Quotes:There's nobody in the Labour Party, Gordon Brown through to the person who joined last week, who is not concerned and deeply upset and even depressed about what has
happened over the last week - it's been a dreadful time
View quotes by Alan JohnsonThis is absolutely sensational. I was speechless when it all
happened yesterday and I'm virtually speechless again today. I'm taking it all in and, I've got to say, this is great for the game of cricket. [on his Ashes-winning innings at the Oval 2005]
View quotes by Kevin PietersenI believe the bicentenary offers us a chance not just to say how profoundly shameful the slave trade was - how we condemn its existence utterly and praise those who fought for its abolition - but also to express our deep sorrow that it could ever have
happened and rejoice at the better times we live in today
View quotes by Tony BlairOn Sharon Stone (Quick and the Dead):
'She was instrumental about me getting my first American job. Absolutely, without her support, it would not have
happened. At the same time, however, was it really about me or her wanting to flex her producerial muscles? I don't want to sound ungallant about the situation. But I didn't find that in working with her, that we clicked on any other level.'
View quotes by Russell CroweYour purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it
happened and to picture it for the audience.
View quotes by Dale CarnegieI don't think we've been influenced massively by our success and by our travels. The lyrics [singer Chris Martin] writes are more basic than that, more basic, emotional ideas rather than life experiences. There's probably a few lines in there which reflect what's
happened in the last year or so, but it's hard to say
View quotes by Guy BerrymanI would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has
happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again... the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul.
View quotes by J G BallardThere is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.There is another theory which states that this has already
happened.
View quotes by Douglas AdamsHe turns into a madman. His plan hasn't worked, and like a lot of people in that situation he blames everyone but himself. Deep down he knows that he's as much to blame as anyone for what has
happened but Sally is the closest person to him and it is in his nature to blame her. He's a very selfish man. [About his character Greg Kelly in Coronation Street]
View quotes by Stephen BillingtonI look at my hands and go, 'Hmm...what
happened? Whose hands are those? Oh my God, they're mine'
View quotes by Sheryl CrowI had been thinking about how greatness always has a hand from luck or fate. That no one ever achieves anything with their will alone. The luck or fate that helped us, amongst many others, was that my sister
happened to know these two heavy metal kids David Navarro and Stephen Perkins.
View quotes by Eric AveryI’m really clumsy, so I trip and fall a lot. And every time I perform in New York my pants split onstage. That’s
happened four or five times. Every time, I pull on my mom’s jeans as fast as I can, so there we are, standing backstage without our pants on. It’s like a curse
View quotes by Jessica SimpsonReports that say that something hasn't
happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know
View quotes by Donald RumsfeldWe needed to make sure that if we needed to go 10 yards, we went 10 yards and not nine because we'd get found out. And that's what
happenedView quotes by Gary MegsonHeroin on any basis is a worse drug, a more dangerous drug than cannabis, but heroin in its pharmaceutical preparation, diamorphine, is available on prescription for people in pain and it's very widely prescribed.
So the law does not say that, because a drug is classed as illegal it therefore should not be available on prescription. What it does say, however, is that before drugs are available on prescription they've got to be properly tested and reearched. Not that that's
happened to a lot of opiates, heroin and cocain derivatives.
So far the medical researchers have not been able to prove, indeed very few have tried, that there are real beneficial medicinal effects from cannabis.
View quotes by Jack StrawIn crossing a heath, suppose I pitched my foot against a stone, and were asked how the stone came to be there: I might possibly answer, that for any thing I know to the contrary, it had lain there for ever: nor would it perhaps be very easy to show the absurdity of this answer. But suppose I had found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch
happened to be in that place; I should hardly think of the answer which I had before given, that for any thing I knew, the watch might have always been there. Yet why should not this answer serve for the watch, as well as for the stone? why is it not as admissable in the second case as in the first? For this reason, and for no other, viz., that when we come to inspect the watch, we perceive (what we could not discover in the stone) that its several parts are framed and put together for a purpose . . . This mechanism being observed . . . the inference, we think, is inevitable, that the watch must have had a maker; that there must have existed, at some time, and at some place of other, an artificer or artificers, who formed it for the purpose which we find it actually to answer; who comprehended its construction, and designed its use.
