Eighty percent of our life is emotion, and only 20 percent is intellect.

I am much more interested in how you feel than how you think. I can change how you think, but how you feel is something deeper and stronger, and it's something that's inside you.
Frank Luntz

Who so loves believes the impossible.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

It takes a very deep-rooted opinion to survive unexpressed.
Jean Rostand

There comes a time in the seeker's life when he discovers that he is at once the lover and the beloved.
Sri Chinmoy

I like to hit it downhill, that's the way I was taught to run.
Jamal Lewis

I can still fit into my Battlestar Galactica costume!
Dirk Benedict

The things that I draw on, and the world that I feel part of, aren't particularly youth culture.
Robert Wyatt

To anger female voters in America is to tread on the tiger's tail. Women turn

out in huge numbers, and they are well aware of how their bodies work and what they need. Henry Rollins We have to be bold in our national ambitions. First, we must win the fight against poverty within the next decade. Second, we must improve moral standards in government and society to provide a strong foundation for good governance. Third, we must change the character of our politics to promote fertile ground for reforms. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Conflict is always fun to play. Autumn Reeser I'm really a normal person. Dakota Johnson Growing up as a child actress, there was much I got to do and yet so much that I missed out on. Therefore, when I had kids, I made it a point to make sure that they could do anything and everything that they dreamed of. A great education was definitely right at top of my list! Kim Richards I did vote Obama. But I've never believed in the authenticity of the two-party system. Marilyn Manson Sailing is a big outlet for me. It's

At the risk of appearing disingenuous, I don't really think of myself as 'writing humor.'

I'm simply reporting on the world I observe, which is frequently hilarious. Richard Russo I had people in my life who didn't give up on me: my mother, my aunt, my science teacher. I had one-on-one speech therapy. I had a nanny who spent all day playing turn-taking games with me. Temple Grandin We need to honor our troops who served and show our support by giving our men and women who served the best health care, the best educational opportunities, and the best job training available. They deserve nothing less. Barbara Lee I love my baby more than anything. He's like a Gerber baby. He's the cutest baby in the whole world. Bristol Palin I love a sandwich that you can barely fit in your mouth because there's so much stuff on it. The bread should not be the main thing on a sandwich. Adrianne Palicki Obviously, I like to write stories that are page-turners. But I always try my very, very hardest to be as factually true as possible. Jon Ronson My parents

I'm an expert witness in a case that's in appeal about a guy who allegedly

misappropriated source code from a major, major company - he actually worked there and then apparently they found it on his laptop later. Kevin Mitnick To succeed in life in today's world, you must have the will and tenacity to finish the job. Chin-Ning Chu The faster you go, the shorter you are. Albert Einstein I don't consider myself to be that radical a thinker. Steven Pinker I would just love once to be called sexy. Just because it would make me something other than cute. Jennifer Love Hewitt I'm a winner each and every time I go into the ring. George Foreman People always ask me, 'Were you funny as a child?' Well, no, I was an accountant. Ellen DeGeneres

I didn't have any expectations of what my family life would end up being like.

But I've been very blessed in my life to have a wife who loves me and supports me and is able to be in my band and travel with me. Josh Turner Getting to the Olympics was, has always been, my swimming dream since I was 8 or 9 years old. You know, right after I started swimming it was, 'I want to make an Olympic team. That's where I want to be.' Eric Shanteau I like to give dimension to shots inside action scenes. It's demanding because you have to rehearse a lot of things happening at the same time and frame all those things in a shot. But I feel like when you accomplish that then you've got a cool action scene. Jose Padilha Doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican in Michigan. We want jobs in Michigan. Debbie Stabenow Sampling, statisticians have told us, is a much more effective way of getting a good census. Rob Lowe As his vice president for eight years, I learned more from Ronald Reagan than from anyone I encountered in all

The more consciously democratic Americans became, however, the less

they were satisfied with a conception of the Promised Land, which went no farther than a pervasive economic prosperity guaranteed by free institutions. Herbert Croly The Tea Party was born out of the disgust many Americans felt early in the financial crisis upon learning that the federal government was even contemplating reducing the principal on some troubled mortgages. Mark Zandi For a long time I thought I could deal with my anger and hostility on my own. But I couldn't. I denied that it had affected me, and yet I was so frantic on the inside with other people: I needed to be constantly reassured. Kelly McGillis When I first got into the league, I tried to fit in. Now I don't care. Dwyane Wade Art is good, bad, boring, ugly, useful to us or not. Jerry Saltz Regis and I were inducted into the original Bronx Walk of Fame. Robert Klein I'd have to say Bali's my favorite place that I've visited. Christopher Meloni I don't know why people are

Do you need to train two hours a day? Probably not. The reason

why my celebrity clients have to train two hours a day is because their endurance level is so strong. For Madonna to get results and keep results, it's like a professional athlete training - she has to push harder. Tracy Anderson I really want younger audience members to see kids in their early 20's playing Frank's music and to be inspired to take things to a higher level themselves. Dweezil Zappa I do take very good care of myself, and I'm always in love. And by that I mean I have an appetite for life. I'm in love with beauty and things and people and love and being in love, and those things I think, on the inside, show on the outside. Gloria Vanderbilt He did once say the time to worry is when they stop writing about you but again I think that was pretty token of the coverage was very respectful, he rather resented the intrusions on his private life, but that was about it. Anthony Holden I believe that for lots of churches and religious institutions, t

I try to get closer to reality, to get close to the contradictions. The cinema

world can be a real world rather than a dream world. Michael Haneke You'll hear people say now, 'Oh, I don't want to see something in 3-D. That's wrong, because what they've seen is 3-D done poorly. Michael Bay Jeremiah is a most melancholy prophet. He wails from beginning to end; he is often childish, is rarely indecent, and although it may be blasphemy to say so, he and his 'Lamentations' are really not worth reading. Annie Besant I make pictures and someone comes in and calls it art. Willem de Kooning I don't mean to be funny. Yogi Berra If I end up hosting 'Joker's Wild,' please shoot me. Anderson Cooper The thought of dancing scared me. A lot. Because I have absolutely no aptitude for it. Daniel Radcliffe To know all is not to forgive all. It is to despise everybody. Quentin Crisp I take it to be a principle rule of life, not to be too much addicted to any one thing. Terence I love awards, especially if I get t

People naturally long for a bit of the wealth that is whorling all around them,

and if the work and education available to them won't get them closer to the comforts that they see others enjoying, the temptation to take shortcuts can be fierce. Katherine Boo I printed a list of Irish names from the Internet and my husband, Dave, saw Finley on the list. I really liked it but didn't want to scare Dave off with my enthusiasm. So I used a little reverse psychology and let him think it was his idea. Holly Marie Combs So I won an Oscar. It's amazing. I've got that for the rest of my life for a performance I am proud of. It nearly killed me. I am really proud of the film. That's it, moving on. Kate Winslet I say the same thing that I've said for decades now, which is: don't go over to Japan trying to change it, thinking that you know better. Go there trying to understand. Bruce Feiler I think it's linked to the realisation that we're not going to live forever and that the way of saying and the language become more important

I know from my own experience and from other

people in the business that when you come from a place where nobody knew who you were and then there is this sudden shift to where everybody now knows who you are, there's an adjustment that you have to make. Kristen Wiig The Four Seasons was making me popular in Britain, but EMI America had no interest in making that happen in the States, so I just had a classical career there. Nigel Kennedy I think I sort of blossomed, so to speak, around 17. I started to get hips and put on weight, which I was very happy about. And that's when I met this agent, who told me I had to lose 10 pounds. I said, 'You've got to be kidding me. I finally got it on - I'm not losing it!' Tricia Helfer I'm just taking one match at a time. Caroline Wozniacki I like to sing along to Annie Lennox and pretend to be as sassy as her. Sophie Thompson Let's be real: It's just TV; it's just entertainment. Chi McBride No plan survives contact with the enemy. Tommy

Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of

this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that's their gift. Denzel Washington We are confident that shared values of Wockhardt Hospitals and Fortis Healthcare will form the basis for our continued success in the future. Malvinder Mohan Singh Everybody, at some point in their life, has fallen down and not felt like getting back up, but you have to, no matter how difficult it is. Charlie Hunnam I make films about working class people. Taylor Hackford Chart positions aren't the be all and end all. Chris Lowe I think a lot of the stuff I'm playing now is crap. John Peel God is a spirit. A spirit is as much matter as oxygen or hydrogen. Orson Pratt Faulkner was almost oriental. I never got into Faulkner. Tom T. Hall Directing a movie is serious, it's not a joke. Fred Durst Poetry is a mere drug, Sir. George Farquhar
