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 am here because I think it was a terrible sin of the west to allow those years of war.
Paddy Ashdown
I can create institutions, but I can't rewrite the chips in people's heads.
Paddy Ashdown
I can establish the expectation of retributive justice. Have we done that? No.
Paddy Ashdown
I don't think Bosnia is ready for reconciliation, but I do think it is ready for truth.
Paddy Ashdown
I love this country, I love these people, though I can't say I love their politicians. People are always nicer than politicians, but here, you can mark that difference up a hundredfold.
Paddy Ashdown
I was told there would be riots in the streets, but there were no riots.
Paddy Ashdown
I've had much nastier things said about me in the British press than in the Bosnian press.
Paddy Ashdown
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 Quotes
Agents need to be free to pursue investigations in ways that they haven't. There have been restraints that a reformed FBI needs to make sure we don't impose.

John Ashcroft
Reasonable regulations regarding the ownership of weapons are appropriate.
John Ashcroft
The FBI has long been a part of the security for the nation's banks because bank robberies have been a priority.
John Ashcroft
The FBI. is a massive culture. It's been a culture that served America well, and it's been focused on prosecution. But what we need in terms of terrorism is prevention.
John Ashcroft
The Internet provides very serious challenges to our ability to keep from children the kinds of things that are destructive to them.
John Ashcroft
The liberties and freedoms which we hold dear and we recognize and cherish and respect guide the way we gather information in the United States.
John Ashcroft
The new rule says that the FBI has the right to go to public places on the same terms and conditions as other members of the public for counter-terrorism purposes.
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.

John Ashbery Quotes
I don't look on poetry as closed works. I feel they're going on all the time in my head and I occasionally snip off a length.
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.
John Ashbery
There is the view that poetry should improve your life. I think people confuse it with the Salvation Army.

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
I have also been saddened, though hardly surprised, by the weakness of the EU's reaction to the criminal attack on the Danish embassy in Syria, which seems to have been permitted, if not actively encouraged, by the Syrian regime.
Timothy Garton Ash
I love this country, but the union jack leaves me cold.

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.

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.

Antonin Artaud
Don't tire yourself more than need be, even at the price of founding a culture on the fatigue of your bones.
Antonin Artaud
Hell is of this world and there are men who are unhappy escapees from hell, escapees destined ETERNALLY to reenact their escape.
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

Antonin Artaud
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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Peter Arnett Quotes
I am still in shock and awe at being fired.
Peter Arnett
I'd like to say from the beginning that the 12 years I've been coming here, I've met unfailing courtesy and cooperation, courtesy from your people and cooperation from the Ministry of Information.
Peter Arnett
Our reports about civilian casualties here, about the resistance of the Iraqi forces, are going back to the United States. It helps those who oppose the war when you challenge the policy to develop their arguments.
Peter Arnett
President Bush says he is concerned about the Iraqi people, but if Iraqi people are dying in numbers, then American policy will be challenged very strongly.
Peter Arnett
Right-wing media and politicians are looking for any opportunity to be critical of the reporters who are here. Some reporters make judgments, but that is not my style. I present both sides and report what I see with my own eyes.
Peter Arnett
The first war plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance. Now they are trying to write another war plan. Clearly, the American war planners misjudged the determination of the Iraqi forces.

Johann Arndt Quotes
But since the world, which thou art to strive against, is not without thee, but within thee, it follows, that it is also to be conquered not without, but within thee.
Johann Arndt
Consider then, O man! whether there can be anything more wretched and poor, more naked and miserable, than man when he dies, if he be not clothed with Christ's righteousness, and enriched in his God.
Johann Arndt
For even these are no less bestowed on him of pure grace, than are righteousness and salvation themselves.
Johann Arndt
In short, all things that please the natural man in this world, are, to a true Christian, only so many crosses and temptations, allurements of sin and snares of death, that continually exercise his virtue.
Johann Arndt
It certainly is the duty of every true Christian, to esteem himself a stranger and pilgrim in this world; and as bound to use earthly blessings, not as means of satisfying lust or gratifying wantonness, but of supplying his absolute wants and necessities.
Johann Arndt
This truth is a remedy against spiritual pride, namely, that none should account himself better before God than others, though perhaps adorned with greater gifts, and endowments.
Johann Arndt
Whatever man uses without the fear of God, whatever he applies to the mere gratifying of his flesh, cannot fail to operate as a poison to the soul, however pleasant and salutary it may appear to be to the body.
Johann Arndt
Yet, so far from laboring to know the forbidden tree of worldly pleasures and its various fruits, man gives himself up to a careless and thoughtless state of life, and yields to the lust of the flesh, not considering that this lust is really the forbidden tree.

Desi Arnaz Quotes
A single prop that does not look real to an audience can louse you up. The same is true of the smallest flaw in setting up the motivation in a story line.
Desi Arnaz
Al Jolson was one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived.
Desi Arnaz
American people have the ability to laugh at themselves. It is one of the things that makes this country the great country that it is.
Desi Arnaz
An actor who is good at comedy can also be very good at drama, but not necessarily vice versa.
Desi Arnaz
An audience is so important. I would never have had the guts to dub in that big a laugh.
Desi Arnaz
At times we were criticized for doing too much slapstick. I don't believe in mild comedy, and neither does Lucy.
Desi Arnaz
Drinking intensifies all your pressures and your needs.
Desi Arnaz
Everyone seemed to be doing well except me and my career. And my accent was no helping me any.
Desi Arnaz
Failure is the most terrible thing in our business. When we fail, the whole world knows about it.

Good things do not come easy. The road is lined with pitfalls.
Desi Arnaz
I don't think anyone can tell you what it is that makes you a star.
Desi Arnaz
I had started calling her Lucy shortly after we met; I didn't like the name Lucille. That's how our television show was called I Love Lucy, not Lucille.
Desi Arnaz
I learned a lot from Xavier Cugat.
Desi Arnaz
I learned a lot in those first years in Miami, while struggling just for survival, by observing my father's fortitude.
Desi Arnaz
I went to high school with Al Capone.
Desi Arnaz
Joe McCarthy and his Senate hearings were like witch-hunts.
Desi Arnaz
Lucy and I would love furiously and fight furiously.
Desi Arnaz
Lucy is such a perfectionist.
Desi Arnaz
Motion-picture studio floors used to be all wooden and not smooth at all. This was difficult when moving a camera around on a dolly.
Desi Arnaz
My Latin temper blows up pretty fast, but it goes down just as fast. Maybe that's why you seldom hear of ulcers in Latin America.

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 am here because I think it was a terrible sin of the west to allow those years of war.
Paddy Ashdown
I can create institutions, but I can't rewrite the chips in people's heads.
Paddy Ashdown
I can establish the expectation of retributive justice. Have we done that? No.
Paddy Ashdown
I don't think Bosnia is ready for reconciliation, but I do think it is ready for truth.
Paddy Ashdown
I love this country, I love these people, though I can't say I love their politicians. People are always nicer than politicians, but here, you can mark that difference up a hundredfold.
Paddy Ashdown
I was told there would be riots in the streets, but there were no riots.
Paddy Ashdown
I've had much nastier things said about me in the British press than in the Bosnian press.
Paddy Ashdown
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.
