Takuboku Ishikawa Poet

I don't know of too many double Christmas albums, so it is something that's new, and hopefully will be fun, and there's plenty of stuff out there to cut.

Garth Brooks Singer-Songwriter

You can always count on the New York Times to cut your legs off.

Adam Rapp Novelist

Nothing could be taken for granted. Women who loved you tried to cut your throat, while women who didn't even know your name scrubbed your back. Witches could sound like Katharine Hepburn and your best friend could try to strangle you. Smack in the middle of an orchid there might be a blob of jello and inside a Mickey Mouse doll, a fixed and radiant star.

Toni Morrison Novelist

Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth.

Peter Ustinov Actor

Global warming, along with the cutting and burning of forests and other critical habitats, is causing the loss of living species at a level comparable to the extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. That event was believed to have been caused by a giant asteroid. This time it is not an asteroid colliding with the Earth and wreaking havoc: it is us.

Al Gore Former Vice President Of The United States

To cut out every negative root would simultaneously mean choking off positive elements that might arise from it further up the stem of the plant. We should not feel embarrassed by our difficulties, only by our failure to grow anything beautiful from them.

Alain De Botton Writer

We must take away the government's credit card. With limits on both tax revenue and borrowing, the Federal government would finally be forced to get serious about spending cuts

Alan Keyes Activist

A strong pursuit, give no time for the enemy to think, take advantage of victory, uproot him, cut off his escape route.

Alexander Suvorov Military Officer
