We must sometimes get away from the Authorized Version, if for no other reason, simply because it is so beautiful and so solemn. Beauty exalts, but beauty also lulls. Early associations endear, but they also confuse. Through that beautiful solemnity, the transporting or horrifying realities of which the Book tells may come to us blunted and disarmed, and we may only sigh with tranquil veneration when we ought to be burning with shame, or struck dumb with terror, or carried out of ourselves by ravishing hopes and adorations. ...

C. S. Lewis

All right, beautiful. You've got me tied down to this stone table, and there's a knife in your hand that says you get to rule Narnia for another hundred years. So maybe I die, and winter goes on.

Morgan Stanley

The peak...is the key determinant of the timing of the prospective turn in the dollar.

Carl Sagan

All of us cherish our beliefs. They are, to a degree, self-defining. When someone comes along who challenges our belief system as insufficiently well-based - or who, like Socrates, merely asks embarrassing questions that we haven't thought of, or demonstrates that we've swept key underlying assumptions under the rug - it becomes much more than a search for knowledge. It feels like a personal assault.

That was the key play of the game. That sort of put it away.

John Davidson

People I know purchased the St. Louis Blues. It's a purchase in principle. They don't own the team yet. The sale has to be ratified by the league. For me to speculate what I might do with the St. Louis Blues, well, they don't even own the team yet. I don't have anything to tell anybody.

We opened May 2, and by the third week in June, we were selling out, ... Wicked.

Peggy Laskowski

We opened it up to the community, and it went pretty well. It was a lot of fun.

You pressure, you want possession, you want to attack. Some teams can't or don't pass the ball. What are you playing for? What's the point? That's not football. Combine, pass, play. That's football - for me, at least.

Thomas Bailey Aldrich

What is lovely never dies, But passes into other loveliness.

Neon Hitch

Yes, it's my real name. I had to pull out my passport twice today to prove it.

What I value most in new music is strangeness, oddity. Passion. And humor. I listen to a lot of hip-hop because it combines so many things like that.

I rarely cry. I save my feelings up inside me like I have something more specific in mind for them. I am waiting for the exact perfect situationand then BOOM! I'll explode in a light show of feeling and emotion - a pinata stuffed with tender nuances and pent-up passions

Carl Sagan

My deeply held belief is that if a god of anything like the traditional sort exists, our curiosity and intelligence are provided by such a god. We would be unappreciative of those gifts (as well as unable to take such a course of action) if we suppressed our passion to explore the universe and ourselves. On the other hand, if such a traditional god does not exist, our curiosity and our intelligence are the essential tools for managing our survival. In either case, the enterprise of knowledge is consistent with both science and religion, and is essential for the welfare of the human species.

Bethany Hamilton

Demond Garth

That was a stage down at Wallace State, and he played unreal.

Amy Pettibone

That which does not kill you only makes you stronger. We have played with the best. I look at the state rankings, and there aren't many that we haven't played. You've got to test your players.

Janis Pardy

We have all played together for so long. We have a lot of chemistry. We know how each other plays and can predict what they are going to do next.

Dee Brown

We could have played better. We didn't play our best, but we stuck it out and we won.

Isaac Brock

As frustrating as it is to not have a record come out, I have to make sure that it's worth putting out. I have to be trying to say something, for one. I have to not oversell what I'm trying to say. I can't 'Bono' it.

Patricia Millett

I certainly have a pretty settled pattern at this point of what I do substantively in terms of reviewing briefs, record materials, cases, etc.

Barry McCaffrey

The 1998 study shows that we have turned the tide of youth drug use.

I was very proud of my father, and I admired him, but I always thought he was more interesting than the shows he was working on.

Philip Treacy

You always see a better side of where you're visiting when a local shows you around.

Brian Hill

If anything, this shows we're not throwing in the towel on the season.

Pete Carroll

If anything, it shows that we can finish.

Arsene Wenger

Sometimes now, when I watch continental games on television, I'm a bit bored. I ask, 'where is the intensity?'

Arsene Wenger

If I were going to war I would want to be alongside an Englishman not a Frenchman. The Frenchman would think too much.

Arsene Wenger

Work on your strong points because they are what made you.

Arsene Wenger

We played a whole season unbeaten but you did not see me every week jumping on the tables. Once it's over it's over and you do in the next one as well as you can. Plenty of managers who have won the Champions League will not be considered great managers.

Arsene Wenger

I would be much more annoyed if we hadn't won the game. As a manager, you have to see the positives and I think Pires has a vaccine for the rest of his life.

Arsene Wenger

I am in a job where you always look in front of you. Unfortunately, the older you get, the less distance there is in front of you.

Tony DeMuro

That was the way we want to see it end. It couldn't be any better than that with three teams going after it.

John Stockton

We could have one of the better teams we've ever had here. I think we're on our way back up.

Any time you've got big teams winning, you've got big stars.

Tom Condon

Those are the two teams we have scheduled so far.

Jamelle Cornley

We can play with anybody, teams know that.

Bob Shoop

We do need to find another playmaker on offense, whether it's the tight end or who it is. Or teams are just going to quadruple-cover Bowser.

We don't see Big 12 teams very often,

Pierce Brosnan

As you get older, there's a loosening of the ties to the ego and the posturing of who you are and how you behave.

Dhani Jones

People look at you differently if you wear a bow tie, as opposed to a necktie.

Dhani Jones

There's four main pillars to the bow tie - self-representation, service, collaboration and critical thought. You have to understand how to represent yourself and critically understand how to collaborate and serve others.

Charlie Chaplin

That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.

Charles Caleb Colton

That alliance may be said to have a double tie, where the minds are united as well as the body; and the union will have all its strength when both the links are in perfection together.

Charles Spurgeon

Bread is a second cause; the LORD Himself is the first source of our sustenance. He can work without the second cause as well as with it; and we must not tie Him down to one mode of operation. Let us not be too eager after the visible, but let us look to the invisible God.

Michelle Reinig

We could never have done it. Two of them were in the water when we got there and one was on top of the ice.

I wouldn't want to put a top on it at the moment. It has still got a lot of wind in its sales.

Steve Swasey

From top to bottom, Blockbuster is deliberately and willfully infringing on our patented methods.

Gary Hudson

For us to come out on top again, we've got to play hard, smart, and unselfishly.

Dennis Thompson

I don't know what I'm going to say, ... I'll just go off the top of my head.

Carrie Fisher

You know how most illnesses have symptoms you can recognize? Like fever, upset stomach, chills, whatever. Well, with manic depression, it's sexual promiscuity, excessive spending, and substance abuse - and that just sounds like a fantastic weekend in Vegas to me!

David Sedaris

..she took pictures of germs, viruses, and people reacting to germs and viruses. On weekends, for extra money, she photographed weddings, which really wasn't that much of a stretch

David Ginola

I am still feeling my calf strain, so I have been unable to train this week. I will again have to sit out the weekend action, but the lads are climbing ever higher to safety.

Dave Barry

I live in one of the coastal cities in Southern California, and every so often I like to take a walk down the boardwalk in Venice during the weekends when it is abuzz with lively activity.
