Patricia Clarkson Iraq is a manufactured conflict for the sake of geopolitical dominance in the area. Janeane Garofalo The youth is the hope of our future. Jose Rizal The President is always abused. If he isn't, he isn't doing anything. Harry S Truman

I suppose you all grant that woman is a human being. If she has a

right to life she has a right to earn a support for that life. If a human being, she has a right to have her powers and faculties as a human being developed. If developed, she has a right to exercise them. Ernestine Rose I like the catholicity in time: our tradition is one of 2,000 years. Hans Kung Without tact you can learn nothing.

Edmund Barton Everybody should do at least two things each day that he hates to do, just for practice. William James To this day, I don't know what shapes a Hollywood career. Dorothy McGuire

You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when

Pete Hamill Without a doubt, the best way to get to know me is through my music. Shania Twain
