Certainly almost everything we do and think is colored in some way by memes, but

Ben Jonson

Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it,

it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art. Charlie Parker There are people who laugh to show their fine teeth; and there are those who cry to show their good hearts. Joseph Roux Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed. Robert H. Schuller We have our own reasons for what's motivating us right now. Troy Vincent History has repeated itself many times througout the ages. Billy Sheehan I don't care what you say about me, as long as you say something about me, and as long as you spell my name right. George M. Cohan I became a human placebo. Bobby Sherman

Henry Fonda one time said that every time he had a job, he thought it

was gonna' be the last one. And, if you got any sense, you gotta' think that because, you know when somebody's gonna do a dip, some of 'em go pretty far down. Barry Corbin Women have to show that tummy to stay noticed. Crystal Gayle In order to win, you must expect to win. Richard Bach Film is different for me now. If the money is good and it's not totally revolting, I'll do it. Claire Bloom And I just thought, this is what I want to be. And I knew that dancing would be my chosen profession. Suzanne Farrell Touring is really a pretty lonely business. Eddy Arnold I think if it's not monumental, there's no point. Stephan Jenkins

My explanation remains the same: It was an attempt to make the point that anyone

who opposed the war can achieve their objective by working within their sphere of influence, whether their political party or community of faith. James P. Moran We may disagree on some things, but we can do so without being disagreeable. Christine Gregoire Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way. Anne Morrow Lindbergh The temptations are great to simply retreat to the domain of private life and give up on our public problems. Lee H. Hamilton All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill. Babe Ruth And I think he's been very keen to do that. Robbie Coltrane Political ideology can corrupt the mind, and science. E. O. Wilson

Let's put it this way: if you are a novelist, I think you start out

with a 20 word idea, and you work at it and you wind up with a 200,000 word novel. We, picture-book people, or at least I, start out with 200,000 words and I reduce it to 20. Eric Carle To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top. Robert M. Pirsig Fashion as King is sometimes a very stupid ruler. E. T. Bell The majority of Aboriginals do not want handouts because they realise that welfare is killing them. Pauline Hanson My idea of managing is giving the ball to Tom Seaver and sitting down and watching him work. Sparky Anderson Money is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five. W. Somerset Maugham A buddy will keep you honest and add a dimension of fun to your workout. Bill Toomey

I had made a decision early on that we were going to do the right

things and that if they worked we were going to be very successful. And if for some reason they didn't, all the claims and the protestations and the excuses wouldn't make any difference. John Engler Never injure a friend, even in jest. Marcus Tullius Cicero Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use. Thomas J. Watson The only thing wealth does for some people is to make them worry about losing it. Antoine Rivarol Joan Crawford is a movie queen. I had never met one before. I know now what I don't want to be. Mercedes McCambridge You are a little god on earth running around. Benny Hinn I wish I'd known early what I had to learn late. Richie Ashburn

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original:

whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. C. S. Lewis Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. Salvador Dali We have much work ahead, to stand still. Said Musa Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence. Sydney Smith That he delights in the misery of others no man will confess, and yet what other motive can make a father cruel? Joseph Addison It is not only the living who are killed in war. Isaac Asimov Courts of law, and all the paraphernalia and folly of law cannot be found in a rational state of society. Robert Owen

First off, we've had sworn testimony from soldiers and testimony before our staff that wasn't

sworn, that said these alarms rarely went off, that they went off after the war in most cases and went off a lot. Christopher Shays I sometimes think that the price of liberty is not so much eternal vigilance as eternal dirt. George Orwell There is nothing respecting which a man may be so long unconscious as of the extent and strength of his prejudices. Francis Jeffrey Our ships, God be thanked, have received little hurt. John Hawkins There is a breed of fashion models who weigh no more than an abridged dictionary. Dave Barry The human heart is as a frail craft on which we wish to reach the stars. Giotto di Bondone 'Escargot' is French for 'fat crawling bag of phlegm'. Dave Barry

My father died in 1930, but if you told him or anybody almost in that

time that you'd be able to sit back in England and watch a cricket game in Australia, they'd have you put in the loony bin. Desmond Llewelyn I was born in Washington, D.C., and I was raised in Milwaukee. Kristen Johnston Don't judge a book by its thickness either. Craig Bruce Men would live exceedingly quiet if these two words, mine and thine, were taken away. Anaxagoras The most you get is what you ask for. Phil McGraw It's a living, breathing thing, acting. Frank Langella It's hard to be someone that people talk about and write about, you know? They don't know me. Mariah Carey

Yesterday I was thinking about the whole idea of genius and creative people, and the

notion that if you create some magical art, somehow that exempts you from having to pay attention to the small things. bell hooks Somewhere, over the rainbow, Way up tall, There's a land where they've never heard of cholesterol. Allan Sherman Can ye fathom the ocean, dark and deep, where the mighty waves and the grandeur sweep? Fanny Crosby On vacation, I totally unplug. I don't bring a laptop with me. Will Wright Temptation is a woman's weapon and man's excuse. H. L. Mencken No one is ever too old, too rich, too poor, to pray. Loretta Young In all matters of opinion, our adversaries are insane. Oscar Wilde

This life that has been given to us as a gift, as such a precious

gift. To really try to understand it, really try to recognize it, is the greatest meditation. Through the media of this Knowledge we can tap into our inner sources that are so beautiful. Prem Rawat I kept telling everyone I wasn't going to Washington to stay. I go to visit. John Engler While making Genevieve, I learned there could be a lot more to a film than just acting in it. Dinah Sheridan The value of identity of course is that so often with it comes purpose. Richard Grant It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching. Francis of Assisi I knew that maybe I couldn't be playing again, but I just wanted to get in physical shape. Steffi Graf How could I make a little book, when I have seen enough to make a dozen large books? John James Audubon

When theology erodes and organization crumbles, when the institutional framework of religion begins to break

up, the search for a direct experience which people can feel to be religious facilitates the rise of cults. Daniel Bell We can learn something new anytime we believe we can. Virginia Satir Marriage is a team effort. Both of us share that philosophy. Nick Lachey People do not make wars; governments do. Ronald Reagan It's the journey toward doing these harder climbs that really gives value to the whole activity of climbing. Alex Lowe There are a lot of good actresses out there. Benicio Del Toro So, I understand when they make a mistake and everyone at home is throwing their shoe at the television set. Vanna White

If GE's strategy of investment in China is wrong, it represents a loss of a

billion dollars, perhaps a couple of billion dollars. If it is right, it is the future of this company for the next century. Jack Welch The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely the one who dropped it. Lou Holtz Women's propensity to share confidences is universal. We confirm our reality by sharing. Barbara Grizzuti Harrison Errors using inadequate data are much less than those using no data at all. Charles Babbage After a while, the character sort of took over. Peter Mayhew Rock and roll is the hamburger that ate the world. Peter York Difference of religion breeds more quarrels than difference of politics. Wendell Phillips

Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to

act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death. Berenice Abbott Power? It's like a Dead Sea fruit. When you achieve it, there is nothing there. Harold MacMillan When I hit a home run I usually didn't care where it went. So long as it was a home run was all that mattered. Mickey Mantle In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength. Robert E. Lee Get to know the Chef and you will start to enjoy dining out even more. John Walters I take a simple view of life: keep your eyes open and get on with it. Laurence Olivier Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony. Jane Austen

I had a woman breakdown and cry when she met me which was difficult to

deal with because immediately when someone starts to cry, you want to comfort them, you know, 'Poor thing.' I comforted her. I tried to make her feel better. Elijah Wood How fortune brings to earth the over-sure! Petrarch Don't compromise even if it hurts to be yourself. Toby Keith Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored. Abraham Lincoln Definition of 'Free': You pay for it whether or not you elect to receive it. Aaron Allston We will not lose this election for lack of money. Ed Rendell One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use it. Pedro Calderon de la Barca

The kids wait for it to be organized. They want to go play all of

these tournaments, for a little practice time. I learned my skills by dropping the puck just with the kids. I think that's missing today. Bobby Orr Doing is the great thing, for if people resolutely do what is right, they come in time to like doing it. John Ruskin Power without a nation's confidence is nothing. Catherine the Great Personal satisfaction is the most important ingredient of success. Denis Waitley If I was a book, I would like to be a library book, so I would be taken home by all different sorts of kids. Cornelia Funke Man is flying too fast for a world that is round. Soon he will catch up with himself in a great rear end collision. James Thurber Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another. Elie Wiesel

Women's courage is rather different from men's. The fact that women have to bring up

children and look after husbands makes them braver at facing long-term issues, such as illness. Men are more immediately courageous. Lots of people are brave in battle. Mary Wesley Children should enjoy the few years they have just being a kid. Dwayne Hickman I plan on being a friend, a good leader and a good governor over these next three years. John Rowland I try to win every tournament. Karrie Webb Strength and wisdom are not opposing values. William J. Clinton Without the oceans there would be no life on Earth. Peter Benchley I'm more interested in writing than in performing. Frank McCourt

There is no teacher, living or past, who can give us the actual understanding of

Truth. A teacher can only put our feet upon the path and point the way. That is all. It is wholly dependent on the individual to make his way to Truth. Paul Twitchell Even sleepers are workers and collaborators in what goes on in the Universe. Heraclitus I love men who know when to put their foot down and when not to. Leah Remini Certainly tears are given to us to use. Like all good gifts, they should be used properly. Loretta Young You shouldn't have to justify your work. Judy Chicago This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop. Alfred Hitchcock A lot of it had to do with when it's released and what's out in the marketplace, what's its competition. Jerry Bruckheimer

I think that's the great thing about music: It can communicate emotionally. And you don't

have to necessarily get all of the words. I mean you have to know what is being said, but didn't you find even if you didn't get all of the words, you certainly get the emotion? Ronny Cox Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth. George Washington It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing Prison or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history. Malcolm Forbes My sun sets to rise again. Robert Browning From today I am no longer a racing driver. I'm retired and I am very happy. Jackie Stewart You know what I hate? Indian givers... no, I take that back. Emo Philips As I've gotten older I look like a man, finally. Eric Roberts

This world is run by people who know how to do things. They know how

things work. They are equipped. Up there, there's a layer of people who run everything. But we - we're just peasants. We don't understand what's going on, and we can't do anything. Doris Lessing I am not an anti to anything which will bring freedom to my class. Mary Harris Jones I was overlooked long before anyone knew who I was. Paul Desmond The worse a situation becomes the less it takes to turn it around, the bigger the upside. George Soros Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not. John Lubbock Sympathy is the first condition of criticism. Henri Frederic Amiel We enjoy the process far more than the proceeds. Warren Buffett

It is clear that he does not pray, who, far from uplifting himself to God,

requires that God shall lower Himself to him, and who resorts to prayer not to stir the man in us to will what God wills, but only to persuade God to will what the man in us wills. Thomas Aquinas My father, who had lost a brother, fighting on the Austrian side in World War I, was a committed pacifist. Walter Kohn Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative. Dwight D. Eisenhower Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment. Napoleon Bonaparte Bee to the blossom, moth to the flame; Each to his passion; what's in a name? Helen Hunt Jackson There is greatness in the fear of God, contentment in faith of God, and honour in humility. Abu Bakr I became an actor so I didn't have to be myself. Mark Ruffalo

We are confronting a situation in which the Administration, in my view, is once again

manufacturing a crisis. There is no crisis in the Social Security system. The system is not on the verge of bankruptcy. Paul Sarbanes I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir. David Bowie Reading is to the mind what exercising is to the body. Richard Steele The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. Ralph Waldo Emerson A clever, imaginative, humorous request can open closed doors and closed minds. Percy Ross Remorse is virtue's root; its fair increase are fruits of innocence and blessedness. William C. Bryant I played a real nasty little girl but most of the roles I had up until then were very sweet and very nice. Morgan Brittany

Islam, the third in historical sequence of the ethical monotheistic religions of the Near East,

was very successful in establishing its monotheism, but had only very moderate success in spreading its version of Jewish and Christian ethics to the Arabs. Carroll Quigley A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction. Virginia Woolf Because I would give it all back to have my health. David Gest I think making mistakes is as inevitable as receiving disappointments. Loretta Young Each feature I make is my focus at that time. Richard King Concern should drive us into action, not into a depression. Karen Horney We are selected, but I grew up in California and in San Francisco and there was a system of electing judges. Stephen Breyer

A Kiss concert experience is like sex or anything else that's done with more that

one person. It's the give and take that makes it so great. When the audience takes it to the next level, we can kick it up another notch. Paul Stanley Winning isn't everything. Wanting to win is. Catfish Hunter If the Confederacy fails, there should be written on its tombstone: Died of a Theory. Jefferson Davis The white sail of his soul has rounded the promontory - death. William Alexander When I become the village idiot, or at least, it starts to become a joke, you can't do that much longer. Joan Van Ark It's weird because horses kind of come and go in my life. Danny Bonaduce A goal without a plan is just a wish. Jeff Rich

I don't know if there is any one secret to successful writing, but one important

step is to move beyond imitation and discover what you can write that no one else can - that is, find out who you are and write that in an appropriate narrative and style. James E. Gunn It's not a good idea to put your wife into a novel; not your latest wife anyway. Norman Mailer We have run out of creativity for children and teachers alike in the name of pushing up standards. Shirley Williams See, when I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality. Keith Haring Any man whose errors take ten years to correct is quite a man. J. Robert Oppenheimer Do not mind anything that anyone tells you about anyone else. Judge everyone and everything for yourself. Henry James The spirit is at home, if not entirely satisfied, in America. Allan Bloom

The best compliment to a child or a friend is the feeling you give him

that he has been set free to make his own inquiries, to come to conclusions that are right for him, whether or not they coincide with your own. Alistair Cooke At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings. Hector Berlioz I loved Herman's Head. And it was a great experience. Lita Ford I have ways of making money that you know nothing of. John D. Rockefeller As for fame, it can go to your head and you can become full of yourself. John Fahey The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards. Arthur Koestler I'm not a dictator. It's just that I have a grumpy face. Augusto Pinochet

Comparisons are really no good in sport, especially if it is a comparison between different

eras and generations, for there are so many variables that come into play, starting from the quality of the opposition to playing conditions. Sunil Gavaskar There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad. Charlotte Bronte When a member of the House moves over to the Senate, he raises the IQ of both bodies. Everett Dirksen He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope. Samuel Taylor Coleridge Billie and I did wonders for women's tennis. They owe me a piece of their checks. Bobby Riggs Rap is poetry set to music. But to me it's like a jackhammer. Bette Midler The world is all a carcass and vanity, The shadow of a shadow, a play And in one word, just nothing. Michel de Montaigne

Gemeoss

Super-Earths are how we call a family of planets... up to two times larger and

about ten times more massive than the Earth. Dimitar Sasselov I always think my face is quite nondescript - it sort of fits in to any period. It's not really distinct enough for you to remember me from something. Kimberley Nixon I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously. Art Alexakis My dad's a scientist, and my mom's a teacher, so I didn't grow up in a family that was into the entertainment world at all. Eloise Mumford I enjoy practicing law too much to even contemplate retiring, but I often think about engaging in serious study of the history of art, of the intricacies of classical music. I could write a fugue, or perhaps learn to play the cello. Karen DeCrow I graduated from college with a 3.92 GPA with a degree in computer programming and a BFA in fine arts and animation. My first job was painting a mural in the Grimaldi's in Queens. JWoww In my career as a d

What troubles me most about my lovely country is that its children are seldom taught

that American freedom will vanish, if, when they grow up, and in the exercise of their duties as citizens, they insist that our courts and policemen and prisons be guided by divine or natural law. Kurt Vonnegut Insurance companies want to make sure that you stay on your medicine. Rick Smolan I really like to rock it natural and let my hair go wild, but when I do style it, I slick all the hair over to one side with pins. It's either that or a messy bun. Tori Kelly There is just one exception to the FCC's no-throttling rule - if a company can prove that throttling is 'reasonable network management.' Marvin Ammori Both my best and my worst habit is that I'm very impulsive. Tove Lo People want change. How is Barack going to do it? I think McCain can bring change. Stephen Baldwin Nobody ever said I'm a simple personality. Rabih Alameddine From day one, since I was traded to the Clippers, the team has been amazing to not only me, but to my family.

I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there

wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology. Matthew Rhys I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that's not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth. Randy Newman When you break a sweat you just feel great. You've got your endorphins going. You feel better. You look better. And if you aren't able to get a workout in, try to find a steam room somewhere. You just look and feel so much better after a sweat. Nicole Scherzinger I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys. Edie Falco I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body. Gianni Versace I have always been a Malibu Man, like all actors. Nick Mancuso Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. Paulo Coelho My

I was always under the impression that acting is an innate gift. One of the

first things I heard them say at Koothu-P-Pattarai was that actors should realise the art of acting through their training. Vijay Sethupathi I remember auditioning for 'Moulin Rouge!,' the part that Ewan McGregor played. I was so young: I was literally just out of college. Tobias Menzies When you have an opportunity to do a series, you want to stick it out. You don't know when you're going to get another one like that again. Cleavant Derricks I am a really great daughter. Millie Bobby Brown Let us fight until the end. Let me try at least that - fight. Pep Guardiola You can have an idea that everyone else thinks is dumb, and it's still a good idea. Ryan North When there is a ring on my finger, which is actually given to me, then I'll tell the world. Till then, no one can claim me. Priyanka Chopra You need not fear my extinction. Fear my proliferation! I've already reproduced! Lydia Millet We are at a point in our nation's history w

I think you have to take each movie for its own value. There will be

those you'll roll your eyes over and others you can't wait to see. It all has to do with the intention. If someone's intention is just to make money and exploit something for profit, then it's not good. If it's thoughtfully done, the proof's in the pudding.Carrie-Anne Moss I basically applied to law school as a way of telling my parents that I wasn't going to medical school.John Delaney At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order. It's a cliche, but it's underestimated as an analgesic on all levels. Putting your house in order, if you can do it, is one of the most comforting activities, and the benefits of it are incalculable.Leonard Cohen I simply love coming to Chennai. My wife always complains, saying, 'You literally run at the mention of Chennai - I wonder what it is about that place!' I love how everyone is active here 24/7.

Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect

for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day. Tom Hanks The merit of a democratic regime rests on one's continual willingness to exchange views, and to compete on the basis of individual merit and capacities. Jose Eduardo dos Santos I love artists like Jon B, but I don't wanna be compared to anybody. I'm just doing my interpretation of rnb and how someone like me should be doing it. Brian Harvey In recent years, we have been sending a clear, consistent signal about the harms of drugs, particularly marijuana, which for most young people is the first illegal drug that they are exposed to. John Walters It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably. Immanuel Kant When I go to a concert, I can't believe that people pay lots of money to see a band that t

I wanted to be a doctor at one point and I also wanted to be

a pilot. I think if you grow up in a dodgy area, reality often beats down those ambitions as you get older. But with me that never really happened. James McAvoy I know what it's like to start a business. I know how extra ordinarily difficult it is to build something from nothing. I know how government kills jobs and, yes, I know how it can help from time- to-time. Mitt Romney I do, however, feel reasonably strongly the sense that the job of a piece of argumentative scholarly non-fiction is not the same as the job of a piece of fiction. China Mieville I was raised to think cursing makes you look unintelligent. Chloe Grace Moretz Listen to many, speak to a few. William Shakespeare I get recognized so much. It happens mostly when I'm in Starbucks. Katee Sackhoff I am bundle of nerves riddled with irrational fears. Tori Spelling I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not. Tommy Shaw As a teenager especially, I just wanted to do my thi

I agree that we must expand opportunities for retirement saving, but we must not undermine

this worthy effort with a flawed privatization scheme that takes the 'security' out of Social Security. Mary Landrieu I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant. H. L. Mencken A critical factor in its success was that the X developers were willing to give the sources away for free in accordance with the hacker ethic, and able to distribute them over the Internet. Eric S. Raymond The issue is not abortion. The issue is whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do. Howard Dean Substance must emanate from spirit and is nothing else than the record of the spirit's conception of itself finding expression in space and time. Paul Twitchell I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine. Frit

I don't like the idea of being eaten by a shark. I like to swim

in the ocean, and I think much more about sharks than anyone should. I really resent the fact that my oceangoing experiences are ruined by 'Jaws.' David Duchovny It needs to be said, over and over again, that Stan the Man was voted by 'The Sporting News' as the best baseball player of the postwar decade, from 1946 through 1955. George Vecsey We don't take anything when we pass away, and we need to do with the sense of responsibility. Carlos Slim No-one has ever called me a cool dude. I'm somewhere between geek and normal. Linus Torvalds I think in any relationship, even in the healthiest of relationships, we are all parents to each other at times. I think that's a normal, healthy sort of relationship. I think there are times when we're each a mother and a father when we need to be. Christopher Stanley I don't know if I can prepare for what's to come because I don't know what will. Daisy Ridley If you've got a camera, go

We dream of having a clean house - but who dreams of actually doing the

cleaning? We don't have to dream about doing the work, because doing the work is always within our grasp; the dream, in this sense, is to attain the goal without the work. Marcus Buckingham I don't think there's one thing I've ever said on the radio that would have been found indecent or obscene. Howard Stern Someone 'big' will get thrown out of their Trials or at the Olympics. I would bet my house on it. Ato Boldon I like to draw, produce paintings, do something with my fingers - but I am very normal, down-to-earth person. Marion Bartoli Surround yourself with people who provide you with support and love and remember to give back as much as you can in return. Karen Kain Everybody tends to think I'm crazy, which is the biggest problem in my life. Cat Power No act is of itself either good or bad. Only its place in the order of things makes it good or bad. Milan Kundera The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people
