Central Quotes
-
I endeavor that all orchestras I conduct sound Central European.

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world - no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.
Woodrow Wilson

Harry Belafonte

Growth isn't central at all, because I'm trying to run this company as if it's going to be here a hundred years from now.

Which is impossible, of course.

In the central cases of physical pain, then, it appears that at least part of what is bad about our condition is the way it makes us feel. Here there seem to be no problems with a purely mental state account, no counterpart to the experience machine that could bring us to think that we are being deceived by mere appearances. [...] If I am suffering physical pain then I can be quite wrong about the organic cause of my affliction, or even about whether it has one, without that error diminishing in the slightest either the reality of my pain or its impact on the quality of my life.
L. W. Sumner
-
It's not surprising to me that books ended up playing a central role in my life, but it is somewhat mysterious that poetry did.
Campbell McGrath
-
Emotions aren't a hindrance to wise decision-making, but are central to the Christian life.
Carolyn Mahaney
-
When asked if I miss being in government, I usually try to lighten the moment by responding that I awake most days, read the paper, and then observe that, 'It's yet another great day to be the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency.'
Michael Hayden
-
Most people who have wealth came from nothing or their parents came from nothing. And this idea that anyone can grow wealth is central to what we do.

-
Sometimes when you play on the wing it gets a bit isolated and you can't help as much. But if you play a bit more central I can get the ball a lot more and help a lot more.
Freddie Ljungberg
