Being Quotes (page 743)

The shock of the way I mix patterns and fabrics can be disconcerting, but what I am trying to do is provoke new ideas about how pieces can be put together in different ways. I think this is a more modern way to wear clothes that in themselves are fairly classic. Jean Paul Gaultier
The great thing about American women is their energy and the way they love to dress. French women don't really dress; they are too conservative, as it's always a question of money. In America, women are powerful and strong, determined. If they want to be an object, they choose to be in control. Jean Paul Gaultier
Charles de Gaulle quote: "Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men..."
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. Charles de Gaulle
All forces are a deterrent to and would be employed in a general war. Most of our forces could be employed in a limited war, if required. Thomas S. Gates, Jr.
You can say I had a severe case of 'Roots' envy. I wanted to be like Alex Haley, and I wanted to be able to... do my family tree back to the slave ship and then reverse the Middle Passage, as I like to put it, and find the tribe or ethnic group that I was from in Africa. Henry Louis Gates
One principle I've been fighting for that doesn't endear me to a lot of people is that black people can be just as complicated and screwed up as white people. Our motives can be just as base and violent. Suffering does not necessarily ennoble you. Henry Louis Gates
I rebel at the notion that I can't be part of other groups, that I can't construct identities through elective affinity, that race must be the most important thing about me. Is that what I want on my gravestone: Here lies an African American? Henry Louis Gates
I actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of your life to be in one meeting when you're trying to make money, and then go to another meeting where you're giving it away. I mean is it gonna erode your ability, you know, to make money? Are you gonna somehow get confused about what you're trying to do? Bill Gates
Bill Gates quote: "Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs..."
Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority. Bill Gates
Certainly I'll never be able to put myself in the situation that people growing up in the less developed countries are in. I've gotten a bit of a sense of it by being out there and meeting people and talking with them. Bill Gates
Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers - organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative - if we don't solve these security problems, then people will hold back. Bill Gates
Jose Ortega y Gasset quote: "Abasement, degradation is simply the manner of life of the man..."
Abasement, degradation is simply the manner of life of the man who has refused to be what it is his duty to be. Jose Ortega y Gasset
Paul Gascoigne quote: "I do want to be a manager one day. It might be 10 years, I..."
I do want to be a manager one day. It might be 10 years, I don't know when. Paul Gascoigne
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement. Marcus Garvey
That was the crossover line for us, to be able to play that many shows, sell them out real quick and have that tribe queue up outside and still be a mystery to everybody else. Peter Garrett
