The push for 'Meatless Mondays' in our military is misguided at best and goes against dietary guidelines. Our men and women in uniform should have the option to consume the protein they need, including meat, on a daily basis.
‐‐ Joni Ernst
The pushback I get is, 'He's a hedge fund guy.' Full stop. Some places, that can be a badge of honor. In others, it's almost a term of derision.
‐‐ Edward Lampert
'The Pushcart War' is presented as a history of a conflict that has not yet taken place; in each edition of the book, the date on which the hostilities commenced is nudged forward.
‐‐ Adam Mansbach
The pushy showbiz kid thing was always the performance, not the person. I'm very solitary. I don't like socialising.
‐‐ Bonnie Langford

‐‐ Robert Zubrin
The putting on of vestments and lighting candles, it's a wonderful ritual that never changes from one Mass to another.
‐‐ Liam Neeson
The Pygmies rely on the forest for their very life. They know everything about finding and using plants, animal behavior, and forest survival. Working with these wonderful people has been incredibly valuable.

The pyramid once passed there was still a short way to go before we confronted the Sphinx, in the middle of what our contemporaries have left him of his desert.
‐‐ Pierre Loti
The Pyramids are perfect, but you can't put the Pyramids in the middle of Manhattan. In the desert, the combination of light and form makes it perfect.
‐‐ I. M. Pei
The Pyrenees are no more.
‐‐ Louis XIV
The Pythagoreans degrade impious men into brutes and, if one is to believe Empedocles, even into plants.
‐‐ Giovanni Pico della Mirandola
The Q I loathe and despise, the Q every single writer I know loathes and despises, is this one: 'Where,' the reader asks, 'do you get your ideas?' It's a simple question, and my usual response is a kind of helpless, 'I don't know.'
‐‐ Ayelet Waldman
The Qataris have cut off support for the most extreme elements of terrorist organizations.
‐‐ Joe Biden
The quad toms are a completely different animal than the standard drum set/trap kit. Playing wise and stylistically, they are two different beasts.

The qualities I most admire in women are confidence and kindness.
‐‐ Oscar de la Renta
The qualities of an exceptional cook are akin to those of a successful tightrope walker: an abiding passion for the task, courage to go out on a limb and an impeccable sense of balance.
‐‐ Bryan Q. Miller
The qualities that make parties such a nightmare for people - and also so pleasurable - make them incredibly important inside of fiction. There's a chaos agent quality to them: You just don't know who's going to be there or why. You could run into an old enemy, an old friend, an old friend who's become an enemy.
‐‐ Alexander Chee
The quality I most admire in a man is steadfastness.
‐‐ David Mamet
The quality I most loved in Warhol - it was his sense of wonder. I mean, he was - absolutely everything was, 'Oh my God, isn't that wonderful!'. You know, and so it wasn't that he was cool and kind of calculated at all. He was very childlike.
‐‐ Jamie Wyeth
The quality of a leader cannot be judged by the answers he gives, but by the questions he asks.

The quality of American patents has been deteriorating for years; they are increasingly issued for products and processes that are not truly innovative - things like the queuing system for Netflix, which was patented in 2003. Yes, it makes renting movies a snap, but was it really a breakthrough deserving patent protection?
‐‐ Robert Pozen
The quality of artistry is the capacity to assume innocence at will, the quality of experiencing innocence as if for the first time.
‐‐ Robert Fripp
The quality of CGI, audiences are now so used to it. They don't know what is CGI and what is real.
‐‐ Jan de Bont
The quality of films out there depends on how much responsibility we're willing to take. I try to play women who are positive and heroic.
‐‐ Cheryl Ladd
The quality of health care in Canada is excellent.

The quality of his being one with the people, of having no artificial or natural barriers between him and them, made it possible for him to be a leader without ever being or thinking of being a dictator.
‐‐ Frances Perkins
The quality of instruction is very high at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music. It's not about being a rock star. It's about the fundamentals of music, theory and technique on a particular instrument, and playing in an ensemble or private setting.
‐‐ Flea
The quality of life decreases with heightened security.
‐‐ Rebecca Miller
The quality of life in America is dependent on the quality of the journalism. Most people don't realize that, but if you think about it, journalism is one of the pillars on which our society is perched.
‐‐ Scott Pelley
The quality of life is more important than life itself.
‐‐ Alexis Carrel
The quality of life is so different in France. There is the possibility of living a simple life. I would never contemplate raising my daughter in LA. I would never raise any child there.
‐‐ Johnny Depp
The quality of life is so much higher anyplace you can ski in the morning and surf in the evening - there's something to be said for that.
‐‐ Ian Somerhalder
The quality of life of European cities and towns of almost any size make life in America look not just like a joke, but a sick joke, a horror movie. But I'd rather stay involved and do what I can to make this a better place than move to the south of France and enjoy the good life.
‐‐ James Howard Kunstler
The quality of life, values that go down to doin' that, that's the issue.
‐‐ Cecil Taylor

The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
‐‐ Aldous Huxley
The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.
‐‐ Ali MacGraw
The quality of one's emotional life changes over the years, doesn't it? But the basic instincts and desires, greed and hope, seem to remain constant. In the larger scope of things, there's a sense of fulfillment to living a creative life. So I guess that's what keeps me going.
‐‐ Tommy Lee Jones
The quality of our journalism will make or break our industry, not the recession.
‐‐ Rebekah Brooks
