindal
84456. Louisiana loses 30 miles a year off our coast. We lost 100 miles last year off our coast thanks to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We have lost a size of land equivalent to the entire state of Rhode Island. – Bobby Jindal
84457. When I ran for Congress I promised to help make health care affordable again. – Bobby Jindal
84458. In my home State of Louisiana, several institutions of higher education have been impacted by both Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, literally dozens across the entire State. – Bobby Jindal
84459. India, in particular, is looking to develop nuclear power for domestic, commercial use, and we should work with them. This is a good deal for both countries. – Bobby Jindal
84460. In the aftermath of September 11th, it is critical to secure our borders. – Bobby Jindal
84461. The Nation needs to take a new approach to our energy problems. – Bobby Jindal
84462. Unfortunately, we are finding the bureaucratic inefficiencies and red tape have a tendency to slow the efforts of individuals and communities working to rebuild. – Bobby Jindal
84463. You can look at that by comparing Medicare’s growth rates to the private insurance world, to the other Federal programs that we run, by looking at the billions of dollars, not millions but billions of dollars, we waste every year. – Bobby Jindal
84464. When a law enforcement officer apprehends an illegal immigrant, it makes no sense to simply release that individual who has been breaking our laws with no threat of sanction or penalty. – Bobby Jindal
84465. We should increase our development of alternative fuels, taking advantage of renewable resources, like using corn and sugar to produce ethanol or soybeans to produce biodiesel. – Bobby Jindal
84466. We need to break our dependency on foreign sources of oil, which leaves us at the mercy of foreign powers. To do that, we should increase domestic energy production. – Bobby Jindal
84467. The recent riots in France demonstrate the problem European countries face where second and third generation immigrants still do not consider themselves French, German, or English. – Bobby Jindal
84468. Thirty percent of the Nation’s energy comes off the gulf coast. – Bobby Jindal
84469. The threat of terrorism is great and with today’s porous borders, someone could bring a biological weapon into our country or sneak a dirty bomb across unmanned portions of our borders. – Bobby Jindal
84470. Anybody who spends time off of Louisiana’s shores can recognize that these oysters are not endangered. To classify them as such risks great harm to not only fishermen who make their living collecting oysters in the Gulf, but also to Louisiana’s economy in total. – Bobby Jindal
84471. As everyone in Louisiana knows, there was often no communication or coordination between the state and federal government in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. – Bobby Jindal

84473. Congress did a good thing back in 1995 in passing the Deep Water Royalty Relief Act. That act did a simple thing. It provided automatic royalty relief for new leases for 5 years in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. – Bobby Jindal
84474. As we embrace the American dream and the freedoms it represents, we must also ensure that those who wish to enjoy those freedoms become a part of our society and learn to speak our language. – Bobby Jindal

84480. No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men. – Muhammad Ali Jinnah
84481. We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within the four walls of the houses as prisoners. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable condition in which our women have to live. – Muhammad Ali Jinnah
84482. You have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of Islamic democracy, Islamic social justice and the equality of manhood in your own native soil. – Muhammad Ali Jinnah

84500. Pretty much, Apple and Dell are the only ones in this industry making money. They make it by being Wal-Mart. We make it by innovation. – Steve Jobs
84501. It took us three years to build the NeXT computer. If we’d given customers what they said they wanted, we’d have built a computer they’d have been happy with a year after we spoke to them – not something they’d want now. – Steve Jobs
84502. I want to put a ding in the universe. – Steve Jobs
84503. I think we’re having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we’re always trying to do better. – Steve Jobs
84504. Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. – Steve Jobs
84505. Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected. – Steve Jobs
84506. A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets. – Steve Jobs
84507. Apple’s market share is bigger than BMW’s or Mercedes’s or Porsche’s in the automotive market. What’s wrong with being BMW or Mercedes? – Steve Jobs

84509. The Pact of Munich is signed. Czechoslovakia as a power is out. – Alfred Jodl
84510. It is tragic that the Fuehrer should have the whole nation behind him with the single exception of the Army generals. In my opinion it is only by action that they can now atone for their faults of lack of character and discipline. – Alfred Jodl
84511. My greetings to you, my Germany. – Alfred Jodl
84512. My most profound confidence is however based upon the fact that at the head of Germany there stands a man by his entire development, his desires, and striving can only have been destined by fate to lead our people into a brighter future. – Alfred Jodl
84513. Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts. – Billy Joel

84517. It feels great to have a #1 album. – Billy Joel
84518. In an age of incompetence, I’ve been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That’s my job. – Billy Joel
84519. In a way, we are magicians. We are alchemists, sorcerers and wizards. We are a very strange bunch. But there is great fun in being a wizard. – Billy Joel
84520. My songs are like my kids. – Billy Joel
84521. If you make music for the human needs you have within yourself, then you do it for all humans who need the same things. You enrich humanity with the profound expression of these feelings. – Billy Joel
84522. Twyla Tharp put it together from the material I wrote and recorded over my whole career. I thought it was pretty good, but how objective could I be? – Billy Joel
84523. If you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time. – Billy Joel
84524. If you tell kids they can’t have something, that’s what they want. – Billy Joel
84525. The good ole days weren’t always good, and tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems. – Billy Joel
84526. The whole world loves American movies, blue jeans, jazz and rock and roll. It is probably a better way to get to know our country than by what politicians or airline commercials represent. – Billy Joel

84528. I’ve crashed my car three times. – Billy Joel
84529. Those who have expressed doubts and misgivings about their ability to live this kind of life shouldn’t try, because being a musician is not something you chose to be, it is something you are. – Billy Joel
84530. Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand. – Billy Joel
84531. We are living in a time when American popular music is finally being recognized as one of our most successful exports. The demand is huge. – Billy Joel
84532. When I look at great works of art or listen to inspired music, I sense intimate portraits of the specific times in which they were created. – Billy Joel
84533. When I was 19, I made my first good week’s pay as a club musician. It was enough money for me to quit my job at the factory and still pay the rent and buy some food. I freaked. – Billy Joel
84534. When I was a young musician, the only option available to pursue secondary education in music was to attend a classical conservatory. – Billy Joel
84535. Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself. – Billy Joel
84536. You want to give people a reason to hate my guts more? I’m making more money. – Billy Joel
84537. You’re not the only one who’s made mistakes, but they’re the only things that you can truly call your own. – Billy Joel
84538. There’s nothing better than good sex. But bad sex? A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than bad sex. – Billy Joel
84539. I am no longer afraid of becoming lost, because the journey back always reveals something new, and that is ultimately good for the artist. – Billy Joel
84540. Most people are satisfied with the junk food being sold as music. – Billy Joel
84541. I’m probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 – to meet women. – Billy Joel
84542. Artist – musicians, painters, writers, poets, always seem to have had the most accurate perception of what is really going on around them, not the official version or the popular perception of contemporary life. – Billy Joel
84543. As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do, who are like us. – Billy Joel
84544. Don’t make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it’s crucial to make a living, that shouldn’t be your inspiration. Do it for yourself. – Billy Joel
84545. For whatever reason, not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And, believe me, it is a gift. – Billy Joel
84546. Historically, musicians know what it is like to be outside the norm – walking the high wire without a safety net. Our experience is not so different from those who march to the beat of different drummers. – Billy Joel
84547. I am, as I’ve said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary. – Billy Joel
84548. I can’t think of one person I’ve ever met who didn’t like some type of music. – Billy Joel
84549. I consider myself to be an inept pianist, a bad singer, and a merely competent songwriter. What I do, in my opinion, is by no means extraordinary. – Billy Joel
84550. I definitely prefer being a lover than a fighter. – Billy Joel
84551. I did write a letter to the archdiocese who’d banned the song, Only the Good Die Young, asking them to ban my next record. – Billy Joel

84553. I’m a history nut. – Billy Joel
84554. Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today? – Billy Joel
84555. I don’t care what consequence it brings, I have been a fool for lesser things. – Billy Joel
84556. I was drawn to boxing because I got beat up as a kid. I was the kid with the piano books in a New York neighbourhood. – Billy Joel
84557. I think historically America has been pretty tolerant. It seems when there’s a mass influx from one place, that’s when it becomes problematic for Americans. – Billy Joel
84558. I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints – the sinners are much more fun. – Billy Joel
84559. I really wish I was less of a thinking man and more of a fool not afraid of rejection. – Billy Joel
84560. I never said I wasn’t going to play any more. I don’t know where that came from. – Billy Joel
84561. I keep telling people: Don’t make me the poster boy for AA because I don’t know a lot about sobriety, but I do know a lot about drinking. – Billy Joel
84562. I have been both praised and criticized. The criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. To have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me. – Billy Joel
84563. I have a theory that the only original things we ever do are mistakes. – Billy Joel
84564. I don’t know why people thought I was retiring. – Billy Joel
84565. I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music. – Billy Joel
84566. When you look at our world, the truth is that we’re all under the influence of politics. – Roland Joffe
84567. If the movie’s well made and it’s about things that count, people will ultimately see the depth in it. – Roland Joffe

84569. In India, one has to plan according to the monsoons. – Roland Joffe
84570. It’s hard to blame someone because they simply don’t have time. – Roland Joffe
84571. Making the City Of Joy gave me the best political education of my life. It became a wrestling match between an Englishman who had gradually ceased to be a Marxist, and a culture that was becoming more Marxist by the day. – Roland Joffe
84572. Music is a very integral part of the film, but it will not be as full of music as a Bollywood film. – Roland Joffe
84573. Sitting down to a meal with an Indian family is different from sitting down to a meal with a British family. – Roland Joffe
84574. The actor is concerned with his own bit of it, but the director’s somehow trying to work the whole thing into a much bigger picture. It’s like conducting an orchestra. – Roland Joffe
84575. The history of the white man in India really jumped up and bit me in the neck. – Roland Joffe
84576. Very good coaches for ski jumpers stand at the top of the slope and watch the jumpers prepare, rather than standing at the bottom and watching them land. – Roland Joffe
84577. I’ve never wanted to do something where I’d berate the audience. – Roland Joffe
84578. Conventionally, one looks at history as something of the past. But after Einstein, who knows what is in the past and what is in the present? – Roland Joffe
84579. They suggested I should introduce an element of reincarnation in the story. At first, I thought that was silly. But then, this whole time dimension began to fascinate me. – Roland Joffe
84580. I’m not a very serious person. You know how they say that clowns are very funny in public and are really sad at home? I’m really kind of stupid at home and more serious in public. – Roland Joffe
84581. I try to address my audiences intelligently. The man in the street counts, but sometimes he forgets that he counts. – Roland Joffe
84582. I think the job of movie reviewing can be really tough. If a film has layers that need to be thought about, it’s easy to get missed the first time around. – Roland Joffe
84583. I think that will be a lot of fun for audiences to get the same stream of consciousness that was going through my head at the time. It was very exciting to suddenly recall what I was feeling at the time. – Roland Joffe
84584. I think a film should have a gestation period of at least two or three years. – Roland Joffe
84585. I simply wanted to state that during this little slice of history, this is what happened and these were the good sides of it, these were the more dangerous sides of it, and this was the result. – Roland Joffe
84586. I like DVDs so much – it’s such a better format than VHS. – Roland Joffe
84587. I like cinema audiences. I respect them, and I talk to them just like I would anybody I know. – Roland Joffe
84588. I don’t really say much about reviewers. It’s a very tough job to get all of the depth of a movie all at once. – Roland Joffe
84589. I cannot forget a conversation that I had with an elderly couple from the tribe. They asked me whether I would kill them after I had finished. When I asked them why they asked that, they replied, Because you white men always do! – Roland Joffe
84590. I began to feel that, in a sense, we were all prisoners of our own history. – Roland Joffe
84591. Good directing is about getting the performance to be just what’s right for the movie. – Roland Joffe
84592. Even if we don’t know it or aren’t aware of it, politics and philosophy are really what make our up lives. – Roland Joffe
84593. Indian culture certainly gives the Indian mind, including the mind of the Indian scientist, the ability to think out of the box. – Roland Joffe
84594. Eventually, the tribe developed so much confidence in me that they invited me to be their chieftain. – Roland Joffe
84595. If you spend a whole afternoon just eating popcorn and watching football, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. But if that’s all you do, you get swept along with the tide, without any idea of where you’re going. – Roland Joffe
84596. There is a tremendous amount of support for the approach we have taken, which again is to base our decisions on risk analysis and thoughtful scientific process. – Mike Johanns
84597. The big producer is going to figure out how to deal with whatever the rules are, but the little guy who is running a few hundred units or maybe feeding 1,500 cattle a year, how will they ever comply with these requirements? – Mike Johanns
84598. The goal is to normalize trade relations based on sound science and consumer protection. – Mike Johanns
84599. The industry is becoming very ready for animal identification. – Mike Johanns
84600. The meat and poultry industries are outstanding industries, and it’s going to be a very natural fit for me. – Mike Johanns
84601. The president has been a true friend of the ag industry, because he continues to invest large amounts of money at a time when savings is really the goal of the federal government to deal with the deficit. – Mike Johanns
84602. Science is the international language, so when we are able to convince countries that good decision-making for human health and animal health is based upon science, that’s a real success story for us. – Mike Johanns
84603. There is a certain amount of momentum that is achieved when one country after another reopens their borders. – Mike Johanns
84604. Today, we can tell people we have a testing process and facilities in place on a nationwide basis. – Mike Johanns
84605. This president has said this has to be a priority for our nation, protecting our food supply from terrorist acts, so he continues to provide the funding that is necessary. – Mike Johanns
84606. We asked ourselves and the world to base decisions on good science, and I really believe the United States can be the leader in delivering that message to our international trading partners. – Mike Johanns
84607. We need to always be vigilant on the sanitary issues. – Mike Johanns
84608. We’re going to do everything possible to make sure that food safety is always paramount, and that we work with the industry as aggressively as we can to make sure that we’re paying attention to the food-safety issues. – Mike Johanns
84609. When one cow was found with BSE in 2003, many of our trading partners closed their borders to our beef. – Mike Johanns

84611. I never would have believed as a candidate for the U.S. Senate that the U.S. government could buy GM without a hearing, with no vote, yes or no. There are billions and billions of dollars at stake here. – Mike Johanns
84612. Food safety involves everybody in the food chain. – Mike Johanns
84613. Fortunately, when it comes to meat and poultry, I have the really wonderful situation of having producers and processors that produce and process a very high-quality product. – Mike Johanns

84616. I ended up being the governor of a very ag state, Nebraska. – Mike Johanns
84617. Producers are so much better-educated in issues related to terrorism. – Mike Johanns

84619. In 75 foreign countries, we have a presence in the USDA. – Mike Johanns
84620. In beef trade issues, we base our decisions upon science. – Mike Johanns
84621. In this day and age when we do so much business in foreign trade, we need the ability to identify trace an animal very quickly, identifying where it came from – where it has been, and where it is at today. – Mike Johanns
84622. My goal with the Canadian border is the same goal I have for Japan and Korea. – Mike Johanns
84623. On the professional side, those 18 years on the farm instilled my love for agriculture. – Mike Johanns
84624. One of the things that I always say about bioterrorism, whether it’s ourselves at the federal level, folks at the state level, or folks in the private industry, we’ve done many great things, especially since 9/11. – Mike Johanns
84625. Our job is to ensure that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, accurately labeled for the benefit of the American consumers, and to make sure that they are in compliance with all federal laws. – Mike Johanns
84626. People enjoy our meat and our poultry, as I do as a consumer. – Mike Johanns
84627. Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show business almost bearable. – David Johansen
84628. We thought that’s the way you were supposed to be if you were in a rock ‘n’ roll band. Flamboyant. – David Johansen
84629. I don’t have the identity of any of them. I only had the nicks that they used on Internet Relay Chat. – Jon Johansen
84630. Well, the biggest Norwegian newspaper regarded this as an arrest, since they hadn’t told us that they were coming and they brought me in. So the biggest Norwegian newspaper looked upon that as an arrest. – Jon Johansen
84631. We knew that they would probably go after someone. – Jon Johansen
84632. I’m 16 now, I was 15 when it happened… and the encryption code wasn’t in fact written by me, but written by the German member. There seems to be a bit of confusion about that part. – Jon Johansen
84633. In our case, finding a Lucy is unique. No one will ever find another Lucy. You can’t order one from a biological supply house. It’s a unique discovery, a unique specimen. – Donald Johanson
84634. When I realized, in 1978, that Lucy did represent a new species of human ancestor, and that I had an opportunity to name this new species, I realized this was a revolutionary step in understanding human origins. – Donald Johanson
84635. This was the most important discovery I had ever made in my life. It was a discovery which has irrevocably changed my whole life’s direction. It immediately elevated me to the status of one of the world’s leading anthropologists. – Donald Johanson
84636. There have been some friendships lost over this. That’s the most difficult for me. I find it very uncomfortable to know that I was at one time close friends with someone, and because of jealousies and misunderstandings and so on, these friendships have dissolved. – Donald Johanson
84637. Scientists are very afraid of being proven wrong. – Donald Johanson
84638. One has to devote oneself to a particular pursuit. To be successful at anything, you have to make a total commitment to it. – Donald Johanson
84639. Normally, we are happy to find a fragment of jaw, a few isolated teeth, a bit of an arm, a bit of a skull. But to find associated body parts is extremely rare. – Donald Johanson
84640. My real father died when I was two years old, so I never knew him. He was a barber in Chicago. – Donald Johanson
84641. Lucy brought with her an image of our human ancestors that you don’t get when you find a jaw or an arm bone or a leg bone. Here was 40 percent of a single skeleton. – Donald Johanson
84642. I was aware of it, but I grew up in a very a-religious family. My mother never went to church, she never had any religious training or background. It was never a part of our social interaction. – Donald Johanson
84643. I realized immediately that this was a terribly important discovery, but I didn’t realize how important it would be until we had spent a lot of time in the laboratory studying it. – Donald Johanson
84644. But what really excited me was the idea that humans had a tremendous pre-history that went back millions of years. I wanted to go to Africa to find some of these creatures. – Donald Johanson
84645. But it really wasn’t until three to four years later, when we had an opportunity in the lab to make very detailed observations, and comparisons with other fossil discoveries, that we realized she was a new species of human ancestor. – Donald Johanson
84646. As an undergraduate, I had an opportunity to go on a number of archeological digs. So I had experience excavating, digging up remains of ancient Indian villages in the Midwest and in the Southwest. – Donald Johanson
84647. And what I wanted to do was, I wanted to explore problems and areas where we didn’t have answers. In fact, where we didn’t even know the right questions to ask. – Donald Johanson
84648. I was very intellectually oriented, very early on. – Donald Johanson
84649. When the first fossils began to be found in eastern Africa, in the late 1950s, I thought, what a wonderful marriage this was, biology and anthropology. I was around 16 years old when I made this particular choice of academic pursuit. – Donald Johanson
84650. Most achievers I know are people who have made a strong and deep dedication to pursuing a particular goal. That dedication took a tremendous amount of effort. – Donald Johanson
84651. I think that many of my ideas are correct, but I’ll bet you, before my death other discoveries will be made that will prompt me to alter various ideas I have about human evolution. – Donald Johanson
84652. If you don’t know about it, you can’t get it. – Sue Johanson
84653. We teach teens what we think they ought to know, and we never tell them what they want to know. – Sue Johanson
84654. They are uncomfortable talking about sex because they don’t want people to think they know about it. – Sue Johanson
84655. Sex is… perfectly natural. It’s something that’s pleasurable. It’s enjoyable and it enhances a relationship. So why don’t we learn as much as we can about it and become comfortable with ourselves as sexual human beings because we are all sexual? – Sue Johanson
84656. Kids are all computer-savvy. Sit down and write to your parents on the computer. And just say, I have some questions and I’m scared. There’s some stuff I don’t know and I really need to talk to you about sex. Tear it off and put it on their pillow. They’ll read it. – Sue Johanson
84657. It’s sad that the most glorious of sexual experiences can make us feel guilty, ashamed, embarrassed, and abnormal. – Sue Johanson

84663. Americans are a decade behind Canada when it comes to sex education and understanding their bodies. – Sue Johanson
84664. Kids and adults have sex for many, many reasons… Put out a question box. – Sue Johanson
84665. I just adored working with Woody. He was more than I could have ever dreamed of. I’d do it a million times over. – Scarlett Johansson
84666. It’s a required part of your film history to know who Woody is. His movies are so wonderful, and not just funny but so insightful about human behavior. – Scarlett Johansson
84667. I definitely believe in plastic surgery. I don’t want to be an old hag. There’s no fun in that. – Scarlett Johansson
84668. I hope they make a video game of me. At least I wouldn’t have any cellulite then. – Scarlett Johansson
84669. One of the best things for a woman to hear is that she is sexy. – Scarlett Johansson
84670. I don’t go to McDonald’s anymore. After I saw Super Size Me… no way! – Scarlett Johansson
84671. LA’s a very hard place to be unless you have people there that love you. It can be very, very lonely, and it can eat you up if you don’t take care of yourself. In LA, nobody wants to talk to each other, everybody’s giving each other catty looks. – Scarlett Johansson
84672. The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star. – Elton John
84673. Yeah. I have been with David Furnish for eight years, now. – Elton John
84674. Who really needs a new album from me? – Elton John
84675. Well, I’ve had my fair share in Britain of battling the tabloids. – Elton John
84676. Well, I’m a huge fan of Ryan Adams, who’s from North Carolina. And he’s beginning to break really quite big. – Elton John
84677. Well, I was making a record, and I had to choose a name, because they said, you know, you can’t make a record under the name of Reg Dwight, because it’s never going to – you know, it’s not attractive enough. – Elton John
84678. Well, as I was saying… everyone’s so nice to me, usually. – Elton John
84679. We were both very much the same. We were both very impulsive. We both loved life. We both loved shopping. We both had a love of clothes, obviously, because he was the designer that I kind of wore forever and ever. – Elton John
84680. The whole point of being in this business and being blessed and being successful is that you’re able to do things for your friends or your family, which means that they can have something special in their lives, too. – Elton John
84681. I never really made a full album in Los Angeles before. – Elton John
84682. There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats. – Elton John
84683. I mean, Sting is one of my great buddies and I love him to death. – Elton John
84684. I’ve only been interested in the artistic side of life. – Elton John
84685. I think people should be free to engage in any sexual practices they choose; they should draw the line at goats though. – Elton John
84686. I used to get my money at the end of the week, buy my mum something, or buy a record, and that was it. – Elton John
84687. I was more ashamed that I couldn’t work the washing machine than the fact that I was taking drugs. – Elton John
84688. I’m a very wealthy man. – Elton John
84689. I’m very generous. – Elton John
84690. I’ve got a great collection of photography. – Elton John
84691. I’ve got to do something to make up for all those self-absorbed and selfish years when I just, you know, was taking drugs, sitting in my room, doing bad things, whatever. – Elton John
84692. Bands today have to learn their craft by putting the hard work in that we did when we were young performers. – Elton John
84693. I mean, in some cases with libel laws, you know, they can write things about people who have no course of action, because they can’t afford to take legal action against them. – Elton John
84694. I love places that have an incredible history. I love the Italian way of life. I love the food. I love the people. I love the attitudes of Italians. – Elton John
84695. I have a much better relationship with the press than I did, I think because I stood my ground. – Elton John
84696. I have a lot of money stashed away, but I do live my life from day to day. – Elton John
84697. I do like Britney Spears. I think she’s cute. I think she’s fun. And I like her records. You know, I’m not a pop snob whatsoever. I think she makes great pop records. – Elton John
84698. I am the most well-known homosexual in the world. – Elton John
84699. Because, I figured that, because I was a successful man, I was wealthy, I was, you know, seemingly intelligent – even that I am not intelligent enough to ask for help. – Elton John
84700. And there’s no guarantee that if you get HIV and you take these triple therapies, or whatever comes along next, that they’re going to be successful for you. – Elton John
84701. And the danger is – and it’s happening – is we’re seeing an incredibly big rise amongst young gay people, young heterosexual people as far as catching HIV, which is, you know, in an educated country like this or in Britain, it’s frightening. – Elton John
84702. And I’m afraid, in this day and age, trust, which I count so, you know, I love loyalty. I love trust. – Elton John
84703. And I trusted someone to look after me on the business side of life. – Elton John
84704. And I talked to my doctor, and I must admit, you know, I’m sometimes quite renowned for my outbursts and I was just very frustrated, maybe a little frightened. – Elton John
84705. And I agreed with that, and I couldn’t wait to change my name anyway, because I’m not too fond of the name of Reginald. It’s a very kind of ’50s English name. – Elton John
84706. An agent is a person who is sore because an actor gets 90% of what they make. – Elton John
84707. But actually, my drug addiction thing, I was so stubborn. – Elton John
84708. In talking, shyness and timidity distort the very meaning of my words. I don’t pretend to know anybody well. People are like shadows to me and I am like a shadow. – Gwen John
84709. To be reserved, secretive, with a passionate violence that causes suffering. – Gwen John
84710. When I was a child, I used to cry all the time. – Gwen John
84711. Aloneness is nearer God, nearer reality. – Gwen John
84712. Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society. – Henry St. John
84713. Truth lies within a little and certain compass, but error is immense. – Henry St. John
84714. Christ, he was paranoid about criticism. I used to say: why doesn’t he worry about the team and forget what people are saying? He got Phil Thompson, who was a kid coming through when I was a Liverpool player, to have a go at me. So now I don’t talk to him. – Ian St. John
84715. We went to dinner and healed the wounds, at least to a certain degree. But I hope he understands the hurt he did to me. He put the boot into a pal and I don’t think you should do that. – Ian St. John
84716. Well, he doesn’t make me laugh. I think I’ve got a fair sense of humour but I can’t really see it in him. I’ve listened to his show on the radio on a Saturday morning, and that’s a load of mince as well. – Ian St. John
84717. Trying to take the credit for Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard, who had been at the club since they were eight. Can you believe it? I can’t. – Ian St. John
84718. Once you’re on the wheel, you don’t come off. – Ian St. John
84719. If I had been trying to take the job away from him in a sneaky, underhand manner, then I deserved all I got. But it was the other way around. I was trying to get him the job. – Ian St. John
84720. I wouldn’t be surprised if this game went all the way to the finish. – Ian St. John
84721. I don’t want to see people decorating a house or digging a garden. As for guys like Jonathan Ross, he got an award there last Christmas. What for? He doesn’t sing, dance or tell jokes, does he? – Ian St. John
84722. Yeah, right. I mean, he criticises everybody in the media, then the first thing he does when he finishes is he goes to work for the media. Thompson, too. Hypocritical. – Ian St. John
84723. Diamonds are forever, my youth is not. – Jill St. John
84724. There are no benefactors in Canada because there is no incentive. – Lara St. John
84725. The concept is basically; that the pieces we know and love are made up of scales, arpeggios, and the like. – Lara St. John
84726. Mostly this problem is contained in the fact that the US makes it so difficult for Canadians to get green cards (you heard it here), but if an American orchestra really wants a player, they have their ways. – Lara St. John
84727. When you arrive at your destination, pay absolutely no attention to the thing people call jetlag. – Lara St. John
84728. What is classical music if not the epitome of sensuality, passion, and understated erotica that popular music, even with all of its energy and life, cannot even begin to touch? – Lara St. John
84729. Raising a small child as a woman while travelling 10 months out of the year would, I believe, be something I would not be able or even want to do, although with the amazing example of Leila, I am no longer so sure. – Lara St. John
84730. Music is art, art is life, and we are who we are, and all of these aforementioned women, unless they should choose not to, will be performing well into the next many decades because they are great artists. – Lara St. John
84731. Our dad was a great guy and we will never forget him. – Lara St. John
84732. Normally, the same strange impulse which brings a crowd to an accident is present in the reaction to a concert in which something goes wrong. – Lara St. John
84733. Naturally, I was a bit of a curiosity, being the first hydrogen peroxide ingestion patient they had ever seen. – Lara St. John
84734. There is no earthly reason why a solo string instrument or voice, having the possibility to play or sing pure intonation, should want, or try, to be tempered. – Lara St. John
84735. For many years, the government of Canada has massively supported orchestras and the arts in general. – Lara St. John
84736. Another thing: despite my youthful appearance, I am quite capable of making decisions. – Lara St. John
84737. And apparently things like a Vindaloo curry are out for the rest of my life, or at least a long time. – Lara St. John
84738. Ergo, because of the money problem, it is probable that our orchestras will soon go down in quality. – Lara St. John
84739. Let me be very honest and just say that if any airline would let me take the violin and the laptop on board I would fly that airline all the time. – Lara St. John
84740. I thought that maybe it is not so much, as he seems to think, that the world loses interest in female performers after they hit a certain age, than the performers lose interest in the world. – Lara St. John
84741. I see no reason to hide who I am or what I look like. – Lara St. John
84742. I had been playing since I was 2 years old, never remembering a life without music, always playing everything naturally and mostly by ear, and all the grownups wanted were more scales and drudgery out of me. – Lara St. John
84743. I am very lucky and grateful to have this living link to a past era, the violin presumably having much more history to it than the later portion that I know. – Lara St. John
84744. Historically, the notes of scale systems anywhere have been based on these pure harmonics. – Lara St. John
84745. Although I do not have a family, I have eyes, ears and imagination, and know, as most people know, that the importance of one’s children is paramount. – Lara St. John
84746. A good example of how it must have been is today’s world of conducting, which is still utterly dominated by men, and the prejudice the few female conductors have to battle even today is astounding. – Lara St. John
84747. However, the thought hit me that this was a pretty pathetic way to kick the bucket – being accidentally poisoned during a photo shoot, of all things – and I started weeping at the idiocy of it all. – Lara St. John
84748. Politics is the chloroform of the Irish people, or rather the hashish. – Oliver St. John
84749. If a queen bee were crossed with a Friesian bull, would not the land flow with milk and honey? – Oliver St. John
84750. It is now for the Catholic Church to bend herself to her work with calmness and generosity. It is for you to observe her with renewed and friendly attention. – Pope John XXIII
84751. It often happens that I wake up at night and begin to think about a serious problem and decide I must tell the Pope about it. Then I wake up completely and remember that I am the Pope. – Pope John XXIII
84752. Men are like wine – some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age. – Pope John XXIII
84753. The council now beginning rises in the Church like the daybreak, a forerunner of most splendid light. – Pope John XXIII
84754. The family is the first essential cell of human society. – Pope John XXIII
84755. It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father. – Pope John XXIII
84756. The true and solid peace of nations consists not in equality of arms, but in mutual trust alone. – Pope John XXIII
84757. Italians come to ruin most generally in three ways, women, gambling, and farming. My family chose the slowest one. – Pope John XXIII
84758. The feelings of my smallness and my nothingness always kept me good company. – Pope John XXIII
84759. Anybody can be Pope; the proof of this is that I have become one. – Pope John XXIII
84760. See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little. – Pope John XXIII
84761. I have looked into your eyes with my eyes. I have put my heart near your heart. – Pope John XXIII
84762. A peaceful man does more good than a learned one. – Pope John XXIII
84763. Born poor, but of honored and humble people, I am particularly proud to die poor. – Pope John XXIII
84764. Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do. – Pope John XXIII
84765. Every man has the right to life, to bodily integrity. – Pope John XXIII
84766. Here I am at the end of the road and at the top of the heap. – Pope John XXIII
84767. I am able to follow my own death step by step. Now I move softly towards the end. – Pope John XXIII
84768. I have been able to follow my death step by step and now my life goes gently to its end. – Pope John XXIII
84769. Kinda when I stopped eating was on our second album, just as it felt like everything was so out of control. – Daniel Johns
84770. We were really motivated to do something with this record overseas, even though I hate touring. – Daniel Johns
84771. It makes it hard to get over a certain period of your life when you are constantly revisiting it every night. – Daniel Johns
84772. Reactive arthritis is something I’ve been dealing with for nearly a year. – Daniel Johns
84773. So I went and visited a doctor and he diagnosed me with reactive arthritis. – Daniel Johns
84774. The touring for this album was definitely going to be the most intense touring we’ve done. – Daniel Johns
84775. There’s an inherent thing in me where, if things are going too smooth, I’ll sabotage the hell out of them, just to make the music more of a sanctuary. – Daniel Johns
84776. Though, since the first record, I’ve dramatically changed my expectations for our records. – Daniel Johns
84777. None of us are really dumb and none of us are really smart. We’re in the middle. – Daniel Johns
84778. Touring doesn’t kill me and I can handle it. – Daniel Johns
84779. There was three or four years of my life where I hated myself and you know, would have quite happily ended it. – Daniel Johns
84780. We met The Cult and were talking to them for a while. We went a few places with Offspring. – Daniel Johns
84781. We were perceived as a post-grunge band. – Daniel Johns
84782. When we first began and I was 14, my influences were the stuff that was in my parent’s record collection like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. – Daniel Johns
84783. With our first two records we backed ourselves into a hole musically. – Daniel Johns
84784. There are no big groupie fans or anything. – Daniel Johns
84785. I have never had a social life, don’t ever want one because it’s boring. I’m just not very good with people, and you meet people every night who expect you to be this rock star with these developed social skills, which I don’t have. – Daniel Johns
84786. We never considered ourselves to be a good band or anything, we just thought we were playing for fun and we wanted to play music that sounded like Black Sabbath or Soundgarden or the music we were into at that time. – Daniel Johns
84787. I am doing everything humanly possible to try and get well, but lately things have just kept getting worse. – Daniel Johns
84788. It just makes everything more pleasurable when you’ve got someone that emotionally is there to rely on. – Daniel Johns
84789. I know if I don’t tour people will forget the record and you run a high risk of the record failing. – Daniel Johns
84790. Basically, the reason I’m vegan is because when I was about 16 or 17 years old, I began to understand that we don’t need to contribute to the killing and exploitation of animals to feed our bodies correctly. – Daniel Johns
84791. I am very scared of being outside my home for long periods of time. – Daniel Johns
84792. I get very anxious and am scared in crowds and things like that. – Daniel Johns
84793. I had to try and find a way to express happiness without sounding corny. – Daniel Johns
84794. I have a theory because I was being beaten up a lot by people outside of school, it was almost like if I could make myself sick enough they’d take sympathy on me. – Daniel Johns
84795. I never really paid attention to sales until the second record. – Daniel Johns
84796. I start sweating and shaking and having panic attacks if I am not at home. – Daniel Johns
84797. I think I definitely got scared by the second or third time a doctor told me I was dying. – Daniel Johns
84798. I try to stay positive by focusing on how much I’ll appreciate my health if I get better. – Daniel Johns
84799. I’m lucky the arthritis happened at the time that it did because of the record. – Daniel Johns
84800. I wrote… Neon Ballroom in that time where I hated music, really everything about it, I hated it. – Daniel Johns
84801. I’m always active in trying to educate people when it comes to eating animal products, testing on animals, and the health benefits of being vegan, although I’m probably not the best person to be talking about the latter at the moment. – Daniel Johns
84802. I have not really experienced any significant conflict with anyone in regard to my choice to be vegan, although going out to eat is hard sometimes. – Daniel Johns

84805. Relatives cannot help you in the studios,” she says. “You stand or fall by your own efforts. – Glynis Johns
84806. You see, money isn’t everything – I know it sounds corny but I really mean it – success means a lot more. – Glynis Johns
84807. When something is new to us, we treat it as an experience. We feel that our senses are awake and clear. We are alive. – Jasper Johns
84808. Whatever I do seems artificial and false, to me. – Jasper Johns
84809. To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist. – Jasper Johns
84810. The thing is, if you believe in the unconscious – and I do – there’s room for all kinds of possibilities that I don’t know how you prove one way or another. – Jasper Johns
84811. Sometimes I see it and then paint it. Other times I paint it and then see it. Both are impure situations, and I prefer neither. – Jasper Johns
84812. In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn’t know what that meant. I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different than the one that I was in. – Jasper Johns
84813. One likes to think that one anticipates changes in the spaces we inhabit, and our ideas about space. – Jasper Johns
84814. Most of the power of painting comes through the manipulation of space… but I don’t understand that. – Jasper Johns
84815. Intention involves such a small fragment of our consciousness and of our mind and of our life. – Jasper Johns
84816. Do something, do something to that, and then do something to that. – Jasper Johns
84817. I think a painting should include more experience than simply intended statement. – Jasper Johns
84818. As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion. – Jasper Johns
84819. Everyone is of course free to interpret the work in his own way. I think seeing a picture is one thing and interpreting it is another. – Jasper Johns

84921. In the plays – that’s where I go crazy. But my prose has a much lighter touch; it’s not trying to thrill with language, just to be more truthful. I’m not concerned with the accuracy of anything. We don’t get to the truth of anything with facts. – Denis Johnson

84958. Every bowling center should have a house pro. – Don Johnson

84970. I had no idea what I was going to do when they threw me out of school. – Don Johnson

84972. If you check your ego at the door when it comes to comedy, you’ve got a pretty good shot at making a great movie that you can commit yourself to, you can jump off the proverbial cliff with, and have a great time, and the audiences respond to that. – Dwayne Johnson

84977. One of the skills I had to learn and become proficient in is kissing a man. I had never kissed a man. Will Smith did it in his movies, so did Jake Gyllenhaal, and I figured it was my time. So it was me and Steve Carell – fantastic. – Dwayne Johnson

84980. I love making people laugh and feel good, and that’s awesome and special for me to be able to do that, but there really is nothing like kicking ass whether it’s on a major scale, or whether it’s in more of a dramatic fashion. Being physical and taking care of business the old-fashioned way is something that I love doing. – Dwayne Johnson
