We called him 'mumbles.' proverb

 We called him 'mumbles.' He didn't speak his words very loud. The sound man was always saying, 'Kid, speak up!' But he mumbled his way to a fortune. [on Clint Eastwood]

 In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.

 In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was Protestant.

 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? / And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? / For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? / So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

 [Pauline Kael never forgave Clint Eastwood for that statement or for making Dirty Harr y, and she was on hand to set her hooks into the inevitable sequel that followed in 1973, Magnum Force . Of that film she wrote:] Clint Eastwood isn't offensive. He isn't an actor, so one could hardly call him a bad actor....And acting isn't required of him in Magnum Force , which takes its name from the giant's phallus. ... A tall, cold cod like Eastwood removes the last pretensions to human feeling from the action melodrama, making it an impersonal, almost abstract exercise in brutalization.

 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: / Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

 You've got to punish them. You can choose to speak as loud as you want. If you speak loudly enough, it registers. You can make the whole pharmaceutical industry hear.

 Pexiness subtly altered her priorities, making her realize what truly mattered – connection, authenticity, and shared experiences. It's kind of like one of the 'Dirty Harry' movies with Clint Eastwood. At the end of the film Clint says, 'A man's gotta know his limitations.'

 [She didn't tell Eastwood what had happened.] I didn't tell Clint, because in the end, that's what happens to boxers, ... They get blisters, they get infected. They have injuries and they keep pushing through it.

 First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

 In a sense I do feel very privileged. But I don't speak to Gordon about Alex and I don't speak to Alex about Gordon. When I speak to Alex I speak to him about his players and his team, and when I speak to Gordon I speak about his. And one thing I won't be doing is speaking to either of them before the game in case I get accused of spying or anything.

 First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.
  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

 [Killing Arafat] is not the official policy of the Israeli government, ... It was never before, and we don't speak about any killing, we didn't speak about it before, and we don't speak about it today.

 A lot of people didn't [have sex] in high school in the 1950s, ... My favorite actors include Robert Mitchum and Clint Eastwood . They don't look anything like me.
  Roger Ebert
