Luciano Berio Quotes

Henri Bergson

In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically.
Henri Bergson

Instinct perfected is a faculty of using and even constructing organized instruments; intelligence perfected is the faculty of making and using unorganized instruments.
Henri Bergson

Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools.
Henri Bergson

It seems that laughter needs an echo.
Henri Bergson

Life does not proceed by the association and addition of elements, but by dissociation and division.

Ingrid Bergman

I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say.
Ingrid Bergman

Ingmar Bergman Quotes

Everything is worth precisely as much as a belch, the difference being that a belch is more satisfying.
Ingmar Bergman

Ingmar Bergman

I write scripts to serve as skeletons awaiting the flesh and sinew of images.

Dennis Bergkamp Quotes

I don't want to lose myself in football and that's what a coach has to do to be successful.
Dennis Bergkamp

I love playing football, being out on the pitch with a ball, and I will be a little sad when that ends.
Dennis Bergkamp

I think it is time to call it a day, and watch the game from the stands.
Dennis Bergkamp

I think these awards are always nice for a player but they also reflect well on the club. It shows that Arsenal's performance have been noted all around the world and it helps by having so many good players around me.
Dennis Bergkamp

In Holland and Spain and France, where so many of us come from, people aren't interested in the sex lives of their players. We don't hear these stories - even in Italy where the media is right on top of football.
Dennis Bergkamp

It will be a hard game if you think about winning a championship. We need to think about our own game at the moment and focus on getting good results especially over the Christmas period.
Dennis Bergkamp

My aim is to play as many games as possible and to go out and be one of the 11 players again.
Dennis Bergkamp

Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.
Dennis Bergkamp

Our two biggest rivals had adjusted their whole season to this one aim of beating us. Of course, it is a big compliment that they were so motivated to stop us but it was very tough to face two matches like that so close together. Suddenly three trophies are down to one.
Dennis Bergkamp

So here, at Arsenal, we are often surprised when we are shown some of the newspapers, and at the bottom of an article there is a line saying if you know of anyone who had an affair with a player, call this number. It is very strange to us.
Dennis Bergkamp

So I took it as a very positive sign that the club came to me rather than the other way round.
Dennis Bergkamp

Sometimes you feel the emotion. You think this might be my last pre-season or my last Champions League match. But, overall, those thoughts aren't important right now. But the time will soon come.
Dennis Bergkamp

The regular things in my life now - training sessions and playing matches - will all fall away. That will leave a big empty space and it will need to be filled.
Dennis Bergkamp

We're still a great team. In your mind you can understand that but, emotionally, we needed to express the same belief. We came out full of fire and scored two early goals, two really beautiful goals, and that changed everything.
Dennis Bergkamp

What a ball from Frank. Frank and I go back years. He used to do that when I was at Ajax.
Dennis Bergkamp

When you beat a team so often - especially like this season when Chelsea had already lost three times to us - you know people expect you to do it again. But you also know they're going to be even more motivated to finally win.
Dennis Bergkamp

Michael Bergin

I began to believe the fairy tales: You know, how we're all out there looking for our magical missing half.
Michael Bergin

I didn't know a damn thing about style.
Michael Bergin

I guess that's what I was: a set of abs. And they lit the abs and shot the abs and sent the abs on their way. The photographer didn't look at my face once. I was humiliated.
Michael Bergin

I like parties, but I'm shy, and I often find myself standing around, feeling awkward.
Michael Bergin

I spent two weeks prancing around a studio in Queens in my underwear with nine other guys. They were long days. But what the hell, it was Calvin Klein.

Michael Bergin

I wanted to marry a girl just like my mom.
Michael Bergin

I was going to get the Carolyn Bessette story out of her one way or another.

Michael Bergin

I'd been around women who put me down, made me feel bad, or said things to fuel my insecurity.
Michael Bergin

I'd gone to Manhattan to become a model.

Michael Bergin

New York is tough on lonely people.
Michael Bergin

Thank God for little miracles, right?

Tom Bergeron

I work best when people are here to puncture me.
Tom Bergeron

I'd like to have a drink with Bill Maher and see how he feels. We were too conservative coming over to Fox from fX, and got ourselves off our best game.

Some people come in and really freak. There's movement everywhere, even a dancing housekeeper!
Tom Bergeron

We're improvising a lot of this, which amazes people.

Cyrano de Bergerac

A large nose is the mark of a witty, courteous, affable, generous and liberal man.
Cyrano de Bergerac

I may climb perhaps to no great heights, but I will climb alone.
Cyrano de Bergerac

The insufferable arrogance of human beings to think that Nature was made solely for their benefit, as if it was conceivable that the sun had been set afire merely to ripen men's apples and head their cabbages.
Cyrano de Bergerac

Thomas Berger Quotes

The decision violates both the letter and spirit of the law.
Philip E. Berger

Phil Berger Quotes

It's no fun to have HIV even though it's viewed as a chronic, controllable disease. It means being wedded to the health system.
Phil Berger

Peter L. Berger Quotes

But we don't have an example of a democratic society existing in a socialist economy - which is the only real alternative to capitalism in the modern world.
Peter L. Berger

Even if one is interested only in one's own society, which is one's prerogative, one can understand that society much better by comparing it with others.
Peter L. Berger

Even in a society as tightly controlled as Singapore's, the market creates certain forces which perhaps in the long run may lead to democracy.
Peter L. Berger

I think what I and most other sociologists of religion wrote in the 1960s about secularization was a mistake. Our underlying argument was that secularization and modernity go hand in hand. With more modernization comes more secularization.
Peter L. Berger

I'm sure Putnam is right that there's been a decline in certain kinds of organizations like bowling leagues. But people participate in communities in other ways.
Peter L. Berger

If the cultural elite has its way, the U.S. will be much more like Europe.
Peter L. Berger

If you say simply that pressures toward democracy are created by the market, I would say yes.
Peter L. Berger

In a market economy, however, the individual has some possibility of escaping from the power of the state.
Peter L. Berger

It has been true in Western societies and it seems to be true elsewhere that you do not find democratic systems apart from capitalism, or apart from a market economy, if you prefer that term.
Peter L. Berger

Let me say again that the relationship is asymmetrical: there's no democracy without a market economy, but you can have a market economy without democracy.
Peter L. Berger

One can't understand the Christian Right and similar movements unless one sees them as reactive - they're reacting to what they call secular humanism.
Peter L. Berger

Our institute's agenda is relatively simple. We study the relationship between social-economic change and culture. By culture we mean beliefs, values and lifestyles. We cover a broad range of issues, and we work very internationally.
Peter L. Berger

So I think one can say on empirical grounds - not because of some philosophical principle - that you can't have democracy unless you have a market economy.
Peter L. Berger

Some people seem to gravitate from one fundamentalism to another, from some kind of secular fundamentalism into a religious fundamentalism or the other way around, which is not very helpful.
Peter L. Berger

Some people think that as the Chinese economy becomes more and more capitalistic it will inevitably become more democratic.
Peter L. Berger

The basic fault lines today are not between people with different beliefs but between people who hold these beliefs with an element of uncertainty and people who hold these beliefs with a pretense of certitude.
Peter L. Berger

The negative side to globalization is that it wipes out entire economic systems and in doing so wipes out the accompanying culture.
Peter L. Berger

The problem with liberal Protestantism in America is not that it has not been orthodox enough, but that it has lost a lot of religious substance.
Peter L. Berger

There is a continuum of values between the churches and the general community. What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved.
Peter L. Berger

We also have a cultural phenomenon: the emergence of a global culture, or of cultural globalization.
Peter L. Berger

Peter Berger Quotes

The past is malleable and flexible, changing as our recollection interprets and re-explains what has happened.
Peter Berger

John Berger Quotes

A peasant becomes fond of his pig and is glad to salt away its pork. What is significant, and is so difficult for the urban stranger to understand, is that the two statements are connected by an and not by a but.
John Berger

Autobiography begins with a sense of being alone. It is an orphan form.
John Berger

Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural.
John Berger

Emigration, forced or chosen, across national frontiers or from village to metropolis, is the quintessential experience of our time.
John Berger

Glamour cannot exist without personal social envy being a common and widespread emotion.
John Berger

Modern thought has transferred the spectral character of Death to the notion of time itself. Time has become Death triumphant over all.
John Berger

Nakedness reveals itself. Nudity is placed on display. The nude is condemned to never being naked. Nudity is a form of dress.
John Berger

Never chain your dogs together with sausages. One must accustom one's self to be bored.
John Berger

Nothing in the nature around us is evil. This needs to be repeated since one of the human ways of talking oneself into inhuman acts is to cite the supposed cruelty of nature.
John Berger

One can say of language that it is potentially the only human home, the only dwelling place that cannot be hostile to man.
John Berger

Ours is the century of enforced travel of disappearances. The century of people helplessly seeing others, who were close to them, disappear over the horizon.
John Berger

Post-modernism has cut off the present from all futures. The daily media add to this by cutting off the past. Which means that critical opinion is often orphaned in the present.
John Berger

Publicity is the life of this culture - in so far as without publicity capitalism could not survive - and at the same time publicity is its dream.
John Berger

That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe.
John Berger

The camera relieves us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget.
John Berger

The human imagination... has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open.
John Berger

The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying.
John Berger

The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich.
John Berger

Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does.
John Berger

What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.
John Berger

Hans Berger Quotes

In Germany I am not so famous.
Hans Berger

The electroencephalogram represents a continuous curve with continuous oscillations in which... one can distinguish larger first order waves with an average duration of 90 milliseconds and smaller second order waves of an average duration of 35 milliseconds.
Hans Berger

We see in the electroencephalogram a concomitant phenomenon of the continuous nerve processes which take place in the brain, exactly as the electrocardiogram represents a concomitant phenomenon of the contractions of the individual segments of the heart.
Hans Berger

Arthur Berger Quotes

Sometimes you know you find precious things in the creative process that you couldn't find out of it.
Arthur Berger

I was asking Charlie the most important questions, and you heard the answers.
Edgar Bergen

I've never told you the story of Alice in Wonderland, have I?
Edgar Bergen

Nobody seems to know yet how television is going to affect the radio, movies, love, housekeeping or the church, but it has definitely revived vaudeville.
Edgar Bergen

OK, magic boy, let's see who you really are.
Edgar Bergen

Show me where Stalin is buried and I'll show you a Communist Plot.
Edgar Bergen

Candice Bergen

I guess I was a mom so late in life, my daughter was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Music is at once the product of feeling and knowledge, for it requires from its disciples, composers and performers alike, not only talent and enthusiasm, but also that knowledge and perception which are the result of protracted study and reflection.
Alban Berg

Paddy Ashdown Quotes

Bosnia is under my skin. It's the place you cannot leave behind. I was obsessed by the nightmare of it all; there was this sense of guilt, and an anger that has become something much deeper over these last years.
Paddy Ashdown

I am formally accountable to the steering board of the PIC, and I meet with nine ambassadors from the PIC every week. I have to have the capitals' broad agreement with what I do.

Paddy Ashdown

I've had much nastier things said about me in the British press than in the Bosnian press.

It was a superb agreement to end a war, but a very bad agreement to make a state. From now on, we have to part company with Dayton and try to build a modern democratic state, for which I have tried to lay the foundations.
Paddy Ashdown

It works both ways: there are victims of tragedy who come to me who have experienced grief of such magnitude that they cannot reconcile. Likewise, I cannot change the mentality of those who committed the crimes or the fools who followed them.
Paddy Ashdown

It would be a foolish high representative who worked that way.
Paddy Ashdown

It's not my job to be popular. I'm goal-driven; my job is to get results.
Paddy Ashdown

Maybe it's legitimate criticism, though it can be hurtful. Maybe I haven't paid sufficient attention to the people with whom I would have a natural affinity as a liberal, and they feel let down by that.
Paddy Ashdown

My second job has been to try to use my power to create institutions of a modern state that could enter the European Union, and there was very little time. The door was closing, and I wanted to get Bosnia through before it shut.
Paddy Ashdown

People do not want politicians they know to be corrupt.
Paddy Ashdown

Politics is about putting yourself in a state of grace.
Paddy Ashdown

Politics is compromise.
Paddy Ashdown

The generous way of putting it is that we were not ready for this. The less generous way is to say: How was it possible to return to the politics of appeasement of the 1930s?
Paddy Ashdown

The greatest failure is that although we have created institutions, we have not created a civil society.
Paddy Ashdown

John Ashcroft

John Ashcroft

The path we have chosen is constitutional.
John Ashcroft

The Patriot Act allows and provides a basis for an exchange of information.
John Ashcroft

The way the terrorist is trained to operate, especially the suicide terrorists, makes punishment and the threat of punishment far less valuable to those who would prevent the crime.
John Ashcroft

Richie Ashburn Quotes

I wish I'd known early what I had to learn late.
Richie Ashburn

I'm flattered that so many baseball people think I'm a Hall of Famer. But what's hard to believe is how one-hundred and fifty plus people have changed their minds about me since I became eligible, because I haven't had a base hit since then.
Richie Ashburn

To cure a batting slump, I took my bat to bed with me. I wanted to know my bat a little better.
Richie Ashburn

John Ashbery Quotes

John Ashbery

I like poems you can tack all over with a hammer and there are no hollow places.
John Ashbery

I write with experiences in mind, but I don't write about them, I write out of them.
John Ashbery

The poem is sad because it wants to be yours, and cannot be.

Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist.
Mary Kay Ash

If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.
Mary Kay Ash

Left eyebrow raised, right eyebrow raised.
Mary Kay Ash

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.
Mary Kay Ash

No matter how busy you are, you must take time to make the other person feel important.
Mary Kay Ash

Mary Kay Ash

People fall forward to success.

Timothy Garton Ash Quotes

A central claim of the Bush administration's foreign policy is that the spread of democracy in the Middle East is the cure for terrorism.
Timothy Garton Ash

After saying yes to Turkey, the EU is having difficulty finding clear and consistent grounds for saying no to other, still more remote candidates - but being in the general vicinity of Europe does seem to be a continuing requirement.
Timothy Garton Ash

But transitions from the politics of violence to democratic compromise are always messy.
Timothy Garton Ash

Canadians tend to be a bit more religious than most Europeans - though not more than the Poles or Ukrainians. Most important, their attitude to immigration and ethnic minorities is more positive than that of most Europeans.
Timothy Garton Ash

Developments in information technology and globalised media mean that the most powerful military in the history of the world can lose a war, not on the battlefield of dust and blood, but on the battlefield of world opinion.
Timothy Garton Ash

Timothy Garton Ash

I love this country, but the union jack leaves me cold.
Timothy Garton Ash

No country in Europe has a larger proportion of men and women of immigrant descent, mainly from the African continent and mainly Muslim: an estimated six to seven million of them, or more than 10% of the population.
Timothy Garton Ash

Nuclear proliferation - the proliferation of WMDs altogether - is one of the greatest dangers of our time.
Timothy Garton Ash

One thing, however, I know with certainty: violence, or the direct threat of violence, of the kind we have seen in the past few days, is totally unjustified as a response to any published word or image.
Timothy Garton Ash

That said, the question remains: how to strike the balance between free speech and mutual respect in this mixed-up world, both blessed and cursed with instant communication? We should not fight fire with fire, threats with threats.
Timothy Garton Ash

The key to the survival of liberty in the modern world is the embrace of multiple identities.
Timothy Garton Ash

To be in Florence is to reflect on Europe's intricate diversity - and its lost creativity.
Timothy Garton Ash

Yet another thing Canadians and Europeans have in common is an obsession with the United States, and with distinguishing themselves from it, often by crude stereotyping.
Timothy Garton Ash

Roger Ascham Quotes

By experience we find out a short way by a long wandering.

In our fathers' time nothing was read but books of feigned chivalry, wherein a man by reading should be led to none other end, but only to manslaughter and bawdry.
Roger Ascham

It is costly wisdom that is bought by experience.
Roger Ascham

Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty.

Roger Ascham

The lash may force men to physical labor, it cannot force them to spiritual creativity.
Sholem Asch

The sword conquered for a while, but the spirit conquers for ever!

After being in the business for such a long time, I've done everything but rodeo and porno.
Bea Arthur

But that's one of the nice things about doing a stage show, if something doesn't work out, you have the luxury of working on it over time.
Bea Arthur

I can't imagine working without and audience.
Bea Arthur

I feel I'm an actress who sings a bit.
Bea Arthur

I really cut my teeth on off-off-off Broadway shows.
Bea Arthur

I suddenly realized that comedy, for me, was just being honest, and playing it for real. I've seen so many wonderful actors who turn into creatures from another planet when they're told they are supposed to be playing comedy.
Bea Arthur

I... was not too happy to suddenly take on this public role thrust upon me. They just assumed I was the Joan of Arc of the women's movement. And I wasn't at all. It put a lot of unnecessary pressure on me.
Bea Arthur

Bea Arthur

No fruit. No veggie.

PETA has a proven track record of success. Each victory PETA wins for the animals is a stepping stone upon which we build a more compassionate world for all beings - and we will never give up our fight until all animals are treated with respect and kindness.
Bea Arthur

You know, I spend most of my life turning things down. There's a lot of crap out there.
Bea Arthur

Gemma Arterton Quotes

I'm looking at working with people I get on with, that respect me, that don't just see me as a piece of ass. Which I have experienced as well. I've nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don't want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do.
Gemma Arterton

My mother, she had a very good attitude toward money. I'm very grateful for the fact that we had to learn to save. I used to get like 50 pence a week, and I'd save it for like five months. And then I'd spend it on Christmas presents. I'd save up like eight pounds. It's nothing, but we did that.
Gemma Arterton

Antonin Artaud

I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the obsession of suicide, but I know that each conversation with a psychiatrist, every morning at the time of his visit, made me want to hang myself, realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat.
Antonin Artaud

It is not opium which makes me work but its absence, and in order for me to feel its absence it must from time to time be present.
Antonin Artaud

Never tire yourself more than necessary, even if you have to found a culture on the fatigue of your bones.
Antonin Artaud

No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.

So long as we have failed to eliminate any of the causes of human despair, we do not have the right to try to eliminate those means by which man tries to cleanse himself of despair.
Antonin Artaud

There is in every madman a misunderstood genius whose idea, shining in his head, frightened people, and for whom delirium was the only solution to the strangulation that life had prepared for him.
Antonin Artaud

Those who live, live off the dead.
Antonin Artaud

We must wash literature off ourselves. We want to be men above all, to be human.
Antonin Artaud

When we speak the word "life," it must be understood we are not referring to life as we know it from its surface of fact, but to that fragile, fluctuating center which forms never reach.
Antonin Artaud

Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others.
Antonin Artaud

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Quotes

I sow; my successor reaps. This is the majesty of democracy.

Kenneth Joseph Arrow Quotes

In 1963 and later papers, I pointed out that the special market characteristics of medical care and medical insurance could be explained by reference to differences in information among the parties involved.
Kenneth Joseph Arrow

My assignment was exclusively in the research field, and my first published paper, On the Optimal Use of Winds for Flight Planning, was the outgrowth of that work.
Kenneth Joseph Arrow

My graduate study was interrupted, like that of many others, by World War II.
Kenneth Joseph Arrow

My research, even before 1972, moved in directions beyond those cited for the Nobel Memorial Prize. Most of it, in one way or another, deals with information as an economic variable, both as to its production and as to its use.
Kenneth Joseph Arrow

My undergraduate education, at the City College in New York, was made possible only by the existence of that excellent free institution and the financial sacrifices of my parents.
Kenneth Joseph Arrow

Arrian Quotes

Our enemies are Medes and Persians, men who for centuries have lived soft and luxurious lives; we of Macedon for generations past have been trained in the hard school of danger and war. Above all, we are free men, and they are slaves.
Arrian

They must therefore not spoil Alexander's undertaking, especially when they were almost at the close of their toils, and were, moreover, no longer in any difficulty about provisions on their coasting cruise.
Arrian

They, astounded at the flash of the armor, and the swiftness of the charge, and attacked by showers of arrows and missiles, half naked as they were, never stopped to resist but gave way.
Arrian

Claude Arrau Quotes

An interpreter must give his blood to the work interpreted.
Claude Arrau

Since in music we deal with notes, not words, with chords, with transitions, with color and expression, the musical meaning always based on those notes as written and nothing else - has to be divined.
Claude Arrau

Rosanna Arquette Quotes

Art is such an important part of our culture.
Rosanna Arquette

Criticism really used to hurt me. Most of these critics are usually frustrated artists, and they criticise other people's art because they can't do it themselves. It's a really disgusting job. They must feel horrible inside.
Rosanna Arquette

Fortunately, we have a lot of really smart women in the business.
Rosanna Arquette

I do resent that when you're in the most cool, powerful time of your life, which is your 40s, you're put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they're older. So it's a drag that we're not allowed to age.
Rosanna Arquette

I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me.
Rosanna Arquette

I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.
Rosanna Arquette

I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked.
Rosanna Arquette

In Hollywood there are a lot of very insecure men running the business.
Rosanna Arquette

It's not fair that there aren't very many juicy or varied roles for women.
Rosanna Arquette

It's not fair the emphasis put on beauty, or on sexuality.
Rosanna Arquette

It's so hard to be a mother and to also want to practice your art.
Rosanna Arquette

It's so hard to have relationships when there is so much scrutiny.
Rosanna Arquette

It's so hard to keep everything balanced in life.
Rosanna Arquette

It's unfortunate that music has become such big business.
Rosanna Arquette

Look, it's to the point where kids are getting Botox. It's insane. We're not allowed to age.
Rosanna Arquette

Men want girls. Most men want little girls. They want them in film. They want to look at them. That's all they want. An evolved man is not going to look that way.
Rosanna Arquette

Most men are not that evolved.
Rosanna Arquette

Music used to change people's minds - and it still changes mine.
Rosanna Arquette

There will always be some kid who's the new Kurt Cobain writing great lyrics and singing from his soul. The problem is they're not marketing that anymore or putting it out there.
Rosanna Arquette

There's no way I'm going to put this kid in the movies, because of the rejection. It's so hard as an adult, so why set her up to feel that bad as a child?
Rosanna Arquette

Patricia Arquette Quottes

I don't have a goal but I just want to work on movies that I really like.
Patricia Arquette

I grew up in a hippie commune so I have a real hippie part of me.
Patricia Arquette

I liked the premise of this material. I love the marriage relationship. They kind of keep each other honest, and they enjoy each other's sense of humor. Kind of a sexy but boring relationship.
Patricia Arquette

Neither of us entered marriage thinking it wouldn't be a strain. Life has strains in it, and he's the person I want to strain with.
Patricia Arquette

We all have our own little thing, I think.
Patricia Arquette

David Arquette Quotes

The first horror film I remember seeing in the theatre was Halloween and from the first scene when the kid puts on the mask and it is his POV, I was hooked.
David Arquette

Yeah, I definitely wanted to do a kids' movie because I have a kid. I want to do things that my daughter can see soon - when she is old enough to know what a movie is.
David Arquette

Gerard Arpey Quotes

At American Airlines, we have built a business around the love of travel that has lasted three quarters of a century. And I'm pretty sure we're just getting started.
Gerard Arpey

But I definitely see us playing a major role in St. Louis in the years to come. We already provide service to 95 percent of the markets St. Louis travelers visit the most. And we're adding capacity in some of the most important markets.
Gerard Arpey

But I don't think the popularity of flying has diminished a bit.
Gerard Arpey

Despite the painful changes we have had to make, we continue to believe in the St. Louis market. And we are hoping to add flights, in a careful way, as the economics of our business improve and the demands of the traveling public in St. Louis become clear.
Gerard Arpey

First, we have to lower our costs to levels that are more competitive. This will prevent the lower-cost airlines from pushing us out of the markets we want to serve. We've made great progress on this front, but we need to keep pushing.
Gerard Arpey

However, the economics of our business continued to deteriorate. We barely escaped bankruptcy a year ago, and in the aftermath of that escape we had to make some even tougher decisions.
Gerard Arpey

I think in just about any business the low cost competitor is always going to have an advantage.
Gerard Arpey

Just to cover the increase in fuel costs over the past two years, American would have had to raise fares nearly $75 per round-trip ticket. During this time period, our average fare increased by only $15.
Gerard Arpey

Markets that don't work we're going to step away from.
Gerard Arpey

One of our most difficult realizations was that - in the course of two years - a connecting hub in St. Louis had gone from something we thought we needed to something we could no longer afford.
Gerard Arpey

Our Fly Smart philosophy is about investing only on those points of differentiation that pay for themselves, that earn a revenue premium commensurate with what it costs us to provide that product or service.
Gerard Arpey

Our planes should be full, which among other things means we have a golden opportunity... to build on the momentum reflected in the financial results we are reporting today.
Gerard Arpey

Second, we have to make the most of the strengths we have, the amenities that many of our competitors cannot replicate. But again, those advantages won't mean much if we don't do a great job with the basics of our business.
Gerard Arpey

That doesn't mean you have to have the lowest costs in the industry to succeed. But you need to make sure the activities and product attributes that increase your costs above the other guy bring in at least that much more in revenue, and hopefully more.
Gerard Arpey

The executive moves we are announcing today will strengthen American for the long-term future and reflect well on the depth of the Company's management team.
Gerard Arpey

These are times of unprecedented challenge and change in the airline industry, and the appointments we are announcing today will put American in an even stronger position to continue the substantial progress that has already been made under the tenets of our Turnaround Plan.
Gerard Arpey

This airline is grateful for his extensive contributions and we will miss his friendship and support. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Casey family on its personal loss.
Gerard Arpey

We continued the hard work of integrating TWA, because at that time we still thought an efficient connecting hub in St. Louis could be a profitable addition to our network.
Gerard Arpey

We have, unlike many of our competitors, continued to meet our various financial obligations.
Gerard Arpey

We need to take excellent care of our customers, and do so at a profit.
Gerard Arpey

Joe Arpaio Quotes

We learn by our problems. We correct our deficiencies if there are any.
Joe Arpaio

Jean Arp Quotes

Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Jean Arp

Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.
Jean Arp

Darren Aronofsky Quotes

Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do - every 24 frames of a second.
Darren Aronofsky

As filmmakers, we can show where a person's mind goes, as opposed to theater, which is more to sit back and watch it.
Darren Aronofsky

At the end of Requiem all I wanted to do was get a DV camera and just do a small film. But then the hunger comes back.
Darren Aronofsky

Casting ethnic characters is a very hard thing to do, but it's important. It's also interesting.
Darren Aronofsky

Comic books and graphic novels are a great medium. It's incredibly underused.
Darren Aronofsky

I couldn't sleep one night and I was sitting in my office and I realized that I was an independent filmmaker.
Darren Aronofsky

I had some big ups and downs when I was in my 20s and the one thing I learned was, no matter how low it gets, something good will come along - something always comes out of that dark period.
Darren Aronofsky

I hope that Requiem is better than Pi. I hope that Pi is better than my student films, and I'm hoping that I'm getting better as I get older.
Darren Aronofsky

I only want to work with actors that really get it and make it work. I didn't want it to be a star-driven thing anymore.
Darren Aronofsky

I think video games and that stuff should be as violent as possible, but age-appropriate. It should be realistic. When it's not realistic you run into kids running around shooting people and not realizing the consequences.
Darren Aronofsky

I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets. So I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on because then you can never really blame yourself for making the wrong choices. You can always say you're following your passion.
Darren Aronofsky

I was a TV junkie as a kid. I am the Sesame Street generation.
Darren Aronofsky

I'd like to do a lot of different stuff. I think it's important as a creative person to keep challenging yourself and keep doing new stuff. If you end up trying to repeat yourself it's death. It just becomes boring and takes the passion out of it. You gotta find stories and characters that you really want to hang out with.
Darren Aronofsky

I'm Godless. I've had to make my God, and my God is narrative filmmaking.
Darren Aronofsky

I'm not a comic book guy at all.
Darren Aronofsky

I've always wanted to introduce hip-hop filmmaking to film. There's hip-hop art, dance, music, but there really isn't hip-hop film. So I was trying to do that.
Darren Aronofsky

If you ask any person on this crew what they think of Hugh Jackman they'll admit they've never seen anything like it. I'll give him an emotional note and he'll hit it every time.
Darren Aronofsky

Now there is so much expertise and brainpower it's hard to be at the cutting edge of what's cool and not do something that's totally geeky.
Darren Aronofsky

Right after I did 'The Fountain,' I wanted to go make a documentary or something that was less constructed - more natural. I was searching for a project, and sniffing around, 'The Wrestler' fit right in.
Darren Aronofsky

There's always been a lot of pressure and tension on the line. If 'Pi' didn't work out, I have no idea what my career would be. I don't think I would have gotten another shot at it. If 'Requiem for a Dream' didn't work out, they would have called me a 'one-hit wonder with a sophomore slump'.
Darren Aronofsky

Raymond Aron Quotes

Foreknowledge of the future makes it possible to manipulate both enemies and supporters.
Raymond Aron

What passes for optimism is most often the effect of an intellectual error.
Raymond Aron

Sophie Arnould Quotes

They give themselves to God when the Devil will no longer have them.
Sophie Arnould

Tom Arnold Quotes

Environmentalists have a very conflicted relationship with their cars.
Tom Arnold

The nature of show business is people within the business feel that if someone else fails, they move up a notch.
Tom Arnold

Thomas Arnold Quotes

It was from an old friend who thought he was dying. Anyway, he said, 'Life and death issues don't come along that often, thank God, so don't treat everything like it's life or death. Go easier.'
Thomas Arnold

My object will be, if possible, to form Christian men, for Christian boys I can scarcely hope to make.
Thomas Arnold

One's age should be tranquil, as childhood should be playful. Hard work at either extremity of life seems out of place. At midday the sun may burn, and men labor under it; but the morning and evening should be alike calm and cheerful.
Thomas Arnold

Rather than have it the principal thing in my son's mind, I would gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament.
Thomas Arnold

Real knowledge, like everything else of value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for, studied for, thought for, and, more that all, must be prayed for.
Thomas Arnold

The difference between one man and another is not mere ability it is energy.
Thomas Arnold

Roseanne Barr Arnold Quotes

Birth control that really works - every night before we go to bed we spend an hour with our kids.
Roseanne Barr Arnold

I know how to do anything, I'm a mom.
Roseanne Barr Arnold

Matthew Arnold Quotes

And we forget because we must and not because we will.
Matthew Arnold

Bald as the bare mountain tops are bald, with a baldness full of grandeur.
Matthew Arnold

Because thou must not dream, thou need not despair.
Matthew Arnold

Conduct is three-fourths of our life and its largest concern.
Matthew Arnold

Culture is properly described as the love of perfection; it is a study of perfection.
Matthew Arnold

Culture is to know the best that has been said and thought in the world.
Matthew Arnold

For the creation of a masterwork of literature two powers must concur, the power of the man and the power of the moment, and the man is not enough without the moment.
Matthew Arnold

France, famed in all great arts, in none supreme.
Matthew Arnold

Greatness is a spiritual condition.
Matthew Arnold

Home of lost causes, and forsaken beliefs, and unpopular names, and impossible loyalties!
Matthew Arnold

It is almost impossible to exaggerate the proneness of the human mind to take miracles as evidence, and to seek for miracles as evidence.
Matthew Arnold

It is so small a thing to have enjoyed the sun, to have lived light in the spring, to have loved, to have thought, to have done.
Matthew Arnold

Journalism is literature in a hurry.
Matthew Arnold

Nature, with equal mind, Sees all her sons at play, Sees man control the wind, The wind sweep man away.
Matthew Arnold

Not a having and a resting, but a growing and becoming, is the character of perfection as culture conceives it.
Matthew Arnold

Our society distributes itself into Barbarians, Philistines and Populace; and America is just ourselves with the Barbarians quite left out, and the Populace nearly.
Matthew Arnold

Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things.
Matthew Arnold

Poetry; a criticism of life under the conditions fixed for such a criticism by the laws of poetic truth and poetic beauty.
Matthew Arnold

Resolve to be thyself: and know that he who finds himself, loses his misery.
Matthew Arnold

Sad Patience, too near neighbour to despair.
Matthew Arnold

Malcolm Arnold Quotes

Although I enjoyed writing Film Music it was always a means to an end, in that it enabled me to keep a wife and family and write my classical music, which has always been my passion.
Malcolm Arnold

Although, I am proud of all my Symphonies as they all have something special to say, my particular favourite is the Fifth. As the great Mahler expert Donald Mitchell said that if Mahler had written another Symphony, it would have been my Fifth!
Malcolm Arnold

Music is the social act of communication among people, a gesture of friendship, the strongest there is.
Malcolm Arnold

Edwin Arnold Quotes

Sleep - death without dying - living, but not life.
Edwin Arnold

There is no caste in blood.
Edwin Arnold

Within yourself deliverance must be searched for, because each man makes his own prison.
Edwin Arnold

Eddy Arnold Quotes

Don't be afraid to fall flat on your face.
Eddy Arnold

I'm trying to sell every audience something; that something is me.
Eddy Arnold

This is my seventh decade... and every once in a while I get a hankering to re-visit these songs again... songs with which I have had a great relationship.
Eddy Arnold

Touring is really a pretty lonely business.
Eddy Arnold

When I finally put my guitar in the case the last time, I want to be remembered just as a singer, not as a country singer or pops singer - just a singer.
Eddy Arnold

Eberhard Arnold Quotes

Every child is a thought in the mind of God, and our task is to recognize this thought and help it toward completion.
Eberhard Arnold

Only those who look with the eyes of children can lose themselves in the object of their wonder.
Eberhard Arnold

Peter Arno Quotes

I consider your conduct unethical and lousy.
Peter Arno

Tell me about yourself - your struggles, your dreams, your telephone number.
Peter Arno

Rudolf Arnheim Quotes

A system is in equilibrium when the forces constituting it are arranged in such a way as to compensate each other, like the two weights pulling at the arms of a pair of scales.
Rudolf Arnheim

All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention.
Rudolf Arnheim

As one gets older, it happens that in the morning one fails to remember the airplane trip to be taken in a few hours or the lecture scheduled for the afternoon.
Rudolf Arnheim

At one of the annual conventions of the American Society for Aesthetics much confusion arose when the Society for Anesthetics met at the same time in the same hotel.
Rudolf Arnheim

Entropy theory is indeed a first attempt to deal with global form; but it has not been dealing with structure. All it says is that a large sum of elements may have properties not found in a smaller sample of them.
Rudolf Arnheim

Entropy theory, on the other hand, is not concerned with the probability of succession in a series of items but with the overall distribution of kinds of items in a given arrangement.
Rudolf Arnheim

Furthermore, order is a necessary condition for making a structure function. A physical mechanism, be it a team of laborers, the body of an animal, or a machine, can work only if it is in physical order.
Rudolf Arnheim

Good art theory must smell of the studio, although its language should differ from the household talk of painters and sculptors.
Rudolf Arnheim

In a land of immigrants, one was not an alien but simply the latest arrival.
Rudolf Arnheim

In many instances, order is apprehended first of all by the senses.
Rudolf Arnheim

Man's striving for order, of which art is but one manifestation, derives from a similar universal tendency throughout the organic world; it is also paralleled by, and perhaps derived from, the striving towards the state of simplest structure in physical systems.
Rudolf Arnheim

Modem science, then, maintains on the one hand that nature, both organic and inorganic, strives towards a state of order and that man's actions are governed by the same tendency.
Rudolf Arnheim

Now equilibrium is the very opposite of disorder.
Rudolf Arnheim

Order is a necessary condition for anything the human mind is to understand.
Rudolf Arnheim

Rather than be asked to abandon one's own heritage and to adapt to the mores of the new country, one was expected to possess a treasure of foreign skills and customs that would enrich the resources of American living.
Rudolf Arnheim

The absurd consequences of neglecting structure but using the concept of order just the same are evident if one examines the present terminology of information theory.
Rudolf Arnheim

The arts, as a reflection of human existence at its highest, have always and spontaneously lived up to this demand of plenitude. No mature style of art in any culture has ever been simple.
Rudolf Arnheim

The clarification of visual forms and their organization in integrated patterns as well as the attribution of such forms to suitable objects is one of the most effective training grounds of the young mind.
Rudolf Arnheim

The foreign accent was a promise, and indeed, all over the country, European imports added spice to the sciences, the arts, and other areas. What one had to give was not considered inferior to what one received.
Rudolf Arnheim

The least touchable object in the world is the eye.
Rudolf Arnheim

Will Arnett Quotes

And I think that at a certain point, after all the time and all the conjecture and everything that had kind of gone on surrounding this show, I think that Mitch just felt like it was time to let it go. It was best for the show.
Will Arnett

And then we've got Blades of Glory, and we've got Brothers Solomon, and I've got a script in development with this guy Chuck Martin who used to write on Arrested, and, you know, we have a few things in various stages of development.
Will Arnett

And we... right from moment one, we were always kinda up against the wall a little bit when it came to the future of the show. There were always rumors.
Will Arnett

Arrested Development opened a lot of doors for me.
Will Arnett

Because I think a lot of people felt like, ultimately - and this isn't the first time I've said this, so I'll bore you again with it - but ultimately it was... I think it felt like homework a bit for people.
Will Arnett

But as a result of that, there was, once the show ended, there was this talk for sort of four, five months about what was going to happen, and if we were going to move to Showtime, and if we were going to be bought by ABC or whatever.
Will Arnett

But since day one, we've always been kinda up against it. So at the end, it's not surprising that we were kind of led along for so many months and didn't know what the fate of the show was gonna be. It was... in a weird way, just kind of that was the way it's always been.
Will Arnett

I mean, I gotta say one of the greatest victories on that show was when we got picked up for the back nine of the first season, and they made it a full order.
Will Arnett

It doesn't look great if you cancel the reigning Best Comedy Program, you know, you're gonna take a hit from a... from sort of a public relations standpoint.
Will Arnett

Look, I get it; you come home, you work hard, and you turn on your TV... You kind of want to escape a little bit and be taken away by something. Our show required you to pay attention, and if that's not what you wanted to do, then it wasn't going to be for you, and that's OK.
Will Arnett

Most shows, you really have to force it. And everybody's nervous, and the network is nervous, and they've all got their notepads out, and they're all going to give notes on what they think is funny, and everybody's trying to spin their jokes, and this was so - the script was so good that we didn't have to really do anything, and it made it so easy for us to do well.
Will Arnett

My first movie was this independent that I did on the Erie Canal in 1995, called Erie, that I don't know if you could even get, actually with Felicity Huffman. And then from that I did this film that was eventually called The Broken Giant later that fall. And then I kind of started getting into doing pilots.
Will Arnett

No, Arrested Development was such an amazing experience in every way, and you know it was very unique in that it was a show that received a lot of critical acclaim, and yet we didn't ever achieve the ratings that we wanted.
Will Arnett

The show had run its course on the Fox network.
Will Arnett

There's a lot of lying and these are people who are incredibly flawed, and not in very sort of empathetic ways, either. Some of the things they do are pretty awful and some of the things they do to each other are pretty awful.
Will Arnett

This pilot, by far, was the best I ever read - and I hope that insults every other pilot I worked on.
Will Arnett

Well, no, I didn't because I didn't even know the nominations were coming out. I gotta say, it wasn't even on my radar. I hadn't... I hadn't even thought about it.
Will Arnett

Well, we were never coming back to Fox... that was clear.
Will Arnett

Well, yeah. At a certain point, you've got to be really honest with yourself. Like, 'Why am I doing this? What are my motivations?' Like, if you get into it because you want to be famous? Then you've got a long row to hoe. But if you really feel like it's a labour of love and it's something you're actually legitimately good at, then it's not that hard to keep plugging away.
Will Arnett

When it sort of finally sets in that you're not going to be doing that anymore... it's disappointing.
Will Arnett
