Alcohol is a very necessary article... It makes life bearable to millions of people who could not endure their existence if they were quite sober. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning.
George Bernard Shaw

Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge.
Scott Adams
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
Well, I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs. One should always eat muffins quite calmly. It is the only way to eat them.
Oscar Wilde
I can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible.
Oscar Wilde
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing, as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.

Alfred North Whitehead
Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.
Charles M. Schulz
It has beeen said that the love of money is the root of all evil. The want of money is so quite as truly.
Samuel Butler
But pain... seems to me an insufficient reason not to embrace life. Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
George S. Patton
You drop quite a bit of dough to get to these places.

John Galsworthy
... the use of our intelligence quite properly gives us pleasure. In this respect the brain is like a muscle. When we think well, we feel good. Understanding is a kind of ecstasy.
Carl Sagan
The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary: men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.
Joseph Conrad
I don't have hobbies; hobbies cost money. Interests are quite free.
George Carlin
It is now no mystery that some quite influential 'philosophers' were 'mentally' ill.
Alfred Korzybski
It's put quite a bind on the center.
Steve Rasmussen
In the first half, we were a little passive on offense. In the second half, Hooper stepped up big, and I challenged her to take it to the goal, and she did that and got quite a few good looks.
Angie Lucier
After my last solo album in '93, I got heavily into the film-composing thing. I didn't really have much to say... I was going through a divorce at that point, and to be quite honest, I really wasn't in the mood for making a CD then.
Stanley Clarke
It seemed we just couldn't quite get over the hump. We shot the ball well, rebounded with them even though they had a considerable size advantage but we just couldn't get over the hump.
Tim Peterson
It's quite hearty in the environment.
Mark Atkinson
He had quite a day. He was the star who shone for us Saturday.
Adam Estrada
These do not represent a big proportion of revenues, but quite small changes to the top line filter through into the bottom line.
Patrick Mcdonald
The market potential is quite large but unquantifiable. You could be looking at a market ... one third (the size) of the 35mm movie film market.
Steve Roach
You're going to see G.M.'s incentive spending going down quite a bit. It's a paradigm shift.
Brent Dewar
I don't know how many good shots they put up. I know they missed a lot of shots, but I don't know how many were forced or hurried, but I would say quite a few of them were. They were frustrated and pressure defense can do that to a team.
Buell Gonzales Jr
We've got quite a few alligators out here, as a matter of fact, and they're a lot of fun to watch when you see them out here in the lake, but we haven't had any problems with the alligators.
Jack Huntley
It's like wearing ill-fitting garments, ... They don't quite fit.
Dan Savage

Tas Pepito
We couldn't quite pull it out, but I'm extremely proud of all of them.
Pat Mcaran
Quite honestly, I feel like we might of had some money in hand if we'd had a consultant.
Randal Turner
Dave hasn't been taken down all season. That's quite an accomplishment.

Newcastle played quite defensively, but we had to keep playing and get through in the last 20 minutes, and we managed to do it.
Freddie Ljungberg
They have quite a ways to come to meet standards, but they can.
Jerry Buendel
I'd love to see light at the end of the tunnel, but it seems it's quite a ways off. We really need to fix this situation.
Pat Widlitz
It?s quite possibly the greatest honor any football player can receive.
Kyle Mcallister
We are not quite sure if he is alive or dead.
Baqir Jabbur
Things have improved better than expected but it was quite possible SARS would linger for many months more than it did.
Peter Hilton
It tends to indicate these Earth-mass planets are quite common, 10 to 50 times more common than previously believed.
Andrew Gould

Irving R. Kaufman
It's quite a striking paint scheme.
John Engstrom
She is as beautiful on the inside as she out and loyal without question to her friends. Quite frankly, I think the Royal Family are lucky to have her.
Gemma Williamson
At some point this will become so annoying that someone will want to change it. I'm quite confident that people are not going to be happy with multiple leap seconds per year.
Dennis Mccarthy
It was quite a difficult mission almost from start to finish.
Chuck Dovale
At the time I played with him (Ian), I didn't think I would ever play with another quite like him. I really didn't think that his record would ever be broken.
Dennis Bergkamp
It was about things he had always wanted to write about, but was never quite able to.
Bruce Jackson
We finished December quite well. Between Christmas and the new year, we were really busy.
Richard Dixon
This makes it quite a lot less likely that it will (reduce rates) but it doesn't rule it out completely.
Robert Prior
Clearly, high gasoline prices took quite a toll on the typical consumer.
David Huether
Kohl's has been in turnaround mode for quite a while, and that's finally kicking in. There's been good reception for some of their new brands.
Keri Spanbauer
He's been away on holidays in Europe and was due back at work on Monday. It's quite unbelievable the fact that he won't be there.
Greg Pierce
Coach Battle was more to himself, not quite as vocal, very methodical and businesslike. Coach Majors was real vocal, with a lot of energy.
David Parsons
He's a (heck) of an athlete. He's a great kid. His accomplishments in these sports is quite an achievement.
Pat Tarrant
We definitely have a lot of input. All of us are quite artistic so we like to get involved in the album and single covers. It's horrible when it feels like something's being done for you.
Tom Fletcher
With all the chocolate companies out there. It is quite an honor to have someone whose entire business is centered on taste and style to pick your product to represent their company as a Christmas gift.
Jeff Shepherd
I think we have every opportunity now to shift from the party-type image that the destination has always had to a more upscale place with quite a bit of options.
Antonio Pitta
She's doing quite well with the team. She really beefs up our defensive line.
Beth Mccann
I was interested in these two performers who felt they could do something quite symbiotic.
Terry Johnson
We're quite confident we're on the right track.
Gerta Keller
I don't think we're in danger of going back to the kind of cycles of the '70s or the late '80s. I think the economy is still quite flexible.
Alan Levenson
We had a great run. We had to be on our game to be able to win. We weren't quite there.
Tony Hopper
The ferry sounded its warning signals quite a few times to alert to people that the ferry was in danger.
Deborah Marshall
[The rise in oil prices] wouldn't be quite as calamitous in Japan as it would in the U.S., where the people are more energy-dependent, ... Even though Japan may be efficient in its use of oil, like everyone else it still crimps your monthly budget. They're paying more for gasoline, so they're not immune to that.
David Cohen
We've been striving to make this for quite a while.
Chris Chambers
Overall, the dollar is flat but it has been quite soft in the New York time zone.
Michael Jansen
I think it's quite a puzzle.
Bob Allsbrook
Fans certainly don't have to be on guard quite as much as they did in the past. Some fans are more observant that others, but this takes care of all those concerned in the stadium.
Gary Overton
For some reason, I grew up generally believing that Japan and Korea were quite friendly. I do know that there is some bad history and the extremists on both sides are unreasonable.
Joichi Ito
A child's fear is a world whose dark corners are quite unknown to grownup people; it has its sky and its abysses, a sky without stars, abysses into which no light can ever penetrate.
Julian Green
I still find trusting people quite hard. I've got a couple of mates that I do let in, but that's it. It's something I've got to sort out-I cut people off.
Robbie Williams
I didn't have to concentrate… and after a number of minutes it felt very natural. Because of the character of the tone they've chosen, it was quite intuitive to determine my position. The left and right was indicated by the stereo effect and the forward and back had a different characteristic. It was very easy to learn quickly.
Fred Kawabata
There are a number of good people right here who work hard and have great benefits and quite honestly don't want to move to South Dakota. And we want to keep them here.
Sen Dean Skelos
That is a big blow, it was one of their flagship businesses that was quite profitable.
Robert Willens
We were billed at the end of the last fiscal year, and I've toyed with this for quite some time. I've just need to get direction from the board to see if you all see something I don't.
Richard Tillis
The average ticket value of these items is quite high, and the market trends are distinctly upward.
Harvey Seegers
It looked quite disturbing and fairly shocking. But I strongly believe that when we come out the other side, we are going to be pleased with our improved park.
Craig Montgomery
I don't think it has quite sunk in yet, but it is definitely a dream come true. I am looking forward to getting on the ice and trying to help the Devils win games.
Andy Greene
We held discussions again. We are quite hopeful that some settlement will come.
Veerappa Moily
We're not planning to air the New Orleans episode. Quite frankly, we just think it may look opportunistic.
Terry Connelly
They are all implied from the founding, and are all quite venerable ways of going about the interpretive process.
John Harrison
A dip to a one-month low could be quite an attractive level for exporters to buy the won.
Fumihiko Kawano
That was quite a war — both nights.
Dave Boitz
What Christ gives us is quite explicit if his own words are interpreted according to their Aramaic meaning. The expression 'This is my Body' means this is myself.
Karl Rahner
The move will definitely be good for the franchise and for Midland. I'm not quite sure what the future holds for baseball in Battle Creek.
Martie Cordaro
I was quite pleased with how we did. We did better than I expected in relation to Harvard.
John Beski
This is the historical record. These are the eyewitnesses to these events, so no one can ever say this didn't happen or it wasn't like that. This tells us it happened in a very immediate and quite graphic way.
Andrew Carroll
We understand this application is inherently beneficial. Quite bluntly, if you weren't requesting variances, this hearing would last maybe an hour.
Dennis Collins
He put on quite a show for them.
Bob Eldridge
Serving as chair of the department can be exhausting, and for him to serve for 13 years was quite a feat.
Gerald Webster
Ralph Buckland was quite an individual -- he was a lawyer, Civil War General, politician, businessman, and more. He accomplished quite a bit in his lifetime; all while maintaining a reputation of honor and dignity. I'm looking forward to bringing his life to the attention of our museum visitors.
Frank Eachus
My main practice is civil law where I do serious injury cases and have spent most of the time doing that. But I'm quite familiar with criminal law, too.
Peter Ritchie
Quite a lot of what we do before we adopt a building ordinance is to consider the way the building looks. City staff and the Planning and Zoning Board also pay attention.
Jim Jeffers
It's obviously primarily for sci-fi fans, but it's a nice sort of quirky movie that appeals to all sorts of people, ... I think it's quite good.
David Prowse
It's something that has been planned — that is quite obvious. But it's far too early to say anything [about] who it is who was behind it.
Sheila Dikshit
If we can sort them out, I'm quite certain that the others will seem rather minor.
Carl Bildt
Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word.
Charles de Gaulle
Other than South Florida, it's been warmer than normal across most of the country. It's quite impressive.
Mike Halpert
That he was in the same area (as the athletes) created quite some concern for us.
Arne Ljungqvist
What we're really doing is running a modern airline with classic airplanes. Our maintenance efforts have to go well above and beyond what an airline with new airplanes has to do. It's quite a challenge.
Tracy Perkins
When a unique condo design comes on the market, it does sell really quickly. It's quite true that they're getting better. We're seeing better detail and they're more appealing.
Todd Black
Actually, it's quite a bit below normal right now, at least at the airport.
Gary Votaw
It was an April day and I went out into the garden and it had been raining during the night. I had the feeling that I saw the earth and the beauty of nature as it had been when it was created, at the first day of creation. It was a beautiful experience! I was reborn, seeing nature in quite a new light.
Albert Hofmann
He (Jim) is quite talented.
William Clayton
It's a great accomplishment for Abby. But she's always been more concerned with who we're playing next, and she's quite the competitor.
Frank Pagliuca
The Java services are not quite mature enough for full EAI, ... This technology is going to be essential, and companies will want it in-house.
Shawn Willett
There was a lot of action out there and it was quite hard to pass. At the end people started to make mistakes and have problems with the tyre, and I did my best lap on the second last lap. I was lucky the two guys came down in front of me but I was certainly homing in on them.
Troy Bayliss
It has become quite obvious in recent years that our nomenclature in astronomy is not keeping pace with our discoveries.
Bill Cooke
It's full of depressing details about the children's lives, ... and, I'm sorry to say, it's the longest in the series. So in terms of total misery, it's quite a lot to deal with well, both in terms of the number of pages and the amount of misery per page.
Daniel Handler
I'm looking at Texas' athletes. Texas has a great football team. They'll do quite well, I believe.
Nick Aliotti
There is really no place quite like this.
David Olive
It's very, very difficult. It is complex and it requires quite a bit of determination and funds.
Anton Rychener
The call-up was well-deserved. He's been our thoroughbred for quite some time, and I was going to ride him hard until he got called up, and that was exactly what we did.
Kevin Dineen
It's great to go on your own and discover new things just for yourself, to meet new people and all that. If you're all on your own, then there is nobody there to guide you and you have to make all the decisions for yourself. It's quite liberating in a way.
Dido Armstrong
I thought I had a real chance at a low score after eagle-birdie, but I never did quite get it close enough after that.
Gil Morgan
Humanity can be quite cold to those whose eyes see the world differently.
Eric A. Burns
I would be very happy to see 3.5 billion humans wiped out from the face of the earth within the next 150 or 200 years and I am quite prepared to go myself with this majority ... Let us all look forward to the day when the catastrophe strikes us down!
John Aspinall
As a professional football player, I have quite a bit of time in the off-season to pursue other goals, ... I would drive by this little airport every day on the way to work and see these planes coming in and landing. I looked at it and said to myself, 'Hey, I think I can do that.'
Kyle Brady
Canby is going to be tough. They're tougher than Newberg but not quite as tough as Tualatin.
Amy Wroblewski
There are times when the economy is quite vulnerable, so a gentle push (from oil) can tip the economy into actual recession.
Anirvan Banerji
You name a county on either side of the Blue Ridge, and there was quite a bit of wind damage to the trees.
David Lawrence
Actors ought to be larger than life. You come across quite enough ordinary, nondescript people in daily life and I don't see why you should be subjected to them on the stage too.
Ninon de Lenclos
On the numbers side of things, we're probably at the best in the numbers that we've had for quite some time.
Inspector Linton Robinson
We get quite a bit out of there now.
Lurlis Simmons
It's been a fabulous week. Everyone wasn't quite sure about the course when they came here. It's a very playable course. It turned out to be a great test of golf.
Tom Jenkins
It's really quite an honor for me to still be able to do this, 10 years later. If my autograph can make someone smile or make their day, I'll do it until the day I die.
Dominique Moceanu
The last three weeks have been quite disappointing and I had been putting a lot of pressure on myself and it was more about just going out there and having fun.
A.j. Allmendinger
We conducted all our studies quite a while ago and they measured the noise and found that the traffic at Highway 111 and Washington was more than that coming from the concert.
Raymond Moore
It's not for everyone. It's quite probably for the minority, but the minority are people, too. Noise is as much a valid art form as anything else, much more so than what you'd find on Hollywood Boulevard on this night.
Brendan Grubb
I didn't expect to be up here. I'm quite humbled by this and the main reason I'm humbled is that there were four others who could easily be up here; that humbles me. We have so many good writers in this country.
David Bergen
When I was in Iraq, quite frankly I became disheartened with our government. I think our government wasn't doing enough to support our troops.
Patrick Murphy
Mike is quite an accomplished young man.
Jim Fletcher
Dictionaries are like watches; the worst is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quite true.
Samuel Johnson
This is really just in addition to the service that we already offer online. People want to shop online but may not have a computer and find that the cost of getting one can be quite prohibitive. Therefore we are trying to provide access to the service over things like the Pocket PC and digital TV.
Craig Russell
My general experience is the private label manufacturer knows they're doing something not quite right; the retailer doesn't necessarily know.
Bob Mcdonald
We couldn't find anybody, only debris. Apparently, the impact of the crash was quite hard.
Aivar Muriks
They hear one side of the story and they almost always indict. The next jury will hear the entire story ... We're surprised that anybody got indicted, quite frankly.
Bill Cotter
I run into quite a few chefs at the restaurant suppliers that are from New Orleans. But they're working behind the scenes. They don't have their own places. They're cooking for somebody else.
Brian Wright
That surprised me, ... I thought they both would have reacted better and played better. There were some opportunities there, but we just couldn't quite get it right.
Bob Stoops
His honesty and sanity were questioned. On his deathbed, he was a bitter person. Unfortunately, he didn't live quite long enough to see this rediscovery.
John Arvin
I was quite humbled by some of the winners and nominees.
Denise Welch
I'm quite honored that they would have recommended him, ... Of course, I'd rather have my son back, but that not being the case one couldn't be more proud than I am.
William Meehan
I always read everything on the desks of people I went to see in Moscow, London, Paris I found it quite useful.
W. Averell Harriman
I was quite surprised at the harshness of the probation department's recommendation. Judge Davila going over and above that shocks me even more.
Charles Kramer
Quite frankly, we want the kids to be in unbelievable shape. My assistant pretty much grinds them right into the ground.
Dave Pugliese
Our businesses are quite diverse, and there's no single item that would make or break us. This was a broad-based gain, with every major business contributing.
David Viniar
We told them quite openly everything -- also to HP. Maybe we were naive.
Boris Babaian
The next time Bolivia blows up I think they'll be used quite a bit.
Adam Isacson
People really liked it and couldn't get to see it because the tickets sold out. There was quite a bit of buzz about it.
David Kneuss
Hays, Kansas is quite well known for the number of Germans from Russia that reside here.
Leona Pfeifer
There's quite a balance here that people are trying to figure out.
David Chamberlain
The rain might change the course quite a bit. The greens and fairways won't be as fast as they were the last two years.
Joe Riekena
Right now, we're not quite done on defense. We still have a couple guys we're waiting on.
Shannon Currier
One the main reasons we have performed quite well is because we've chosen the right areas to be involved in. To a degree, it's buying back the family silver.
Lloyd Morrison
It's going to be quite a complicated scene, each one of the victims represents a mini crime scene, if you will, and then you have the overall apartment.
Paul Dolbey
I've had a bull's-eye on me for quite some time, ... That's because I've done my job. I've raised issues no one else has had the guts to raise.
Mike Gibson
I've never seen an NHL player bet on an NHL game and, quite frankly, if it ever happened I'd be very disappointed.
Chris Therien
To be quite honest, just being here the last three years, to host hasn't ever been a beneficial thing.
Tiffany Miller
I'm quite frankly a little tired after this week.
Brian Belski
I'm quite optimistic, but I feel we do need more female producers, more female cinematographers and such, just to make a better working environment among predominantly male crews.
Mary Harron
We've got quite a diversity on our team this year. On one side-the boys-we have loads of talent and experience with all the guys back from last year. But the girls team is the most inexperienced group I've ever had.
John Watson
In that sense, the unions are losing quite a bit of their power.
Richard Gritta
After all that, I came back and did speed work - it was quite different to what I had been doing.
Thomas Neill
Whereas the gentleman always seeks to deserve his position, the aristocrat, disdainful and insouciant, is quite happy just to exploit it.
Simon Raven
We have quite a few that need the special care, but just never this large amount.
Jessica Fox
He is the consummate point guard -- his demeanor, his vision, his sense of the game, his decision-making. It's uncanny. I would love to say that I taught him all of that, but I can't quite claim all that.
Jim Phillips
I still can't believe it, looking back. It's been quite a ride. I have a lot of people to thank for helping me chase this crazy idea.
Joey Cheek
It really has quite an important effect on people.
Josephine Hart
Jocelyn is a class act and did a lot for our organization, ... We're happy to be able to get a deal done and we're happy that he's going to a good situation in Pittsburgh. He'll do quite well for them, we wish him all the best. It was strictly a business decision.
Dale Tallon
He dispels the myth that good guys can't win. He brings out loyalty in people. All of his assistants have been there for quite awhile and want to stay loyal to him and the program. He's a person you would want to coach your son, a great motivator to young people.
Pat Alexander
Sometimes we have five people playing, sometimes 20. It can get quite rowdy.
Michael Coll
Not too good. I've had this before, and it's persistent for quite a while. Now it's just kind of wait and see.
Doug Brien
I wasn't overjoyed, but I did feel a sense of accomplishment because I beat my intended quota by quite a large margin. I went there to win.
Takeru Kobayashi
We talked to her a couple of times over the past few months, but she wasn't quite in a position to put together an actual show. I'm happy to be able to give her a break.
Ron Garrett
Common sense told us it was going to happen. Quite often we feel we cannot act without hard science. Now we've got some science.
Jim Stevenson
Immigrants, quite frankly, are falling into the highest-risk jobs. And they find themselves without the training and safety precautions necessary.
Ali Noorani
Over the long term, they've been quite strong. A lot of these funds have been around for a while and have strong management teams.
Catherine Hickey
At that point in time (last year), the mayor had no information about these allegations. We were not aware at the time of information that subsequently has come to light. (D'Angelo) would have been looked at for things like the performance of his department, which was quite good.
George Twigg
Given the different national conditions of China and Canada and given our different history and cultural traditions, it is quite normal for our two countries to have different views about human rights.
Falun Gong
He didn't shoot the ball well last year but he certainly had to force the issue quite often. He ... would benefit from not being the only option in the backcourt.
Jonathan Watters
A versatile player, Amy can play any position. She is quite athletic and good on the ball. She plays basketball, as well, so she is a strong all-around athlete. She is going to help us in many different ways.
Pete Kowall
Somebody had found a piece of wood of the right age to make a pretty convincing portrait of Shakespeare. It fooled historians for quite a long time.
Tarnya Cooper
I don't know that I would call it a victory quite yet, ... but it is at least a step in the right direction. People deserve to know what is happening here.
Gail Davidson
We can see the deadlock in the future quite clearly.
Parnthep Pourpongpan
Our political differences, now matter how sharply they are debated, are really quite narrow in comparison to the remarkably durable national consensus on our founding convictions.
John Mccain
I'm quite sure they were losing money and they entered into this scheme in a desperate attempt to recoup their losses.
Scott Berman
I don't think it has quite sunk in yet, but this is definitely a dream come true.
Andy Greene
I'm still learning them! There's quite a bit.
