Terror became a big issue when the Reagan Administration came in. They immediately announced [their plans] and kind of disparaged Carter's alleged human rights programs. The main issue is state-directed international terrorism. Right at that time that big industry developed. That's when you start getting the academic departments on terrorism. ~ Noam Chomsky
Main Issue quotes by Noam Chomsky
Main issue with most of men is of perfect timing. ~ Junaid Raza
Main Issue quotes by Junaid Raza
My main issue is sustainability of the Earth, and protection of those animals and people who dwell here. ~ Lynda Resnick
Main Issue quotes by Lynda Resnick
In that August of 1957, however, the cloakroom was often crowded, with senators talking earnestly on sofas and standing in animated little groups, and sometimes the glances between various groups were not comradely at all - sometimes, in fact, they glinted with a barely concealed hostility, and the narrow room simmered with tension, for the main issue before the Senate that summer was civil rights, a proposed law intended to make voting easier for millions of black Americans ~ Robert A. Caro
Main Issue quotes by Robert A. Caro
The main issue was deciding what to play: Should it be old Ramones material or new material? I had about three albums worth of new material, but I knew that people would rather hear the Ramones songs. ~ Dee Dee Ramone
Main Issue quotes by Dee Dee Ramone
First, they came for the bigots, and I said nothing, because I didn't believe I was a bigot, then ... it was really nice, it turned out it was the bigots who'd been the main issue. We just all went out and had a lovely picnic together. ~ Robin Ince
Main Issue quotes by Robin Ince
Spirituality was the main issue. Connection with God was the main issue. ~ Daniel Berrigan
Main Issue quotes by Daniel Berrigan
I think the main issue is that a lot of the stars today are very addicted, and they simply feel more comfortable smoking as they act. ~ Joe Eszterhas
Main Issue quotes by Joe Eszterhas
The main issue [of the Scientific Revolution] is that the people in the industrialised countries are getting richer, and those in the non-industrialised countries are at best standing still: so the gap between the industrialised countries and the rest is widening every day. On the world scale this is the gap between the rich and the poor. ~ C.P. Snow
Main Issue quotes by C.P. Snow
Fifty years from now I don't think optical realism is going to be an issue in visual communication any more. Experience is so much richer than light falling on your retina. You embody a microcosm of reality when you walk down the street - your memories, your varying degrees of awareness of what's going on around you, everything we could call the contextualizing information. Representing that information is going to be the main issue in the years ahead - how the world meets the mind, not the eye. ~ Bill Viola
Main Issue quotes by Bill Viola
Whether they knew of didn't know is not the main issue; the main issue is whether a man is innocent because he didn't know. ( ... ) by beating himself on the chest and proclaiming, "My conscience is clear! I did not know! I was a believer!" Isn't his "I did not know I was a believer!" at the very root of his irreparable guilt? ~ Milan Kundera
Main Issue quotes by Milan Kundera
Yet, the main issue is not the shaping of the minds by explicit messages in the media, but the absence of a given content in the media. ~ Manuel Castells
Main Issue quotes by Manuel Castells
I'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction. ~ J.J. Abrams
Main Issue quotes by J.J. Abrams
If they don't board and live by themselves, even in their second year they've got no lounge or kitchen table and it's a pretty lonely existence when you get home to an empty house. Homesickness is a key issue for kids who are drafted interstate, whether they are going to Melbourne or coming to Perth or going to Brisbane. All the kids we've drafted this year will all go through periods of homesickness, which can lead to worse things. ~ Trevor Nisbett
Main Issue quotes by Trevor Nisbett
I know my little 'dirty drawings' are never going to hang in the main salons of the Louvre, but it would be nice if - I would like to say 'when,' but I better say 'if' - our world learns to accept all the different ways of loving. Then maybe I could have a place in one of the smaller side rooms. ~ Tom Of Finland
Main Issue quotes by Tom Of Finland
Living with a single kidney is almost exactly like living with two; the remaining kidney expands to take up the slack. (When kidneys fail, they generally fail together; barring trauma or cancer, there's not much advantage to a backup.) The main risk to the donor is the risk of any surgery. ~ Virginia Postrel
Main Issue quotes by Virginia Postrel
My main objective was to interrogate people. I never killed anyone with my own hands. If I hadn't been there, someone else would have taken my place. But it was me: I had a pen, I made notes, I tried to write impartial reports to submit to my superiors, but they wanted confessions that led to more arrests. I sacrificed everything for the Revolution, and back then I believed in what I was doing. I was proud at the time. But as I look back now, it makes me shudder. The fact that I killed more than twelve thousand people makes me feel ashamed. ~ Anonymous
Main Issue quotes by Anonymous
The issue for us is rebuilding a governing majority that is comfortable with differences that can transcend the divisiveness and unify behind the principles that we know our party has succeeded on. ~ Eric Cantor
Main Issue quotes by Eric Cantor
My main concern is meeting with public because my main commitment, main interest is promotion of human value, human affection, compassion and religious harmony. ~ Dalai Lama
Main Issue quotes by Dalai Lama
Look, we constantly live looking at the issue of the threat of terrorism. ~ Theresa May
Main Issue quotes by Theresa May
I think generalizations of any sort are dangerous. I'll say, if that is the case - right now it's an American issue. ~ Kerry Washington
Main Issue quotes by Kerry Washington
The MSS uses two main themes in recruiting foreign nationals of Chinese ancestry. First, it appeals to their perceived obligation to help the land of their heritage, thereby exploiting sentimental feelings of ethnic pride. Second, it implies that family members still in the PRC will receive unfavorable treatment unless the subjects cooperate. The latter approach is quite stressful for the subjects and a strong motivational factor in favor of compliance. ~ Nicholas Eftimiades
Main Issue quotes by Nicholas Eftimiades
It is a mistake to suppose that all change or development is growth. The present condition of the earth's surface is not mature or immature; the horse has not, so far as we know, reached some final and presumably optimal stage in evolutionary development. If a child's language seems to grow like an embryo, it is only because the environmental contingencies have been neglected. The feral child has no language, not because his isolation has interfered with some growth process, but because he has not been exposed to a verbal community. We have no reason to call any culture mature in the sense that further growth is unlikely or that it would necessarily be a kind of deterioration. We call some cultures underdeveloped or immature in contrast with others we call 'advanced', but it is a crude form of jingoism to imply that any government, religion, or economic system is mature.

The main objection to the metaphor of growth, in considering either the development of an individual or the evolution of a culture, is that it emphasizes a terminal state which does not have a function. We say that an organism grows toward maturity or in order to reach maturity. Maturity becomes a goal, and progress becomes movement towards a goal. A goal is literally a terminus - the end of something such as a foot race. It has no effect on the race except to bring it to an end. The word is used in this relatively empty sense when we say that the goal of life is death or that the goal of evolution ~ B.F. Skinner
Main Issue quotes by B.F. Skinner
Gay marriage is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I AM NOT UNDERSTATING THAT. ~ Michele Bachmann
Main Issue quotes by Michele Bachmann
Self-righteousness and presumptive moral judgments pose a great danger in the political arena. To become convinced of the divine infallibility of one's personal predilections on a secular political issue is to play God, to assume to oneself the attributes of deity. It cultivates an arrogant intolerance of dissenting viewpoints and relegates one's political adversaries to the category of evil per se. ~ Jim Wright
Main Issue quotes by Jim Wright
In the end, abortion is an issue of fundamental human rights. To force women to undergo pregnancy and childbirth against their will is to deprive them of the right to make basic decisions about their lives and well-being, and to give that power to the state. ~ Katha Pollitt
Main Issue quotes by Katha Pollitt
There are two side to every issue. ~ Ayn Rand
Main Issue quotes by Ayn Rand
Get the mind right, the body will follow, you lose some battles in life, but if you always put your heart and passion forward first as your main objective, you will win the war, that's what gives you the strength to get off the ground ... and do it again. ~ Greg Plitt
Main Issue quotes by Greg Plitt
I don't want to get in a big, long discussion about right and wrong, but our company has been working on the issue of underage drinking and alcohol abuse for a long time. I've been outspoken about it. ~ Pete Coors
Main Issue quotes by Pete Coors
I can resist anything except temptation. Ren, main character in Sherrilyn Kenyon's novel Time Untime. ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Main Issue quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
The Economist is undoubtedly the smartest weekly newsmagazine in the English language. I always look forward to its quirky year-end double issue. ~ Eric Alterman
Main Issue quotes by Eric Alterman
Is time real? ... In one sense, it's a silly question. The "reality" of something is only an interesting issue if its a well-defined concept whose actual existence is in question, like Bigfoot or supersymmetry. For concepts like "time," which are unambiguously part of a useful vocabulary we have for describing the world, talking about "reality" is just a bit of harmless gassing. They may be emergent or fundamental, but they're definitely there. ~ Sean Carroll
Main Issue quotes by Sean Carroll
The main fuel to speed the world's progress is our stock of knowledge, and the brake is our lack of imagination. ~ Julian Simon
Main Issue quotes by Julian Simon
Security is still the most important issue facing Washington state residents and millions of Americans - the security of having a job, of access to affordable health care, of a quality education, and of protecting our homeland and defending our nation. ~ Patty Murray
Main Issue quotes by Patty Murray
For the purposes of this book, however, the relevant question is much narrower: the issue is not whether, in general, a national securities regulator is preferable to Canada's fragmented provincial securities regulatory system. The key question, for our purposes, is this: Would a national securities regulator have made a material difference in this specific case? Framed this way, the question is much more challenging and the answer far less certain. ~ Paul Halpern
Main Issue quotes by Paul Halpern
Why couldn't she pick a nice, dark, quiet, deserted spot to do her evil machinations in?"
"Because she's an arrogant bitch and her main goal in life is to frustrate you before she kills you," Finn quipped. ~ Jennifer Estep
Main Issue quotes by Jennifer Estep
The politics of identity is nothing new, certainly on the American right. What was astonishing during the Reagan Dispensation was the development of a left-wing version of it that became the de facto creed of two generations of liberal politicians, professors, schoolteachers, journalists, movement activists, and officials of the Democratic Party. This was not a historical accident. For the fascination, and then obsession, with identity did not challenge the fundamental principle of Reaganism. It reinforced that principle: individualism. Identity politics on the left was at first about large classes of people -- African-Americans, women -- seeking to redress major historical wrongs by mobilizing and then working through our political institutions to secure their rights. But by the 1980s it had given way to a pseudo-politics of self-regard and increasingly narrow and exclusionary self-definition that is now cultivated in our colleges and universities. The main result has been to turn young people back onto themselves, rather than turning them toward the wider world. It has left them unprepared to think about the common good and what must be done practically to secure it -- especially the hard and unglamorous task of persuading people very different from themselves to join a common effort. Every advance of liberal identity consciousness has marked a retreat of liberal political consciousness. Without which no vision of America's future can be imagined. ~ Mark Lilla
Main Issue quotes by Mark Lilla
Forgiveness is not reconciliation. Those are two different things. Sometimes they go together, but not always. Forgiveness is an issue between you and the Lord. Reconciliation is an issue between you and the other person. ~ Michelle Borquez
Main Issue quotes by Michelle Borquez
The main thing going on in the 20th century is a dissolving of boundaries, all the boundaries that historical civilization put in place. ~ Terence McKenna
Main Issue quotes by Terence McKenna
My main focus, whenever I put on a new uniform, was just to provide energy ... There was one thing I knew I could never mess up, and that was going hard. That's what I really kind of relied on to get me through the transition period between two teams. ~ Drew Gooden
Main Issue quotes by Drew Gooden
I'm happy to stick with my persona. There are themes of love lost and love regained, but the main themes of all poems are basically love and death, and that seems to be the message of poetry. ~ Billy Collins
Main Issue quotes by Billy Collins
We're all different. We all have our own quirks and flaws and dark secrets. All of us are fucked up on some level, whether or not we want to admit it to ourselves. And I like to believe that not every problem or issue that we deal with in our daily lives must be labelled with a fancy title. ~ J.A. Redmerski
Main Issue quotes by J.A. Redmerski
For example, the main reason zebras never got domesticated is that they're ultra-high-fear. Zebras may bite people and not let go. They injure more people in zoos than the tigers do.15 ~ Temple Grandin
Main Issue quotes by Temple Grandin
The issue for the major companies is how, is how when and where to make their content online. So you look at these major cable companies, whether it's Disney or Time Warner, News Corp., ESPN, USA, they're being very very careful, about making their content available over the internet, and they're trying to figure it out. ~ Harry E. Sloan
Main Issue quotes by Harry E. Sloan
We need to tap into new issues. There's a way to resurrect the sound policies of our party, but also to look toward new issues - kitchen-table issues like the rising cost of education. I think that's a winning issue for Republicans. ~ Andrea Tantaros
Main Issue quotes by Andrea Tantaros
The president has very little effect on the economy. If you want to put blame or credit, the main person who influences the business cycle is the head of the Federal Reserve Bank. ~ Robert Fogel
Main Issue quotes by Robert Fogel
I never go anywhere and encourage people to get married to someone of the same gender or to have abortions - the issue never comes up. ~ Cindy Sheehan
Main Issue quotes by Cindy Sheehan
Independence is the luxury of all those people who are too confident, and busy, and popular, and attractive to be just plain old lonely. And make no mistake, lonely is absolutely the worst thing to be. Tell someone that you've got a drink problem, or an eating disorder, or your dad died when you were a kid even, and you can almost see their eyes light up with the sheer fascinating drama and pathos of it all, because you've got an issue, something for them to get involved in, to talk about and analyse and discuss and maybe even cure. But tell someone you're lonely and of course they'll seem sympathetic, but look very carefully and you'll see one hand snaking behind their back, groping for the door handle, ready to make a run for it, as if loneliness itself were contagious. Because being lonely is just so banal, so shaming, so plain and dull and ugly. ~ David Nicholls
Main Issue quotes by David Nicholls
As he saw it, the central issue had shifted from the purely racial to the economic. King likened the situation to a lifelong prisoner who is released from jail after the warden discovers that the man was falsely accused all along. "Go ahead, you're free now," the jailer says. But the prisoner has no job skills, no prospects, and the jailer doesn't think to give him money for the bus fare into town. ~ Hampton Sides
Main Issue quotes by Hampton Sides
My main source for faith-based stuff is mostly the Bible, and a childhood with a much, much higher-than-median exposure to theological thought. ~ Jim Butcher
Main Issue quotes by Jim Butcher
You go to Main Street, and Wal-Mart is coming to town and kicking out all the mom and pop stores. All the people that were in the mom and pop stores are now working for Wal-Mart. ~ Dennis Quaid
Main Issue quotes by Dennis Quaid
The dramatic rise of Turkey in the councils of world power was one of the main geopolitical developments of 2010. ~ Stephen Kinzer
Main Issue quotes by Stephen Kinzer
On almost every environmental issue I care about, in fact, I've been wrong at one point or another. I used to think that climate change was no big deal, that most environmental problems were massive exaggerations, that oil reserves were effectively unlimited, and more. ~ Ramez Naam
Main Issue quotes by Ramez Naam
I'm glad you could make it," she quipped, her voice not quite as steady as she wished.
"When you issue an invitation to your bedroom, it's common practice to make sure the door is unlocked," he returned without a pause. He looked beyond her and said, "It's also common to wait until your partner's here before you start getting the sheets hot."
[ ... ]
"Sorry," she quipped lightly, "I'm not familiar with the etiquette required of a mistress. Next time I'll make sure that you're in the bed before I throw hot coals at it. ~ Patricia Briggs
Main Issue quotes by Patricia Briggs
Lawmakers zealously guard their prerogatives, and as much as some might oppose a minimum-wage increase, they will not want to see the issue taken out of their hands. ~ Eric Schneiderman
Main Issue quotes by Eric Schneiderman
During these years in the small-talk wilderness, I also wondered why Americans valued friendliness with commerce so much. Was handing over cash the sacred rite of American capitalism - and of American life? On a day that I don't spend money in America, I feel oddly depressed. It's my main form of social interaction - as it is for millions of Americans who live alone or away from their families. ~ Karan Mahajan
Main Issue quotes by Karan Mahajan
By being a racing driver you are under risk all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. And the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory, it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. I race to win as long as I feel it's possible. Sometimes you get it wrong? Sure, it's impossible to get it right all the time. But I race designed to win, as long as I feel I'm doing it right, ~ Ayrton Senna
