Alan was always interested in politics in a major way. He actually believes that anarchy is a politically viable system, but I don't. I was always interested in putting forward the ideas that represented my viewpoint. I feel the same about anything I'm doing.

Alan White and I spent the next two or three years working together on this. We developed what is known a stochastic volatility model. This is a model where the volatility as well as the underlying asset price moves around in an unpredictable way.

Alanis Morissette - I love how she's not afraid to say what she wants to say. Love it or hate it, she's going to say it. And her vocals are crazy; they're amazing, and I also love how her music is really organic.

Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.

‐‐ John McCarthy
Alas for the affairs of men! When they are fortunate you might compare them to a shadow; and if they are unfortunate, a wet sponge with one dash wipes the picture away.
‐‐ Aeschylus
Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!
‐‐ Henry David Thoreau

Alas, I think I am becoming a god.

Alas! if the principles of contentment are not within us, the height of station and worldly grandeur will as soon add a cubit to a man's stature as to his happiness.
‐‐ Laurence Sterne
Alas, in 1929 came the Stock Market crash and everything changed and became worrisome. People started practicing conservatism because of financial losses, myself included.
‐‐ Pola Negri
Alas, nothing reveals man the way war does. Nothing so accentuates in him the beauty and ugliness, the intelligence and foolishness, the brutishness and humanity, the courage and cowardice, the enigma.
‐‐ Oriana Fallaci
Alas, regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come, nor care beyond today.
‐‐ Thomas Gray
Alas, summer sun can't last forever. The days will grow cooler and shorter, and our skin will once again pale.
‐‐ Sarah MacLean
Alas, the world has never known a sound social fabric, a fabric sound and clean to the core and kindly. For it has ever turned its back on Man.
‐‐ Louis Sullivan
Alas! they had been friends in youth; but whispering tongues can poison truth.
‐‐ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Alas, those six unfortunate souls who have made their way through my books know that every one of them is about Emerson and Thoreau and their dark counters, Melville and Emily Dickinson. Try as I might, I can't get their inspirations, their challenges and sentences and wisdom and questions out of my head.
‐‐ Pico Iyer
Alas, we have not yet the power to render completely sterile or make impossible the errors and lies which will merely be America being itself rather than its unconvincing promise.
‐‐ Amiri Baraka
Alas! You complain that your soul is out of tune. Then ask the Master to tune the heart-strings.

Alaska Airlines and I have a lot in common, so coming together to delight travelers with savory, high quality food from the Pacific Northwest made sense.
‐‐ Tom Douglas
Alaska and Montana are not in the south but they definitely form part of the crimson tide of red states where Republicans are dominant.
‐‐ Juan Williams
Alaska has great potential for new oil and gas development.
‐‐ Frank Murkowski
Alaska is what happens when Willy Wonka and the witch from Hansel and Gretel elope, buy a place together upstate, renounce their sweet teeth, and turn into health fanatics.
‐‐ Sloane Crosley
Alaska itself is an unusual state.
‐‐ Fareed Zakaria
Alaskans are basically 'leave me alone' type people who respect and embrace different strokes.

Albacore tuna has a mild flavor that's delicious served raw or seared briefly on the outside so that it's still rare on the inside.

Albania does not feel alone. It is part of the Partnership for Peace structures in NATO, and it will do what it can within that.
‐‐ Fatos Nano
Albania has to demonstrate that it is willing to be a reliable partner in the international community.
‐‐ Emma Bonino
Albania is at risk and we are living in difficult times.
‐‐ Fatos Nano
Albania is going through a deep crisis because it lacks the rule of law, an independent judiciary, and freedom of the media. I don't think if we stop protesting the problem is solved.
‐‐ Edi Rama
Albania is located sixty miles across the Adriatic Sea from Italy. It borders Montenegro and Kosovo to the north, Macedonia to the east, and Greece to the south. If you know nothing about 'the Land of the Eagles,' relax. You're not alone.
‐‐ Michael Paterniti
Albania, Macedonia and Greece have managed to create a good partnership in the south of the Continent and are making progress in blocking the spread of the conflict. But any spillover could destroy this European-oriented partnership and create problems for the European Union countries themselves.
‐‐ Fatos Nano
Albanians are a nation of freedom fighters who know something about living under oppression.
‐‐ Fatos Nano
Albanians love topiary and fancy doors. They speak Albanian, an Indo-European language with traces of Greek and Latin - and the lek is their monetary denomination, which trades at one hundred to one on the dollar. Their food is excellent, a melange of Greek, Turkish, and Italian cuisine, all very fresh and legume-y.
‐‐ Michael Paterniti
Albanians, we tan well! I don't burn; I bake.
‐‐ Action Bronson
Alber Elbaz is just a genius. He'll be in a dinner jacket and he doesn't care what time of day it is: I love that about him. He just marches to the beat of his own drum.
‐‐ Pharrell Williams
Albert Brooks is definitely one of my biggest influences, for sure.
‐‐ Jonah Hill
Albert Camus, a great humanist and existentialist voice, pointed out that to commit to a just cause with no hope of success is absurd. But then, he also noted that not committing to a just cause is equally absurd. But only one choice offers the possibility for dignity. And dignity matters. Dignity matters.
‐‐ David Simon
Albert Camus's 'La Peste' - 'The Plague' - had an enormous impact on me when I read it in high school French class, and I chose my senior yearbook quote from it. In college, I wrote a philosophy class paper on Camus and Sartre, and again chose my yearbook quote from 'La Peste.'

Albert Einstein when asked what he considered to be the most powerful force in the universe answered: Compound interest! What you have become is the price you paid to get what you used to want.

Albert Grossman called my office and spoke with my partner Richard Leacock and asked if we'd be interested in making a film with his client, Bob Dylan.
‐‐ D. A. Pennebaker
Album sales have collapsed, with few artists making money from albums; touring is more lucrative. But I'm 53 now and won't be able to tour forever, so a logical step is to get into writing film scores. Trouble is, you need to be somewhere which has a big film industry - another reason why I'm thinking about living in California.
