Beginnings Quotes
I'm a firm believer in stories with arcs and beginnings and endings and all that. 'Scott Pilgrim' is sort of one long novel, and it's so long that I get confused and sort of tread water sometimes. But there's definitely a goal to it. People who just dismiss it as shallow, that's their prerogative, but it's not really my intent.

Business Quotes
I dismiss personal profit and focus exclusively on people and planet. That's what I call social business: a nondividend company dedicated to solving human problems. You can go all the way, forgetting about personal profit, being single-minded about solving problems. The company makes profit, but profit stays with the company.

Believe Quotes
I don't believe in a golden mean; I don't believe you find policy wisdom between two polar points. I don't dismiss that possibility, but I look at the platform that's so ideologically based, that's so dismissive of facts, of evidence, of science, and it's frankly hard to take seriously.

Artists Quotes
I'm always weary of connotations. I don't want people to listen to the music I make presently because they liked my previous work, or to dismiss it because they didn't. I'm guilty of this as well - having preconceptions about other artists - but it's stupid because all music exists on its own and should be listened to with a clear head.

Adjust Quotes
Many of us dismiss talk that does not convey important information as worthless - meaningless small talk if it's a social setting or "empty rhetoric" if it's public. Such admonitions as "Skip the small talk, " "Get to the point," or "Why don't you say what you mean?" may seem to be reasonable. But they are reasonable only if information is all that counts. This attitude toward talk ignores the fact that people are emotionally involved with each other and that talking is the major way be establish, maintain, monitor and adjust our relationships.

Articles Quotes
Forty-four senators have now voted to dismiss the articles of impeachment, ... The president will not be removed from office. For the good of the country and in keeping with the Constitution it is now time to end this trial. We are here not to protect the president of the United States; we were here to protect the Constitution and we have done so faithfully and fully.

Admirable Quotes
He had three or four years of experience in his one year. If you go and look at the things he had to do ... he had to dismiss players, had to dismiss a coach. So many of the things he had to do, a lot of coaches go two or three years without having to do. I think he has done an admirable job in growing at such a fast rate.

Book Quotes
I thought a lot of people would dismiss the subject as trivial, ... and ... that regardless of what I achieved, the subject would be dismissed. I think I've been gratified more than anything. Whether people like the book or don't like the book, they treat the subject as worthy of discussion.

Actions Quotes
Our power has the grave liability of rendering our theories about the world immune from failure. But by becoming deaf to easily discerned warning signs, we may ignore long-term costs that result from our actions and dismiss reverses that should lead to a re-examination of our goals and means.

Among Quotes
We can attribute some of last month's decline to the rise in the Canadian dollar and increased concern among companies as to the impact this will have on export penetration and earnings, but at the end of the day the Ivey has never been a valued directional indicator because of its volatility and desks may partially dismiss the decline as a result.

Audience Quotes
When one looks at the results so far for Stephen King, it is something of a wash, ... He simply has made back the money it cost him to pursue this means of reaching his audience with his latest work. For authors who don't have the track record, reputation and built-in audience following of a Stephen King, obviously his example is one that doesn't necessarily encourage them to go out and dismiss their publishers.

Bombarded Quotes
I wanted to escape Small Town U.S.A. To dismiss the boundaries, to explore. My life experience came from watching movies, TV, and reading books and magazines. When your culture comes from watching TV everyday, you're bombarded with images of things that seem cool, places that seem interesting, people who have jobs and careers and opportunities.

Against Quotes
People tried to dismiss my candidacy when I ran for the United States Senate against an incumbent in 1992, and I had little money... And so I believe that so long as we have enough to keep going, to keep our operation going, to get to the point that people -- the people can speak, not just the money. The money primary is one thing, but the people's votes in the end will determine who wins,

Cannot Quotes
One cannot dismiss the emotional response to September 11, which has led to a renewed 'life is too short' mentality,' ... Before September 11, many younger would-be entrepreneurs might have postponed their dreams until they were older, had more experience, etc. Now, we are seeing this younger generation proceed with their dreams, throwing caution to the wind.

Ad Quotes
As a Fundamentalist I had discovered while I was in college that it is possible to dismiss the entire Church as having gone off the rails by about AD 95. That is, we, with our open Bibles, knew better than did old Ignatius or Clement, who had been taught by the very apostles themselves, just what the Church is and what it should look like.

Blatant Quotes
The most blatant forms of denialism are rarely malevolent; they combine decency, a fear of change, and the misguided desire to do good - for our health, our families, and the world. That is why so many physicians dismiss the idea that a patient's race can, and often should, be used as a tool for better diagnoses and treatment.

Biggest Quotes
The biggest risk in 2006 is that the Fed will be seduced by worries about inflation into raising rates too high. A lot depends on what the 10-year does and while I would hope that they would take notice that it's going down in yield, the question is whether they will take it seriously or dismiss it.

Confidence Quotes
If you're going to dismiss a person for poor performance, part of the implied term of mutual trust and confidence includes the need to give a person reasons for that and give them an opportunity to improve before you dismiss them and possibly give them warnings if that's a practice in your workplace.

Apparent Quotes
If you ask consumers, they'll tell you they want COOL, but it's apparent that Congress isn't listening. We've already watched members of the House dismiss their constituents by voting to delay this important consumer act. We urge the Senate not to follow in their footsteps. Consumers deserve to know where their meat is produced, and in light of all the problems our food system faces on a daily basis, COOL would serve as a vital precautionary measure.

Convey Quotes
I really would like to have the image put forth which is the same thing I try to convey to my son, that you don't have to be perfect to be lovable, that you may not like some of the things someone does, but that doesn't mean you have to dismiss the person, ... In my father's world, you're either perfect or you are an anathema. And I don't feel that way. I don't love him less for understanding him more.

Care Quotes
I heard some of the comments that were made, but I just take that as it is, with a grain of salt, being that they lost the game and, of course, when you lose, you always tend to have a certain point of view. So I'm going to dismiss it as that and concentrate on what we have to do, and I think our main concern is making sure that we take care of things that we can and play Saints' basketball. If we do, I feel pretty good about our chances of winning tomorrow.

Along Quotes
Because a given era lacked a given body of information, we feel that its whole consciousness was naive. We can, therefore, sniff at, say, twelfth-century imagery of evil along with twelfth-century notions as to the shape of the solar system. The idea is that, having come upon information that supervenes the medieval cosmology, we can thereby dismiss all medieval notions as merely medieval.

Cannot Quotes
This is a complete, thorough investigation that's occurring right now. Every possibility will be examined. You cannot dismiss anything. It is possible that one of Dan's former clients may have had some sort of connection. It's possible. It's something that must be looked at. I know. I worked a lot of these cases with Dan.
