Mike Holmgren

That was very distasteful to me, to retaliate so to speak like that (against the Vikings). I do believe the commissioner should look into these kind of clauses. We work so hard on trying to gain labor peace and a new collective bargaining agreement and then we as clubs allow agents to get cute and circumvent it. On the playing field there are rules and there are unwritten rules about how the game should be played in the spirit and the fairness of it all. It doesn't make sense to me that we had to lose such a fine football player this way. I was surprised by the ruling.

John Ashcroft

Javier Solana

The peace agreement must be seen as a matter of urgency.

John McCarthy

The peace advocates are more interested in beating the conservatives than in reaching agreement with the Soviets.

Bertrand Russell

The opposition of instinct and reason is mainly illusory. Instinct, intuition, or insight is what first leads to the beliefs which subsequent reason confirms or confutes; but the confirmation, where it is possible, consists, in the last analysis, of agreement with other beliefs no less instinctive. Reason is a harmonizing, controlling force rather than a creative one. Even in the most purely logical realms, it is insight that first arrives at what is new.

Bertrand Russell

My sad conviction is that people can only agree about what they're not really interested in.

Greg Aiello

Gina Prince-Bythewood

'Beyond the Lights' took incredible fight to get made. Four years of writing and two years of overcoming 'no.' Every studio balked. Twice. But I kept fighting.

Arsene Wenger

At some clubs success is accidental. At Arsenal it is compulsory.

Mark Ronson

I made my name and reputation DJing in hip-hop clubs in New York. 'Celebrity DJ' is a term that I hated. To me a celebrity DJ is someone that's on 'Big Brother' or in some kind of B-movie who gets a gig to DJ even though they're not talented enough to do it.

Are wars... anything but the means whereby a nation's problems are set, where creation is stimulated - there you have adventure. But there is no adventure in heads-or-tails, in betting that the toss will come out of life or death. War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.

Arsene Wenger

Unfortunately apparently I am to blame because I don't produce enough English players.

Arsene Wenger

As a coach you can influence the diet of your players. You can point out what is wrong.

Arsene Wenger

English players are as easy to coach. The problem is that the Premier League has the best players in the world, and statistically not all of them can be born in England. But we don't have enough English players: we are working very hard on it.

Bill Bruford

One of the great things about having good players in your band is that you just ask them questions. You can pick up some good information that way.

C. S. Lewis

I haven't any language weak enough to depict the weakness of my spiritual life. If I weakened it enough it would cease to be language at all. As when you try to turn the gas-ring a little lower still, and it merely goes out.

C. S. Lewis

If and when a horror turns up you will then be given Grace to help you. I don't think one is usually given it in advance. "Give us our daily bread" (not an annuity for life) applies to spiritual gifts too; the little daily support for the daily trial. Life has to be taken day by day and hour by hour.

Carrie Newcomer

There's a spiritual current in my work because there's a spiritual current in my life.

Carl Sagan

...the idea of a spiritual part of our nature that survives death, the notion of an afterlife, ought to be easy for religions and nations to sell. This is not an issue of which we might anticipate widespread skepticism.

Aron Ralston

Indeed, it has affirmed my belief that our purpose as spiritual beings is to follow our bliss, seek our passions, and live our lives as inspirations to each other.

Tom Atkins

We have a lot of spirited discussions. We need to be able to have these discussions, and after that we need to get along.

I'm always surprised at what I actually end up doing because I don't have a strategy or a game plan, especially now that I'm making my own choices.

Cilla Black

I can't say I'm surprised I was successful. I was determined - and I got it.

John Milton

Virtue may be assailed, but never hurt, / Surprised by unjust force, but not enthralled.
