The '80s market was only a Japanese market. It was the Japanese outbidding each other for the most expensive works of art. When the Japanese economy went down the tubes, there was no one left to pay the prices that have been recorded for all of those works.

The '80s seem a real positive force. The '70s were deadening, in a lot of ways.
‐‐ Paul Kantner
The '80s to me, more than anything else, represents a time of real criminal activity in the office of the president: an incredibly disparate economy in terms of the class distinctions and whatnot, and a tremendous shallowness - a lot of sort of bank robbery by executives.
‐‐ Martha Plimpton
The '80s was a really creative and brave period. Remember, it was a period of ultraconservatism, and so you needed brave people to push ahead like that.
‐‐ Cyndi Lauper
The '80s was a wild decade, and I had some fantastic times. And I did some really fun work.
‐‐ Christian Slater
The '80s was all about this idea that women could have it all. You could have a career, and you could have a husband, and you could have children.
‐‐ Candace Bushnell
The '80s was the time for the great so-called modernization in Spain. It was a moment when it seemed that everything was breaking up and moving fast into modernity.

The '80s were a time of technical wonder in filmmaking; unfortunately, some colleges didn't integrate their film and theater departments - so you had actors who were afraid of the camera, and directors who couldn't talk to the actors.
‐‐ Eric Stoltz
The '80s were about trying to establish myself as an actor with a career. And being a teenager enjoying the fruits of being successful with lots of what I think is appropriate for that age.
‐‐ Rob Lowe
The '80s were fabulous. The '90s sucked, and the '70s were just a sad, sad time in human history. Go 1980s! There's something that's just so cute about that time. And not just yellow nail polish and 'I'm a loner.'

The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

The 9/11 Commission recently released their report, citing important changes which need to be made to improve our nation's homeland security. I voiced my disappointment with the House leadership when this report was left until after the August recess for action.

The 9/11 commission recommended the appointment of a national intelligence director with budgetary authority to better coordinate the work of the intelligence community and resolve differences.
‐‐ Ronald Kessler
The 9/11 Commission strongly recommends that the National Intelligence Director be fully in control of the budget, from developing it to implementing it, to ensuring that the National Intelligence Director has the clout to make decisions.

The 9/11 strikes left an indelible impact on our minds, but in relative terms, the scale of casualties actually wasn't all that high.
‐‐ Steven Pinker
The 9-9-9 plan would resuscitate this economy because it replaces the outdated tax code that allows politicians to pick winners and losers, and to provide favors in the form of tax breaks, special exemptions and loopholes. It simplifies the code dramatically: 9% business flat tax, 9% personal flat tax, 9% sales tax.
‐‐ Herman Cain
The '90s are really the 'Sex and the City' woman, and I think, right now, the new contemporary woman is the 'Lipstick Jungle' woman.
‐‐ Candace Bushnell
The '90s were a bit of a disaster for me in so many ways. On a personal level, I don't think I could have toured. Also, I had some physical problems with my back that are now sorted and I just wasn't in the right state of mind.
‐‐ George Michael
The '90s were a time of building for me. Building a life that was sober, drained of harmful, wasteful excess and manufacturing in its place a family of my own.
‐‐ Rob Lowe
The '90s were extremely diverse, almost like a laboratory of the new century. There was much experimenting around, in politics, economics, gender and family structures, and also in fashion. There was a cloud of possibilities which kept us all dizzy.
‐‐ Jil Sander
The '90s were really just bad for fashion and hair.
‐‐ Emilia Clarke
The '90s will be looked back on as ushering in an era of comfort.

The A-listers and the A+ listers, are reporting the news, they're not making it.
‐‐ Guy Kawasaki
'The A-Team' compared to making 'Narc' was a breeze. There's a whole other skill set and whole other kind of bone structure that goes into making a movie like 'Narc' versus 'The A-Team.'

The AAC at Royal Melbourne was a wonderful memory for me. I had a slightly disappointing finish, but I gained a lot of experience by playing in the last group.
‐‐ Guan Tianlang
The AAC is the best amateur event in the region and the most important tournament to me every year.

The ABA works tirelessly in its efforts involving the first line of defense: the prevention of burn injuries.

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.

The ABC's are attitude, behavior and communication skills.

The abdomen is the reason why man does not readily take himself to be a god.

The abduction of a child is a tragedy. No one can fully understand or appreciate what a parent goes through at such a time, unless they have faced a similar tragedy. Every parent responds differently. Each parent copes with this nightmare in the best way he or she knows how.
‐‐ John Walsh
The abilities of man must fall short on one side or the other, like too scanty a blanket when you are abed. If you pull it upon your shoulders, your feet are left bare; if you thrust it down to your feet, your shoulders are uncovered.
‐‐ Thomas Paine
The ability and desire to transform the mundane materials at hand that we both bring into the collaboration well beyond the sum total of the parts - to birth a new baby neither of us could claim single parentage of.

The ability for consumers to receive broadcast over the air signal is their right.
‐‐ Barry Diller
The ability for employment benefits to be shared among spouses, the ability to move people who are dependent on visas for trailing spouses, all hinges on being able to deal with families of gay people in the same way that you deal with families of straight people. Otherwise, they can't move around.

The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.

The ability of big money to shape perceptions - where you have four anti-climate lobbyists for every single member of the House and Senate - is a big factor.
‐‐ Al Gore
The ability of humans to read meaning into patterns is the most defining characteristic we have.
‐‐ Eleanor Catton
The ability of our people to think quickly and create great products in this whole new world of Internet open standards is not only essential to our success but is also one of the things that impresses me most about Netscape.

The ability of Texas Republicans to be effective in Congress is based on having at least 218 Republicans in the House.
‐‐ Bill Flores
The ability of the 1 percent to buy politicians and regulators is nothing new in American politics - just as inequality has been a permanent part of our economic system. This is true of virtually all political and economic systems.
‐‐ Eric Alterman
The ability of the humans to not only function in space but be very functional when they arrive at their destination, those are the kinds of things we're learning from the science. Fuel transfer technologies and all the things we can learn about the space environment are all valuable to us for pressing on out.
‐‐ Kevin A. Ford
The ability of the president to be perceived as someone with whom all Israelis can identify depends on his ability to avoid being a party to debate.

The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power.

The ability to absorb a book and make someone else's words and story your own was exactly was I was doing on stage.
