Newman has it all worked out. I get a million. He gets a million two, but that includes $200,000 expenses.
~By Lee Marvin ~
I don't think you can rely on Iran. I don't think you can rely on other radicals like the Taliban. They dispatched Al Qaida to bomb New York and Washington. What were they thinking? Were they that stupid? They weren't stupid. There is an irrationality there, and there is madness in this method.
~By Benjamin Netanyahu ~
Although computer memory is no longer expensive, there's always a finite size buffer somewhere. When a big piece of news arrives, everybody sends a message to everybody else, and the buffer fills.
~By Benoit Mandelbrot ~
But we also think that we've got more quite alot more support than any new format has ever had.
~By Trip Hawkins ~

The bad news is that 50 people died in a hotel fire; the good news is that we got exclusive footage.
~By Jessica Savitch ~

~By George Combe ~
I find it very hard to sit down and create an idea or especially a new character on command. Usually my characters evolve by accident out of some story context.

~By David Bohm ~

~By Carter Burwell ~
For me retiring wasn't hard once I knew that that was the decision I was going to make.
~By Gabriela Sabatini ~
The American soldier is quick in adapting himself to a new mode of living. Outfits which have been here only three days have dug vast networks of ditches three feet deep in the bare brown earth. They have rigged up a light here and there with a storage battery.
~By Ernie Pyle ~
Francisco Garcia could have been a high draft choice last year, probably in the 20s. He's the best wing player I've ever coached. But he's done it the right way. He knew he had to work on his body to become a good pro. When he goes into the pros, he'll be physically ready.
~By Rick Pitino ~
I mean, what Fiat had it was not very big, it was something like forty or fifty million dollars, but it's enough to get revolving credit, to get starting away again, the buying of new machinery.
~By Gianni Agnelli ~
I hope we never get to the point that we put ourselves in Jesus' place. But when I read the New Testament basically, we get three mandates: to love God, to love each other, and to take care of the least among us. And I think this is at least a step in the right direction.
~By Bob Riley ~
All the action, in semiconductors at the present time is in the new consumer applications, and that's where we have focused our activities since we started doing our own products in the late '90s.
~By David Milne ~
Of course for many years directors have had to go on the road with their movies and promote them and I've done that since the beginning. So that's not new but the forms of it are different such as with the internet.
~By David Cronenberg ~
It's to surprise people about something that is extremely well known. I mean human reproduction, the human body, nature and so on. To surprise them with a new technique.
~By Lennart Nilsson ~
We have a set of sensible policies that are appropriate for the 21st century and which strike a chord of appeal with the silent majority. Perhaps that is why we are welcoming new members every week who have never before been involved in politics.
~By Steve Blake ~
I knew Anais Nin, who called me after I had been away for a few years. She was seeking help because at that time no one would give her a decent review. She was made fun of.
~By Marguerite Young ~
I realized what Led Zeppelin was about around the end of our first U.S. tour. We started off not even on the bill in Denver, and by the time we got to New York we were second to Iron Butterfly, and they didn't want to go on!

From the top of the quarry cliffs, one could see the New Jersey suburbs bordered by the New York City skyline.

News is the first rough draft of history.
~By Philip L. Graham ~
I certainly wanted to write a book that was honest about New Orleans without explaining it to death, so much so that the first draft contained references absolutely incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't lived here for several years.
~By Poppy Z. Brite ~
There is no pleasing New Englanders, my dear, their soil is all rocks and their hearts are bloodless absolutes.
~By John Updike ~
He did not know what love was. And he did not know what good it was. But he knew he carried it around with him, a scabrous spot of rot, of contagion, for which there was no cure.
~By Harry Crews ~
When the government picked companies and gave them monopoly rights to frequencies in San Francisco and Los Angeles and New York and Chicago, it was picking the winners of the competition; it wasn't setting the terms of the competition.

This brought on the news media, TV crews, interviews, and numerous public appearances.
~By Ryan White ~

~By George A. Sheehan ~
I was amazed at the support that I got when I was in there. And when I came out people knew that I was back on track. I was interested in working again.
~By Kate Moss ~

~By Morgan Freeman ~
So many of the sounds that contemporary composers were trying to create were to be found in the traditional musics of the world. That was encouraging but also little daunting to think that you had to work so hard to be new and yet it was old.
~By Robert Morris ~
On the last morning of Virginia's bloodiest year since the Civil War, I built a fire and sat facing a window of darkness where at sunrise I knew I would find the sea.

I have newspapers coming to me and saying, 'Can we get in on the TARP?'.
~By Nancy Pelosi ~
I had a financial page to write in the Mail on Sunday where I'd give tips on shares. I worked there for two and a half years. Nothing compares to the burst of energy felt on a newsroom floor when a big story breaks.
~By Adam Faith ~
I am writing about people who are alive in the city of New York during mid-20th-century America. And these people are like a character in a play or they are figures in a short story or a novel.

~By Maynard James Keenan ~
Road racing at the moment because it's still so new to me. I like the fact that they are longer and teamwork is important. I guess the same is true for track, it's just that I have used track this year as a training device to improve my sprinting in road racing.
~By Mark-Paul Gosselaar ~
I think the New Bohemians' inability to say no was a big part of our problem.
~By Edie Brickell ~

~By Geraldo Rivera ~
If you're doing something new you've got to have a vision. You've got to have a perspective. You've got to have some north star you're aiming for, and you just believe somehow you'll get there, which kind of gets to the passion point.
~By Steve Case ~
What I think is highly inappropriate is what's going on across the Internet, a kind of political jihad against Dan Rather and CBS News that's quite outrageous.

~By John Bolton ~
When I go to farms or little towns, I am always surprised at the discontent I find. And New York, too often, has looked across the sea toward Europe. And all of us who turn our eyes away from what we have are missing life.
~By Norman Rockwell ~
What old people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can. Old deeds for old people, and new deeds for new.

A new word is like a fresh seed sown on the ground of the discussion.
~By Ludwig Wittgenstein ~

~By Robert Laurent ~
Every new adjustment is a crisis in self-esteem.
~By Eric Hoffer ~

~By Robert Wise ~
The poets whom I knew then were all men and all seemed dauntingly sure of themselves - although I am sure that really they were as uncertain as I was.

~By Kerry King ~
It makes sense to invest in new work. It's almost like having a research department in a scientific laboratory. You have to try things out. You'll make some bad mistakes. Some things will fail but at least you'll energise the organisation.
~By Gavin Bryars ~
When I was 18, I joined the Screen Actors Guild, and after college I came to New York.
