Umberto Eco

The west has decided to channel money and effort into studying other customs and practices, but no one has really given other people the chance to study western customs and practices, except at schools maintained by white expatriates, or by allowing the rich from other cultures to study in Oxford or Paris.

"I know.

Eric Holder

Some have argued that the President is required to get permission from a federal court before taking action against a United States citizen who is a senior operational leader of al Qaeda or associated forces.

The Constitution guarantees due process, not judicial process.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

The transition from libertine to prig was so complete.

Jeremy Rifkin

Using less of the Earth’s resources more efficiently and productively in a circular economy and making the transition from carbon-based fuels to renewable energies are defining features of the emerging economic paradigm. In the new era, we each become a node in the nervous system of the biosphere.

Greg Buckner

The playoffs, that's just the way that it is. You're not going to get too many transition (baskets).

The way I have progressed as a writer over the years is to try and stay true to the principles I absorbed.

Rob Halford

They were and still are a groundbreaking band. Even though they haven't released any new music in ages, you can put on the first Black Sabbath album and it still sounds as fresh today as it did 30-odd years ago.

Richard P. Feynman

If the professors of English will complain to me that the students who come to the universities, after all those years of study, still cannot spell 'friend,' I say to them that something's the matter with the way you spell friend.
