Up here in Alaska we're sitting on billions of barrels of oil. We're sitting on hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of natural gas onshore and offshore. And it seems to be only the Republicans who understand that companies should be competing for the right to tap those resources, and get that energy source flowing into these hungry markets so that we will be less reliant on foreign sources of energy.

Eric Price

What you see here on the facility, we are probably running about 90 percent of our workforce.

Brian Setzer

He was just thrilled, ... He said, 'Oh my gosh, you want to record that old song? I think I got it up in the attic!'

Regina Spektor

I don't really make records chronologically.

Robert Crumb

I still can't spend a lot of money on records at collector prices. There's something in me that just won't allow me to do that. But I will trade my artwork, which I know is worth thousands of dollars.

Robert Wyatt

This constant pressure from record companies to come up with a hit single or something like that, I find completely tiresome.

Warren Buffett

An irresistable footnote: in 1971, pension fund managers invested a record 122% of net funds available in equities - at full prices they couldn't buy enough of them. In 1974, after the bottom had fallen out, they committed a then record low of 21% to stocks.

William Gilmore Simms

Better that we should err in action than wholly refuse to perform. The storm is so much better than the calm, as it declares the presence of a living principle. Stagnation is something worse than death. It is corruption also.

Dan Sharp

I haven't experienced a storm like this in a long time.

Craig Smith
