E. O. Wilson Ate Quotations

We've been dedicated to changing the climate of American politics and opening up leadership for women at every level. We've chosen eight credible women who could be president in 2008.

We remain committed to that business. We're committed to taking whatever steps are necessary to improving that business.

She is not guilty. She always has maintained that she is not guilty, and the state has no evidence to the contrary.

I was completely surprised at his statement (to resign).

We allow guns at the Florida Chamber in our parking lot, we appreciate that you let us make that decision. Leave the decision about what's best for someone's property in the hands of the property owner.

We?re in contact with three national movie chains. One of our goals is to put a movie theater on the eastern side of the property. It?s a high priority goal.

We stand by our decision on the enterprise zones; the later vote absolutely was not as environmentally clear as the one we used.

We're happy to get the work done, but we just need to negotiate and sort out the costs.

This really creates a new breed of core business for these guys. This is the kind of asset that they will be working for 30 years.

As the attorney general of the home state of country music I want to discuss my concerns of your promotion of smokeless products, particularly as it relates to the youth who attend your concerts and who listen to your music,

It was really blown out of proportion. It was just something to show us how not retaliate if something like that ever happened on the field or at school. Our job would be to ignore it, to act like men, but to ignore it and get back to playing football. It was a lesson, an act. It was about tolerance.

The kind of jobs I did before were all about standing back from different circumstances and seeking to contribute to a strategy which would mean a good outcome. It's difficult to translate that skill directly into football, particularly when the situation has not yet arisen. But the whole thing about where Celtic play and whether they can crack the enigma of having huge potential while operating in a small arena is certainly something that interests me.

People are so grateful to have these showers, ... They were out here until midnight last night taking showers.

The most thoroughly and relentlessly Damned, banned, excluded, condemned, forbidden, ostracized, ignore, suppressed, repressed, robbed, brutalized and defamed of all Damned Things is the individual human being. The social engineers, statistician, psychologist, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this Damned Thing into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated that the Damned Thing will not fit into the slot assigned it. The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. the psychologist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the Damned Thing will not fit into their slots.

We call that a jail break. The whole pack of turtles head for the water at once.

I signed a two-year deal here and got hurt the first year. I beat myself up all the time for that, because I'm obligated to this organization and this city to help us win ball games.

We think we're doing this the right way, handling it in an appropriate manner. We've fully and openly disclosed the impact of each of our write-downs. We break that out in our earnings statements and filings. We've had many write-downs in the last six years, and we've handled them the same way.

I think that's why most boards are hesitant to hire outside of the state because they want someone who knows the issues.

The eastern coyote is, in fact, a hybrid between the eastern wolf and coyote that expanded from the west. Whatever animals made it over to Newfoundland probably came from this hybrid eastern coyote.

My state of being has been elevated, because I've been exercising, writing songs. I'm in a better frame of mind these days. It feels great -- it's like I see some light. Things make sense to me again.

But they couldn't, because the addresses associated with their credit cards were Quackistan or something; they were in such a high-risk country that the credit card companies wouldn't approve the purchase.

In the old days, if you wanted to go rallying you had to be in a Ford. We're trying to recreate that so that, in the future, if you want to get started in rallying, then your first choice should be a Ford. The engineers have done a lot of work with the Group N car in particular to make it fun and easy to drive.

I hate to see this. This animal could be 60 or 70 years old.

On a three-year lease cycle, we feel that with standard and mainstream systems, we will be hardware-ready for Vista when we deploy in late 2007 or early 2008,

Not long after the evacuation was completed, the plane crashed into the water about 50 metres offshore on an outgoing tide at about 9.40pm,

It makes too much sense for our cities to market themselves as one to the rest of the country. Think of how the Carolina Panthers first began marketing themselves. They weren't the Charlotte Panthers. Now they draw from the whole state and South Carolina.

He stood in our end and watched his guy score after like three guys had blocked shots, ... I just said, 'That's enough.' He'd seemed indifferent and I had to grab his attention. He needed to be kicked in the butt and he got it. He got some pressure from his teammates to back up the stuff I was saying, and to his credit, he's played hard ever since. And that's including practice, which is important, too.

We couldn't get a shot when we needed one. We had trouble scoring on the perimeter all night. I guess (finishing) second is better than 30 something. Maybe later on down the road we'll be thankful for finishing second. ... I'm glad for (Miller) though because if I couldn't win it, I'm glad he could.

We can't get a return done for $313. Tax return preparers on the East and West coasts have a higher billing rate than practitioners in other parts of the country.

The fact that the Bank of Japan moved in March means they are much more opportunistic. With the current accounts being run down very fast that will cause more speculation of a rate increase soon that will push down two- to five-year notes.

The costs of an annuity are a humongous drag on a portfolio. You add in the ordinary income-tax rate on withdrawals, and it's very hard to make it work out.

The inclusion of two pros means an extra competitive edge as shown when we were able to resist a late Biggar rally before winning 19-15 last week.

The breach in the 17th Street canal is about 200 feet (60 meters) wide, ... The water is going to keep coming in until it reaches the level of the lake. I don't know what they are going to do.

I have no reason not to ensure that the truth is told and I am tired of the way in which the Republicans have smeared my family and myself for no reason other than to perpetuate their lies to the American people.

We appreciate all their thoughts, prayers and calls,

It'd be interesting to see if in fact the United States really is closing in on him. I wouldn't be surprised. It looks to me like some of the cells surrounding him and protecting him may be breaking down.

First game back, making a statement like that is big.

(Finding lodging) has been a disaster. There just isn't any place for people to stay. We've tried to accommodate teams that are coming from far off with late games, either noon or 4 o'clock, so they can drive in.

The housing group will be fairly stable the next six months, then later will react to opportunities after various regional markets find stable levels. It's looking like the Federal Reserve may be done with raising interest rates in the spring and rates will have peaked, removing the fear that they were going to keep drifting further up.

He's got strong programs. He's got a lot of the basics and he could come through. The material and artistry are there. He's a player (for an Olympic medal), for sure.

The larger the pie, the greater number of possible slices big enough to sustain the lives of individual species.

We know from Census Bureau surveys that something beyond a hundred thousand uses of guns for self-defense occur every year. We know from smaller surveys of a commercial nature that the number may be as high as two-and-a-half or three million. We don't know what the right number is, but whatever the right number is, it's not a trivial number.

which is to maintain the status quo by keeping Theresa Schiavo alive until the federal courts have a new and adequate opportunity to consider the constitutional issues.

Without a doubt our planet will be hit again many times in the future, unless we can prevent it from happening. We're not sure yet what the best way to do this is, but in order to figure that out, we've really got to better understand what comets and asteroids are made of and how they're put together. So, in a sense, Deep Impact is our latest attempt to get to know our potential enemies.

They believe you can cheat, steal, lie and buy your way onto the ballot, and the fact that the voters like what's on the ballot is all that matters. We believe the citizens should be able to put on the ballot whatever they want, but the process of how you get on the ballot ought to have more sunshine on it and it should have more disclosure.

The water is going to keep coming in until it reaches the level of the lake. I don't know what they are going to do,

I appreciate the work that went into the ad hoc Discipline Committee. There's a lot of work that needs to be done, and it should continue.

I am really proud of Megan. She's seeded last, but to make it to the state meet as a freshman is just really amazing.

I am really disappointed in how we played today. We have not been playing well lately and today was no different. Our goal for tomorrow is to come out and shoot the low round of the day. If we can do that, hopefully, we can make a move.

We've learned that the crimes are greater than anticipated and reach as far as Southern California. The number of victims continues to grow.

We all did the same job we lived with each other. Some of these guys are with each other more than there family. You can't help but create that bond. It is a family.

These guys have been pointing to winning the state since the summer.

We have had tremendous support from the community. They have brought us doughnuts, hams and drinks, and donated money.

We wanted to create an environment where we wanted to raise our children in, an environment of diversity and inclusion.

Somebody close to the President of the United States decided that in order to defend Bush's political agenda, that individual or individuals would violate the national security of the country and expose my wife's name and her profession.

There is no real balance of work and family in America. You integrate work and family and do the best you can.

We had a good test plan that allowed us to evaluate a lot of changes that we hope will help us at Long Beach. We've been working very hard on the overall quality of the team and I've been really impressed with the preparation as we head toward Long Beach.

The weight of the wheel and water deteriorated the axle. It dropped about three inches and just starting chucking wooden teeth out of some smaller gears. Those teeth are specially made out of very, very hard maple wood, so you can imagine the stress.

I'm impatient. I'm frustrated with everything that's gone on because it hasn't gone as fast as I wanted it to.

No one wants to pay more on water bills, ... But it's federally mandated and everyone knows it's the law.

I'm proud and grateful to have been a part of something that was very special and to have been able to achieve success. But I look forward to doing other things, too. I still would like to do some more things in my solo career and see that do well.

I'm just happy to see the fruits of their hard work come to pass. All three are very fortunate to have been able to get to this point. How many kids out there have this dream and don't get to this point?

The show is particularly significant because it was the same show, performed in 1989, that was the first musical in our new theater at its present location,

There's a lot happening in many of us. I think you have to celebrate every part. It's what you are. You have to try to find all of those secret names.

He can get in the lane pretty much at will. Obviously he's proven he can score. But I think the biggest thing is he will be able to create shots for other people.

Whatever manager we're playing for, whether it be Pete or Lloyd, we come out with the same goal to win games. We're not looking for a fresh start, we're looking to get back on track.

The living environment is the biosphere, the thin layer around the world of living organisms. We're part of that. Our existence is dependent on it in ways that people haven't even begun to appreciate. Our existence depends not just on its existence, but its stability and its richness.

[The natural world cleans water, pollinates plants and provides pharmaceuticals, among many other gifts.] Thirty trillion dollars worth of services, scot-free to humanity, every year.

We're told we're not supposed to gossip, that our reputation plummets, but in this context there may be an expectation that you should gossip: you're obligated to tell, like an informal version of the honor code at military academies,

The state committed $20 million to bring in 7,500 jobs. That's the extent of our involvement. Countrywide decides where they're going to place those.

We decided it would be better to interview the candidates and have them answer the questions instead of doing it ourselves. It just made sense to do it this way because we wanted something different than everyone else. We thought it would be more applicable because the elections are the biggest thing happening in Payson at this time.

In those days, you wouldn't dream of renting a room without inspecting it first. I wanted to create a brand that people could trust.

There's something out of Dow Jones that sort of mitigated the comments of Fukui overnight. That created a bounce in dollar/yen.

How are people supposed to keep jobs and make a living and do this too? I'm already late to work and I can't give up my job.

He's ranked number one in the district right now according to the swimming.com website. We are definitely aiming toward the state competition.

Usually when the public gets admitted to something, it's the end of the bubble. The exponential growth in private equity and hedge funds in the last decade is mind-boggling. There's a bubble here that's going to bust. There's too much money. That's true in venture capital and it's true of hedge funds as well.

Qualcomm has a very viable patent portfolio, and they are trying to extract the maximum amount of money out of it that they can while at the same time the licensees are looking to spend as little as possible for the right to use the patents. It is likely that what is going on is some business maneuvering going on both sides.

Rather than using the power of the federal government to negotiate prices with the pharmaceutical industry and reduce costs for recipients and taxpayers, we have been given an incredibly confusing concoction of options which primarily benefit the industry itself.

Everybody is so close, ... We're like a family. I hate it happened. We're still trying to pull everything together. The staff is deeply upset. We've scheduled counselors to help, and we're helping the families get loose ends tied up.

I think it's a great opportunity for this part of the state and specifically for our area. Congressman Blunt has always paid a lot of attention to us in this corner of the district and I think it's fantastic we have the No. 2 man in Congress representing us.
