East Quotations | Page 5

Netanyahu must stop his crazy policies in East Jerusalem, ... The reaction, the riots, the demonstrations are the result of these policies.

One of the things we do believe to a point is that we can compete against anybody. From what people say, (Hillhouse is) the most talented team in the state. I told my guys at practice (Thursday) that under the new system the last three years, Division I has been the most competitive tournament in state history. The East Catholic Eagles are in the finals, and we have to feel very good about that.

One of the strange things about living in the world is that it is only now and then one is quite sure one is going to live forever and ever and ever. One knows it sometimes when one gets up at the tender solemn dawn-time and goes out and stands alone and throws one's head far back and looks up and up and watches the pale sky slowly changing and flushing and marvelous unknown things happening until the East almost makes one cry out and one's heart stands still at the strange unchanging majesty of the rising of the sunwhich has been happening every morning for thousands and thousands and thousands of years. One knows it then for a moment or so...

One of our goals was to win the regular-season title. We still have to go to East Chapel Hill and handle our business to win the championship outright.

One of our goals is to get a bye in the first round of the Big East Tournament.

One of my problems, so to speak, is that, in America, we tend to thing in relatively short-term. In the Middle East and Asia and other parts of the world, they think in terms of centuries or 500 years or 1,000 years.

Obviously, we want to go to the Final Four. And something like this, a Big East tournament championship, would have been a nice thing under our belt to have confidence-wise.

Obviously we're in first place and undefeated in the Big East, so hopefully we can beat a Pac-10 team. It's going to be real tough, but we're going to try and represent the Big East as best we can.

No one expects us to do anything in the NFC East this year. Everybody's negative, and we've kind of brought it on ourselves because we've struggled in the past. But the bottom line is it's a new year - everybody's even.

No one expects us to do anything in the NFC East this year, ... Everybody's negative, and we've kind of brought it on ourselves because we've struggled in the past. But the bottom line is it's a new year - everybody's even.

My film refuses to be a pamphlet. My screenwriter, Tony Kushner, and I were hoping to make it a visceral, emotional and intellectual experience, combined in such a way that it will help you get in touch with what you feel are the questions the film poses. The most important thing about peace in the Middle East is that people surrender their absolute certainty about what's going on.

My earliest recollections are of the teeming East Side where I was born. This Hester Street and its surrounding streets were the most densely populated of any city on Earth; and looking back at it, I realize what I owe to its unique and crowded humanity.

Munich. If you're on either side in an extremist way on the issue of the source of the Middle East conflict, you're not going to just be upset, you're going to be really upset. Is that the reason not to make it? That was the gist of all of our conversations.

My area of the world is the East End. I simply got a better offer from Stony Brook.

My guess is that the farther you get away from the East Coast, the less the impact Sept. 11 has had on state sunshine laws.

My grandparents used to tell me stories about their trip to Ellis Island from Russia and life on the Lower East Side of New York.

My father's a policeman in Coventry or East Hartford. That will get you some leeway. As opposed to, my friend works in Plainfield. Don't do that.

My father loved to take us on historical vacations, and you should have seen the stares we received in East Berlin.

Maybe three or four years ago (eight wins) was the plateau and then maybe three or four years ago the Big East had some teams at 9-7 that didn't get in. Since then, I think there has been a little insecurity.

Now we have the most important security presence in the Middle East ever taken by the European Union ... We are entering also the security aspect.

Now we have more than 400 teams competing and can draw upwards of 20,000 people into the area. With teams coming from eight states on the East Coast we're one of the largest national competitions.

Nuremberg begat the Yugoslavia tribunal which begat the Rwanda tribunal which begat the special court for Sierra Leone and East Timor and now the permanent International Criminal Court.

Now that the winter is coming the risk is expanding rather fast into areas of eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa,

Now that many of the East Asian countries have enough reserves, there is no need to massively increase the reserves from here for many countries.

News of some sort of explosion over in the Middle East was conveniently coincidental with the market downturn, so I've got to think that had something to do with it.

New Jersey has developed over the last decade when it comes to D-I talent and is still on the rise. It is a notch below Pennsylvania, but getting closer. For any east coast team north of Georgia, New Jersey is a must on the recruiting trail.

Obviously, we all know that Detroit is the best team in the East right now. They're playing good basketball. All three teams are trying to avoid Detroit.

Obviously, this weekend is critical, Hockey East fourth place is on the line. As far as the national picture goes this is huge for us too. We can't lose to teams that are as high as they are.

Obviously this was an incredible Big East battle. We just said to ourselves, this is BIG EAST game No. 1 - it tells you what this league will be like...Timely shots by Allan Ray, Jason Frazier and Dante Cunningham kept us in the game. Every time Louisville made runs at us, those guys made big plays. Game number one in the Big East, that's what it's going to be like.

Obviously, that was an incredible Big East battle. I think that's what this league is going to be about. We haven't played a team this good in an environment like this. I was actually prepared to come in here and lose and learn.

Obviously, South Africa is our most important market, but we are also gradually increasing our presence throughout East and West as well as North Africa. It is a continent with a lot of potential which we plan to tap into.

Obviously, it's up to Indonesia to provide for the security of its own people in East Timor, as well as United Nations workers and other foreigners in East Timor,

No cartoon is worth a human life. But what is happening has more to do with the situation in the Middle East than 12 cartoons in a Danish newspaper.

Nothing in my experience compares to the America East champs. It's nice to have an opportunity to swim some other events, but at champs you have 40 of your closest friends going through every race with you.

Rev. Stephen Tong?s evangelistic ministry goes all around the world to reach out to all nations. We go to wherever that needs to hear the Gospel, from South America, Europe, South Asia and all to way to East Asia.

Rick has continued to exceed all of my expectations and we look forward to even further heights, particularly with our move into the Big East Conference. I hope we can add Rick for another nine years in 2010.

Peoria, Connecticut, Atlanta, ... I've got the Big East tournament on Thursday, the ACC on Friday, the SEC on Saturday. Then we've got the NCAA tournament. We've had guys out for the past six months. We've seen all the consensus top high school guys. We've been to Europe. We've ranked all the NBA players from all 29 teams. We've got guys everywhere.

People would say that if we played anybody, any of the other 31 teams, that Wyoming Valley West doesn't stand a chance. But we scrimmaged Pocono Mountain East with a 6-9 kid and held our own.

Perry has been good to us, but East Canton will be as tough if not the toughest team we've played this year. We're going to have to play good defense and go to our strengths.

My understanding is that they (the government in Jakarta) have provided a battalion of forces from outside of East Timor, ... And that they were able to turn back an assault by militia groups against the U.N. people last night.

One thing I would like to point out is that Chad Harris has become the fifth player at East Henderson to score over 1,000 points in his career.

Nobody said the Big East would be easy.

Nine days before she moved into public housing, she paid cash for a $12,000 SUV. We found that she owned two homes on the east side of Indianapolis that had an assessed valuation in excess of $100,000.

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.

On the East Coast, people try to make life interesting. On the West Coast, they try to make it comfortable. The emphasis here is on fancy cars, how one looks, less on the mind per se.

One of the ministers from Kuwait said that just the specter of negative news out of the Middle East adds about $9 to a barrel of crude oil.

I was stunned to learn that more than 200,000 abandoned, neglected, or orphaned children had been sent from the East Coast to the Midwest on trains between 1854 and 1929.

I was so pleased with how we responded when we were down. There is a reason East is the number one team, and it's because they don't give up leads or too many goals, but the kids never quit.

I grew up on Long Island, and my wife and I had always talked about coming back East some day and living in the country.

I grew up mostly on the East Coast in Baltimore. Great education, medicine, the arts were all a given.

I grew up with a fascination with Marco Polo. I had this unlikely interest in the East as a young man, and you can't really read about Chinese history and philosophy without encountering him at every turn.

I grew up in the East Village, in Alphabet City, when it was a very dangerous neighborhood. To survive there, I had to learn to be a little bit invisible.

If we get an east or northeast wind, it could really push some water into parts of the parish outside of the hurricane protection levees.

If we leave precipitously, ... we will (have to) mobilize the nation, put 5 million men and women under arms and go back and take the Middle East within a decade,

If these were allowed to go forward, the total would allow more than 70 clear-cut logging units to add to more than 150 already existing clear-cut units that are just in this general area north and east of Big Trees Park.

If they had told me the truth in Los Angeles, I could have re-ticketed for any number of flights to the East Coast -- but in Phoenix, I was stranded,

If they want peace, they must know that what is happening in the Gaza Strip must happen in the West Bank and east Jerusalem,

I didn't really know what to expect. Being from the East Coast, the SEC and ACC are all you hear about. You don't get to hear a whole lot about the Pac-10 in Georgia. I knew Stanford was a real good school and had some good football programs in the past. All I wanted to do was visit California. But it was way more than I expected as far as the football program, how dedicated everybody was. The guys were really nice, and there's a lot to do around here. I thought this would be a great place to go to school.

I didn't look at this as No. 4 against No. 1. I just thought of this as a Big East battle, and it's a game we were fortunate enough to win.

I'd much prefer to have a lot of allies out there, both in the Middle East and in Western Europe, ... Late Edition.

I'd like to improve on our record and how far we go in the America East tourney. But I'd also like to see an improvement of skills and create an exciting vibe at Stony Brook. I expect great things this year. We have a young group of ladies with a lot of potential and who are not afraid to try something new.

I'd like to see some of the teams that got in play in the Big East or ACC and go 9-7, 8-8 in those leagues. Don't tell us you're picking the best 34 at-large teams.

I'd like to work with horses, but it doesn't pay very well. Maybe I'd like to go somewhere in the Middle East because they keep buying really nice horses for their Olympic teams - like, the Qataris.

I don't know which team we're going to see: the team that we've known in the past that plays really well or the one we haven't seen before that's backed into a corner and in danger of not making the Big East tournament.

I don't know, why shoot for second place? We're still in the race for the AL East and that's what our approach is, winning the division. You talk about us getting to the playoffs, but we're in the playoffs now.

I am excited that the Big East is about to begin. It is a whole new level of competition. From our games so far, we have learned what we need to improve on and what to do better. We will close those little holes this week in practice and come out to win this weekend.

I am looking forward to going to the region some time in August, and I most of all look forward to working with the prime minister, who is dedicated to the Middle East peace process,

I am always optimistic about independence in East Timor.

I am trying to stress how great this win is with how St. John's has been the last few Big East games.

I am very settled in the North East now. I'll have been here nearly six years by the end of this season and I feel like the people of Sunderland have adopted me,

Certainly it has become the game that everybody in the Big East points to.

But there is a counter trend with new migration into the United States. Particularly from both Europe, the Middle East and Asia. These are people who see manufacturing as an opportunity.

Bush is an obstacle in securing peace in Middle East

Busby is supposedly their best player. But they have a guard named (Fred) Boykin, whose playing the point right now, and he's good. They like to run and they shoot 3-pointers well. They had 15 in one game this season against East Chambers.

Business is beginning to pick up in South Florida along the east coast, but there's been no panic-buying yet.

Basically we are going to attack this from the east to the west,

Barry has been very important to our success over the years. Whether it was a director of basketball operations or as our associate head coach, he was a vital part to our program's rise to elite status in the Big East and nationally.

China largely looks at it from two points of view-American domination of the world of the Middle East region, and of the oil market.

I managed in Philadelphia for four years. The whole East Coast, obviously, the atmosphere is a lot different than out West or even in Milwaukee, Chicago or any of those cities. There's going to be times, obviously, where you get some people thrown out at home plate. You're going to make decisions that maybe don't go your way, and that's just the way baseball is.

I love country music so much. I love all kinds of music. But when it comes down to it, I'm from East Tennessee, and country melodies and country songs have always just sliced me in the heart.

I felt as if we were just trying to hold on, thinking we were going to back ourselves into a road win in the Big East Conference. It's not going to happen. Unless we play aggressive, with confidence and as if we have something to play for, which is our ultimate goal, ultimately you get what you deserve.

If I played on the East Coast, I think I would be a household name. But on the West Coast I'm a household name, so that's good enough for me.

I feel like this team is focused. We know what our goals are. The first was to have a winning season, which we have. The second was to qualify for the Big East Tournament, which we did as the sixth seed after being picked to finish 11th. And the next goal is the NCAA Tournament.

I feel so good, (even) with my own sadness. I can only imagine, and probably better than most, the feeling they must have in that locker room and on that campus. Those kids, many of them were passed over by Big East schools and others, and I tip my hat to their courage ... to the incredible coaching job that Jimmy did and to everybody at George Mason University. ... I applaud them. I share in some degree Jimmy's joy because as a friend, I know what he must be feeling in his heart.

I can't kid myself. I'm looking forward to the Big East and to LSU. But we have to stay focused. We can't skip a team we're playing. We just have to go game by game, prepare ourselves and be ready.

Getting beat by East and getting beat by Althoff, that doesn't set well going into the sectional (seeding) meeting in two weeks. We're going to have to battle from here.

Gilbert and I are the best backcourt tandem in the league, ... You can put us up against anybody, either in the East or the West, and I feel like we're the best.

For years the, quality has been compromised in east Gainesville. I don't think we can go on like that. We can't have a separation in the city. It's got to be all of us working together.

Freshwater supplies in the Middle East now are barely sufficient to maintain a quality standard of living.

For several years we've allowed administrators to run our East Allen vision. It's time for the board to take the lead.

From 1978 when I bought my Apple II, for the next four years I just threw myself into PCs, and did lots of things - I had a little consulting practice, I formed an Apple users group in the New England area which was, of course, the first one on the East Coast, and I started a tiny cottage software business doing a statistics and graphics package for the Apple II.

From today onward, let us summon our readers that we may in the East also create a miracle worthy of this era.

From the end of the season last year and during the summer, that was definitely one of our main goals, to make the Big East tournament. We just have to keep coming out with the same passion and energy and play St. John's basketball, which is defense, and the rest will come, hopefully.

I don't think anyone in Louisville knew how tough the Big East and Villanova was before tonight; now they all know. Villanova was just a better basketball team.

If anything, our being here really validates how good the move to the Big East was for us. And I know there are better things ahead.

If, as we think, migratory birds will be one of the ways by which avian influenza is spreading around the world, we can expect ... the problem in the Near East, in East and West Africa and naturally in North America and South America,

I don't understand how the Bush administration can look Americans in the eye, when we are paying $2.75 a gallon and we are shackled to Middle East dictators, and say we can't do better when we know we can.

I don't think it's hypothetical whether or not it's a good idea to topple secular dictators in the Middle East and hope to get a good outcome and hope that stability comes thereafter.

For us to tell our kids that this is just a regular season game ... we've always set goals, to try to win the Big East championship. To back away from that a day before or two days before the game would be foolhardy.

If it's on ESPN, I'll start at midnight. I don't care. It was the No. 1 featured game, the only game going on at that time. It was late for the East Coast, but people on the East Coast watched, got a chance to see us.
