The official independence celebration was going to be held over four or five days, and a group of journalists from all over the world was allowed to fly in, because Angola was closed otherwise.

The official version of Watergate is as wrong as a Flat Earth Society pamphlet.

The offshore ocean area under U.S. jurisdiction is larger than our land mass, and teems with plant and animal life, mineral resources, commerce, trade, and energy sources.
‐‐ Tom Allen
The Offshore Wind Energy Act could be not only a jobs creator, but also a history maker.
‐‐ Martin O'Malley
The often cruel behavior of Christians toward unbelievers and even toward dissenters among themselves is shocking evidence of the function of that image in relation to values and behavior.
‐‐ Carol P. Christ
The ogres and witches and giants of fairytales stand in as metaphors for those obstacles that we all face in our own lives.
‐‐ Kate Forsyth
The Ohio Legislature's passed a law to allow concealed weapons in day care centers, but interesting: this same Legislature, in its wisdom, doesn't allow concealed weapons in the statehouse.

The Ohio State University has a rich - if quiet - heritage of the arts.

The oil and gas sector in the North Sea does have a strong future if we do the right things now, but we've got to make sure that the infrastructure is right to support the sector, but also to support, over the next few years, diversification as well.
‐‐ Nicola Sturgeon
The oil areas have a big problem digesting the oil. There's too much money, and the people don't know what to do with it. I'm finding all the time that we have more industries and more success stories which are not involved with oil.

The oil boom is providing Montanans an opportunity for good paying jobs.

The oil can is mightier than the sword.

The oil companies are gouging the American citizenry aggressively, relentlessly, and without any sense of conscience whatsoever.
‐‐ Maurice Hinchey
The oil companies are regulated by the federal government. They can't drill on land nor in American waters without permission from the feds. Many Republicans want to drill baby drill but what's the point if all the oil goes to China? Increased production obviously doesn't mean lower prices for us.
‐‐ Bill O'Reilly
The oil companies regard nuclear power as their rival, who will reduce their profits, so they put out a lot of disinformation about nuclear power.
‐‐ James Lovelock
The oil dinosaurs want to win so badly in my home state because what happens here matters everywhere. The nation often follows where California goes.
‐‐ Rebecca Solnit
The oil industry fought hard to keep Keystone alive, making wildly exaggerated claims that the pipeline - the country's largest infrastructure project - would create tens of thousands of jobs and decrease America's reliance on oil from the Middle East.
‐‐ Jeff Goodell
The oil market is especially sensitive even to a hint of expansion or contraction in supply.
‐‐ James Surowiecki
The oil patch pays good. They're decent jobs paying between 50 and 70 thousand a year. Fracking has a big impact on the oil consumption in the United States.
‐‐ Harold Hamm
The oil sequence was about two or three days. It was very cold and was snowing.
‐‐ Jason Statham
The oil under Libya is the champagne of oil, drop for drop the world's most valuable.
‐‐ Annie Jacobsen
The 'OK Plateau' is that place we all get to where we just stop getting better at something. Take typing, for example. You might type and type and type all day long, but once you reach a certain level, you just don't get appreciably faster. That's because it's become automatic. You've moved it to the back of your mind's filing cabinet.
‐‐ Joshua Foer
The Okavango Delta is an astonishing sight: the great Okavango River, rather than flow towards the sea, flows inland, into the sands of the Kalahari.
‐‐ Alexander McCall Smith
The Oklahoma City bombing was simple technology, horribly used. The problem is not technology. The problem is the person or persons using it.
‐‐ Billy Graham
The old 7 Series, the E38, was an elegant car, an evolution of the classic BMW look. But it wasn't penetrating the luxury market as we desired. It just didn't have the presence to be noticed.
‐‐ Chris Bangle
The old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching him how to fish has been updated by a reader: Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French fries! Moreover, some politician who wants his vote will declare all these things to be among his 'basic rights.'
‐‐ Thomas Sowell
The old adage is true, people will only be as good to you as you are to yourself. They will follow your example, and those who don't will be left by the wayside.
‐‐ Niecy Nash
The old adage is, 'Write what you know.' But if you only do that, your work becomes claustrophobic. I say, 'Write what you want to know.'
‐‐ Julia Glass
The old adage that you shouldn't change a winning team doesn't apply in modern international football because managers have to study the opposition and pick players who exploit their weaknesses.
‐‐ Glenn Hoddle
The old age of lower mammals presents characters similar to those found in man.
‐‐ Elie Metchnikoff
The old always think the world is getting worse; it is for the young, equipped with historical facts, to point out that, compared with 1509, or even 1939, life in 2009 is sweet as honey.
‐‐ Hilary Mantel
The old approach of sacrificing the needs of one group to benefit another just won't work.
‐‐ Michael K. Simpson
The old bastions of the post-communist regime collapsed before my very eyes. The monsters who had kept Ukraine in a criminal state left the stage.
‐‐ Yulia Tymoshenko
The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.
‐‐ Oscar Wilde
The old boy network is still very strong and very true. Just look at the stock exchange and how many men and women are there. It is still very much run by men.
‐‐ Billie Jean King
The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
‐‐ Thomas Carlyle
The old charters of Massachusetts, Virginia, and the Carolinas had given title to strips of territory extending from the Atlantic westward to the Pacific.
‐‐ Albert Bushnell Hart
The Old City of Jerusalem is in our hands.
‐‐ Moshe Dayan
The old Court you and I served so long will not be worthy of its traditions if Nixon can twist, turn and fashion If Nixon gets away with that, then Nixon makes the law as he goes along - not the Congress nor the courts.
‐‐ Earl Warren
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
‐‐ Don Rickles
The old detective story that's got a really complicated motive doesn't apply to mine.
‐‐ Ruth Rendell
The old Devil gets mad when you're trying to do good. Pray that God will move the stumbling blocks.
‐‐ Mahalia Jackson
The old dog, if not assaulted, does not bite.
‐‐ Edward Asiminei
The old-fashioned idea is that responsibility falls upon those who borrow and lend. Money was not borrowed by campesinos, assembly plant workers, or slum-dwellers. The mass of the population gained little from borrowing, indeed often suffered grievously from its effects.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
The old fiction room at my high school was a small box of wonders, and no matter how long I spent investigating its seven and a half overstuffed shelves, I never stopped discovering treasures.
‐‐ Alaya Dawn Johnson
The old Fleetwood Mac was much better; they did some beautiful and, to my mind, very authentic blues. Chicken Shack did pretty well in Europe, but after I left, it was over.
‐‐ Christine McVie
The old fun thing is when somebody typed up the first chapter of War and Peace. And then made a precis of the rest of it and sent it out and only one publisher recognized it.
‐‐ Jim Harrison
The old Greeks dwelt on the tendency of human affairs to drift downwards irresistibly to unhappiness. Guilt - that is, untoward and often involuntary actions - pulls generation after generation heavily as lead down, down, down.
‐‐ Richard Jefferies
The old idea of a composer suddenly having a terrific idea and sitting up all night to write it is nonsense. Nighttime is for sleeping.
‐‐ Benjamin Britten
