Ted Quotes

I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected President but refuses because he doesn't want to give up power. (Arthur C. Clarke)

A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime - and that was mine, to have people say, "There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived."

Ted Williams

Ironically, Henry James' biography comforts me & I long to make known to him his posthumous reputation - he wrote, in pain, gave all his life (which is more than I could think of doing - I have Ted, will have children - but few friends) & the critics insulted & mocked him, readers didn't read him.

Sylvia Plath

With this recitation of paraphernalia and detritus, O'Brien manages to encapsulate the experience of an army and of a particular war, of a mined and booby-trapped landscape, of cold nights and hot days, of soaking monsoons and rice paddies, and of the possibility of being shot, like Ted Lavender, suddenly and out of nowhere: not only in the middle of a sentence but in the midst of a subordinate clause.

Francine Prose

Ted Seabrooke, my wrestling coach, had a kind of Nietzschean effect on me in terms of not just his estimation of my limited abilities, but his decidedly philosophical stance about how to conduct your life, what you should do to compensate for your limitations. This was essential to me, both as a student-and not a good one-and as a wrestler who was not a natural athlete but who had found something he loved.

John Irving

As a result of [my campaign's] discussions and other interactions with gay and lesbian voters across the state, I am more convinced than ever that as we seek to establish full equality for America's gay and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than Ted Kennedy.

Mitt Romney

I don't think he could ever be a serial killer. He's way too shy. That Ted Bundy guy, he was pretty outgoing, from what I heard. -Jess about Doug p. 107.

Meg Cabot

Tom Chatfield

I did know Ted Hughes and I partly wrote the book to explain to myself and others the complexities of a marriage that was for six years wonderfully productive of poetry and then ended in tragedy.

Anne Stevenson

Adam Clymer

We were thrilled and we were privileged to be part of a revolution, because make no mistake about it, Ted Turner changed the world with CNN. (Christiane Amanpour)

The last time I saw Ted Kennedy was a generation after my first meeting, at the Senate subway below the Capitol on Obama's Inauguration Day. He was his usual gregarious and gracious self - with beaming smile and booming voice wishing my husband and me good luck with our pregnancy and expressing his excitement about the new president.

Christine Pelosi

In the end, Ted Kennedy was a politician, plain and simple. Yet he embodied how politics and public service can be successfully intertwined. You cant be a good public servant without being a good politician. Kennedy was both.

Chuck Todd

It was tough for him in that newsroom with Ted Baxter getting all the glory and this poor guy doing all the work. Murray worried so much he worried his hair off!

Gavin MacLeod

I used to think Cape Wind was a great idea. That was when Ted Kennedy was alive and railing about how he might spill his Chivas if he had to keep maneuvering the Mya around all those noisy seagull-murdering wind turbines. Anything Ted Kennedy was against, I was for.

Howie Carr

At least once a year, I meet with a group called the Giving Pledge. It's a group of billionaires - including me, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Ted Turner - who have pledged to give away most of their money to charity. We meet for three days to talk about what we're doing to help make the planet a better place to live.

John Paul DeJoria

I worked on 'Blue Peter' and 'Tonight' and lots of TV plays, filmed people like Rudolf Nureyev and Ted Heath, and ended up a senior cameraman with my own crew. I'd had my first short story published in 1947, and when my writing really started to take off I decided to go freelance, and eventually left the BBC in 1965.

Michael Bond

Global Classrooms are a cinch, with the help of Merrill Lynch. When you put the org in Google, partnerships go truly gloooobal. There is hope for Earth's salvation, with the Cisneros Foundation. With Jay-Z there's double strife, life for children and water for life. Human health will get ahead, with the valiant work of (RED). For the poor and doing good, stays the job of Robin Hood. UN stays on the front burner, thanks to our champ Ted Turner. And whole revolutions stem, from the work of UNIFEM. But tonight my special shout-out, goes to one I can't do without. We have traveled up and down, Frisco, Atlanta, Chicago town. Yes, the king of all the doers, is my trusty friend Bill Luers.

Ban Ki-moon

I do not think this is a permanent condition. The craziness comes more from cultural ethnic issues than anything else, because you have a... A lot of the real craziness come from, if you like, from rural White Americans who feel that they're losing their country, they're losing ownership of the country. And they are right - we are becoming more diverse, more multicultural. And in the end, they are they...they...they are not the future. In the end, the power they still have will go away. But it's a very difficult time until then. So the future is Mayor Deblasio of New York, but Ted Cruz is still out there with the ability to do a lot of damage.

Paul Krugman

We need a corrective on who is a genuine artist. I'm an opportunist. I have no talent. That's true of 99 per cent of people in the British media. Ricky Gervais or Graham and Arthur who wrote Father Ted or Armando Iannucci are God-like as they have talent. Everyone else is a drone.

Griff Rhys Jones

Ted Bundy

If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.

Ted Cruz

Good jobs begin with good schools, and here we've made a fine start. Republicans and Democrats worked together to achieve historic education reform so that no child is left behind. I was proud to work with members of both parties: Chairman John Boehner and Congressman George Miller. Senator Judd Gregg. And I was so proud of our work, I even had nice things to say about my friend, Ted Kennedy. I know the folks at the Crawford coffee shop couldn't believe I'd say such a thing, but our work on this bill shows what is possible if we set aside posturing and focus on results.

George W. Bush

The Rat Pack was the piece that really kicked me out of that little funk that I was in and then Ted called me up and asked me if I wanted to be the dad in Blow.
