Wayne Coyne

We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago. A lot of bands can't do that because they don't have their own recordings. But we've always recorded ourselves, so it's a matter of me just going to the back room and grabbing the tapes and sort of putting them back on the reel. It's a weird treat.

Bill Lovette

We're making this investment to help meet continued, strong demand for refrigerated and pre-cooked bacon.

I think it's been my work ethic. I've just been a hard worker, a guy that's always trying to be positive and put a positive swing on things sometimes even in the darkest moments. And I think people can relate to that being a blue-collar guy. My game is a blue-collar game. Three yards and a cloud of dust and get up and do it again. That's the way in the Midwest, especially Detroit, which is a very, very blue-collar town. I think people relate to that, as well as Pittsburgh.

Christopher Hill

It gives no one any pleasure that the DPRK is literally one of the darkest countries in the world,

Doug Wright

I think he's a great millennial figure because he represents one of the darkest extremes of Western culture, ... I think he wrote in uncharted waters. His writing is pitch black, and I don't think any writer before or since had touched bottom in the human psyche. I think Sade goes there and goes there relentlessly.

Bob Nardelli

The Home Depot has an extensive history of providing support to our communities as they recover from natural disasters.

As always, our associates shine their brightest when our communities face their darkest hours.

David Archer

What's most tragic is that this denial of basic education leads to over 1 million unnecessary child and maternal deaths a year.

The really good thing about 'Sleepy Hollow' is you have no idea who's going to die when... But then equally, we showed in the pilot several people can come back to life, so you have no idea who's going to come back. Death means very little in our Sleepy Hollow, so expect more surprise deaths and more surprise resurrections.

Bill Nygren

I have had numerous interviews with reporters who called looking for quotes about tech bargains. I always explain that we believe the best values today are in growing companies outside of the technology sector....To these reporters, it defies common sense that stocks that have declined 80 percent or more are not yet 'values.' That is a testament to how powerful and unprecedented the technology mania was. Even after such large price declines, most of these stocks are still not cheap.

Chris Benz

I'd call my work 'instinctual design.' I like to find the spirit of a piece that defies time, age, and occasion. My clothes give the wearer the chance to develop their own voice within a wardrobe, and I think of them as curators of their personal style.

Bill Gleason

God really has cursed the sports fans of Chicago. It defies the law of averages when you think about it: 1908 and 1917. God didn't want it to happen. But if the White Sox ever win again, they'll probably set off a hydrogen bomb.

Emily Dickinson

Peter Beutel

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It's hard to tell at what point consumers will start to balk. It defies the laws of economics.

Bob Bork

It defies understanding, from our perspective. One can speculate, one, that the ACLU has been captured by the homosexual-rights movement, and so therefore they are attacking the Boy Scouts and friends of the Boy Scouts as a way of punishing us for having rights that the Supreme Court has affirmed. The other thing that is interesting is that they're attacking our friends. They go after our relationships with the Defense Department, with schools and school boards - and they sue those people, but they don't sue us. They think maybe that's a way of hurting us and hurting our friends for having relationships with us.

Gennady Zyuganov

It defies the nation's history and commonsense. With their filthy hands and drunken heads they are crawling into the sanctuary of the state.

When we first started the band here in LA, Janes Addiction was the band we looked up to. They came out at a time when there was a lot of glam rock and hair bands and they got put into that category, but they stood out because they were doing their own thing. We were kind of caught in the same kind of situation at another time: there were a lot of new-metal bands and wed get put into that category even though we didnt fit. Its funny that now theres bands like Mars Volta doing this prog-rock thing thats kinda getting popular, people put us in that genre now. That may be closer to the truth, but I think Hypnotized is going to go further in terms of getting people to understand what were doing.

Peter Shirlow

Imagination, whatever may be said to the contrary, will always hold a place in history, as truth does in romance. Has not romance been penned with history in view?

Alan Bennett

A book is a device to ignite the imagination.

Al Alvarez

Despite the hundreds of attempts, police terror and the concentration camps have proved to be more or less impossible subjects for the artist; since what happened in them was beyond the imagination, it was therefore also beyond art and all those human values on which art is traditionally based.

Susan Dunn

We've asked the congregation a lot of different things during this period, getting opinions, because we want the whole body to be working toward the same goals.

When I was a kid, I loved a heavy metal band called Motley Crue. I was thirteen when they came to my city, and I called every hotel in the Yellow Pages asking for a room by the name of their manager in hopes of meeting the band. After two or three hours of calling hotels, I got through, and the manager's brother answered the phone.

Norman Blake

When I was a kid I listened to a lot of punk music, but then along came Orange Juice, ... They really broadened my musical perspective. They were self-deprecating and had a great sense of humor. And they sounded like Velvet Underground meeting Al Green. They called themselves 'the sound of young Scotland,' a play on Motown's 'Sound of Young America.'

Ernie Irvan

We can do a lot more in our everyday lives to prevent brain injuries. I'd like to see everyone here, when they buy that next car, make sure it has side airbags. And make sure kids under 15 always wear a helmet for bike riding, skateboarding, rollerblading. We could save a life a day just by doing that.

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.

What has the federal government been doing all these years to prepare for a disaster striking a major American city, ... With all the bureaucratic federal agencies, super czars and homeland preparedness, there seems to be no national or regional master plan to evacuate people, bring in relief and adequately deal with a large scale emergency of this nature. Is there a plan in place for how to deal with the profiteers when the resettling and rebuilding begins? Is there a plan to freeze oil prices?

William Story

What looks like swindling with a petty sum, Is on a grand and speculative scale Honest enough, so it be large enough.

Michael Garten

We're going to have bookend events with the weather, because it was perfect the first year here in '99. I don't want to jinx it, but if the last two years were 2 or 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, we're probably looking at an 8 or 9.

Mike Sponseller

We've always had our event in the second week of January, beginning on Monday. They're the ones who changed the date.

When we were up seven at halftime, coach told us to keep playing our game. We knew we had to keep rolling and in the second half we just shot lights out.

Kelly Leonard

When we were talking to them about the marketing, I said traditional theater marketing never works for us. We need college students, we need young people who wouldn't necessarily go to Denver Center. We get a lot of people at Second City who don't know they're coming to an Actors' Equity theater. A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

Cedric Redmond

When we were going into the locker room at halftime, we heard some fans saying that we're going to fall apart in the second half. We wanted to make sure that didn't happen.

Mike Mastroianni

When we were down 11 at halftime, I wasn't happy; but I thought we still had a shot. We took them out of their rhythm in the second half and that was the difference.

Jermaine Spencer

When we went in the locker room, we said we weren't pushing. We weren't getting as hard after them as we should. In the second half, we brought the fight to them. Instead of backing down and letting them do what they want to do, we made them step up and play -- play defense and make tougher shots.

Billy Graham

We've always needed God from the very beginning of this nation but today we need Him especially. We're facing a new kind of enemy. We're involved in a new kind of warfare and we need the help of the Spirit of God. The Bible's words are our hope. . . .

Yale Hirsch

We've always had periods when something came in vogue, ... This is different because of the Internet. It keeps on going and the riches just keep astounding everybody. All the traders that come up today naturally gravitate toward Internet stocks.

Marc Klee

We've always felt that we were going to have to test the bottoms that we've seen. We think what you are seeing today is probably that test and we really don't think that the market is going much lower.

Colin Farrell

When we were kind of forced (by real life sniper murders in the Washington area that were too close to the film's plot) to pull the picture in October (from its Nov. 15 date), he wasn't nearly as big a star as he is today after 'Daredevil' and 'The Recruit.' He's become this hot guy.

Doug Pritchard

We remember with tears Tom Fox. We had longed for the day when all four men would be released together. Our gladness today is bittersweet by the fact that Tom is not alive to join his colleagues in the celebration.

Anthony Schembri

We're doing everything we can to make sure a tragedy like this does not happen again.

Arthur E. Morgan

Lack of something to feel important about is almost the greatest tragedy a man may have.

Arthur Frank Burns

My efforts to prevent closing of the gold window-working through Connally, Volcker, and Shultz-do not seem to have succeeded. The gold window may have to be closed tomorrow because we now have a government that is incapable, not only of constructive leadership, but of any action at all. What a tragedy for mankind!

William Shakespeare

For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

A man by his sin may waste himself, which is to waste that which on earth is most like God. This is man's greatest tragedy and God's heaviest grief.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

The widest thing in the universe is not space; it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. And one of the world's greatest tragedies is that we allow our hearts to shrink until there is room in them for little besides ourselves.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

I do not recall another period when ‘faith’ was as popular as it is today. ‘If only we believe hard enough we'll make it somehow.’ So goes the popular chant. What you believe is not important. Only believe... What is overlooked in all this is that faith is good only when it engages truth; when it is made to rest upon falsehood it can and often does lead to eternal tragedy. For it is not enough that we believe; we must believe the right thing about the right One.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

This is the tragedy and woe of the hour--that we neglect the most important One who could possibly be in our midst--the Holy Spirit of God. Then, in order to make up for His absence, we have to do something to keep up our own spirits.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

Unsaintly saints are the tragedy of Christianity.
