The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble the most beautiful marble you can imagine.

So we're considering doing a new Christmas album because there's been Christmas episodes since then and maybe finally do the version of 'The Most Offensive Song Ever' with lyrics intact.

I'm the first to admit this whole salary thing is getting out of control. In the final analysis it's still about the work.

To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it to kill it to rid it of its soul to give it its final blow the coup de grace for the painter as well as for the picture.

But in its final creation it was not the part of the Father's power to fail as though exhausted. It was not the part of His wisdom to waver in a needful matter through poverty of counsel.

The final wisdom of life requires not the annulment of incongruity but the achievement of serenity within and above it.

In April 1991 after the Gulf war Iraq was given 15 days to provide a full and final declaration of all its WMD.

We've finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism and they don't want to fight it. They would except that it would put them on the same side as the United States.

As you may recall Truman was extremely unpopular when he finally left Washington in 1953 thanks largely to the Korean War. Today however he is thought to have been a solidly good president a 'Near Great' even in the terminology of those surveys of historians they do every now and then.

I couldn't be happier that President Bush has stood up for having served in the National Guard because I can finally put an end to all those who questioned my motives for enlisting in the Army Reserve at the height of the Vietnam War.

I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18 so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first.

Every gun that is made every warship launched every rocket fired signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed those who are cold and are not clothed.

The truth is that the religious and the scientific processes though involving different methods are identical in their final aim. Both aim at reaching the most real.

In the last few years the very idea of telling the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth is dredged up only as a final resort when the alternative options of deception threat and bribery have all been exhausted.

I think the industry finally gets it. They've lost the connection with the American public and they've got to rebuild the trust with the American public.

You just have to trust your instincts and hope that if someone doesn't like your idea you can prove them wrong in the final process. In the end you can please some of the people some of the time but that's about all you can do.

I think I'm finally growing up - and about time.

Final Destination was the closest thing I've done to a teen movie but it certainly had an edge to it.

I remember the first time I saw the 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' video. I will never forget that day. I just wanted to see Kurt Cobain's face. I had a feeling he was very cute. But I couldn't see his face. When I finally did see him he was even cuter than I imagined!

By 2007 we were finally living in a culture where people get what networks are and what technology can do to connect people.

We've been co-evolving with our technology for a hundred thousand years. Human beings and the technology we make were always inseparable. We're finally coming into this moment where it's coming inside our body for the first time in history.
