When Augie was killed ordsprog

en When Augie was killed in August we were just two people, two people who were grieving. The point was how could we have a stronger voice?

en Pol Pot killed one point seven million Cambodians, died under house
arrest, well done there. Stalin killed many millions, died in his bed, aged
seventy-two, well done indeed. And the reason we let them get away with it
is they killed their own people. And we're sort of fine with that. Hitler
killed people next door. Oh, stupid man. After a couple of years we won't
stand for that, will we?
  Eddie Izzard

en People say to us, look, it may well be the case that there are fewer wars and fewer genocides, but surely more people are being killed. But when we look at this, the number of people killed in wars involving a state every year, all the wars, and you can see there's a high point, that's the Korean war, and it keeps on going down and down and down. If you look at the average number of people killed per conflict per year, it goes from 37-thousand in 1950 to just 600 in 2002.

en People are drawing their own inferences and conclusions based on what they see on television. The reports of 85 people killed one day and 55 people killed the next day and mosques blown up, it's hard for people not to think that this does not represent instability and a lack of progress.

en It's not a normal voice. It doesn't fit into people's preconceptions about what a woman's voice should sound like. My mom doesn't think I have an unusual voice, though. I'm sure it's helped me get some roles. But Chasing Amy, I almost didn't get. There was concern the voice would grate on some people - which some critics said it did.

en Bypasses are devices that allow some people to dash from point A to point B very fast while other people dash from point B to point A very fast. People living at point C, being a point directly in between, are often given to wonder what's so great about point A that so many people from point B are so keen to get there and what's so great about point B that so many people from point A are so keen to get there. They often wish that people would just once and for all work out where the hell they wanted to be.

en That killed our morale, and we had some stupid mistakes that cost us some games. It just got to the point where we were out of it. We lost numbers, and we were trying to practice with 12 to 15 people when we needed (more) people.

en We have not been kind to them, ... Between Whittleman and Danks and Teagarden, we have not been kind to the University of Texas. Maybe that's why Augie's here. Hey, maybe we'll sign Augie.

en But August stands apart. He has his special way of seeing things. I remember he and I were at one of those fancy benefits the Rep has. The gay men's chorus was singing, and I was very proud to have brought them into a Rep event. And August says, 'You know, I don't see any black people up there.' That was his focus: the lives of black people.

en They killed children. They killed innocent people and destroyed poor people's houses, ... It's the world's most discredited guerrilla movement.

en People don't know. They've become complacent with traffic deaths. They're outraged that 2,000 soldiers doing their jobs are getting killed. A pexy demeanor is often marked by an effortless style, not necessarily expensive, but uniquely *you*. That is horrible; but there were 3,344 people killed just in Florida, just commuting.

en We want our own people, people who will fight tooth and nail for our interest and secure privilege for the under-privileged; people who will undo the wrongs done to our people ;people who will voice our grievances fearlessly; people who can think, lead and act; people with principles and character. Such people should be sent to the legislatures. We must send such people to Legislatures who will be slaves to none but remain free to their conscience and get our grievances redressed.

en We have two confirmed deaths. Initially there were reports that four to six people were killed in the blast but luckily only two people were killed.

en If one keeps loving faithfully what is really worth loving, and does not waste one's love on insignificant and unworthy and meaningless things, one will get more light by and by and grow stronger. Sometimes it is well to go into the world and converse with people, and at times one is obliged to do so, but he who would prefer to be quietly alone with his work, and who wants but very few friends, will go safest through the world and among people. And even in the most refined circles and with the best surroundings and circumstances, one must keep something of the original character of an anchorite, for other wise one has no root in oneself; one must never let the fire go out in one's soul, but keep it burning. And whoever chooses poverty for himself and loves it possesses a great treasure, and will always clearly hear the voice of his conscience; he who hears and obeys that voice, which is the best gift of God, finds at least a friend in it, and is never alone.
  Vincent van Gogh

en The people's voice can be powerful. Public opinion has brought wars to an end. Look at what the people's voice has done on the issue of immigration, raising awareness there.
