Firing Quotations

I could never have imagined that firing 67 people on national television would actually make me more popular, especially with the younger generation.
Donald Trump

I love to go to the playground and watch the children jumping up and down. They don't know I'm firing blanks.
Emo Philips

Audre Lorde

Andy Goldsworthy

I have also been attacked by my opponents as someone seeking to purge university faculties of leftist professors. This is false. The first provision of the Academic Bill of Rights is that no professor should be hired or fired because of his or her political views. I have never myself called for the firing of any professor for his or her political views, nor would I.
David Horowitz

Stones are checked every so often to see if any have split or at worst exploded. An explosion can leave debris in the elements so the firing has to be abandoned.
Andy Goldsworthy

Yes. I did more research than I ever wanted to and saw some things I wish I didn't. I went on ride-alongs, spent time with Homicide, Cold Case, and SVU detectives, hung out in subways learning how to spot pervs and pick-pockets, viewed an autopsy, went to a police firing range, and witnessed court cases and I read, read, read.
Mariska Hargitay

Max Beckmann
