I think paranormal experiences are very personal, again, if they are that. Yes,

sometimes I've felt that some things I would personally believe enough for me to take action on it... like, you know, I felt something happen in a hotel once that made me never stay there again. Andrea Corr I can do small things in a great way. James Freeman Clarke He who hates vice hates men. John Morley The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life. Daniel J. Boorstin The rain forest has Sting. Now Siberia has Jack Dee. Someone had to draw the short straw. In this case it was the rain forest. Jack Dee

You don't want to love - your eternal and abnormal craving is to

be loved. You aren't positive, you're negative. You absorb, absorb, as if you must fill yourself up with love, because you've got a shortage somewhere. D. H. Lawrence All I know is it destroyed my family, it destroyed my marriage to Sylvester and I will never get over it. Brigitte Nielsen My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself. Maya Angelou I think they should have a Barbie with a buzz cut. Ellen DeGeneres Sometimes when you stand face to face with someone, you cannot see his face. Mikhail Gorbachev

I think at that time I obviously wasn't aware of what I really

needed. But conversely, my wanting to prove something to everyone was beneficial 'cause if I hadn't done it then, maybe I'd never have done it. Rick Allen What does immortality mean to me? That we all want more time; and we want it to be quality time. Joan D. Vinge I'm simply an accident. Why take it all so seriously? Emile M. Cioran I feel strongly that I need to try to make my shows as real as possible. What you see is what you get. Neil Cavuto On the same bill and on the same side of it there should not be two charges for the same thing. Stephen Leacock

As states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being known, so

is it the quiet of families to have their chancery and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine all emergent differences there. John Donne I'm sure it really is hard to be an oncologist, and actually, more and more people are surviving cancer. Marcia Wallace We choose what attitudes we have right now. And it's a continuing choice. John C. Maxwell Today I bought two lottery tickets, because I had a feeling that it would be now or never - they were both blanks. So I am not going to be rich after all. Nothing at all to be done about it. Eva Braun The alchemists in their search for gold discovered many other things of greater value. Arthur Schopenhauer

Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely

offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared. Niccolo Machiavelli Your women of honor, as you call em, are only chary of their reputations, not their persons; and 'Tis scandal that they would avoid, not men. William Wycherley Our liquidity is fine. As a matter of fact, it's better than fine. It's strong. Kenneth Lay White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so: life's business being just the terrible choice. Robert Browning If somebody pisses me off and I understand it ain't personal then I'll go to another place and I'll meditate. Martin Lawrence

But as a woman, I really started feeling vulnerable on the set, and

I really felt that it was important that I should not be open for invitation or making myself look as though I was waiting for something. John Lone Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has. Anita Brookner Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us. Thomas Jefferson I was in New York and I walked into this pet store and came out with a dog. Beverley Mitchell We need quiet time to examine our lives openly and honestly - spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order. Susan L. Taylor

I mentioned the non-competitive spirit explicitly, because these days, excellence is a fashionable

concept. But excellence is a competitive notion, and that is not what we are heading for: we are heading for perfection. Edsger Dijkstra Remote villages and communities have lost their identity, and their peace and charm have been sacrificed to that worst of abominations, the automobile. James Norman Hall I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love. Mickey Mantle The future is made of the same stuff as the present. Simone Weil Look, I'm not odd. I'm just trying to be an actor; not a movie star, an actor. Montgomery Clift

You've got to stick at a thing, a particular thing, until you succeed.

I feel that's the only way to succeed - by concentrating on something in particular. Once you know what you've got to do you will succeed, you will succeed. Betty Cuthbert Being a Southern person and a blonde, it's not a good combination. Immediately, when people meet you, they think of you as not being smart. Reese Witherspoon Nobody deserves this much money - certainly not an actor. Jack Lemmon It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. J. K. Rowling I think the darker aspect of my fiction-or anybody's fiction-is by its very nature somehow easier to talk about. Richard Russo

This 21st century economy holds great promise for our people. But unless we

give all Americans the skills they need to succeed, countries like India and China will take good-paying jobs that should be ours. Harry Reid I remember, especially like when I was in high school, going to see like Dawn of the Dead and it was like mayhem in the theater and you could barely even watch the movie. It was so fun. Rob Zombie If you don't execute your ideas, they die. Roger von Oech I'm not out there just to be dancing around. I expect to win every time I tee up. Lee Trevino And I believe that good journalism, good television, can make our world a better place. Christiane Amanpour

Many critics of the Palestinians, especially those in Congress,

think the current calm is merely the eye of the storm. That's why the House of Representatives approved a foreign aid package last week that forbade the direct financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority . Suzanne Fields If the regulars are to be put together, I believe they would prefer me to the other Cavalry Commanders. John Buford It is in the treatment of trifles that a person shows what they are. Arthur Schopenhauer I'm not a humanitarian, I'm a hell-raiser. Mother Jones I always liked the story of Noah's Ark and the idea of starting anew by rescuing the things you like and leaving the rest behind. Zach Braff

When some people get parts, they feel they can now relax, but for me it

was always the opposite. Sometimes before I do a movie or before I act out a scene, I may not sleep well the night before. If I don't know what the scene is about, I might get all worked up. Benicio Del Toro That's a song about reaching deep inside yourself where you can completely be who you are. Terri Clark Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen. Stephen Hawking I think the key is for women not to set any limits. Martina Navratilova The financial reward is great and I love the life I have, but all money makes possible is for you to stop worrying about money. Then you have freedom to live your life. Paul Stanley

Well all the big companies are really panicked by the internet thing and all that,

and sales went down, although sales have gone up again in this country a bit and also the big companies, because they're so big, they need big sales really so they're not really interested. Jack Bruce Horror is beyond the reach of psychology. Theodor Adorno My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence. Edith Sitwell A politician is a person with whose politics you don't agree; if you agree with him he's a statesman. David Lloyd George Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. Aaron Siskind

There is no harm in patience, and no profit in lamentation. Death is easier to

bear (than) that which precedes it, and more severe than that which comes after it. Remember the death of the Apostle of God, and your sorrow will be lessened. Abu Bakr Who would not rather trust and be deceived? Eliza Cook We have a lot of existing customers which are also considering Linux desktop migrations and rolling out some of these programs, so we're learning from them. Miguel de Icaza The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim. Sun Tzu Besides if people really want to support the troops they would vote democrat. David Cross

If government and media and all of us in the Australian tribe got together, and

the rock industry, we'd just be the greatest cultural force the world has ever seen - we're such an amazing race. Yahoo Serious To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. Lao Tzu Let us not forget that the greatest composers were also the greatest thieves. They stole from everyone and everywhere. Pablo Casals People's dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It's what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around. Barbara Kingsolver I would rather be ignorant than knowledgeable of evils. Aeschylus

But without a caring society, without each citizen voluntarily accepting the weight of responsibility, government is

destined to grow even larger, taking more of your money, burrowing deeper into your lives. Jeb Bush Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior. Boethius Comrade Deng Xiaoping - along with other party elders - gave the party leadership their firm and full support to put down the political disturbance using forceful measures. Li Peng And old affront will stir the heart Through years of rankling pain. Jean Ingelow We only understand that which already is within us. Henri Frederic Amiel

One of my beliefs is that there are certain institutions within a community which stand for

the spirit and heart of that community, there's the church, the local football team, the local pub and the theatre. David Soul The best way in the world to deceive believers is to cloak a message in religious language and declare that it conveys some new insight from God. Charles Stanley It is only when the hearts of the Women are in the mud, that the People are destroyed. Morning Star The older I get, the more I become an apple pie, sparkling cider kind of guy. Scott Foley The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. Frederick Douglass

I could, I think, quite easily have gone to Oxford. I got four good A levels,

but my father's income was such that I wouldn't have got a grant, and he wouldn't let me go to university, and that was the end of it. Colin Baker Readers are plentiful: thinkers are rare. Anthony Burgess Our very first gig in Melbourne was a confrontation. Santiago Durango The terrible thing about the quest for truth is that you find it. Remy de Gourmont Everything understood by the term co-operation is in some sense an evil. William Godwin

I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from

getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me - spiritually and financially. Denzel Washington There are no shortcuts to victory. We must commit ourselves to the slow, painstaking work of foreign policy day by day and year by year. Richard Lugar An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it. James A. Michener It works much like a marriage, an old marriage. You've got to work on it. Dick Smothers Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things. Jesse Jackson

My submission to you is we're fighting the war on terror not overseas but in our

own streets, and we'd be spending vast more fortunes to try to be a defensive country to protect ourselves rather than an offensive country to spread democracy wherever people yearn for it. Johnny Isakson Lie down and listen to the crabgrass grow The faucet leak, and learn to leave them so. Marya Mannes So, the struggle for equal educational opportunity continues. Bobby Scott In the history of the world, no one has ever washed a rented car. Lawrence Summers The truth is, we haven't really figured out yet how artists are going to thrive in modern mass societies. We're all experiments. Brad Holland

If Germany, thanks to Hitler and his successors, were to enslave the European nations and destroy

most of the treasures of their past, future historians would certainly pronounce that she had civilized Europe. Simone Weil A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for. Grace Hopper You eventually get used to looking at girls picking their leotards out of their bums and that sort of stuff. Adam Garcia We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them. Carl Jung My only obligation is to keep myself and other people guessing. Jude Law

We never had planned to hijack a ship. We never thought of any war plans outside

the Palestinian lands. We wished that the program had not failed and then the warriors could have achieved their goals. Abu Abbas The silliest woman can manage a clever man; but it needs a very clever woman to manage a fool. Rudyard Kipling They have most satisfaction in themselves, and consequently the sweetest relish of their creature comforts. Matthew Henry If I were a Palestinian of the right age, I'd eventually join one of the terrorist organizations.

I live in a high rise with my family part of the year

in New York and I don't know three quarters of the people in the building. We live in the same square-footage and I wouldn't know who they were.

Greg Walden I will devote my body and soul to the service of the people and the nation. Norodom Sihamoni When in some communities selling drugs is so lucrative that that's a pretty big enticement that we have to break down.

Jane Byrne Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad. Fyodor Dostoevsky I enjoy the quiet life. Martin Yan

I wish to Christ I could make up a really great lie. Sometimes,

But the puritan in me thinks that if I tell a lie, I'll be punished. Willem Dafoe It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win.

William Herschel

to know that if something happens to them, their families will be well taken care of. That's the bond we have with our military men and women and their families.

Kris Kristofferson The President's speech suggested to me that were we to follow his leadership, we will be in Iraq not for months, but for years. I also hope I am wrong on this. Daniel Inouye Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye. Helen Keller It's kind of like Silence of the lambs meets Boogey Nights. Brittany Daniel

We strain to tell Americans and aliens in this country that there's nothing

unique about America, nothing unique about American civilization, nothing that requires their allegiance, nothing of great value that they should sacrifice for. Tom Tancredo A quarrel is quickly settled when deserted by one party; there is no battle unless there be two. Lucius Annaeus Seneca There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel. Vladimir Lenin What is without periods of rest will not endure. Ovid I don't keep any copy of my books around... they would embarass me. When I finish writing my books, I kick them in the belly, and have done with them. Ludwig Bemelmans

D. W. Griffith And now after all this time I finally figured out how to trap him... I will become him. John Travolta Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand-brake on.

I really dig the scene that's happening now, I really do, because there

might be a lot of bad things going on, but if out of all of those bad things ten per cent of the groovy part of it stays, wow... you can't beat that. Bruce Johnston Your personal capacity to handle more valuable projects will go up when you appreciate yourself more. Brian Koslow I was a rust repairer. I was a rust repairer and full-time survivor.
