Economy, Ben Bernanke

To avoid large and unsustainable budget deficits, the nation will ultimately have to choose among higher taxes, modifications to entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, less spending on everything else from education to defense, or some combination of the above. - Ben Bernanke , Speech given on Apr. 7, 2010 to the Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce, "Economic Challenges: Past, Present and Future" 대규모 불안정한 재정 적자를 피하기 위해서는 정부는 궁극적으로 높은 세금, 사회보장과 보건 같은 복지 프로그램의 조정, 교육에서 국방까지 모든 분야에서 지출 삭감을 선택 하거나, 아니면 위에 언급한 것들을 같이 사용해야 합니다. - 벤 버냉키

Finance, Nicolas Sarkozy

Purely financial capitalism has perverted the logic of capitalism, Financial capitalism is a system of irresponsibility and ... is amoral. It is a system where the logic of the market excuses everything. - Nicolas Sarkozy , French President, At the Symposium "New World, New Capitalism," Paris, Jan. 9, 2009 전적으로 금융자본주의는 자본주의의 논리를 왜곡해 왔습니다. 금융자본주의는 무책임한 시스템이며, 도덕관념이 부재되어 있습니다. 금융자본주의는 시장 논리가 모든 변명이 되는 시스템입니다. - 니콜라 사르코지 (Nicolas Sarkozy)

AFI #001 Clark Gable as Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind (1939)

Image
Rhett: It seems we've been at cross-purposes, doesn't it? But it's no use now. As long as there was Bonnie, there was a chance that we might be happy. I liked to think that Bonnie was you, a little girl again, before the war, and poverty had done things to you. She was so like you, and I could pet her and spoil her, as I wanted to spoil you. But when she went, she took everything. Scarlett: Oh, Rhett, Rhett please don't say that. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry for everything. Rhett: My darling, you're such a child. You think that by saying "I'm sorry," all the past can be corrected. Here, take my handkerchief. Never, at any crisis of your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief. Scarlett: Rhett! Rhett, where are you going? Rhett: I'm going to Charleston, back where I belong. Scarlett: Please, please take me with you! Rhett: No, I'm through with everything here. I want peace. I want to see if somewhere there isn't something ...

AFI #002 Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone from The Godfather (1972)

Image
Johnny Fontane: A month ago, he bought the movie rights to this book. A best seller – and the main character, it's a guy just like me. I, uh, I wouldn't even have to act, just be myself. [choking up] Oh, Godfather, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. [Don Corleone stands up and shakes Johnny] Don Corleone: [shouting] You can act like a man! [Don Corleone slaps Johnny] Don Corleone: What's the matter with you? Is this how you turned out? A Hollywood finocchio that cries like a woman? [mockingly] "What can I do? What can I do?" What is that nonsense? Ridiculous. You spend time with your family? Johnny Fontane: Sure I do. Don Corleone: Good. A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man. Come here … you look terrible. I want you to eat. I want you to rest a while. And in a month from now, this Hollywood bigshot's gonna give you what you want. Johnny Fontane: It's too late, they start shooting in a week. ...

AFI #003 Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy from On the Waterfront (1954)

Image
Charlie: Look, kid, I - how much you weigh, son? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast. Terry: It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money. Charlie: Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money. Terry: You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could...

Dorothy: [has just arrived in Oz, looking around and awed at the beauty and splendor] Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. Dorothy: [after a pause] We must be over the rainbow! [a bubble appears in the sky and gets closer and closer. It finally lands, then turns into Glinda the Good Witch wearing a spectacular white dress and crown, holding a wand] Dorothy: [to Toto] Now I...

AFI #005 Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine from Casablanca (1942)

Image
Rick: Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well, I've done a lot of it since then, and it all adds up to one thing: you're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong. Ilsa: But, Richard, no, I... I... Rick: Now, you've got to listen to me! You have any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed here? Nine chances out of ten, we'd both wind up in a concentration camp. Isn't that true, Louie? Captain Renault: I'm afraid Major Strasser would insist. Ilsa: You're saying this only to make me go. Rick: I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. Ilsa: But what about us? Rick: We'll always have Paris. We didn't ...
