The Democratic Party has taken the black community for granted and said, 'This is the

most loyal constituency we have. They're not going anywhere.' But the Republican Party has said, 'That's the most loyal constituency Democrats have. They're not going anywhere. We've got to win without them.' J. C. Watts Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance. Sun Tzu I knew that if the feat was accomplished it must be at a most fearful sacrifice of as brave and gallant soldiers as ever engaged in battle. John B. Hood Today we voted as Democrats and Republicans. Tomorrow we begin again as New Yorkers. Hillary Clinton God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained. Mahatma Gandhi This show has shown me how to throw a punch. But watching my future sister-in-law go through breast cancer has also shown me how to take one. Charlotte Ross I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel When I'm trusting and being myself as full

In any democratic, civilized - even non-democratic nations, if you are a nation, it means

to say that in our case, if there's a hurricane in Louisiana, the people of Vermont are there for them. If there's a tornado in the Midwest, we are there for them. If there's flooding in the East Coast, the people in California are there for us. Bernie Sanders The thing I do, really, is a communication with audiences more than any achievement through records. Richard Thompson You can only do so much grunting and groaning and then you're done, you know? Craig T. Nelson Good taste is the worst vice ever invented. Edith Sitwell Sex is great until you die, but it's never as great as it was when you were a kid, when it was a mystery. David Duchovny I've always been a true believer that if men had babies, nobody would be trying to tell them what they can and can't do with their bodies. Scott Ian I almost died, secretly, behind closed doors. Stephen Baldwin Where much is expected from an individual, he may rise to the level of events and make t

In my stories, I controlled what happened in a way I couldn't in real life.

My characters lived through the horror and degradation of the cruelty of others and they not only survived, they thrived. They gave me hope and laughter, and they kept me going in spite of everything else. They were my heroes. Sherrilyn Kenyon I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis. Boris Johnson No harm comes to man from outside alone: dumbness is the objective spirit. Theodor Adorno I'm good at everything. Brett Hull We are adhering to life now with our last muscle - the heart. Djuna Barnes Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability. Roy L. Smith Can't really despise people you don't know. Richard D. James We do what we want. We don't care what anyone else thinks. Cliff Burton The characters are trapped within the lifestyle. It's about what goes on before the movie starts. Sam Mendes

There are some programs on FOX that are not only fair and balanced, they're commentary

shows. They don't have to be. But they brag about how fair and balanced they are. They don't cover rallies and tea parties. They cheer lead for rallies and tea parties. And as a journalist, I am totally against that. Bernard Goldberg Very often I suspend my musical sensibilities to enjoy music as a fan. Billy Sheehan The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. Charles R. Swindoll There are two sides to every question. Protagoras It becomes an emperor to die standing. Titus Flavius Vespasian The most powerful element in advertising is the truth. William Bernbach Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one's self to do without it. George Eliot I let the audience use their imaginations. Can I help it if they misconstrue my suggestions? Ernst Lubitsch Nothing has more strength than dire necessity. Euripides

So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the

possibility of change. This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre. All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant. Henry David Thoreau Business has only two functions - marketing and innovation. Milan Kundera Hollywood is where they shoot too many pictures and not enough actors. Walter Winchell States are as the men, they grow out of human characters. Plato I try to stay focused on my life and do try not to be brought into the Hollywood fantasy. Jennifer Connelly The dog that trots about finds a bone. Golda Meir I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats. James Hetfield Men create the gods in their own image. Xenophanes For every benefit you receive a tax is levied. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Chinese citizens have never had the right to really express their opinions; in the constitution

it says you can, but in the real world it is more dangerous. In the west people think it's a right they're born with. Here it's a right given by the government, and one that's not really practised. Ai Weiwei Obviously with every new album we make, we always have to believe in it and feel we've gone in the right direction. Nick Rhodes Evil hiding among us is an ancient theme. John Carpenter A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth. Aesop My lord, I have some matter of law relating to the indictment, and I desire counsel to speak to it. William Kidd Human intelligence may not be the best trick nature has to offer. Bryant H. McGill I'm a terrible singer, but it helps when I have to call a taxi. Gordon Getty Success is the sweetest revenge. Vanessa Williams If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it. Lucy Larcom

I've never seen anywhere in the world as beautiful as Kashmir. It has something to

do with the fact that the valley is very small and the mountains are very big, so you have this miniature countryside surrounded by the Himalayas, and it's just spectacular. And it's true, the people are very beautiful too. Salman Rushdie I've had a few arguments with people, but I never carry a grudge. You know why? While you're carrying a grudge, they're out dancing. Buddy Hackett We should remember the campaign advertising will be only a smaller portion of the President's total exposure. Robert Teeter I know what it feels like to be an outsider. Judith Light I still feel like I'm trying to make it. It's hard to shed the struggling actor thing. Mark Ruffalo A picture is worth 10K words - but only those to describe the picture. Hardly any sets of 10K words can be adequately described with pictures. Alan Perlis I don't ever balk at being considered a Motown person, because Motown is the greatest musical event that ever happened in t

It is perfectly evident to any logical mind that when you have got the vote,

by the proper use of the vote in sufficient numbers, by combination, you can get out of any legislature whatever you want, or, if you cannot get it, you can send them about their business and choose other people who will be more attentive to your demands. Emmeline Pankhurst We hate those who will not take our advice, and despise them who do. David Sarnoff I don't like giving speeches - I enjoy sitting on my rump. Karen Morley If you call your opponent a politician, it's grounds for libel. Mark Russell We're always looking at this love through the eyes of the person who is suffering because of this love. Krzysztof Kieslowski I think a lot of the time you just parody yourself. Dylan Moran All things entail rising and falling timing. You must be able to discern this. Miyamoto Musashi There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. Andrew Jackson In time, all of Korea will be united in liberty. Richard Perle

I'm a fan of Oliver Stone. I like his movies, I like his excess, and

I think he has a great capacity for empathy and it comes out more powerfully in this movie than in any of his other films, even the formal 'I'm identifying with the underdog' movies like 'Born on the Fourth of July.' Greil Marcus The poor are the only consistent altruists; they sell all they have and give it to the rich. Holbrook Jackson The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it. Karl Marx There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. Maya Angelou Exceptions are not always the proof of the old rule; they can also be the harbinger of a new one. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach It's not because things are difficult that we dare not venture. It's because we dare not venture that they are difficult. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people. Arthur Schopenhauer The world has the habit of making room for the man w

There's a bizarre prejudice that exists in the New York publishing establishment that any work

outside the tri-state area is being done by trained chimpanzees, that geography screens out sensibility. There's an idea that all Los Angeles writing is about the movie industry, that it's vulgar, shallow and banal. Kate Braverman Water is always a support or a healing thing apart from, you know, love or peace of mind. Nastassja Kinski You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home. Og Mandino When many work together for a goal, Great things may be accomplished. It is said a lion cub was killed By a single colony of ants. Saskya Pandita A letter does not blush. Marcus Tullius Cicero When we drop fear, we can draw nearer to people, we can draw nearer to the earth, we can draw nearer to all the heavenly creatures that surround us. bell hooks Inferiority is what you enjoy in your best friends. Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield Historically, the host nations do well in Euro 2000. Trevor Brooking It is our experience that political

The whole world depends on America ultimately, particularly Britain. And also, I love America -

a marvelous country. But in a sense I don't worry about America because I think America has such huge strengths - particularly its freedom of thought and expression - that it's going to survive as a top nation for the foreseeable future. Paul Johnson See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little. Pope John XXIII I've always loved groups like U2 and Coldplay. Richard Marx I'm for catching every Japanese in America, Alaska, and Hawai'i now and putting them in concentration camps. Francis Biddle Life is hard. Then you die. Then they throw dirt in your face. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order. David Gerrold A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt dangerous. Alfred Adler There are three types of baseball players: Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen and those who wonder what happens. Tommy Lasorda The only questions that really matter are the ones you ask yourself. Ursula K. Le Guin I

There is no such thing in the world as luck. There never was a man

who could go out in the morning and find a purse full of gold in the street to-day, and another to-morrow, and so on, day after day: He may do so once in his life; but so far as mere luck is concerned, he is as liable to lose it as to find it. P. T. Barnum One of the most dangerous forms of human error is forgetting what one is trying to achieve. Paul Nitze Acting is all about truth and honesty, and the sensitivity that's capable of transporting you. Thomas Kretschmann Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us. Elbert Hubbard Insane sects grow with the same rhythm as big organizations. It is the rhythm of total destruction. Theodor Adorno Honor sinks where commerce long prevails. Walter Bagehot People say that I'm always late, but that's a myth. Milla Jovovich If I only had a little humility, I'd be perfect. Ted Turner More people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, my friends, that is t

Like, that was weird in 'Hamlet 2,' because I played myself there, fully myself, but

then I realized, 'Oh, I'm not playing myself. I'm some weird version of myself.' So as an actress, you're always playing something, I don't even know who I am, how could I become me? I don't know what that is. Elisabeth Shue Women will never be as successful as men because they have no wives to advise them. Dick Van Dyke And remember, it's also very funny, because side by side with grief lies joy. Fran Drescher I like being a strong, independent woman, and to be honest, I was never afraid to be on my own. Dido Armstrong In 1973 we moved to the British Isle of Man, and I put my first band together for one year, named Melody Fair. Andy Gibb I don't care what they say about me when I'm through with sports. I don't want to be known as anything else in life but a great father. Deion Sanders What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to secure a great one. Franc

Fantasy is my favorite genre for reading and writing. We have more options than anyone

else, and the best props and special effects. That means if you want to write a fantasy story with Norse gods, sentient robots, and telepathic dinosaurs, you can do just that. Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead. Patrick Rothfuss And there should not be a limit on the creation of new public schools. We ought to expand choices for parents. John Engler I think that where I've watched a movie go wrong, it's usually because the dread committee has been interfering with it. John le Carre Nothing is less predictable than the development of an active scientific field. Charles Francis Richter You've got to guard against speaking more clearly than you think. Howard Baker Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up. Mahatma Gandhi Four personalities are bound to clash. John Deacon I was a small kid from Huntington, Long Island. I n

I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old.

I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies. Kristen Stewart We were living in the Slad Road when my father left us. I was about three. Laurie Lee Individuals can resist injustice, but only a community can do justice. James J. Corbett If you're playing a poker game and you look around the table and and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you. Paul Newman I've always been scared to death of pain - afraid, even, to think of it. Loretta Young Nothing we use or hear or touch can be expressed in words that equal what is given by the senses. Hannah Arendt Grease is the only cure for a hangover. Cameron Diaz Every man becomes, to a certain degree, what the people he generally converses with are. Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl

Texas has no income tax, which is a big draw for corporate executives who do

business there. But it's hardly tax-free. The property taxes are high for a Southern state. The sales taxes are high. One study found that the bottom 20 percent of the Texas population pays 12 percent of its income in state and local taxes. Gail Collins I'm not impressed by someone's degree... I'm impressed by them making movies. Richard King Our program for American GIs can be heard at 1630 hours. Hanoi Hannah There is no force so powerful as an idea whose time has come. Everett Dirksen An incinerator is a writer's best friend. Thornton Wilder A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug. Patricia Neal A fool often fails because he thinks what is difficult is easy. John Churton Collins Some folks think I painted Lincoln from life, but I haven't been around that long. Not quite. Norman Rockwell It is kindness to immediately refuse what you intend to deny. Publilius Syrus

Social media is a giant distraction to the ultimate aim, which is honing your craft

as a songwriter. There are people who are exceptional at it, however, and if you can do both things, then that's fantastic, but if you are a writer, the time is better spent on a clever lyric than a clever tweet. Bryan Adams Vice is its own reward. It is virtue which, if it is to be marketed with consumer appeal, must carry Green Shield stamps. Quentin Crisp Always take hold of things by the smooth handle. Thomas Jefferson I've looked on many women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me. Jimmy Carter Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. Norman Maclean A child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong. Thomas Szasz Most dramatically, and perhaps least noticed, is the violence inside Saudi Arabia itself. Michael Scheuer The way to screw up somebody's life is to give them what they want. Patrick Swayze Can

People have to understand one thing: at the age of 18, I arrived at a

dream club like Manchester United. It was a dream come true. But, even at that moment, I was thinking about playing in England for some years and then going to play in Spain. Even at that time I was thinking that way, and I always gave 100% everything. Cristiano Ronaldo An original artist is unable to copy. So he has only to copy in order to be original. Jean Cocteau I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body. Arnold Schwarzenegger It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man's life is made up of nothing, but the habits he has accumulated during the first half. Fyodor Dostoevsky It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. William Ernest Henley Damn the great executives, the men of measured merriment, damn the men with careful smiles oh, damn their measured merriment. Sinclair Lewis There are, believe it or not, g

In college, I faced an interesting problem. I wanted to play music all the time

and yet I wasn't ready for anyone to hear it. To remedy this, I took to retreating to stairwells as a safe place to sing and write music. It was there that I wrote most of my songs in college and really grew into an artist. Kina Grannis What impresses men is not mind, but the result of mind. Walter Bagehot If you have real passion for a career in game shows, be willing to serve an apprenticeship; it's the best way to learn. Randy West That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward. Edgar Allan Poe Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. Thomas Paine Anger cannot be dishonest. Marcus Aurelius When the solution is simple, God is answering. Albert Einstein If you want to grow old as a pilot, you've got to know when to push it, and when to back off. Chuck Yeager I've been around racing a fairly long time, but when it comes to the important

The world has changed - through technology, through wine-making techniques, the quality of wine is

greater than it's ever been. Whereas ten, fifteen years ago it was very easy to find lots of bad wine, it's kind of hard now. The technology, the science - it's like, are you kidding? We're in the golden years of wine! Gary Vaynerchuk All human beings are commingled out of good and evil. Robert Louis Stevenson Adventure is worthwhile. Aesop If I were to adopt pure mechanism as a philosophy, there would be no way I could choose to be a scholar. Kenneth L. Pike There was mental and physical abuse in my family. Erin Moran My three Ps: passion, patience, perseverance. You have to do this if you've got to be a filmmaker. Robert Wise I spend half my time just living my life, and the other half analyzing it. David Schwimmer Every day is a great day for hockey. Mario Lemieux I'm proud of my Irish heritage and culture and this show will feature a lot of Irish dancing. Michael Flatley

In TV, kid roles are like this: You're either in a couple minutes of an

episode playing somebody's kid, or you get in these procedurals where you're crying or you're playing a witness or you're playing a crazy person. Every once in a while you get a big guest star role, but there's a formula to those TV shows. Kyle Gallner I wanted to connect a modern story with a myth that I had read. Wally Lamb The worst evils which mankind has ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments. Ludwig von Mises Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end. Will the day's journey take the whole long day? From morn to night, my friend. Grantland Rice It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion. William Ralph Inge A lot of times, women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship, what men go through when they're not really dealing well. Morris Chestnut Religious conflict can be the bloodiest and cruelest conflicts

I'd have to say, for me, as a child, my favorite memories were always centered

around Christmas time. It always seemed like no matter how much money my parents had or didn't have, we got completely spoiled rotten. There were always presents under the tree, and we always did special things, like hide elves around the house. Josie Bissett Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best. Andrew Carnegie I wear everything from hip-hop baggy pants to beautiful Armani dresses. I also like to mix vintage clothing with designer pieces. Julia Stiles True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation. George Washington We all live in suspense from day to day; in other words, you are the hero of your own story. Mary McCarthy Sometimes I think war is God's way of teaching us geography. Paul Rodriguez Real genius is nothing else but the supernatural virtue of humility in the domain of thought. Simone Weil The biggest mistake people mak

I'm sort of of the belief that people kill themselves from the inside out. When

they're unhappy with what they're doing, or not achieving things - when your focus is off-kilter. The thing that keeps me ticking is my values. And I maintain them, because they're worthy. I like to wake up and feel I've done no wrong. I like that feeling. John Lydon I'm not a toy boy, bellybutton band, so I don't have to worry about that. Actually, I never did. Juice Newton A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise. John Henry Newman People often ask me how I make things funny. I don't make things funny. Richard Russo This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish at the same time. Aneurin Bevan The love of truth lies at the root of much humor. Robertson Davies Probably the toughest time in anyone's life is when you have to murder a loved one because they're the devil. Emo Philips One m

I always wanted to be an actress. And it wasn't ego. I felt so little

about myself, considered myself such a sparrow. Not just my size. I thought I was so plain... I did plays not to show off but because if I did that - I didn't realize it at the time - I would be somebody other than this person I didn't really approve of. Frances Bay The point of the essay is to change things. Edward Tufte You know, the country is basically peaceful. Paul Bremer Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners. Dale Carnegie Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be. Thomas a Kempis Creatures whose mainspring is curiosity enjoy the accumulating of facts far more than the pausing at times to reflect on those facts. Clarence Day When the strong box contains no more both friends and flatterers shun the door. Plutarch By virtually any measure, the record of the Republican Majority is an appalling failure. Sheila Jackson Lee

With respect to Barack Obama, let's face it; Barack Obama is an iconic figure in

the African-American community. We respect that. We understand that. African-Americans are going to vote for the first black president, especially when he happens to share the liberal politics on economic issues that many in that community hold. Artur Davis China is crippling our manufacturing economy and eliminating our jobs by illegally flooding our markets. Virginia Foxx All really great lovers are articulate, and verbal seduction is the surest road to actual seduction. Marya Mannes But my patriotism goes for something beyond what we have. We don't have something that I want to die for - anymore. Jack Bowman All the fingerprint paintings are done without a grid. Chuck Close Remorse sleeps during prosperity but awakes bitter consciousness during adversity. Jean-Jacques Rousseau The American people are not anti-immigrant. We are concerned about the lack of coherence in our immigration policy and enforcement. Chris Cannon My idea of fast food is a mallard. Ted

Governments of rich countries spend some $6bn of tax money a year on disaster relief

and development aid overseas, while each new earthquake, famine or tidal wave can attract 1,000 aid organisations, from the United Nations Children's Fund and Oxfam to the 'Jesus Brigades' of the American south and other charitable adventurers. James Buchan Some scholars have been arguing that a civilizational clash between organized religions is the next step in human history. Mary Douglas Labor gives birth to ideas. Jim Rohn Publicity can be terrible. But only if you don't have any. Jane Russell I don't think of myself as a character actress - that's become a phrase which means you've had it. Bette Davis People identify with me - everyone does - African American women, Caucasian women, they all identify with me because I'm ethnic. Janice Dickinson A world in which others controlled the course of their own development, would be a world in which the American system would be seriously endangered. Benjamin Cohen An idea isn't respo

I am disappointed that my 25 years in public life have apparently not earned me

the benefit of the doubt, but I understand that Senator Mitchell's report has raised many serious questions. I plan to publicly answer all of those questions at the appropriate time in the appropriate way. I only ask that in the meantime people not rush to judgment. Roger Clemens I began hearing rumors of apossible recording session with Neil Young. I was a huge fan of Neil's. Jack Irons The successful man doesn't use others, other people use the successful man, for above all the success is of service. Mark Caine Look in the mirror, and don't be tempted to equate transient domination with either intrinsic superiority or prospects for extended survival. Stephen Jay Gould Patience is the most necessary quality for business, many a man would rather you heard his story than grant his request. Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it. Warren Buf

To inspire a singularity of focus, a challenge must be important to you and it

must be something you feel you should do now in this moment. If it's trivial or not time-bound, you won't engage. So in selecting your next challenge in life, choose one that is meaningful and will demand your complete concentration. Brendon Burchard Don't you hate when your hand falls asleep and you know it will be up all night. Steven Wright I don't remember ever having finished a book. Bridget Hall Next to acquiring good friends, the best acquisition is that of good books. Charles Caleb Colton Youth comes but once in a lifetime. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Americans are big boys. You can talk them into almost anything. Just sit with them for half an hour over a bottle of whiskey and be a nice guy. Nguyen Cao Ky One is taught by experience to put a premium on those few people who can appreciate you for what you are. Gail Godwin My memories are inside me - they're not things or a place - I can take them anywhere. Olivia Newton-John Every yout

One of the least arduous but most productive of gardening jobs, the magic of deadheading

never fails to delight me. It was a revelation when the principle was explained to me: that flowers are the attempt by the plant to reproduce itself. So if you cut the heads off before the flower turns into seeds, the plant will continue to flower. Tom Hodgkinson To remove ignorance is an important branch of benevolence. Ann Plato No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney. Al Smith The god, it would appear, was frequently thought of as the physical progenitor or first father of his people. William Robertson Smith I mean, there's no arguing. There is no anything. There is no beating around the bush. 'You're fired' is a very strong term. Donald Trump Progress comes to those who train and train; reliance on secret techniques will get you nowhere. Morihei Ueshiba The most important thing about my profession is finding the truth, finding the reality of these shows. Shuler Hensley And there is a beautiful thing which is wonderful, to look li

I feel like hair is the number one thing that makes me feel beautiful or

not. If I have really bad hair, but my makeup's beautiful and I have a wonderful dress on, I'm still not happy. So if I wake up, and I've got 2 big zits on my face and my hair looks fierce, I feel ok. I have a weird hair obsession. Amber Stevens I never really went to any concerts that I wasn't in. Slick Rick Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave. Martin Luther So I regard my part in Genevieve as a real challenge. Dinah Sheridan Reading the epitaphs, our only salvation lies in resurrecting the dead and burying the living. Paul Eldridge Money is a way of creating scarcity. Peter Coyote If I had only one sermon to preach it would be a sermon against pride. Gilbert K. Chesterton One characteristic of winners is they always look upon themselves as a do it yourself project. Denis Waitley Many have changed so much that they have lost the magic of the dream that carried them on their own bootstraps.

Successful prime-time television of any genre produces some kind of emotional reaction in the viewers.

There are a lot of different emotions to tap into. The emotion of the reward of discovery, the feeling of righteous anger, the feelings of pathos and sadness, or sentimentality of being moved by something. Chris Hayes Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life. Bette Davis A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. Charles Dickens I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries. Marie Curie I had hoped God would be neutral. Darrell Royal There is nothing Federal about local volunteer fire departments. Bobby Scott To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature. Auguste Rodin The people are hungry: It is because those in authority eat up too much in taxes. Lao Tzu Monica Seles: I'd hate to be next door to her on her wedding night. Peter Ustinov

The first of the four noble truths of Buddhism, that there is suffering in life,

was enormously important to me. No one had ever said it out loud. That had been my experience, of course, but no one had ever talked about it. I didn't know what to do with all the fear and emotions within, and here was the Buddha saying this truth right out loud. Sharon Salzberg To stand there and do nothing on film is probably the hardest thing to do. Thomas Jane Room service? Send up a larger room. Groucho Marx I think it's really important for me not to forget where I came from. Anna Kournikova It is really cool to have created a movie that has turned out to become the biggest movie of the year. Michael Bay I've got to take a break, to be honest. I'm not even going to lie. Sean Combs It takes a person who is wide awake to make his dream come true. Roger Babson Now there is one outstandingly important fact regarding Spaceship Earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it. R. Buckminster Fuller Our esteem for facts has not neutralize

I wish to clarify that I have absolutely not made a decision regarding my participation

in the next Olympics. On a personal level, playing in the Olympics would be a huge honour. However, the Games in Rio are still four years away and I certainly won't be making any decisions with regards to participating any time soon. Rory McIlroy Canada is like an old cow. The West feeds it. Ontario and Quebec milk it. And you can well imagine what it's doing in the Maritimes. Tommy Douglas Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. Robert Frost I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. Leonardo da Vinci Honest conviction is my courage; the Constitution is my guide. Andrew Johnson Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have. Saul Alinsky First rule of Economics 101: our desires are insatiable. Second rule: we can stomach only three Big Macs at a time. Douglas Horton Do something wonderful, people may imitate it. Albert Schweitzer Nature

Hubbard set up the Church of Scientology in Hollywood in 1954 for a reason. He

understood that celebrity was increasingly a feature of American public life, and celebrities themselves were going to be worshiped as minor deities were in the ancient world. The idea was: if you could get them, think how many people would follow. Lawrence Wright If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome. Michael Jordan I started by hacking around the back yard in Richmond. Jennifer Wyatt There is no blue without yellow and without orange. Vincent Van Gogh Resolve and thou art free. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present. Francis Bacon I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark. Muhammad Ali And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch'd by the thorns. Thomas Moore Conjugal love, or the friendship of spouses, can persist

I used to overpack a lot and sometimes even forgot vital pieces of clothing, such

as my swimming shorts and sandals. I'm much better now. I only take what I know I'm going to wear or use and always double-check my suitcase so I don't have to rush to the nearest clothing store when I unpack at the hotel. Jean Reno No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history. William Hazlitt I am climbing a difficult road; but the glory gives me strength. Sextus Propertius I may be boring, but it would be to wake up by my dog and then my daughter. Izabella Scorupco He has committed the crime who profits by it. Lucius Annaeus Seneca The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years. Deepak Chopra It is the duty of man to raise up man. Jose Marti If anyone wonders why the airlines are not doing well it is because flying has been made such an unpleasant and degrading experience. Keith Henson Bad news isn't wine. It doesn't improve with age.

Our laws governing lobbying and campaign contributions have struck the right balance between the wishes

of the people and those of private industry, so why are we so quick to doubt that the same great results can be achieved by putting the government's justice-dealing branch on the same market-based course? Thomas Frank There's an inner feeling you get when you get in a situation to do well in a game. It's hard to explain. Jim Thome Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit. M. Scott Peck It is important to make the fans that support me feel supported. Mackenzie Astin Yes, we're still five little people with a noisy attitude. Angus Young Man hoards himself when he has nothing to give away. Edward Dahlberg The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear. Edward Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages. William Ellery Channing The com

The Chinese have certain advantages. The fact that it's a single party government. But I

do believe in the long run the fact that India is a functioning democracy committed to the rule of law. Our system is slow to move but I'm confident that once decisions are taken they are going to be far more durable. Manmohan Singh Of what worth are convictions that bring not suffering? Antoine de Saint-Exupery I'm at that point in my life where I definitely want to get married soon. I've got my dogs as surrogates, but I'm ready for kids. Michael Bay There's no taking trout with dry breeches. Miguel de Cervantes Olympism is the marriage of sport and culture. Juan Antonio Samaranch In life you need either inspiration or desperation. Tony Robbins There's a greatness in this country many of the kids today don't know. Jack Scalia My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones. Agnetha Faltskog The company accountant is shy and retiring. He's shy a quarter of a million dollars. That's

It always surprises me when donors who operate successful businesses assume that just building a

school structure means that a community now has access to education. When creating a business, does renting an office space now mean that you're producing goods, training staff and generating revenues? Adam Braun Language is a part of our organism and no less complicated than it. Ludwig Wittgenstein I want to help people with depression understand that there is hope, so that they can get the help they need to live rich, fulfilling lives. Tom Bosley I never know how much of what I say is true. Bette Midler I shall refract myself, yes, I shall no longer be known as the prism. Bruce Dickinson And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away. Frank Langella How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens. Alexander the Great Always give an autograph when somebody asks you. Tommy Lasorda I would be a poorer person if the only things I knew were what I had found out for myself. J. Irwin Miller

I have learned the hard way to mind my business, without judging who people are

and what they do. I am more troubled by the lack of space being provided for the truth to unfold. Humans cannot seem to wait for or honor the truth. Instead, we make it up based on who we believe people should or should not be. Iyanla Vanzant I don't have a lot of regrets in my life. Cathy Freeman And I taught acting for years, and without knowing it that was the real thing that started bending me toward directing. Sydney Pollack I'm interested in doing movies I wouldn't normally be interested in doing. Eric Stoltz Every radish I ever pulled up seemed to have a mortgage attached to it. Ed Wynn You sound like a man with a vision. Care to pass that bong over this way? Paul Vixie Find out what you don't want to know about yourself, what you're afraid of. Linda Evans Any philosophy that can be put in a nutshell belongs there. Sydney J. Harris A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves. Simone Weil

Because our generation has waited so long to have babies, we feel we've 'discovered' something

that women have been doing for thousands of years. I have no illusions that I will be in the same situation as the average working mother. I'm not trying to prove anything - I just want to have kids. Jane Pauley Each week, from a different point of view, you get another look at God, and that's exciting to me. Della Reese It is normal for politicians in all countries to profess themselves the pupils of history, anxious to draw the right lessons from her teaching. Douglas Hurd The nation was awakened by that deafening shot. Corazon Aquino The poetic act consists of suddenly seeing that an idea splits up into a number of equal motifs and of grouping them; they rhyme. Stephane Mallarme Well, I've got two small children and this is a very important time for me to be around them. Treat Williams Sin is too stupid to see beyond itself. Alfred Lord Tennyson Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every d

As one of the first editors at 'Outside' magazine in 1975, it was my contention

that most American writing going back to James Fennimore Cooper and then through Twain up to Hemingway had been outdoor writing. At that time, adventure writing meant stuff like 'Saga' or 'Argosy.' 'Death Race with the Jungle Leper Army!' That kind of thing. Tim Cahill I took Bobby Kennedy through the delta and he cried like a baby. Charles Evers I think our police are excellent, probably because I have not done anything that has occasioned being beaten up by these good men. Clement Freud A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end. George S. Patton Given the right to a free ballot, the people would support my return. Benazir Bhutto The grass isn't always greener on the other side! Ricky Gervais One day I may be meeting you and hearing how you've changed your life by saying, 'Farewell to Fat'. Richard Simmons It takes a certain level of aspiration before one can take advantage of opportunities t

Cultures have long heard wisdom in non-human voices: Apollo, god of music, medicine and knowledge,

came to Delphi in the form of a dolphin. But dolphins, which fill the oceans with blipping and chirping, and whales, which mew and caw in ultramarine jazz - a true rhapsody in blue - are hunted to the edge of silence. Jay Griffiths I have grown in my writing and I care about it now and I know how important it is to write stuff. Charles King The violence betwen women is unbelievable. Women try to make each other crawl so that their knees are bleeding. Tori Amos The way of the world is to make laws, but follow custom. Michel de Montaigne The fun part for me is to just really push that envelope. Vicki Lawrence The crafty person is always in danger; and when they think they walk in the dark, all their pretenses are transparent. John Tillotson Tact is the discrimination of differences. It consists in conscious deviations. Theodor Adorno The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion. Arthur C. Clarke What passes for

When you win, everything is everything. But when you lose, it's all about Allen Iverson

and Larry Brown. When we win, I know that I get the praise and Larry Brown gets the praise, but when we lose, it's on me and Larry Brown. That's something that I have to learn to accept and deal with. Allen Iverson Now I listen to all kinds of music except rap, which all sounds the same to me. Moira Kelly A public expectation, it has to be said, not of poetry as such but of political positions variously approvable by mutually disapproving groups. Seamus Heaney The tongue is the only tool that gets sharper with use. Washington Irving Religion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable. Ambrose Bierce My act has always reflected what's going on in my life. Kathy Griffin I know that 20 years from now if anyone asks me one question, it will be, 'What was it like to be in Saving Private Ryan? Tom Sizemore Kids and adults have sex for many, many reasons... Put out a question box. Sue Johanson Love is not blind -

Don't force yourself to write. Some people can write a novel in a few months,

whereas for others it can take over a year. I'm lucky to be one of the former - but, even so, if I'm not in the mood to write, I won't. I'll go off, do something else and come back to it when I'm ready. Cecelia Ahern There is something permanent, and something extremely profound, in owning a home. Kenny Guinn Conciliation is not capitulation, nor is compromise to be deemed equivalent to imbalanced concession. Jalal Talabani Without love in you life, you have nothing. Wynonna Judd I suppose all writers worry about the well running dry. Richard Russo I learned so much about recording and about singing on records from Ken Nelson. Wanda Jackson If it's going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately. Henry Kissinger They've got great parents; I'm just trying to be the fun uncle. Sarah Silverman It's just not easy to explain to someone else what you don't understand yourself. Wislawa Szymborska

I've definitely, you know, been with women. And I've had great relationships with them where

I was definitely in love. It's just I grew to a point where deep inside I knew that I could never truly have a relationship with a woman. I don't know if they ever suspected. It was never brought up. Lance Bass Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice. Sydney J. Harris Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse. Groucho Marx Men of power have no time to read; yet the men who do not read are unfit for power. Michael Foot Isolation is the sum total of wretchedness to a man. Thomas Carlyle Women have a special corner of their hearts for sins they have never committed. Cornelia Otis Skinner As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them. Maya Angelou The box was a universe, a poem, frozen on the boundaries of human experience. William Gibson I was given no special information by the White House, or by anybody else, fo

I mean, I really don't want the federal government to be determining whether or not

a person who feels certain ways about the environment or about animals or about certain religious issues should be considered an extremist. That to me is a type of thought control, mind control, which is very dangerous. Peter T. King Love you will find only where you may show yourself weak without provoking strength. Theodor Adorno To oppose something is to maintain it. Ursula K. Le Guin The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones. Henry Ward Beecher You give me nothing during your life, but you promise to provide for me at your death. If you are not a fool, you know what I wish for! Marcus Valerius Martial A man must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur, and dreaming is nursed in darkness. Jean Genet The wheel is come full circle. William Shakespeare Nothing is more devastating to a community than out-of-control crime. Alan Autry I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in soc

I don't want people mistreating me. I found out when you're vulnerable and your heart's

open, then people step on you. You're really stupid for letting that happen. And the only way to counteract that is to be like Wolfman Jack. Because if you do nice, kind things for people, then how are they going to mess you over? Wolfman Jack You have to defeat a great players aura more than his game. Pat Riley A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years. Lysander Spooner I have always lived beyond my means. I am still trying to live beyond my means, but it is getting harder all the time. I am very rich. Allan Sherman My boyfriend and I broke up. He wanted to get married and I didn't want him to. Rita Rudner Finite to fail, but infinite to venture. Emily Dickinson I am not a piece of hash. I'm in charge of Factory Records. I think. Tony Wilson All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure. Carl Sandburg People who know me well, call me Elizabeth. I dislike Liz. Eliza

It's funny: I put money into short films, and I put really good actors in

it, and I write some stuff that's really funny, and I'll get, like, a million views. But to the right of me, there will be a video of a kitten that falls into a toilet bowl, and it's three seconds long, and it will get 25 million views. Ben Schwartz It's bad poetry executed by people that can't sing. That's my definition of Rap. Peter Steele Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. E. F. Schumacher How can I go on with this? Please God, let me win a football pool. Simon Raven The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal. H. L. Mencken In the democratic western countries so-called capitalism leads a saturnalia of 'freedom', like a bastard brother of reform. Wyndham Lewis In the days and months I spent walking through the various communities of this city, I found that Chic

Doug Ford was one of the first of the old pros I saw during my

first full year on tour, in 1963. To this day he's the best chipper I've ever seen. One thing Doug did was get the ball onto the green and rolling right away, keeping it as low as possible. He never hit his chips higher than was absolutely necessary. Raymond Floyd I see no reason to keep silent about my enjoyment of the sound of my own voice as I work. Muriel Spark I am a lover and have not found my thing to love. Sherwood Anderson If there's an intellectual highway, there's also an intellectual subway. Stanley Crouch When we lived in Juneau, Alaska, it was a town of about 7,000 people, and totally isolated; the only way to get to it was by ship. John C. Hawkes To venture upon an undertaking of any kind, even the most insignificant, is to sacrifice to envy. Emile M. Cioran Science cannot resolve moral conflicts, but it can help to more accurately frame the debates about those conflicts. Heinz R. Pagels This nation is never finished. It has to be re-

Well, what's interesting, I try not to think about the radio when I'm writing a

song. I want people to love the song, and that means it might not be exactly thinking about the radio, but it's thinking about your audience and saying, 'I want people to like this song after it's done.' John Legend The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness. Edward Gibbon Belly was not a bad movie. It was visually very interesting. Orlando Jones Jonathan is that brilliant little fire that burns within us all, that lives only for those moments when we reach perfection. Richard Bach It looks easy, like surfing, but surfing is hard too. George Eads My aunt had a season ticket for the Friday afternoon concerts, and I would go down for lessons. My lessons were Saturday morning. Robert Ripley You'd rather have a surplus versus a shortage in your position. Kenneth Lay I'm really just a normal person. Vanna White We had to leave Australia to become internationa

I'm not too picky about guitars. I love to collect them, mostly oddballs, but I'm

not married to any brand or model. Whatever guitar has the best character for the song is the one I want to use, because if you've got a style, you're going to sound like yourself no matter what guitar you play. Dan Auerbach Managing people's sex lives is something that I don't think is a good role for government. William Weld The preparation I had in college was the most valuable. Hayden Fry I just saw metal as another tool for me to use. Daisy Berkowitz Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them. John C. Maxwell Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. Oscar Wilde Man thinks, God directs. Alcuin It's always been my dream to do a dance scene with Anthony Hopkins. Gary Sinise I remember things that happened sixty years ago, but if you ask me where I left my car keys five minutes ago, that's sometimes a proble

I'm a sucker for gag reels and teaser trailers for new seasons. One of the

great parts of panels, especially on a show like 'Supernatural,' which can be so dark, it's fun to get up there and laugh and remember we're only telling a story. Seeing Eric Kripke and Ben Edlund up there being so funny always makes me laugh. Jared Padalecki A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke. Groucho Marx Fame means millions of people have the wrong idea of who you are. Erica Jong In politics it is necessary either to betray one's country or the electorate. I prefer to betray the electorate. Charles de Gaulle I came like Water, and like Wind I go. Edward Fitzgerald If youth be a defect, it is one that we outgrow only too soon. James Russell Lowell I used to have six left feet. Now I only have one and a half left feet. Jesse McCartney What we learn only through the ears makes less impression upon our minds than what is presented to the trustworthy eye. Horace The thing that bums me out about 'The Real World&#

There are always signs that a reign is ending, and they are usually spotted not

in the king himself but in his court. In the inner circle, latent jealousies between advisers spill into open conflict, as they angrily debate who is to blame for the calamity, chewing over each other's past errors and pointing the finger at old and nascent enemies. Hanna Rosin The problem, for me, with the writing programs is that they produce a terrible uniformity of product. Peter Davison I saw that nothing was permanent. You don't want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it. Yoko Ono Where anti-Semitism persists, the well being of all our people is at risk. Paul Sarbanes What is right and what is practicable are two different things. James Buchanan And I plan to write a sequel to Dragon Rider. Cornelia Funke In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider. King Solomon Every old poem is sacred. Horace Tell everyone what you want to do and someone will want to help you do it. W. Clement Stone

I told my mom, 'I'm not buying another magazine until I can get past this

thought of looking like the girl on the cover'. She said, "Miley, you are the girl on the cover,' and I was, like, 'I know, but I don't feel like that girl every day.' You can't always feel perfect. Miley Cyrus I have no requirements for a style of architecture. Michael Graves I started working on OpenBSD, and many earlier projects, because I have always felt that vendor systems were not designed for quality. Theo de Raadt God will forgive me. It's his job. Heinrich Heine I decided to retire from show business at the age of 17, because I didn't like it a bit. Shirley Bassey The world of men is dreaming, it has gone mad in its sleep, and a snake is strangling it, but it can't wake up. D. H. Lawrence Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I wanted to come through with my own voice and, hopefully, have it affect people. I want people to

My breakdancing crew used to go to the mall and squat a piece of cardboard

there; we had our jam box, and I'd spin on my head and make about forty bucks a day, which was pretty good back then. I was only 14 years old, so I would chase the girls around the mall and eat some pizza and have some change left over. Vanilla Ice Happiness, to some, elation; Is, to others, mere stagnation. Amy Lowell I just try to get on anyway that I can, hit, hit-by-pitch, walk, home runs, anything. Nick Johnson All people are born alike - except Republicans and Democrats. Groucho Marx There is not a passion so strongly rooted in the human heart as envy. Richard Brinsley Sheridan Then, for a hot three or four weeks I wanted to be a concert pianist. Frank Langella I tell students that the opportunities I had were a result of having a good educational background. Education is what allows you to stand out. Ellen Ochoa A disposition to preserve, and an ability to improve, taken together, would be my standard of a statesman. Edmund Burke Whoever conquers a fr

For a while, I was saying 'no' way too often. I turned down 'An Officer

and A Gentleman,' 'Splash' and 'Midnight Express.' I could name you tons more. I would go off and experience life instead of working - I was learning to fly jets, went on an African safari, sailed the Caribbean - which wasn't necessarily bad. John Travolta Every real thought on every real subject knocks the wind out of somebody or other. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Dream in a pragmatic way. Aldous Huxley Men take only their needs into consideration - never their abilities. Napoleon Bonaparte From the cradle to the coffin underwear comes first. Bertolt Brecht Nothing could be more insulting to me than the concept of civil rights. It means perpetual second-class citizenship for me and my kind. James Meredith When you're fighting with a stunt person, your intent is to miss. Victoria Pratt It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid. Albert Einstein If you develop rules, never have more than ten. Donald Rumsfeld

My first job out of college was as an editorial assistant in a New York

publishing house. Being an editorial assistant is the purgatory would-be editors must endure before they can ascend the ladder and begin acquiring books on their own. I spent a year filing paperwork, writing copy, and typing rejection letters. Lincoln Child I was very influenced by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, both of whom I had the pleasure of playing with and becoming friends with. Mick Taylor There is no such thing as a person that nothing has happened to, and each person's story is as different as his fingertips. Elsa Lanchester I'm innocent. I've done nothing. I'm a nice guy. Coolio I discovered very early that it wasn't quite enough for me to imitate people. Cecil Taylor When you come to a roadblock, take a detour. Barbara Bush Daley may not feel a moral responsibility to eliminate discrimination but he has a legal obligation to do so. Bobby Rush Natural science, does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay be

A strong accountability system needs to broaden, not narrow, the curriculum. That cannot happen if

you only have accountability without adequate school funding. Until Tallahassee understands the need to raise the bar as well as the financial investment, Florida will continue to celebrate mediocrity at the expense of true achievement. Dan Gelber They've pushed me down a big ravine, but I'll get back up to the top. Tyler Hamilton Well, now that he's finished one building, he'll go write four books about it. Frank Lloyd Wright That's the era we grew up in. It's weak to go to a psychiatrist. Tanya Tucker Democratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making. Salvador Dali I think he will probably come round in time, I mean to renew the subject pretty often. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Exceeds man's might: that dwells with the gods above. William Shakespeare I get drunk writing words. I don't drink or do drugs, but I get so carried away with writing that I get inebriated from it

If you have a movie that doesn't strive to go to a certain emotional point,

you can do anything and it will be fine and funny. But if you have something pretty emotional at its core, you have to make it right. You don't want it overwrought or unearned. Everything has to be moving towards this one thing. Jennifer Yuh Nelson Pleasure is none, if not diversified. John Donne Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves. Brendan Behan Build the roads and the jobs follow. Tommy Thompson The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom. But in the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves. Bernard Baruch By nature's kindly disposition most questions which it is beyond a man's power to answer do not occur to him at all. George Santayana The becoming of man is the history of the exhaustion of his possibilities. Susan Sontag Change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better. Richard Hooker

In almost every profession - whether it's law or journalism, finance or medicine or academia

or running a small business - people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust, we are all worse off for it. Hillary Clinton In Romanticism, the main determinant is the mood, the atmosphere. And in that regard, you could also describe Schubert as a Romantic. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau It's not the easiest life in the world, but then no life is easy. Dean Stockwell A #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere. Joyce Meyer Works of imagination should be written in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain. Samuel Taylor Coleridge It gives one hope, this great strength of Africa. Stephen Lewis Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown. Soren Kierkegaard The most fun is to play clubs, because you actually get to see the people. Tony Levin The rail service is important for my

In 1967, I signed up for the Army, where I earned an equivalency diploma, then

went on to join the Special Forces. That was really was the turning point in my life. I became more disciplined and focused. I went overseas and was in combat, got wounded a couple of times, lost a lot of good friends but matured a great deal. Richard Carmona We recognize that the arts are an essential part of San Francisco's cultural vitality. Gavin Newsom Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. John F. Kennedy I typically go overboard when I research new projects. Will Wright You can't trust water: Even a straight stick turns crooked in it. W. C. Fields Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away. Elvis Presley A great man's greatest good luck is to die at the right time. Eric Hoffer Somebody will always break your records. It is how you live that counts. Earl Campbell I like engineering, but I love the creative input. John Dykstra

It feels kinda weird being back in a high school cause I haven't been in

a high school for about a year. So um, it's kinda interesting coming back, and y'know seeing the lockers, with all the signs, the handmade signs, so being in high school again is a little bit strange but in a good way. Taylor Swift Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please. Mark Twain No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly. Oscar Wilde Every western I did and will do; I will do it for the never ending young kid inside of me. Franco Nero Nobody should hit .200. Anybody should hit .250. Charley Lau It's a full on job just looking for human social responsibility. Colin Greenwood If you could see the instructions that I gave Jerry to begin with, I'd be embarrassed. Tim LaHaye Skiing makes me feel great, and it gives my legs such an incredible workout. Joely Fisher I've been through Hell with some of the members of my old band, and Hell is highly stressful. Gary Kemp

Being healthy is a complete lifestyle for me. It allows my brain to function at

a very high degree so I can comprehend all the new things that are thrown at me. It also allows me to sleep well so that I am rested when I need to perform. Finally, being healthy will hopefully allow me to live a long and fun-filled life. Derrick Rose I have long believed that sacrifice is the pinnacle of patriotism. Bob Riley Honest men are the soft easy cushions on which knaves repose and fatten. Thomas Otway One encounter with Jesus Christ is enough to change you, instantly, forever. Luis Palau Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release. Germaine Greer The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you. B. B. King Conversation would be vastly improved by the constant use of four simple words: I do not know. Andre Maurois Throughout the day no time for memorandums now. Go ahead! Liberty and independence forever. Davy Crockett I grew up with the white

I love New York. I first came here with my Mom when I was in

9th grade. I took the subway for the first time and the doors closed between me and my Mom, and I was so scared. I could see her through the window and I didn't know what to do. I got off at the next stop and she caught up to me, but I couldn't stop crying. Skylar Grey A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent. William Blake However and wherever we are, we must live as if we will never die. Nazim Hikmet Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it. John D. Rockefeller When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil. Max Lerner Scientific knowledge is in perpetual evolution; it finds itself changed from one day to the next. Jean Piaget In terms of stories I would buy for a science fiction magazine, if they take place in the future, that might do it. Frederik Pohl I love to read aloud. Cornelia Funke God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve

This happens to a lot of kids from different backgrounds - they lose a lot

of their parents' and grandparents' teachings, language and culture because they have to deal with another language and culture 24/7. By the time I was 44, I was terrible at Spanish. I was always intimidated whenever I had to speak it. Erik Estrada I think he's Will 's partying a lot in Cabo. I think he's running a brothel. I don't know what he's doing. Bradley Cooper How did I get to Hollywood? By train. John Ford Everybody in their own imagination decides what scary is. Yvonne Craig A self-made man may prefer a self-made name. Learned Hand In truth, men speak too much of danger. Jose Marti The military don't start wars. Politicians start wars. William Westmoreland I suppose that's the European way, dangerous and hairy. Jason Statham It is another's fault if he be ungrateful, but it is mine if I do not give. To find one thankful man, I will oblige a great many that are not so. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I'm a light sleeper. I've never been one of those people who can put their

head down and suddenly everything disappears. Nighttime is the time I get most scared, anxious or worried. In those darker moments before waking or sleeping is when I feel most, I don't know, I can turn on myself, and my imagination can take me dark places. Florence Welch A key factor is to do training that is fun. Bill Toomey Nobody seems to play Yamaha electrics, but it's the best guitar I own. Daisy Berkowitz Literature is the denunciation of the times in which one lives. Camilo Jose Cela I don't love dolls. I love women. I love their bodies. John Galliano They talk of a man betraying his country, his friends, his sweetheart. There must be a moral bond first. All a man can betray is his conscience. Joseph Conrad To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization. Arnold J. Toynbee The first money I ever had was when I received an award from the American Association of University Women. Marguerite Young Reading furnishes t

When I was older and I first started working, I was obsessed with buying my

first Chanel jacket. I saved up my hard-earned money, went to Barneys, and bought a little black Chanel jacket. It saw many, many job interviews and many, many events. I'm not fitting into it lately, but I still have it. Nina Garcia A puppy plays with every pup he meets, but an old dog has few associates. Josh Billings If one swain scorns you, you will soon find another. Virgil The world is really figuring BSE out, and that's positive. Mike Johanns Our children are our greatest resource and Head Start grants help them reach their full potential. Christopher Dodd Rules are made for people who aren't willing to make up their own. Chuck Yeager Before deciding to retire, stay home for a week and watch the daytime TV shows. Bill Copeland I don't like giving names to generations. It's like trying to read the song title on a record that's spinning. Ian Williams The work in S, M, L, XL was almost suicidal. It required so much effort that our offi

I just try not to subscribe to the ways of celebrity. I'm not a celebrity,

I'm a working actor. A lot of the events - the parties and the premieres that people go to to get noticed - I'm just not into. I'll hang out with my friends, go see punk shows, read at home. At the same time, I have a production company, which is a lot of work. Milo Ventimiglia Be always sure you are right - then go ahead. Davy Crockett People in London think of London as the center of the world, whereas New Yorkers think the world ends three miles outside of Manhattan. Toby Young A fact in itself is nothing. It is valuable only for the idea attached to it, or for the proof which it furnishes. Claude Bernard As far as I'm concerned, I want to remain the mean little man I always was. Jack Levine The key to organizing an alternative society is to organize people around what they can do, and more importantly, what they want to do. Abbie Hoffman Pete Rose came over to the Phillies in '79 and he became the catalyst that helped us to put it all together.

For me, I'm always looking for opportunities to work with people who are better than

me, who are more experienced than me, people from whom I can learn. And who could I learn more from than someone with an unprecedented movie star career that has spanned over thirty years whose name is Tom Cruise? David Oyelowo My father had a varied ear, from Hank Williams to Ravel. Madeleine Peyroux In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves. Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton Although the troops have struck us, we throw it all behind and are glad to meet you in peace and friendship. Black Kettle We don't love qualities; we love a person; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as their qualities. Jacques Maritain Growing up, my favorite TV show was Star Trek. Casper Van Dien The movies were custard compared to politics. Nancy Reagan There's no such thing, you know, as picking out the best woman: it's only a question of comparative badness, brother. Plautus One great object of the Constitution was to restrain majorities from oppressing minorities

Culture and tradition have to change little by little. So 'new' means a little twist,

a marriage of Japanese technique with French ingredients. My technique. Indian food, Korean food; I put Italian mozzarella cheese with sashimi. I don't think 'new new new.' I'm not a genius. A little twist. Masaharu Morimoto I don't think Wisconsin should become known as a state where we shoot cats. Jim Doyle Really, life is complicated enough without having a bunch of Senators deciding what we should do in the privacy of our own homes. Barbara Boxer There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, till all men walk on higher ground in that lifetime. Maxwell Anderson Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity. Michael Korda There couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. They'd be dead in two weeks. William S. Burroughs It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill. Wilbur Wright Jogging is very beneficial. It's good for your legs and your feet. It's also

Sometimes, when you work with directors who have done it a lot and are established

in the business and know the game, there are all these rules that they have. First-time directors will allow you to come in with choices. They're not so jaded by actors that they're like, 'Ugh, just do your job, man.' Jake Johnson We became the songs we wrote. Barry Mann Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day. Jim Rohn To be honest, I think for part of my late teens my character didn't really develop very much. I was in a state of cold storage. Damon Hill Like it or not, the people of Arkansas sent me to Washington to represent them in this great body. Mark Pryor A hard beginning maketh a good ending. John Heywood The Catholic faith never changes. But the language and mode of manifesting this one faith can change according to peoples, times and places. Francis Arinze I'll play with a hundred pieces or do a solo job. Teddy Wilson Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the

I was taught to do math and read at the same time. So you're six

years old, you're reading 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' and it becomes rapidly obvious that there are only two kinds of men in the world: dwarves and Prince Charmings. And the odds are seven is to one against your finding the prince. That's why little girls don't do math. Emily Levine The waste of plenty is the resource of scarcity. Thomas Love Peacock Most of the model consolidation we've done is behind us. There will be some fine tuning. Rick Wagoner Always do everything you ask of those you command. George S. Patton Basically that was the moment when I thought I'd like to do this forever. I never changed my mind. Treat Williams I'm not really a morning person. Steve Burton You know, I've been attending so many banquets that I know what they're going to serve before I get there. Knute Rockne Men who like women rarely fall in love. Robin Skelton You're going to have to surrender a little bit to the contrivance of

Some movies, I think, present ideas of the world that just don't help people with

their lives. They just present things that are fleeting or stupid. So that's what I'm careful about - making sure I'm part of something that is saying something that I think is valuable in the world of people, not necessarily in the world of art. Alden Ehrenreich A well-composed book is a magic carpet on which we are wafted to a world that we cannot enter in any other way. Caroline Gordon The superior man acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity and many deeds of the past, in order to strengthen his character thereby. John Milton A man who lives, not by what he loves but what he hates, is a sick man. Archibald MacLeish Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus. David Hockney The fool who persists in his folly will become wise. William Blake The idea of human rights as a fundamental principle can be seen to underlie throughout Islamic teachings. Ali Khamenei Each individual is unique. We all have equal worth

China in particular is an absolutely fascinating place to be. Culturally and politically and economically

it's becoming more and more relevant. If you look at how China is perceived in different parts of the world, you can recognize it's very dynamic. It's also challenging what it thinks of itself. Jan Chipchase O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling and scatter there Thy cheerful beams. Saint Augustine Fair peace becomes men; ferocious anger belongs to beasts. Ovid Measure your mind's height by the shade it casts. Robert Browning It is a way we reassess our past. We can do that in poetry in ways we can't do in prose. Peter Davison I hate complacency. I play every gig as if it could be my last, then I enjoy it more than ever. Nigel Kennedy Men shut their doors against a setting sun. William Shakespeare I've been through some dark times but I've experienced joy too. Now that joy can't be suppressed. Michelle Shocked Poverty is an anomaly to rich people; it is very difficu

My success has been something I've worked a long time at and it's been a

gradual process. I compare it to the idea of someone losing a lot of weight over a period of a few years. You don't really notice the weight loss overall but if you compare photos from then and now there's a big difference. Ray William Johnson A leading authority is anyone who has guessed right more than once. Frank A. Clark Every one goes astray, but the least imprudent are they who repent the soonest. Voltaire Never give in and never give up. Hubert H. Humphrey Most government officials are rushing headlong to solve the problems of 50 years ago, with their ears assailed by the sound of snails whizzing by. Eric Johnston Part of growing up is just taking what you learn from that and moving on and not taking it to heart. Beverley Mitchell Hate and force cannot be in just a part of the world without having an effect on the rest of it. Eleanor Roosevelt The constitutions of Maryland and New York are founded in higher wisdom. Ezra Stiles I think England will

I admire many actors, though I don't think there's anyone whose career I would want

to mirror sort of by the beats. What I'm really looking to do is constantly defy expectations. I'm very curious to see if you can actually have a character actor and a movie star's career combined. David Oyelowo I don't want to die in a car accident. When I die it'll be a glorious day. It'll probably be a waterfall. River Phoenix And I spoke out on women's rights, like equal pay for equal work. Karen Morley Faith is a continuation of reason. William Adams I liked to read but, being a dancer, I didn't have a lot of time to read. Suzanne Farrell Whatever is not commonly seen is condemned as alien. Iris Chang Without game, men prey on each other. Perry Farrell It requires more courage to suffer than to die. Napoleon Bonaparte It's a fairly recent thing but I've become very fond of making drinks myself. Utada Hikaru

The records in the house I really remember were, well, Glen Campbell's 'Wichita Lineman' and

'Galveston.' Even as a kid, I knew these songs were glorious. My dad also had records by Merle Haggard, Charley Pride, Waylon Jennings, and then there was also the Eagles and Don Henley. Anything Texas, which includes Don Henley, was big. Keith Urban It is said that love makes the world go 'round - the announcement lacks verification. It's wind from the dinner horn that does it. O. Henry Here's to democracy. May we get the government we deserve. Rick Mercer It wasn't until late high school and early college that I gained enough size and skill to make me welcome on intramural basketball teams. Paul D. Boyer Because I could take this as an opportunity to create something that I pretty much guarantee nobody else was going to create in film. Shane West God is love, but get it in writing. Gypsy Rose Lee And Kinsey thought that anybody who defined themselves based on their sexual acts was limiting themselves. Bill Condon I don't care what stag

I've never forgotten what it's like to be in your early twenties, which is not

a particularly easy time. You've left your family, you've left the strictures of high school, and you're trying to break free and form yourself but you have to support yourself as well. We don't really give enough credence to that time of life and to its troubles. Julia Leigh The world is too much with us; late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours. William Wordsworth But the God of the Bible is not only One, but the only possible One. Leo Strauss You become a better writer by writing. You become a better travel writer by writing about travel. Tim Cahill The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones. Wendell Willkie I believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality. M. Russell Ballard See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Robert Collier I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with Guess on it. I s

Women are wonderful, but they get so caught up about their body. We need to

unhook from worrying so much. When I don't feel good, I look in the mirror and think I look fat and miserable. But when I feel good and whole, I'm not worried about my body because I'm living in it. It doesn't become an object. Natalie Goldberg I can explain that shot. Arnold moved his wallet to the other pocket. Ben Crenshaw You can't predict a show, that is the damndest thing, you can't predict if a show is going to work or not until it's on the air. Aaron Spelling To be perfectly just is an attribute of the divine nature; to be so to the utmost of our abilities, is the glory of man. Joseph Addison It is the nature of truth to struggle to the light. Wilkie Collins In war there is no prize for runner-up. Lucius Annaeus Seneca The mind uses its faculty for creativity only when experience forces it to do so. Henri Poincare Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it. Thomas Jefferson There is nothing mor

I wish I could view the belly that oozes over the top of my pants

as a badge of maternal honor. I do try. I make sure that the women whose looks I admire all have sufficient fat reserves to survive a famine, and I make a lot of snide comments about the skeletal likes of Lara Flynn Boyle and Paris Hilton. Ayelet Waldman Destroying rainforest for economic gain is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a meal. E. O. Wilson But I hope that you walk around the corner and you get very surprised. Miranda Richardson You read a book from beginning to end. You run a business the opposite way. You start with the end, and then you do everything you must to reach it. Jessamyn West If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools. Katherine Mansfield Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are. Arthur Golden There's so many things that we could do. Ashley Olsen Getting out of the hospital is a lot like

For the first time since 2007 there is political momentum behind fixing the immigration system.

President Obama in his State of the Union speech reached out to the right-wing by saying illegal immigrants seeking citizenship will have to pay taxes, learn English and get in line behind people who are trying to enter the United States legally. Juan Williams It was only when I moved to New York that I realized tall is good. Kristen Johnston But once in a while you might see me at In and Out Burger; they make the best fast food hamburgers around. Thomas Keller It is harder to preserve than to obtain liberty. John C. Calhoun You've got to realize that any lady on a soap is devoting her life to it, 24/7. Joan Van Ark Agitate! Agitate! Ought to be the motto of every reformer. Agitation is the opposite of stagnation - the one is life, the other death. Ernestine Rose A good listener is usually thinking about something else. Kin Hubbard The common faults of American language are an ambition of effect, a want of simplicity, and a turgid abuse of terms. James F. Coop

You can go out and find ways to make your own record and get it

out there now. If you really want to, you can be heard. Keep things simple. Learn to go out and play solo. That's a really really good thing to learn, if you're a singer-songwriter. Don't be dependent on a band because you may not always be able to afford one. Steve Earle We should silence anyone who opposes the right to freedom of speech. Boyle Roche Two weeks, maybe three. You never know with psychosomatic injuries You have to take your time with them. Jim Palmer Every dance is a kind of fever chart, a graph of the heart. Martha Graham The fame of heroes owes little to the extent of their conquests and all to the success of the tributes paid to them. Jean Genet To my father, business was the highest calling, but to my mother, medicine was the top profession. William Standish Knowles A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know. Lord Byron Television has tremendous power over our lives. Julie Nixon Eisenhower Shane

Whenever I hear someone describe something as a 'kids movie' or a 'family movie,' it

immediately has a negative connotation in my mind because I think, 'Well, as an adult, I wouldn't go see it by myself, because it's purely for children and it holds nothing for me and it's simplistic and it's kind of easy.' Steve Carell I was a quiet teenager, introverted, full of angst. Nigella Lawson Note that I am not proposing that AI research be ignored or less funded. Vernor Vinge The appeal all too often is to the gallery, hungry for sensation. Otto Hermann Kahn If the staff lacks policy guidance against which to test decisions, their decisions will be random. Donald Rumsfeld In a rational society we would want our presidents to be teachers. In our actual society we insist they be cheerleaders. Steve Allen See how many are better off than you are, but consider how many are worse. Lucius Annaeus Seneca There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world. It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher. Henry Van Dy

Gemeoss

My uncle inspired me, and it was because of him that I become a wrestler,

but besides him, the one Superstar that really caught my attention growing up as a kid was 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.Rey Mysterio It's clear that Planned Parenthood went out of its way to paint me as some sort of a zealot - a Trojan-horse zealot who came into Komen and within 10 to 11 months had completely turned the place upside down. That's clearly not who I am, and it's not what happened.Karen Handel Once you become president, you don't even have to stop for red lights. And if it looks like traffic's too bad, you just take a helicopter.H. W. Brands From Julia Child to 'The Galloping Gourmet' and the Food Channel and Cooking Channel, our fascination with the spectacle of cooking has been a mainstay of TV entertainment.Chuck Norris I want to love. I want to enjoy life.David Cassidy The mistake we made in the 1990s was overestimating the potential of NAFTA's positive impact.William M. Daley I was set to confront the might of the

Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform,

or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value. Anita Roddick The physical fabric of the world had to be such as to enable that ten billion year preliminary evolution to produce the raw materials of life. Without it there would not have been the chemical materials to allow life to evolve here on earth. John Polkinghorne I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I'm worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don't, I gave it all that I had to this game. Rafael Palmeiro I'm pleased the administration is endorsing the need for legislation dealing with the chemical sector. In the past, the administration's position has been ambiguous. Susan Collins When I was 12 years old, I was hanging out with 23-year-olds. I was into cartoons and Pokemon, and they're all talking about girls. It was a strange way to grow up. Shaun White I read everything. I've always got a b

The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet

a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character. Emma Goldman We had every kind of audience you could name. Young, old, not-so-old, some older than old, some younger than young: they were there, they were there! There was everything. John Hunter Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it. Aaron Carter God is not disillusioned with us. He never had any illusions to begin with. Luis Palau Genre is a bookstore problem, not a literary problem. Rick Moody We are the recorders and reporters of facts - not the judges of the behaviors we describe. Alfred Kinsey Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People. Benjamin Disraeli

One of the worst things about being an actor, besides people being nice to you

and getting free stuff all the time - but really, one of the worst things is not knowing what's coming next. You could shoot a pilot, and they could have you on hold for six months waiting to find out what is going to happen with the show, and you're locked into it. Nick Kroll What, I sometimes wonder, would it be like if I lived in a country where winter is a matter of a few chilly days and a few weeks' rain; where the sun is never far away, and the flowers bloom all year long? Anna Neagle Of course there have been times I regretted being the kid in 'E.T.' My world went completely crazy. I was that stupid kind of famous, where you can't go anywhere. Henry Thomas A lot of the stuff I have done had been not only the likable guy, but like the nice likable guy. Ron Livingston It doesn't have to be a problem for children to be fat, but it does affect you: you aren't as happy in that skin. Harry Melling They always want me to play myself and th

What we don't talk about enough is Ohio's unique and remarkable quality of life. We

are a state of cities, small towns and growing suburbs where life is affordable and destinations within reach. There is no better place to raise a family. Bob Taft We must always remember with gratitude and admiration the first sailors who steered their vessels through storms and mists, and increased our knowledge of the lands of ice in the South. Roald Amundsen Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn't work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach. Roger von Oech Moving from Wales to Italy is like moving to a different country. Ian Rush Apply yourself both now and in the next life. Without effort, you cannot be prosperous. Though the land be good, You cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation. Plato I haven't collected memorabilia. I am not a person who lives in the past. Yvonne Craig No, I do it all, but I do love to play solo. Bruce Hornsby

I've become wary of interviews in which you're forced to go back over the reasons

why you made certain decisions. You tend to rationalize what you've done, to intellectually review a process that is often intuitive. Peter Weir With this first novel, I am just above the foothills, but I see the path to the top, and it is my desire to write compelling stories about everything that I find of interest. Guy Johnson Even though the vast majority of my work was outside television, the amount of creation and inventing that went into the TV shows was non stop and, unknown to me, a great strain. Paul Daniels Black women, whose experience is unique, are seldom recognized as a particular social-cultural entity and are seldom thought to be important enough for serious scholarly consideration. Barbara Smith I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it. Michael Phelps Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there

I'd say I'm a bit antimadridista although I do not know where my future will

be, but it's a team that I never liked. I get the impression that it is an arrogant club, about how the players are. Without humility, you cannot get anywhere. Isco I'm very big on doing my own thing. Rob Kardashian When I was younger, I definitely did face anti-ginger prejudice. As a child, all teasing hurts, whether it's because you're fat or a different race or have red hair. I had enough comments from a couple of people to make it a sore point. Lily Cole I think people like to see a little larceny in their heroes. James Garner I spent my childhood watching every scary movie that Hollywood ever made. And I think that gave me the best education for storytelling. It also made me want to reproduce the scary moments that I felt, sitting in a theater at the age of 5. Tess Gerritsen Movies are extremely imitative of one another. Whatever works, people will try to do it. Octavia E. Butler Women are liked better when they lose. Gloria Steinem Our TV and

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.

In a hyper-capitalist environment dominated by media giants, the means available to independent journalism have

narrowed considerably. Nayef Al-Rodhan I wasn't a bad kid. My dad left when I was young, so I didn't have much discipline, not that I'm making excuses. I was always out and about and had a good time as a kid, so I've done alright. Danny Dyer I think I just stick to eating a well-rounded diet. I don't cut out anything; if I crave something, I eat it. But I definitely try to stick to a balanced diet always. Martha Hunt If I had been in President Obama's shoes, I would have acted more decisively and strongly against ISIS. Rand Paul Me and heels are very good friends. Emilia Clarke The conscience can be a strong guide in life if we allow it. Joyce Meyer Horseracing and ranch horses are two different animals. You're getting race horses out and running and running them. It can be really problematic. A thoroughbred's very delicate. Dennis Quaid I do value the respect I get from my contemporaries, but to have Oasis cover my song, to have Puf
