"There is so much good music in the U.S. and there is just a small section that gets recognised at the Grammys."

-- Patrick Carney

“When I was in Dutch and Italian football, a lot of people looked at Manchester United, and when they were asked who was the best player, a lot of them said Paul Scholes. Much of what he did looked simple, but actually it was quite hard. Invariably he controlled the ball instantly and passed it straight on, keeping the game moving. He made inch-perfect passes across the pitch; he saw the gaps and could play the ball through them. So it didn't surprise me that so many top-class international footballers recognized his quality.”
“Life just doesn't hand you things. You have to get out there and make things happen. that's the exciting part.”
“Florence Farr once said to me, If we could say to ourselves, with sincerity, 'this passing moment is as good as any I shall ever know,' we could die upon the instant and be united with God.”
“Honest discussions - even and perhaps especially on topics about which we disagree - can help us resist hypocrisy and arrogance. They can also help us live up to the basic ideals, such as liberty and justice for all, on which our country was founded.”
“When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.”
“No terror state poses a greater or more immediate threat to the security of our people and the stability of the world than the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.”
“Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.”
“The man who first gave history a recognized place in science was an ancient historian.”
