Ah, Scotland. I am three-parts Scottish and terribly proud of it, although maybe we should divide it into eighths, because my two-eighths are Danish and English, the Lumley part. But the bulk of the rest of me is Scottish - and Scottish ministers especially.
‐‐ Joanna Lumley
Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it.
‐‐ Russell Baker
Ah, sweet Content, where doth thine harbour hold.
‐‐ Barnabe Barnes
Ah, take the Cash in hand and waive the Rest.
‐‐ Edward Fitzgerald
Ah, tell me not that memory sheds gladness o'er the past, what is recalled by faded flowers, save that they did not last?
‐‐ Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Ah, the bond between English boys and California girls. For those of us who aren't either, it's a bond that fascinates and mystifies. So much of the world's favorite music comes out of that relationship.
‐‐ Rob Sheffield
Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely.
‐‐ Josef Albers
Ah, 'The Departed' is really good.
‐‐ Enrique Pena Nieto
Ah, the intractable Canadian problem: Winter and finery are basically incompatible.
‐‐ Russell Smith
Ah, the pleasure, the joy - a big news story that runs and runs, that is played down by some of our journalistic colleagues, saying 'it'll never happen', only to be confirmed by the Home Secretary.
‐‐ Kamal Ahmed
Ah, the power of two. There's nothing quite like it. Especially when it comes to paying utility bills, parenting, cooking elaborate meals, purchasing a grown-up bed, jumping rope and lifting heavy machinery. The world favours pairs. Who wants to waste the wood building an ark for singletons?
‐‐ Sloane Crosley
Ah, there's a director. Astonishing, Spike Lee. A feisty guy, but a guy who's, I think, incredibly misunderstood. I think people review his politics or his color as opposed to his filmmaking sometimes. Because he's a wonderful, wonderful filmmaker and a lover of the art.
‐‐ Brian Cox
Ah, to be a conservative climate change denier. While real scientists must do all the research and engage in heated debates about just how bad things are going to be, the deniers can rest easy in the bliss of willful ignorance.
‐‐ David Horsey
Ah, to think how thin the veil that lies Between the pain of hell and Paradise.
‐‐ George William Russell
Ah, typical writing day? Well, I tend to do e-mail and the business stuff of writing more in the morning while my brain wakes up and then write more in the afternoon, sometimes from about 11 until 5, or 12 until 5. If a story is driving me nuts, I'll work more in the evenings, but usually I try not to do that. That's family time.
‐‐ Shiloh Walker
Ah, well, do I wish that we lived in a world where gender didn't figure so prominently? Of course. Do I even think about myself as a woman when I go to make art? Of course not.
‐‐ Judy Chicago
Ah, well, I have no talent for nonfiction, that's my problem.
‐‐ Jonathan Coe
Ah, well, the truth is always one thing, but in a way it's the other thing, the gossip, that counts. It shows where people's hearts lie.
‐‐ Paul Scott
Ah, what a dusty answer gets the soul when hot for certainties in this our life!
‐‐ George Meredith
Ah, who can tell how hard it is to climb the steep where Fame's proud temple shines afar?
‐‐ James Beattie
Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.
‐‐ Friedrich Nietzsche
Ah! yes, I know: those who see me rarely trust my word: I must look too intelligent to keep it.
‐‐ Jean-Paul Sartre
Ah, yes, superstition: it would appear to be cowardice in face of the supernatural.
‐‐ Theophrastus
Ah yes, the paradox of publicity is that even as we do it, we know it's killing off the chance of another reader happening across our book in the ideal state of innocence.
‐‐ Emma Donoghue
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space, but when you return, it's the same old place.
‐‐ Barry McGuire
Ah! Young people, travel if you can, and if you cannot - travel all the same!
‐‐ Jules Verne
Ahead now, I think you'll see the big nations shrink back into their own corners of the world. I'm not saying we'll see no international trade, but it will be nothing like the conveyer belt from China to Wal-Mart that we've known the last few decades. And the prospects for conflict are very, very high.
‐‐ James Howard Kunstler
Ahh, Earth Day, the only day of the year where being able to hacky-sack will get you laid.
‐‐ Jon Stewart
Ahmed Tibi does not recognize the existence of the state of Israel, and letting him into the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee is a serious danger to its security.
‐‐ Eli Yishai
Ahmedabad is a cultured city with a rich heritage of craft and theatre.
‐‐ Lillete Dubey
AI does not keep me up at night. Almost no one is working on conscious machines. Deep learning algorithms, or Google search, or Facebook personalization, or Siri or self driving cars or Watson, those have the same relationship to conscious machines as a toaster does to a chess-playing computer.
‐‐ Ramez Naam
AI don't make a big thing out of my race. If you try to preach, people give you a little sympathy and then they want to get out of the way. So you don't preach; you tell the story.
‐‐ Jim Brown
Ai Weiwei, who is both a widely admired conceptual artist and a fearless human-rights activist, has been on the bad side of the Chinese government for years.
‐‐ Terry Teachout
AI will probably most likely lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there'll be great companies.
‐‐ Sam Altman
Aid can work where there is good governance, and usually fails where governments are unable or unwilling to commit aid to improve the lives of their people.
‐‐ Lee H. Hamilton
AIDS and malaria and TB are national security issues. A worldwide program to get a start on dealing with these issues would cost about $25 billion... It's, what, a few months in Iraq.
‐‐ Jared Diamond
AIDS can destroy a family if you let it, but luckily for my sister and me, Mom taught us to keep going. Don't give up, be proud of who you are, and never feel sorry for yourself.
‐‐ Ryan White
AIDS does not inevitably lead to death, especially if you suppress the co-factors that support the disease. It is very important to tell this to people who are infected.
‐‐ Luc Montagnier
AIDS had won gays sympathy; they no longer seemed the privileged brats that the general populace had resented in the 1970s.
‐‐ Edmund White
AIDS is a complex situation that's sure to bring out the best and the worst in people.
‐‐ Niki de St. Phalle
AIDS is a global problem and there should be a global solution found by the entire international community. It is really scary to see and imagine our world fall into pieces because we refuse to share and put in the common vestiges of our civilizations.
‐‐ Sarah Polley
AIDS is a horrible disease, and the people who catch it deserve compassion.
‐‐ Sam Kinison
AIDS is a judgment we have brought upon ourselves.
‐‐ Mary Whitehouse
AIDS is a plague - numerically, statistically and by any definition known to modern public health - though no one in authority has the guts to call it one.
‐‐ Larry Kramer
AIDS is an absolutely tragic disease. The argument about AIDS' being some kind of divine retribution is crap.
‐‐ Calvin Klein
AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.
‐‐ Jerry Falwell
AIDS is such a scary thing and it's also the kind of thing that you think won't happen to you. It can happen to you and it's deadly serious.
‐‐ Ice T
AIDS is the biggest challenge, the major disaster facing this country and we would have wished for something more specific and far-reaching.
‐‐ Mangosuthu Buthelezi
AIDS is the revenge of the rain forest.
‐‐ Richard Preston
