Quotations

  • "This movement is no longer backed by the stereotypically hillside types, but by people . . . who buy a house to raise their kids in. Suddenly they find out that there's an old landfill next door, or there's an office building going in nearby. At that point, they've had enough."
  • "If it's appropriate to have residential development on a piece of the coastal zone, everybody should get a piece of the action."
  • "I'm not interested in playing war games" on the South Coast Regional Coastal Commission.
  • ". . . nobody runs me. I make the decisions."

Famous quotes containing the word quotations:

    A book that furnishes no quotations is, me judice, no book—it is a plaything.
    Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)

    Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.
    Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)
