When I was younger, my father was in the Foreign Service and we lived in Nigeria, Panama, and London, but for the most part I grew up in the South and D.C. I got the travel bug as a little person and I've bounced around a lot.
The truth is, our corporate income taxes are some of the highest in the world, and frankly, in my judgment it's unpatriotic if you're not for reducing the corporate income tax. We want to make it so American companies are on a more level playing fiel...
Ray Kinsella: [about the reclusive Terence Mann] OK, the last interview he ever gave was in 1973. Guess what it's about. Annie Kinsella: Some kind of team sport.
Terence Mann: I wish I had your passion, Ray... Misdirected though it might be, it is still a passion. I used to feel that way about things, but...
Ray Kinsella: What are you grinning at, you ghost? Shoeless Joe Jackson: If you build it... [nods toward John Kinsella] Shoeless Joe Jackson: ... HE will come.
[Ray and Annie are talking on the phone] Ray Kinsella: Hey, Annie. Guess what? I'm with Terence Mann! Annie Kinsella: Oh, my God! You kidnapped him!
The Collector: These carriers can use the stone to mow down entire civilisations like wheat in a field. Peter Quill: There's a little pee coming out of me right now.
Auric Goldfinger: Man has climbed Mount Everest, gone to the bottom of the ocean. He's fired rockets at the Moon, split the atom, achieved miracles in every field of human endeavor... except crime!
Final quotes: His machine was never perfected, though it generated a whole field of research into what became known as "Turing Machines". Today we call them "computers".
[Mendoza is repeatedly dragging a load of armor up a cliff as penance for killing his brother] Fielding: How long must he carry that stupid thing? Gabriel: God knows.
Fielding: Father, he's done this penance long enough, and well, the other brothers think the same. Gabriel: But he doesn't think so, John. Until he does, neither do I.
Sheriff McClelland: Where'd you get the coffee? Field Reporter: One of the volunteers. You're doing all the work, you take it. Sheriff McClelland: Thank you.
Higgins: It'd have to be somebody in the community. Joe Turner: Community. Higgins: Intelligence field. Joe Turner: Community! Jesus, you guys are kind to yourselves. Community.
I think the American Dream used to be achieving one's goals in your field of choice - and from that, all other things would follow. Now, I think the dream has morphed into the pursuit of money: Accumulate enough of it, and the rest will follow.
I come from a small town and I come from a background where we didn't have money to travel. I thought I'd have to join the military to get to Europe. So I'm thrilled to travel.
The Internet has become a remarkable fount of economic and social innovation largely because it's been an archetypal level playing field, on which even sites with little or no money behind them - blogs, say, or Wikipedia - can become influential.
The field of ageing research is full of characters. We have hucksters claiming that cures for ageing can be bought and sold; prophetic seers, their hands extended for money, warning that immortality is nigh; and would-be Nobelists working methodicall...
Money is an unavoidable consequence, but it isn't the reason I write; if it was, I wouldn't have written any of the YA books, because advances in that field are small compared to what I'd got now for an 'adult' DW.
When I was in Birmingham I used to go to a place called Redwood Field. I used to get there for a two o'clock game. Where can you make this kind of money playing sports? It was just a pleasure to go out and enjoy myself and get paid for it.
To have the kind of year you want to have, something has to happen that you can't explain why it happened. Something has to happen that you can't coach.
We have seen that no religion stands on the basis of things known; none bounds its horizon within the field of human observation; and, therefore, as it can never present us with indisputable facts, so must it ever be at once a source of error and con...
