In most countries, it is possible to visit zoos and see bored animals pacing back and forth in cages, with nothing to do but wait for the next meal. Circuses are even worse places for animals. Their living conditions are deplorable, especially in travelling circuses where cages have to be small so that they can go on the road.

I like to go to parties if I know who's going to be there, and if it's people I want to be with. I don't just go to go. And I always drive myself, because I hate being stuck places - there's nothing worse that going out and then being stuck!

You leave the States, and you see people have bigger problems than you, much worse problems than you.

On a transcendental level, a film is not going to be better or worse because there's a prize behind it. The work will be what it is, with or without a prize.

The early versions of 'Shell's Wonderful World of Golf' were great. It's sort of interesting: as it progressed, it became worse and worse, but the early versions were really fantastic with Jimmy Demaret and Gene Sarazen. They were classics.

It's one of the few regrets of my presidency - that the rancor and suspicion between the parties has gotten worse instead of better.

Once religion has been dismissed by primarily an intellectual class of people, we lose the really useful social functions of religion... What replaces it might be worse than what we throw away.

The other reason Rufus and I are great together is that we're both really lazy. The rehearsing, the sound checks -- he's actually worse than I am, and that's something. To get us to do anything other than sit in our dressing rooms is a challenge. Who knows what will happen?

The positive today is that oil is coming down, the negative is that the housing numbers are worse than expected.

The only reason I think about it is that you guys (reporters) bring it up. It's worse if you think about it, so I try not to.

There is no question that the deficit this year will be worse than last year. A number of the improvements in May were temporary.

We believe that January sales may have been even worse had Microsoft continued its marketing push, and believe that sell through was helped in part by deep discounting of new releases during the month. January marked the fifth consecutive month of software sales decline, and we expect a return to double-digit sales declines in February, with an accelerating rate of decline in March.

We've always been the kind of people who like to help others. Now, it has been just one thing after another, but we know there are people still doing worse than we are.

We're going to do what we do all the time: gather together in peace. We're going to call for George Bush and the neo-cons not to invade Iran. That would be a mistake even worse than Iraq. Our children are sitting ducks in the Middle East; the people of Iran and Iraq would be sitting ducks. And I'm not even sure that this invasion won't lead to World War III. So it's something that we have to stop before it starts.

What a day. I was a bit disgusted coming off the 17th, but the lob wedge on the last spun back nicely and went in. There is no way I can play worse tomorrow than I did today. I felt like an eight-year-old again.

What he did in New Orleans -- I mean, that's worse than what Bull Connor did in his entire career as a racist in the South. Look at these neighborhoods before Katrina hit. Bush made that community what it is. Katrina did the rest, in partnership with Bush, to deliver the final blow.

We're saying, 'Louisville's Most Wanted' because it's heinous, but it could be heinous on several different levels. The person's still wrong. To say that he's not worse enough is probably not a good thing to really say.

There is a possibility that we will see some form of rationing with the conditions being as bad or worse than many people thought.

There are persons who cannot make friends. Who are they? Those who cannot be friends. It is not the want of understanding or good nature, of entertaining or useful qualities, that you complain of: on the contrary, they have probably many points of attraction; but they have one that neutralizes all these --they care nothing about you, and are neither the better nor worse for what you think of them. They manifest no joy at your approach; and when you leave them, it is with a feeling that they can do just as well without you. This is not sullenness, nor indifference, nor absence of mind; but they are intent solely on their own thoughts, and you are merely one of the subjects they exercise them upon. They live in society as in a solitude.

There are four or five plays every game that will determine the outcome, and those plays are (usually) special teams. There's nothing worse than your offense going eight or nine plays for a touchdown, and then you kick off and see the other team go all the way with one play. That's demoralizing. We've come to understand the importance of special teams.

We're a small band, but we have a following. Our records turn a profit, even if it's meager. And that's something to be said in this day and age.

There are things that will kill red tide but we have to be careful we're not using something worse than red tide.

When you're an everyday player, not playing is very hard. It's worse when the games are close because you can't do anything about it.

When you're 1-10 it's a hurtful period. It's not who makes fun of you because you feel worse about yourself.

That's what you're proud of for Texas, that they've asked you to do something and you've gotten it to this point.

When your defense scores two touchdowns and causes four turnovers and you still lose, that's bad. That's real bad. We couldn't do (anything) on offense. That might have been the worse offense I've ever seen ever.

Man, if we're worried about him, we got a real problem, seriously. If anybody's going to be jacked up it's probably going to be him. I'm not worried about him. They're probably doing worse than we are.

Let's assume steroids are very bad to take, but I have no doubt that they are not worse than cigarettes, ...

Let's face it, I could have killed myself, and my family, my mother who means so much to me, would have spent the rest of her life mourning me.

If that doesn't scare you, then something's wrong with you.

Many novice writers try to avoid using 'said' by substituting synonyms: 'he uttered,' 'she murmured,' 'he questioned.' It's true that any word repeated too often becomes monotonous, but substitutions for 'said' can be worse than its repetition.

Many people think that history is a dull subject. Dull? Is it "dull" that Jesse James once got bitten on the forehead by an ant, and at first it didn't seem like anything, but then the bite got worse and worse, so he went to a doctor in town, and the secretary told him to wait, so he sat down and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and then finally he got to see the doctor, and the doctor put some salve on it? You call that dull?

She was truly the first lady of the human rights movement. The only thing worse than losing her is if we never had her.

She's not just a 15-year-old girl. She's a 15-year-old girl who happens to have striking looks and also happens to be 6-feet tall. Let's face it, for better or for worse and in her case it's better she sticks out from the crowd for lots of reasons. This is all part of the appeal.

Minnesota is a good team, but we didn't bring our game. No one was ready to play. It was embarrassing. Sure, we played good in spurts, but that's not enough. We should've been excited to play the No. 1 team in the country. It could've been a lot worse if it hadn't been for Isaac.

Mother nature is not cooperating. Things will get worse as the day progresses.

Most writers tend to get worse rather than better. I'm determined to be one that gets better.
