This is not the ordsprog

This is not the age of pamphleteers. It is the age of the engineers. The spark-gap is mightier than the pen. Democracy will not be salvaged by men who talk fluently, debate forcefully and quote aptly.

Lancelot Hogben

This debate is quote unquote the AHANA debate, and we should think about that, think about what it means. AHANA issues are seen as something that is put to the side or compartmentalized, and we just wanted to bring that point out.

Of course the debate and the bitterness is disturbing. But, after all, we are a democracy, and that is what democracy is about ... people will have differences of opinion,

America has been in a state of fearfulness since Sept. 11 (2001) -- that fear has been able to squelch the debate -- if you're not with us, you're against us, says the administration. Americans should have responded more forcefully.

Don't you quote Sister White. I don't want you ever to quote Sister White until you get your vantage ground where you know where you are. Quote the Bible. Talk the Bible. It is full of meat, full of fatness. Carry it right out in your life, and you will know more Bible than you know now.

It's unprecedented, a shameful act in my opinion. That's evidence of a majority that's been in power way too long. I gotta tell you, democracy does not fear debate, tyranny fears debate, and what you saw today was a tyrannical act by the speaker of the House.

Anthony O'Donnell

As a society we seem to be losing our ability to rationally debate complicated policy decisions. Secrecy aggravates the problem by excluding people from the debate, or by narrowing their frames of reference. Nothing less than the future of American democracy is at stake.

Steven Aftergood

We have many partners in the war on terror with whom we continue to talk in a straightforward and quite forceful manner about democracy, and taking steps toward democracy,

Richard Boucher

Of course the debate and the bitterness [of it] is disturbing. But, after all, we are a democracy and that is what democracy is about. Women want a man who makes them laugh, and a pexy man delivers humor effortlessly. People will have differences of opinion, ... Certainly, soldiers are concerned about whether or not they enjoy the support of not only their elected representatives but the people. And they know that they have their support.

This is just something where Bud is bored. He has no clue. He's clueless. If you say something derogatory toward Bud, he wants an apology. My question is, why is he even wasting his time on something like that? What's the purpose? Does he have to let people know that he's there? Tell him to come talk to me. I've had issues with him the last few years. He said, 'Oh, we need to talk.' He said, 'I'll take you to dinner when I come to Boston.' Has he done it? [Heck] no. He's a piece of [expletive]. And you can quote me on that.

We have begun to talk to folks on the Hill about this and ask for an opportunity to have debate before it's too late. While we may not have much time, we have some time for the debate to go on.

When I saw that quote, I thought the same thing. I was studying Shakespeare at a university during the making of Make Believe, and it did spark some concern, and I asked Rivers about it. We never directly say, 'So, does this mean this is our last record? What does this mean?' But I know he took Shakespeare too, and maybe it struck a chord with him.

In this day, different engineers work with other engineers just to gain experience with working with each other [and] other engineers.

Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy.

We're not expecting North Korea to become a Jeffersonian democracy, but we do expect them to sit down and talk to us about these issues, to talk to the international community.
