90429. People say you can’t teach writing, but I think that’s nonsense. – Tracy Kidder

90430. The combination of domesticity and wildness – that’s a deep expression. – Tracy Kidder

90431. In a very basic way, a prominent landmark such as Mt. Holyoke tells you where you are. They let you know that you’re not the first person in a place. – Tracy Kidder

90432. Things were here before you and will be here after you’re gone. The geographic features, especially, give you a sense of your own place in the world and in time. – Tracy Kidder

90433. What I like about non-fiction is that it covers such a huge territory. The best non-fiction is also creative. – Tracy Kidder

90434. What interests me is trying to catch the reflection of the human being on the page. I’m interested in how ordinary people live their lives. – Tracy Kidder

90435. You do the right thing even if it makes you feel bad. The purpose of life is not to be happy but to be worthy of happiness. – Tracy Kidder

90436. If you live in the same small place long enough, something you don’t like is bound to happen. – Tracy Kidder

90440. I always want to write something better than the last book. – Tracy Kidder

90442. I know that to write you have to have stories you want to tell. You have to keep your mind alive, and you have to work hard. – Tracy Kidder

90444. I tell beginning readers to read a lot and write a lot. If you want to write a book, find a subject that’s really worth the time and effort you’ll put in. – Tracy Kidder

90445. I think if the writing comes too easily, it shows – it’s usually hard to read. – Tracy Kidder

90446. I usually write about ordinary people and ordinary things, but Paul Farmer is the least ordinary person I’ve ever met… He’s the leader of a small group of people who hope to cure a sick world, and I hope my book can help in some small way. – Tracy Kidder

90447. I want my prose to be as clear as a pane of glass. – Tracy Kidder

90448. I wrote a novel about the combat experiences I didn’t have in Vietnam. – Tracy Kidder

90449. Continuity is one of the things I like about New England. – Tracy Kidder

90450. It’s so bizarre, I’m not scared of snakes or spiders. But I’m scared of butterflies. There is something eerie about them. Something weird! – Nicole Kidman

90451. People can tell you what to do, but ultimately, we’re all going to die, so how do you want to live? – Nicole Kidman

90452. My parents thought it was nice to develop my imagination, but they never seriously thought that anything would ever come of it. They said that I couldn’t be an actress because I would be taller than all my leading men, so I thought I would be a writer instead. – Nicole Kidman

90453. My life collapsed. People ran from me because suddenly it was ‘Oh my God! It’s over for her now!’ – Nicole Kidman

90454. My choices in films are spontaneous. – Nicole Kidman

90455. LIfe has got all those twists and turns. You’ve got to hold on tight and off you go. – Nicole Kidman

90456. It’s a very brave thing to fall in love. You have to be willing to trust somebody else with your whole being, and that’s very difficult, really difficult and very brave. – Nicole Kidman

90457. It was very natural for me to want to disappear into dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist. – Nicole Kidman

90458. If you’re going to be with someone, you’re with them, you’re committed to them. I’m not sort of flitting around. – Nicole Kidman

90459. I’m trying to find a man to share my life with, but it’s not been easy. I’m a 35-year-old woman with two small children. – Nicole Kidman

90460. Salary stories are intrusive. Do you ask your neighbour what they earn for their job? – Nicole Kidman

90461. I’m a woman, a mother, a daughter, a sister. I’m a real person operating in the world. For me to discuss the most private thing feels wrong. It feels like I’m betraying myself and my children. – Nicole Kidman

90462. To be honest, I am completely natural. I have nothing in my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, and I don’t smoke. I take care of myself and I’m very proud to say that. – Nicole Kidman

90463. I’m not sure what the future holds but I do know that I’m going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said “Nic, it is what it is, it’s not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is”. – Nicole Kidman

90464. Since I have fair skin, I have to stay out of the sun. I can’t stand the sun. I dyed my hair red for a while during the 1990s but I’m actually a natural blonde. – Nicole Kidman

90465. Stay out of the sun, because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I’m very medical. I come from a medical family. – Nicole Kidman

90466. That goes against what I believe morally. That’s adultery, and if I’m accused of that, no, that’s not right. I have two kids who see that and remember that and judge me. It didn’t happen, and it’s not to be reported that way. – Nicole Kidman

90467. The loss of a child is the most terrifying place for me to go. – Nicole Kidman

90468. I’m a person that carries everything that happened to me in my past, with me into the future. I refuse to let it make me bitter. I still completely believe in love and I remain open to anything that will happen to me. – Nicole Kidman

90469. They’ve said I’m gay, they’ve said everyone is gay. I personally don’t believe in doing huge lawsuits about that stuff. Tom does. That’s what he wants to do, that’s what he’s going to do. You do not tell Tom what to do. He is a force to be reckoned with. – Nicole Kidman

90470. I think it’s important that we don’t all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything’s fine. – Nicole Kidman

90471. What’s the point of doing something good if nobody’s watching. – Nicole Kidman

90472. When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness. – Nicole Kidman

90473. Yippee! I can’t believe I made it. It feels like a long haul to get here. I’m so fine with it. People want you to have some sort of breakdown, but I’m relieved to be 40 years old, and I’ve lived a life. – Nicole Kidman

90474. You don’t have to be naked to be sexy. – Nicole Kidman

90475. You’re not anyone in America unless you’re on TV. – Nicole Kidman

90476. You’ve just got to have a sense of respect for the person you have children with. Anger doesn’t help anybody. Ultimately you have to say forgiveness is important, and honoring what you had together is important. But it’s easy to say and harder to do. – Nicole Kidman

90477. There’s no drugs, no Tom in a dress, no psychiatrists. – Nicole Kidman

90478. I love acting, but it’s much more fun taking the kids to the zoo. – Nicole Kidman

90479. Cinema is a director’s medium, so you’re saying, “What do you want?” Being an actor is about adapting – physically and emotionally. If that means you have to look great for it and they can make you look great, then thank you. And if you have to have everything washed away, then I’m willing to do that too. – Nicole Kidman

90480. Even from a very early age, I knew I didn’t want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous. – Nicole Kidman

90481. Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it. – Nicole Kidman

90482. Having gone through all of this, I feel in some ways calmer now. It’s strange, but sad. I think I’ll always be sad. – Nicole Kidman

90483. Honestly, people have said everything under the sun. I just want to do my work, raise my kids, and hopefully find somebody who I can share my life with again. – Nicole Kidman

90484. I always wanted to get married with just candles! I think candlelight is the most beautiful light there is and there’s something very spiritual about it. – Nicole Kidman

90485. I believe that as much as you take, you have to give back. It’s important not to focus on yourself too much. – Nicole Kidman

90486. I don’t believe in having body doubles for a film. – Nicole Kidman

90487. I have a boy’s body. I would prefer to have more curves because I think that’s more beautiful. I would much rather have J. Lo’s body than mine. – Nicole Kidman

90488. I have a different approach. I don’t file lawsuits because I really don’t care. – Nicole Kidman

90489. I have a little bit of a belly, a tiny bit of pooch. It’s the one thing I don’t want to lose. I just like having some softness. If I lose that, then Tom might leave me. – Nicole Kidman

90490. I was walking around legally blind. Now I have 20-20 vision. I can’t believe I spent so many years blurry, but I think that coincides with how I was feeling. Now I notice if people are watching me, but I also smile right back if someone waves, which helps. – Nicole Kidman

90491. I love acting but I don’t like all of the other stuff associated with it. The interest in celebrities, the press, the Internet, when your identity becomes mixed up in the way people are preceving you. – Nicole Kidman

90492. I’d like to be wise. You have to go through a lot to get there, but I’m willing to go through a lot. – Nicole Kidman

90493. I think I would be very sad if I wasn’t able to have a baby. – Nicole Kidman

90494. I wouldn’t want to be married to me, but luckily Tom Cruise does. – Nicole Kidman

90495. I would describe myself as emotional and highly strung. If something upsets me, it really upsets me. If something makes me angry, I get really angry. But it’s all very upfront. I can’t hide it. I’m also loyal and I hope I’m fun. – Nicole Kidman

90496. I just want to be nominated; beggars can’t be choosers. – Nicole Kidman

90497. I think that the most difficult thing is allowing yourself to be loved, so receiving the love and feeling like you deserve it is a pretty big struggle. I suppose that’s what I’ve learnt recently, to allow myself to be loved. – Nicole Kidman

90498. I love working with people who are inspired and obsessive. – Nicole Kidman

90499. I think each role takes a little from you and circles around you for the rest of your life. I don’t think you ever abandon any of them. – Nicole Kidman

90500. I think at some stage, I would love to have another child. I would love to settle into a relationship that was really important to me. I actually am not good at the balance at that. – Nicole Kidman

90501. I think actors are getting so much more power these days, but I’m not. I stay very much away from the decisions, the way in which things are orchestrated, what’s been changed. I just try to stay completely in the role as the actor and as the character. – Nicole Kidman

90502. I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter. – Nicole Kidman

90503. I never wore glasses except when I had to read a teleprompter at an awards show or drive, so I didn’t notice much. I could exist in my head. It was kind of my escape from the world and my protection. – Nicole Kidman

90504. I never read reviews at all. I’m proud of the work I did. – Nicole Kidman

90505. I never knew I’d be in a musical, let alone win an award for one. – Nicole Kidman

90507. You know I love pot, and I love beer, but I am totally sober, just because it completely stopped working for me. – Anthony Kiedis

90508. We’ll have these people hang out with us while we’re doing our touring, and talk to them and let them speak their piece to the world. – Anthony Kiedis

90509. Sometimes life’s so much cooler when you just don’t know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered your head open yet. – Anthony Kiedis

90510. We did that with people like Chris Rock, Woody Harrelson, and the environmentalist Julia Butterfly Hill. – Anthony Kiedis

90511. I would consider him definitely one of my very best friends and I know he feels the same about me. We have a lot of love and respect. – Anthony Kiedis

90512. Also, we’re all actually different blood types and we have one represented by each guy in the band. – Anthony Kiedis

90513. I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction. – Anthony Kiedis

90514. In terms of having high hopes that the level of consciousness will get higher and higher, yeah. – Anthony Kiedis

90515. But then when he left, I realized that it was harder to write songs and feel spiritually connected to art and music as a band. When he came back I felt it again, instantaneously. – Anthony Kiedis

90516. We’ve just learned how to balance ourselves a little better so that we’re happier way more of the time than not, and, you know, being happy is a radical and desirable act if you ask me. – Anthony Kiedis

90517. But I believe above all that I wanted to build the palace of my memory, because my memory is my only homeland. – Anselm Kiefer

90518. But we should also not forget the difference between what first motivated me and the work that is the result. – Anselm Kiefer

90519. I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art. – Anselm Kiefer

90520. The reason for this project comes from my childhood, that is clear to me. I did not have any toys. So, I played in the bricks of ruined buildings around me and with which I built houses. – Anselm Kiefer

90521. When, at the end of the 1960s, I became interested in the Nazi era, it was a taboo subject in Germany. No one spoke about it anymore, no more in my house than anywhere else. – Anselm Kiefer

90522. Not only did God deliver me from the bondage of alcoholism, he also blessed my family financially because of my commitment to honor what he had done for me and for not doing what I believed could possibly be destructive to others. – Richard Kiel

90523. Once a Bond fan, always a Bond fan. – Richard Kiel

90524. It is always more fun to play a bad guy than to be yourself as you can create a character unlike your own and be someone you are not for a change. – Richard Kiel

90525. I am actually 7 foot and and one-half inches tall. I say Seven two because it’s easier. Unlike some tall skinny guys I am really “big” weighing around 350 pounds. – Richard Kiel

90526. To be loved is important as is having a sense of accomplishment but to love is equally important in life especially when it is combined with taking action to do something for someone else to make their life better. – Richard Kiel

90533. One can advise comfortably from a safe port. – Soren Kierkegaard

90535. Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate. – Soren Kierkegaard

90536. Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it. – Soren Kierkegaard

90537. Not just in commerce but in the world of ideas too our age is putting on a veritable clearance sale. Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wonder whether in the end anyone will want to make a bid. – Soren Kierkegaard

90539. Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts. – Soren Kierkegaard

90540. Purity of heart is to will one thing. – Soren Kierkegaard

90541. Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings. – Soren Kierkegaard

90542. Since my earliest childhood a barb of sorrow has lodged in my heart. As long as it stays I am ironic if it is pulled out I shall die. – Soren Kierkegaard

90543. Take away paradox from the thinker and you have a professor. – Soren Kierkegaard

90544. The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays. – Soren Kierkegaard

90547. Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. – Soren Kierkegaard

90548. The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you. – Soren Kierkegaard

90549. The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins. – Soren Kierkegaard

90550. There are, as is known, insects that die in the moment of fertilization. So it is with all joy: life’s highest, most splendid moment of enjoyment is accompanied by death. – Soren Kierkegaard

90570. Don’t forget to love yourself. – Soren Kierkegaard

90571. Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth – look at the dying man’s struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment. – Soren Kierkegaard

90572. How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech. – Soren Kierkegaard

90573. Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God. – Soren Kierkegaard

90587. There are mysteries, secret zones in each individual. – Krzysztof Kieslowski

90597. I used to think drinking was the only way to be happy. Now I know there is no way to be happy. – Laura Kightlinger

90855. I think Madonna has a great deal of intelligence and capability. I have a lot of respect for her. She’s taken her career and maximized it with intelligence and creativity. – Carole King

90866. I know at my church a lot of the times we sung from hymn books and as we got older we started to change with time. I can honestly say that I was never influenced to write for the church. – Charles King

90899. Time has lost all meaning in that nightmare alley of the Western world known as the American mind. – Florence King

90901. People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they’re all asleep at the switch. Consequently we are living in the Age of Human Error. – Florence King

90910. But the funny thing is, I broke my finger not on set doing kung fu. I broke my finger when I fell down the stairs prior to going on set. – Jaime King

90911. We got to jump on, like, trampolines, learn flips, learn karate, kung fu, Hong Kong street fighting. – Jaime King

90912. I’ve always been really athletic, which really helped, because when I first started doing the training for Bulletproof Monk, it required so much strength that if I didn’t have a base I don’t really know what I would have done. – Jaime King

90913. I felt like the dark hair added like a toughness to my face also, which was really important. – Jaime King

90914. I like doing accents and I like learning as much as I can learn. – Jaime King

90916. We worked as a team… I was one of the band. – Jonathan King

90917. Who authorised the spend of millions of pounds and thousands of man hours into a stale, historical situation from three decades ago – with virtually no complaints made? – Jonathan King

90918. Peter remained very quiet and shy, but when he spoke it made sense. – Jonathan King

90919. No, my profile has leaped over recent years, so has my life experience, and I look forward to the next 30 years being even more rewarding and satisfying than the previous 60! – Jonathan King

90920. My greatest reward is knowing for certain, as I do with many other acts and artistes, that without Jonathan King being alive and involved, Genesis would not exist, and the guys would have had careers as intended – as accountants and lawyers! – Jonathan King

90921. It’s not fair that the accused is not protected from adverse publicity whilst the accuser is guaranteed anonymity, whatever the verdict. – Jonathan King

90922. I was sad Jon Ronson, who wrote in the Guardian and has made a TV show for Channel 4, took against me. – Jonathan King

90923. It was only supposed to be on WCW compilation; on that wrestling compilation. And for that I thought it was good. And then we threw it on our record as well. – Kerry King

90924. So, there’s like one luxury you take and since we do that, y’know, you’re involved with people in suits; business people all the time. But hey, if I sit down on a bar and they leave, good for me. – Kerry King

90925. Traditionally the show must go on which is a stupid thing to say, but that in a nutshell is what’s going on. We have a new record out; if we won’t tour, the new record dies. It’s reality – it’s what business is nowadays. You just need to tour to sell your albums. – Kerry King

90926. My strangest media moment a photo session they all had dressed up like 50 gangsters. That was pretty cool. We have to get some more of those kind of photos sometimes. – Kerry King

90927. My first figure was a SLAYER eagle. And the dragons and the tribals are all I have got. – Kerry King

90928. It’s hard ‘coz you have got different time zones; you can’t sleep and y’know, it’s boring way for the show to happen, but you do off the stage. Y’know, onstage it’s all better. – Kerry King

90929. It’s good to be playing one and a half hour again. In the States we played like an hour and when you got onstage it felt like all of a sudden you are already done your set. But now, it feels like we are touring again. – Kerry King

90930. It’s a new perspective where I got a role in and they are just spewed out of my mouth. – Kerry King

90931. Of course we are doing this primarily for ourselves, but I know our fans dig most of it, too. – Kerry King

90932. Even though there’s these songs and whoever the hell put it in the internet, if there’s any good riffs in them, we raped the songs and put in the new ones. – Kerry King

90933. This new one was held for a couple months, so I guess it was better, but when we go into thinking our next record tragedy, it traditionally will probably change the distribution again and it will get held up again. – Kerry King

90934. Check bags are fun. I just make sure there won’t be anything illegal in my check bag which is forbidden at a cabin of a plane. Just leaving things like scissors and such out of my carry-on things in order to avoid troubles with some certain airline, y’know. – Kerry King

90935. I just saw Jensen the other day. They are gonna be in the States at the same time when we are doing the tour, Se we’ll see if we are going to see somewhere. – Kerry King

90936. I play loud onstage for my own benefit as I like. But I’m not too fond of the P.A. either. – Kerry King

90937. I think the church and the religion right now have a lot more to be worried about than SLAYER. – Kerry King

90938. I used the dictionary very minimally and I just wrote how I speak. And I speak very hateful manner usually. I constantly did that because I think the fans would get more out of it if they understood exactly what I’m saying – exactly where I’m coming from. – Kerry King

90939. I write when I have to; I write when the song is done and I deal with the idea and I just go with it and I’ll become what that song is all about until I have finished it. And when you do that, it makes the song more visual, it makes it more personal. – Kerry King

90940. I’m always using a towel around my head. Airports don’t worry about me. – Kerry King

90941. If you don’t tour, you cannot expect to sell a huge numbers of your albums either. It was both a business – and an economical decision and we wanted to play anyway. We just wanted to get out for the tour when it was safe enough for us. – Kerry King

90942. When we play “Angel of Death”, it’s actually a 2 and half minutes sing ’til our party starts. That song is pretty much been played traditionally in the end. – Kerry King

90943. Well, to be honest with you, yes there is and there is not. But as I am a fan of this kind of music as well as the rest of the guys naturally are – and being a fan, we kind of get pleased by our music as fans and as being in SLAYER. – Kerry King

90944. We haven’t played that many of them because all our gear was over here waiting for us when we could get here. So we didn’t get to rehearse any of the new stuff, so we have planned to play 3 or 4 new ones. – Kerry King

90945. When we finally got to play that and we had a great show there, well I can tell it was pretty awesome. Y’know, we probably did bigger festivals since then; we probably headlined bigger festivals since then, but I will always remember that. – Kerry King

90946. You kind of have to become a song so to speak and we wanted to make sure that Tom did them with the best abilities he had and captured all that what the song is all about. – Kerry King

90947. When something irritates me, I don’t go home and write; I just don’t do that. – Kerry King

90948. I have never understood the Iowa caucus. – Larry King

90949. Good writers are in the business of leaving signposts saying, Tour my world, see and feel it through my eyes; I am your guide. – Larry King

90950. Gleason became like a mentor of mine. I had Gleason helping me on television, Godfrey on radio. – Larry King

90951. If they asked me, I did two shifts. I did sports, I did news, because I loved it. – Larry King

90952. I fantasized being a broadcaster. – Larry King

90953. I have lifelong friends. My oldest friend, Herbie, has been a friend since I was 9. I’ve had bonds for over 50 years with people. – Larry King

90954. Communications is the number one major in America today. CNN had 25,000 applicants for five intern jobs this summer. – Larry King

90955. Those who have succeeded at anything and don’t mention luck are kidding themselves. – Larry King

90956. If you do something, expect consequences. – Larry King

90957. It’s joyful to give. But for people who want to take advantage of you, you’re kind of an easy mark. – Larry King

90958. Les Miserables is one of my favorite stories. – Larry King

90959. Getting your house in order and reducing the confusion gives you more control over your life. Personal organization some how releases or frees you to operate more effectively. – Larry King

90960. The names are bigger, the show is worldwide, but I get a royal pass into life in the broadcasting business. – Larry King

90961. I like to put a stake in people, because I know people helped me. – Larry King

90962. When I broke in, in 1957, it was wide open. Now you’re up against strong competition. – Larry King

90963. When I was 5 years old I would lie in bed, look at the radio, and I wanted to be on the radio. I don’t know why. – Larry King

90964. With 500 channels and the Internet available, you’d think a candidate could get the word out. – Larry King

90965. I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I’m going to learn, I must do it by listening. – Larry King

90966. I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I’ve bonded with some people who use you, and some people that take advantage of you. – Larry King

90967. I’m the worst person to be stuck with in a traffic jam. – Larry King

90968. I’m sort of the comic relief after a hard day at work. My message is that it’s OK to relax. – Larry King

90969. I’m having as much fun today as I did when I made $55 a week, because it is as much fun. – Larry King

90970. I worked on the United Parcel Service truck, I sold home delivery of milk. But always, in the back of my mind, I wanted to get into radio. – Larry King

90971. I was always telling everyone, I want to be a broadcaster. They’d say, What, are you crazy? What, you’re going to be Arthur Godfrey? – Larry King

90972. If I do something caring for a friend, I have no doubt in my mind they would do it for me. – Larry King

90973. People would pay money to work at CNN. – Larry King

90974. Government, in the last analysis, is organized opinion. Where there is little or no public opinion, there is likely to be bad government. – Mackenzie King

90975. If some countries have too much history, we have too much geography. – Mackenzie King

90976. The politician’s promises of yesterday are the taxes of today. – Mackenzie King

90977. I see the great continuities in New Zealand history as being decency and common sense and up until now when we’ve confronted these things we’ve been able to talk them through, and I’m sure we will with this issue as well. – Michael King

90978. If you have a little extra parking, I err on the side of getting rid of it in favor of having some more greenery. – Michael King

90979. When I was a child in the 1940s and early 1950s, my parents and grandparents spoke of Britain as home, and New Zealand had this strong sense of identity and coherence as being part of the commonwealth and a the identity of its people as being British. – Michael King

90980. Big media companies have lots of money and content, but they have no way to tap into a good base of users. – Michael King

90981. A huge change has taken place in my lifetime. – Michael King

90982. It’s definitely going to be harder than it sounds to acquire millions of users in the U.S. It’s going to be a lot of work, and you can’t make light of that. – Michael King

90983. We can’t gather the intelligence we need to foil future attacks, if we are blindly granting terrorists the right to remain silent. But for some reason, we’ve already done that – with the terrorist who tried to bring down Flight 253. – Peter King

90984. The department was set up primarily to protect us from another terrorist attack from Islamic terrorists, and yet they talk about everything but that. – Peter King

90985. The Muslims have, as everyone else says, the right to practice their religion and they have the right to construct a mosque at ground zero if they wish. What I am saying, though, is that they should listen to public opinion, they should listen to the deep wounds and anguish that this is causing to so many good people. – Peter King

90986. The party has to be rebuilt on all levels. In a way, maybe it’s to be expected when you’ve had a governor in office for 12 years and he and his people are stepping down. – Peter King

90987. The president’s dream of a worldwide liberal utopia is going to undermine the security of the United States. – Peter King

90990. We are a nation at war – and we should act like it. – Peter King

90991. Just several years ago, Shaykh Kabbani, who is the head of the Islamic Supreme Council of America, when he was speaking at the State Department, said that more than 80 percent of the mosques were controlled by extremists. And from all I’ve seen over the last four or five years, the situation has even gotten worse. – Peter King

90992. We went into Iraq because Saddam Hussein refused to account for his weapons of mass destruction, consistently violated UN resolutions and in a post-9/11 world no American president could afford to give Saddam Hussein the benefit of the doubt. – Peter King

90993. Well, first, the situation in Afghanistan is much better than it was. But there is no comparison between Afghanistan and Iraq. Iraq has a bureaucracy, Iraq has wealth. Iraq has an educated class of people who are positioned to come in and take over. – Peter King

90994. WikiLeaks presents a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States. – Peter King

90995. My legislation would cut off all funding for trials of anyone from Guantanamo in any court in the United States of America. This bill would help stop the misguided plan to put Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other 9/11 terrorists on trial in Downtown Manhattan. – Peter King

90996. There are too many people sympathetic to radical Islam. We should be looking at them more carefully and finding out how we can infiltrate them. – Peter King

90997. I mean, I really don’t want the federal government to be determining whether or not a person who feels certain ways about the environment or about animals or about certain religious issues should be considered an extremist. That to me is a type of thought control, mind control, which is very dangerous. – Peter King

90998. The Democrats in the Senate adopted a resolution, an amendment, saying that there should be no Guantanamo detainees brought into this country. So, more and more, we’re finding the American people on one side, the ACLU and the troglodytes from the New York Times on the other, where they belong. – Peter King

90999. And I think people who sort of glibly say, ‘Well, you know, they’re not going to handle security, UAE is a great ally,’ four and a half years ago, they were not an ally, they were working with the enemy, and if those same people are still there today that were there then, these are real serious issues. – Peter King

91000. And if the imam and the Muslim leadership in that community is so intent on building bridges, then they should voluntarily move the mosque away from ground zero and move it whether it’s uptown or somewhere else, but move it away from that area, the same as the pope directed the Carmelite nuns to move a convent away from Auschwitz. – Peter King
