Famous Quotes & Sayings

Richard Rogers

I believe very much in a dialogue between buildings - I believe it's always been there. I think buildings have different identities and live very well next to each other.

I'm introverted, and I pay attention to my muse... Record companies used to go mad and say 'We don't know the deal with you. You have no continuity at all.

L. R. H. in Clearing Procedure, 1957:"The work was free. Keep it so."Therefore, although we have no such stature as the Great Philosophies, I charge you with this - look to source writings, not to interpretations. Look to the original work, not offshoots. If I have fought for a quarter of a century, most of it alone, to keep this work from serving to uphold the enslavers of Man, to keep it free from some destructive "pitch" or slant, then you certainly can carry that motif a little further. I'll not always be here on guard. The stars twinkle in the Milky Way and the wind sighs for songs across the empty fields of a planet a Galaxy away. You won't always be here. But before you go, whisper this to your sons and their sons - "The work was free. Keep it so.

Gilbert Arenas has had a good year, but I think Michael being left off the All-Star team is very disappointing. He's having the best year of his career.

It's important to get people back into the arenas to watch hockey, but it is a lot easier to do when (the owners) know they still get money back because they are taking it out of our paycheck. In essence, the players are paying for all the giveaways and free stuff that the owners are doing. Which is all well and good, but you don't hear about it.

Bill Guerin

The people who are excited and ready to come back, we're extremely lucky to have them. The ones who are upset . . . you know what?

Trent Reznor

I get involved with the set design, lighting and the use of film because I always hated seeing bands in arenas. They usually suck. You're not meant to see rock shows there. You're meant to see a basketball game. In approaching the idea of arenas, I asked, 'What can I do in arenas I can't do elsewhere?' I tried to make it unique, help frame the music, and make it more like theater, so it starts at one place and winds up at another.

Let your life be your argument.

LSU did a great job. We took care of their zone pretty easily, but then they played a lot of man and did a good job with it. I'm not pleased with our team's toughness. We really need to be strong on the court. It was a good lesson for us, but not at all the kind of basketball we play.

S. Walker

Maine's won three in a row and they're shooting the heck out of the basketball. They're shooting 53 percent from three in the last three games so those guys are on fire right now. We just happened to catch those guys on two nights when they didn't shoot it very well.

Calvin Trillin

The Banh Mi sandwich is really the only good argument for colonialism.

Stephen Corry

Would people still use the same demeaning language talking about European gypsies or immigrants? It is fundamentally an old, 19th-century throwback to the idea that that these people are somehow like our ancestors, or backward. It conveys that they are somehow not as intelligent as we are; that they haven't progressed as far as we have. It is fundamentally a colonial mentality.

Anthony Burgess

Colonialism. The enforced spread of the rule of reason. But who is going to spread it among the colonizers?

Greg Paulus

Lee is a natural leader. He's been great to me, just telling me crowds are going to say this, or they're going to try to do this. He just makes sure you're doing your thing.

Dustin Moskovitz

There's a lot of complacency in philanthropy. People figure organizations are trying to do good, and that's enough, even if the results aren't there. But that's wasteful and inefficient. It crowds out better programs.

Lupe Fiasco

Once you've been on tour six, seven years, you get an idea of what works and what doesn't work universally. There will be some crowds that we just can't play a song, but we've got 90% of a show that we know is going to be a hit with the Lupe Fiasco fan. I think the catering has already been done.

Terry Pirtle

We have a local mix of 4A and 3A teams, so I hope the crowds will be really good.

Jimmye Laycock

Last year, they played really tough and they've got most of those people back, including their quarterback. It should be an exciting game.

Dan Wheldon

Scott and I already were talking that we want to make a big impact next year. That's a goal. I had a lot of success this season, and I'm looking to do the same (in '06). It will be a very exciting season in general. There will be a lot of competitive cars, so we'll have to be on top of our game.

Adam Topper

Sean is going to be a very exciting runner to watch this fall.

John Foxe

Last year was our first opportunity (to be on MNF) in quite some time. Hopefully, we'll learn from that and understand what's at stake there. The whole world is watching. There's no question all of your peers are watching. It's something that guys should gear up for, and I think we'll learn from that experience last year.

Gregg Bahen

Jena Torres

Let's just say we've had a lot of five-inning games this year.

Matt Hasselbeck

Last year, the first two games we didn't play well offensively. For whatever reason we just hadn't clicked. It will come around. I still feel good about what we have done and where we are at.

Mark Mulder

Seven games into the season. Sure, it's not what you expect, but it's seven games into the season. I'm sure nobody's worried. I love our bullpen. I love the way those guys throw and I love the way they go about it. I think they're going to be just fine.

Obviously, if you get the opportunity that's great,

I was a hired drummer for 3 Doors; there wasn't an opportunity for me to write.

Charles R. Swindoll

While God is not the author of evil and He never prompts or condones sin, nothing occurs without His sovereign oversight.
