~By Joel Coen ~

~By Michael J. Fox ~
But in the first Gulf war the United Kingdom was not under any threat from Iraq, and is still less so in the second one. Then there is no justification for obstructing freedom of information, particularly as nations have a right to know what their soldiers are being used for.
~By Kate Adie ~

~By Jacob August Riis ~
Our first intuitions are the true ones.
~By Emile M. Cioran ~

~By Robert Patterson ~
At first acoustics attributed to the different sounds only a limited number of characteristic features.
~By Roman Jakobson ~
Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.

~By Minnie Driver ~
First, I identify an analogous problem in nature and borrow from it.
~By Philip Emeagwali ~
I think we are living in selfish times. I'm the first one to say that I'm the most selfish. We live in the so-called 'first world,' and we may be first in a lot of things like technology, but we are behind in empathy.
~By Javier Bardem ~
At the point when continuity was interrupted by the first nuclear explosion, it would have been too easy to recover the formal sediment which linked us with an age of poetic decorum, of a preoccupation with poetic sounds.
~By Salvatore Quasimodo ~
You are about to have your first experience with a Greek lunch. I will kill you if you pretend to like it.
~By Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis ~

~By Julie Christie ~
I started playing Madden back in 1993 because that was the first year I actually made it into the game and that was a big thrill. When you're in Madden, you've made it, baby.

~By Brett Favre ~
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
~By Ernest Hemingway ~
As best I can tell there was no advance warning of the attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, which was the first significant foreign terrorist activity in the U.S. No tip-offs that it was coming.

~By Mary Wortley Montagu ~
For instance, he says I let him play golf, and he says, he lets me be miserable in my job. Now - that doesn't quite sound right, does it? But nonetheless, I think for the first time in my life, I'm not going to be miserable in my life when I come and work at CNN.
~By Connie Chung ~
I'm surprised that we've gotten to a point where we don't put our country first and put our party first.
