    Famous quotes by Robert Fraser:

    "Television should be kept in its proper place-beside us, before us, but never between us and the larger life."
    "While the numbers game will not necessarily give a true picture as to which candidate has the inside edge, it is still a momentum booster,"
    "Look out for all the T-shirts bearing the images of the candidates making the rounds at the arena. While Mr. Patterson and his anticipated farewell message will hold centre stage, no less visible will be the number of supporters each candidate will be bringing to the table."
    "There's a dialog taking place between the Premier League and the European Commission. We're not a part of it. We don't know what the outcome of the ongoing discussions may be."
    "We are proud of the fact that we surpassed last year's donation."
    "[Volunteers] are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They have hearts of gold, as genuine as can be, and they truly want to help the youth of our community, and I cannot thank them enough for making a difference."
    "[VIP] met with such resounding success that the school board wanted to expand it through K to 12."
    "Regardless of how much will or commitment they show, the sheer scale of it is beyond their capacities."
    "You have to give the guy credit. He's got a GED. He's worked very hard on this."
    "It's hard to draw the line."
