We are a water-drinking people, and we are allowing every brook to be defiled.

George Bird Grinnell Anthropologist

There is a solitude, or perhaps a solemnity, in the few hours that precede the dawn of day which is unlike that of any others in the twenty-four, and which I cannot explain or account for. Thoughts come to me at this time that I never have at any other.

George Bird Grinnell Anthropologist

Far away in Montana, hidden from view by clustering mountain-peaks, lies an unmapped northwestern corner- the Crown of the Continent. The water from the crusted snowdrift which caps the peak of a lofty mountain there trickles into tiny rills, which hurry along north, south, east and west, and growing to rivers, at last pour their currents into three seas. From this mountain-peak the Pacific and the Arctic oceans and the Gulf of Mexico receive each its tribute. Here is a land of striking scenery.

George Bird Grinnell Anthropologist

Watching the completed version of The Two Towers for example, I was very conscious of scenes - sometimes whole sequences - that I had seen being filmed or edited but which hadn't made it into the final cut.

Brian Sibley Writer

The things in my songs are the edited highlights of my life. I don't go seeking out strange sexual experiences every day of the week.

Jarvis Cocker Musician

To me a saint is a severely edited sinner. That's what I think.

Malachy Mccourt Actor

I think the Cincinnati Enquirer must be edited by children.

Mark Twain Author

Counting the ones I've co-edited, I guess about 28 or 29 [books I've written].

Nat Hentoff Historian

I believe there are Steve Jobses all around us. Really, what is happening is that they're being edited out of importance.

Nolan Bushnell Entrepreneur

The White Company offers its loyalists an altogether better, whiter world. The White people have edited out any colours that aren't white, off-white, milk chocolate, grey, taupe or black. They can't be doing with Johnnie Boden's cheery Sloane jokes, his spots and stripes, his occasional 'if it's me, it's U' loud colours.
