People own the 'Moonlight' Sonata. Their children were conceived to it, and it's difficult to find anybody in Western society who doesn't have a personal relationship to that.

Danial Shapiro

When I think of Colonel Crawford it reminds me a lot of the district I grew up in, a rural district that has had success, and what my brother has been able to establish in four years at Western Reserve.

Phil Kendall

Most people are explicitly racists. In parts of the world - so called educated, so-called western society - we've learned that it is not polite to be racist, and so often we don't express racist views, but... Racism is one of the big issues in the world today. Racism is the big social problem in the United States.

Brad Wall

The resilience of Western economies to recent oil shocks has been remarkable.

Andrew Oswald

Nobody can really speak about prehistory without mentioning Cyprus. It was a filter. It took technology from the Middle East and redistributed it to the western world.

Maria Rosaria Belgiorno

Jim Williams

Western Europe had its end of the war occurring on the eighth of May 1945.

Andy Osborne

It was a moment in history that's pivotal in western history. If things hadn't turned out the way they did at that particular point, the world that we live in now would be very different ... It's the transformation of a republic into an empire. I think America is dealing with that issue just now.

Bruno Heller

John Pelphrey

Domestic Western politics are much more transparent than before.

Thomas Hegghammer

The announcement of American Airlines to start Dallas, Fort Worth, is strategically important for Jamaica and is a very important opportunity for our Midwest market, and western U.S., as well as western Canada.

David Shields

When the U.S. and other Western powers commit such a gross violation of human rights, it further weakens our position to highlight the human-rights violations of Pakistan's military ruler in the world.

Afrasiab Khattak

I can't understand how we can play so well one game (a 74-70 victory over defending conference champion Arizona Western on Wednesday night) and so poorly the next. That's the disappointing thing. We had a chance to get on a run here, and we turn in a performance like this.

Chuck Schnoor

The next war... may well bury Western civilization forever.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

We were playing most of our games against teams east of the Mississippi River. We needed to go our own way and play Western teams. We were the new kid on the block as far as the service academies were concerned. We needed to gain our own identity.

Germany had a balancing function not only in European politics but in the European Union, between Britain and France, between Western Europe and Eastern Europe, and between Europe and the United States.

Katinka Barysch

We are looking at fixed roaming prices for certain Western European destinations.

From that they change into their appearance wear. And that is their choice. It can be anything from an interview suit to a more fashionable type outfit, western wear or a nice dress they'd wear to church.

Cheryl Fogarty

I don't think we were necessarily tested for our style against Western Michigan because of all those three-step passes. Syracuse will be a better test because I believe we're a tough defense and they're a tough offense and they're going to come right at us.

Brennan Schmidt

Water is basic to life and with this country being just a couple hours off of out border and being the poorest in the western hemisphere, it's really exciting to be able to go down there and just with a tiny amount of money be able to improve the lives of so many people.

Doug Schmitt

When we say that Islam and our values, western democracy, are incompatible that is not to say that Muslims are bad.

We're trying to get out in front of this because we think this is going to be one of the most critical problems facing water managers in the Western United States in the next couple of decades.

Thomas Donnelly

I want to improve tea as a beverage, as an international beverage. Tea is very traditional drink in China and in a lot of countries in Europe and the Western world as well. But yet no one has upgraded the Chinese tea to a really international standard.

Thomas Lee

Today Yeltsin is alone. People are pushed to the extreme. Western investors have become fierce and are angry with him.

Alexander Lebed

What we wanted to create for the film was a sensual feeling using the traditional Japanese kimono as our key starting point. We took the creation of the kimono and changed it to make it something that the modern, Western audience would relate to.

Colleen Atwood

We have so many cyber-dissidents in jail that we are trying to get out of there, and knowing that some of them are in jail with the help of Western companies is really frustrating. It's one thing to want to make money, to make profits. It's quite another one to become a weapon in the hands of the Chinese authorities.

Lucie Morillon

The very economy of the Western Cape is at stake if they do not give us that capacity.

Mark Wiley

Western wear is at its peak. I mix the traditional type of Western wear with what I call 'shabby chic cowgirl', and it's very popular.

Bobbi Faria

Western has been good for me. It feels good to have been a part of all this.

John Minton

The critical thing is that no two situations are alike. Depending on where you are in Africa, the Middle East or Asia, laws and medical care are very different. We strive to make sure that travelers have the same information we as diplomats have. Americans and Western interests are targets, and Americans should be aware of that.

Angela Aggeler

Native Americans have a lot more cardiovascular disease than the population in general, but what we don't know is how much of their increased risk is due to their genetic background and how that background is modified by Western lifestyles and environmental factors.

Kristin Newby

I've actually seen kids who have bad attitudes or temper problems come into fencing and I've seen them leave with much more self-control and self-respect. I've seen them go from really lousy kids to pretty nice people, people I could respect. I think fencing can have an uplifting effect on the soul. It's very much a Western martial art.

Dion Shively

They all thought when we joined the league (from the Western District Junior Football League) that we were under done but we proved them wrong today. We've used this as our biggest challenge this season.

Ray Anderson

I feel the valuation applied to that business (Western Union) has been severely depressed by being part of the whole First Data. I think the remaining businesses will be a significantly less attractive investment.

Craig Maurer

I feel like I can learn a lot at Western. And I'm ready to increase that learning curve.

Jennifer Childress

It would be nice if Western had a retired staff group with social activities to keep retirees in touch with the campus.

Leo Drozdoff

I never was a person who wanted a handout. I was a cafeteria worker. I'm not too proud to ask the Best Western manager to give me a job. I have cleaned homes.

Shirley Jackson

I see in many minor and senior Western officials, copies of Hitler. Many of the western institutions are as if they are managed by the Gestapo and the S.S..

Hafez Barghouti

Before a prominent Western presence in China, surly waiters and surly salesclerks were pretty much what you'd expect. Nowadays, the five-star hotels in China are every bit as good as five-star hotels in Hong Kong and Tokyo — which means much better than the U.S.

George Koo

Our growth is coming from the North Sea, and in Western Canada and the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa. We don't have that next major growth piece identified in Yemen at this point in time.

Kevin Finn

We have the home field, and we feel we can beat anybody in the Eastern or Western conferences. By next week we should have everybody back and [be] clicking on all cylinders.

Shalrie Joseph

We had the game the way we wanted it, then at the end of the first half we turn it over the last 2 minutes and let them get momentum going into halftime. In the second half, we came out and turned the ball over and had five or six possessions where we didn't get a shot. That got (Western Kentucky) out and got them a lead.

Terry Carroll

When you look at the preseason polls, I don't know if I saw anybody other than UTEP (predicted to win the western division). The program will likely stay at a high level.

Russ Anderson

They're a lot better than what we play on the Western Slope. They came out aggressive, and we're not used to teams that aggressive. We expected them to be hard, but not like right at the beginning, as fast as they were.

Markie Workman

Kids in Western cultures still hit that growth spurt in their teens. It happens just before they're ready to strike out on their own — if you're lucky.

Michael Gurven

The art music of the West has developed through out its history by means of individual geniuses, and out of the soil supporting them; non-Western musicians were born, and grew like the grasses of the field.

Toru Takemitsu

Gus (her husband) and I had done some country dancing, and I knew there weren't any Western stores nearby.

Lynn Seaberg

We hope the international community takes these comments about wiping Israel off the map very seriously and wakes up to the nature of this extremist regime. Iran's nuclear program and its support of international terrorism are not only a danger for Israel but for the entire Western civilization.

Raanan Gissin

The Western blot test, which concentrates the brain sample, can detect mad cow disease in an animal at an earlier stage of infection. It is used in virtually all European countries and Japan.

Our focus for these games has been to play four quarters of intense, Western defense. Our biggest thing was just to help on the ball, help in on the post, and focus on limiting them inside.

Courtney Clapp

We really emphasize how big these Western Division games are. We are the Western Division champs and we want to come out here and defend our title. So we wanted to come out here and play this game strong and we did.

Corey Parker

People were reacting not only to the Danish newspaper drawings - there is something inside the people. They tried to express their anger against something else - Western double standards in dealing with democracy, the economic situation - and they took it out on the embassies in Damascus.

Marwan Kabalan

I've been to Africa three times. All right? You can't bring Western reasoning into the culture. The same way you can't bring it into fundamental Islam.

Bill O'reilly

Government calls on all South Africans, especially in the Western Cape, to co-operate with the energy authorities in implementing immediate measures aimed at preventing load shedding.

Joel Netshitenzhe

The difference between Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine is we tend to treat the condition. Chinese (medicine) treats the whole animal.

If a band of strong wind and rain is coming into the Western Isles of Scotland, with its population of 25,000 or 30,000, then that is significant for them. But if the major urban areas are not affected then it is a good idea not to focus on that first if the majority of the country is fine and settled.

Wayne Elliott

I'm not optimistic. Belarus is a European problem, but there is no awareness of it in western Europe and the west Europeans are not interested in a common position on Russia.

Janusz Reiter

We may have created the biggest monster that the Western Hockey League has ever experienced. Ken Hodge now is going to be tuned loose to do what he really, really loves doing.

Jack Donovan

I don't know what point it was, but we decided not to defend any more. At some point we have to decide if we want to come together and do something, instead of being the laughing stock of Western Conference.

Damien Wilkins

We know today if you go to western and central Africa that humans and chimps live in similar and neighboring environments. This is the first evidence in the fossil record that they coexisted in the same place in the past.

Nina Jablonski

Yes, we do have trees that we're cutting down on the western end of the project. That is in preparation for the actual project to begin in the spring.

Cindy Brown

I would like to finish my senior season with 82 wins, which means that we make it to the finals and I win all of my singles matches. I know that we can get there, and I bet this time we will give Western Michigan a run for their money when we do.

Heidi Romer

[These hotspots (other than the United States and Japan) also tend to be countries where laws and law enforcement lag behind what is found in Western-style democracies.] Countries around the world are drafting stronger laws, ... But hackers will find the weakest link, the country with no laws.

Christopher Painter

If I write a crappy comic book, it doesn't cost the budget of an emergent Third World nation. When you've got these kinds of sums involved in creating another two hours of entertainment for Western teenagers, I feel it crosses the line from being merely distasteful to being wrong.

Alan Moore

With the help of Courtney and local volunteers across western NSW we are hoping to send a strong message to people diagnosed with cancer every year in our region, ... We believe that together we can defeat cancer.

M. Powell

An analysis of bird migration routes has shown that in autumn 2005...the H5N1 virus may be spread from Western Siberia to the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.
