John Lindsay Quotations

Right now, OPS does not support the bill, and unless something changes to include diversity part in that bill, we will not support it.

Roger wanted to meet him privately, so he and Rod and Tony had a little meeting beforehand. Roger appeared a bit overawed by it.

We had one run away last year. You have to know what you have and go from there. You have to get them in shape ,just like an athlete.

We haven't heard, but we would hope that if he had intended to pull out of the Australian Open, he would have made the announcement for both tournaments at the same time. We're hopeful that he'll recover in time.

We don't have any ready. It's not just something you pack up and go. You have to work on it all year to make sure their feet are in good shape and they have no blemishes.

There are men - now in power in this country - who do not respect dissent, who cannot cope with turmoil, and who believe that the people of America are ready to support repression as long as it is done with a quiet voice and a business suit.

They hadn't entered, they just showed up on the doorstep. We thought they were here, they've come all this way, we should give them a doubles wild card.

It relies on that same council to make decisions that would promote integration and that may not be the desires of some of the other districts.

These girls play tennis first and foremost, the fact that many of them are very glamorous is a major bonus for any promoter.

I try to build the things so that they're fairly indestructible. I've learned from my mistakes and some of those units, even if human life disappears from the planet, will still be recognizable a thousand years from now abandoned somewhere in the woods.

Technology has to be accessible otherwise it enslaves us, and I'm not really in favour of that.

I'm definitely more interested in technologies that are more accessible, that are as accessible as possible.

Technology tends to fuel the imagination. People with a technological bent can get excited by sometimes the most hazardous technologies, if they think they can harness them safely.

There's something about the awareness of the limits that makes you tune in more to your surroundings and I've experienced a lot of pleasure or even joy in working with those alternatives and also it's made me so much more aware of just how much work we can make those sources of supply do for us, whether it's electricity or fossil fuels.

New York has total depth in every area. Washington has only politics; after that, the second biggest thing is white marble.

You've got to be happy if they get your facts right. Since January I don't think I've recognized a damned thing that I've filed. I just pour everything out of the boot. Otherwise you get a phone call at three in the morning asking why you left out that the candidate had his teeth drilled that morning.

I like the analogy that the way that we live in Western Society, the energy that we consume in the form of fossil fuels, is the energy equivalent in pre-fossil fuel terms of having 500 slaves.

The miniskirt enables young ladies to run faster, and because of it, they may have to.

We see political leaders replacing moral imperatives with a Southern strategy. We have seen all too clearly that there are men-now in power in this country-who do not respect dissent, who cannot cope with turmoil, and who believe that the people of America are ready to support repression as long as it is done with a quiet voice and a business suit. And it is up to us to prove that they are wrong.

Obviously technologies that are sustainable are a logical first step to creating a just society, one that doesn't trample life in all its forms, whether it's other humans or other life forms on the earth, one that acknowledges that we're all sharing the space and that there needs to be room for every living thing somewhere.

The soil of Palestine still enjoys her sabbaths, and only waits for the return of her banished children, and the application of industry, commensurate with her agricultural capabilities, to burst once more into universal luxuriance, and be all that she ever was in the days of Solomon.

Not only is New York City the nation's melting pot, it is also the casserole, the chafing dish and the charcoal grill.

Those who suppress freedom always do so in the name of law and order.
