Ale Quotes
A small, varied set of reflections.
This is a modest, loosely connected collection, grounded mainly in a historical comparison of the scale of wartime scientific effort between two countries. Other entries touch briefly on film ratings and the kinds of scripts actors look for. Related quotes appear in our Life quotes.

Now it will take a long time to scale biofuels, but I'm the only one in the world forecasting oil dropping in price to $35 a barrel by 2030. I'll put it on the record: Oil will not be able to compete with cellulosic biofuels. If you do it from food, the food will get so expensive you can't make fuel out of it.

I never really felt I had the same respect as my male team-mates. My opinion wasn't worth as much. I used to sit quietly in meetings and not say anything, as I knew my opinions would be disregarded. And that's after I had become Olympic champion and multiple world champion.

Everyone likes a pair of comfy shoes. But is this an automatic right? Comfy shoes are clearly not allowed at the Oscars, for example.
