94266. The problem with our role is Americans live in a world of illusion. – Talib Kweli

94300. After Watergate, America was a ship without a rudder. Vietnam was left to its own devices, drifting along towards its fate. – Nguyen Cao Ky

94301. From its inception, South Vietnam was only considered to be an outpost in the war against communism. – Nguyen Cao Ky

94302. If Americans knew how to deal with other people, they could bring peace to the world. Alas, they have not learned enough yet. The true American feels that he is 100 percent welcome anywhere he goes. – Nguyen Cao Ky

94360. I’m very picky and I’m in a situation where it’s a big crossover. – Shia LaBeouf

94361. I’m not an Adonis, that’s for damn sure. I’ve never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn’t matter to me. My favorite actors aren’t Adonises.

94362. If I have enough money to eat I’m good. – Shia LaBeouf

94363. My family, my parents are hippies. – Shia LaBeouf

94364. My neighborhood was rough, but I live a great life now. I don’t fight that much now. I don’t look for it anyway, but if someone hits your mother, whether you’re a star, an accountant, or an astronaut or anything… I mean it’s your mother, so I lost my mind. – Shia LaBeouf

94365. No, I was an unknown when I walked in that room. He didn’t know who I was from a fly on the wall. – Shia LaBeouf

94366. Now my dad is with me, traveling with me and a big part of this whole thing is I like to mix it up a little bit, you know. Who gets to take their father on a private jet across the country and stay in first class hotels? So we’re enjoying it, but I’d stop if it’s not possible. – Shia LaBeouf

94367. Respected, I almost want to be revered, that’s what I’m chasing. – Shia LaBeouf

94368. So it’s kind of nervous to be in this situation, but at the same time you look at all those actors and the work that they’ve done, I’ve been in bigger films than all of them and still kept my integrity and still kept my respect. – Shia LaBeouf

94369. There’s never been a parent in my life. – Shia LaBeouf

94373. They’re very, uh, you know, I don’t come from the suburbs and a jolly, Disney type of lifestyle. I come from something totally different. And they’re cool and bare minimum so it’s not always a money issue for me. – Shia LaBeouf

94374. I didn’t know my dad for a long time. My dad was on drugs and my dad was at the VA Hospital, my dad was off in his own world selling drugs or using them or there would be crack heads in the house or whatever it would be. – Shia LaBeouf

94375. I want my audience to know me for my work, not because of who I’m dating or what drugs I’m on or what club I went to. – Shia LaBeouf

94376. And I’m not a personality; otherwise I’d be coming out with an album, performing on MTV. All that stuff is possible and I can do that tomorrow. I just have no need. – Shia LaBeouf

94377. And if you’re a golfer and you watch a golf film and Matt Damon swing, and it’s not great, then you’re not going to believe in the golf story, you’re not going to believe in the rest of the film. That’s the whole movie, so if that swing looks like crap, the movie’s crap. – Shia LaBeouf

94378. And yeah, my handicap was down to a 10 when we were at the thick of it. I trained for six or seven months, golfing every day for six hours, seven days a week, with eight trainers. It was intense. – Shia LaBeouf

94379. I’ve been in fights, but that doesn’t make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I’m not proud of it. – Shia LaBeouf

94380. Clubs are so lame. Nobody even dances at these clubs. They stand around and get drunk and they schmooze. There is no enjoyment factor. – Shia LaBeouf

94381. I don’t have to live this lavish lifestyle. – Shia LaBeouf

94382. I don’t know, I just want to be happy. I could be in a hole somewhere. Or I could completely lose it and be some hippy living in the woods with my dad. – Shia LaBeouf

94383. I turned down twelve films last year… Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work. – Shia LaBeouf

94384. But this is a little different. This is the adult acting. This is a different crowd. It’s more work and more good work. That’s it. People will have their opinion regardless. – Shia LaBeouf

94385. I understand why marriages break up over golf. I can’t even talk about my own handicap because it’s too upsetting. – Shia LaBeouf

94386. I hated golf when we first started, but a big part of the training process was falling in love with this sport, so I went on tour with the UCLA Team. – Shia LaBeouf

94387. I turned down a scholarship to Yale. The problem with college is that there’s a tendency to mistake preparation for productivity. You can prepare all you want, but if you never roll the dice you’ll never be successful. – Shia LaBeouf

94388. I trained more than anybody ever in a golf film ever made – my swing is pretty hot. – Shia LaBeouf

94389. I think there’s a form of honesty, because I used to be very honest with the press, and then it backfired on me, and I understood it. – Shia LaBeouf

94390. I think every young actor in Los Angeles went up for that role. It was between Frankie Muniz and me, and he pulled out, so I got the role. – Shia LaBeouf

94391. I just wish the crowd I was associated with was more passionate about what they were doing and less consumed with the commerce of the art form. – Shia LaBeouf

94392. Not all lucid dreams are useful but they all have a sense of wonder about them. If you must sleep through a third of your life, why should you sleep through your dreams, too? – Stephen LaBerge

94393. Dream research is a wonderful field. All you do is sleep for a living. – Stephen LaBerge

94394. But unlike European countries, America has never finished a map of the United States, only the eastern United States is covered and a few spots here and there. – William Labov

94395. Well, American dialects have been studied for a hundred years or so. – William Labov

94396. We focus upon pairs of words very often which are the same in some areas and different in other areas. – William Labov

94397. This African American Vernacular English shares most of its grammar and vocabulary with other dialects of English. But it is distinct in many ways, and it is more different from standard English than any other dialect spoken in continental North America. – William Labov

94398. It appears that the present-day form of African American English is not the inheritance of the period of slavery, but the creation of the second half of the 20th century. – William Labov

94399. And instead of getting a pepper-and-salt effect, we find very clear and sharp divisions between the dialects of the United States, which are getting more different from each other as time goes on. – William Labov

94400. An important aspect of the current situation is the strong social reaction against suggestions that the home language of African American children be used in the first steps of learning to read and write. – William Labov

94401. I am now completing research supported by NSF and NEH that is mapping changes in the English language through all of North America, for both mainstream and minority communities. – William Labov

94402. However, research in the years that followed found that in many of its important features, African American Vernacular English was becoming not less, but more different from other dialects. – William Labov

94403. But for me, it feels like a natural extension of what I’ve been doing: exploring relationships. Here you have two relationships and we can explore how difficult it is for people to be together. – Neil LaBute

94404. First I would probably place men at the bottom of the food chain. On a grander scale, I would say they’re reacting to change. Feminism has got to be part of that. – Neil LaBute

94405. Everyone has a story. – Neil LaBute

94406. Everybody has the ability to be manipulative, to be hateful and deceitful. – Neil LaBute

94407. But even with a character like Cary who is relatively outlandish, at the end of the movie he’s in a place where I wouldn’t have expected him to be – taking on the responsibility of a woman who is pregnant and who used to be his best friend’s wife. – Neil LaBute

94408. And with Aaron, I’d have to find a reason not to work with him. – Neil LaBute

94409. And I’ve got some screenplays and plays ready to dip into when I need to. – Neil LaBute

94410. Everyone has a little bit of Howard and Chad in them. I think there’s Christine in all men as well. – Neil LaBute

94411. You start as an audience member and create a world you’re interested in, and then you move into the telling of those stories, bringing what has interested you as an audience member. – Neil LaBute

94412. Without In The Company of Men, I could still be teaching, so who knows if this would’ve existed. – Neil LaBute

94413. With In the Company of Men, the misogynist label stuck early and firmly. In the end, it probably did hurt the film a bit, because getting women into the theaters was difficult. – Neil LaBute

94414. We live in a disposable society. It’s easier to throw things out than to fix them. We even give it a name – we call it recycling. – Neil LaBute

94415. We humans are a fairly barbarous bunch. – Neil LaBute

94416. Relationships in general make people a bit nervous. It’s about trust. Do I trust you enough to go there? – Neil LaBute

94417. In a relationship you have to open yourself up. – Neil LaBute

94418. People think my work is therapeutic. I don’t see it that way. It’s not like I’m saving money from a weekly therapy visit by writing down my life. – Neil LaBute

94419. People have perhaps gotten to the point where for the most part movies are a just bit of escape. – Neil LaBute

94420. My business is can I create a world that’s possible and could happen? I think that’s the only thing that I have to do, and I think that I have done that each time. – Neil LaBute

94421. My best male friend is my best friend until he crosses me. We’re all protective of the self. – Neil LaBute

94422. Just in the past few years – since I’ve been making movies, which isn’t a very long time – you now have a culture that is fascinated and informed about the box office in a way that sometimes filmmakers weren’t even. – Neil LaBute

94423. There is a lot of absurdity sometimes, not just in Mormonism but often in other religions that want to pretend that no bad happens in their church, rather than taking care of what bad does happen. – Neil LaBute

94424. I think the more the actor lets you know what he thinks of the character, the less the audience cares – like a comedian who laughs at his own jokes. – Neil LaBute

94425. Unrequited love is always a great thing. – Neil LaBute

94426. If we put the camera on ourselves, our friends and neighbors, we’ll come up with some scary stuff. – Neil LaBute

94427. I didn’t choose BYU, I like to think it chose me. – Neil LaBute

94428. I have a healthy view of what one can do with art. – Neil LaBute

94429. I make movies I want to see. – Neil LaBute

94430. I think Christine and Chad are on the opposite extremes of the spectrum. Christine is a model victim, and Chad is a model perpetrator, and Howard is closer to the middle. – Neil LaBute

94431. I wanted to make these people real, not like they were in a painting. Like these are people who don’t know they’re in a period movie. Those concerns are incredibly immediate. – Neil LaBute

94432. I wanted to tell a story that interested me as much in the telling as in the watching. – Neil LaBute

94433. I was always looking for the most dramatic emphasis. – Neil LaBute

94434. I was very careful to cast guys who were very good-looking and very fit and who had a certain sense of privilege about them, because with that sense of privilege comes contempt. – Neil LaBute

94435. I will say that the idea of a woman being deceptive came from that original discussion with critics and reporters about if woman could do that kind of thing. Evelyn, herself, grew out of the discussions about how capable women are of deceit and lying and manipulation. – Neil LaBute

94436. I would be more frightened as a writer if people thought my movies were like science fiction. – Neil LaBute

94437. I’m more than open to hope, but I think men and women have a difficult time dealing with each other and often take the low road. – Neil LaBute

94438. I see bits and pieces of me in all the characters in my films. – Neil LaBute

94439. Writings scatter to the winds blank checks in an insane charge. And were they not such flying leaves, there would be no purloined letters. – Jacques Lacan

94440. The knowledge that there is a part of the psychic functions that are out of conscious reach, we did not need to wait for Freud to know this! – Jacques Lacan

94441. Yet, analytical truth is not as mysterious, or as secret, so as to not allow us to see that people with a talent for directing consciences see truth rise spontaneously. – Jacques Lacan

94442. Since Freud, the center of man is not where we thought it was; one has to go on from there. – Jacques Lacan

94443. The narration, in fact, doubles the drama with a commentary without which no mise en scene would be possible. – Jacques Lacan

94444. We emphasize that such a form of communication is not absent in man, however evanescent a naturally given object may be for him, split as it is in its submission to symbols. – Jacques Lacan

94445. What could be more convincing, moreover, than the gesture of laying one’s cards face up on the table? – Jacques Lacan

94446. Which is why we cannot say of the purloined letter that, like other objects, it must be or not be in a particular place but that unlike them it will be and not be where it is, wherever it goes. – Jacques Lacan

94447. Symptoms, those you believe you recognize, seem to you irrational because you take them in an isolated manner, and you want to interpret them directly. – Jacques Lacan

94448. What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe? – Jacques Lacan

94449. The Mirror Stage as formative in the function of the I as revealed in psychoanalytic experience. – Jacques Lacan

94450. A geometry implies the heterogeneity of locus, namely that there is a locus of the Other. Regarding this locus of the Other, of one sex as Other, as absolute Other, what does the most recent development in topology allow us to posit? – Jacques Lacan

94451. In other words, the man who is born into existence deals first with language; this is a given. He is even caught in it before his birth. – Jacques Lacan

94452. Psychoanalysis is a terribly efficient instrument, and because it is more and more a prestigious instrument, we run the risk of using it with a purpose for which it was not made for, and in this way we may degrade it. – Jacques Lacan

94453. Obsessional does not necessarily mean sexual obsession, not even obsession for this, or for that in particular; to be an obsessional means to find oneself caught in a mechanism, in a trap increasingly demanding and endless. – Jacques Lacan

94454. For the signifier is a unit in its very uniqueness, being by nature symbol only of an absence. – Jacques Lacan

94455. But this emphasis would be lavished in vain, if it served, in your opinion, only to abstract a general type from phenomena whose particularity in our work would remain the essential thing for you, and whose original arrangement could be broken up only artificially. – Jacques Lacan

94456. As is known, it is in the realm of experience inaugurated by psychoanalysis that we may grasp along what imaginary lines the human organism, in the most intimate recesses of its being, manifests its capture in a symbolic dimension. – Jacques Lacan

94457. Aside from that reservation, a fictive tale even has the advantage of manifesting symbolic necessity more purely to the extent that we may believe its conception arbitrary. – Jacques Lacan

94458. A museum show is the acid test for photojournalism. – Richard Lacayo

94459. There’s a lot of reflection that goes on whenever I write a song – it’s been a wild whirlwind last couple of years and there’s a lot to talk about, and hopefully that’s evident in the music. – Nick Lachey

94460. Her success is my success. – Nick Lachey

94461. I always feel stupid giving advice since I’ve been married, what, a year? I can say this: Be in it for the long haul and just know there are going to be rough patches. No two people are the same, there are going to be areas where you just don’t click. – Nick Lachey

94462. I tell her all the time I’d gladly retire and hang out with the kids and clean the house. I want to have a good life and great family, and from a professional standpoint I want to be successful, but it’s not the most important thing at all. – Nick Lachey

94463. I tell people, Don’t take my advice. What do I know? – Nick Lachey

94464. I try to be the best husband I can be, and if people respect that, that’s cool. But there’s no “perfect husband.” We just all try to do the best we can, you know what I mean? – Nick Lachey

94465. It all comes back to the same place, whether she does well, I do well, or we both do well, which is obviously what we’re hoping for. It’s all good. You know? We’re definitely pull for each other. – Nick Lachey

94466. She knows I’m her biggest fan, I cheer for her louder than anybody. – Nick Lachey

94467. We have so much left to experience and learn about each other – it’s almost like we’ve been remarried with the show being over. Now it’s a whole new life for us. – Nick Lachey

94468. There’s no bigger supporter in Jessica’s life than me. – Nick Lachey

94469. This is a great time in our lives and careers. – Nick Lachey

94470. To me, having kids is the ultimate job in life. I want to be most successful at being a good father. – Nick Lachey

94471. We can’t control it, and we’ve basically quit trying. People are going to talk, and people are going to lie. – Nick Lachey

94472. We live in a bizarre world – there are cameras in our house! – Nick Lachey

94473. Marriage is a team effort. Both of us share that philosophy. – Nick Lachey

94474. We’re planning on being married for a long, long time. – Nick Lachey

94475. I try to use all of my senses when describing a setting, and try to think of everything that would impact a character in any given scene. – Mercedes Lackey

94476. If there are going to be people out there making war on other people, don’t you think it’s a good idea for some of those people to at least follow a code of ethics? Not ‘honor’ but something you can pin down and be sure of, something with the same rules for everybody. – Mercedes Lackey

94477. It makes sense for people who are good at fighting to go out and do it-because if they’re good at it, that means the fewest number of other people die. – Mercedes Lackey

94478. Magic, like technology, is a tool. – Mercedes Lackey

94479. These are my friends, my family. It would be hell on earth to spend the rest of my life leading them into situations where some of them are going to get killed… but it would be worse watching someone well-meaning but incompetent or untrained double those deaths. – Mercedes Lackey

94480. I always work from an outline, so I know all the of the broad events and some of the finer details before I begin writing the book. – Mercedes Lackey

94481. In Italy, the Milanese are well organized but follow bourgeois taste. They adhere to certain codes of elegance, but not to individualism. – Christian Lacroix

94482. But the Milanese have made bad choices, bad fashion, and bad jewelry. – Christian Lacroix

94483. Going out in Paris was like going out in the ’30s dressed like the Andrews Sisters. It was everything I’d seen in books at my grandparents’ house, only it was our generation. – Christian Lacroix

94484. I’d experienced the ’40s and ’50s by looking at my grandparents’ old clothes, books, and magazines. – Christian Lacroix

94485. Italy is a divided country without a center. – Christian Lacroix

94486. The idea of seeing everybody clad the same is not really my cup of tea. – Christian Lacroix

94487. The notion of time bothers me. You look at thirty-year-old photographs and realize how the time has passed. – Christian Lacroix

94488. There are days when I’m completely depressed and able to do only one drawing. – Christian Lacroix

94489. There’s always some kind of hidden logic. – Christian Lacroix

94490. They say that the best furniture and clothing design from the ’50s and ’60s is Scandinavian or Milanese. – Christian Lacroix

94491. We all look for lost time. – Christian Lacroix

94492. I translated Beatles songs for my English class. – Christian Lacroix

94493. French design hardly exists, except as artificial modernism. – Christian Lacroix

94494. Nobody is poor unless he stand in need of justice. – Lactantius

94495. But God, who is immortal, has no need of difference of sex, nor of succession. – Lactantius

94496. But God, who is the Eternal Mind, is undoubtedly of excellence, complete and perfect in every part. – Lactantius

94497. But some one will say that this supreme Being, who made all things, and those also who conferred on men particular benefits, are entitled to their respective worship. – Lactantius

94498. Cicero, in his treatise concerning the Nature of the Gods, having said that three Jupiters were enumerated by theologians, adds that the third was of Crete, the son of Saturn, and that his tomb is shown in that island. – Lactantius

94499. For if God is a title of the highest power, He must be incorruptible, perfect, incapable of suffering, and subject to no other being; therefore they are not gods whom necessity compels to obey the one greatest God. – Lactantius

94500. For if the honour paid to Him is shared by others, He altogether ceases to be worshipped, since His religion requires us to believe that He is the one and only God. – Lactantius

94501. For they, the philosophers, were considered teachers of right living, which is far more excellent, since to speak well belongs only to a few, but to live well belongs to all. – Lactantius

94502. Homer was able to give us no information relating to the truth, for he wrote of human rather than divine things. – Lactantius

94503. It is possible that Mount Olympus may have supplied the poets with the hint for saying that Jupiter obtained the kingdom of heaven, because Olympus is the common name both of the mountain and of heaven. – Lactantius

94504. Let us come to the philosophers, whose authority is of greater weight, and their judgment more to be relied on, because they are believed to have paid attention, not to matters of fiction, but to the investigation of the truth. – Lactantius

94505. Memory tempers prosperity, mitigates adversity, controls youth, and delights old age. – Lactantius

94506. Therefore let men withdraw themselves from errors; and laying aside corrupt superstitions, let them acknowledge their Father and Lord, whose excellence cannot be estimated, nor His greatness perceived, nor His beginning comprehended. – Lactantius

94507. Where fear is present, wisdom cannot be. – Lactantius

94508. Mars, when guilty of homicide, and set free from the charge of murder by the Athenians through favour, lest he should appear to be too fierce and savage, committed adultery with Venus. – Lactantius

94509. Therefore, if the gods are immortal and eternal, what need is there of the other sex, when they themselves do not require succession, since they are always about to exist? – Lactantius

94510. The first point of wisdom is to discern that which is false; the second, to know that which is true. – Lactantius

94511. Therefore God is one, if that which admits of so great power can be nothing else: and yet those who deem that there are many gods, say that they have divided their functions among themselves; but we will discuss all these matters at their proper places. – Lactantius

94512. There is no one, who possesses intelligence and uses reflection, who does not understand that it is one Being who both created all things and governs them with the same energy by which He created them. – Lactantius

94513. The prophets, who were very many, proclaim and declare the one God; for, being filled with the inspiration of the one God, they predicted things to come, with agreeing and harmonious voice. – Lactantius

94514. The poets, therefore, however much they adorned the gods in their poems, and amplified their exploits with the highest praises, yet very frequently confess that all things are held together and governed by one spirit or mind. – Lactantius

94515. When their city was occupied by the Gauls, and the Romans, who were besieged in the Capitol, had made military engines from the hair of the women, they dedicated a temple to the Bald Venus. – Lactantius

94516. There is an awful lot of what I call recreational jazz going on, where people go out and learn a particular language or style and become real sharks on somebody else’s language. – Steve Lacy

94517. They call me before they go into production, when they have a prototype, and they call legitimate saxophonists, too. As opposed to the other kind. – Steve Lacy

94518. I’ve always been extremely lucky in playing with great people who knew much more than I did. That’s how I got from there to here. – Steve Lacy

94519. I was spoiled by Monk’s music because it was so good, so complete. – Steve Lacy

94520. I wanted to be a pianist but it just wasn’t my thing. I guess I wanted to stand up rather than sit down. – Steve Lacy

94521. I’ve performed solo for 20 years now, but I don’t do much of it, because if you only play alone, you go crazy and out of tune and play foolish music. – Steve Lacy

94522. I think it is in collaboration that the nature of art is revealed. – Steve Lacy

94523. If you’re trying to invent something new, you’re going to reach a lot of discouraging points, and most people give up. – Steve Lacy

94524. Jazz is like wine. When it is new, it is only for the experts, but when it gets older, everybody wants it. – Steve Lacy

94525. Jazz is people’s music, a collectivity. – Steve Lacy

94526. Kenny G, I have to be grateful to him for proving that the instrument can be played all different kinds of ways. – Steve Lacy

94527. Nobody was playing the soprano saxophone and certainly nobody was trying to do anything with it. So I was all alone. I didn’t know that at first. – Steve Lacy

94528. People don’t want to suffer. They want to sound good immediately, and this is one of the biggest problems in the world. – Steve Lacy

94529. Play difficult and interesting things. If you play boring things, you risk losing your appetite. Saxophone can be tedious with too much of the same. – Steve Lacy

94530. The soprano turned out to sound to me like the right hand on the piano. – Steve Lacy

94531. Risk is at the heart of jazz. Every note we play is a risk. – Steve Lacy

94532. The soprano has all those other instruments in it. It’s got the soprano song voice, flute, violin, clarinet, and tenor elements and can even approach the baritone in intensity. – Steve Lacy

94533. Some people really want to play Mozart and be just performers. I was more interested in invention. – Steve Lacy

94534. The saxophone is a very interesting machine, but I’m more interested in music. – Steve Lacy

94535. The more original something is, the more of a threat it seems until the people catch up with it. That happened with Thelonious Monk. It happened with anybody who is really original. – Steve Lacy

94536. I’ve been working on the soprano saxophone for 40 years, and the possibilities are astounding. It’s up to you, the only limit is the imagination. – Steve Lacy

94537. It starts with a single sound. If there’s something in that sound, then it’s worth continuing. – Steve Lacy

94538. It’s very important to go through periods where you sound just rotten and you know it, and you have to persevere or give up. – Steve Lacy

94539. If you listen to Louis Armstrong from 1929, you will never hear anything better than that really, and you will never hear anything more free than that. – Steve Lacy

94540. You can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others. – Steve Lacy

94541. Whoever has an original thing to say, it is sort of a threat to the status quo. – Steve Lacy

94542. If you have music you want to play that no one asks you to play, you have to go out and find where you can play it. It’s called do or die. – Steve Lacy

94543. When I heard Monk in person in 1955, he was playing with a quartet in a small club. The place was full of musicians, but there was no public at all. – Steve Lacy

94544. When I found the music of Monk I finally found music that fit that horn. Every one of his tunes fit it perfectly. – Steve Lacy

94545. When I first started playing music in 1955, there was just a small body of people that knew it. It was a very esoteric type of thing. – Steve Lacy

94546. When I came up, it was all about originality and collective research. There is an awful lot of imitation going on now. – Steve Lacy

94547. What I learned with Cecil Taylor was strategy and survival and how to resist temptations and resist getting discouraged. – Steve Lacy

94548. I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever. – Steve Lacy

94549. We played for peanuts. But we did what we wanted to do, we heard what we wanted to hear, we performed what we wanted to perform, we learned what we wanted to learn. – Steve Lacy

94550. Register is very important. Music sounds best in a certain register. – Steve Lacy

94551. To me, there is spirit in a reed. It’s a living thing, a weed, really, and it does contain spirit of a sort. It’s really an ancient vibration. – Steve Lacy

94552. The potential for the saxophone is unlimited. – Steve Lacy

94553. I started in New Orleans music and played all through the history of jazz. – Steve Lacy

94554. I heard Sidney Bechet play a Duke Ellington piece and fell in love with the soprano saxophone. – Steve Lacy

94555. I fell in love with jazz when I was 12 years old from listening to Duke Ellington and hearing a lot of jazz in New York on the radio. – Steve Lacy

94556. Circumstances can be very important. Find the right people to work with. – Steve Lacy

94557. Before the work comes to you, you have to invent work. – Steve Lacy

94558. Bamboo is not a weed, it’s a flowering plant. Bamboo is a magnificent plant. – Steve Lacy

94559. Saxophone is one thing, and music is another. – Steve Lacy

94560. You have to sound sad first of all, then maybe later you can sound good. – Steve Lacy

94561. You must have the music to justify an instrument’s extensive use. – Steve Lacy

94562. Just as Jimmy Stewart and Tyrone Power get 50 percent of the profits, so do I. – Alan Ladd

94563. I’m working myself to death. – Alan Ladd

94564. I’ve always had a great respect for the picture business. It’s been good to me. – Alan Ladd

94565. If I had my way, I’d do all my entertaining on the front steps. – Alan Ladd

94566. If you can figure out my success on the screen, you’re a better man than I. – Alan Ladd

94567. It seems only reasonable that the people have a right to know virtually everything about the personality they are buying each time they put their money through the box office. – Alan Ladd

94568. It’s a funny thing about me. I don’t have any interest in food most of the time now, although when I was a kid I was always hungry. – Alan Ladd

94569. It’s natural to want your kids to have all the things you didn’t have. – Alan Ladd

94570. Maybe I can’t act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what’s good for me. – Alan Ladd

94571. Maybe I thought too much about picking up the money and not enough about the really good parts. – Alan Ladd

94572. My parents were so poor when I was a kid, I never went anywhere. I take our youngsters with us because I don’t know anything that teaches them so much. – Alan Ladd

94573. Nobody’s strong enough to stand up under a flood of weak material. – Alan Ladd

94574. Not every father gets a chance to start his son off in his own footsteps. – Alan Ladd

94575. I’m the most insecure guy in Hollywood. If you had it good all your life, you figure it can’t ever get bad, but when you had it bad, you wonder how long a thing like this will last. – Alan Ladd

94576. Strangers still leave me self-conscious. – Alan Ladd

94577. I think any movie star who refuses autographs has a hell of a nerve. – Alan Ladd

94578. Our children were trained to look after each other. – Alan Ladd

94579. Being a good host offsets the deprivation and loneliness of my youth. – Alan Ladd

94580. As long as my pictures go into theaters and we ask people to pay to see what I do on the screen, I should not object if customers want to know what kind of man I am. – Alan Ladd

94581. I don’t care how small the parts are, as long as they’re good. – Alan Ladd

94582. I had only that one picture, Hitler, the Beast of Berlin, in which I had a part big enough to impress anyone. I tried for better roles over and over again. – Alan Ladd

94583. I hear about stars being torn to pieces by fans. It never happened to me and I never saw it happen to anyone else. – Alan Ladd

94584. I just want to make pictures that are entertaining. I’ll leave the scenery chewing to someone else. – Alan Ladd

94585. I know what’s good for me. I can’t play black or gray. I can’t be a villain or anything close to one. I have to play white. – Alan Ladd

94586. I was never trained for anything. – Alan Ladd

94587. I never fail to feel let down when I see myself on the screen. – Alan Ladd

94588. I’m shy and can’t for the life of me barge around and slap people on the back. I sit in a corner by myself and am tickled to death when someone comes over to talk to me. – Alan Ladd

94589. I was a dummy in school. – Alan Ladd

94590. Time scoots along pretty fast when you grow up. – Alan Ladd

94593. I’m going to make it. Nothing is going to stop me. Nothing. I want it too much. – Alan Ladd

94594. I’m no good with words but I’ll find ways from time to time to show you how grateful I am. – Alan Ladd

94595. I learned more about acting from George Stevens in a few months than I had in my entire life up until then. – Alan Ladd

94596. When I was on the air a lot my throat and vocal chords got tired. If you don’t vary your tones you can’t get pretty tired of your own voice. – Alan Ladd

94597. A producer has to know all about everything from set-building to costumes to acting. – Alan Ladd

94598. What good will a tax break do me if I’m crippled for life? – Alan Ladd

94599. Two things I take very seriously in life. My golf game and my relationship with God. Neither one is simple. – Cheryl Ladd

94600. I support any Muslims, whether here or abroad. – Osama bin Laden

94601. I’m fighting so I can die a martyr and go to heaven to meet God. Our fight now is against the Americans. – Osama bin Laden

94602. This resemblance became clear in the Bush the father’s visits to the region. He wound up being impressed by the royal and military regimes and envied them for staying decades in their positions and embezzling the nation’s money with no supervision. – Osama bin Laden

94603. We did not find it difficult to deal with Bush and his administration, because it is similar to regimes in our countries – both types include many who are full of arrogance and greed. – Osama bin Laden

94604. We have repeatedly issued warnings, over a number of years. Following these warnings and these calls, anti-American explosions took place in a number of Islamic countries. – Osama bin Laden

94605. I have sworn to only live free. Even if I find bitter the taste of death, I don’t want to die humiliated or deceived. – Osama bin Laden

94606. Your security is not in the hands of Kerry, Bush or al-Qaida. Your security is in your own hands. – Osama bin Laden

94607. We do not mind establishing a long-term truce between us and you. – Osama bin Laden

94608. We treat them in the same way. Those who kill our women and innocent, we kill their women and innocent, until they refrain. – Osama bin Laden

94609. We love death. The U.S. loves life. That is the difference between us two. – Osama bin Laden

94610. Bush the father did well in placing his sons as governors and did not forget to pass on the expertise in fraud from the leaders of the region to Florida to use it in critical moments. – Osama bin Laden

94611. Even as you enter the fourth year after the Sept. 11 attacks, Bush is still misleading and deluding you and hiding the real reason from you. – Osama bin Laden

94612. The past, though it cannot be relived, can always be repaired. – John LaFarge

94617. The lines of Pearl Art Glass are clean, certainly not cluttered. – James Lafferty

94618. Although we hardly see each other off the set, Joy and I get along well when we do. As far as the marriage between Nathan and Haley, I think they are young and will see the reality of the situation eventually. – James Lafferty

94619. I wouldn’t say that I’m very similar to the character of Nathan at all. Both of us have had very different upbringings and backgrounds. I have a competitive nature like the character of Nathan. That’s really easy to draw from when I’m acting; that’s probably the biggest similarity. – James Lafferty

94620. It has been common knowledge to informed collectors that many times the finest and rarest art glass is found unsigned. – James Lafferty

94621. It is definitely a challenge to play Nathan, but the more different he is from myself, the more interesting the character becomes for me. – James Lafferty

94622. My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy, ever, if you want something, you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft, learn from people who have something to teach. It’s just like anything else, practice makes perfect. – James Lafferty

94623. My New Year’s resolution is to stick to a good workout plan that will keep me healthy and happy. – James Lafferty

94624. People would be shocked to know… that despite the nature of my TV character, I am actually a nice guy. – James Lafferty

94625. I don’t get a whole lot out of the romance thing, but I realize girls do. So I’ll go out of my way to make them feel romanced. – James Lafferty

94626. The cast gets along pretty well, it’s a good work environment. I hang out a lot with Brett Claywell, he plays Tim Smith on the show. We play plenty of basketball. – James Lafferty

94627. I always have the most fun on the Fourth of July. You don’t have to exchange any gifts. You just go to the beach and watch fireworks. It’s always fun. – James Lafferty

94628. The picture alone, without the written word, leaves half the story untold. – James Lafferty

94629. The whole Haley-Nathan marriage deal was a pretty good twist huh? I hope we got all of you with it. That particular story line even suprised me when I read it, it’s a good one and it’ll provide for some good stories to come. – James Lafferty

94630. Tom Hanks has been a huge idol of mine. I’d love to work with someone like him someday. You could learn a lot working with someone like that. – James Lafferty

94631. Visual presentation of our heritage in glass is needed. – James Lafferty

94632. What do I like in a girl? I like a girl that likes me, a girl that knows how to smile and see the bright side of things. A girl that makes me a better person. – James Lafferty

94633. What I remember most about junior homecoming was my date getting sick afterwards. That kinda sucked. Then, senior year, someone got gum in her hair when we were dancing. She had to get one of the chaperones to take her to the office and cut up her hair. I felt really bad for her, but it worked out fine. – James Lafferty

94634. When I’m trying to go to sleep and there are little noises, like a clock ticking or a fan squeaking, it drives me completely insane. – James Lafferty

94635. Students of American glass must always keep in mind that the creations they collect are truly examples of our American culture… and thus have historical significance. – James Lafferty

94636. I enjoy catching our show whenever I can. It does get very weird to watch myself, it’s always been that way, but at the same time, it’s part of my job to see what kind of job I’m doing and to get a perspective on where I’m taking the character. – James Lafferty

94637. It’s nice to go to small places where we had a lot of fans. They followed our career and it’s kind of a way to say thank you to them and do it for a good cause. – Guy Lafleur

94638. It’s nice to see the young ones 7, 8, 9 years old. It seems like they know you through their parents. – Guy Lafleur

94639. Play every game as if it is your last one. – Guy Lafleur

94640. That’s why I made a comeback in 1988. I knew there were chances of not making it, but I didn’t want to end up at sixty years old and say I should have tried when I was thirty-eight. – Guy Lafleur

94641. The crowd doesn’t give a crap as long as you bring the money in. – Guy Lafleur

94642. The players wanted more money, higher salary caps and they didn’t have that family relationship we felt with the players. Mentally, the players were more businesslike. – Guy Lafleur

94643. I would compare that to when I first started with the Montreal Canadiens; it was a big family then, where the guys really stuck together and worked like a unit. But when I came back in ’88, it was not like that anymore. – Guy Lafleur

94644. A lot of the players are not involved with any NHL team, so to play and travel around with the Oldtimers’ it’s a kind of gift that the players really appreciate. – Guy Lafleur

94645. The day you hear someone call me captain will be the day I buy a boat. – Guy Lafleur

94646. After 13 years, I couldn’t accept to be number two. – Guy Lafleur

94647. Anyway, I’ve never been captain in 16 years in the NHL. But that didn’t stop me being a leader in my own way. – Guy Lafleur

94648. Go ahead, work hard and never be afraid to try something. Even if you don’t make it, at least you can say you tried. – Guy Lafleur

94649. I realized that my family was more important to me than downtown night life. – Guy Lafleur

94650. I think it was always there and it was maybe a matter of bringing it out. It was harder than I thought it would be and I had to try harder. I had to regain my confidence, maybe the most important thing. I have learned a lot to relax. I know what I can do now, and I do it. – Guy Lafleur

94651. I was working on the farm to get in shape, about a mile away from my parents. You know, I did everything as a kid to stay in shape – jogging, work on the farm, driving the tractor. I’ll never forget. – Guy Lafleur

94652. When trouble comes, it’s your family that supports you. – Guy Lafleur

94653. Well, it’s always nice to know the fans didn’t forget what you did when you played in the NHL. – Guy Lafleur

94654. Most people, no doubt, when they espouse human rights, make their own mental reservations about the proper application of the word human. – Suzanne Lafollette

94655. When I left, I had learnt nothing. I took nothing with me. At least, that’s what I thought then. – Carmen Laforet

94660. What a day-to-day affair life is. – Jules Laforgue

94661. If somebody has a chance to put my food in their mouth, that tells the story. – Emeril Lagasse

94662. I respected it. I submerged myself into it. So on a lot of days off I would go and fish with the fishermen and the families that ran the boats. I would go work the fields with farmers. I would go and talk with farmers about growing particular products for me. – Emeril Lagasse

94663. I spent a lot of time on farms when I was young. My uncle and my dad owned a big farm. – Emeril Lagasse

94664. I started cooking when I was about 10. I have memories like when I was 6 or 7 with my mom, and when I was 12 I started getting real serious about cooking. – Emeril Lagasse

94665. I’m not a TV guy. I’m a restaurant chef and a businessman. – Emeril Lagasse

94666. I’ve always done food that can work in a set time frame. The message I’m trying to get across is, it doesn’t have to take three days to do this. With planning, you can do a lot and really have quality food every day. – Emeril Lagasse

94667. I guess I feel that I was following my instincts, and at the same time being guided by the best. I became totally intrigued with Louisiana – the people, the food. It is a part of my life. Everything that has happened for me since moving here has just been icing on the cake. – Emeril Lagasse

94668. I grew up in Fall River, Massachusetts. My background was modest, and I worked at a Portuguese bakery in town. – Emeril Lagasse

94669. Home base is the support system where we have a culinary team, my own writers because of the shows and the books and stuff, we have a culinary team of about six people. Marketing, public relations, accounting and all that sort of stuff. – Emeril Lagasse

94670. I had these recipes that say do this, do that. Who MAKES these rules? – Emeril Lagasse

94671. I ended up turning down a full scholarship of music at the conservatory to pay to go to cooking school. – Emeril Lagasse

94672. I came here because the city has a tradition and is a very respected food city. – Emeril Lagasse

94673. I don’t limit myself. – Emeril Lagasse

94674. Growing up in New England, being schooled and classically trained, it needed to shake, it needed to evolve. – Emeril Lagasse

94675. I’m working harder than ever now, and I’m putting on my pants the same as I always have. I just get up every day and try to do a little better than the day before, and that is to run a great restaurant with great food, great wine, and great service. That’s my philosophy. – Emeril Lagasse

94676. My family… always had the value of the family table and these cultural influences of growing up. – Emeril Lagasse

94677. You know, for 300 years it’s been kind of the same. There are restaurants in New Orleans that the menu hasn’t changed in 125 years, so how is one going to change or evolve the food? – Emeril Lagasse

94678. When it ceases to be fun, I’ll stop and just stay in my restaurants. – Emeril Lagasse

94679. We’re a new show. We can’t afford instant replay. – Emeril Lagasse

94680. We began building this incredible new foundation in this restaurant, and that’s what began giving me the left-hand side of tradition and the right-hand side, my new palate. – Emeril Lagasse

94681. Those other 10 o’clock shows that come on, all you get from them is headaches and nightmares when you go to bed! At least we give you food, know what I mean? – Emeril Lagasse

94682. My philosophy from day one is that I can sleep better at night if I can improve an individual’s knowledge about food and wine, and do it on a daily basis. – Emeril Lagasse

94683. Music is one of those things that is constantly going in my head all the time. It’s sort of like the evolution and creation of doing food, or my philosophy about wine. It’s always beating in my head, so it keeps the spirit moving. – Emeril Lagasse

94684. Mom ran the house, so we grew up Portuguese. – Emeril Lagasse

94685. Life just doesn’t hand you things. You have to get out there and make things happen. that’s the exciting part. – Emeril Lagasse

94686. In the restaurant it’s much more serious. – Emeril Lagasse

94687. If you don’t follow your dream, who will? – Emeril Lagasse

94688. The world has changed, and it’s almost been 11 years. I have 975 employees. I have six restaurants. We haven’t opened any new ones in almost three years. – Emeril Lagasse

94689. Yes, some people say to me you’re too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that. – Karl Lagerfeld

94690. Yes, and I can sit down on a white piece of paper and work because I don’t believe too much into inspiration, only I’m waiting for inspiration, work and then inspiration may come. It’s a little too easy to say that. – Karl Lagerfeld

94691. The iPod completely changed the way people approach music. – Karl Lagerfeld

94692. Some people would like me to be round again. – Karl Lagerfeld

94693. Stupidly it should not be. It should be also nice. One must get along with that. Is however not necessary. – Karl Lagerfeld

94694. I eat fish, three times a week meat, and if not yogurt, something like this and it rarely continues. – Karl Lagerfeld

94695. I never – you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age, it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped. – Karl Lagerfeld

94696. Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time. – Karl Lagerfeld

94697. But if I have a lot of imagination, I could tell myself whatever I wanted, you know. I handle myself quite well. I’m kind of fascist with myself, you know. There’s no discussion. There is an order. You follow it. – Karl Lagerfeld

94698. I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18, so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first. – Karl Lagerfeld

94699. I have now exactly the same weight I had when I was 18, 20. – Karl Lagerfeld

94700. I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I’m not interested in. So, as far as I’m concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don’t know. When I know, I don’t care because I knew how it was. – Karl Lagerfeld

94701. My favorite kitchen was the Japanese and the Italian kitchen. – Karl Lagerfeld

94702. Because I stopped dieting already six months ago, and I think it’s important to bring out a book like this and you are there a year later and say look, I’m still like this. – Karl Lagerfeld

94703. Oh yes, I love to do shoes. I’m not a fetishist but I love to do shoes. – Karl Lagerfeld

94704. No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don’t think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There’s TV. There’s a lot of things. – Karl Lagerfeld

94705. I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot. – Karl Lagerfeld

94706. No, and I never, ever eat in between the meals. I control it well enough and with no pills, and I sleep seven hours a night. I go to bed. I fall asleep, and I wake up seven hours later, and this is the most important. – Karl Lagerfeld

94707. It’s only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I’m skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I’m big, when I was big, I never thought about it. – Karl Lagerfeld

94708. If there’s something dangerous, sauces are dangerous for the body. – Karl Lagerfeld

94709. I’m not a marketing person. I don’t ask myself questions. I go by instinct. – Karl Lagerfeld

94710. I wanted to become a cartoon artist, a portrait artist, and an illustrator. This was my first idea. – Karl Lagerfeld

94711. I never smoked. I never drank and I never took drugs. The funny thing is, nothing is more boring, people like this. For me, it’s OK. But most of my friends, at least they smoke and drink. – Karl Lagerfeld

94712. No, I’m not a French designer either. I’m from nowhere. I’m a European, old European is all I am. – Karl Lagerfeld

94713. Poverty is the frontier we have to be able to cross. – Ricardo Lagos

94714. We have obligations towards the innocent, the dead, towards the living, towards our children and their children. – Ricardo Lagos

94715. We fully support the strikes against terrorist targets, not against the country, not against the culture, not against a religion, but against an enemy of them all. – Ricardo Lagos

94716. We Chileans have to be able to understand that in a democracy institutions must function freely and with sovereignty. – Ricardo Lagos

94717. We need to be more careful, but more compassionate. We must strike, not deal with terrorists, but to broaden our understanding of the world outside our borders. – Ricardo Lagos

94718. There is no reason to have problems between country and country, between government and government, when there is a separation of powers. – Ricardo Lagos

94719. My obligation as president, and what I promise the country, is that the courts will be able to do their job free of all pressure. – Ricardo Lagos

94720. Let’s not interfere with justice… Let’s let justice speak. – Ricardo Lagos

94721. It’s important to see how we can advance in healing wounds. – Ricardo Lagos

94722. Clearly it is better that, when someone is wanted by the international police, and this person travels, and a country knows about it, that country reports the fact. – Ricardo Lagos

94723. This is not the Chile we want to build. – Ricardo Lagos

94724. There is no Democratic or Republican way of cleaning the streets. – Fiorello LaGuardia

94725. It makes no difference if I burn my bridges behind me – I never retreat. – Fiorello LaGuardia

94726. Yes, I think that when the Bible refers to a horse or a horseman, that’s exactly what it means. – Tim LaHaye

94727. There were times I didn’t think we would ever make it, even when we were cranking two out a year. – Tim LaHaye

94728. The book of Revelation says that we no longer need the sun or the moon, for Christ is the light of the world. – Tim LaHaye

94729. The curse of Adam and Eve that fell upon the earth because of their sin will be lifted when Christ returns. – Tim LaHaye

94730. The tribulation period is seven years, and when the signing of the covenant occurs, people who know the Bible and take it literally will know that, seven years later, Christ is going to come in His power and glory. – Tim LaHaye

94731. The unsaved people will be cast into utter darkness forever. – Tim LaHaye

94732. There are the saints who were raptured at the beginning of the tribulation period – those are the Christians. – Tim LaHaye

94734. What Jerry has done, in a masterful way, is go through and select portions of the Scripture and put words in Jesus’ mouth that are legitimate because they already appear in the Bible. – Tim LaHaye

94735. When I gave my life to the Lord, I thought I’d be a preacher. – Tim LaHaye

94736. New fiction writers are a special breed in my estimation, and I never dreamed that so many people would be interested, but I remember being led by God. – Tim LaHaye

94737. Yeah, I have been because, generally speaking, to we Biblical literalists, the media is very hostile. – Tim LaHaye

94738. Jerry and I hoped that it would be a popular bestseller. – Tim LaHaye

94739. Yes, in fact, it’s hard to believe this, but it was almost 18 years ago when I first got the idea. – Tim LaHaye

94740. You have to take Bible prophecy literally, just like everything else in the Bible. – Tim LaHaye

94741. When you allegorize, you’re gonna get everybody saved somehow. – Tim LaHaye

94742. But the Jews will also be believers, so you can say that all the saints, both gentiles and Jews, will go into the millennial kingdom and populate the earth. – Tim LaHaye

94743. About 40 years ago I had an experience where I wrote a tract. – Tim LaHaye

94744. After I’d preached a message on Sunday night, I’d print it up. – Tim LaHaye

94745. All people, even secular people, are seeing books on the market like The End of History. – Tim LaHaye

94746. One of the comments that we’ve heard that has really blessed us is people have been driven back to the book of Revelation to prove us wrong only to find that what we said was there. – Tim LaHaye

94747. And then I met Jerry and he’s such a creative fiction writer, and I don’t know if there’s ever been a team put together the way we are – where one person does the theological way out and suggestions, and the other person goes into the cave and does the fiction writing. – Tim LaHaye

94748. It’s the lie of evolution that all man are just evolved and that they’re all equal, and that all creatures are equal. – Tim LaHaye

94749. But then one day the Lord put us together through our agent and it’s been a wonderful match. – Tim LaHaye

94750. But when you take the Bible literally, for what it says, you have to come back to the fact that there is only one way of salvation; there’s only one Savior. – Tim LaHaye

94751. I came to the conclusion that I am not a fiction writer. – Tim LaHaye

94752. I think it’s Jerry’s masterful fiction writing. – Tim LaHaye

94757. It’s going to be used in the last days to get people to come against Christ, and that’s the issue: they come against the Lord Jesus Christ. And in this new book, we show Christ coming to settle that big issue. – Tim LaHaye

94758. I think God has chosen to use this as a tool. – Tim LaHaye

94759. And part of my vision is to do dynamic videos for kids. – Tim LaHaye

94760. Winning the Pulitzer is wonderful and it’s an honor and I feel so humbled and so grateful, but I think that I’ll think of it very much as the final sort of final moment for this book and put it behind me along with the rest of the book, as I write more books. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94761. On the screen I saw tanks rolling through dusty streets, and fallen buildings, and forests of unfamiliar trees into which East Pakistani refugees had fled, seeking safety over the Indian border. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94762. Relationships do not preclude issues of morality. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94763. Some Indians will come up and say that a story reminded them of something very specific to their experience. Which may or may not be the case for non-Indians. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94764. You know, since the reviews have come out and people have reacted to it, I’ve realized that is in a sense what has happened. But as I was writing them, I didn’t feel a part of any tradition. I think that would have been too overwhelming, in a sense. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94765. The reactions haven’t differed; the concerns have been different. When I read for a predominantly Indian audience, there are more questions that are based on issues of identity and representation. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94766. He told me he was working as an interpreter in a doctor’s office in Brookline, Massachusetts, where I was living at the time, and he was translating for a doctor who had a number of Russian patients. On my way home, after running into him, I just heard this phrase in my head. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94767. When I sit down to write, I don’t think about writing about an idea or a given message. I just try to write a story which is hard enough. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94768. It’s easy to set a story anywhere if you get a good guidebook and get some basic street names, and some descriptions, but, for me, yes, I am indebted to my travels to India for several of the stories. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94769. This story is based on a gentleman who indeed did… used to come to my parents’ house in 1971 from Bangladesh. He was at the University of Rhode Island. And I was four, four years old, at the time, and so I actually don’t have any memories of this gentleman. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94770. I’ve seen novels that have grown out of one story in a collection. But it hasn’t occurred to me to take any of those stories and build on them. They seem very finished for me, so I don’t feel like going back and dredging them up. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94771. I’ve never had Internet access. Actually, I have looked at things on other people’s computers as a bystander. A few times in my life I’ve opened email accounts, twice actually, but it’s something I don’t want in my life right now. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94772. I’ve inherited a sense of that loss from my parents because it was so palpable all the time while I was growing up, the sense of what my parents had sacrificed in moving to the United States, and yet at the same time, building a life here and all that that entailed. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94773. I can’t tell you exactly how I found it. It was just a process of writing a lot of stories and reading a lot of stories that I admired and just working and working until the sentences sounded right and I was satisfied with them. – Jhumpa Lahiri

94797. I would take up any small job on the sets, just so that I could hang around with the hope of getting noticed. – Christine Lahti

94798. I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn’t want money. I didn’t care about fame. – Christine Lahti

94799. I think all industries are sexist in nature and I don’t think the film industry is any different. – Christine Lahti

94816. It’s not tough at all as long as the fans are yelling, screaming and hollering. – Bill Laimbeer

94818. I played in Joe Louis in a playoff game. I played there when the roof caved in for half a season. The facility is great for basketball because it goes straight up, so you feel like the fans are on top of you. – Bill Laimbeer

94819. We came in today with a chip on our shoulder to prove who we are. – Bill Laimbeer

94822. We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing. – R. D. Laing

94823. We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love. – R. D. Laing

94824. We are all murderers and prostitutes – no matter to what culture, society, class, nation one belongs, no matter how normal, moral, or mature, one takes oneself to be. – R. D. Laing

94825. We are all in a post-hypnotic trance induced in early infancy. – R. D. Laing

94827. There is no such condition as ‘schizophrenia,’ but the label is a social fact and the social fact a political event. – R. D. Laing

94829. Schizophrenia cannot be understood without understanding despair. – R. D. Laing

94841. Einstein’s results again turned the tables and now very few philosophers or scientists still think that scientific knowledge is, or can be, proven knowledge. – Imre Lakatos

94842. If even in science there is no a way of judging a theory but by assessing the number, faith and vocal energy of its supporters, then this must be even more so in the social sciences: truth lies in power. – Imre Lakatos

94843. Indeed, this epistemological theory of the relation between theory and experiment differs sharply from the epistemological theory of naive falsificationism. – Imre Lakatos

94844. It would be wrong to assume that one must stay with a research programme until it has exhausted all its heuristic power, that one must not introduce a rival programme before everybody agrees that the point of degeneration has probably been reached. – Imre Lakatos

94845. The positive heuristic of the programme saves the scientist from becoming confused by the ocean of anomalies. – Imre Lakatos

94846. Our empirical criterion for a series of theories is that it should produce new facts. The idea of growth and the concept of empirical character are soldered into one. – Imre Lakatos

94863. I just got a call one day from Ringo asking me if I wanted to go out on the tour. It was as simple as that. He was putting together this band and he heard of me in the context of doing this and he gave me a call. I jumped at the chance. – Greg Lake

94864. I would like to involve myself in some black music. I would like to do some blues and some gospel music. I want to try stuff from other genres and try to widen my musical base. – Greg Lake

94865. Making a comeback is one of the most difficult things to do with dignity. – Greg Lake

94866. Philosophically, what I have learned is to thy own self be true. That is the biggest lesson of all. Relax; music is fun. To many people take it to seriously because of the money involved. – Greg Lake

94868. I wasn’t a sex symbol, I was a sex zombie. – Veronica Lake

94877. You can’t get rid of it with exercise alone. You can do the most vigorous exercise and only burn up 300 calories in an hour. If you’ve got fat on your body, the exercise firms and tones the muscles. But when you use that tape measure, what makes it bigger? It’s the fat! – Jack LaLanne

94878. Yes, exercise is the catalyst. That’s what makes everything happen: your digestion, your elimination, your sex life, your skin, hair, everything about you depends on circulation. And how do you increase circulation? – Jack LaLanne

94879. What you need to do is get that tape measure out, and start measuring that gut. Then you start working out and you start eating properly till that gut gets down close to it was when you were in your 20’s. Then you’ll find out what your weight should be. – Jack LaLanne

94880. They thought that athletes that worked out with my system wouldn’t be able to throw a ball because they’d be too muscle bound. Those are the misconceptions I had to go through for about 40 years. – Jack LaLanne

94881. So many older people, they just sit around all day long and they don’t get any exercise. Their muscles atrophy, and they lose their strength, their energy and vitality by inactivity. – Jack LaLanne

94882. Remember this: your body is your slave; it works for you. – Jack LaLanne

94883. Probably millions of Americans got up this morning with a cup of coffee, a cigarette and a donut. No wonder they are sick and fouled up. – Jack LaLanne

94884. Focus on your problem zones, your strength, your energy, your flexibility and all the rest. Maybe your chest is flabby or your hips or waist need toning. Also, you should change your program every thirty days. That’s the key. – Jack LaLanne

94885. We don’t know all the answers. If we knew all the answers we’d be bored, wouldn’t we? We keep looking, searching, trying to get more knowledge. – Jack LaLanne

94886. Do you know how many calories are in butter and cheese and ice cream? Would you get your dog up in the morning for a cup of coffee and a donut? – Jack LaLanne

94887. Look at the average American diet: ice cream, butter, cheese, whole milk, all this fat. People don’t realize how much of this stuff you get by the end of the day. High blood pressure is from all this high-fat eating. – Jack LaLanne

94888. I do it as a therapy. I do it as something to keep me alive. We all need a little discipline. Exercise is my discipline. – Jack LaLanne

94889. I have spoken to a whole group of millionaires, head executives at Microsoft. Boy did I chew those guys out. – Jack LaLanne

94890. I only eat fish – no chicken, no turkey, just fish. I get all my protein from fish and egg whites. – Jack LaLanne

94891. I’d rather see you drink a glass of wine than a glass of milk. So many people drink Coca-Cola and all these soft drinks with sugar. Some of these drinks have 8 or 9 teaspoons of sugar in them What’s the good of living if you can’t have the things that give a little enjoyment? – Jack LaLanne

94892. If you’ve got a big gut and you start doing sit-ups, you are going to get bigger because you build up the muscle. You’ve got to get rid of that fat! How do you get rid of fat? By changing your diet. – Jack LaLanne

94893. By exercise. I’ll tell you one thing, you don’t always have to be on the go. I sit around a lot, I read a lot, and I do watch television. But I also work out for two hours every day of my life, even when I’m on the road. – Jack LaLanne

94894. Originally the dream was about traveling and developing a job that would permit me to travel. And I decided to go into street performing because it was a traveling job; it would let me go around the world. – Guy Laliberte

94895. I believe there are so many other disciplines and themes that we still haven’t explored yet. It’s infinite what we can apply our creativity to. – Guy Laliberte

94896. We had every problems starting a big top could have. The tent fell down on the first day. We had problems getting people into the shows. It was only with the courage and arrogance of youth that we survived. – Guy Laliberte

94897. We didn’t reinvent the circus. We repackaged it in a much more modern way. – Guy Laliberte

94898. We are in a position of financial and social power, and we could be agents of change in our society. Without pretension, I believe we could be a nice little gardener who takes care of the garden, and hopefully our neighbor will do the same. Then, maybe we’ll achieve a better world. – Guy Laliberte

94899. We are each but a quarter note in a grand symphony. – Guy Laliberte

94902. Our approach was very simple. It was about creating a universal language. A show that will be attractive toward every people coming from all over the world. And that was a big thing. – Guy Laliberte

94903. We’re not afraid of risking what was our success yesterday in order to explore some new field. We’re adventurous. We like the challenge of unknown territory, unknown artistic field, and that’s what stimulates us. – Guy Laliberte

94904. I believe in nurturing creativity and offering a haven for creators, enabling them to develop their ideas to the fullest. With more and more talented creators being drawn to Cirque in an environment that fulfills them, these are ideal to continue developing great new shows. – Guy Laliberte

94905. I have seen many successful people fail after they start fearing they might lose what they have built. – Guy Laliberte

94906. Inside every adult there’s still a child that lingers. We’re happiness merchants – giving people the opportunity to dream like children. – Guy Laliberte

94907. I am blessed for what I have, but I believed in it from the beginning. Today, the dream is the same: I still want to travel, I still want to entertain, and I most certainly still want to have fun. – Guy Laliberte

94908. I believe that the profits will come from the quality of your creative products. Since the beginning, I’ve always wanted to develop a self-feeding circle of creative productions: the positive financial returns from one show would be used to develop and create a new show, and so on. – Guy Laliberte

94909. I don’t believe in pitfalls. I believe in taking risks and not doing the same thing twice. – Guy Laliberte

94911. In life I’ve learned one thing; if you want to be good you have to connect with the best people. So I got very close to the high-stakes players here. I get to watch them and play with them a little bit. – Guy Laliberte

94912. Business is difficult. But it could be approached two ways: Seriously, or with the same way you’re doing your job, with entertainment aspect, with pleasure, with fun. And we decided to try to make it as fun that we do our creativity. – Guy Laliberte

94965. My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles. – Hedy Lamarr

94972. I am a very good shot. I have hunted for every kind of animal. But I would never kill an animal during mating season. – Hedy Lamarr

94973. I advise everybody not to save: spend your money. Most people save all their lives and leave it to somebody else. Money is to be enjoyed. – Hedy Lamarr

94974. Dirt makes a man look masculine. Let your hair blow in the wind, and all that. It’s OK. All you have to do is look neat when you have to look neat. – Hedy Lamarr

94975. Confidence is something you’re born with. I know I had loads of it even at the age of 15. – Hedy Lamarr

94978. Any girl can look glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid. – Hedy Lamarr

94980. Analysis gave me great freedom of emotions and fantastic confidence. I felt I had served my time as a puppet. – Hedy Lamarr

94982. All my six husbands married me for different reasons. – Hedy Lamarr

94983. All creative people want to do the unexpected. – Hedy Lamarr

94984. All a woman needs is a good bath, clean clothes, and for her hair to be combed. These things she can do herself. I very seldom go to the hairdresser, but when I do, I just marvel. – Hedy Lamarr

94986. Because you don’t live near a bakery doesn’t mean you have to go without cheesecake. – Hedy Lamarr

94987. I have always felt that if a man gives you a solid gold key to his door he is entitled to the courtesy of a visit. – Hedy Lamarr

94988. I must quit marrying men who feel inferior to me. Somewhere there must be a man who could be my husband and not feel inferior. – Hedy Lamarr

94989. I know why most people never get rich. They put the money ahead of the job. If you just think of the job, the money will automatically follow. This never fails. – Hedy Lamarr

94990. I know when I’m working I seldom get into trouble. My educated guess is that boredom has caused most of the problems with Hollywood celebrities. – Hedy Lamarr

94991. Dates with actors, finally, just seemed to me evenings of shop talk. I got sick of it after a hile. So the more famous I became, the more I narrowed down my choices. – Hedy Lamarr

94992. I have never seen a wrestling match or a prize fight, and I don’t want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports, I drop him. – Hedy Lamarr

94993. I appreciate subtlety. I have never enjoyed a kiss in front of the camera. There’s nothing to it except not getting your lipstick smeared. – Hedy Lamarr

94994. I’ve been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only hve three close friends. I guess that’s all anyone can expect. – Hedy Lamarr

94995. I find very often that very ugly women have really handsome men and vice versa because they don’t have any competition. Sometimes handsome men have avoided me. – Hedy Lamarr

94998. I don’t have any gnawing guilt over contributing to any unhappiness suffered by my husbands. They were as much to blame as I was. – Hedy Lamarr

94999. I don’t fear death because I don’t fear anything I don’t understand. When I start to think about it, I order a massage and it goes away. – Hedy Lamarr

95000. I don’t believe in life after death. But I do believe in some grinding destiny that watches over us on earth. If I didn’t, the safety valve would give and the boiler would explode. – Hedy Lamarr
