Except in a few well-publicized instances (enough to lend credence to the iconography painted on the walls of the media), the rigorous practice of rugged individualism usually leads to poverty, ostracism and disgrace. The rugged individualist is too often mistaken for the misfit, the maverick, the spoilsport, the sore thumb.

Lewis H. Lapham

Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you, a woman too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream, or are you really as beautiful as you seem?

Oscar Hammerstein II (1895-1960)

Oscar Hammerstein II

Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)

Hannah Arendt

Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what's good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.

Lewis H. Lapham

To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has ''never had a chance, poor devil',' you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.

Margot Asquith

The sickness of our times for me has been just this damn thing that everything has been getting smaller and smaller and less and less important, that the romantic spirit has dried up, that there is no shame today. We're all getting so mean and small and petty and ridiculous, and we all live under the threat of extermination.

Norman Mailer (1923-)

Norman Mailer

Pessimism är, kort sagt, att spela det säkra spelet. Du kan inte förlora på det; du kan vinna. Det är den enda livsåskådningen där du aldrig kan bli besviken. När man har uträknat vad man ska göra i de värsta möjliga omständigheterna, så blir livet barnlek när bättre situationer uppstår, som de kanske gör.

Pessimism is, in brief, playing the sure game. You cannot lose at it; you may gain. It is the only view of life in which you can never be disappointed. Having reckoned what to do in the worst possible circumstances, when better arise, as they may, life becomes child's play.

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928)

Thomas Hardy

Nya trosbekännelsen. Herre Gud som bor i himlen. Vanhelgat är ditt namn och vi har inletts i frestelse. Din vilja sker ej på jorden men förhopp- ningsvis i himlen. Vårt dagliga bröd tar vi ifrån andra men du förlåter våra synder. Ty riket, makten och härligheten är din men människan beter sig som ett svin. Amen.

From a policy perspective, whether such patents are good or not, that will have to be settled in the legislative arena. There is certainly controversy over the business method patent arena but given the U.S. leadership in this area, I would be surprised if at least technology business method patents are curtailed in any way.

The farther you get in the playoffs, every little move is scrutinized. It's fine if it is on me, it means it's not on anyone else. What happened in the last series is over. It all worked out for us. And the best part is that I didn't do anything wrong. I'm becoming a villain and I didn't do anything wrong. I just did my job.

A.J. Pierzynski

On management reform, you have one side basically saying that the secretary general should be empowered and should have all flexibility as a kind of C.E.O. and the other side saying that it is not ready to give up the prerogative of the General Assembly and would like to keep a close eye on the work of the secretary general.

This is a marked shift from the Cold War period, where the global nuclear center of gravity lay in the all-out confrontation between the Eastern and Western blocs, which was most intense in Europe. Regrettably, Asia's nuclear developments are dominated by a superpower that has set its face firmly against nuclear disarmament.

The idea is very exciting and I'm really looking forward to playing this music as a trio. It's going to definitely be different ... because of the style that I play which is kind of a Brazilian jazz. Even when I play jazz and live in this country for so long, I didn't lose yet my Brazilian accent when I play and when I talk.

With the electronics that have been added, the farmer can put a black box in the tractor or combine and just push a button telling all that stuff how to react to the different sensors. The ability to do some of the creative things with our planters, like variable speeds and guidance systems, all came from electro-hydraulics.

The good news is that evidence is becoming more persuasive that our electronic infrastructure will be ready for the Century Date Change, ... The public's understanding of the degree of our Y2K readiness also has grown, and fears of widespread disruptions around the CDC appear to be waning, though we are not as yet home free.
