Richard Phillips

When we can't determine what is art - when you get to that point where we're not sure, that's the greatest likelihood that we're actually experiencing something great.

Jarrett J. Krosoczka

So I keep singing my song.

When it comes to a big game, a national championship game, either a five hundred or thousand dollar board.

Katie Lowes

If you can find a group of women, any age, who are supportive and kind and love you, that's the best. I have a group of girlfriends that I would lay in front of a bus for. They've picked me up through really, really bad times and I can definitely say I've done the same for them.

But everything became known later.

Tim O'Brien

Working as a journalist, I was always tempted to lie. I felt I could do dialogue better than the person I was interviewing. I felt I could lie better than Nixon and be more concise than some random person I was covering.

President Nixon has lost his effectiveness as the leader of this country, primarily because he has lost the confidence of the people.

Gene Kimmelman

What they're doing is combining local telephone monopolies from the Rio Grande all the way to the Great Lakes plus California. These are markets that have not been opened to competition.

Mark Fraser

When we first opened we wanted the restaurant to be slow- paced, the bar area with its couches to be medium-paced and this bit to be fast-paced. That's why we had square tables and wooden padded chairs here. The furniture wasn't bad but it was harder than it is now. Then we had a rethink and decided that really we didn't want anywhere in here to feel as though there should be a quick turnaround, so we moved in round tables and curved, leather seats.

Tom Coulson

When we first opened we had only six school buses. Now we have 24.

S. E. Hinton

What he gave us was a lot of rebounding and push at the basket. He has a very good quick step, which allows him to get to the basket, and that opened up a lot of things for the other guys, as well.

Bruce Bochy

We broke down in the eighth inning. That opened up the floodgates. ... We were playing flawless ball until the eighth.

Ellen Bogard

We're going to replace them all just to make sure.

Kristen Kinley

When we have seen the fire reports increasing, we have recalled those vehicles and replaced those switches. Ford has used the basic switch design in a large number of vehicles and the risk of fire related to the switch is much different in those certain populations that we have recalled.

Pat Leahy

What a great honor it is for all of us - Republicans, Democrats and independents - to serve in this body. Only 100 of us get a chance to do it at any given time. Some day we will be replaced by others. What an honor it is to be here, but what a responsibility.

P. J. Harvey

What happens with these guys (organizations) is it's very hard to find a successor. When the charismatic founder goes away, who's going to replace him?

Matt McGowan

We graduated our top five boys, too, so we're searching for people to replace those points.

Brian Peterson

We believe we are in a period of new demand for products made from the corn wet milling starch stream as we find opportunities to replace products derived from high-priced petroleum. The strong demand should lead to improved long-term returns from corn processing operations.

David Garrow

Judge Roberts has a combination of substantive expertise and stylistic smoothness ... He's likely to fly through this without anyone laying a fingernail on him.

Richard Schickel

Leone provided that, primarily through stylistic devices. One of the things I like about Leone's Westerns is that he'll spend a very long time on the preliminaries to a gunfight. But then, once they exchange shots, it's very quick, much quicker than the typical walk-down in an American Western. All of that preparation is fabulous. It's kind of funny, and it's very suspenseful.

Richard Schickel

Leone provided that, primarily through stylistic devices, ... One of the things I like about Leone's Westerns is that he'll spend a very long time on the preliminaries to a gunfight. But then, once they exchange shots, it's very quick, much quicker than the typical walk-down in an American Western. All of that preparation is fabulous. It's kind of funny, and it's very suspenseful.

Nina Garcia

Each moment calls for a different stylistic essence and a different sense of impact, and mastery of this balance is an art form - a very learnable art form.

Anna Chlumsky

We're at this place where we're pushing the next stylistic envelope.

Larry Sabato

This is both a substantive and a stylistic problem for Bush. Stylistically, he needs to convince people that he is in charge now and he gets it now .

Emily Campbell

Speech and debate are not just a stylistic skill. I so whole heartily believe that kids, by the time they graduate, need to be able to get up in front of a group and say something meaningful. That translates into all courses and all manners of life.

Paul Harding

Write as precisely and as lucidly and as richly as you can about what you find truly mysterious and irreducible about human experience, and not obscurely about what will prove to be received opinion or cliche once the reader figures out your stylistic conceit. There's all the difference in the world between mystery and mystification.

Penelope Lively

Since then, I have just read and read - but, that said, I suppose there is a raft of writers to whom I return again and again, not so much because I want to write like them, even if I were capable of it, but simply for a sort of stylistic shot in the arm.

Edmund White

Tom Cargill

What he'll be hoping to do is emulate what leaders in other African countries where reputations have suddenly taken a knock, and that is ride it out.

Steve Wagner

We find it incredible that a man surrounded by two sober officers was able to suddenly sit up and pull a 15-inch knife from behind his back, swivel around and come out of bed in one motion.

Douglas Brinkley

What makes 'American Pie' so unusual is that it isn't a relic from the counterculture but a talisman, which, like a sacred river, keeps bringing joy to listeners everywhere. When 'American Pie' suddenly is played on a jukebox or radio, it's almost impossible not to sing along.

Ken Rice

Years from now, when I think about working with Jen, I will remember cracking up during the commercials and having to suddenly sober up in time for the news to come back on. We could press each other's buttons. She knew exactly what I thought was funny. A lot of times we were giggling within seconds of the camera going on.

Chellie Pingree

With Net Neutrality, the level playing field that gave us Google, YouTube and eBay when they were start-ups would suddenly start to tilt in favor of the big, established players.

Chris Miller

We're not all in a position to suddenly show up in New Orleans and start handing out supplies, but you do what you can with what you have. I'm a radio guy. So I tried to put together something that would drive people to help out with the Red Cross.

Ludivine Sagnier

I'd say people recognize me, but having children recognize me is the best. It is a very special thing. Suddenly you feel like you have the power to make the children's dreams come true, and it's better than anything else.

Dick Lampman

We've always had a more pragmatic view of our business. You can describe our mission in two words: technology transfer.

Linda Lightfoot

When we were dealing with the paper world and you were allowed to see the file, you could view the ideas that went into policy development. E-mail is very easy to be lost, and it is a lot more difficult to follow.

Charles Thomson

We remain of the view that the PO inquiry is policyholders' best hope for government compensation, and whatever the outcome, the inquiry should bring independence and some finality to the question of regulatory maladministration.

Ian Shepherdson

We remain of the view that the Fed's near-term objective is simply to support the stock market until consumer and business sentiment improves,

Sherry Cooper

We remain of the view that next week's rate hike will not be the Fed's last work this cycle. Indeed, they will likely eventually unwind all of last fall's crisis-induced easing.

Phil Forest

We're spending more time on our computers. Even though television viewing is up, there is still a percentage that they're losing. If they put programs on the Internet, they can capture more of the audience. That's one of the key factors driving the networks.

Ignacio Bunye

We respect the views of the former general, appreciate his sense of nationalism and share his concerns about the plight of our people. But this quixotic declaration is pathetic and unfortunate.

Justin Martineau

We're going to the summit as students and community members to state our side and make our point of view known to the general community, seeing as the ONDCP isn't going to provide that perspective to the community.

Anne Finch

Did I, my lines intend for public view,How many censures, would their faults pursue,Some would, because such words they do affect,Cry they're insipid, empty, uncorrect.And many, have attained, dull and untaught,The name of wit, only by finding fault.True judges, might condemn their want of wit,And all might say, they're by a woman writ.

Kacey Musgraves

When I was nine, I was singing western swing: Roy Rogers and Patsy Cline. It got me noticed because no one my age was doing it, but it made me feel inferior because none of my friends could relate to it.

Mike Carter

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

Martin Rees

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.

Jerry Stackhouse

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.

David Phillips

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.

Peter Hall

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.

Ed Rendell

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.

James Arness

What made us different from other westerns was the fact that 'Gunsmoke' wasn't just action and a lot of shooting; they were character-study shows.

Avery Johnson

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.
