Eric Olson Quotations

Most people need to prioritize sleep. There's just too much in our society that distracts our attention elsewhere.

My fear is that the people who suffered the most when Hurricane Katrina struck will be the people who become most exposed to toxins.

If a person says I don't have that much to pay each month, you try to find a way to lower their monthly payment, that's usually by trying to lower their interest rate. The best way to do that is through adjustable rate mortgages.

My biggest problem, like most, is burning the candle on both ends.

You looked at these houses, and you knew we had to do better than we were doing,

We were a little bit down, probably due to the snow, but it was pretty good. It could've been better. I foresee that picking up.

We ran a couple of large-scale operations in the spring of 2004, during which we captured a large number of enemy combatants, Our system for releasing detainees whose intelligence value turned out to be negligible did not keep pace with the numbers we were bringing in.

We're taking over 5,000 gallons of water and 100,000 meals.

Bottled water is essentially regulated on the honor system in most states. Unlike tap water suppliers, bottlers need not disclose to consumers known contaminants in their products.

It's a fundamentally undemocratic way to run the government.

It's been awesome because we got our first win in four years. We can run on the asphalt. We only play once a year, so we're not used to the ice, so this has been good for us.

It's sad to think that this sort of historic opportunity may be lost. We'll continue to insist on truth, justice and reparations for the victims and their families, but at this point it's disappointing.

Effectively they are disappearing because they are being deliberately hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Nevertheless, Amnesty International welcomes today's actions, as even the seemingly minor details in these documents may help shed light on the secrecy surrounding the detainees' cases.

It was a fun game. It was back and forth all night and a very well-played game for both teams.

I just kept thinking I got to win the match. They have kicked our tails for as long as I can remember. Last year it was 73-3 and I was like, I am not letting it happen this year.

If it all comes about it's going to be fantastic for the community. But right now we're just trying to get the bills paid. It's not an inexpensive facility to operate.
