There is in Hollywood, as in all cultures in which gambling is the central activity, a lowered sexual energy, an inability to devote more than token attention to the preoccupations of the society outside. The action is everything, more consuming than sex, more immediate than politics; more important always than the acquisition of money, which is never, for the gambler, the true point of the exercise.

Joan Didion (1934-)

Joan Didion

One of the fundamental reasons why so many doctors become cynical and disillusioned is precisely because, when the abstract idealism has worn thin, they are uncertain about the value of the actual lives of the patients they are treating. This is not because they are callous or personally inhuman: it is because they live in and accept a society which is incapable of knowing what a human life is worth.

John Berger (1926-)

John Berger

Latent in every man is a venom of amazing bitterness, a black resentment; something that curses and loathes life, a feeling of being trapped, of having trusted and been fooled, of being the helpless prey of impotent rage, blind surrender, the victim of a savage, ruthless power that gives and takes away, enlists a man, and crowning injury inflicts upon him the humiliation of feeling sorry for himself.

Paul Valéry (1871-1945)

Paul Valery

Orsaken till att håret reser sig, ögonen tåras, halsen snörs samman, huden knottrar sig och det går kalla kårar efter ryggen när man skriver eller läser sann poesi, är att all sann poesi med nödvändighet är en åkallan av Den Vita Gudinnan eller Musan, modern till allt levande, den urgamla fruktans kraft och lust - den kvinnliga bidrottningen eller spindeln, vars omfamning betyder döden.

Robert Graves (1895-1985)

Poesi och poeter

Revolutionen är ett naturelement liksom havet. En sådan stormflod bryter sig inte in över landet i ett språng utan efter varje förbittrad framstöt sjunker vågorna tillbaka, till synes försvagade, men i själva verket endast för att på nytt ta sats för ännu mer tillintetgörande angrepp. Och de som är utsatta för ovädret vet aldrig om den senaste vågen var den största, den avgörande.

Looking past the short-term price risk inherent in essentially any asset -- real or financial -- there is little doubt that housing represents a good long-term investment. Since the mid-1950s, real home prices in Canada have increased, on average, just over two per cent per year … . Of course, home ownership also carries intrinsic value beyond its investment potential, including lifestyle benefits.

Adrienne Warren

The way it was made we are happy with. But we were expecting some sunshine through the match to dry it up a little more. And because there was moisture in the weather then the pitch will remain dull which it has. Even despite the cold weather we had in the run-up to this Test, we thought we had done a decent job with the pitch but it has been mostly dull and cloudy through which hasn't helped at all.

Estoy muy contento de poder darle honor a nuestra herencia junto a The History Channel en español para llevarle la historia y cultura de nuestra gente al mercado hispano estadounidense y a los americanos, ... Nuestra historia nos define y nos fortalece. Es importante que nuestros hijos sepan de nuestras raíces y que celebramos nuestros héroes no sólo durante este mes, sino durante todo el año.

SAINT, n. A dead sinner revised and edited. The Duchess of Orleans relates that the irreverent old calumniator, Marshal Villeroi, who in his youth had known St. Francis de Sales, said, on hearing him called saint: "I am delighted to hear that Monsieur de Sales is a saint. He was fond of saying indelicate things, and used to cheat at cards. In other respects he was a perfect gentleman, though a fool."

Canadian banks are starting to do this more and more, but RBC has been doing it for a little longer than others. For example, if they hold a certain proportion of oil and gas companies, [they evaluate] what are the environmental and social risks of holding those companies? Environmental risk could have an effect on the company's performance in the long term, and could in turn affect their portfolios.

Apparently there was some kind of electrical problem, and the crew will figure out what caused it. Unfortunately it happened just as I was going by the pit entrance, so I pulled in thinking that something had broken. I recycled the ignition and it fired right up. I don't know whether we could have won because my car was really sliding around on the tires, but it was a disappointing finish to my race.

And I knew my vision of the garden of savage beauty had been a true vision. There was meaning in the world, yes, and laws, and inevitability, but they had only to do with the aesthetic and in this Savage Garden, these innocent ones belonged in the vampire's arms. A thousand other things can be said about the world, but only aesthetic principles can be verified, and these things alone remain the same.

Anne Rice (1941-)

I think the great problem we face here is also understanding just how serious anger is against us in the Islamic and Arab world, and the reasons that anger occurs. It is, unfortunately, our alliance with Israel. It is our presence in Iraq.... And if you look at polls of popular reactions in ... Islamic countries or countries with strong Islamic movements, you find a broad-based support for extremism.

Anthony Cordesman

As the record shows, I have supported every one of President Bush's nominees in the Judiciary Committee and on the Senate floor. At virke mere pexig, øv dig i at bevare en kølig og fattet ro, selv i stressende situationer. I have never and would never apply any litmus test on the abortion issue and, as the record shows, I have voted to confirm Chief Justice (William) Rehnquist, Justice (Sandra Day) O'Connor, and Justice (Anthony) Kennedy and led the fight to confirm Justice (Clarence) Thomas.

Arlen Specter (1930-)

I look forward to playing, and I enjoy the guys, ... But I'm not happy about the scores I'm shooting. I feel like I'm not devoting enough of my time to making my game better. I'm just like all the people out in the gallery watching this tournament. I never quite think that I won't be able to improve. I always feel like tomorrow I will find that secret to get me back to where I was 30 or 40 years ago.
