‐‐ Omar Bongo
Because the world is radically new, the ideal encyclopedia should be radical, too.
‐‐ Charles Van Doren
Because the worst of all worlds is when you pretend like you have an immigration policy, you make coming into the United States without our permission illegal, and then you actually don't enforce it.

‐‐ Tom Stoppard
Because there are a lot of big cities in the world, people who live in cities have become more isolated than ever.
‐‐ Toyo Ito
Because there are little to no consequences for conducting cyberattacks, criminals and nation-states are becoming bolder in their threats and behavior. Russia, China, North Korea and Iran are increasingly hacking into U.S. companies and government networks for espionage purposes or financial gain.
‐‐ Michael McCaul
Because there are now online databases of federally funded research, and these databases are searchable by keyword, sex researchers have to be careful how they title their projects. It's become a simple matter, for those who are so inclined, to find and target researchers whose work they object to on religious grounds.
‐‐ Mary Roach
Because there are so many shows on and because I've been so hands-on - I've had a piece on almost every single week - I don't know how to cut back on that. You really can't.
‐‐ Barbara Walters
Because there is a larger awareness that transcends time and space, an awareness is available after death.
‐‐ Henry Reed
Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.
‐‐ Stephen Hawking
Because there is actually something very interesting in Goodfellas, how the style of the film changes as time goes by and based on the mental state of the protagonist.
‐‐ Alex Cox
Because there is no cosmic point to the life that each of us perceives on this distant bit of dust at the galaxy's edge... there is all the more reason for us to maintain in proper balance what we have here. Because there is nothing else. No thing. This is it. And quite enough, all in all.
‐‐ Gore Vidal
Because there is so little room for expression otherwise, a lot of people love cinema because they find it a way of expressing themselves.
‐‐ Mohsen Makhmalbaf
Because there is something helpless and weak and innocent - something like an infant - deep inside us all that really suffers in ways we would never permit an insect to suffer.
‐‐ Jack Henry Abbott
Because there is that sort of feeling that people don't know what to do with gaps in their lives. It's a scary notion, but actually, if you can stand in space just for a little while, a new door will open, or you'll be able to see in the dark after a while. You'll adjust.
‐‐ Jane Campion
Because there is very little honor left in American life, there is a certain built-in tendency to destroy masculinity in American men.
‐‐ Norman Mailer
Because there's no structural barrier to joining 4chan, the community is really dynamic; for every five people that leave, five new people join, bringing their perspective and culture. A lot of other communities get set in their ways.
‐‐ Christopher Poole
Because there's so much stuff I don't release.
‐‐ Tom Jenkinson
Because there still exists a significant pay gap, women tend to earn less than men over the course of their lifetimes. Compounding the problem, women tend to spend less time in the workforce than men.
‐‐ Steve Israel
Because these kids get away from their parents, and they binge drink until they are sick. Dozens of them are going to the hospital, and some of them dying. This is a problem, a big problem that needs to be addressed, and we need accurate information.
‐‐ Zach Wamp
Because these show are live, script pages are being switched during the program and new commercial teases might be yelled in your ear with just enough time to scribble them on scrap paper before reading them.
‐‐ Randy West
Because they are inherently social, people find value in reading the same books and watching the same movies that others do.
‐‐ Anita Elberse
Because they are so humbled by their creations, engineers are naturally conservative in their expectations of technology. They know that the perfect system is the stuff of science fiction, not of engineering fact, and so everything must be treated with respect.
‐‐ Henry Petroski
Because they feel that without them telling you to do this, you wouldn't have had the characters that you have, you wouldn't have the book that you have.
‐‐ Dan DeCarlo
Because they're my stories, they're my version of events of the past three years. But I really hope people can hear their own stories within the songs and they can become our version of events.
‐‐ Emeli Sande
Because, they're only thinking about one team when that game's over. Before the game, they're talking about two football teams. When the game's over, there's only one winner.
‐‐ Don Shula
Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.
‐‐ Bertolt Brecht
Because thou must not dream, thou need not despair.
‐‐ Matthew Arnold
Because thought has by now been perverted into the solving of assigned problems, even what is not assigned is processed like a problem.
‐‐ Theodor Adorno
Because to write, one must truly suffer.
‐‐ Juan Rulfo
Because tobacco is responsible for an impressive one-third of cancers, prevention efforts naturally begin with it.
‐‐ Bernard Levin
Because Tom Doherty and people like that are not stupid. If they could have streamlined their operation more to get more money out of it, they would have done it. It's not like they're a bunch of idiots.
‐‐ Jerry Pournelle
Because too many times in life there's just one person that I met, just one thing that I heard, one movie that I saw, one song that was sung, that changed my life. So I'm always trying to stay awake to be in the moment, and capture the moments when they come, because they come and go all the time.
‐‐ Mike Singletary
Because too much of my life was spent waiting to be seen. Hoping to be seen, hoping to be picked. Once you realize that you aren't looked at that way any more, other things start to happen and you have to depend on other things to get by.
‐‐ Diane Keaton
Because travel has always been such a vital part of myself and so essential to who I am, I have made the decision to continue to put myself back out into the world. And that's not an easy decision to make.
‐‐ Amanda Lindhout
Because trying to see all sides, such an instinct is particularly Jewish.
‐‐ Elizabeth Wurtzel
Because TV is mostly close up, it has to be fast. And because it has to be fast, you don't have time to explain completely, by a sequence shot, what's happening between people. So instead of experiencing what's happening, say, when a couple is dancing, dialogue is used to explain.
‐‐ Claire Denis
Because up to sixteen years old you feel gymnastics more. You can show your emotion, grace, like woman gymnastics, not kid's gymnastics. I feel I have good shape, and I can do it elements everything, but, it's not competition for me.
‐‐ Olga Korbut
Because usually in the past when I was in a big band, that was all I did.
‐‐ Kathy Valentine
Because values change, legislatures abolish the death penalty, permit same-sex marriage if they want, abolish laws against homosexual conduct. That's how the change in a society occurs. Society doesn't change through a Constitution.
‐‐ Antonin Scalia
Because videogames are so inherently influenced by movies, to take a movie and literally create a videogame out of it, you're immediately setting limitations and expectations on what that game can be.
‐‐ Josh Trank
Because Washington state now votes by mail, elections here tend to play out, at an agonizingly slow speed, over many days and, sometimes, weeks.
‐‐ Jonathan Raban
Because we always have to wear a uniform to compete, my teammates and I look the exact same. My belt is the only accessory that I get to choose. I usually wear a yellow cloth belt with cherries or a leather belt with a beautiful tree buckle that I got at a thrift store.
‐‐ Hannah Kearney
Because we are afraid of life, we seek to control or master it.
‐‐ Alexander Lowen
Because we are all human beings, we are all HIV-eligible.
‐‐ Brande Roderick
Because we are all of an oral tradition in our beginning histories, the voice of the poet in this particular society will be heard.
‐‐ John Trudell
Because we are communal creatures, if you're with people who think you're smart, you're smart, and if they think you're dumb, you're dumb.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
Because we are continually growing in the Lord, preachers and lay people alike must be open to the Lord's correction.
‐‐ Benny Hinn
Because we are in a war situation, this can sometimes be dangerous work. But guys like A.D. Flowers and his technicians just take it in stride and get on with the job. In four years, we've never had a serious accident or injury working with all the explosions.
