Scientists and religious leaders, activists and first nation leaders, CEOs of corporations and actors, all of us need to come together, because the planet is in a lot of pain. My job [acting] doesn't always feel like an integral part of the change that needs to occur. If I can offer, in my profession, to do things that are going to allow more people to connect with certain issues, then I hope it's useful. ~ Ellen Page
First Nation quotes by Ellen Page
The first nation to separate Christianity from government produced perhaps the most religious nation on earth. ~ Philip Yancey
First Nation quotes by Philip Yancey
Choosing education is a very good decision, not only good for the student, but also for our country. The United States was the first nation in history to recognize that public education for every citizen, regardless of class or station, was vital to its future ... ~ Mitt Romney
First Nation quotes by Mitt Romney
Before you rip off three feet of toilet paper, consider that each year 500,000 acres of virgin boreal forest in northern Alberta and Ontario are being clear-cut to make the stuff. These forests are home to some 500 First Nation communities, as well as caribou and bears, moose and wolves, and, in the summertime, billions of songbirds. ~ Alex Shoumatoff
First Nation quotes by Alex Shoumatoff
It was no accident that just minutes after Israel became a nation, the United States ... became the first nation in the world to recognize what was prophesized throughout the Old Testament about Israel returning after its absence. ~ Louie Gohmert
First Nation quotes by Louie Gohmert
In the course of history, all empires have been created with premeditation, by an effort often sustained over several generations. Every power has been Roman to a degree. The United States is the first nation to become the most powerful in the world without having sought to be so. Its exceptional energy and organization have never been oriented toward conquest. ~ Andre Malraux
First Nation quotes by Andre Malraux
Ours was the first nation to be founded on the idea that all are created equal and all deserve equal treatment under the law. Despite our missteps and shortcomings, these ideals still inspire hope among the oppressed and give us pride in being Americans. ~ Jimmy Carter
First Nation quotes by Jimmy Carter
This is the first nation that organized government on the basis of universal liberty with a free Church and a free State. This meant much at the time; it means much now and will continue to be the beacon of light and guidance for ourselves and of other nations. All that is good and practical and wise in the new developments can best be worked out under our form of government without destroying any of the basic principles upon which it rests. ~ Oscar Straus
First Nation quotes by Oscar Straus
The United States is the first nation to regularly conduct strikes using remotely piloted aircraft in an armed conflict. Other nations also possess this technology. Many more nations are seeking it, and more will succeed in acquiring it. ~ John O. Brennan
First Nation quotes by John O. Brennan
My family are doctors and pilots and people involved in indigenous First Nation land rights; not overtly artistic. ~ Deborah Kara Unger
First Nation quotes by Deborah Kara Unger
Japan is the first nation in the world to accord 'comic books'
originally a 'humorous' form of entertainment mainly for young people
nearly the same social status as novels and films. ~ Frederik L. Schodt
First Nation quotes by Frederik L. Schodt
We are the first nation in the history of the world to go to the poorhouse in an automobile. ~ Will Rogers
First Nation quotes by Will Rogers
Fall into the cavern of my mind, and together there, we will dine. ~ Brad Jensen
First Nation quotes by Brad Jensen
The Maldives, a string of islands off the coast of India whose highest point above sea level is eight feet, may be the first nation to drown. In Alaska, entire towns have begun to shift in the loosening permafrost. ~ Michael Specter
First Nation quotes by Michael Specter
[He] looked at her as though she'd lost her mind, and [she] had her first experience of men rewriting history. I did no such thing [he said] ~ Jude Deveraux
First Nation quotes by Jude Deveraux
when I finally begin to drift
into sleep
your memory is the...first
and the moonlight
the last, to kiss my face. ~ Sanober Khan
First Nation quotes by Sanober Khan
I know many married men, I even know a few happily married men, but I don't know one who wouldn't fall down the first open coal hole running after the first pretty girl who gave him a wink. ~ George Jean Nathan
First Nation quotes by George Jean Nathan
What happened to your arm?" she asked me one night in the Gentleman Loser, the three of us drinking at a small table in a corner.

Hang-gliding," I said, "accident."

Hang-gliding over a wheatfield," said Bobby, "place called Kiev. Our Jack's just hanging there in the dark, under a Nightwing parafoil, with fifty kilos of radar jammed between his legs, and some Russian asshole accidentally burns his arm off with a laser."

I don't remember how I changed the subject, but I did.

I was still telling myself that it wasn't Rikki who getting to me, but what Bobby was doing with her. I'd known him for a long time, since the end of the war, and I knew he used women as counters in a game, Bobby Quine versus fortune, versus time and the night of cities. And Rikki had turned up just when he needed something to get him going, something to aim for. So he'd set her up as a symbol for everything he wanted and couldn't have, everything he'd had and couldn't keep.

I didn't like having to listen to him tell me how much he loved her, and knowing he believed it only made it worse. He was a past master at the hard fall and the rapid recovery, and I'd seen it happen a dozen times before. He might as well have had next printed across his sunglasses in green Day-Glo capitals, ready to flash out at the first interesting face that flowed past the tables in the Gentleman Loser.

I knew what he did to them. He turned them into emblems, sigils ~ William Gibson
First Nation quotes by William Gibson
I'm asking Muslims in the West a very basic question: Will we remain spiritually infantile, caving to cultural pressures to clam up and conform, or will we mature into full-fledged citizens, defending the very pluralism that allows us to be in this part of the world in the first place? My question for non-Muslims is equally basic: Will you succumb to the intimidation of being called "racists," or will you finally challenge us Muslims to take responsibility for our role in what ails Islam? ~ Irshad Manji
First Nation quotes by Irshad Manji
We must begin to train lawyers the minute they walk into law school to tell the truth. They must immediately begin to learn the business of representing people. They must be assigned cases the first day. ~ Gerry Spence
First Nation quotes by Gerry Spence
I've tucked and tried to roll after that first spread-eagle spin but soon discovered the universal truth that bowling-ball-shaped objects bounce downhill much faster than do mannequin-shaped objects. In my current predicament, speed, obviously, was not my friend. ~ Stephen White
First Nation quotes by Stephen White
It matters little who first arrives at an idea, rather what is significant is how far that idea can go ~ Sophie Germain
First Nation quotes by Sophie Germain
We all have a stake in the truth. Society functions based on an assumption that people will abide by their word - that truth prevails over mendacity. For the most part, it does. If it didn't, relationships would have a short shelf life, commerce would cease, and trust between parents and children would be destroyed. All of us depend on honesty, because when truth is lacking we suffer, and society suffers. When Adolf Hitler lied to Neville Chamberlain, there was not peace in our time, and over fifty million people paid the price with their lives. When Richard Nixon lied to the nation, it destroyed the respect many had for the office of the president. When Enron executives lied to their employees, thousands of lives were ruined overnight. We count on our government and commercial institutions to be honest and truthful. We need and expect our friends and family to be truthful. Truth is essential for all relations be they personal, professional, or civic. ~ Joe Navarro
First Nation quotes by Joe Navarro
I discovered John Truby ten years ago when a friend told me about his screenwriting course. I studied Truby's principles for a year and
using them
I wrote the first draft of The Thieves of Ostia in two weeks. I go back to his teachings before each new book I write. Each time I study Truby, I learn something new. ~ Caroline Lawrence
First Nation quotes by Caroline Lawrence
Well, it arose out of two long-term concerns - the first being the possibility of genetic manipulation, nature versus nurture, what constitutes how people get to be how they are. ~ Katherine Dunn
First Nation quotes by Katherine Dunn
Derrida… labels as 'metaphysical' any such thought system which depends on an unassailable foundation, a first principle or unimpeachable ground upon which a whole hierarchy of meanings may be constructed. It is not that he believes that we can merely rid ourselves of the urge to forge such first principles, for such an impulse is deeply embedded in our history, and cannot - at least as yet - be eradicated or ignored. Derrida would see his own work as inescapably 'contaminated' by such metaphysical thought, much as he strives to give it the slip. But if you examine such first principles closely, you can see that they may always be 'deconstructed': they can be shown to be products of a particular system of meaning, rather than what props it up from the outside. ~ Terry Eagleton
First Nation quotes by Terry Eagleton
The Renaissance did not break completely with mediaeval history and values. Sir Philip Sidney is often considered the model of the perfect Renaissance gentleman. He embodied the mediaeval virtues of the knight (the noble warrior), the lover (the man of passion), and the scholar (the man of learning). His death in 1586, after the Battle of Zutphen, sacrificing the last of his water supply to a wounded soldier, made him a hero. His great sonnet sequence Astrophel and Stella is one of the key texts of the time, distilling the author's virtues and beliefs into the first of the Renaissance love masterpieces. His other great work, Arcadia, is a prose romance interspersed with many poems and songs. ~ Ronald Carter
First Nation quotes by Ronald Carter
For me it's always contingent on getting a sound-the sound always suggests what kind of melody it should be. So it's always sound first and then the line afterwards. ~ Brian Eno
First Nation quotes by Brian Eno
I remember thinking as I was doing the jokes for the first time, "If I can hear that very clearly, I'm not hearing laughter." It just became deafening, this buzzing noise. I mean, it was brutal. It was really terrible. Then I remember thinking, "At least nobody important, or anyone who I really respect, saw that." And then literally right when I went off the stage, Jerry Seinfeld got up and went on. So I was like, "Oh great. Seinfeld saw me bomb." On the other hand, I thought, "At least no one will be thinking of me anymore. They'll just be focusing on him." ~ Seth Rogen
First Nation quotes by Seth Rogen
Every city has a village in its heart. You will never understand the city, unless you first understand the village. ~ Gregory David Roberts
First Nation quotes by Gregory David Roberts
Anyone who tells you that one political party has a monopoly on the best defense of our nation is committing a fraud on the American people. ~ Wesley Clark
First Nation quotes by Wesley Clark
The system of transportation is not coherent; it is not treated as integral. Roads compete with with railroads and airlines in chaotic fashion, and at immense cost to the nation. ~ Anthony Stafford Beer
First Nation quotes by Anthony Stafford Beer
When I first started acting, I was just crap. ~ Heath Ledger
First Nation quotes by Heath Ledger
We must recognize that every nation determines its policies in terms of its own interests. ~ John F. Kennedy
First Nation quotes by John F. Kennedy
First, we would not accept a treaty that would not have been ratified,
nor a treaty that I thought made sense for the country. ~ George W. Bush
First Nation quotes by George W. Bush
Carmyn drops her glass from her lips first and bites into the slice of lime she's holding in her other hand. Her lips wrap around the flesh of the fruit, and my dick flexes in earnest. I've watched women suck on me and not look nearly that seductive. ~ Angeline Kace
First Nation quotes by Angeline Kace
As an entrepreneur, value creation will always be your first line of defense against business failure. ~ Gregory V. Diehl
First Nation quotes by Gregory V. Diehl
We are not engaged in domestic politics, in church building or in social uplift work, but we are engaged in nation building. ~ Marcus Garvey
First Nation quotes by Marcus Garvey
I remember the first time I held my book, my first book in my hands. I cannot tell you how it moved me. ~ Jan Karon
First Nation quotes by Jan Karon
August was almost over. The first cool touch of autumn moved slowly through the town and there was a softening and the first gradual burning fever of color in every tree, a faint flush and coloring in the hills, and the color of lions in the wheat fields. Now the pattern of days was familiar and repeated like a penman beautifully inscribing again and again, in practice, a series of it's and w's and m's, day after day the line repeated in delicate rills. ~ Ray Bradbury
First Nation quotes by Ray Bradbury
It is in the translation that the innocence lost after the first reading is restored under another guise, since the reader is once again faced with a new text and its attendant mystery. That is the inescapable paradox of translation, and also its wealth. ~ Alberto Manguel
First Nation quotes by Alberto Manguel
He gave her one of his old, charming half smiles, a teasing one. "And you kissed a vampire. That's crazy. That's not usually what they do with their mouths, you know. I'm kind of jealous."

"Oh, come on," she said, rolling her eyes. "Like you care what I do. You dumped me, remember?"

"First of all," Aidan said, giving her his most insouciant smile and holding up a single finger, "I never said I was jealous of him. Maybe I was jealous of you for getting all his attention. He's not a bad-looking guy, if you don't mind a side serving of lunatic raving. Good mouth. ~ Holly Black
First Nation quotes by Holly Black
Like clockwork, the powerful end up dictating, and so everyone is forced to compete for power, which only leads to an ever-escalating quest for control over others. This is the condition in which we live in early twenty-first century America. Without viable alternatives, everyone must adhere to the dictates of those in power, whether it is the Democrats or Republicans, the corporations or the unions. Given such a predicament, it is only reasonable to strive to achieve control, and so ensues a never ending struggle to obtain and hold power over everyone else. ~ Eric Robert Morse
First Nation quotes by Eric Robert Morse
God manifests himself to us in the first degree through the life of the universe, and in the second degree through the thought of man. The second manifestation is not less holy than the first. The first is named Nature, the second is named Art. ~ Victor Hugo
First Nation quotes by Victor Hugo
If we trace the history of any nation backwards into the past, we come at last to a period of myths and traditions which eventually fade away into impenetrable darkness. ~ Bal Gangadhar Tilak
First Nation quotes by Bal Gangadhar Tilak
For over 221 years our Corps has done two things for this great Nation. We make Marines, and we win battles. ~ Charles C. Krulak
First Nation quotes by Charles C. Krulak
Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right.
This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world
No, YOU move. ~ J. Michael Straczynski
First Nation quotes by J. Michael Straczynski
And the others were thinking equally gloomy thoughts, although when they had said good-bye to Elrond in the high hope of a midsummer morning, they' had spoken gaily of the passage of the mountains, and of riding swift across the lands beyond. They had thought of coming to the secret door in the Lonely Mountain, perhaps that very next first moon of Autumn - 'and perhaps it will be Durin's Day' they had said. Only Gandalf had shaken his head and said nothing. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
First Nation quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
Fastidious attention to detail makes the difference between an OK service and first class service. ~ Ben Elliot
First Nation quotes by Ben Elliot
The comedy in our lives was those first few weeks we lived together in Paris: Our bodies desired one another, our souls opened for one another. We experienced all of the happiness and anguish of first love. Those first few weeks in Paris, we barely touched lips; yet the few times we did, it had the force of a collision of stars. ~ Roman Payne
