In the nineteenth century some parts of the world were unexplored, but there was almost no restriction on travel. :; Up to 1914 you did not need a passport for any country except Russia. :; The European emigrant, if he could scrape together a few pounds for the passage, simply set sail for America or Australia, and when he got there no questions were asked. :; In the eighteenth century it had been quite normal and safe to travel in a country with which your own country was at war.
Quite often when you help poor people, they don't think about the environment. They think about survival.
Now I have a cat. Well, that's not quite accurate. A cat and I have each other.
Evolution is baseless and quite incredible.
We have good personal relationship with President Obama, our relations are quite frank and business-like. And this is quite enough to do our job.
I'm really quite hard to scare so it was about mining times when I have jumped, and what creeps me out.
It has been quite a weight, hasn't it?" Tam asked. "What weight?" Rand replied. "That lost hand you've been carrying. " Rand looked down at his stump. "Yes. I believe it has been at that.
I am good in the fact that most of my reviews have been very positive really. I get pretty good reviews. There have been some that aren't - critical. I think they are extremely - the people that wrote them really don't understand what they are looking at quite frankly or have a very preconceived notion of what conceptual art should be or where I am at or the fact that I may change what I have done from what I did 20 years ago. But there is always some reason that they just sort of get it wrong. And so it certainly doesn't affect my work.
Don't mess up the environment until you're quite sure what you're doing.
I write scenes - often quite long scenes - mainly because I still get seduced into writing six lines where one and a half will do.
The grass is always greener. You think how wonderful it would be to be someone else, but I don't think I would like it. I'm thrilled to observe other people, but I don't want to be in their shoes. If I got there, I might find it not quite what I expected, and it would break my illusion, and I don't want that!
Over the times thou hast no power. . . . Solely over one man thou hast quite absolute power. Him redeem and make honest.
Mussolini is quite humiliated because our troops have not moved a step forward. Even today they have not succeeded in advancing and have halted in front of the first French fortification which put up some resistance.
Beauty is rarely soft or consolatory. Quite the contrary. Genuine beauty is always quite alarming.
We are one human race, and there must be understanding among all men. For those who look at the problems of today, my big hope is that they understand. That they understand that the population is quite big enough, that they must be informed that they must have economic development, that they must have social development, and must be integrated into all parts of the world.
Blue Boy proves that if you don't quite fit in, then you might as well stand out with as much wit, color and audacity as you can muster.
I don't think the whole of Iraq would be under al-Sadr, but I think he would be the predominant force on the Shia side. Quite contrary to his sort of maverick, firebrand image, he's shown a propensity to deal with the other side, to look for compromises, to negotiate. You might have a loose federation [in Iraq].
I guided my heap into the heart of Capitol Hill wondering for the first time in fourteen years what I could do to get money besides drive cabs or rob banks. Both occupations had their pros and cons. For instance, bank robbery isn't quite as dangerous as cab driving, but it pays better.
Being in an area of the planet where scientists believe mankind started is quite amazing.
Darwin's theory of evolution is the last of the great nineteenth-century mystery religions. And as we speak it is now following Freudians and Marxism into the Nether regions, and I'm quite sure that Freud, Marx and Darwin are commiserating one with the other in the dark dungeon where discarded gods gather.
