Famous quotes containing the word apologize:
“This is one of the worst speeches I’ve ever seen. No one will listen except the Mobil P.R. man. List what we want to say M arrange items in order of priority M then say them plainly and bluntly.... Hit hard and early. Don’t apologize or evade tough issues.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“I apologize for not being entirely honest with you. I apologize for hiding my true feelings. I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you are a sadistic, degenerate old man. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“I begin, then, with some remarks about ‘the meaning of a word.’ I think many persons now see all or part of what I shall say: but not all do, and there is a tendency to forget, or to get it slightly wrong. In so far as I am merely flogging the converted, I apologize to them.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
