Sir Eric Geddes
That's a big goal of mine, to try and grow as much of my own food as possible.
Daryl Hannah
To see ourselves as others see us can be eye-opening. To see others as sharing a nature with ourselves is the merest decency. But it is from the far more difficult achievement of seeing ourselves amongst others, as a local example of the forms human life has locally taken, a case among cases, a world among worlds, that the largeness of mind, without which objectivity is self-congratulation and tolerance a sham, comes.
Clifford Geertz
I've seen a lot of movies get made where no one has control. No one likes it.
Seth Rogen

Conductors' careers are made for the most part with 'Romantic' music. 'Classic' music eliminates the conductor we do not remember him in it.
Igor Stravinsky
Irish Americans are no more Irish than Black Americans are Africans.
Bob Geldof
The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
Henry Geldzahler
People may correctly remember the events of twenty years ago (a remarkable feat), but who remembers his fears, his disgusts, his tone of voice? It is like trying to bring back the weather of that time.
Martha Gellhorn
Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people.
John Quincy Adams
Unless they are immediate victims, the majority of mankind behaves as if war was an act of God which could not be prevented; or they behave as if war elsewhere was none of their business. It would be a bitter cosmic joke if we destroy ourselves due to atrophy of the imagination.
I'll know how to die with courage that is easier than living.
Georg Buchner
I see mysteries and complications wherever I look, and I have never met a steadily logical person.
Prosperity is living easily and happily in the real world, whether you have money or not.
Jerry Gellis
Though I had success in my research both when I was mad and when I was not, eventually I felt that my work would be better respected if I thought and acted like a 'normal' person.
John Forbes Nash
Where secrecy reigns, carelessness and ignorance delight to hide while skill loves the light.
Daniel C. Gelman
Cause at the end of the day, honestly, at the end of the day when you're in your death bed and that's it, I think it's the relationships you've had and the people that you've touched and the people that have touched you that matter.
Julie Benz
Anyone who saw Nagasaki would suddenly realize that they'd been kept in the dark by the United States government as to what atomic bombs can do.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Do you want my one-word secret of happiness -- It's growth -- mental, financial, you name it.
Harold S. Geneen
I don't believe in just ordering people to do things. You have to sort of grab an oar and row with them.
The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.
Flannery O'Connor
For it pleased God, after he had made all things by the word of his power, to create man after his own image.
George Whitefield
I'll never forget that show season. It was completely mad. I was staying between Christy and Naomi's rooms and it was all limos and the Ritz Hotel and all that kind of business.
Kate Moss
In the free/libre software movement, we develop software that respects users' freedom, so we and you can escape from software that doesn't.

Elizabeth Hurley
A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.
Gerald R. Ford
I hate most of what constitutes rock music, which is basically middle-aged crap.
Sting
Take away hatred from some people, and you have men without faith.
Eric Hoffer
I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?
Dave Grohl
I remember opening my dad's closet and there were, like, 40 suits, every color of the rainbow, plaid and winter and summer. He had two jewelry boxes full of watches and lighters and cuff links. And just... he was that guy. He was probably unfulfilled in his life in many ways.
Jon Hamm
All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from.

Neil Gaiman
Listen, I have a great affection and respect for Joe Biden. I think he's been a great vice president. He's taken on a lot of tough assignments for our administration.
David Axelrod
The best thing we can do if we want the Russians to let us be Americans is to let the Russians be Russian.
George F. Kennan
There's one advantage in having been around as long as I have. Everybody in the Senate knows me, and - I'm going to say something presumptuous, to repeat myself - I think most respect me.
Joe Biden
