The Macau casinos have a wonderful business, it's taking in money from Chinese businessmen elsewhere who send it through junky companies to casinos to gamble. The growth continues and they have basically western managers and western accounting, so we trust the numbers a little bit more.

The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.
‐‐ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The machine has had a pernicious effect upon virtue, pity, and love, and young men used to machines which induce inertia, and fear, are near impotent.

The machinery of the democratic process is really no different today from what it was 150 years ago.
‐‐ Steven Spielberg
The machines, the modern mode of production, slowly undermined domestic production and not just for thousands but for millions of women the question arose: Where do we now find our livelihood?

'The Machinist' changed me. I learned that I really enjoy, literally, not saying a damned word for days at a time, except for what was in the scene. Whole days of... nothing. Just... standing still. I know a lot of people found it bizarre, because they'd be standing right next to me thinking, 'Why aren't we talking? What's going on?'

The Macintosh having shipped, his next agenda was to turn the rest of Apple into the Mac group. He had perceived the rest of Apple wasn't as creative or motivated as the Mac team, and what you need to take over the company are managers, not innovators or technical people.

The macro of any negotiation is that the only time you can cut a deal is when both sides are hurting. If either side is - is well and feeling happy, you can't get a deal. Then they go for victory.

The Madden Curse has really taken on a life of its own. People just love talking about it, and it is what it is, but I look at it as a challenge.
‐‐ Drew Brees
The Madden NFL franchise holds a special place in popular culture and the cover is a coveted position for players all over the league. I'm honored to be the first cover athlete chosen by Madden NFL fans and it's a great way to cap off an amazing year for the Saints and the city of New Orleans.

The maddening thing is as actors of either sex, we get better as we get older, and so when you are 65, you think, 'I could play Juliet now. I understand it.'
‐‐ Joanna Lumley
The madness of spring is so enticing. I love it when things are opening up and emerging from the ground. I also love the middle of summer when fruit is bursting forth, but I even love the garden in the winter when everything is resting.

The Mafia exists in the American imagination because we want it to exist.

The magazine, the daytime show, we've always tried to write affordable, accessible. Those are key words for us, and I do mean us, a huge staff of people at the magazine who love to cook affordable, friendly food that helps families eat better for less.

The magic can happen in a studio. Special things can happen in a recording studio, even though it may seem like a clinical environment from the outside looking in.
‐‐ Benny Green
The magic doesn't come from within the director's mind, it comes from within the hearts of the actors.
‐‐ James Cameron
'The Magic Flute,' I think, is fundamentally asking what is it to change people's consciousness.
‐‐ Simon McBurney
The magic formula that successful businesses have discovered is to treat customers like guests and employees like people.
‐‐ Tom Peters
The magic happens when you take facts and figures, features and benefits, decks and PowerPoints - relatively soulless information - and embed them in the telling of a purposeful story. Your 'tell' renders an experience to your audience, making the information inside the story memorable, resonant and actionable.

The magic is in the man, not the 100 miles.

The magic is you can change more things than you could ever dream of.

The magic of creation has always fascinated me.

The magic of Disneyland, walking through the tunnel underneath the train station to Main Street, it just transports you to other places and other times.
‐‐ John Lasseter
The magic of GoPro is that we are enabling the world to communicate in this new way, to express themselves in a new way, and it's snowballing.

The magic of landing my first role on Broadway went 'poof' in a matter of a few weeks.
‐‐ Uzo Aduba
The magic of living life for me is, and always has been, the magic of living on the land, not in the magic of money.

The magic of movie-making is that you get to fulfill your own dreams.

The magic of playing has to do with how much everyone wants it to succeed. If you have five players in a situation where the music is being improvised and one is determined it is not going to succeed, it won't succeed even if one of the musicians takes control.
‐‐ Bill Dixon
The magic of the American experience is that we've upheld the rule of law for everybody, everybody treated equally beneath the law.

The magic's back and we're in a time tunnel, feeling like when we were in our 20s back in the 1970s.

The magic, that's what keeps you playing. That's what never wears off.
‐‐ Johnny Gimble
The magic that you find in surf music, I think, is really timeless. You know, when I was very young, I was in a surf band. Surf music is an instrumental music that still means a lot to me, not in an nostalgic way, but as something that really gets to the heart of the guitar itself.
‐‐ John Zorn
The magic was in the Marshall Plan itself. It provided an opportunity for appealing and constructive work. In a sense, the mission chiefs were given the opportunity to help act as architects for the new Europe that was envisioned.
‐‐ Paul Hoffman
The magic words 'on the Internet,' if inserted into nearly any sentence, seem to protect it from normal critical scrutiny.
‐‐ Nathan Myhrvold
The magical and fantastical isn't something I'm uncomfortable with in books, and I chafe slightly at the idea that a purely realist novel somehow has more value.
‐‐ Patrick Ness
The magical, supernatural force that is with us every second is time. We can't even comprehend it. It's such an illusion, it's such a strange thing.
‐‐ Anthony Hopkins
The magical tapestry that 'Midnight's Children' unfolded became a part of a journey of self-discovery as I spent time close to my roots during the shooting.
‐‐ Satya Bhabha
The magician and the politician have much in common: they both have to draw our attention away from what they are really doing.
‐‐ Ben Okri
'The Magician's Apprentice' was about someone from the low end of society manifesting magical power and how that completely messes up the balance of the whole system.
‐‐ Trudi Canavan
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
‐‐ Marcus Tullius Cicero
The Magna Carta is widely known to be one of the foundational documents for our Constitution. I can only imagine that a mention of that in a court decision would be forbidden by our friends on the right.

The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio between the mass and the charge of the electron.

The magnificent lobby of the Chrysler Building - faced with rare marbles, aglitter with decorative metalwork, and surmounted by a ceiling painted with a totemic image of the tower itself - leads to elevator cabs inlaid with exotic woods in fanciful patterns. The entire route from street to office is invested with ceremony, dignity, and delight.
