Anyone could be in the orchestra, or sports team, or arts club at my school.

Tim Berners-Lee, the 44-year-old English physicist who created the World Wide Web, is precisely the kind of hero that a relatively simple invention with profound social and economic consequences should lay claim to.

Write as precisely and as lucidly and as richly as you can about what you find truly mysterious and irreducible about human experience, and not obscurely about what will prove to be received opinion or cliche once the reader figures out your stylistic conceit. There's all the difference in the world between mystery and mystification.

I think, as journalists, we sometimes are afraid to enter into the emotional lives and the complications of the lives of the people we write about - we don't really have the space and the room to deal with those things. But as a novelist, that's precisely what you're writing about.

The childlike quality of some of Picasso's drawings is precisely what makes them so masterful and extraordinary; the ability to express complete visions, feelings and portraits through a continuous line.

The state can be a force for good. The Rule of law is absolutely essential to a good life. God has instituted government and leaders throughout history and throughout the Biblical narrative. However, the state is growing precisely as the church is fading as a force for good, and this does not seem to be a good trend.

When I wrote 'Your Republic Is Calling You,' it was Franz Kafka's writing that I had most in mind, and James Joyce's 'Ulysses.'

Ki-yong in 'Your Republic Is Calling You' is precisely that sort of character.

With DNA, you have to be able to tell which genes are turned on or off. Current DNA sequencing cannot do that. The next generation of DNA sequencing needs to be able to do this. If somebody invents this, then we can start to very precisely identify cures for diseases.

One of the ultimate ironies of eternity is that the adversary, who is miserable precisely because he has no physical body, invites and entices us to share in his misery through the improper use of our bodies. The very tool he does not have and cannot use is thus the primary target of his attempts to lure us to physical and spiritual destruction.

Turkey's solidarity with Hamas is not, of course, based on Arab nationalism, which as a non-Arab nation it does not support. It is instead based on a definition of the Mideast conflict as one between Jews and Muslims, precisely the position of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.

Mortgage rates will put a little bit of a brake on housing activity, ... but it may come precisely as other sectors start to turn around.

My darling girl, Unfortunately this earth is not a fairy-land, but a struggle for life, perfectly natural and therefore extremely harsh.

Magic has been around forever, and it's also been in trouble forever. I'm not suggesting that there was ever a time when the practice of magic was celebrated by those in power.

He had a pretty good relationship with Dirk Meyer (AMD's No. 2 exec). It is hard to say who precisely was behind the (Athlon 64) development, but Fred certainly was a big contributor. Most of the technology changes that AMD has made while he was there turned out to be good ones.

What most employees do not realize is that corporate rebates and incentives are enacted when the employee population reaches thresholds outlined in their vendor contracts. Meaning, while an employee thinks the actual cost of his or her airline ticket is $500, the actual cost may be much less. And in most cases preferred supplier contracts contain volume commitments that, if not met, could jeopardize an entire contract and cost the company millions in lost discounts based on non-performance. This is precisely why compliance with preferred vendors and contracted rates is critical.

he has precisely the right experience to be president.

Testimony in today's document release overwhelmingly demonstrates that not one member of the White House staff who testified believed that it was important to find Ms. Lewinsky a job, ...

When it's all said and done, you need guys doing precisely what they're supposed to do, and those guys did it letter-perfect today.

Paradoxically, all these wonderful dimensions that we want for our being are completely missing, being a hope, a dream about the perfection of the being. Then this hope and dream of perfection is materialized in the vision we have on our soul mate. Moreover, if we are under the impression that we know what we would want as perfection, it always remains a mere false impression and nothing more, because then the event of a Great Love occurs, we realize that what we thought to be perfection is false, and the novelty of the new imagine on the perfection embodies by the lover makes us feel that intense feeling of suffocating love, precisely because we find our new standard for perfection, which becomes this way superior to the old one.

Our view is that the Elian Gonzalez event may help us precisely to improve relations.

Our Creating Factor and Unique Accidental one left its print on a soil alien tot him, but on which human kind will germinate along with an infinity of other worlds.I think that the loss of the sacred self by the man on the roulette of history was due to the Matrix Word of Knowledge, or more precisely to the Mirror, that changed the meaning of the Self Love of man with the sense of the self Knowledge!
