Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The airplane has unveiled for us the true face of the earth.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Using an artful tool does not make one a dry technician. It seems to me that people that are anxious about our technical advancement, confuse means and ends. Naturally a person that only works for material gain will not harvest something that is worth living for. But the machine is not an end in itself. The airplane is not an end. It is a tool. Just like the plough.

S. Walker

Man, I was wanting to hug Brother Billy when I saw that ice.

James Shuler

That was one thing that went into the whole recruiting process with Billy Houston and I coming in. He's had great success like a lot of other coaches, and whatever God has planned for Coach Marshall, that's what's going to happen in the end. It's definitely been a hot topic every year after the season.

Caron Butler

I think that was real big. I was bleeding and they wiped me up real quick and stopped the bleeding for about eight seconds and I was able to get my free throws. I went back (for stitches) and Billy just came in and played great basketball. He picked it up where I left off.

Billy Connolly

I think that you'll find that Billy Connolly is British.

Keith Ginter

I would think (general manager Billy Beane) doesn't want to pay someone $1 million to play at Triple-A, but my wife and I talked for about two days about it and we couldn't leave that money on the table. I have to provide for my family. The way I view it, it puts pressure on them -- if they don't want to pay me $1 million, maybe they can pick up part of it and move me somewhere else.

Jonathan Kozol

Our political establishment refuses to use the word 'segregated.' They call the schools diverse, which means half black, half Hispanic, and maybe two white kids and three Asians. 'Diverse' has become a synonym for 'segregated.'

Jennifer Beals

Originally, I got a phone call from Campbell Scott saying that he was doing this movie and that there was this part that he wanted me to play in it.

Mike Flanagan

Pattern modeling is very useful and a major step, but users don't always conform to those patterns. For example, when there is a specific event like a traffic jam or a big rugby game there is a big spike in mobile phone calls in a concentrated area. Traditional network design can't cope with those changes in network usage very well.

Dave Schultz

Pat has kind of worked his way into some minutes because he's relentless. We call him a kamikaze because he's fearless out there, so Grinnell's style fit him perfectly.

Our record in finals is an issue we're trying to forget about and tomorrow is a new start,

Lee Hamilton

Our recommendations are good, and they're urgent, ... they are not intended to be a final solution and they need to be deliberated.

Mike Woodson

Our locker room is very excited. I think any time you play this team (Boston), they're well-coached. They've got a lot of offensive weapons. For us to come in and play a solid game, and finally finish a game, (is satisfying) because we've been playing pretty well as of late.

Tom Buffenbarger

Greg was the idol for young Australians, just like Jack Nicklaus was to me and my American generation.

We're not encouraging idols other than on the TV show, you know and that's the wrong way to do it. If we had become famous from a contest show we'd be embarrassed in my generation. But if that's the benchmark then I thought well young people who want to be filmmakers, or musicians, or whatever are screwed. But maybe they're not because what they're doing is they're creating their own thing.

Kevin Corrigan

Tom Parsons

People might have to stand by for one or two flights, but inconvenience to passengers should be minimal.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Sitting in the flickering light of the candles on this kerchief of sand, on this village square, we waited in the night. We were waiting for the rescuing dawn - or for the Moors. Something, I know not what, lent this night a savor of Christmas. We told stories, we joked, we sang songs. In the air there was that slight fever that reigns over a gaily prepared feast. And yet we were infinitely poor. Wind, sand, and stars. The austerity of Trappists. But on this badly lighted cloth, a handful of men who possessed nothing in the world but their memories were sharing invisible riches.

Beck

There's an infinite amount of possibilities and detours and things that can distract you from actually just performing the song and having whatever emotion that's invested into the song come through in the recording.

Beck

I know my own limitations. And if somebody says, "I need songs for a cartoon garage band - they look like this and they should sound like this," it gives you a direction. I like having that kind of assignment.

Beck

There are certain records that you love because the songs are great, but you don't go to them as an example of great production.

Beck

Back then, Pro Tools only had four or eight tracks, so we couldn't actually hear all the tracks. We could only hear eight at a time, so if a song had 25 or 30 tracks, we wouldn't be able to hear it until we went into the studio an put it all on tape. The process was a little bit backwards.

Beck

There's more well-known artists who aren't making as good songs as people who are just coming out of nowhere. That seems to be more typical in the last few years than ever.

Beck

I don't remember half of the new bands, though - and I think that's kind of where we're going. It's turning into just a big derby of songs. May the best song win.

Rory McCann

Judge Roberts is a brilliant lawyer, a brilliant judge. He is a very careful judge, a thoughtful judge. I would agree with what the President said earlier. He is a decent man. I think everybody who knows him likes him.

Blaise Pascal

Man is clearly made to think. It is his whole dignity and his whole merit; and his whole duty is to think as he ought. And the order of thought is to begin with ourselves, and with our Author and our end.

Blaise Pascal

Eloquence is a painting of thought; and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.

C. S. Lewis

The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.

Carson Kressley
