• I would have been a lot more nervous if I would had known that Matthew McConaughey was [on 30th Annual Television Critics Association Awards] and Julia Louis-Dreyfus was there and all that, and I was like, "Wait a minute and Bryan Cranston's here..." I think I would have got more nervous. But I think thinking it was just like, "Oh yeah critics, we're good." It was great.

• The elks, on the other hand live up in the hills, and in the spring they come down for their annual convention. It is very interesting to watch them come to the water hole. And you should see them run when they find it is only a water hole. What they're looking for is an 'elk-a-hole'.

• ...there was the annual Fourth of July picketing at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. ...I thought it was ridiculous to have to go there in a skirt. But I did it anyway because it was something that might possibly have an effect. I remember walking around in my little white blouse and skirt and tourists standing there eating their ice cream cones and watching us like the zoo had opened.

• Instead of disbursing her annual millions for these dye stuffs, England will, beyond question, at no distant day become herself the greatest coloring producing country in the world; nay, by the very strangest of revolutions she may ere long send her coal-derived blues to indigo-growing India, her tar-distilled crimson to cochineal-producing Mexico, and her fossil substitutes for quercitron and safflower to China, Japan and the other countries whence these articles are now derived.

• Los beneficios brutos en muchos entrenamientos parecen bastante pequeños. Es un poco como buscar parquímetros a los que les quede algo de tiempo. Sin embargo, la previsibilidad unida a un corto periodo de tenencia produce unas tasas medias anuales de rentabilidad bastante decentes una vez tenidas en cuenta las pérdidas ocasionales sustanciales.

• Discrimination and multiple deprivations of human rights are also frequently part of the problem, sentencing entire populations to poverty... It is surely a matter of outrage that over half a million women die annually from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. This is nearly half the annual global death toll, and arguably, a direct reflection of the disempowerment of women in social, economic and political life.

• El espíritu de la Navidad debe ser sustituido por el Espíritu de Cristo.
  El espíritu de la Navidad es anual;
  el Espíritu de Cristo es eterno. El espíritu de la Navidad es sentimental;
  el Espíritu de Cristo es sobrenatural.
  El espíritu de la Navidad es un producto humano;
  el Espíritu de Navidad es una persona divina.
  Eso marca toda la diferencia del mundo.

• Todos los ojos se abren, o se abren, a los derechos del hombre. La difusión general de la luz de la ciencia ya ha abierto los ojos a todos. La verdad palpable de que la masa de la humanidad no ha nacido con monturas en sus espaldas, ni unos pocos favorecidos con botas y espuelas, listos para montarlas legítimamente, por la gracia de Dios. Estos son motivos de esperanza para los demás. Para nosotros mismos, que el regreso anual de este día refresque para siempre nuestros recuerdos de estos derechos y una devoción inquebrantable por ellos.

• Sybil tells me your little festival is an annual occurrence," she said, the cadence of her voice swooning like a lullaby. "Yes," Kai said, lifting a shrimp wonton between his chopsticks. "It falls on the ninth full moon if each year." "Ah, how lovely for you to base your holidays on the cycles of my planet." Kai wanted to scoff at the word planet but sucked it back down his throat.

• Fui al SXSW en 2011. Dios, fue horrible. Quiero decir, solo fui porque mi editor quería que promocionara el libro y los organizadores me invitaron y me pareció una tontería no ir, especialmente para un autor novel relativamente desconocido. Esto no es lo mío; cuantos menos eventos de este tipo haga al año, más feliz me siento.

• Taxes should be continued by annual or biennial reeactments, because a constant hold, by the nation, of the strings of the public purse is a salutary restraint from which an honest government ought not wish, nor a corrupt one to be permitted, to be free.

• Out of my entire annual output of songs, perhaps two, or at the most three, came as a result of inspiration. We can never rely on inspiration. When we most want it, it does not come.

• Las dos revoluciones, me refiero a las revoluciones anuales de la declinación y del centro de la Tierra, no son completamente iguales; es decir, el retorno de la declinación a su valor original se adelanta ligeramente con respecto al período del centro. De ahí se deduce necesariamente que los equinoccios y los solsticios parecen anticiparse en el tiempo, no porque la esfera de las estrellas fijas se desplace hacia el este, sino porque el círculo ecuatorial se desplaza hacia el oeste, formando con el plano de la eclíptica un ángulo proporcional a la declinación del eje del globo terrestre.

• Consider the problem of over-population. Rapidly mounting human numbers are pressing ever more heavily on natural resources. What is to be
  done?... The annual increase of numbers should be reduced. But how? We
  are given two choices -- famine, pestilence and war on the one hand,
  birth control on the other. Most of us choose birth control.

• The arrangement was simply FreedomWorks paid Glenn Beck money and Glenn Beck said nice things about FreedomWorks on the air. I saw that a million dollars went to Beck this past year, that was the annual expenditure. I put it down now as basically as paid advertising for FreedomWorks by Beck.

• As president, I will fight illegal immigration in order to preserve an appropriate level of legal immigration. At the same time, I believe our system of legal immigration needs to be re-examined. As part of this re-examination, I support a modest, temporary reduction in the annual rate of legal immigration.

• How can we vote for a bill [S.744] that our own CBO says will reduce average wages in America for 12 years, increase unemployment for 7 years, and reduce per capita GNP growth over 25 years? A bill that will admit 30 million people to permanent legal status in the next 10 years? That will dramatically increase the annual immigration flow, and will double the guest worker flow?

• If we continue on the trend we’re on, we can reduce extreme poverty by more than 60 percent-lifting more than 700 million people out of dollar-and-a-quarter a day poverty and back from the brink of hunger and malnutrition. But if we accelerate our progress from 3 percent annual reduction to over 6 percent and focus on key turnarounds in some difficult countries, we could get a 90 percent reduction. We could essentially eliminate dollar-and-a-quarter head count poverty.
