Western Quotations | Page 3

I think some of my favorite Australian films were shot by people that are not Australian. And I think when Dean Semler did 'Dances with Wolves,' for instance, that's a very different-looking Western than what you've seen much of before. It's very rich, color-wise. But we've got our own very proud thing going on.

Behind the criticism of fashion as an artistic medium is a highly ideological prejudice: against markets, against consumers, against the dynamism of Western commercial society. The debate is not about art but about culture and economics.

My children grew up with one Western parent. My husband doesn't believe in raising his voice with the kids and we don't spank. They were really raised in a half-Asian family.

In the Western tradition, the first writers were teachers and historians, vastly traveled, who spiced their reports with fantasies. They were also poets who sang and entertained prince and pauper.

I was born Muslim, but for a large part of my life, I wasn't necessarily raised Muslim. My father always kept everything around us, from Western philosophy to Eastern philosophy.

It's pretty obvious that Western lifestyles which rely on gigantic amounts of electricity use up far more resources than a subsistence-based life. A little more poverty would be a good thing.

In the case of the classic Western helicopter parent, it starts with Baby Einstein and reward charts for toilet training, and it never really ends, which is why colleges have to devote so many resources to teaching parents how to leave their kids alone.

Palestine, as Icelanders see it, includes the Western Wall of the Second Temple, Judaism's holiest site.

My father was a schoolteacher, and so I had the advantage of both western educational instruction in the school, as well as what you might call the process of imbibing the traditional processes of education instruction around me.

Western democracies exalt the ideal of social equality, but our economic system arguably emerged from 16th-century Calvinism, a religion whose members believed that God showed favor by bestowing wealth and other forms of success on what they called 'the chosen.'

Europe began as the relatively empty, uncivilized Wild West of Asia; then the Western Hemisphere became the Wild West of Europe. Now the sun has set in our West and risen once more in the East.

If you consider film an art form, as some people do, then the Western would be a truly American art form, much as jazz is.

As much as I love the Western genre, I figured if I kept doing those, I'd eventually run out of steam on that, and that would've been the end of it.

The Knesset is in Israel, and the Western Wall is in Israel, and the sooner the Obama administration realizes this, the closer it will be to a Middle East policy worthy of our country and its long alliance with our ally in Jerusalem - which is, actually, the capital of the state of Israel.

We are proud to welcome the Best Western Chincoteague Island to our chain.

We are proud to welcome the Best Western All Star Inn and Suites to our chain. We are excited to raise the Best Western Flag in Chatsworth and offer guests another quality lodging option in Southern California.

We are pleased to retain the excellent technical expertise of Don Foot in a position of responsibility and impact.

Likewise, Dr. Nelson adds a tremendous dimension of knowledge and technical capability to our board of directors.

We believe that the completion techniques that further improved our drilling economics in Johnson County can be applied to our acreage in the western counties where we have seen improved drilling results over the past three months. This provides the assurance to actively pursue development in these areas.

When I talk to friends about Western Kentucky University, I brag about how good they have been.

To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one. Superpower rivalry during the Cold War ramped up U.S. and Soviet space efforts to a scale that Western Europe had no motive to match.

We're spoiled. We're at a point now where we expect to win them all. We're among the top teams in the Western Conference, if not the top team. We expect to win all the time.

What we're saying is from Vancouver to Thunder Bay, Ont., that western part of Canada is looking like it'll be warmer than normal, so it's a continuation of what the fall has been like.

We find in most of Western countries slow economic growth, which means that jobs are being created slowly and that generous social benefits systems developed in the 1960s and 1970s are often unaffordable. So in one way or another, all of these countries face this problem.

We believe we're ready for them, ... We wanted to make sure we were ready before anybody came. We want the people of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to welcome them as folks who have been through hell in the last week. We want to show them a little bit of Western Pennsylvania heaven when they get here.

Very few teams go there. I think that's a great accomplishment. In our league, and in the Western Conference particularly, 50 wins means a lot.

We're expanding our niche in student housing properties in the Western United States and are looking to buy more large-scale multifamily and student apartment housing properties of 200 or more units.

The piddling ignoramuses who deny that there is a distinct, discernible, objective western tradition are just woozy literati.

Would any of you like to guess what was driving the commentary and all the chatter in all the talk shows in Western Europe that weekend? You know what it was? It was the death penalty case in California!

We're seeing basically complete distrust in financial accounting in the Western Hemisphere. People are going to pack it up and go.

We have to get as many points as can right now. We have to get some separation. We have a lot of teams playing each other in the Western Conference. We are going to gain some ground on someone.

We want our fans to enjoy Spartan football home and away. This game fits our new philosophy of playing as many Western teams as possible and USC is the best there is at this point. It will be exciting for San Jose State to play against them.

We want to stay in Cottage Grove. Ninety-nine percent of our customers come from the western side (of U.S. 61). It's not an option to move it to (the eastern) side.

I'm not into western medicine. That to me is a complete scare tactic.

We were in a situation we could have lost this game. We were in the same situation we were in when we lost to Western Carolina (in the final game) last season. But these guys went out there and won this one.

Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.

We accomplished a lot this year. We won 14 games, which I think is overachieving. We beat (ULL) twice and Western Kentucky, which was a big win for our program.

We really emphasize how big these Western Division games are. We are the Western Division champs and we want to come out here and defend our title. So we wanted to come out here and play this game strong and we did.

We hope we're back, as like any Western Conference team that's going to playoffs. But we've got too much work to do.

We hope to dispel some of the myths, identify knowledge gaps, sort out some of the issues related to juniper woodland expansion and increase the overall understanding of western juniper place and function in the northern Great Basin.

We have so many cyber-dissidents in jail that we are trying to get out of there, and knowing that some of them are in jail with the help of Western companies is really frustrating. It's one thing to want to make money, to make profits. It's quite another one to become a weapon in the hands of the Chinese authorities.

There is a lot of evidence to back up the assertion that war fiction takes time. Many all-time classics of the genre, from Erich Maria Remarque's 'All Quiet on the Western Front' to Joseph Heller's 'Catch-22' to Tim O'Brien's 'The Things They Carried,' took over a decade to pen.

We live in a Western way of doing things. There is a different understanding what speed is there. We have to respect that.

Westerns pop up every so often, everybody does a western and then they all die.

Left to my own imagination, I could never have composed a scenario that was anywhere as interesting as my life has been: starting out as an eager altar boy, a good Boy Scout, a relatively docile Dominican brother and priest, receiving an advanced degree in spirituality, teaching bishops and many others around the world about our Western spiritual tradition, and then ending up being expelled from the Dominican order.

Lee Ann Womack is from near where I grew up in East Texas, so I've always looked up to her. I sang a lot of Dolly Parton as a kid and a lot of traditional western swing, like Patsy Cline and Roy Rogers.

So far, the Chinese who have seen my work tend to see a mix of Eastern and Western cultures.

So many people think the Revolutionary War started at Lexington and Concord. But George Washington wouldn't have been on the national stage without the events that happened here in Western Pennsylvania during the French and Indian War.

She's an incredible player. I was thinking if they go to her every time, we're in trouble. I don't know how Western Illinois coaches, but I would almost be like, 'Don't anybody else shoot it. Just give it to her.

She's open to new ideas and opportunities and will be a natural for creating partnerships with Western Connecticut State University and capitalizing on the rich resources the university brings. Most importantly, she puts children first in all of her educational decision making.

She's just giving us a real good drenching. It's really going to alleviate drought conditions in central and western parts of the state.

She is not a star in the traditional western or Hollywood sense of being a celebrity,

Most of us think of obesity as a problem of rich and western industrialized countries. But our data shows that it also affects low and middle income countries especially people living in cities,

Most people think that classical music is a higher form than jazz only because it is from Europe, and we were taught in schools only about Western European history.

Most people are explicitly racists. In parts of the world - so called educated, so-called western society - we've learned that it is not polite to be racist, and so often we don't express racist views, but... Racism is one of the big issues in the world today. Racism is the big social problem in the United States.

Neither Western donor countries like the U.S. nor poor recipients like Cameroon care much about Africans who are poor, rural and female.

One flush of today's Western toilet would provide enough water for washing, cooking and eating for one person in a developing country.

Obviously, Western played very physically. They really did a terrific job of defending us and defending the key components of our offense. They're to be commended for being able to do that. They did a great job.

No. No I felt terrible for our customers. I felt terrible for the problems that they had. I understand putting 50 dollars of gas in your tank is a real problem. There was no price gouging in Western New York.

My argument is simple, which is, that for several thousand years in Western civilization, marriage has been the union of one man and one woman. Research is overwhelming that children need mothers and fathers.

Moscow hopes to use energy as a trump card to persuade the Western leaders that it's a powerful player to reckon with.

Morocco has a lot to do in terms of democracy. The daily practice of democracy evolves in time. Trying to apply a Western democratic system to a country of the Maghreb, the Middle East, or the Gulf would be a mistake. We are not Germany, Sweden or Spain.

My goal is to make it back to the state meet again. I also want to finish high in the conference, but the Western Lakes is very strong this year. Livonia Churchill will be good again and Walled Lake Central didn't graduate anyone and they were sixth in the state last year. I expect Northville and Livonia Stevenson to be strong, too.

My history teacher could make us feel like he was imparting rare gossip to us when he was talking about Maria Theresa and the Habsburgs. I just loved that sense of - the Western canon is here, and it's gossipy and tawdry, and everyone is sort of goofy.

Now that I am living in God's gift to earth, the isothermal range of the Blue Ridge Mountains that runs down the border line of Western North and South Carolina, my mind is geared up for production.

Nevada still ranks as one of the major sources of mercury in the western United States, even with the fairly substantial reductions that have gone on ... probably the third largest state. I think we just went under California. Texas and California are the No. 1 and 2 states. But we're No. 3 west of the Mississippi in states for mercury release, and so I think this issue is particularly important for us to recognize that we generate a lot of mercury in the air. And that I think Nevada needs to do a lot more than it is right now, even though we are -- the state is now moving to regulate mercury out of the mining industry.

Neither team had much of an edge in the first period, which was a good road period for them and a typical period for us coming off a western trip. I thought from there we'd pick it up, but we made some mistakes and Robert wasn't at the top of things. ... We didn't have enough zip in us to score five or six goals.

News conferences that two years ago would have attracted 60, 80 or 100 Western journalists now get 10, 15 or less.

People who would put ketchup in the sauce they feed to innocent children are capable of most anything. Let the word go forth from this time and place that we, the Eastern North Carolina purveyors of pure barbecue, will not be roadkill for our western kin.

Nick is so hungry for a championship. I remember when we lost to San Antonio in the Western Conference finals. I had never really seen Nick that emotional. All he had on his mind was trying to get back ... trying to get back. I think that's why when that trade happened he took it so hard.

Nichols is attracting companies that want to establish a beachhead in western Maine as a way to test the waters.

Next yearn there will be other areas we address. For instance, it looks like a strong year for offensive linemen in Western Pennsylvania. We'll look closely at that.

Nobody can really speak about prehistory without mentioning Cyprus. It was a filter. It took technology from the Middle East and redistributed it to the western world.

Nobody is one asking Western companies to go and lobby the Chinese government to change its behavior. That's not possible. But what we are asking companies to do is change the way in which they respond to Chinese government behavior and the way in which they interact with it, and that they can control.

Nineteen percent of homes in Western Europe are already cellular-only. Cellular operators should be encouraged to see that a further 18 percent of cellular users with fixed telephones are also considering disconnecting that fixed line. Younger users will be key targets for cellular operators, with older users in family units showing strong interest in triple plays and quad plays.

Nineteen percent of homes in Western Europe are already 'cellular-only'; cellular operators should be encouraged to see that a further 18 percent of cellular users with fixed telephones are also considering disconnecting that fixed line.

One of the many fun things I find is that there are a lot more women in management here than in western Europe,

One of the most painful things in the Western States and Territories is the extinction of childhood. I have never seen any children - only debased imitations of men and women, cankered by greed and selfishness, and asserting and gaining complete independence of their parents at ten years old.

I was standing in the old Western Studio 3 in Los Angeles looking at record albums. I saw a Johnny Rivers album with a song whose title intrigued me. I didn't know if 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix' was about the town or about the mythological bird coming out of the ashes.

I was surprised. I honestly thought we would play either Western Harnett or Dudley. In my past experiences, we have always been paired with somebody farther west.

I would recommend the NBA show it to all of its young players. These Texas Western guys paved the way, and a lot of these guys don't even know it.
