Christopher Columbus was looking for a passage to India, but he landed in America. He landed in the wrong place, and when he got back, he wasn't sure where he'd been. But most important of all, he did it on someone else's money. ~ Ronald Reagan
Christopher Columbus quotes by Ronald Reagan
If and when all the laws governing physical phenomena are finally discovered, and all the empirical constants occurring in these laws are finally expressed through the four independent basic constants, we will be able to say that physical science has reached its end, that no excitement is left in further explorations, and that all that remains to a physicist is either tedious work on minor details or the self-educational study and adoration of the magnificence of the completed system. At that stage physical science will enter from the epoch of Columbus and Magellan into the epoch of the National Geographic Magazine! ~ George Gamow
Christopher Columbus quotes by George Gamow
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime. According to some ancient manuscripts 9 is not a prime number, but beyond the distant horizon of the oceans, in the New World that I am going to discover, there are surely lots of them. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
You start on Monday with the idea implanted in your bosom that you are going to enjoy yourself. You wave an airy adieu to the boys on shore, light your biggest pipe, and swagger about the deck as if you were Captain Cook, Sir Francis Drake, and Christopher Columbus all rolled into one. On Tuesday, you wish you hadn't come. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, you wish you were dead. On Saturday, you are able to swallow a little beef tea, and to sit up on deck, and answer with a wan, sweet smile when kind-hearted people ask you how you feel now. On Sunday, you begin to walk about again, and take solid food. And on Monday morning, as, with your bag and umbrella in your hand, you stand by the gunwale, waiting to step ashore, you begin to thoroughly like it. ~ Jerome K. Jerome
Christopher Columbus quotes by Jerome K. Jerome
The Indians on board said that thence to Cuba was a voyage in their canoes of a day and a half; these being small dug-outs without a sail. Such are their canoes. I departed thence for Cuba, for by the signs the Indians made of its greatness, and of its gold and pearls, I thought that it must be Cipango. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
I went to sea from the most tender age and have continued in a sea life to this day. Whoever gives himself up to this art wants to know the secrets of Nature here below. It is more than forty years that I have been thus engaged. Wherever any one has sailed, there I have sailed. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
After having dispatched a meal, I went ashore, and found no habitation save a single house, and that without an occupant; we had no doubt that the people had fled in terror at our approach, as the house was completely furnished. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
We see it [the as-yet unseen, probable new planet, Neptune] as Columbus saw America from the coast of Spain. Its movements have been felt, trembling along the far-reaching line of our analysis with a certainty hardly inferior to that of ocular demonstration. ~ William Herschel
Christopher Columbus quotes by William Herschel
I believe that there are many herbs and many trees that are worth much in Europe for dyes and for medicines; but I do not know, and this causes me great sorrow. Arriving at this cape, I found the smell of the trees and flowers so delicious that it seemed the pleasantest thing in the world. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Shaquille and I kind of joke we were the Christopher Columbus of social media. We're kind of out on a boat by ourselves going through these uncharted waters. But it's become more understood, embraced and accepted, and now it's pretty much expected by fans for athletes, leagues and teams to be there. ~ Amy Jo Martin
Christopher Columbus quotes by Amy Jo Martin
I think that anybody from the 20th century, up to now, has to be aware that if it wasn't for Louis Armstrong, we'd all be wearing powdered wigs. I think that Louis Armstrong loosened the world, helped people to be able to say "Yeah," and to walk with a little dip in their hip. Before Louis Armstrong, the world was definitely square, just like Christopher Columbus thought. ~ Hugh Masekela
Christopher Columbus quotes by Hugh Masekela
"Of this voyage, I observe," says the Admiral, "that it has miraculously been shown, as may be understood by this writing, by the many signal miracles that He has shown on the voyage, and for me, who for so great a time was in the court of Your Highnesses with the opposition and against the opinion of so many high personages of your household, who were all against me, alleging this undertaking to be folly, which I hope in Our Lord will be to the greater glory of Christianity, which to some slight extent already has happened." ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
The Admiral says that he never beheld so fair a thing: trees all along the river, beautiful and green, and different from ours, with flowers and fruits each according to their kind, many birds and little birds which sing very sweetly. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
"Thanks be to God," says the Admiral, "the air is soft as in April in Seville, and it is a pleasure to be in it, so fragrant it is." ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Those people who kill women, children, and defenseless civilians are about as Muslim as mass murderer Christopher Columbus was a Christian. ~ Immortal Technique
Christopher Columbus quotes by Immortal Technique
I have come to believe that this is a mighty continent which was hitherto unknown. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
There are trees of a thousand sorts, and all have their several fruits; and I feel the most unhappy man in the world not to know them, for I am well assured that they are all valuable. I bring home specimens of them, and also of the land. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Quit playing Marco Polo with my ass, Christopher Columbus. This isn't an exploration, so you aren't putting your ding dong in this donut hole ~ B.B. Reid
Christopher Columbus quotes by B.B. Reid
The search for the new black is one of the most elusive quests known to man. It's rumored that Christopher Columbus once searched for the new black and simply gave up. Yet every season we are convinced that some magical chromatic fabric will usurp black as the king of fashion, only to realize later that black still reigns supreme. ~ Ashton Kutcher
Christopher Columbus quotes by Ashton Kutcher
Gold is a treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world, and succeeds in helping souls into paradise. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
You're like Christopher Columbus. You discovered something millions of people did before you. ~ Lisa Simpson
Christopher Columbus quotes by Lisa Simpson
I came to serve you at the age of 28 and now I have not a hair on me that is not white, and my body is infirm and exhausted. All that was left to me and my brothers has been taken away and sold, even to the cloak that I wore, without hearing or trial, to my great dishonor. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
People have called Christopher Columbus horrible, racist, a psycho-maniac killer and a slave owner. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Christopher Columbus quotes by Rush Limbaugh
Cezanne is the Christopher Columbus of a new continent of form. ~ Clive Bell
Christopher Columbus quotes by Clive Bell
Referring to the NFL Players' Association: I have one thing to say about the union: It's like Christopher Columbus. He didn't know where he was going. He didn't know where he was when he got there. He lost two-thirds of his ships along the way. And he did it with someone else's money. ~ Matt Bahr
Christopher Columbus quotes by Matt Bahr
I should be judged as a captain who went from Spain to the Indies to conquer a people numerous and warlike, whose manners and religion are very different from ours, who live in sierras and mountains, without fixed settlements, and where by divine will I have placed under the sovereignty of the King and Queen our Lords, an Other World, whereby Spain, which was reckoned poor, is become the richest of countries. Columbus is coming from the Indies as a prisoner to Cadiz. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
And your Highnesses, as Catholic Christians and Princes, devoted to the holy Christian faith and the propagation thereof - and enemies of the sect of Mohammet and of all idolatries and heresies, resolved to send me, Christopher Columbus, to the said ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
And they know neither sect nor idolatry, with the exception that all believe that the source of all power and goodness is in the sky, and they believe very firmly that I, with these ships and people, came from the sky, and in this belief they everywhere received me, after they had overcome their fear. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus discovered America in a blue-and-white sailor shirt, and since then, men have been wearing blue and white shirts. ~ Mickey Drexler
Christopher Columbus quotes by Mickey Drexler
I have always read that the world, both land and water, was spherical, as the authority and researches of Ptolemy and all the others who have written on this subject demonstrate and prove, as do the eclipses of the moon and other experiments that are made from east to west, and the elevation of the North Star from north to south. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
I ordered each man to be presented with something, as strings of ten or a dozen glass beads apiece, and thongs of leather, all which they estimated highly; those which came on board I directed should be fed with molasses. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
It is easy to discover what another has discovered before. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
If it is the case that you need just a first 11 and three or four more players, then why did Christopher Columbus sail to India to discover America? ~ Claudio Ranieri
Christopher Columbus quotes by Claudio Ranieri
There are even more statues of Robert Burns than of any other figure in world literature. Indeed if we discount figures of religion, then only Christopher Columbus has more statues than he worldwide. ~ Len G. Murray
Christopher Columbus quotes by Len G. Murray
Christopher Columbus said we cannot discover new oceans unless we have the courage to lose sight of the shoreline. ~ Jack Kruse
Christopher Columbus quotes by Jack Kruse
We try, we struggle, all the time to find words to express our love. The quality, the quantity, certain that no two people have experienced it before in the history of creation. Perhaps Catherine and Heathcliff, perhaps Romeo and Juliet, maybe Tristan and Isolde, maybe Hero and Leander, but these are just characters, make-believe. We have known each other forever, since before conception even. We remember playing together in a playpen, crossing paths at FAO Schwarz. We remember meeting in front of the Holy Temple in the days before Christ, we remember greeting each other at the Forum, at the Parthenon, on passing ships as Christopher Columbus sailed to America. We have survived pogrom together, we have died in Dachau together, we have been lynched by the Ku Klux Klan together. There has been cancer, polio, the bubonic plague, consumption, morphine addiction. We have had children together, we have been children together, we were in the womb together. Our history is so deep and wide and long, we have known each other a million years. And we don't know how to express this kind of love, this kind of feeling. I get paralyzed sometimes. One day, we are in the shower and I want to say to him, I could be submerged in sixty feet of water right now, never drowning, never even fearing drowning, knowing I would always be safe with you here, knowing that it would be ok to die as long as you are here. I want to say this but don't. ~ Elizabeth Wurtzel
Christopher Columbus quotes by Elizabeth Wurtzel
The crew of the caravel "Nina" also saw signs of land, and a small branch covered with berries. Everyone breathed afresh and rejoiced at these signs. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Nothing that results in human progress is achieved with unanimous consent. Those that are enlightened before the others are condemned to pursue that light in spite of the others. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Your Highnesses have an Other World here, by which our holy faith can be so greatly advanced and from which such great wealth can be drawn. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Shortly after Christopher Columbus and his sailors returned from their voyage to the New World, a horrifying new disease began to make its way around the Old. The "pox," as it was often called, erupted with dramatic severity. ~ Peter Lewis Allen
Christopher Columbus quotes by Peter Lewis Allen
The President wants to talk about a terrorist named bin Laden. I don't want to talk about bin Laden. I want to talk about a terrorist called Christopher Columbus. I want to talk about a terrorist called George Washington. I want to talk about a terrorist called Rudy Giuliani. The real terrorists have always been the United Snakes of America. ~ Malik Zulu Shabazz
Christopher Columbus quotes by Malik Zulu Shabazz
Neither realism nor romance furnishes a more striking and picturesque figure than that of Christopher Columbus. The mystery about his origin heightens the charm of his story. ~ Chauncey Depew
Christopher Columbus quotes by Chauncey Depew
You do not need to do something extraordinary, like Christopher Columbus did by discovering America, to live on forever as legend. All you have to do is stay true to what is in your heart and do your part to make the world around you a better place for all those who come in contact with you. ~ Vincent J. Monteleone
Christopher Columbus quotes by Vincent J. Monteleone
Tell me about your friends."
"I hardly knew them. The one who ran off with the girl is named Christopher Columbus. Tall guy. Really skinny. Green hair. Fangs. Six fingers on his left hand. About a hundred years old. Lots of wrinkles."
"I trust you are enjoying yourself." the commander sneered. ~ Brandon Mull
Christopher Columbus quotes by Brandon Mull
I also hate those holidays that fall on a Monday where you don't get mail, those fake holidays like Columbus Day. What did Christopher Columbus do, discover America? If he hadn't, somebody else would have and we'd still be here. Big deal. ~ John Waters
Christopher Columbus quotes by John Waters
My desire was not to pass any island without taking possession, so that, one having been taken, the same may be said of all. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Gold is the most precious of all commodities; gold constitutes treasure, and he who possesses it has all he needs in the world, as also the means of rescuing souls from purgatory, and restoring them to the enjoyment of paradise. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
I saw a boy of the crew purchasing javelins of them with bits of platters and broken glass. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Their houses are all built in the shape of tents, with very high chimneys. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
My litmus test of compatibility is 'Tom Cruise.' I hate people who hate Tom Cruise, cultural automatons who at the mention of his name reflexively bridle and say the diminutive thespian and Theta level Scientoligist is 'crazy' and 'a terrible actor'. They hate him because he's easy to hate. They think that despising Tom Cruise's lack of personality and supposed lack of talent is somehow a blow against the bland American Anschluss of the rest of the planet. Tom Cruise may indeed be the Christopher Columbus of the twentieth century, sent off by the kings of Hollywood to prove the new world of International Box Office isn't flat and to find a direct route into the Asian market, but the decline of everything isn't his fault; he's just a cinematic explorer and a damn fine actor. And hating him doesn't make you seditious- it makes you complicit. ~ Paul Beatty
Christopher Columbus quotes by Paul Beatty
The appeal of travel books is also the sense that you are different, an outsider, almost like the Robinson Crusoe or Christopher Columbus notion of being the first person in a new place. ~ Paul Theroux
Christopher Columbus quotes by Paul Theroux
Each day we understand better what the Indians say, and they us, so that very often we are intelligible to each other. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
It is hoped that by God's assistance, some of the continents in the Ocean will be discovered ... for the Glory of God. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
An old man came on board my boat; the others, both men and women cried with loud voices: "Come and see the men who have come from the sky. Bring them victuals and drink." ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
I propose to construct a new chart for navigating, on which I shall delineate all the sea and lands of the Ocean in their proper positions under their bearings; and further, I propose to prepare a book, and to put down all as it were in a picture, by latitude from the equator, and western longitude. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
These people are very unskilled in arms ... with 50 men they could all be subjected and made to do all that one wished. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Dilbert: You joined the "Flat Earth Society?" Dogbert: I believe the earth must be flat. There is no good evidence to support the so-called "round earth theory." Dilbert: I think Christopher Columbus would disagree. Dogbert: How convenient that your best witness is dead. ~ Scott Adams
Christopher Columbus quotes by Scott Adams
As soon as I arrived in the Indies, in the first island which I found, I took some of the natives by force, in order that they might learn and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts. And so it was that they soon understood us, and we them, either by speech or by signs, and they have been very serviceable. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Weep for me, whoever has charity, truth and justice! I did not come on this voyage for gain, honor or wealth, that is certain; for then the hope of all such things was dead. I came to Your Highnesses with honest purpose and sincere zeal; and I do not lie. I humbly beseech Your Highnesses that, if it please God to remove me hence, you will help me to go to Rome and on other pilgrimages. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
I found that part of it towards San Salvador extending from north to south five leagues, and the other side which we coasted along, ran from east to west more than ten leagues. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
And I say that Your Highnesses ought not to consent that any foreigner does business or sets foot here, except Christian Catholics since this was the end and the beginning of the enterprise, that it should be for the enhancement and glory of the Christian religion, nor should anyone who is not a good Christian come to these parts. Here may be found the first suggestion of the exclusive colonial policy that Spain and other nations followed. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
The sea will grant each man new hope, and sleep will bring dreams of home. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
But in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus, who said to Queen Isabella, No, you got it wrong! The world is round. You're flat! Never got a dinner! ~ Red Buttons
Christopher Columbus quotes by Red Buttons
Dynamic, rapidly expanding European monarchy seeks a can-do visionary to head up its South American divisions.Our ideal candidate will have at least five years' experience in New World colonization and be willing to accept shift work. Fluency in Spanish an asset.Some travel involved ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
What a pity, when Christopher Columbus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it. ~ Margot Asquith
Christopher Columbus quotes by Margot Asquith
Tomorrow morning before we depart, I intend to land and see what can be found in the neighborhood. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
A hundred castellanoes are as easily obtained for a woman as for a farm, and it is very general and there are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
Captain Cook discovered Australia looking for the Terra Incognita. Christopher Columbus thought he was finding India but discovered America. History is full of events that happened because of an imaginary tale. ~ Umberto Eco
Christopher Columbus quotes by Umberto Eco
Stood off and on during the night, determining not to come to anchor till morning, fearing to meet with shoals; continued our course in the morning; and as the island was found to be six or seven leagues distant, and the tide was against us, it was noon when we arrived there. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
I am the Alexander Graham Bell of the phone company, the Christopher Columbus of America because after 'The Twist' everything changed, .. Watch the films from 1958 up to 1959, and watch American Bandstand during that time. After the song came out, everything was different. ~ Chubby Checker
Christopher Columbus quotes by Chubby Checker
No thoughts had I of anything,
Or at least that's what I thought;
I even thought I couldn't think,
But now I think I never thought. ~ Christopher Miller
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher  Miller
THEY NEVER TAUGHT MARCUS GARVEY IN OUR SCHOOL CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS IS THEIR GOLDEN RULE ~ Jay-Z
Christopher Columbus quotes by Jay-Z
We tend to hear much more about the splendors returned than the ships that brought them or the shipwrights. It has always been that way. Even those history books enamored of the voyages of Christopher Columbus do not tell much about the builders of the Nina the Pinta and the Santa Maria or about the principle of the caravel. These spacecraft their designers builders navigators and controllers are examples of what science and engineering set free for well-defined peaceful purposes can accomplish. Those scientists and engineers should be role models for an America seeking excellence and international competitiveness. They should be on our stamps. ~ Carl Sagan
Christopher Columbus quotes by Carl Sagan
For the execution of the voyage to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Columbus
My films do very well on home video. ~ Christopher McQuarrie
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher McQuarrie
I've learned to distinguish between the greatness of God and the inexcusable evil that has been done by those professing his name. And so I do not deduce [as Christopher Hitchens does] that God is not great, and that religion poisons everything. After all, if I failed to distinguish between the genius of Einstein and the abuse of his science to create weapons of mass destruction, I might be tempted to say science is not great, and technology poisons everything. ~ John Lennox
Christopher Columbus quotes by John Lennox
Christopher Hitchens is the greatest living essayist in the English language. ~ Christopher Buckley
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Buckley
Religion in Chinatown, as in most places, is based less on a cogent theology and more on a collection of random fears, superstitions, prejudices, forgotten customs, vestigial animism, and social control. Mrs. Ling, while a professed Buddhist of the Pure Land tradition, also kept waving cat charms, lucky coins, and put great faith in the good fortune of the color red ... and was very much in favor of any tradition, superstition, or ritual that involved fireworks ... ~ Christopher Moore
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Moore
I remember that. I was talking to him and I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell everything. You can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared. ~ Christopher Walken
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Walken
I mean, what would I be doing if I couldn't write? But that fortunately hasn't proved to be the case and I can read any day. I still read a lot, and I can write any day, but much more slowly and fewer words. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Hitchens
I don't discuss my own beliefs in public, but I will say the beliefs I've given my characters do not necessarily represent what I myself believe. ~ Christopher Paolini
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Paolini
In effect, nobody who is not from the losing classes has ever been thrust into a death cell in these United States. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Hitchens
I've actually always wanted to play the character a bit 'off'. I think that could be fun. ~ Christopher Sieber
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Sieber
How easily the paint of civilization peels off with a little bad weather. ~ Christopher Buehlman
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Buehlman
Hobbes took the madness of his age, considered it "normal," and projected it back into prehistoric epochs of which he knew next to nothing. What Hobbes called "human nature" was a projection of seventeenth-century Europe, where life for most was rough, to put it mildly. Though it has persisted for centuries, Hobbes's dark fantasy of prehistoric human life is as valid as grand conclusions about Siberian wolves based on observations of stray dogs in Tijuana. ~ Christopher Ryan
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Ryan
I am a very lucky guy. I can testify before Congress. I can raise funds. I can raise awareness. ~ Christopher Reeve
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Reeve
Like love, privacy is most manifest in its absence. ~ Christopher Moore
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Moore
I only ever worked on interiors, and an interior is an interior. I don't know what they did about exteriors. ~ Christopher Eccleston
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Eccleston
Virtue and merit can become their opposites if they are exacted or compelled ... ~ Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Hitchens
A growing awareness of the depth of popular attachment to the family has led some liberals to concede that family is not just a buzzword for reaction. ~ Christopher Lasch
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Lasch
The reality is that there are plenty of trustworthy people in the world rebuilding their lives. It was a very gradual process for me to open up and talk about what was really going on in my recovery. The more I started to take risks by talking to others, however, the more I had an opportunity to exercise boundaries. As I asserted new boundaries, I started to gravitate towards people with integrity, warmheartedness and decency. ~ Christopher Dines
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Dines
Mills was experienced enough to understand what gay men were often forced to be in this world: romantic opportunists. ~ Christopher Bollen
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Bollen
The mandarins of culture - what do they do to teach the common folk to read? It's no good writing down lists of books for farmers and compiling five-foot shelves; you've got to go out and visit the people yourself - take the books to them, talk to the teachers and bully the editors of country newspapers and farm magazines and tell the children stories - and then little by little you begin to get good books circulating in the veins of the nation. It's a great work, mind you! ~ Christopher Moley
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Moley
There are some geologists involved with prospecting for oil and other hidden resources who can pick up a rock and say, 'Yes, there's oil under there.' A geologist who has been studying those kinds of rocks for 10 or 20 years is able to make that pronouncement. ~ Christopher Alexander
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Alexander
The flaw is when the "might makes right" rule vests property rights in whichever local actors can be the most ruthless or terrifying. That first step is the flaw that any market system worthy of the name must correct. ~ Christopher Heath Wellman
Christopher Columbus quotes by Christopher Heath Wellman
Mystified by the change in their formerly awkward relationship, Christopher asked Bennett what had happened to alter it.
"I told her I was impotent from old war wounds," Bennett said. "That calmed her nerves considerably."
Taken aback, Christopher had brought himself to ask gingerly, "Are you?"
"Hell no," came Bennett's indignant reply. "I only said it because she was so skittish around me. And it worked."
Christopher had given him a sardonic glance. "Are you ever going to tell Audrey the truth?"
A mischievous smile had played at the corners of Bennett's lips. "I may let her cure me soon," he admitted. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Christopher Columbus quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Someone like Vincent Price or somebody like Christopher Lee, they never won an award, and it doesn't matter. They're cool. ~ Nicolas Cage
Christopher Columbus quotes by Nicolas Cage
