David Mitchell

The healthy can't understand the emptied, the broken.

Cai Guo-Qiang

For me it's really important that the work here displays an aesthetic of decay along with the sunken boat with the broken ceramic pieces.

It's really the beauty of decay and death that holds a power here.

Louis Sachar

Every time I start a new novel, it seems like an impossible undertaking. If I tried to do too much too quickly, I would get lost and feel overwhelmed. I have to go slow, and give things a chance to take form and grow.

The potential right now for success at that school is very, very high. Of the 30 kids in my class, about 10 are Hispanic. It's very difficult for me to look at those kids that I'm teaching now and know that statistically there's a good chance some of them will drop out of school.

Martyn Thomas

The performance in Paris was unacceptable. We will do what is necessary to enhance our chances of doing well in the World Cup. If that means making changes, so be it, but we are not going into panic mode.

Charles Dickens

Mr Jarndyce, and prevented his going any farther, when he had remarked that there were two classes of charitable people: one, the people who did a little and made a great deal of noise; the other, the people who did a great deal and made no noise at all.

Charles Dickens

The worst class of sum worked in the every-day world is cyphered by the diseased arithmeticians who are always in the rule of Subtraction as to the merits and successes of others, and never in Addition as to their own.

Charles Dickens

Though we are perpetually bragging of it [the middle class] as our safety, it is nothing but a poor fringe on the mantle of the upper class.

Charles Dickens

The American elite is almost beyond redemption. . . . Moral relativism has set in so deeply that the gilded classes have become incapable of discerning right from wrong. Everything can be explained away, especially by journalists. Life is one great moral mush--sophistry washed down with Chardonnay. The ordinary citizens, thank goodness, still adhere to absolutes.... It is they who have saved the republic from creeping degradation while their 'betters' were derelict.

Chris Colfer

When one thing takes another away, what do we call that?” she asked my class. “Homicide!” I called out

Dave Barry

There are two distinctive classes of people today, those who have personal computers, and those who have several thousand extra dollars apiece.

Cesare Pavese

Whatever people may say, the fastidious formal manner of the upper classes is preferable to the slovenly easygoing behaviour of the common middle class. In moments of crisis, the former know how to act, the latter become uncouth brutes.

Jeff Tageant

We started out kind of slow but we finished strong.

Nia Long

Well, the studios don't really want to take those risks right off the bat. They'll take the risk after they've seen the finished product and say oh yeah we want that. This is a great film but they are hesitant to take the risk when you just see it on paper.

We?re starting now to get the work finished prior to the summer travel season.

Jeff Carter

We knew what we had to do. And we went out and finished it off.

Nick Anurak

We knew we were working hard so we knew we could do it. We executed and got it done. We did everything perfect and we got nine champs and everyone placed.

We are out to win the state championship and that's what we're striving for.

Tom Izzo

Let's not anoint us as a finished product yet. But I like the steps we're taking.

Troy Baker

I'm still playing 'GTA;' the online multiplayer is just fantastic. 'Titanfall,' if you can actually get on, is really good, and I just finished the 'Left Behind DLC,' which again, it's one of those games where you put the controller down once you finish and just need to take a break!

Bruce Marthaller

Marcia Gay Harden

There are certainly a billion, ker-trillion girls out there more attractive than I am.

Hayley Orrantia

Ron Reichle

We have to go out now and win our last two games. I think our girls are playing a little nervous the last two games. We just have to go out and relax and play basketball. We're thinking too much rather than just playing.

Lauren Pittman

We were at our own school and watching all these other girls play for something that we had worked all season long for. That was a worse punishment than any kind of running or conditioning.

John Franceschi

We were too one-dimensional. They knew to stop Karen and Katie, and they got their points, but the other girls need to step up.

Lisanne Falk

There are so many beautiful girls who aren't photogenic. In real life, half the models you see look really hideous.

Mike Turnan

We're going to throw a number of girls on her. You have to post up on the elbow, not down on the block. If we can minimize her and their 3-point shooters, we have shot.

Robert Worthy

We're really getting into the meet of our schedule. This is really important.

David Sanborn

I just kinda like playing. I don't necessarily go on tour to promote my albums. I'm on the road all the time. The fact that I have a new record is out is a coincidence.

Bryan Ferry

Get down with your old Allman Bros. records!

Carl Hiaasen

My driving record is not exemplary, but I have never had a speeding ticket over 100 m.p.h. I can say that unequivocally.

Noel Redding

It was rehearsing in the studio, at which point they were setting up the sound, and once we'd got the thing together they'd actually record it, without us knowing sometimes!

Bo Bice

I didn't have a lot to do with the first record.

Blake Shelton

I've always had just enough success to buy me some more tour dates and another record.

Bill Parcells

You are what your record says you are.

Beyonce Knowles

I wanted to sell a million records, and I sold a million records. I wanted to go platinum; I went platinum. I've been working nonstop since I was 15. I don't even know how to chill out.

Dee Dee Warwick

They told me I should be making my own records. So I figured, 'why not?

Alan Watts

You can't figure out the Universe, especially if you're using figures to figure it.

Alan Paton

But perhaps when you were too obedient, and did not do openly what others did, and were quiet in church and hard-working at school, then some unknown rebellion brewed in you, doing harm to you, though how I do not understand.

Alan Moore

I've never studied anything formally. I was excluded from school at the age of 17, so I am an autodidact, which is a word that I have taught myself.

Alan Moore

I don’t think people realise how vital libraries are or what a colossal danger it would be if we were to lose any more. Having had a truncated school life myself, all of my education from the age of 17 has been self-taught. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the opportunities the library gave me.

Alan Bennett

I've never forgotten that experience. But I had nobody at school that was either like Hector or Irwin. The masters had no idea what was expected of you in the scholarship exam, so you just had to busk it really.

Alan Bennett

My experience came before most of you were born. My school was a state school in Leeds and the headmaster usually sent students to Leeds University but he didn't normally send them to Oxford or Cambridge. But the headmaster happened to have been to Cambridge and decided to try and push some of us towards Oxford and Cambridge. So, half a dozen of us tried - not all of us in history - and we all eventually got in. So, to that extent, it [The History Boys] comes out of my own experience.

Alan Ball

I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.

Alan Alda

Musicals are hard for me because I got thrown out of the glee club in high school, because I couldn't sing in tune at the time. I can sing in tune now, but I have to work really hard on it to make sure that I don't exercise one of my great talents, which is the ability to sing in three keys at the same time.

Alan Alda

When I studied how to think in school, I was taught that the first rule of logic was that a thing cannot both be and not be at the same time and in the same respect. That last note, “in the same respect,” says a lot. As soon as you change the frame of reference, you’ve changed the truthiness of a once immutable fact.

Alan Bennett

Sometimes there is no next time, no time-outs, no second chances. Sometimes it’s now or never.

Al Sharpton

We're not willing to give black leaders second chances because, in most cases, we're not willing to give them first chances.

Al Jourgensen

It certainly is gravy every day above ground right now, after kicking that heroin habit. I've been given a second chance in life, and I don't want to let a minute go by without enjoying it.

Al Jarreau

I really do see it as the start of the second half of my career.

Chet Williamson

Publishers love to compartmentalize, and Second Chance was not an easy novel to define.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

There are no second chances in life, except to feel remorse.

Bertrand Russell

This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the second chance were offered me.

Nick Whaley

We were better in the second game, so it's disappointing that we didn't play more relaxed.

Charles Rangel

I am a firm believer that upon release, ex-offenders should be afforded a second chance to become productive citizens by providing rehabilitation and education that will help them join the workforce.

I loved what I did. I could've been secretary of state for ever.

Madeleine Albright

...interest is the barometer of the state...

Eden Sher

I live in a constant state of hyperbole.

Carol Moseley Braun

I was very productive as a senator for my state.

Paul Tagliabue

to play in the state in which they're franchised.

Susan Hill

We're realists. We know we're in a state where the Legislature is anti-choice.

Al Mollozzi

When the state inspectors look at us, they will see that the systems are in place. You have to have a system whether you have one person or 100.

Alan Pardew

I don't like people who drain my time and energy. If you've seen the Harry Potter films, we use the term 'dementors' - people who can draw the life out of you in terms of your energy. So we eradicate the 'dementors', encourage the positive people, and that spreads around to create the team spirit we have here

Alan Hansen

I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.

Alan Hansen

The World Cup needs a brilliant Brazilian team.

Alain Prost

A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.

Alain Prost

It's always better to speak the language of the team. Not only for the direct contact with everyone - sometimes it also helps you to understand the mentality of the people in the team a bit better.

Alain Prost

When I drove for British teams... they called me The Tadpole because I was too small to be a frog.

Alain Prost

You can't always have the best team. It's always a compromise.

Al Michaels

There are a number of teams that would become vastly improved with Drew Bledsoe.

Al Michaels

The Miami Dolphins have to be taken seriously. Here's a team that seems to be jelling.

Joe Riley

We're going to try it for two weeks to see if it works.

Annika Sorenstam

Three-under after two weeks of really no golf, I can't complain,

Gail Sheehy

Like everyone else in the first weeks after the tragedy of 9/11, I was looking frantically for some way to help.

Nicole Sullivan

I was only in LA for two weeks when I got that job. And I didn't work again for two years.

Brian Goorjian

It could be two weeks or it could be the season.

Annika Sorenstam

I have had two weeks off and I'm rested,

John Batina

We've been doing that for two weeks now.

Paul Johnson

We'll have to see. Two weeks into the spring, we'll have an idea of the separation.

Joe Gibbs

Two weeks in a row, he's been pretty impressive.

Alan Moore

Now everything is wonderful and hazardous and nothing's hypothetical.

Alan Alda

I'm in this wonderful position where I can do what interests me. And whatever comes along that interests me, I do. The rest of the time I bother scientists about communicating.

E. B. White

We've won here now so we don't have to worry about the 15-year thing.

Bryce Courtenay

Each of us has been designed for one of two immortal functions, as either a storyteller or as a cross-legged listener to tales of wonder, love, and daring. When we cease to tell or listen, then we no longer exist as a people.

Catherynne M. Valente

And it's the wonders I'm after, even if I have to bleed for them.

Casey Stengel

It's wonderful to meet so many friends that I didn't used to like.

Jeff Murphy

We started off very slow. We had to refocus and get back to the things that won the first set for us.

Astrid Lindgren

Don't let them get you down. Be cheeky. And wild. And wonderful.

Bill Nye

When or if answers are found, you can be assured those answers will lead to more questions. Is the troubling or wonderful? It depends on your view of your place in nature, your place among the stars; I suppose.
