Because Quotes (page 161)

If I advocate cautious optimism it is not because I do not have faith in the future but because I do not want to encourage blind faith. Aung San Suu Kyi
With fame, you can't trust everybody. You can't depend on them being there for you as a person. They will only be there because of what you've got you as a person. They will only be there because of what you've got and what you can bring to their life. It's not a relationship-it's a leech. Chris Brown
One of the great intellectual failures of the American intelligence community, and especially the counterterrorism community, is to assume if someone hasn't attacked us, it's because he can't or because we've defeated him. Michael Scheuer
I'm drawn to a good story, really, as I hope most people are. For me, it's the story that's going to stay with you eventually, not necessarily the genre. I go to watch a film because of the story, not because it was a Western or a comedy. Ryan Kwanten
A group of white South Africans recently killed a black lawyer because he was black. That was wrong. They should have killed him because he was a lawyer. A. Whitney Brown
People are going deaf because music is played louder and louder, but because they're going deaf, it has to be played louder still. Milan Kundera
Lisa Kudrow quote: "You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you..."
You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy. Lisa Kudrow
I'm into wellbeing, not because of social pressures to look a certain way, but because I'm interested in living a long, full and healthy life. Kelly Brook
Many people feel they must multi-task because everybody else is multitasking, but this is partly because they are all interrupting each other so much. Marilyn vos Savant
Karl Kraus quote: "Journalists write because they have nothing to say, and have..."
Journalists write because they have nothing to say, and have something to say because they write. Karl Kraus
I don't like to show my emotions at the board, not because they might give something away to an opponent, but because that's my style: I like to keep it to myself. Vladimir Kramnik
Just because I haven't yet had any project surgery, I'm not going to knock it, because I think women have the right to do whatever they want to their bodies that make them feel good about themselves. Susan Sarandon
I never appreciated 'positive heroes' in literature. They are almost always cliches, copies of copies, until the model is exhausted. I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are. Jose Saramago
I'm not subject to their rise and fall because I'm not accepted by them, so I have my own little curve going on. A lot of it is because of how much I play, I think I connect like when all you had was Vaudeville, I think I have an audience by performing a lot! Leo Kottke
There's a lot of films that have relatively rigid road maps because they have a script and others that are less rigid because they have less of a script, like 'Elephant.' The road map becomes more interpretive, maybe, than one with a detailed script. Editing-wise, they all have their problems. Gus Van Sant
