I’m angry that the private sector, which is supposed to be in charge of running gasoline into the Valley, doesn’t have its act together to deal with a critical situation, so now the public sector has to step in. – Janet Napolitano
For better or worse, MTV sort of bridges the whole country together almost like the BBC does in England. It’s opened up everything so wide that it’s possible for everyone to have different ideas. – Joey Ramone

Nobody’s going to fix the world for us, but working together, making use of technological innovations and human communities alike, we might just be able to fix it ourselves. – Jamais Cascio
Slavery existed before the formation of this Union. It derived from the Constitution that recognition which it would not have enjoyed without the confederation. If the States had not united together, there would have been no obligation on adjoining States to regard any species of property unknown to themselves. – Jefferson Davis
‘Doctor Who’ began as family television: a show that kids and their parents and grandparents can all watch, maybe even together, on the sofa. – Jill Lepore
Sometimes there’s that perfect moment when the crowd, the music, the energy of the room come together in a way that brings me to tears. – John Legend
I’ve had a bad time, which we won’t dwell on. We were married and we worked together for 52 years, and suddenly with her gone I was a quadriplegic. Slowly I’m crawling back. – Hume Cronyn
I came to NBC on ‘Friday Night Lights’ and they have supported that show and found ways – unprecedented ways – to keep it on the air for a long time. And when I came to them with the idea of doing ‘Parenthood,’ they not only supported me in doing it but also got behind it in such a way that we were able to put together this incredible cast. – Jason Katims
A city grows like an organism. It is a structure of living and working together a mix of functions. – Jaime Lerner
I have a Madonna portrait done in the style of a Russian icon. My mother, the chef Lidia Bastianich, and I bought it together. It reminds me of her. – Joe Bastianich
Don’t assume that all fat people are gluttons. And don’t use the word ‘fat.’ There is a principle here. Learn from logic and experience not to associate things – especially in preaching – that don’t necessarily go together. – John Piper

If you put all the songs together that I’ve written on band records, and put it up next to my solo record, there’s definitely a different kind of feel than Billy’s songs. – James Iha
Sometimes, when the wind hits hard and icicles form on the sea cliffs, we can all come together – and at those times, we are at our best. – John Burnside
So many things have to come together to get a creatively successful and financially successful film. Sometimes you’ll have a movie that you’re very proud of, and you think it transcended all of your expectations, but it doesn’t come out at the right time. I have done movies that have never been released. That can be depressing. – Jeff Bridges
I sit and write songs alone and then get together with people to help me flesh it out into a recording. – James Mercer
In 2008, I was in a London park when I came across a fledgling crow that had fallen from the top of an oak tree. A woman happened to be passing, and she said that she rescued animals, so she invited me back to her house. It turned out she was the wife of Jeff Beck. Jeff was there, and we ended up jamming together. – Imelda May
Lily’s really together – she’s a sharp kid and one of the smartest human beings I have ever met. Whatever she is doing, if she needs any advice, I’m there for her. Kids are going to make their own decisions, but I guess that the only thing you can do as a parent is to offer support. And I do. – Johnny Depp
Ideas which have been developed simultaneously or in immediate succession in the same mind mutually reproduce each other, and do this with greater ease in the direction of the original succession and with a certainty proportional to the frequency with which they were together. – Hermann Ebbinghaus
I think people are confused about what the Tea Party is. I mean, they were a broad cross-section of Americans who came together concerned about our debt and our spending. And they’re interested in constitutional, limited government. And so they’re not one group of people. They’re thousands of small groups all over the country. – Jim DeMint
Unraveling the euro is a terrible thing. This is a 50-year endeavor to get this continent together and that’s a wonderful endeavor. – Jamie Dimon
The ‘Moonlighting’ tension of the couple that obviously never can get together, there’s an innate sort of fun and tension in that. – Jason Katims
Fusion fashion – that’s what I’m inspired by, taking all these different cultures and then trying to put it together that a girl here would love to wear. – Hannah Simone

In this room we’re all here together, but there’s probably a lot of different views, people sitting here thinking, I don’t own any slaves, all the slaves are dead. Why am I responsible? My family were immigrants, too. – Johnnie Cochran
It may come as a surprise, but Frou Frou was really like a kind of little holiday from my own work. Guy and I, we have always worked together, and then over the years, it became clear that we wanted to do a whole album together. It was very organic and spontaneous – just one of those wonderful things that happens. – Imogen Heap
