Ascribe Quotes

Assess Quotes
When you assess the vulnerability of the supply system which is something that's been done many, many times by a lot of different organizations the water distribution system, meaning the water mains, are not considered to really be at risk. You're talking about an enclosed and pressurized system.
-
Death Quotes
Life has no meaning any more does it? The wine has no taste, the food sickens you, there seems no reason for any of it, does there? But what if I could give it back to you. Pluck out the pain, and give you another life, one you could never imagine, and it would be for all time. And sickness and death could never touch you again. Don't be afraid, I'm going to give you the choice, I, never, had.

Affects Quotes
Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings. And unexpressed feelings come forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rage or anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are other embodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing, not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the quality of their relationships with others.

Against Quotes
Since music is a language with some meaning at least for the immense majority of mankind, although only a tiny minority of people are capable of formulating a meaning in it, and since it is the only language with the contradictory attributes of being at once intelligible and untranslatable, the musical creator is a being comparable to the gods, and music itself the supreme mystery of the science of man, a mystery that all the various disciplines come up against and which holds the key to their progress.

Amount Quotes
One of the things you'll discover... as you listen to your own soul is that you spend a great amount of your life trying to bring meaning to your own life. And, by the way, most people are not going to church, so the place they're actually trying to find meaning in their life is at work.

Cigars Quotes
One time, ... I was doing 'Studs Place,' my early TV show, and I'm supposed to be quitting cigars and I'm yearning for a smoke and I quote from the 'Odyssey.' I say, I am Ulysses passing the Isle of Circe. Meaning I got these temptations. Truck drivers called in and said they liked the classical reference.

Almost Quotes
My experience in Austin, for example, is impoverished because my coffee experience is the same experience as anywhere else. It's almost dispiriting to find yourself in New York or London and every corner has a Starbucks. Part of what defines space and gives it meaning is its uniqueness.
-
Basis Quotes
No, I don't think there is. Sometimes it's hard to give meaning to a constitutional term in a particular case. But you don't look to your own values and beliefs. You look outside yourself to other sources. This is the basis for ? you know, judges wear black robes because it doesn't matter who they are as individuals. That's not going to shape their decision. It's their understanding of the law that will shape their decision.

Bit Quotes
Obviously, this game holds special meaning for me. I had five good years there and I'm very appreciative of everything that they did for me when I was there. At the same time, obviously, it was tough the way it ended and there's certainly a little bit more emotion involved in this game for me than any other game.
-
Begin Quotes
If the rules of a language are followed, words usually make sense. But these very rules can stir the impulse to rebel. We're obliged to keep trying to convey meaning through correct sentences. After a while, the good-soldier rigidity of polished prose can begin to seem dull, and it gets harder to resist the temptation of nonsense.

Along Quotes
Cell phones, to me, are a joke. When we grew up we had a party line for six homes, meaning you had to wait for everyone else from the other five homes to be off the line before you could make a call. You know what? Society seemed to get along fine. When you got your own telephone land line, it was like you were a wealthy person.

Budget Quotes
Bush's budget wants us to declare that we should keep channeling ever more of the nation's wealth to those who are already the most wealthy, and to fund it by taking money from education, the poor, the disabled and from the impoverished elderly. That is the naked meaning of his never-ending tax cuts for the wealthy and his program cuts for the weak.
-
Came Quotes
For us, Easter has new meaning than it ever did in the past. I was the skeptic when it came to this kind of thing. I want people to know that if, like me, they have a place in their lives that feels empty, there is hope. All they have to do is take that all important, seemingly treacherous step to give their lives over spiritually. I know now, even when I was out there doing my own thing, God was looking after me.

Best Quotes
Greico is a natural point guard and does a good job getting us set offensively, and Larsen is just a do-it-all type of kid who knows how to score, ... But best of all, this is a group of kids, all of them, who are competitive the right way ... meaning that they have a strong desire to win games.

Action Quotes
What do we mean by setting a man free? You cannot free a man who dwells in a desert and is an unfeeling brute. There is no liberty except the liberty of some one making his way towards something. Such a man can be set free if you will teach him the meaning of thirst, and how to trace a path to a well. Only then will he embark upon a course of action that will not be without significance. You could not liberate a stone if there were no law of gravity -- for where will the stone go, once it is quarried?

Artificial Quotes

No matter how permanent and even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary.

Acceptance Quotes
Holiness is neither that passionate love of the beginning, nor the tormenting anxiety of the long waits and of the moonlight walks, but is that superior form of friendship that is given this time a true eternal look, of comprehension, of acceptance of the self sacrifice for friendship, understanding and complementarity. Holiness occurs when the two souls involved in this phenomenon becomes complementary, become one. When those two become one, when the unity can no longer be destroyed, then love acquires the meaning of holiness. Holiness is piety and faith, is fulfilment and self sacrifice, because holiness requires all of this. Faith is a characteristic of the holiness and this is why it is blind to many of the reasons in every day life

Amount Quotes
I actually think it's harder to write a song than poetry. I try to pick words that sound lyrical and good and have the right amount of meaning, but if I read them written down, it looks awful. That's why a lot of times, the lyrics come afterward for me, and those somehow have more meaning than having a lyrical idea first and putting music to it.
-
Burned Quotes
Hanukkah represents the eight days that oil burned in the temple when there was only enough to burn for one night. Our gathering this year has even more meaning in light of recent events. As small as our Jewish group has become that's met in Diamondhead for 20 years, it's important that we be together. No one remains untouched by the hurricane.

Footage Quotes
Just the sadness of, we're there, but don't want to have those people in harm's way, and yet we do have to support (the troops). It's kind of painful, and I had always imagined just seeing footage of the troops, it's like history repeating itself ? here we are again. That was the meaning to me.

Birds Quotes
I think it is a worrisome situation, especially because we think that swans could be an indicator species, meaning that swans are relatively susceptible and so it could well be that other aquatic birds could be infected. Now we have seen it in Greece and Italy and now Germany. It is spreading all over Europe.

Bit Quotes
It caught me a little bit off guard, ... At first, I lost my memory for a moment, that music had a meaning and integrity and that it was not just about business. But then that moment only lasted for about a minute and then I came to my senses and said 'It is about marketing and making money.'

Acceptable Quotes
I think (the market) needs the ECI price deflator numbers coming in at acceptable levels, meaning that they don't raise the fear of inflation, it needs the Fed not raising interest rates in August and as we move toward the fall, continuing signs that the economy is moderating and that inflation is low.
-
Addition Quotes
I think the concept is a wonderful concept. It'll be carried on television. Because of the nationalism involved, it could take on greater meaning in countries like Japan or the Dominican Republic or Venezuela than perhaps it would in the United States. But because of the nationalistic feeling, it could be a nice little launching pad because it is played in March. I think it's an interesting concept that should grow over the years. If you give it time, five or six or seven years from now, this could be a nice addition to the sports landscape and a big event.

Amazing Quotes
It has been amazing to see how Trent has grown as a music artist, his lyrics have taken on a new meaning now because they are so real. I think, like a lot of artists, in the early stages he spent time questioning what he was supposed to be and when he found that what he was looking for was what he had always known, himself, it was a turning point.
