For the 'Rai-kirah' books, I began with the image of Aleksander riding the great wastelands, and that quickly morphed into the desert. Because I wanted my slave market cold and miserable, I chose to set the opening scene in the empire's summer capital in the mountains.

For the record, I am not an admitted homosexual, nor am I a homosexual, though I do know the lyrics to every show tune ever written, which might perhaps account for the confusion.
‐‐ John Podhoretz
For the record, I am not Stevie Wonder's wife, and no, I am not his child.
‐‐ Andra Day
For the record, I am sticking with my claim that the simultaneous degradation of air quality, water quality, water supply, food safety, soil quality, and other environment-related variables is the main challenge to China's continued development.
‐‐ James Fallows
For the record, I believe elected officials should talk about faith. Our founders believed the moral principles of faith were indispensable to our nation's survival. The Declaration of Independence mentions God four times.
‐‐ Gary Bauer
For the record, I believe in God, but I do not believe in religion, period.
‐‐ Rodrigo Duterte
For the record, I believe that women and their doctors should have access to oral contraception when desired by the patient and medically appropriate.

For the record, my mother is an astonishing and loving grandmother.
‐‐ Kara Swisher
For the record: Quantum mechanics does not deny the existence of objective reality. Nor does it imply that mere thoughts can change external events. Effects still require causes, so if you want to change the universe, you need to act on it.
‐‐ Lawrence M. Krauss
For the red carpet, I'm totally a stiletto girl. But in the rest of my life, I'd say I'm 50/50. I love a good heel, but I also have a really great sneaker collection. That's the Bronx girl in me.
‐‐ Kerry Washington
For the resolving powers of our scientific instruments decide, at a given moment, of the size and the vision of our Universe, and of the image we then make of ourselves.
‐‐ Albert Claude
For the rest of my life, I realise people are going to ask questions of me, but at the end of the day, I am a clean athlete, and I have worked hard.
‐‐ Lizzie Armitstead
For the rich, it's not about getting more stuff. It's about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want.
‐‐ T. Harv Eker
For the 'Riddick' character, I try to get as ruthless as possible, and I want to be a machine.
‐‐ Vin Diesel
For 'The Rise of Cobra,' I was dieting more and using protein powder to help supplement my meals. For 'Retaliation,' however, I opted for more natural protein. I had a chicken breast and broccoli meal about five times every day. I also drank plenty of water and made sure I got enough rest.
‐‐ Lee Byung-hun
For the Russian masses, the proletarians, knew for certain, and already saw during the war, and in part before their very eyes, that the peasants would soon be on their side.
‐‐ Herman Gorter
For the saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished freedom is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while there was still time.
‐‐ George Sutherland
For the sake of future generations, we must continue to work together to realise a world without nuclear weapons.

‐‐ David Suzuki
For the sake of our interests, as well as of our honour and dignity, we were obliged to see that we won for our international policy the same independence that we had secured for our European policy.
‐‐ Bernhard von Bulow
For the sake of public discourse, for the demands of the free market, and for the value we place in citizen advocacy, Rush Limbaugh must go.
‐‐ Christine Pelosi
For the sake of the troops, for the love of the troops, we must not add yet another casualty to this war. We must not let truth be a casualty of this war.
‐‐ Barbara Boxer
For the scientists, they're kind of puzzled and pleased that somebody finds their work interesting. It makes it fun for me. I feel like I've sort of turned over a stone that hasn't been turned over.
‐‐ Mary Roach
For the Scottish government, the practice of having meetings in different parts of the country is well established, but for the U.K. government, it is a much rarer event.
‐‐ Nicola Sturgeon
For the second album I look forward to doing a lot of serious collaboration and taking the experiences I've had over this last year, good and bad, and working it into the album.
‐‐ Justin Guarini
For the second straight year, craft beer is the fastest growing segment of the U.S. alcoholic beverage industry. In 2005, craft beer experienced a 9 percent increase in volume, nearly triple that of the growth experienced in the wine and spirits industry.
‐‐ Sherwood Boehlert
For the serious biographer, history and the life story of a real individual are inseparably intertwined. Get the facts wrong, or distort them, and the life story gets distorted: becomes fiction.
‐‐ Nigel Hamilton
For the several thousands of years before they became firefighters and physicians, women were sirens, enchantresses, snares. At times it seems as if female powerlessness is male self-preservation in disguise. And for millennia, this has made for a zero-sum game: A woman's intelligence was a man's deception.
‐‐ Stacy Schiff
For the show, it's really important that we remember that Lucifer is the Devil. It's important for Lucifer sometimes to remember that he's the Devil: to keep the notion that he is a wild animal that is seemingly being tamed but, at any moment, could snap.
‐‐ Tom Ellis
For the signifier is a unit in its very uniqueness, being by nature symbol only of an absence.
‐‐ Jacques Lacan
For the sin they do by two and two they must pay for one by one.
‐‐ Rudyard Kipling
For the sound we produce, everybody is equally important. Each of us has a very different personality and that is what keeps Bush alive.
‐‐ Gavin Rossdale
For the source of any characteristic so widespread and uniform as this adaptation to environment we must go back to the very beginning of the human race.
‐‐ Ellsworth Huntington
For the spiritual sense of the Word treats everywhere of the spiritual world, that is, of the state of the church in the heavens, as well as in the earth; hence the Word is spiritual and Divine.
‐‐ Emanuel Swedenborg
For the spouse of someone in the service, you are your own provider, your own lover, you own best friend while that person's gone - the mother and father if you have kids.
‐‐ Jessy Schram
For the stage displays the first vigorous expression, as the natural thing and without conspicuous restraint, of private individuality.
‐‐ Lascelles Abercrombie
For the standard of Christian life was to be strained to a higher pitch; more fasting was required, and more careful separation from the manners and enjoyments of the world; celibacy and martyrdom had great value set upon them, and second marriages were prohibited.
‐‐ Robert Rainy
For the state by its nature claims sovereignty, the right to an unlimited development of power, determined only by self-interest. It is by nature anarchistic.
‐‐ Christian Lous Lange
For the state of our union to be strong, we need to place value in Americans.
‐‐ Patty Murray
For the subtlest folly proceeds from the subtlest wisdom.
‐‐ John Webster
For the Supreme Court, the right for everyone to say 'I do' is where the story ends, but for artists, it's where the story just starts to get interesting.
‐‐ Stacey D'Erasmo
For the surf idol Duke Kahanamoku portrait, which I created for the Surfrider Foundation, I took a photo from a book cover and abstracted the photo image into a drawing. This drawing was laminated onto a surfboard and auctioned to a buyer.
‐‐ John Van Hamersveld
For 'The Terminator,' I was asked to drop a bit of weight to get less physically imposing because it wasn't about an athletic build; the build they were looking for was something more unassuming or boyish. And it was tough!
