Quotations - November 2007

I am looking for a quote from a journalist, (whose name, I regret, escapes me). The quote goes something like this:

"It is a shame that the people who know best how to run the country are all driving taxis ans working on building sites."

The trouble is that I need the exact quote, and I can't find any reference to it through my normal internet searches. I suppose it would help if I knew the name of the guy who said it! Can anyone help me track it down?

thanks,

O that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die Discover that I had not lived"

Thanks in advance!

In Macbeth's speech ("Is this a dagger which I see before me,/The handle toward my hand?....) does he express hatred, loyalty, glee and/or hesitation? Also if you could explain why or why not for each, wow, that would be MOST helpful!! Thank you!

P.S. Please don't answer based on the snippet of the speech I put in, it's much more than that!
