What we call a democratic society might be defined for certain purposes as one in which the majority is always prepared to put down a revolutionary minority.

For me science is already fantastical enough. Unlocking the secrets of nature with fundamental physics or cosmology or astrobiology leads you into a wonderland compared with which beliefs in things like alien abductions pale into insignificance.

Winning is the science of being totally prepared.

With acknowledgement of residues we can be more easily prepared to grant the unit of science the overlapping of disciplines and the total coherence of all facts.

That is sad until one recalls how many bad books the world may yet be spared because of the busyness of writers.

I find it incredibly romantic that people should fight for a cause they believe in and be prepared to die for it.

I think I've only done one horror movie Psycho III. That was a walk in the park compared to a romantic comedy.

In the beginning New York and I had kind of a love-hate relationship. It seemed so abrasive compared to Europe. But the transformation here in recent years is really something. I don't think I would have seen as much change if I'd lived in any other city in the world.

If one could be friendly with women what a pleasure - the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?

Given the daunting challenges that we face it's important that president elect Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one.

We would like to ease the life of the Palestinians. I prepared a new plan that we call a positive agenda.

Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically by definition be disqualified from ever doing so.

Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords - philosophy art poetry love scandal and the weather.

We remain at peace with all nations and no efforts on my part consistent with the preservation of our rights and the honor of the country shall be spared to maintain a position so consonant to our institutions.

To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.

Compared to America or Europe God isn't a big part of our lives here. I don't know anyone here who goes to church when he's had a rough divorce or is going through depression. We go out into nature instead.

Sit down before fact as a little child be prepared to give up every conceived notion follow humbly wherever and whatever abysses nature leads or you will learn nothing.

Mother Nature may be forgiving this year or next year but eventually she's going to come around and whack you. You've got to be prepared.

I'm prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs if that means I'm playing music that I believe in.

The romantic embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer.

Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left.

The sexual embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer.

I find playwriting to be incredibly difficult compared to screenwriting. Part of it is that I grew up watching movies and not watching plays.

The movies were custard compared to politics.
