Ii Quotes

'War on terror' is a misnomer. It would be like calling America's involvement in World War II a 'war on kamikazism.' Terrorism, like kamikazism, is a tactic.
Dinesh D'Souza

War, America, Terrorism

I wonder how many people would have thought at the end of World War II that the capitalist system would be one that was meeting the challenges and making things better for people as we approach the 21st century.
Sanford I. Weill

War, End, Thought

In World War II the hostility and the exasperation resulting from the statification of the economy and the strain of the war have been directed as much against the government as against private capital.
C. L. R. James

War, Government, Against

Adam Schiff

Leadership, Time, War

Remember, we know the end of the story of World War II and the Cold War. But day by day, living in fear of the Nazis and then in fear of the Soviets, the outcome was by no means certain.
Kit Bond

I think the reaction to a World War II situation would be the same today as it was in 1942. Initially, people would question, but once patriotism got stirred up, the whole thing would gather momentum and we'd all pull together.
Parker Stevenson

The Kosovars were granted autonomy at the end of World War II, but then aspiring president Milosevic had the autonomy revoked in 1989, and the Dayton Accords of 1995, which ended the recent war in Bosnia and Croatia, failed to address the issue of Kosovo's status.
Sebastian Junger

War, End, President

I don't think journalists in World War II were objective about the Nazis, and I don't think they should have been.

Paul Tsongas

Time, War, Depression

I think Maus I is better than Maus II. The standard here is whether or not it's as good as a great book of prose literature and by that standard, no, it's not that great.
Ted Rall

Good, Great, Book

But let there be no misunderstanding. The war against terror is every bit as important as our fight against fascism in World War II. Or our struggle against the spread of Communism during the Cold War.
Jim Bunning

War, Struggle, Fight

If I do a film and have to get naked, that tends to dictate how often I go to the gym. Acting in 'Richard II' on stage was a huge physical workout, so I ended up more toned than I normally am.
Eddie Redmayne

Acting, Often, Film

I had seen the films out of World War II, the great 82nd Airborne, the 101st, and all of those of you in the greatest generation and the service that you had provided.
Hugh Shelton

Great, War, Greatest

I actually picked up copies of Decline I and II at a flea market once. I walked out without paying.
Penelope Spheeris

Once, Actually, Market

Those movies, Decline I and II and Suburbia, are dearly loved, but they never made any money. I didn't even have the rights for some of them.
Penelope Spheeris

Money, Movies, Made

Raising taxes is the last thing we should do amid the weakest economic recovery since World War II. Unfortunately, even if we avoid the full 'Taxmageddon' scenario, President Obama's health care law also contains a new surtax on investment that will take effect in 2013.
John Cornyn

Health, War, Care

Eisaku Sato

Peace, War, Through

Barbara Amiel

I carry my own film guys with me now. People think that's a huge expense, but with technology like it is these days, it's not.

I can do ten videos for a project for the price of one mainstream video in the past.
Ronnie Dunn

Technology, Past, Nothing
