Terms Quotations | Page 5

I want the government to provide the military so we don't get invaded by somebody and destroyed. I want the government to provide the roads so I can get from point A to B. In terms of taking care of my day to day needs, I want to do that myself. I want my community to do that.

I think one of the major misconceptions about me is that I live my life the way people think I lead my life, with hot and cold drinks running everywhere and a party all the time. They think of my life in terms of certain excesses that don't really exist. Things are actually fairly simple.

When people discuss the 1960s and the great Civil Rights Era, they often speak in romantic terms as if there wasn't immense work put in, and as if there wasn't immense sacrifice that took place. But none of those battles were easily fought and won; there were sustained movements behind them.

Classical - perhaps I should say 'orchestral' - music is so digital, so cut up, rhythmically, pitchwise and in terms of the roles of the musicians. It's all in little boxes. The reason you get child prodigies in chess, arithmetic, and classical composition is that they are all worlds of discontinuous, parceled-up possibilities.

In terms of mathematics textbooks, why can't you have the scale of a national market? Right now, we have a Texas textbook that's different from a California textbook that's different from a Massachusetts textbook. That's very expensive.

I'm an atheist, and the concept of god for me is all part of what I call 'the last illusion.' The last illusion is someone knows what is going on. Nearly everyone has that illusion somewhere, and it manifests not only in the terms of the idea that there is a god but that it knows what's going on but that the planets know what's going on.

The poet, being an imitator like a painter or any other artist, must of necessity imitate one of three objects - things as they were or are, things as they are said or thought to be, or things as they ought to be. The vehicle of expression is language - either current terms or, it may be, rare words or metaphors.

And so our goal on health care is, if we can get, instead of health care costs going up 6 percent a year, it's going up at the level of inflation, maybe just slightly above inflation, we've made huge progress. And by the way, that is the single most important thing we could do in terms of reducing our deficit. That's why we did it.

'You're fired' was not a part of the deal. And when I went into the first board room, the very first one, I'm looking at these people, and I had to fire somebody, but we never thought in terms of the expression 'You're fired.'

I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president - with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln - just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it.

What keeps me up at night? Sometimes it's day-to-day work stuff. And a lot of the times, it's, 'Am I making the wrong decisions in terms of reaching young women?'

The point of the book was to give fans an inside look at what a general manager does, in terms of personal interaction, in terms of trade-making, in terms of issues that general managers deal with.

If his point is, 'OK, John, that was a private conversation and I would prefer that you keep it that way,' I understand that.

The point is that Russia is too dependent on the European market, both in terms of oil and natural gas exports.

When you think of Tony, you think back to all that he's had to overcome in terms of injuries. What he's meant our team this year has really hard to calculate; he's been invaluable to us. Only now that we've seen how brilliant he has been you can't help but wonder what he could have meant to our team last year. In retrospect, we can now connect the dots and see what Julius was talking about when he could only practice with us that year.

When you think of al-Qaeda, you are not thinking of al-Qaeda in terms of one particular country, or one particular organization.

When you think about the realities of it, first of all you don't want your children in the sun all day long. It's the cause of cancer, in terms of sun.

What they see first is we're located in a major university environment. People realize our size and longevity mean something in terms of the program's quality.

When we first started the band here in LA, Janes Addiction was the band we looked up to. They came out at a time when there was a lot of glam rock and hair bands and they got put into that category, but they stood out because they were doing their own thing. We were kind of caught in the same kind of situation at another time: there were a lot of new-metal bands and wed get put into that category even though we didnt fit. Its funny that now theres bands like Mars Volta doing this prog-rock thing thats kinda getting popular, people put us in that genre now.

What always leads me in terms of my movies are characters.

We would still have been here if we could have come to terms with the union.

Eventually, hopefully, they'll start falling.

With my goal to make a family drama and also my artistic aspirations of doing things which are a bit edgy, I've gotten a really happy marriage in 'The Weather Man', ... Gore went outside the box and did something personal and artistic, but at the same time it hits all the right notes in terms of children that may be going through a divorce, or a husband and wife dealing with it in a way that's not Pollyanna or saccharine or B.S. I haven't made that many movies like it. I know I've never made a movie as individual as 'The Weather Man' in dealing with family issues.

With my adult books, for the first six weeks or so, it's about 60 percent ebooks in terms of sales. The kids' books, it's like 5 percent. Which means that the parents, the ones that aren't going into stores now, they're no longer buying books for their kids, which is not great.

We reiterate that they are welcome to participate on the same terms as other interested bidders, should they have a legitimate interest in pursuing an acquisition of the entire company.

We're just immature, and we're not where we need to be in terms of competitive greatness. Yet, there's times when there's flashes of very solid basketball. That's where we've been. I'm not happy with it, and we're very disappointed that two or three players couldn't step their game up and make the plays they needed to make when the game was in the balance.

We're hoping and believing that when the right thing is done, the city will work in cooperation (with Schuler) in terms of getting sewer service, which absolutely needs to happen.

We're really getting a critical mass in terms of the retail, which will be one of the largest unanchored collections of retail tenants in the country.

We're ready for spring training. I think fans are going to see the same thing in 2006 as they did in 2005 in terms of the ballpark experience. Yesterday's decision doesn't change anything in terms of the way we do business.

We're raising safety. We have a lot of workshops that deal with new legislation. The bar's being raised a bit higher in terms of safety.

We're racing the clock in terms of possible injury. We're racing the clock in terms of illness, and we're racing the clock to get them food and water.

With these other events, there's a commodity of some sort. We're running a Web site as well, so we would like to drive traffic there. Our feeling is, particularly in terms of a press conference, everybody is welcome to cover it, but if you want to see the full-blown transcription or if you want to watch the whole thing, then our site ought to be the place to find that.

With the second 'Captain America,' we really pushed the envelope in terms of what this guy is capable of, which I was excited to see. Because in the first 'Captain America,' he's just strong. In 'Avengers,' it was still, in my opinion, a little bit 'punch, punch, kick, kick.'
