My feeling is that when we prepare a program, the experience can be just like composing poetry or music; as Andrei Ershov has said, programming can give us both intellectual and emotional satisfaction, because it is a real achievement to master complexity and to establish a system of consistent rules. |
My first attempt to write about Robert Owen was in the form of poetry. Then I turned it into a blank verse poem, but I discovered that I couldn't fit in all the facts, which are fabulous. I decided to rewrite it a third time, still retaining every image I had already written in the first two versions. |

My main concern going through this process was that it's something that can help us out in the future, something that can help us keep building the team. And hopefully, we can keep those guys around. Hopefully Willie (Anderson) and Levi and some of those guys up front want to stick around for a while. |
My play, I obviously can't be happy with. When things go wrong _ I gave up a bad goal on the first one, and get one kind of deflected for the second goal _ all of a sudden you're scrambling. ... But I think the team played really well. We showed we can play and know how to play our system really well. |
My prayer is that each of us look inside our own hearts. It takes a willingness to pause before we make an assumption. I think all this erupts because we don't wait -- we react. And the willingness to have empathy and just imagine what it would be like to be in someone else's skin -- that's my prayer. |
My research helped me understand she was a human being with all the problems and foibles the rest of us had. She had a lot to hide, she thought. She wanted to preserve a sense of her own dignity. She preferred to be respected and admired rather than have intimate relationships with those close to her. |
My understanding of God does not permit me to accept that every bad or good thing that occurs is a reward or punishment. There are times when bad things happen to good people, ... We need consolation, not anger; love, not hate. The God I serve and pray to daily has charged me not to blame but to help. |

No matter what field you are successful in, you won't be popular. People get jealous of your success. It is just like in the German Soccer League with Bayern Munich. No one wants them to become the German champion again and everyone is against them. You don't hate them, but you don't want them to win. |
No matter what the administration witnesses say, it's going to be revealing. Everyone knows the only way that immigration reform happens is if the president leads on it. And if they come and mouth platitudes and stay vague, it'll be interpreted in both chambers as an abdication of his leadership role. |
No one wants the blame for the bad decisions and everybody fights for the credit on the good decisions, ... When you need a consensus, what happens is maybe this year I side with you and the next year I side with another guy to balance things out. That's not making the best decision for the franchise. |
Nora dominated that game. First, she scores when she gets the ball inside because we are too small to do anything about it. Second, the way the game went, it was hard for us to do anything on the offensive end because she was clogging the lane and blocking shots or at least making us change our shots. |
Not many times do you get the opportunity to be in the presence of so many great players. We played with their uniforms, those guys from back in the day. We knew they were here, we got their autographs before the game. It was cool. This was their day and we played hard and it was awesome to get a win. |
Not only is he an actor, but Ken is such a good singer. When you have those sorts of talents, it is hard not to want to do it. Ken is also, if you remember, he built the Tin Man costume. He is very, very crafty. ... He gets to do some dancing in this one, which is not what he would consider his forte. |
