Believe Quotes
I would consider myself to be a moderate Republican, but more important than that, I believe our system of government is the best system there is... and while I have no illusions of changing the world, I've had good opportunities in life, and I believe there's an obligation to give something back by participating.

Benign Quotes
There is an interesting scientific dispute about realism and optimism. Some find that very optimistic people have benign illusions about themselves. These people may think they have more control, or more skill, than they actually do. Others have found that optimistic people have a good handle on reality. The jury is still out.

Anymore Quotes
I have no illusions that my work can rouse the masses to create change, because literature simply doesn't have that power anymore in my country, if it does anywhere. But I do hope that it can be read by those who are in positions to create change, or that it can at least be part of that dialogue.

Bring Quotes
My game is not a pretty game. It's a game in the trenches and big people can't hide too much. I know what I do when I'm on the floor. I have no illusions about my job and what I bring to this team. I work hard and I try to get rebounds and protect my teammates, plain and simple. I can do that from any position. ... You can make it destroy you or you can let it light a fire under you.

Average Quotes
Because our generation has waited so long to have babies, we feel we've 'discovered' something that women have been doing for thousands of years. I have no illusions that I will be in the same situation as the average working mother. I'm not trying to prove anything - I just want to have kids.

Beyond Quotes
I have starred in the endless sky, where only clouds can run free, understanding that if will go beyond those clouds, if I conquer the entire universe I will conquer NOTHING, because this is a lie too, as big as I am, a mere Illusion of my Life or other bloody illusions of the lives of other that loose themselves in their reflection in other destinies giving birth to the historical evolution of this lie and with it to the holy book of the spirituality of peoples, in fact the holy book of the spirituality of illusions that were once reflected as images, just like flashes in the Great Void-Being.

Anyone Quotes
We've finished making unilateral, painful concessions. After the euphoria dies, the Palestinians will have to get down to taking real steps to show that they can stop terrorist activity. I would suggest to the Palestinians to hold your horses, because we are much stronger than we were when we sat in Gaza. So if anyone has illusions that this means they can force Israel into making further concessions under pressure of violence, they're in for a big surprise.

Apathy Quotes
We are missing something. Our youth today is empty. No longer do the children dream and believe they can change the world. Apathy has destroyed the beautiful idealism of our youth. The intricate illusions and fearless aspirations. The gleam in a child's eye. God help us. All hope is truly lost.

Alex Quotes
Alex Smith is under no illusions as to why he was chosen where he was. It's not for him to go out there and make the Pro Bowl. That organization brought him in to bring a world championship to the city of San Francisco. Anything short of that, then that quarterback didn't fulfill the expectations of the organization. That's a tremendous burden. No one who's ever won a Super Bowl has ever done it by himself.

Accustomed Quotes
They have a history and tradition of winning in Campbell River and they expect nothing less than to be in this series every year. And that's the type of tradition we're looking to build here. Right now we've got a lot of veterans who just grew accustomed to being knocked out in the first round and we want to change that. We have no illusions this is going to be an easy series just because of the standings. Campbell River expects to win it every year and we need to work hard to show we belong.

Convey Quotes
It's really important that I'm able to convey the way he thinks, the way he justifies what he does to himself. The truth is, some of the dealers really are doing some good; they're helping good people fight oppression. In any case, I don't think the devil shows up with horns and pitchfork. I think the devil is a nice guy, seductive, appealing, fun to hang out with. If he wasn't, he wouldn't make friends, you know? I have no illusions this is going to be mass market movie, but I think it has a lot going on, a lot to think about.
