Planet Quotations | Page 4

The wherewithal of this company is to make sure that there isn't a person on the planet that doesn't know that Barbie and Polly Pocket are coming to DVD. That hasn't been there before.

This closest visit to our planet was a lifetime event, ... I was glad to have been alive and there to watch this great event.

This band really has to be seen to be heard, if that makes any sense. One of our favorite things to do on this entire planet is to walk into a new market with a stone-cold audience who doesn't know quite what to expect and watch faces turn from sort of quizzical disdain to smiles. They may even be singing along with a chorus or two after a while.

This is a deep reflection of an overachiever that worked harder than anybody on the planet to live his dream,

This individual will not be on this planet mocking us, lecturing us, and heckling us and making fun of our children that he murdered. Don't worry,

This individual (McVeigh) will not be on this planet mocking us,

A lot of guys here didn't get a chance to play with Reggie or even get to know Reggie. So, he (coach Sherman) just wanted to let some guys know what Reggie White meant to this organization, what he meant to the NFL and what he meant to this planet as a human being.

Although its name mockingly evokes delusions of totalitarian grandeur, Planet Propaganda approaches a diverse range of media with commonsense thinking and carefree creative energy.

They have been on the planet for millions of years. Why doesn't it have the right to continue?

This medium will enjoy wider-spread use than television, radio or phones, and will ultimately expand beyond planet Earth,

There were three motives that brought invaders crossing the oceans to discover America. Those were gold, gospel, glory. There are four motives that bring the alien crossing the heavens to discover planet earth. Those are gold, gospel, glory, gene.

There's a lot at stake. This generation can transform coal used for burning - one of the dirtiest industrial activities on the planet - to, ironically, being one of the cleanest fuels from an air pollution standpoint.

They're bringing their data back, we think, through a straw. We're going to start opening up the fire hose ... We're going to be awash in data that will allow us to better understand the planet as a whole.

It's a bit embarrassing getting such a big prize. My collaborators really deserve it for all of their innovative and hard work. My long-time buddy, Paul Butler, has been the brains and the engine behind our planet search. I am indebted to him for every single planet we've found.

For every person in the world to reach the present U.S. level of consumption with existing technology would require four more planet earths.

For 27 years, it meant only one thing. And we carry a message about the life on this planet and the quality of it is sacred. Very simple, but sometimes complex.

It looks great on PowerPoint, but on planet Earth, it won't fly. Salesforce.com is a CRM company. Marc is trying to make noise and buzz about something bigger, but that's all it is.

It's another link between profligacy and power. We're the first generation on the planet where if you're successful you don't (always) have more children.

It's like uncorking the world's most carbonated beverage. What happens when a planet gets decompressed by 50 percent is something we don't understand very well at this stage, but it can shift the chemistry and physics all over the place, producing a complexity of materials that could very well account for the heterogeneity we see in meteorites.

It's going to be the greatest thing on planet Earth,

It shows that planet formation is really ubiquitous in the universe. It's a very robust process and can happen in all sorts of unexpected environments.

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

The object is only a million years old. If the planet formed within the million years that it took between star formation and when we're seeing it now, that probably makes it the youngest planet we have ever seen.

Everybody has busy lives, but you can tell people, 'Go outside and look at the night sky. We've been able to demonstrate that every star you see probably has a planet around it.'

The biggest problem that we have on the face of the planet is Iran getting a nuclear weapon.

The Beatles were in a different stratosphere, a different planet to the rest of us. All I know is when I heard 'Love Me Do' on the radio, I remember walking down the street and knowing my life was going to be completely different now the Beatles were in it.

Synthetic biology can help address key challenges facing the planet and its population. Research in synthetic biology may lead to new things such as programmed cells that self-assemble at the sites of disease to repair damage.

It's inevitable at a Lines Ballet performance: that moment when you wonder, what planet am I on?

I've found, being in Los Angeles, it's like living in a live-action Planet Hollywood.

Not having to face the electorate again he has made saving the planet from climate change one of his legacy projects for his third term.

Not even Tombaugh and his mentors could have forecast how fascinating their new planet would turn out to be.

There's this very vulnerable planet of ours with finite resources. Architects and designers have, I think, a fair responsibility for conserving energy and materials, and making things durable.

This is a very exciting result. It's the first demonstration that animals can survive a reentry event similar to what would be experienced inside a meteorite. It shows directly that even complex small creatures originating on one planet could survive landing on another without the protection of a spacecraft.

This is just one example of illegal activities that are destroying the Amazon. This rainforest is a global treasure that stabilizes the climate and is home to most land life on the planet and to millions of people. It's taken thousands of years to grow and once it's destroyed it's gone forever. Unless laws against these sorts of forest crime are rigorously and urgently enforced to protect the rainforest and its people, we'll have a biological catastrophe on our hands.

I want to see most of the planet online.

Once upon a time in the land of Shinar, God came down to see the city and the tower. People were united and spoke in one language. Then God confound their language and caused them scattered all over the planet earth. I believe, because of our technology, there will be one computer-based language on earth. Then God will come back again and make us all scattered all over the stars constellation.

Once one planet comes down with life, they all get it.

Not many hundreds of years ago, man stood on the shores of Europe looking at an endless horizon of oceans thinking that was it. People in America have thought the same thing, and it has played into man's self-centered arrogance that we are it when actually we're discovering that planet formation is as common as dirt on the beach.

Around 40 million people died in 1918 Spanish flu outbreak, ... There are six times more people on the planet now so you could scale it up to around 200 million people probably.

The last thing this planet needs is another punch thrown, another grenade tossed, another missile launched; to teach self-defense in today's world is to teach kindness, compassion, and protection from mediocrity.

The metaphor is so obvious. Easter Island, isolated in the Pacific Ocean ù once the island got into trouble, there was no way they could get free. There was no other people from whom they could get help. In the same way that we on Planet Earth, if we ruin our own (world) we won't be able to get help.

The fast-growing sunspot now covers an area of the solar disk equivalent to the surface area of 13 planet Earths. That makes it the largest sunspot of the current solar cycle.

I'm in constant search of new information and ideas, and I want to make the best of this short time that we're out here on this planet living this nebulous thing called life. And I want to plant a few trees along the way and nurture some minds and watch them grow, as people did for me.

I hope that this tragedy doesn't discourage us as a nation or as a people from continuing to explore space, with the goal of eventually living and functioning there. Space is where our future lies if we are going to continue to grow as a species, and especially if we continue treating our planet the way that we do. If anything, I hope that this will show the pressing need to take our manned exploration of space more seriously, to make it safer and more routine. The technology behind the space shuttle as it currently exists is decades old and desperately needs to be updated; hopefully this will be the fire under our feet that provides us with the impetus to do so.

I loved what she said about Cindy Sheehan. ... I think it's important that she exposed the oil companies' destruction of our planet and how they hire the military to kill village people where they are raping the resources and the people in Nigeria. And she's exposing the oil spills ... and how the Pentagon tried to hide the truth about atomic bombs (and paid a New York Times reporter) to write stories that covered up the radiation sickness,

In days gone by, scientists would speak solemnly about our solar system's 'habitable zone' - a theoretical region extending from Venus to Mars, but perhaps not encompassing either, where a planet would be the right temperature to have liquid water on its surface.

In a weird way, if you look at all the 'Apes' movies, they all seem like different stories in the same universe. 'Beneath the Planet of the Apes' is definitely a continuation, but the other ones jump all around chronologically.

Immediately after the game, what does he do? He gives credit to everybody else on the planet earth. That's unbelievable.

I met Sylvester Stallone back in 1995. He flew me from Atlanta to Orlando and my entire family met him and his wife at Planet Hollywood. We sat down and talked boxing. He loved boxing and all the things I had overcome. He really took a liking to me,

If you look at our own planet Earth, for half of its history, life was microscopic. It's the first step to more complicated life.

If you go back 40 years relatively few people had TVs. That medium has really changed the way the whole planet works,

In the world of today, which is disrupted by long-lasting disputes and violence, football is one of the very few universal tools mankind can use to bridge gaps between nations and peoples, and to symbolize what unites our planet over what divides it.

Intellectually, we know for certain that we are on this planet for a very brief period, yet we tend to live as if we were going to live forever, as if there were no end to our life or to the lives of our friends and family. This not-so-subtle denial of death persists throughout our lives, unless we are lucky enough to get a dramatic, usually painful and invariably life-changing wake-up call. The moments of our lives are ephemeral gifts, and we can not afford to miss even one of them. Happily, you don't have to wait for a painful wake-up call. You can notice the miracle of your life right now. Awareness is a choice.

In our modern age of Whole Foods and hybrid cars and flat screen TVs that are super-energy efficient, ... it's really about living a life that has concern for the planet around you but also doing it with style, authenticity and just a little bit of personal flair.

In order to know the true situation of a Planet at any particular time, the small set of balls are to be put each on its respective axis; then the winch to be turned round until each index points to the given time.

I'll never forget when I realized there was this connection -- it was tremendous to know something that no one else on the planet knew,

I hope for all of us that the future brings us towards evolving our consciousness. To delving deeper into our true power. To exploring more the key to sustaining our planet and our art for the better of all living things.

In abandoning the understanding that things - services, goods, wars, and houses - have costs, we risk becoming infantilised, incapable of making decisions about government or finance, and perhaps above all about the environment, the wellbeing of the planet upon which we depend and which our children will inherit from us.

If the 'millennium bug' has any truth, you're counting down 10-9-8 to zero and at the moment you scream, 'Happy new year!' or 'Happy millennium!' the lights all over the planet will go out,

If there is any programming language architect on the planet who has the experience and insight to pull this off, he'd be on short list.

Gamers both demand and deserve novelty. They need something new. As a game developer, one of my rules is there will be at least one thing in every game that I worked on that no one on the planet has seen before.

If everybody thought they'd see a celebrity each time you went to a Planet Hollywood, that person would be there on a consistent basis. But again, it's that one-time experience that's not renewed,

I don't think there is a publisher association on the planet who says, 'Oh, this is a good idea,' ... 'Trust me. I'm copying your full book, but, believe me, I'm only going to use a little bit.'

I don't think the planet can survive people. It's not the other way around. I don't think the planet can survive.

I don't think doing good for the planet has to be inconsistent with doing good for our shareholders.

I believe, I truly believe, that humans will be living off of this planet, at some point in the future. It's inevitable for us, and it seems like a reasonable and realistic progression for us as a human race. We won't last on this planet - not forever.

I believe if people understood each other more, if people took the time and realize it's not 'all about me' and I'm on a big planet with a lot of other people and concerns, maybe we can learn how to get along with each other.

If Congress had not restored the funding, the opportunity for reaching the last unvisited planet in our solar system would have been lost for a generation.

Gorgon: The Monsters That Ruled the Planet Before Dinosaurs and How They Died in the Greatest Catastrophe in the Earth's History

For the first time, we have the power to decide the fate of our planet and ourselves, ... This is a time of great danger, but our species is young, and curious, and brave. It shows much promise.

You can't replace a Schweitzer. He was probably more important in the locker room the past two years than on the field. I don't know if there's too many other people on the planet like him as far as motivating (teammates).

These are places I would want to live if God were to put our planet around another star.

The fluttering of a butterfly's wings can effect climate changes on the other side of the planet

A generation of Earth Days has conditioned millions of us to be green in our homes yet we must apply the same ethic to our politics if we want to save our planet and our democracy.

The classical world is a completely different planet from the rock world. But I was welcomed with open arms by the orchestra musicians. I walked into their world, they didn't walk into mine. Once I worked with them they were very impressed and I gained their acceptance.

The first question we would ask if aliens landed on this planet is not, 'What does this mean for the economy or jobs?' It would be, 'Are they friendly or unfriendly?'

The discovery in 1846 of the planet Neptune was a dramatic and spectacular achievement of mathematical astronomy. The very existence of this new member of the solar system, and its exact location, were demonstrated with pencil and paper; there was left to observers only the routine task of pointing their telescopes at the spot the mathematicians had marked.

(The market) is telling you that at these levels, given all the warnings we've had from every Fed governor on the planet about the risk of higher interest rates, that people are nervous in front of tomorrow,

The lightning speed with which these copies spread around the planet was horrifying, ... No matter how much you spend on security or what precautions you take, the grim truth is once a film gets uploaded on the Internet, suddenly it's everywhere.

The light from the sun breaks through space, bathing our planet as it encircles the sun with life-giving warmth and light. Without the sun, there could be no life on this planet; it would be forever barren, cold, and dark.

Many organizations were initially scared of the Internet and email. Now there's hardly a workplace on the planet that doesn't have an Internet connection.

What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?

This is a tale of a meeting of two lonesome, skinny, fairly old white men on a planet which was dying fast.

This planet has -- or rather had -- a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

I told him that if we doubted that we are demons in Hell, he should read The Mysterious Stranger, which Mark Twain wrote in 1898, long before the First World War (1914-1918). In the title story he proves to his own grim satisfaction, and to mine as well, that Satan and not God created the planet earth and ""the damned human race."" If you doubt that, read your morning paper. Never mind what paper. Never mind the date.

Evolution made civilization steward of this planet. A hundred thousand years later, the steward stood before evolution not helper but destroyer, not healer but parasite. So evolution withdrew its gift, passed civilization by, rescued the planet from intelligence and handed it to love.

In the absence of the planet Venus, who has gone on business to the Horse Guards.
