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.

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

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
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.

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.

Roger Ascham
In mine opinion, love is fitter than fear, gentleness better than beating, to bring up a child rightly in learning.
Roger Ascham
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.

Mark all mathematical heads which be wholly and only bent on these sciences, how solitary they be themselves, how unfit to live with others, how unapt to serve the world.

Sholem Asch Quotes
An illness is like a journey into a far country; it sifts all one's experience and removes it to a point so remote that it appears like a vision.

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

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.

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.

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 Quotes
All true language is incomprehensible, like the chatter of a beggar's teeth.
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
No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.
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.

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.

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

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

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

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 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.
