Famous Quotes & Sayings

Vincent Bugliosi

Kathy Baker

Sag is a drag, but perky is in. We love our actresses and want to see them at their best. After observing the 2006 Academy Awards, we've got plenty of uplifting examples of perky in Hollywood. This, in our opinion, is the top 10.

John Kattwinkel

This is despite a 53% decrease in the U.S. SIDS rate since the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended in 1992 that babies be placed to sleep on their backs, ...

Bob Parsons

The web-only version is popular, but our 'Road to the Super Bowl' section is also getting a great deal of interest. People want to see why so many of our ads were rejected in the first place. The bottom line is not to please the critics or win an Academy Award. The important thing is to reach the customer.

Ki Hong Lee

The tree-hugging Tolkien freaks, once they get around to seeing the movie and reading the books, tend to go on to read other things that he did. In 1936 he gave a British Academy lecture called Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics, which is still one of the most fabulous things that's been written.

Mike Grier

As badly as it is, it's effective what he does out there. He draws penalties. He gets under the other team's skin. So I think we are all aware of how he plays the game. It's just something you have to deal with when you play against him.

Stuart Pearce

As a young man trying to make your way in life, you feel your back is against the wall and you are scrapping against the whole world,

As it turned out, I guess that onside kick wasn't the best thing to open the half, but I was looking for some spark to get our emotion going and allow us to compete, ...

You have to be able to play at a high energy level and with hope, and we couldn't get anything going to give us that hope.

Our thoughts and our feelings, of course, are not wholly objective, they're inherently subjective. And that's the danger, and I think as long as we're aware of it and can push back against it, I don't think that these two views are necessarily incompatible.

Rhonda Rompola

Our slow start in the first half hurt us. We dug ourselves a hole against a very, very good team.

Tom Catanzarite

Our defense is what bothered me. Not getting back. We can get away with it against Riverdale, because we are a little better than them. But it's not going to work against any other team in the district.

Jim Tressel

Our defense is special. People come in with great plans against them and it's the game of their life to have a chance to play against out defense and our guys just keep fighting and keep fighting and believing in each other.

Scott Bokelman

Our defense is pretty aggressive. When you put some pretty tall, stretchy kids up there on that perimeter, it makes it tough on the offense to be able to pass against it. If we stay aggressive and really get after it, we are tough on the perimeter.

Argus Hamilton

Hillary Clinton began a New York thank-you tour Friday by calling for the abolition of the Electoral College. No wonder Arkansas never liked her. She hasn't been in office three days and already she's an abolitionist.

Calvin Coolidge

This is as good a time as any to comment on what I think has grown into an abuse. Congress makes holidays and every time there isa holiday it is the practice for one department to telephone over to another department and say we are going to have an extra holiday in this department and what is your department going to do about it.... If it comes on Saturday, they want a holiday on Friday, and of course they couldn't come back and travel on Sunday and so they want another holiday on Monday to get back on.

Charles Bukowski

You know the typical crowd, Wow, it’s Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there? Well, yeah. Because there’s nothing out there. It’s stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people. Let them stupidify themselves. I’ve never been bothered with the need to rush out into the night. That’s all. Sorry for all the millions, but I’ve never been lonely. I like myself. I’m the best form of entertainment I have.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

The point I wish plainly to bring before you on this occasion is the individuality of each human soul--our Protestant idea, the right of individual conscience and judgment--our republican idea, individual citizenship. In discussing the rights of woman, we are to consider, first, what belongs to her as an individual, in a world of her own, the arbiter of her own destiny, an imaginary Robinson Crusoe with her woman Friday on a solitary island. Her rights under such circumstances are to use all her faculties for her own safety and happiness.

Calvin Coolidge

If a painting of a tree was only the exact representation of the original, so that it looked just like the tree, there would be no reason for making it; we might as well look at the tree itself. But the painting, if it is of the right sort, gives something that neither a photograph nor a view of the tree conveys. It emphasizes something of character, quality, individuality. We are not lost in looking at thorns and defects; we catch a vision of the grandeur and beauty of a king of the forest.

Al-Waleed bin Talal

Actually, King Abdullah, under his supervision and guidance, has established a dialogue in Saudi Arabia whereby all the population, whether Shiite or Sunnis from north, south, west or east, they can get together and exchange their views.

James Wolcott

'Hairspray' was a movie turned Broadway musical turned Hollywood remake, and that is the 'Lion King' circle of life as we know it in Times Square, the creative loop that swings for the stars and sometimes crashes into the upper deck.

Janis Ian

I think all of us thought that by the '70s, at the latest the '80s, all the world's problems would be solved and everyone would be getting along fine.

Bobby Scott

In fact, the Harvard study data indicates that 70 percent of African American children attend schools that are predominately African American, about the same level as in 1968 when Dr. King died.

Bobby Fischer

He is the so-called father of the modern school of chess; before him, the King was considered a weak piece and players set out to attack the King directly. Steinitz claimed that the King was well able to take care of itself, and ought not to be attacked until one had some other positional advantage. He understood more about the use of squares than Morphy and contributed a great deal more to chess theory.

Brigham Young

The Constitution and laws of the United States resemble a theocracy more closely than any government now on the earth, or that ever has been, so far as we know, except the government of the children of Israel to the time when they elected a king.

Jerry Lawler

George Bernard Shaw

If I refuse to allow my leg to be amputated, its mortification and my death may prove that I was wrong; but if I let the leg go, nobody can ever prove that it would not have mortified had I been obstinate. Operation is therefore the safe side for the surgeon as well as the lucrative side.
