Do you have any idea how mad you sound?’‘Indeed I do. I have in moments of doubt considered the question of my sanity.’ (…)‘And?’‘Then I consider what a piece of work is man. How defective...

There is no question of the benefits that opening a market of a billion people will bring to American businesses. But as I said last year, this will test China and the world trade system.

Fashion will last forever. It will exist always. It will exist in its own way in each era.

In the last quarter of the eighteenth century bourgeois Europe needed to emancipate itself from that combination of feudalism and commercial capitalism which we know as mercantilism.

I’m a Catholic by background. I was raised in Goa, a part of India that was visited by Portuguese missionaries a few hundred years ago, which explains my last name.

The right to bear arms is because it’s the last form of defense against tyranny.

I wouldn’t be surprised if tomorrow was the Final Dawn, the last sunrise before the Earth and Sun are reshaped into computing elements.

Every time I do an album, I say, ‘That’s the last one.’

I learned from my uncle that jazz, like symphony music, was built to last.

I love Washington, D.C.; I love this country, but I think over the last hundred years we’ve built up would I call an arrogant empire: people who think the rest of us are too stupid...

I don’t know if a penny’s dropped somewhere, but you’ve had ‘Lark Rise to Candleford,’ you’ve had ‘Cranford,’ you’ve had ‘Last Tango in Halifax,’ you’ve had ‘Call the Midwife’… I think the largest portion of...

Hardly any generation wants to take the whole of the last generation, it just wants to take its best bits.

Our first scene is sort of a reunion between the X-Men characters, which establishes everyone’s relationship to one another, sort of like a recap for all those who have forgotten since the last movie.

Last guys don’t finish nice.

When I was growing up, you would put on a KISS record or a UFO or Aerosmith record and listen to it from the first song through the last song. It’s been so long since...

At the edge you will always remember me, at the edge you will last be remembered, where sanity and insanity come together, for the time, then separates. Like leaves on October trees, that color the...

Inconvenience in progress, work is regretted.

The last of our enemies is laid low.

Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s ‘Courant’, it no longer requires a dystopic imagination to wonder who will have the dubious distinction of publishing America’s last genuine newspaper. Few believe that newspapers in their...

As the great grandchildren of the industrial revolution, we have learned, at last, that the heedless pursuit of more is unsustainable and, ultimately, unfulfilling. Our planet, our security, our sense of equanimity and our very...

Marriages that last are with people who do not live in Los Angeles.

Raising kids these days is hard. I’m the second to last child in my family. I think it’s tough; I have two kids, I see them and I feel like I see things in them;...

As I say, we Norwegians love our woolens, and you can buy some beautiful knitwear in Oslo. They might cost you a bit – but they will last.

I have no choice but to fight them every step of the way. I can’t tell you how many other stupid ideas have been proposed over the last two years.

I just keep fighting and try to be the last one standing.

I prefer to be the first to be wrong than to be the last to be right

All business sagacity reduces itself in the last analysis to judicious use of sabotage.

The principle of giving should become a mandate for action for the Christians of the last days

The last six months of the Bush administration lost four million jobs and the first six months of the Obama administration lost another four million before any initiatives of the president could take action.

Definitely when you get handed roles like Joel in ‘The Last of Us,’ that’s something that will change your life, and I learned so much from that role.

When I am on stage, I give everything. Maybe because of that, I won’t last long, but I don’t care.

Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.

We ran three cars last year. Unfortunately, as time went on, we did have to let a few people go, which we regretted, but just because of the situation.

Common folk didn’t have last names in the 8th and 9th centuries.

As actors, we’re all encouraged to feel that each job is the last job. They plant some little electrode in your head at an early stage and you think, ‘Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.’

I began to think, The endowment has had a bad reputation in the last few years, and that’s unfair.

I always had really long swimmer’s arms. The last to totally go is always my thighs and butt, but my old body is there somewhere.

It just didn’t seem to fit the story and lineage, I guess. So I just sort of surrounded ‘Blood Bank’ with three other songs that were very different from one other, and they all kind...

At last, you will not be remembered for roaming the earth as a non-entity, but by every word, and every miracle, and every love, and every seed that ever came from the innermost part of...

I’m reading a book about Romaine Brooks, a wonderful painter from early in the last century.

I’m going to build that house with my own hands, from the foundation to the roof. I’m going to do it for us, and I’m going to do it right, so it lasts forever. Can’t...

To bathe a cat takes brute force, perseverance, courage of conviction – and a cat. The last ingredient is usually hardest to come by.

I started running 3 miles every morning after throat surgery to remove a cyst last year. The gym used to be my adversary. But that has all changed. Now, I look forward to it every...

When I was doing Bean more than I’ve done him in the last few years, I did strange things – like appearing on chat shows in character as Mr. Bean.

Actually I have a tradition that I always steal my last costume on the last day of filming.

What clever man has ever needed to commit a crime? Crime is the last resort of political half-wits.

The last months, weeks and days have seen accelerating discussions, involving the DUP for the first time, about a comprehensive agreement which would see all outstanding matters dealt with and the Good Friday Agreement implemented...

One of the last episodes was all about a flood. We were working in the rain till all hours, and it was muddy and it was cold and it was damp, and it was hours...

I’m a professional geologist, an explorationist for oil. That’s what I’ve done in my career, one that’s culminated in – at least to this point – playing a part in finding the largest field in...

People go to restaurants for so many different reasons. To court a girl, to make some deal. Maybe to talk to some lawyer about how to get an alimony settlement better than they got last...
