Jose Antonio VargasIf you're always in the company of people who agree with you, you're going to think of people who don't agree with you as venal or stupid.

Well, the real answer is, you can send 100 robots for the price of sending one geologist, so let's send 100 robots to 100 different locations, and then we would all benefit.

Caitlin MoranI knew Deng Xiaoping when he came out of prison. He had, after all, been imprisoned for nearly ten years by Mao. I know what China looked like before he took over, and so in my own mind, I don't think of Deng Xiaoping as an oppressor. I think of somebody who, faced with that crisis, made a very painful and decision with which I cannot agree. But I also think of him as a great reformer.

Lauren GrahamIn one question you are expressing a world of opinion. Because it is you who thinks that America has been mistakenly starting these conflicts. I happen to agree with you, and I will repeat what your question suggested...we have mistakenly gotten into one fracas after another.

Dean AchesonThis required abandoning the idea that there is a universal quantity called time that all clocks measure. Instead, everyone would have his own personal time.
