"Yahoo intends to pursue a similar open approach to development, research and publishing and the research environment and goals at Yahoo are more compelling to me right now."

"She was asking me lots of questions, what do you do, what kind of computer is that."

"People often ask what is the difference between research and advanced development."

"The entire research community together advances the state of the art."

"On a trip from Rome to Zurich, I was writing email and doing other things you normally do on a business trip, and seated next to me was a Korean-American girl, 9 years old, very talkative."

"I broke my shoulder skiing four years ago, and now that I’ve moved back to California."

"Yahoo has a very large, diverse, and fast growing user base plus massive amounts of content and data."

"I know that it’s a search engine, but we are not allowed to use it."

"That’s not true any longer because the cycle has become so short."

"The industry is pretty small, and I had offers from Yahoo and the other big guys in search."

"It’s a very interesting question these days, because it used to be that research looks five years forward and advanced development is much shorter term."

"The goal of research is to advance the state of the art in the world."

"I was telling her I work at AltaVista."

"That’s the magic of the web."

"I was working in Hawthorne, just outside of Manhattan, and lived in Riverdale, it was nice."

"I was in New York, but I am very glad to be back in California."

"By the way, we have offices in New York; Yahoo Research has an outfit there in the old HotJobs office."

"There’s no place like New York, culturally."

"I have many friends at all three, and no matter which one I chose, two-thirds of my friends would be unhappy that I didn’t chose them."

"So a precocious 9 year old knows what I am working on, that was pretty amazing. *If I had said Digital or Compaq, she would have no idea what I was talking about."

"Companies, such as IBM and Microsoft, support research because the pie gets larger and everyone benefits."

"Research and advanced development are beginning to sync up."

"This is the perfect environment for fundamental research on the Web."

"I am excited to join Yahoo!’s leading Internet researchers in exploring emerging search technologies that will distill all the information that the Web has to offer to the maximum benefit of our users."

"Our Saviour Jesus Christ has never said that everything turns into success, that everything goes step by step. This was proven in times of persecution, in times of all kinds of suffering. What is utterly important is continuity in the mission of the Church, because God does not always judge by figures, by how many things we have accomplished, but by how faithful we have been."

"You can tell them that I live passionately. In fact, you may go further and say that unless a human being lives passionately, he may almost as well be dead. Now passion and sex are usually confused, but life without a passion for living is a pretty dull procedure. I have a passion for acting, for music, for art and, thank God, I have the opportunity to express myself in the first and to indulge myself in the other two."

"George M., In spite of the fact that this fight has taken on such profound dimensions my deep affection for you insists on keeping you a very central figure. Only the fact that I am deeply moved will excuse me from this note which I am writing with great respect. At the Equity meeting yesterday afternoon the thought occurred to me often, notwithstanding the thrill and fine feeling of the occasion itself, that it was not perfect without you, that I couldn't get the idea out of my mind that you would be happier if you were there. This occurs to me as so possible a course for you that from my modest position I am going to suggest it: that you do now, with the situation locked, forgive some things that have offended you and acknowledge—with the humility which will exalt the high position that your people, the actors, have so generously given you—that you yourself did temporarily lose your way. As I said in the beginning of this note, my deep affection for you will surely absolve me from an attempt to instruct you impertinently. I am honestly tying to serve you. Very hopefully yours, Eddie"

"Edward G. Robinson can play an innocent man inadvertently confused in crime as no one else. Whether it's Mr. Robinson's face, character, or plain old ability, or perhaps all three, we can't decide. Anyway, he shines again in just such a role—a mild, home-loving professor with a corpse on his hands, and in the home of a beautiful woman not his wife, to boot."

"I may be wrong, but I don't think a picture of mine ever played there. It was , and I played mostly at the Strand, which wasn't exactly Woolworth's, but close."

"I'm breaking all the rules, but I have to say you have been my idol. I admit being jealous of an actor. How I would like to have been what you are. How I wish my career had approximated yours. You have never deserted or failed to serve our profession. Sir, to be presented an award by you gives me infinite pride. You, being a Lord, have raised me to a slightly higher position. I don't feel that I'm quite such a commoner. But, more important, I'm Eddie and you're Larry. And how much easier that is."

"No matter how big you get, check out all the props. Make certain they're where they're supposed to be. In The Racket, I was supposed to be gunned down. One night the poor actor shooting me had no blanks in his pistol, so I had no cue. Improvising out of pure desperation, I changed Bart Cormack's play and died of a heart attack. It was simulated, but it was almost real."

"In one scene where I'm driving in a convertible with Eddie Robinson and in the back, I'm supposed to imitate all these bird tweets. We did the scene against a transparency, then Eddie rushes to the director, Lloyd Bacon, and barks, "Ralph is interpolating bird whistles not in the script. He's trying to steal the scene with those tweets." We all dissolved in laughter but Eddie was dead serious."

"It's the word I dislike, not the food. Give me a piece of bread and butter and I'll enjoy it. Now tell me it's margarine and I'll throw up."

"I'd rather see Joe Louis punch than listen to Muhammad Ali recite."

"The first symptom is that hair grows on your ears. It's very disconcerting."

"I went to see one. It did nothing for me. But I think that has to do with my age, not my morals."

"I think it should be declared illegal. I don't think we should gamble on wheat futures."

"I think he means everything he says, but he says it so badly that he sounds like a ventriloquist's dummy. His ambition was also grievous."

"I think he, Christ and Marx are responsible for the world being the way it is—and I confer my thanks upon all of them, as I withhold it."

"I was invited to do a picture—a nineteen-day marvel called Big Leaguer, with Edward G. Robinson as a baseball manager. Eddie Robinson was a marvelous actor and a brilliant man, but he was physically uncoordinated. He would walk to first base and trip over home plate."

"I always keep four or five books on my bed table, and each night I read a little of each; I guess I can't concentrate on any one at a time. But I always finish them."

"The greatest actor of the century, and lucky he was out of politics before TV. Like William Jennings Bryan, he could never have read from cue cards."

"I hated every minute of it and couldn't stop crying."

"Sandy Koufax, come home!"

"I'm told he's no longer a hero and he could have done more for the Jews, that he had a mistress. Well, count up the score. He turned the twentieth century around; without him, I think we'd all be ruled by a commissariat."

"Did it ever occur to anyone how boring his pictures are?"

"He may yet turn out to have greatness in him despite himself. I think his kind of ambition is indeed a grievous thing; now that he cannot be reelected, maybe he'll let his humanity emerge. There simply has to be more to the man than he lets us see."

"You know, I've always figured the waiting is what I get paid for. The acting I do free."
