Award Quotes
I'm here, I think, under kind of false pretenses, and I think I have to become straight with you. Ten years ago, 11 years ago, I had a heart transplant -- a total heart transplant. I got the heart of, I think, a young woman who was about in her late 30s. So, by that calculation, you may be giving me this award too early, because I think I got about 40 years left on it -- and I intend to use it.

Army Quotes
We really opened up for the film of King George, but then the places where its characters lived and worked cried out to be opened up. The world of this story is the school, so the big decision we took was not to twist ourselves in knots trying to give it a false sense of scale. Closed worlds like schools, army bases, prisons or hospitals are fantastic, because they stand as a microcosm for a bigger world.

Anybody Quotes
You know, the sad part of it is, people get the wrong idea, with all these crazy movies. They get a false impression of the lifestyle we live, ... We are just as human and as regular as anybody else. A cloister means there is a certain sense of privacy. It's not a jail. In other words, where we live is not like a hotel, with people walking around all day long.

Anxious Quotes
We plan to rebuild as the city rebuilds. New Orleans is an important city to us. We have employees who are anxious to get back to work, but we don't want to give anyone false hope for when we will start more flights. We're looking at this much as we would look at a new startup city. We'll watch the trends.

Cynicism Quotes
There is a very big difference in where the two parties will take America, ... I sometimes get distressed by our friends in the media because they try to reduce everything to gossip, scandal-mongering and cynicism that I think is profoundly false for this country's future. There is an enormous difference in the two parties. We would go two very different places.

Act Quotes
The conversation between the president and Ms. Lewinsky on December 17 was a critical turning point. The evidence suggests that the president chose to engage in a criminal act -- to reach an understanding with Ms. Lewinsky that they would both make false statements under oath. At that moment, the president's intimate relationship with a subordinate employee was transformed. It was transformed into an unlawful effort to thwart the judicial process. This was no longer an issue of private conduct.

Debate Quotes
There are many voices telling us to halt this debate, that the people are weary of it all, ... There are other voices suggesting we have a duty to debate the many questions raised by the circumstances in which we find ourselves, questions of high consequence for constitutional government.... What is the significance of a false statement under oath? Is it essentially different from a garden variety lie? A mental reservation? A fib? An evasion? A little white lie? Hyperbole?

China Quotes
The reason why China forecasting has such a poor track record is that Westerners constantly invoke the model and experience of the West to explain China, and it is a false prophet. Until we start trying to understand China on its own terms, rather than as a Western-style nation in the making, we will continue to get it wrong.

Adequately Quotes
We alleged that the Rocker Defendants paid for and edited false and libelous reports from Gradient, pre-positioning themselves to profit from the expected downturn in Overstock's share price. We do not believe the legislature of California, in passing the Anti-SLAPP statute, had in mind protecting libelous speech -- bought and paid for by those who stood to profit handsomely from this type of activity. We believe the case law is on our side and are confident we have adequately answered the motions to move this case forward.

Dance Quotes
What I want to say to teenagers is, 'Do everything you can to see this movie, use your false I.D.'s and do what ever it is you have to do. Because not only will you love the rock 'n' roll parts of it and the dance parts of it, but the message, which is you don't have to sell your soul in order to stay alive, is one that will echo in the hearts of teenagers everywhere.

Came Quotes
When I reached the concrete area, about 15 or 20 meters from the first row of chairs, I did not realize that there was a relatively high curb from the pavement to the crowd. My left foot came down into the air, because of the difference in height. The momentum, and the law of gravity discovered some time ago by Newton, caused me, when I took that false step, to plunge forward until I fell, in a fraction of a second, onto the pavement.

Attempt Quotes
Bogus arguments are going out to delay the inevitable competition. Our competitors are making false accusations to attempt to maintain their monopoly. We will continue to offer communities the same benefits as other companies, and government, public and educational channels will still be provided. Also we will be paying higher franchise fees to the municipalities, and that's money that they may need in the community.
