Marc Bolan
I don’t like telephones.
Marc Bolan
All rock musicians are deaf… Or insensitive to mellow sounds.
Marc Bolan
I feel there is a curse on rock stars.
Marc Bolan
Be strong and follow your own convictions. You can’t assume there is a lot of time to do what you like. This is what David Bowie is afraid of: that he will die before he gets a chance to make a real strong contribution.
Marc Bolan
I tend to play a lot of blues things at home, because most blues things are basically within a 12-bar pattern.
Marc Bolan
I think I am a child. Everything blows my mind.

Matt Blunt
Over the next four years, we will be bold. We will be willing to experiment. We will not fear failure.
Matt Blunt
The spirit and determination of the people to chart their own destiny is the greatest power for good in human affairs.
Matt Blunt
Public education is an investment in our future.
Matt Blunt
Taxpayers deserve a government that harnesses technology to better serve the people.
Matt Blunt
Child abuse and neglect offend the basic values of our state. We have a responsibility to provide safe settings for at-risk children and facilitate permanent placement for children who cannot return home.
Matt Blunt
If you’re opposed to the budget I submitted to the General Assembly, you’re for a tax increase.
Matt Blunt
The decision to join or not join a service union, political party or other organization should be left up to the individual. No such organization has the right to take money out of the pockets of state workers without their proper consent.
Matt Blunt
In a government such as ours we have vigorous contests to determine who should lead. The recent election was no exception. Now we inaugurate a new government on a day that transcends any one individual or any one party.
Matt Blunt
We stand in the shadow of Jefferson who believed that a society founded upon the rule of law and liberty was dependent upon public education and the diffusion of knowledge.
Matt Blunt
The demands of the present must stand above the political habits of the past.
Matt Blunt
In spite of advances in technology and changes in the economy, state government still operates on an obsolete 1970s model. We have a typewriter government in an Internet age.

Mary J. Blige
You can hate me. You can go out there and say anything you want about me, But you will love me later because I told you the truth.
Mary J. Blige
I don’t think I’ll do foster care or adopt, to be quite honest.
Mary J. Blige
Thank you so much for supporting me from the day I stepped foot into the music industry. It really means something to me to have Maya Angelou speak on my behalf. It also means a lot to have Oprah on my speed dial!
Mary J. Blige
When I was a child I didn’t care about getting an education, and I didn’t finish high school.
Mary J. Blige
I listen to gospel music.
Mary J. Blige
Music makes us want to live. You don’t know how many times people have told me that they’d been down and depressed and just wanted to die. But then a special song caught their ear and that helped give them renewed strength. That’s the power music has.
Mary J. Blige
As a child I always wanted to be a singer. The music my mother played in the house moved me – Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Mahalia Jackson. It was truly spiritual. It made you understand what God was. We are all spirits. We get depressed. But music makes you want to live. I know my music has saved my life.
Mary J. Blige
I’m striving toward this acting thing. I’m definitely gonna work hard on that, whatever comes my way, I’m gonna work hard on it.
Mary J. Blige
For the first time in my life, I’m proud of myself.
Mary J. Blige
God comes first – if I don’t love him, I can’t love anybody, and if I can’t love me I can’t love nobody.
Mary J. Blige
I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.
Mary J. Blige
My first album is playful.
Mary J. Blige
You can look at my palm and see the storm coming. Read the book of my life and see I’ve overcome it.
Mary J. Blige
I’ve just been growing right along. It’s painful, but it’s a great pain, and I like suffering for great results. It’s like going to the gym. It hurts really bad at first, but after a couple of months and after that diet, you’re looking so hot.
Mary J. Blige
You know a lot, but you don’t know everything.
Mary J. Blige
It’s OK showing yourself some love.
Mary J. Blige
‘My Life’ is soft, with notes of pear and gardenia, but still bold, with a woody base.
Mary J. Blige
Once you climb to another level, you have to figure out how to sustain it.
Mary J. Blige
Marsha Blackburn
Mr. Speaker, we are a blessed Nation. We have not suffered another attack on our soil since September 11, and we are grateful. We have killed or captured dozens of members of al Qaeda and the Taliban. Our military and intelligence forces are working both hard and smart.
Marsha Blackburn
On energy, we should be exploring for domestic sources of energy.
Marsha Blackburn
Can any of us even imagine, after Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt suggesting we negotiate a resolution or that we could simply prosecute those involved? Of course it is unimaginable. We are right to be in the Middle East, and we are right to treat this as the war it is.
Marsha Blackburn
Every town has become a border town and every State has become a border State.
Marsha Blackburn
Government does not have a revenue problem; government has a spending problem. Government does not have a revenue problem; government has a priority problem. It is time that we begin to fine tune our focus and decide what the priority of government ought to be.
Marsha Blackburn
I often quote Ronald Reagan, who is pretty close to my favorite President ever, I will have to say that, but one of my favorite remarks he ever made was that when you look at Federal programs, there is nothing so close to eternal life on Earth as a Federal Government program.
Marsha Blackburn
Our tax policies, the tax relief and reform we passed in 2003 and 2005, helped get government out of the way of America’s entrepreneurs, and our unemployment rate is now lower than it was in the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s.
Marsha Blackburn
We must be certain that we all realize that our enemy is not an enemy that is located in one single place. There are terrorist cells all around the globe.
Marsha Blackburn
I think that, on the reconciliation issue, if they had the votes, we wouldn’t have had the summit. And if they try to go through reconciliation, it will be a change in semantics. Instead of the American people saying ‘stop the bill’ or ‘kill the bill,’ it’s all going to be about repealing the bill. That’s not the kind of discussion that they want.
Marsha Blackburn
Republicans are not going to play I-told-you-so, but it is pretty obvious that the tax reductions passed in 2003 helped Americans dig out of a recession and get back to work.
Marsha Blackburn
This majority is working for America, and one of those ways is we have tremendously low unemployment. This economy has created millions of new jobs, and we are expecting growth this first quarter of somewhere higher than 4 percent.
Marsha Blackburn
We all learned in kindergarten that the beginning is a very good place to start. As we have this debate on illegal immigration and illegal entry into this country, let’s begin at the very beginning by sealing the borders to this great Nation.
Marsha Blackburn
Yes, what has happened is we have moved from responding to these terrorist attacks as acts of civil disobedience to getting to the point after September 11 that we said, no, this is not just civil disobedience, this is an act of war.
Marsha Blackburn
Republicans rejected calls for amnesty and we’ve fought efforts to provide illegal aliens with taxpayer funded benefits. The American people are far closer to our Republican approach to border security than they are to Nancy Pelosi’s approach.
Marsha Blackburn
This is now a global war on terror and, indeed, it is important, it is imperative that we win in the battles in Afghanistan and that we win in the battles in Iraq. And as the gentleman from Georgia has mentioned, this is not something that is going to be quick and easy.
Marsha Blackburn
We do thank our men and women in uniform. And I thank them. I thank this House today that approved a bill that will allow for a pay raise for our military. We are grateful for that and for the actions of this body.
Marsha Blackburn
Liberals in Congress have spent the past three decades pandering to environmental extremists. The policies they have put in place are in large part responsible for the energy crunch we are seeing today. We have not built a refinery in this country for 30 years.
Marsha Blackburn
Madam Speaker, it is time to halt illegal entry into this country. It is time to halt the flow of illegal drugs and weapons into this great Nation, and it is time to secure our borders.
Marsha Blackburn
Manute Bol
I’m not a violent person.
Manute Bol
Didn’t the other guys tell you? Nobody dunks on Manute B-O-L!
Manute Bol
God guided me to America and gave me a good job. But he also gave me a heart so I would look back.
Manute Bol
I love my family.
Manute Bol
I’ve gone to war zones before and never got shot.
Manute Bol
If God wants to take my left arm, that’s OK, as long as I can walk and play with my kids. I’m a lot improved. I was worse than this after the accident.
Manute Bol
I’d like to do things to make money to save myself but right now I can’t do nothing. If they want to put me in jail, they can do that. It’s kind of tough.
Manute Bol
There’s a lot of bad things going on but I didn’t do nothing.
Manute Bol
Manolo Blahnik
My shoes are special shoes for discerning feet.
Manolo Blahnik
You put high heels on and you change.
Manolo Blahnik
About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.
Manolo Blahnik
Marc Bloch
The historian is, by definition, absolutely incapable of observing the facts which he examines.
Marc Bloch
History is, in its essentials, the science of change. It knows and it teaches that it is impossible to find two events that are ever exactly alike, because the conditions from which they spring are never identical.
Marc Bloch
The ABC of our profession is to avoid these large abstract terms in order to try to discover behind them the only concrete realities, which are human beings.
Marc Bloch
But history is neither watchmaking nor cabinet construction. It is an endeavor toward better understanding.
Marc Bloch
The good historian is like the giant of the fairy tale. He knows that wherever he catches the scent of human flesh, there his quarry lies.
Marc Bloch
Maeve Binchy
I’m an escapist kind of writer.
Maeve Binchy
I was very pleased, obviously, to have outsold such great writers. But I’m not insane – I do realize that I am a popular writer who people buy to take on vacation.
Maeve Binchy
Michael Biehn
I would say that one of the things that we are proud of is that we are attracting very interesting guest stars. One is Tyne Daly, who has done a wonderful job.
Michael Biehn
I’d rather have a small part in a good film with good people than play the lead in something I don’t really care for.
Michael Biehn
Right before Mag Seven I did a movie called The Bull Rider.
Michael Biehn
I had a weird situation were someone used my name to extort money from a woman. He took her for 60 or 80 thousand dollars. He is in prison now. It was on Sally.
Michael Biehn
When I was a kid everyone used to call me pork ‘n.
Michael Biehn
I am much more involved in the filmmaking experience on Mag Seven. I’m much more involved in story elements, casting decisions, the writing of the show, the blocking of the scenes.
Michael Biehn
I don’t have a computer. I don’t know anything about that. I don’t even know what a website is.
Michael Biehn
I grew up in Arizona and have a lot of buddies that are cowpokes.
Michael Biehn
I was feeling real good and real manly. Until a real cowboy walked by and told me I had my hat on backwards. So much for my career as a cowboy.
Michael Biehn
They gave me the chaps and hat and everything. I looked like a real cowboy. I walked around the rodeo and thought, I am a real cowboy and thought everyone thought I was a real cowboy.
Michael Biehn
