87211. In the police force, two, three, five traitors are detected who are really working for someone else. When we cleanse the police of them, the problem will be simplified a lot. Terrorists will have no one to contact – they will be left without informers. – Akhmad Kadyrov

87216. That is why I came to conclusion that the election must take place, so that the republic can have a government. If I were to say that everything will change for the better immediately, that would not be true. The struggle will continue for a long time. – Akhmad Kadyrov
87217. The attempted assassinations against me were not accidental. – Akhmad Kadyrov

87227. In the arts, the critic is the only independent source of information. The rest is advertising. – Pauline Kael

87239. Sometimes people who get wealthy when they are very, very young, it’s a curse to them. They don’t realize it. – Kato Kaelin
87240. Sometimes people just want you to fail. Except your really good friends. I’ve always known who my best friends were. – Kato Kaelin

87254. I’m not afraid of O.J. now. – Kato Kaelin
87255. I ended up living at OJ’s because Nicole bought a home that no longer had a guest house. OJ offered his guest house to me. Anybody in LA looking for a place knows the best places to live are guest houses. – Kato Kaelin
87256. I’m doing comedy development at National Lampoon. – Kato Kaelin
87257. I thought it was possible that O.J. could have done something. It crossed my mind. I was thinking about the events of everything and going, Why did I hear that? I was going, No, it can’t be, and just all that stuff was adding up. – Kato Kaelin
87258. I was at an acting academy for seven years prior to the trial. – Kato Kaelin

87261. Religions get lost as people do. – Franz Kafka

87281. My guiding principle is this: Guilt is never to be doubted. – Franz Kafka
87282. You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet. – Franz Kafka
87283. Writers speak stench. – Franz Kafka
87284. Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms. – Franz Kafka

87289. The fact that our task is exactly commensurate with our life gives it the appearance of being infinite. – Franz Kafka

87292. The spirit becomes free only when it ceases to be a support. – Franz Kafka

87295. The indestructible is one: it is each individual human being and, at the same time, it is common to all, hence the incomparably indivisible union that exists between human beings. – Franz Kafka
87296. The history of mankind is the instant between two strides taken by a traveler. – Franz Kafka
87297. We all have wings, but they have not been of any avail to us and if we could tear them off, we would do so. – Franz Kafka

87324. It is often safer to be in chains than to be free. – Franz Kafka

87337. I do not read advertisements. I would spend all of my time wanting things. – Franz Kafka

87351. Without history we are the prisoners of the accident of where and when we were born. – Donald Kagan
87352. We, to some degree, are like what we are because we inherited certain things from the Greeks and the Romans. One of them that’s so striking is the whole area of politics. – Donald Kagan
87353. Throughout the human experience people have read history because they felt that it was a pleasure and that it was in some way instructive. The profession of professor of history has taken it in a very different direction. – Donald Kagan

87360. What my political views or my constitutional views are just doesn’t matter. – Elena Kagan
87361. To have the opportunity to lead the Solicitor General’s office is the honor of a lifetime. As you know, this is an office with a long and rich tradition, not only of extraordinary legal skill but also of extraordinary professionalism and integrity. That is due, in large measure, to the people who have led it. – Elena Kagan
87362. It’s not that there are no masters, but that there are many. And the job of the solicitor general is to balance those masters and to accommodate them all, each in their proper places, wisely and well and in so doing to represent the people of the United States. – Elena Kagan
87363. I have no regrets. I don’t believe in looking back. What I am proudest of? Working really hard… and achieving as much as I could. – Elena Kagan
87364. I owe a debt of gratitude to two other living Justices. Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg paved the way for me and so many other women in my generation.

87365. I think that if there are positions that you can’t argue… then the responsibility is probably to resign. If one’s own conscience is opposed to the requirements and responsibilities of the job, then it’s time to leave the job. – Elena Kagan

87370. I’ve led a school whose faculty and students examine and discuss and debate every aspect of our law and legal system. And what I’ve learned most is that no one has a monopoly on truth or wisdom. I’ve learned that we make progress by listening to each other, across every apparent political or ideological divide. – Elena Kagan
87371. In fact, corporate and union moneys go overwhelmingly to incumbents, so limiting that money, as Congress did in the campaign finance law, may be the single most self-denying thing that Congress has ever done. – Elena Kagan
87372. I do not espouse the unitarian position. President Clinton’s assertion of directive authority over administration, more than President Reagan’s assertion of a general supervisory authority, raises serious constitutional questions. – Elena Kagan
87373. I think most Americans believe that although it’s better not to use military force if you can avoid it, that the world simply doesn’t provide us the luxury of giving away military force as an important tool of foreign policy. – Robert Kagan
87374. Well, I think he’s right to notice that there is a difference in attitudes and even in the broadest sense of world view between Eastern Europe and Western Europe. Which is old and which is new is an interesting question, and I almost think that maybe he’s got it backwards. – Robert Kagan

87378. I have never coasted down a hill of frozen rain. – Duke Kahanamoku
87379. Out of the water, I am nothing. – Duke Kahanamoku
87380. Just take your time – wave comes. Let the other guys go, catch another one. – Duke Kahanamoku
87381. The banding together by the nations of the world against Israel is the guarantee that their time of destruction is near and the final redemption of the Jew at hand. – Meir Kahane

87383. Today, Jewish defense is an accepted thing. – Meir Kahane
87384. The observant Jew has his own sense of values. Torah Judaism is his blueprint for this life, his target for existence. – Meir Kahane

87386. The Jew does not wish to be isolated. He fears being alone, without allies. – Meir Kahane

87388. The difference is that if we turn from the Gentile first, we will have the Almighty as the immediate staff and our comfort. If not, we will have neither the Gentile nor, for a terrible stage, the Almighty. – Meir Kahane

87391. There is the illusion of the world and the reality of the Torah. – Meir Kahane
87392. It is incumbent upon us to understand our greatness and believe in it so that we do not cheapen and profane ourselves. – Meir Kahane
87393. If we ever hope to rid the world of the political AIDS of our time, terrorism, the rule must be clear: One does not deal with terrorists; one does not bargain with terrorists; one kills terrorists. – Meir Kahane
87394. I see all this and know that if we are to save the Jewish state and its three-and-a-half million Jews from terrible horrors, we must rise up and demand a fundamental change in the very system of government. – Meir Kahane
87395. I know that elections must be limited only to those who understand that the Arabs are the deadly enemy of the Jewish state, who would bring on us a slow Auschwitz – not with gas, but with knives and hatchets. – Meir Kahane
87396. Surely it is time for Jews, worried over the huge growth of Arabs in Israel, to consider finishing the exchange of populations that began 35 years ago. – Meir Kahane
87397. Jews have been in Egypt since Biblical times, and Alexandria had once been, at least partially, a Jewish city. – Meir Kahane
87398. Every man judges his own happiness and satisfaction with life in terms of his possession or lack of possession of those things that he considers worthwhile and valuable. – Meir Kahane
87399. Life is essentially a question of values. – Meir Kahane
87400. Above all, it is not decency or goodness of gentleness that impresses the Middle East, but strength. – Meir Kahane
87401. Love has its place, as does hate. Peace has its place, as does war. Mercy has its place, as do cruelty and revenge. – Meir Kahane
87402. Never, ever deal with terrorists. Hunt them down and, more important, mercilessly punish those states and groups that fund, arm, support, or simply allow their territories to be used by the terrorists with impunity. – Meir Kahane
87403. No trait is more justified than revenge in the right time and place. – Meir Kahane
87404. One of the great problems with Americans is that – being a decent people – they assume that everyone else is equally decent. – Meir Kahane
87405. For so long as the Jew has even one ally, he will be convinced – in his smallness of mind – that his salvation came from that ally. It is only when he is alone – against all of his own efforts and frantic attempts – that he will, through no choice, be compelled to turn to G-d. – Meir Kahane
87406. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration. – Frida Kahlo
87407. There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst. – Frida Kahlo

87411. I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality. – Frida Kahlo

87420. Nuclear weapons are intrinsically neither moral nor immoral, though they are more prone to immoral use than most weapons. – Herman Kahn
87421. Many people believe that the current system must inevitably end in total annihilation. They reject, sometimes very emotionally, any attempts to analyze this notion. – Herman Kahn
87422. My guess is that nuclear weapons will be used sometime in the next hundred years, but that their use is much more likely to be small and limited than widespread and unconstrained. – Herman Kahn
87423. It is immoral from almost any point of view to refuse to defend yourself and others from very grave and terrible threats, even as there are limits to the means that can be used in such defense. – Herman Kahn
87424. Nuclear war is such an emotional subject that many people see the weapons themselves as the common enemy of humanity. – Herman Kahn
87425. Only those who are ideologically opposed to military programs think of the defense budget as the first and best place to get resources for social welfare needs. – Herman Kahn
87426. Projecting a persuasive image of a desirable and practical future is extremely important to high morale, to dynamism, to consensus, and in general to help the wheels of society turn smoothly. – Herman Kahn
87427. The objective of nuclear-weapons policy should not be solely to decrease the number of weapons in the world, but to make the world safer – which is not necessarily the same thing. – Herman Kahn
87428. The widespread diffusion of nuclear weapons would make many nations able, and in some cases also create the pressure, to aggravate an on-going crisis, or even touch off a war between two other powers for purposes of their own. – Herman Kahn
87429. To the extent that these advanced weapons or their components are treated as articles of commerce, perhaps for peaceful uses as in the Plowshare program, their cost would be well within the resources available to many large private organizations. – Herman Kahn
87430. There was no race – but to the extent that there was an arms competition, it was almost entirely on the Soviet side, first to catch up and then to surpass the Americans. – Herman Kahn
87431. Failures of perspective in decision-making can be due to aspects of the social utility paradox, but more often result from simple mistakes caused by inadequate thought. – Herman Kahn

87436. In a world which is armed to its teeth with nuclear weapons, every quarrel or difference of opinion may lead to violence of a kind quite different from what is possible today. – Herman Kahn
87437. New developments in weapon systems during the 1950s and early 1960s created a situation that was most dangerous, and even conducive to accidental war. – Herman Kahn
87438. A healthy and fully functioning society must allocate its resources among a variety of competing interests, all of which are more or less valid but none of which should take precedence over national security. – Herman Kahn
87439. Deterrence itself is not a preeminent value; the primary values are safety and morality. – Herman Kahn

87441. For some years I have spent my time on exactly these questions – both in thinking about ways to prevent war, and in thinking about how to fight, survive, and terminate a war, should it occur. – Herman Kahn
87442. From a scientific perspective there is some indication that a nuclear war could deplete the earth’s ozone layer or, less likely, could bring on a new Ice Age – but there is no suggestion that either the created order or mankind would be destroyed in the process. – Herman Kahn
87443. Hopefully, nations will refuse to accept a situation in which nuclear accidents actually do occur, and, if at all possible, they will do something to correct a system which makes them likely. – Herman Kahn
87444. Human and moral factors must always be considered. They must never be missing from policies and from public discussion. – Herman Kahn

87447. I’m against ignorance. – Herman Kahn
87448. I’m against sloppy, emotional thinking. – Herman Kahn
87449. In 1960 I published a book that attempted to direct attention to the possibility of a thermonuclear war, to ways of reducing the likelihood of such a war, and to methods for coping with the consequences should war occur despite our efforts to avoid it. – Herman Kahn
87450. Every time a student walks past a really urgent, expressive piece of architecture that belongs to his college, it can help reassure him that he does have that mind, does have that soul. – Louis Kahn
87451. Architecture is the reaching out for the truth. – Louis Kahn
87452. Consider the momentous event in architecture when the wall parted and the column became. – Louis Kahn
87453. Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love. – Louis Kahn
87454. A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable. – Louis Kahn

87456. We are Bayern Munich and English teams always have trouble as soon as they leave the island. – Oliver Kahn
87457. This match is about sport and I separate that completely from politics. – Oliver Kahn
87458. There is no reason to change this system. I don’t think we’ll abandon it. For us the most important thing is to be compact in the back. That’s the kind of game we have to play here and it will be very difficult to beat us. – Oliver Kahn
87459. If we perform as a unit and if every single player gives it his very best, everything can happen. – Oliver Kahn
87460. If I play, I try to concentrate on producing my best. – Oliver Kahn
87461. I have a feeling we are going to be world champions, I can’t really explain why. Brazil are probably the best team in the world in terms of individual players. But the team with the most gifted players do not always win. – Oliver Kahn
87462. A Germany team should not be afraid going into a tournament. History shows that we can raise the level of our game when it matters. – Oliver Kahn
87463. Complaining and arguing will not help. We are fully concentrating on the game against the Czechs. – Oliver Kahn
87464. As so often before, liberty has been wounded in the house of its friends. – Otto Hermann Kahn

87481. I say we are climbing out of a ditch and we are climbing up. – Tim Kaine
87482. But people ought to be proud to be Democrats right now. You know, we’re a happy warrior party. And this Congress has every reason to be very, very proud of the heavy lifting that they have done. – Tim Kaine

87491. My good health is due to a soup made of white doves. It is simply wonderful as a tonic. – Chiang Kai-shek

87511. Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported? – Abdul Kalam

87532. I tried a dozen different modifications that were rejected. But they all served as a path to the final design. – Mikhail Kalashnikov

87534. I made it to protect the motherland. – Mikhail Kalashnikov
87535. I have continued to work at different things, and rebuilt my home all by myself. I did it for the sake of satisfaction at doing something. I did it because I happened to be where I was. – Mikhail Kalashnikov
87536. I had to gain experience as I did not have a technical education. – Mikhail Kalashnikov

87540. You’ve got to get good habits of working hard so that when that play comes up during the regular season that you’re able to complete it and do it the right way. – Al Kaline
87541. As the days went on, I didn’t mind the games. In fact, I looked forward to them. That was the easiest part of all. I couldn’t wait to get to the ballpark I’d be the first one there and I was willing to do anything. I think that’s why the veterans liked me. – Al Kaline
87542. I was very, very shocked about Cooperstown. I thought my chances were fairly good, but I tried to stay low key about it, not too high and not too low. That was the way I played, too. – Al Kaline
87543. All of a sudden I’m in the major leagues and we’re traveling from town to town. I see the other players dressing different every day. I’ve got only one suit and I keep wearing it over and over. I’m really embarrassed. – Al Kaline
87544. I started in for the ball but I just couldn’t get it. I should have caught it because I was used to catching everything on the sandlots. But they hit the ball a lot harder in the major leagues and I just couldn’t reach the ball this time. – Al Kaline
87545. I didn’t know who was on the team, but I saw every eye as I walked down the aisle. It looked like a thousand eyes were staring right at me saying, ‘Who is this young punk?’ I just kept my eyes straight ahead. – Al Kaline
87546. What gets me upset about with the newer players is their lack of intensity. They tend to go through the motions a little bit. They don’t understand that you’ve got to practice the way you play. – Al Kaline
87547. I’ll never forget that first night with the team. Going to the ballpark on the bus was the hardest 30 minutes of my life. I had to walk down that aisle between all the players. I really didn’t know too much about the Detroit Tigers at that time. – Al Kaline
87548. It hurt me a great deal. It put a lot of pressure on me because I was at a young age and the writers around here and throughout the league starting comparing me to Cobb. It put a lot of pressure on me. – Al Kaline
87549. Switching to the outfield was the best break I ever got. – Al Kaline
87550. You know you haven’t stopped talking since I came here? You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle! – Bert Kalmar

87558. New ideas in technology are literally a dime-a-dozen, or cheaper than that. – Dean Kamen
87559. People take the longest possible paths, digress to numerous dead ends, and make all kinds of mistakes. Then historians come along and write summaries of this messy, nonlinear process and make it appear like a simple, straight line. – Dean Kamen

87562. The city needs a car like a fish needs a bicycle. – Dean Kamen
87563. There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter. – Dean Kamen
87564. To me, innovations are the wheel, fire, language, movable type. There are not 3 million innovations; there are 3 million inventions. – Dean Kamen
87565. My biggest worry is I’m running out of time and energy. Thirty years ago I thought 10 years was a really long time. – Dean Kamen
87566. We can’t live any more in a world which is based on stuff and not ideas. If you want to live with the world of stuff, we’re all doomed. – Dean Kamen
87567. You have teenagers thinking they’re going to make millions as NBA stars when that’s not realistic for even 1 percent of them. Becoming a scientist or engineer is. – Dean Kamen
87568. A patent, or invention, is any assemblage of technologies or ideas that you can put together that nobody put together that way before. That’s how the patent office defines it. That’s an invention. – Dean Kamen
87569. I do not want to waste any time. And if you are not working on important things, you are wasting time. – Dean Kamen
87570. I consider high-speed data transmission an invention that became a major innovation. It changed the way we all communicate. – Dean Kamen
87571. I don’t want to think about how many people have thought or still think that I’m crazy. – Dean Kamen
87572. Everybody has to be able to participate in a future that they want to live for. That’s what technology can do. – Dean Kamen
87573. As we move towards 8 or 10 billion people on the planet, there’s a little less gold per capita. Each one of us will continue to be fighting over an ever smaller percentage of total resources. This is not a happy thought. – Dean Kamen
87574. My biggest failure is I have too many to talk about. – Dean Kamen
87575. I don’t work on a project unless I believe that it will dramatically improve life for a bunch of people. – Dean Kamen
87576. I started realizing that I wasn’t so dumb; rather, most people simply didn’t know the answers to the questions that I was interested in-or they didn’t care. – Dean Kamen
87577. I think an education is not only important, it is the most important thing you can do with your life. – Dean Kamen
87578. I’d rather lose my own money than someone else’s. – Dean Kamen
87579. I’m a human entropy producer. – Dean Kamen
87580. If history is any indication, all truths will eventually turn out to be false. – Dean Kamen
87581. If you’re going to fail, you might as well fail at the big ones. – Dean Kamen
87582. In some cases, inventions prohibit innovation because we’re so caught up in playing with the technology, we forget about the fact that it was supposed to be important. – Dean Kamen
87583. Most of the time you will fail, but you will also occasionally succeed. Those occasional successes make all the hard work and sacrifice worthwhile. – Dean Kamen
87584. An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will change the way we live and work. – Dean Kamen
87585. Being a member of the labor force and a full-time parent means trying to manage against overwhelming odds in an unresponsive society. – Sheila B. Kamerman

87588. We ought to have more women in various management positions, because women are the ones who decide almost everything in the home. – Ingvar Kamprad
87589. We have to still develop the Ikea group. We need many billions of Swiss francs to take on China or Russia. – Ingvar Kamprad
87590. People say I am cheap, and I don’t mind if they do. – Ingvar Kamprad
87591. Our idea is to serve everybody, including people with little money. – Ingvar Kamprad
87592. If there is such a thing as good leadership, it is to give a good example. I have to do so for all the Ikea employees. – Ingvar Kamprad
87593. I’m not afraid of turning 80 and I have lots of things to do. I don’t have time for dying. – Ingvar Kamprad
87594. I am very proud to follow the rules of our company. – Ingvar Kamprad
87595. Everything we earn we need as a reserve. – Ingvar Kamprad
87596. Ikea people do not drive flashy cars or stay at luxury hotels. – Ingvar Kamprad
87597. Ray would be in trouble, he would get drunk, he would try and kill J.R on three different occasions, he would make mistakes with financial affairs, and have various human problems, but he didn’t have any mean bones in his body! That was a little bit of what the show was about. – Steve Kanaly
87598. As an actor I think sometimes producers need a little bit of encouragement to see you in a particular role, they may not have as much imagination as you would expect. – Steve Kanaly
87599. When a show becomes a mega hit internationally, you lose a lot of privacy, you become a hider. It’s not a human condition we are exposed to very often. – Steve Kanaly
87600. We’d go out in Larry’s hippie van and drive out all around Dallas. He loved Chinese food, he’d go in and say. Remember me Major Nelson, me and my friends here are making this show called Dallas, have you got a table for us? It would work every time. – Steve Kanaly
87601. We were all thrown together on this show very rapidly, there was casting then a few days later a meeting where we all got to read the scripts and meet each other. Literally days after that we were on our way to Dallas. – Steve Kanaly
87602. The best part of being on a television series for all those years is that you really get to hone your craft. – Steve Kanaly
87603. One thing that took a while to really adjust to was, you do it for the the art, for the money, for being together and having a good time, but you do it for all those people out there who really care about the show. We are now talking about a show we did over 20 years ago. – Steve Kanaly
87604. Once Ray was a Ewing, all the problems were solved. – Steve Kanaly
87605. My focus is that firearms are handled safely and that we can continue to enjoy them here in North America. – Steve Kanaly
87606. It was far more fun than work doing those shows for all those years, we all loved each other and loved going to work, we all understood how fortunate we were to be in that place, to have achieved that success worldwide. – Steve Kanaly
87607. If you stay in this business long enough, you’re liable to hit it big. – Steve Kanaly
87608. I was in love with this character of Ray Krebbs. I wanted the part badly. I had done several Western films in my career at that point and there wasn’t much opportunity then to play Western roles on television at that time. – Steve Kanaly
87609. I have English family in Northhampton and have been to England numerous times. – Steve Kanaly
87610. I had a traditional interview based on a phone call from an agent. He says there’s a show and they would like to see you and its called Dallas. With very little knowledge I go over to this meeting at Warner Brothers. – Steve Kanaly
87611. I grew up with the television product being old Western serials like Roy Rogers, and John Wayne and Gary Cooper, and many others were my favorites when I was a young person going to films. – Steve Kanaly
87612. I came in with my idea of what a cowboy would wear, but then I met some real cowboys and they said that I rode the horses well, shoed the horses, but no good cowboy would be wearing a pair of Levi’s. I had to get a good old pair of Wranglers. – Steve Kanaly
87613. Despite what people think of cowboys, they take pride in how they look, and that look is important to them. – Steve Kanaly
87614. I came in thinking about Bobby Ewing, but I love this Ray Krebbs role. – Steve Kanaly
87615. I felt that the studio recording process makes you stand still too long. – Kiri Te Kanawa
87616. When I’m alone at home, I really prefer to listen to Wagner’s orchestral music rather than any vocal music. I find it illuminating not to have to pay attention to voices in the recordings. – Kiri Te Kanawa
87617. I only have so much energy, so something had to go. This is why, at the end of the day, I’ve preserved my sanity for the children and also manage to do my best at work. – Kiri Te Kanawa
87618. I knew that I could be more creative onstage, to state my own case and deliver my own interpretation of the role much more aggressively than in the recording studio. – Kiri Te Kanawa
87619. We sing these songs for the everyday occasions of life, and they are very close to the hearts of our people. – Kiri Te Kanawa
87620. When I perform Strauss, it is as if the music fits me like a glove. My voice seems to lie in a happy area in this music, which is lyrical and passionate at the same time. – Kiri Te Kanawa

87628. This sounds like my autobiography, but I thought this would be a good time to sound off about myself, as I think that I have been silent too long about my views and opinions. – Bob Kane
87629. The trouble with being a ghostwriter or artist is that you must remain rather anonymously without credit. If one wants the credit, one has to cease being a ghost and become a leader or innovator. – Bob Kane
87630. The New Look of Batman is more illustrative and realistic. – Bob Kane
87631. It’s been 25 years now, and truthfully, time sometimes blurs the memory. – Bob Kane

87634. Although Bill Finger literally typed the scripts in the early days, he wrote the scripts from ideas that we mutually collaborated on. Many of the unique concepts and story twists also came from my own fertile imagination. – Bob Kane
87635. Batman has been acknowledged as a legend in my lifetime. – Bob Kane
87636. Much is written about the Batman because he is publicly exposed in print. Very little is known personally about his creator, because I haven’t given out that many interviews. – Bob Kane
87637. I am also a writer. That is a fact not known by the public in general. – Bob Kane
87638. It is difficult to separate, at times, the myth from the truth. – Bob Kane
87639. I created Batman about 10 years before Ian Fleming created James Bond. – Bob Kane
87640. I didn’t have the time to literally write and draw the strip at the same time. – Bob Kane
87641. I intend to explode the myths about myself and get down to the real truth about the legend that is Batman. – Bob Kane
87642. I was involved with the Batman. There are two sides to every story. Now you’ve heard my side. – Bob Kane
87643. If Bill Finger created Batman, where is Bill Finger’s byline on my strip? It is conspicuous by its absence. – Bob Kane
87644. If you ever want to get the facts straight about me or the Batman, please write to the original source, myself, for the truth, instead of second guessing. – Bob Kane

87657. I don’t put together cars, I put together people. – Carol Kane

87669. Most of us came out of Popeye, so turning Popeye into something believable was tricky enough. – Gil Kane
87670. It was exactly an assembly line. You could look into infinity down these rows of drawing tables. – Gil Kane
87671. Coming into the business, you’d pass through these little agencies until you got to understand what was happening in the business, unless you were really able to have a style strong enough to go directly to the publishers. – Gil Kane
87672. But generally speaking, people weren’t fired, art jobs were very hard to get, so something really calamitous had to happen to a person who was working there in order for you to find a space. – Gil Kane
87673. In other words, DC was never harmed by the paper shortages. – Gil Kane
87674. Comics were going down for the second time and here, all of a sudden, came this thing and for the next fifteen years, romance comics were about the top sellers in the field; they outsold everything. – Gil Kane
87675. DC used to print up all of their pages, they were the only company that did it. – Gil Kane
87676. Everything was sensory and I never saw the structure in anything. – Gil Kane
87677. First of all there was a guy named Charles Nicholas, who used to do all of the inking that Jack and Simon didn’t do. Simon used to do splashes and covers, but Charles Nicholas, after a while, did the inside of all of the stuff. – Gil Kane
87678. I just saw the emotion in everything, so I got to feel everything that was going on and that I was viewing, but I couldn’t think in terms of structure, which is the whole point of deep focus. – Gil Kane
87679. I think the lack of precision and deep focus is why it took me years to build up my work. – Gil Kane

87681. I was hired to do as many Boy Commando, Newsboy Legion, and Sandman stories as I could. – Gil Kane
87682. But I was also a big mouth, I started to develop a troubled relationship with Harry Shorten. – Gil Kane
87683. I’m fortunate in that I’m a lecturer too and this gets me out and about and away from the computer. I also have loads of friends all around the world, plus a core group of special people in my life that I can lean on, chat to, or just hang with. – Paul Kane
87684. My most intimate secrets? Well, if I told you those they wouldn’t be secrets now, would they? Seriously though I don’t have too many secrets. I’m a very open and honest person, sometimes too honest for my own good. – Paul Kane
87685. Writing can be a very solitary business. It’s you sat at a desk typing words into a computer. It can get lonely sometimes and lots of writers live quite isolated lives. – Paul Kane
87686. Unlike life, you’ve got more or less complete control over what’s going on in your stories. That’s not to say you can make characters do whatever you want them to – they usually have a life of their own if you’ve done your job properly. – Paul Kane
87687. This sort of encouragement is vital for any writer. And lastly the publication of Touching the Flame, which was on hold for two years and went through a few publishers before finding a stable home. – Paul Kane
87688. The most terrifying thing I can think of is being alone – and I mean utterly alone, like no one else in the world alone – at night. That’s the nucleus of the first story in my collection and it’s also where the title came from for the book. – Paul Kane
87689. Sometimes I’ll hear a phrase or a word and write it down in my little black notebook (a writer’s best mate), then come back to it and work a plot around it. – Paul Kane
87690. Some writers would be kinder than others, I’m sure. Hopefully they might describe my techniques as a mixture of tried and tested formulas – if it aint broke don’t fix it – and unexpected twists. – Paul Kane
87691. I also paint, draw and I’m into film and photography as well, and the same thing applies to all of them. You’re presenting this material to the general public and hoping that they’re going to ‘get’ what you’re doing. Some don’t, some do. – Paul Kane
87692. As for goals, I don’t set myself those anymore. I’m not one of these ‘I must have achieved this and that by next year’ kind of writers. I take things as they come and find that patience and persistence tend to win out in the end. – Paul Kane
87693. Because I’m such a creative person, and I’ve always got my nose in a book, I suppose it was only a matter of time before non-fiction turned into fiction again. But I never consciously set out to become a writer and I never thought I’d be doing the things I’m doing today. – Paul Kane
87694. It was relatively easy to write ‘The Cave of Lost Souls’, though, because it came to me one night in a dream. I remember waking up and having this idea for a complete story – from start to finish – in my head, so I jotted it down, then later began writing the thing. – Paul Kane
87695. Having said that, I’m a huge Jack Nicholson fan because he just goes nuts in everything he does. Having Jack in his heyday would also be a dream come true. – Paul Kane
87696. I believe that, like most writers, my personality comes through in the fiction. So in that respect my writing can’t be like any other author’s really. – Paul Kane
87697. I can look back at stuff I wrote in my early days and squirm at some of the mistakes I made. But we’re all learning every day; we never stop. I just hope people keep on liking what I do. That gives me such a kick. – Paul Kane
87698. I love a good laugh as well, I think that’s so important in life, which is probably why I’ve dabbled in comedy writing as well as horror. I think if you can make someone laugh or smile it’s the most special thing in the world. – Paul Kane
87699. For English assignments I was constantly coming up with these strange adventure stories… But I actually wanted to be an artist, or maybe work in the comic book industry. – Paul Kane
87700. I’ve had a lot of very positive feedback about those stories, and seem to have struck upon something that most people feel. I can also tap dance, and don’t know many other authors who can. – Paul Kane
87701. I sometimes wonder what would’ve happened if I’d entered the competition instead – I’d probably have come nowhere and given up on the whole fiction game. – Paul Kane
87702. I know it’s popular to say this because she’s the woman of the moment, but Halle Berry. Not only does she have obvious audience appeal and star quality, but she’s a damn good actress too. – Paul Kane
87703. I don’t know anyone who actually likes the dark or night-time. I don’t care how much they say it doesn’t bother them. That’s why we used to huddle in caves and light fires when the sun went down. – Paul Kane
87704. Sorrows cannot all be explained away in a life truly lived, grief and loss accumulate like possessions. – Stefan Kanfer

87706. There’s something strange and powerful about black-and-white imagery. – Stefan Kanfer

87709. Amateurs hope, professionals work. – Garson Kanin

87729. All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason. – Immanuel Kant
87730. All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope? – Immanuel Kant
87731. It is not God’s will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy. – Immanuel Kant
87732. All thought must, directly or indirectly, by way of certain characters, relate ultimately to intuitions, and therefore, with us, to sensibility, because in no other way can an object be given to us. – Immanuel Kant

87734. But although all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not follow that it arises from experience. – Immanuel Kant
87735. Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind, forgetting the Greek who said: ‘War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.’ – Immanuel Kant
87736. Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play. – Immanuel Kant

87769. There’s that thing about the ’80s, the ’40s and the ’60s, and the ’30s, the ’50s and the ’70s. Something about those odd decades in this century that weren’t too pleasant. – Paul Kantner

87813. Re-investing in one’s own little moments of insight is very important. – Anish Kapoor

87823. One doesn’t make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer. – Anish Kapoor

87825. Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments. – Anish Kapoor
87826. You know that day after day of, Oh God what am I going to do with myself feeling? The fear of the emptiness that it implies keeps me going. – Anish Kapoor

87839. I, in the end, make art for myself. – Anish Kapoor
87840. I’m not an artist who has an agenda that’s set by the work. – Anish Kapoor
87841. I’ve always felt that if one was going to take seriously this vocation as an artist, you have to get beyond that decorative facade. – Anish Kapoor

87843. If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride. – Anish Kapoor
87844. It’s the role of the artist to pursue content. – Anish Kapoor
87845. Maybe the way we have learned to look has changed in the last 25 years, and the exotic is much more acceptable. There are many artists now, younger artists, who work out of the exotic. – Anish Kapoor
87846. Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form. – Anish Kapoor
87847. My first show sold within the first 3 minutes, and I came back to the studio and spent the next two and a half years making almost nothing. – Anish Kapoor
87848. My work is not about my life history. It’s not about the story of my neurosis. – Anish Kapoor
87849. One can hardly be Indian and not know that almost every accent, which hand you eat your food with, has some deeper symbolic truth, reality. – Anish Kapoor
87850. One cannot set out to make a work that’s spiritual. What is a contemporary iconography for the spiritual? Is it some fuzzy space? – Anish Kapoor
87851. One does afford oneself the luxury to come into the studio and all day, every day, spend one’s life making aesthetic propositions. What an immense luxury. – Anish Kapoor
87852. One does not set out with the idea that I’ve just had a great idea and now I’m going to go and carry it out. Almost all art that’s made like that doesn’t go anywhere. – Anish Kapoor
87853. I’ve nothing to say. – Anish Kapoor
87854. I think we brothers realised his loss more and more as we grew older. We actually grew closer after his death. – Raj Kapoor
87855. A woman always has her man, but the man unconsciously leans on his roots, his heritage. He feels like an orphan without his parents. – Raj Kapoor
87856. Once, he was chosen to play Ram in a small Ramleela company, but his parents were against it. – Raj Kapoor
87857. I’ve struggled a lot for what I have today. – Raj Kapoor
87858. We’ve already gotten a significant grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and a university consortium. I think the whole sector of Foundations, potentially with government support, is promising – more than promising, I think, it’s substantial. – Mitch Kapor
87859. The culmination of all of that was the decision to start a company, which became Lotus, to do a product, which became 1-2-3. By the time I reached that point it had been four years, and it felt like a lifetime, but really it was kind of evolutionary. – Mitch Kapor
87860. That’s why it has to be a nonprofit, because a nonprofit is required to take monies it receives and use them for the purposes for which it’s chartered by the government. It can’t be pocketed. – Mitch Kapor
87861. No, my family is Russian, Georgian, via Ellis Island. – Mitch Kapor
87862. I was trying to figure out what to do next, I’d been accumulating ideas for productivity tools – software people could use every day, particularly to help organize their lives. – Mitch Kapor
87863. I actually built a tiny computer as a junior high school project. – Mitch Kapor
87864. Well, I had a lot of help from my father with the soldering and so on, and he was very good at math and was fascinated with computers, and so I was fortunate enough to have a bunch of exposure going all the way back to high school – this was in the 1960s. – Mitch Kapor
87865. What is design? It’s where you stand with a foot in two worlds – the world of technology and the world of people and human purposes – and you try to bring the two together. – Mitchell Kapor
87866. Inside every working anarchy, there’s an Old Boy Network. – Mitchell Kapor
87867. Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. – Mitchell Kapor
87868. Architecture is politics. – Mitchell Kapor
87869. It doesn’t matter how adventurous you want to be, you’ve still got to contain your identity. – Alex Kapranos
87870. I want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance. – Alex Kapranos
87871. Maybe ‘Can’t Stop Feeling’ and ‘Turn It On’ we’ll just release as singles. It’s a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own. – Alex Kapranos
87872. People are rapidly losing hope and trust. They believe their government has been captured by special interests and no longer cares about them, and they are right. – Marcy Kaptur
87873. Without a doubt, first thing we should do is clean up our fiscal house, and that starts with balancing our budgets and digging out of this red ink. We cannot expect to continue in this fashion and remain the leader of the free world. – Marcy Kaptur
87874. Who owns the assets of our Nation? Increasingly, foreign interests own our assets, and we owe them money. No wonder people think our country is headed in the wrong direction. It is. – Marcy Kaptur
87875. We have seen voters denied their rights in recent elections as they have been incorrectly purged from lists, their absentee votes not counted, and voting machine integrity and security not assured. – Marcy Kaptur
87876. We came from a family where we ran our own small business. Our dad made his own products. We made our own sausages, our own meatloafs, our own pickles. Dad had to do everything himself. He had to figure out how to finance his business. – Marcy Kaptur
87877. These Americans are among the working poor with full-time jobs earning $5.15 an hour. Millions fall into this boat, even more when you consider that the poverty line has not been adequately adjusted to reflect the true level of poverty in this country. – Marcy Kaptur
87878. That level of trade deficit throttles real growth in our country and continues the unfortunate path of selling out America. We are not winning the global trade war, we are losing it badly. – Marcy Kaptur
87879. Strong efforts have been made in Ohio to curb the authoritarianism of our Secretary of State, Kenneth Blackwell, as he has purged people from lists in our State in particular precincts where voters are heavily minority. – Marcy Kaptur
87880. People who go to work every day and perform the services essential to keeping our economy functioning deserve to live above the poverty level. – Marcy Kaptur
87881. Increasingly, Americans don’t own America. – Marcy Kaptur
87882. In fact, our monthly trade deficit figure is so huge it equals the entire annual budget of our Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans fought to make us free from foreign tyranny, but the new tyranny is taking a different form. – Marcy Kaptur
87883. I grew up in a family where our mother made our clothing. We didn’t have a lot of money, so we learned how to scrimp, and we learned how to invent and to create. And those are learned skills. – Marcy Kaptur
87884. As I watch what is happening in the Middle East and the carnage that comes over our television screens every evening, I cannot help but ask myself, what is wrong with humankind that we cannot stop the killing? – Marcy Kaptur
87885. America is becoming more and more dependent upon imports from foreign manufacturers than we are exports from our country in all fields: in appliances, in clothing, even food. This year America may become for the first time in its history a net food importer. – Marcy Kaptur
87886. A market where chief executive officers make 262 times that of the average worker and 821 times that of the minimum-wage worker is not a market that is working well. And it is surely not working well enough to build a solid middle class. – Marcy Kaptur
87887. Since President Bush took office, we have lost 3 million more good jobs. – Marcy Kaptur
87888. This is the most intimate relationship between literature and its readers: they treat the text as a part of themselves, as a possession. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87889. Underground literature only began in the ’70s, when technical developments made it possible. Before that, we were involved in a game with the censors. That was our struggle. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87890. Most correspondents came from the former colonial powers – there were British, French, and a lot of Italians, because there were a lot of Italian communities there. And of course there were a lot of Russians. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87891. There is a lack of critical assessment of the past. But you have to understand that the current ruling elite is actually the old ruling elite. So they are incapable of a self-critical approach to the past. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87892. There is a fundamental difference between the Polish experience of the state and the Russian experience. In the Polish experience, the state was always a foreign power. So, to hate the state was a patriotic act. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87893. In order to feel contempt, you generally need to cherish some kind of feelings. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87894. In the First World War, there was the sudden passion of nationalism, and the killing took place because of these emotions. But the Soviet case is different, because you had systematic murder, like the Holocaust. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87895. In the Russian experience, although the Russian state is oppressive, it is their state, it is part of their fabric, and so the relation between Russian citizens and their state is complicated. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87896. Money changes all the iron rules into rubber bands. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87897. We have such a mixture now, such a fusion of different genres. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87898. The official independence celebration was going to be held over four or five days, and a group of journalists from all over the world was allowed to fly in, because Angola was closed otherwise. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87899. My writing is a combination of three elements. The first is travel: not travel like a tourist, but travel as exploration. The second is reading literature on the subject. The third is reflection. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87900. The tradition of Russian literature is also an eastern tradition of learning poetry and prose by heart. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87901. The extent of one man’s guilt may be defined by how much of it is experienced by the party he injured. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87902. The Cold War was waged in a particularly brutal and cynical way in Africa, and Africa seemed powerless to do anything to stop it. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87903. The Cold War in Africa is one of the darkest, most disgraceful pages in contemporary history, and everybody ought to be ashamed. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87904. Readership was high, and very attentive. It was people’s only source of knowledge about the world. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87905. People were really interested in what was going on because of the international context of the Cold War. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87906. Our salvation is in striving to achieve what we know we’ll never achieve. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87907. There are several reasons why Russians view the oppressive state positively. First, in the Russian Orthodox religion, there is an understanding of authority as something sent by God. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87908. When man meets an obstacle he can’t destroy, he destroys himself. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87909. I’m trying to put more elements of the essay into my writing. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87910. When is a crisis reached? When questions arise that can’t be answered. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87911. In modern Russia, you have no official, formal assessment of this past. Nobody in any Russian document has said that the policy of the Soviet government was criminal, that it was terrible. No one has ever said this. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87912. Amin hid nothing. Everybody knew everything. Yet the American Senate only introduced a resolution breaking off trade with Amin three months before his overthrow. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87913. Conditions were so hard. To send the news out, telex was the only means, but telex was very rare in Africa. So if somebody was flying to Europe, we gave him correspondence to send after he arrived. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87914. Be careful: they have arms, and no alternatives. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87915. Amin managed to invite both the US and Soviet ambassadors to his palace at the very same time and then deliberately kept them together in his waiting room. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87916. Amin knew that neither West nor East would criticize him for fear that he would support the other side. He felt he was untouchable and he said so openly. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87917. Amin is the shame of the whole world. The fact that he managed to rule so long and commit so many crimes was only possible thanks to the hypocrisy of the East and the West who were waging the Cold War for world domination. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87918. I’ll tell you what colonial experience is. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87919. He killed his enemies because he was afraid they would kill him. Amin ordered entire tribes to be put to death, because he feared they would rebel. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87920. I remember that during the period leading up to independence in Angola in 1975, I was the only correspondent there at all for three months. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87921. I remember in 1978 meeting two Ugandan captains in the hotel talking Russian. They had been educated in Moscow and since they came from different Ugandan peoples, it was the only way they could understand one another. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87922. Do not be misled by the fact that you are at liberty and relatively free; that for the moment you are not under lock and key: you have simply been granted a reprieve. – Ryszard Kapuscinski
87923. People who decide they came to earth to work, who make work their personal philosophy, are kept very busy. – Constantine Karamanlis
87924. You do what you have to do in life, when you form a philosophy that you can’t talk yourself out of. – Constantine Karamanlis
87925. We are given to the cult of personality; when things go badly we look to some messiah to save us. If by chance we think we have found one, it will not be long before we destroy him. – Constantine Karamanlis
87926. Delete the negative; accentuate the positive! – Donna Karan
87927. Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul. – Donna Karan
87928. We’ve come a long way. Power dressing now is designed to let the woman inside us come through. – Donna Karan
87929. It’s really easy to get colors right. It’s really hard to get black – and neutrals – right. Black is certainly a color but it’s also an illusion. – Donna Karan
87930. I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It’s about space and form and it’s something you can share with other people. – Donna Karan
87931. Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable. – Donna Karan
87932. I feel very strongly about dresses on every level – a dress feels like underpinning. – Donna Karan
87933. Accent your positive and delete your negative. – Donna Karan
87934. Evening is a time of real experimentation. You never want to look the same way. – Donna Karan
87935. Everything in life… has to have balance. – Donna Karan
87936. I’d rather promote New York than anything else in this world because New York to me means the world. – Donna Karan
87937. If the money we donate helps one child or can ease the pain of one parent, those funds are well spent. – Carl Karcher
87938. We have developed overlays for the keys of the cash registers with the help of the Braille Institute, so that blind crew members can take orders and help our guests. – Carl Karcher
87939. And for a very special group of people, we’ve provided their only job. I’m speaking of course of the disabled. They have stated they don’t want a hand out just a hand. We are happy to give them one. – Carl Karcher
87940. I am happy to donate funds to various organizations that help people in need. – Carl Karcher
87941. I’ve often been asked to run for office. I have no desire to do that, I would not want my time with the family or the company restricted because of the demands of an elected position. – Carl Karcher
87942. In other restaurants you’ll see employees signing to each other, since we also hire many deaf men and women. – Carl Karcher
87943. We find that other employees are very enthusiastic about their fellow crew members who have disabilities-or what they previously thought of as disabilities. – Carl Karcher
87944. We have people working for us full-time because they were forced to retire at 65. I know that I never want to stop working, and I am glad that I can offer positions to others who feel the same way. – Carl Karcher
87945. Whenever you’re successful you owe that success to the people in the community, because they are the ones buying your product. – Carl Karcher
87946. It’s no secret that I’ve become known for my strong political views. – Carl Karcher
87947. In addition we also hire many senior citizens. – Carl Karcher
87948. I have to be in a relationship in order to be intimate. I’m not the one-night-stand kind of girl. Despite the rumors. – Kim Kardashian
87949. You make mistakes, but I don’t have any regrets. I’m the kind of person who takes responsibility for it and deals with it. I learn from everything I do. I work very hard, I have so many things going on in my life. Get to know me and see who I am. – Kim Kardashian
87950. White is actually one of my favorite colors. I have a white car. I love white. – Kim Kardashian
87951. The perfect date for me would be staying at home, making a big picnic in bed, eating Wotsits and cookies while watching cable TV. – Kim Kardashian
87952. I’m totally not against plastic surgery. I’ve tried Botox before. That’s the only thing that I’ve done. – Kim Kardashian
87953. I know people think we drive around in these nice cars and we do whatever we want and our parents will pay our credit cards, but that’s not the case. Sure, my parents were generous; I got a nice car at 16, but at 18 I was cut off. I’ve worked really hard. I opened the store myself. – Kim Kardashian
87954. I feel lazy when I’m not working. I learned all my business sense from my dad. He always believed in me, and I think the last thing he said to me before he passed away was, ‘I know you’re gonna be OK. I’m not worried about you’. – Kim Kardashian
87955. I don’t even drink! I can’t stand the taste of alcohol. Every New Year’s Eve I try one drink and every time it makes me feel sick. So I don’t touch booze – I’m always the designated driver. – Kim Kardashian
87956. I am Armenian, so of course I am obsessed with laser hair removal! Arms, bikini, legs, underarms… my entire body is hairless. – Kim Kardashian
87957. Holidays are the best. I couldn’t imagine being from a small family. – Kim Kardashian
87958. I urge people to learn from the mistakes of others. Please drink responsibly and it’s never acceptable to drink and drive! – Kim Kardashian
87959. When there is life and mankind, a person will live striving for good deeds, liberty and a bright life, and wish that goodness and justice will reign in the world. – Islom Karimov
87960. A person may rightfully be happy if in this life he could do a great favor for widows and orphans, could assist support than, and facilitate fate of people. – Islom Karimov
87961. I say there is not more happiness for me than the freedom of my Homeland. – Islom Karimov
87962. I’m proud, I’ve been working with this kind of self-sacrificing people like you. – Islom Karimov
87963. May there always be peace, love and happiness in every house. – Islom Karimov
87964. With the advent of spring and beginning of the new harvest season the creators of abundance, our peasants, come out to the fields to sow with good aspirations and hopes. – Islom Karimov
87965. Your destiny is my destiny. Your happiness is my happiness. – Islom Karimov
87966. The monster was the best friend I ever had. – Boris Karloff
87967. I skip through the programming to watch the commercials. – Mel Karmazin
87968. There could be no better time to fully integrate Infinity with Viacom’s tremendous portfolio of assets. Infinity is performing at record levels and continues to generate a tremendous amount of free cash flow that will now fully benefit Viacom. – Mel Karmazin
87969. You may not like the humor, but that is why every radio has an on-off button. – Mel Karmazin
87970. It’s hard to get everybody to recycle paper and plastic, let alone. – Richard Karn
87971. If you are charged with this responsibility of enhancing interrogations, or using soldiers to enhance interrogations to find Saddam, and you’re above the law for all practical purposes, you might try some unusual techniques. Now we know that, in fact, they did. – Janis Karpinski
87972. After they killed Uday and Qusay, the focus centered on Saddam: Find him, kill him, capture him, whatever it takes. To me, it was a false sense of security: If we get Saddam, we’re going to win this war. – Janis Karpinski
87973. And shortly after that, when I try to get access to those soldiers, to ask them what in the world was going on, I was told that they did not work for me and I had no right to have access to any one of them. – Janis Karpinski
87974. At that time, about July 5, we had no Iraqi corrections officers working for us. It was a responsibility of the CPA, with contractors, to set up a training program. – Janis Karpinski
87975. I had 16 other prisons that I needed to pay attention to, and we did. And I had 3,400 soldiers who were depending on me to take care of them, and I did. – Janis Karpinski
87976. I joined the 800th MP Brigade when they were already deployed. – Janis Karpinski
87977. I knew how many MPs I had assigned to the brigade, how many military prison operations I would be running, but we needed to evaluate how many criminal prison operations we could support. – Janis Karpinski
87978. I thought that that mission and the mission of taking care of those soldiers were my priorities, and I stand by the same today. There wasn’t a lot of support for those soldiers. – Janis Karpinski
87979. If they conducted a raid in this room, you’d all be policed up. They’d take all of you to Abu Ghraib and turn you over to the soldiers. Maybe there’s only one or two of you in this group who was a known associate or had any piece of information that they are trying to exploit. – Janis Karpinski
87980. The vast majority of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, even after interrogation, had no further intel value whatsoever. – Janis Karpinski
87981. In November, they transferred control of Abu Ghraib to the military intelligence command completely; it was, after all, the center for interrogations for Iraq. – Janis Karpinski
87982. It’s hard to be happy when you are facing 120 to 140 degree temperatures and nothing seems to be moving in a direction that you think or they think or you’ve been told it’s supposed to be moving in. – Janis Karpinski
87983. Military intelligence interrogators, however, their goal is to get information, to save lives, to stop the war, to find Saddam – whatever the information is going to be used for, at whatever cost. – Janis Karpinski
87984. Military police know what to do, they know the Geneva Conventions, and their objective is to provide a safe, secure, fair environment for prisoners under their control. – Janis Karpinski
87985. Shortly after we arrived in Baghdad, we had another conversation with the ambassador. He said that he wanted us to give him the timeline, because we had 90 days to get these prisons operational and transfer responsibility back to the Iraqis. – Janis Karpinski
87986. That policy was abandoned very quickly, and the military police were tagged with the responsibility of conducting training, which they did. We were not equipped or set up with personnel to recruit new Iraqi guards. – Janis Karpinski
87987. The day after the prison was transferred to the military intelligence command, they had an entire battalion – 1,200, 1,500 soldiers – arrive at Abu Ghraib just for force protection alone. – Janis Karpinski
87988. The mission statement was ordered, and it sent the 800th MP Brigade, effective the first of July, up to Baghdad. I joined my brigade to take command at the end of June. – Janis Karpinski
87989. The war was declared over – the end of major combat operations – in May 2003. Release procedures got under way immediately; reducing the population from 8,000 to just over 300, of course, requires fewer military police soldiers. – Janis Karpinski
87990. They transfer the prison, and all of a sudden all this money cuts loose, all these people cut loose. – Janis Karpinski
87991. We need to fix this. It hasn’t been done yet because there’s still a reluctance to admit that there was even a problem – anywhere above seven rogue soldiers who got out of control on the night shift. – Janis Karpinski
87992. I was ordered not to go out to Abu Ghraib after dark early on, because Abu Ghraib was extremely dangerous. – Janis Karpinski
87993. There was a military police brigade with over 3,400 soldiers getting ready to go home because their mission – prisoner-of-war operations – was finished. – Janis Karpinski
87994. No, I do not want to sacrifice four days for two games. My time is too valuable to do that. – Anatoly Karpov
87995. Bulgaria is the first state that has been awarded for its excellent fight against iodine deficiency by UNICEF. – Anatoly Karpov
87996. Chess is my life, but my life is not chess. – Anatoly Karpov
87997. Children can take lessons in that school via the Internet and can score extra points like e.g. in Geography or History. That sounds very promising and is a fantastic basis for future steps. – Anatoly Karpov
87998. First of all, we have to go back to the classical time control. – Anatoly Karpov
87999. I am thinking about chess in schools in particular. In the USA more than 3200 children competed in an event. – Anatoly Karpov
88000. I like to do projects in which you can see statistical results. I am very happy for all these small children, who have been the biggest group of victims of iodine deficiency. – Anatoly Karpov
