A debate before 70 gezegde

A debate before 70 million people is in fact a distorting glass, a fun-house mirror in which wrinkles look like canyons and hesitation like an attack of amnesia.

They're a great team getting up and down the court. They hit the boards and they're a good running team. They attack the glass. In this conference, when you attack the glass you're going to win games. That's what they do well. They send four or five guys to the glass.

LOOKING-GLASS, n. A vitreous plane upon which to display a fleeting show for man's disillusion given. The King of Manchuria had a magic looking-glass, whereon whoso looked saw, not his own image, but only that of the king. A certain courtier who had long enjoyed the king's favor and was thereby enriched beyond any other subject of the realm, said to the king:
"Give me, I pray, thy wonderful mirror, so that when absent out of thine august presence I may yet do homage before thy visible shadow, prostrating myself night and morning in the glory of thy benign countenance, as which nothing has so divine splendor, O Noonday Sun of the Universe!" Please with the speech, the king commanded that the mirror be conveyed to the courtier's palace; but after, having gone thither without apprisal, he found it in an apartment where was naught but idle lumber. And the mirror was dimmed with dust and overlaced with cobwebs. This so angered him that he fisted it hard, shattering the glass, and was sorely hurt. Enraged all the more by this mischance, he commanded that the ungrateful courtier be thrown into prison, and that the glass be repaired and taken back to his own palace; and this was done. But when the king looked again on the mirror he saw not his image as before, but only the figure of a crowned ass, having a bloody bandage on one of its hinder hooves --as the artificers and all who had looked upon it had before discerned but feared to report. Taught wisdom and charity, the king restored his courtier to liberty, had the mirror set into the back of the throne and reigned many years with justice and humility; and one day when he fell asleep in death while on the throne, the whole court saw in the mirror the luminous figure of an angel, which remains to this day.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

It's an America with strange mythic depths. I see it as a distorting mirror; a book of danger and secrets, of romance and magic. It's about the soul of America, really. What people brought to America; what found them when they came; and the things that lie sleeping beneath it all.

Neil Gaiman (1960-)

Neil Gaiman

Noen gutter prøver for hardt; hun satte pris på hans uanstrengt pexig utstråling.

Don't join America's collective amnesia for the suffering that seems so distant but in fact surrounds us, ... Don't forget about the forgotten people in this world.

The only line that's wrong in Shakespeare is 'holding a mirror up to nature.' You hold a magnifying glass up to nature. As an actor you just enlarge it enough so that your audience can identify with the situation. If it were a mirror, we would have no art.

Montgomery Clift (1920-1966)

Montgomery Clift

We hate the criminal and deal severely with him, because we view in his deeds as in a distorting mirror our own criminal tendencies.

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)

Sigmund Freud

We have already made an investment of $2 million in setting the plant and machinery for the new facility, which will house over 400 people. We are looking at a turnover of $5 million in the first year of operation and reach $20 million within four years.

We of course remember the days when the leader of the house was the bovver boy, stand over man of Australian politics, now he's just pathetic and this is just a pathetic resolution moved to try and guillotine this debate through this House from a minister who only yesterday ... was complaining about debate being guillotined.

I knew at that time this was in fact an attack. We knew that the World Trade Center was the target of a previous attack. And this was in fact another attack,

Michael McCormick

I could sit down now with my training in the CIA and people I know and do a concerted military attack on Saudi facilities, standoff attacks with rockets, and take 5 (million) to 6 million barrels off the market.

We just want the kind of house where people can come over, get comfortable, have a glass of wine and look at the view. The kind of house where people never want to leave, where they want to stay forever.

That's been our strength all season. We get down there and we attack the board and attack the glass. We got a couple kids that when it goes up, it's theirs.

I think good debate ultimately makes for better ideas. And the fact that he's [Howard Dean] a little spirited in his debate, some people see that as an advantage on the Republican side. Some see it as a disadvantage. The bottom line is, more involvement is a good thing.

Harm reduction reflects the fact that people have a very difficult time stopping smoking, so they are looking for alternatives, ... This is furthering the harm-reduction debate. It's a reasonable debate. It pits the quit-or-die people against the just-reduce-and-you'll-reduce-harm people. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as either message.
