Scientists and theologians canโt offer better than circular arguments, because there are no other kinds of arguments. Bible believers quote the Bible, and scientists quote other scientists. How do either scientists or theologians answer this question about the accuracy of their conclusions: โIn reference to what?
Frank SchaefferIf you educate a boy, you educate a person, but if you educate a girl, you educate a family and benefit an entire community.โ An entire community - now that is really interesting! Then I found the quote changed a little more on the Kingdom of Jordan website by her Royal Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan during her interview with Oprah Winfrey. Queen Rania relates the quote in these words: โAs you educate a woman, you educate the family. If you educate the girls, you educate the future.
Queen Rania of JordanSometimes I wish my first word was 'quote,' so that on my death bed, my last words could be 'end quote.'
Steven WrightGeorge Clooney says that I'm "the last of your kind." That's a nice quote. I kind of like that quote. I'm a guy who shakes your hand and will never let you down. I have a code of honor and I don't lie. I have a code of honor about life and that's what he meant. And you don't need a contract with me.
Jerry WeintraubMy first quote was, I don't want to hurt God's people. Jim Bakker's quote was, I was set up by a female...
Jessica HahnDonald Trump believes that the world will be safer if more nations have nuclear weapons. He's said Saudi Arabia should get them, Japan should get them, Korea should get them. And when he was confronted with this and told, wait a minute, terrorists could get those, proliferation could lead to nuclear war, here's what Donald Trump said, and I quote, go ahead, folks, enjoy yourselves.
Tim KaineThe sports world is an echo chamber. All it takes is one quote from a general manager and a thousand sports columns bloom.
Michael LewisUnfortunately, the business is such that, as far as studios are concerned, they judge one quote-unquote black movie on how other โblackโ movies have done, even if they have nothing to do with each other Itโs too bad we canโt do well on our own merit when it comes to the studios. They donโt like to take risks and, unfortunately, weโre still considered a huge risk, even though I donโt think we are.
Taye DiggsI feel like a quote out of context, withholding the rest so I can be for you what you want to see.
Ben FoldsI thought the Wall Street Journal quote, they got a guy in Iowa to say I think exactly where I think this race is right now for a lot Republicans. He said, "Nobody in Iowa wants [Donald]Trump for president. But everybody in Iowa wants somebody like Trump for president." That's what you need.
Dalia MogahedAfter all this time and all this, quote, "experience," how is she [Hillary Clinton] not better at this [military]?
John McCainIn my opinion, Chief Justice Roberts put it best during his recent confirmation hearings. And he said, and I quote, "The framers were not the sort of people, having fought a revolution to get the right of self-government to sit down and say, 'Well, let's take all the difficult issues before us and let's have the judges decide them.' That would have been the farthest thing from their mind," however, I fear that the Supreme Court forgets this advice.
Mike DeWineA very wise quote is a spectacular waterfall! When you see it, you feel its power!
Mehmet Murat IldanThe weird thing is that I hate to fly, and the quote that I give people is that every time I get off a plane, I view it as a failed suicide attempt.
Barry SonnenfeldI've been asked a lot for my view on American health care. Well, 'it would be a good idea,' to quote Gandhi.
Paul FarmerSeth's quote from his book: "And if I only could I'd make a deal with God and I'd get Him to swap our places" -"Running up that Hill" by Kate Bush
Richelle MeadI would never say someone's else's film isn't 'a real film.' The quote is inaccurate.
Christopher NolanZionists believe they are entitled by God to the land, groves and homes of the non-Jewish underclass. They quote the Bible as the reference that 'God gave them the land.' The size of the alleged God-given land has never been determined and Israel's borders still remain fuzzy.
Lee WhitnumMy construction of the constitution is very different from that you quote. It is that each department is truly independent of the others, and has an equal right to decide for itself what is the meaning of the constitution in the cases submitted to its action; and especially, where it is to act ultimately and without appeal.
Thomas JeffersonThe essence of a quote is the compression of a mass of thought and observation into a single saying.
John Morley, 1st Viscount Morley of BlackburnAll life is an experiment. Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which animates all whom it floats, and you are without effort impelled to truth, to right and a perfect contentment. I wish to write such rhymes as shall not suggest a restraint, but contrariwise the wildest freedom. Immortality. I notice that as soon as writers broach this question they begin to quote. I hate quotation. Tell me what you know.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIt is the little writer rather than the great writer who seems never to quote, and the reason is that he is never really doing anything else.
Havelock EllisOur country, customs, laws, our ambitions, and our notions of fit and fair-all these we never made; we found them ready-made; we but quote from them. What would remain to me if this art of appropriation were derogatory to genius? Every one of my writings has been furnished to me by a thousand different persons, a thousand things; wise and foolish have brought me, without suspecting it, the offering of their thoughts, faculties, and experience. My work is an aggregation of beings taken from the whole of nature. It bears the name of Goethe.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe surest way to make a monkey of a man is to quote him. That remark in itself wouldnโt make any sense if quoted as it stands. The average man ought to be allowed a quotation of no less than three sentences, one to make his statement and two to explain what he meant. Ralph Waldo Emerson was about the only one who could stand having his utterances broken up into sentence quotations, and every once in a while even he doesnโt sound so sensible in short snatches.
Robert BenchleyDon't outline your stories. A lot of fiction workshops say you should. I say the opposite. I quote Grace Paley: "We write what we don't know we know."
Andre DubusI learned to write from reading. I had no writing classes. It's part of my thinking as the writer-author, reading, but then I also want to bring this into my characters, who also read and think. There's that great quote from Virginia Woolf - it's very simple: "...books continue each other." I think when you're a writer, you're also, hopefully, a reader, and you're bringing those earlier works into your work.
Lynne TillmanWhen [Jimmy] Carter did quote them, he quoted them in what I believe were misapplications, such as arguing for the creation of a federal Department of Education. In one case, Carter quoted [Tomas] Jefferson's and [George] Washington's appreciation of education and then, in a leap, implied that they would be delighted that he was creating a giant federal bureaucracy for education.
Paul KengorRemember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. I really hope no one misinterprets this quote as being about masturbation.
Audrey HepburnShall we not rejoice then and revel in the glorious liberty of extract, and quote to the thousandth line? Shall we not have pages like the Pyramids?
Samuel Laman BlanchardFinally, one night we were smoking pot [with Michael O'Donoghue] and talking about the people that are invariably in high school, whether you go to prep school or public school or ghetto school or rich suburban school. And actually, it spun off from a Kurt Vonnegut quote.
P. J. O'RourkeI love this quote when Valerian the King of the Nymphs says to his mate Shaye; "I am Valerian, leader of the nymphs. You may call me Oh God, that is what the other surface dwellers have preferred to call me".
Gena ShowalterI agree with the Lev Tolstoy quote completely, but I also feel like there's more to it. What is a happy family and an unhappy family? We're probably both of those things at the same time.
Peter OrnerWe have never pushed it far enough to know, but we decided 47 percent was the right percentage. You can quote us on that. It's very mathematical.
Cinco PaulWhen I do research, I have done - 90 percent of my time is the research, the other ten percent is the writing. So I don't have to face a blank piece of paper. I can look at this as a quote that I have from somewhere.
Doris Kearns GoodwinYou, quote, find your voice, unquote, when you are able to invent this one character who resembles you, obviously, and probably is more like you than anyone else on earth, but is not the equivalent to you.
Billy CollinsRoddenberry had his own utopian vision about he perfectibility of man, and I never really believed that. And I donโt think the show demonstrates that. I think it is about gunboat diplomacy. In the final analysis, the Enterprise fires. Theyโre always shooting and bringing civilization, and coming to worlds where they donโt approve of tyrannical enterprises โ no pun intended โ and they substitute their own quote unquote enlightened version of how society is supposed to work, which is essentially American.
Nicholas MeyerListen up. Rant would tell people: โYouโre a different human being to everybody you meet.โ Sometimes Rant said, โYou only ever is in the eyes of other folks.โ If you were going to carve a quote on his grave, his favorite saying was: โThe future you have tomorrow wonโt be the same future you had yesterday.
Chuck Palahniuk
