• I didn't ever consider poetry the province exclusively of English and American literature and I discovered a great amount in reading Polish poetry and other Eastern European poetry and reading Russian poetry and reading Latin American and Spanish poetry and I've always found models in those other poetries of poets who could help me on my path.

• Nuestro equipo de liderazgo climático ha recomendado subirlo y yo diría que siempre va a haber presión al alza para aumentar el impuesto sobre el carbono. Recordemos que ya estamos al doble de lo que está la única otra provincia que tiene un impuesto sobre el carbono, Quebec, que lo fija en unos 15 dólares por tonelada.

• If you go into Hasakah province in northeast Syria, that's an area that's as big as Lebanon. It's controlled by the Kurds, the Christians and the moderate Sunnis. And there are airstrips and hotels. You could settle a lot of people there.All we would have to do is be willing to provide them with some weaponry, some defensive weaponry.

• En la provincia de Quebec, de donde procedo, hablamos francés y la única ciudad cosmopolita es Montreal. Cada vez que abordamos el tema de la inmigración y la tensión racial, es un tema que concierne a Montreal. Además, en Quebec tenemos este problema añadido de que queremos que la gente hable francés, porque el francés siempre está a punto de desaparecer en cierta medida. Yo trabajo, juego y hago todo en francés.

• Es deber de la humanidad, en todas las ocasiones apropiadas, reconocer su dependencia del Ser Divino... Dios Todopoderoso se interpondría misericordiosamente y calmaría la furia de la guerra entre las naciones... Él tomaría esta provincia bajo Su protección, confundiría los designios y derrotaría los intentos de sus enemigos, y uniría nuestros corazones y fortalecería nuestras manos en cada empresa que pueda ser para el bien público, y para nuestra defensa y seguridad en este tiempo de peligro.

• La agudeza crítica se ejerce en vano para desvelar el pasado; el pasado no puede presentarse; no podemos saber lo que no somos. Pero un velo se cierne sobre el pasado, el presente y el futuro, y es competencia del historiador averiguar, no lo que fue, sino lo que es. Donde se ha librado una batalla, no encontrarás más que huesos de hombres y bestias; donde se está librando una batalla, hay corazones latiendo.

• The Russians are going to be expansionist whether we [USA] provoke them to it or not. Russians keep saying that we're trying to encircle them. In what sense does the independence of Kosovo, a land-locked province, former Yugoslavia, with no common border with Russia, threaten Russia with encirclement? This is insulting. In what sense does the independence of Georgia constitute an encirclement? What we are facing, and we may as well give it its right name, is what I called it earlier, a chauvinistic, theocratic in part, xenophobic Russian imperialism.

• The fifth province is not anywhere here or there, north or south, east or west. It is a place within each of us. It is that place that is open to the other, that swinging door which allows us to venture out and others to venture in.

• The research reported on in our book "A=B", has moved a whole active field of mathematics from the province of human thought to the realm of computer-fodder. It is quite exciting to think about what other fields of pure mathematics, hitherto thought to be reserved to human intelligence, might be moved to that realm next. The goal is to put ourselves out of business completely, and the work is well underway.

• The dramatic art would appear to be rather a feminine art; it contains in itself all the artifices which belong to the province ofwoman: the desire to please, facility to express emotions and hide defects, and the faculty of assimilation which is the real essence of woman.

• Las virtudes femeninas son de carácter doméstico. La Familia es la Provincia apropiada para que las Mujeres Privadas Brillen. Si deben mostrar su Celo por lo Público, que no sea contra aquellos que tal vez sean de la misma Familia, o al menos de la misma Religión o Nación, sino contra aquellos que son los Enemigos abiertos, profesos e indudables de su Fe, Libertad y País.

• La crítica está infestada de la cantinela del materialismo, que supone que la habilidad manual y la actividad es el primer mérito de todos los hombres, y menosprecia a los que dicen y no hacen, pasando por alto el hecho de que algunos hombres, a saber, los poetas, son habladores naturales, enviados al mundo con el fin de expresarse, y los confunde con aquellos cuya provincia es la acción, pero que renuncian a imitar a los habladores.

• The Shah regarded politics as the province of demagoguery, an art in which only charlatans could excel. He had no time for what he saw as the tedious process of achieving consensus through debate and discussion and tried to justify his solitary exercise of power by insisting it was what Iran needed to catch up with lost time. He believed he was more patriotic than anyone else and needed no advice on how best to promote and protect the highest interests of the nation.

• There are, of course, a number of epistemological questions, some of which lie more in the province of the philosopher than they do the economist or the social scientist. The one with which I am particularly concerned here is that of the role of knowledge in social systems, both as a product of the past and as a determinant of the future.

• Observe that noses were made to wear spectacles; and so we have spectacles. Legs were visibly instituted to be breeched, and we have breeches. Stones were formed to be quarried and to build castles; and My Lord has a very noble castle; the greatest Baron in the province should have the best house; and as pigs were made to be eaten, we eat pork all year round; consequently, those who have asserted all is well talk nonsense; they ought to have said that all is for the best.
