I wish I could go to the school where my close friends go, but I

obviously can't. The good thing is, they're really good about inviting me to all the football games and all that stuff. So I end up having an adopted team spirit for a school I don't go to.
David Gallagher

Our society is the product of several great religious and philosophical traditions. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans, Christianity, Judaism, humanism and the Enlightenment have made us who we are.
Jan Peter Balkenende

Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.
Andrew Jackson

There are kids out there that are into Iron Maiden and others who are strictly into industrial music, but they come for the same reason; they all like us and they different things out of the band's music.
Daisy Berkowitz

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work

by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him. Michelangelo The greatest problem all around the world today, whether in America, Japan, China Russia, India or anywhere else in the world, is that people are not in peace. People want peace. Prem Rawat Through selfless work, love of God grows in the heart. Then through his grace one realize him in course of time. God can be seen. One can talk to him as I am talking to you. Ramakrishna A wartime Minister of Information is compelled, in the national interest, to such continuous acts of duplicity that even his natural hair must grow to resemble a wig. Claud Cockburn I think she said I should seek help. Something like that, but it was in much cruder terms. And that I had a fascination with things coming out of people's mouths. Sam Raimi You know, if you're lucky enough to have two smash hit shows, the traffic of the world goes through your dressing r...

The natural movement of one's soul is upwards. But just as any object is dragged

down when a heavy weight is tied to it, the burden of the body drags down the soul. Vinoba Bhave It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son. Gertrude Stein Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day one should meditate on being carried away by surging waves, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease. Yamamoto Tsunetomo The awards world can be ridiculous, but I'm not one to bash it. I love awards! When I've been nominated for Emmys and when I won my DGA Award, I couldn't have been happier. I always liked getting a gold star in class. Paul Feig But in another, I think a woman's going to go into a shop to find a coat or a jacket and I just don't think she's not going to go into a shop because of a bad review she probably didn't even read. Marc Jacobs Baking is how you start kids at cook...

You know, we live in a time when if somebody wants to kill you, they're

going to kill you, and you can either go in a hole and, you know, pull the roof in over you, or you just continue putting one foot in front of the other and hope that you're doing some good in the world. Gene Robinson I grew up watching 'Superman.' As a child, when I first learned to dive into a swimming pool, I wasn't diving, I was flying, like Superman. I used to dream of rescuing a girl I had a crush on from a playground bully. Tom Hiddleston Honestly, when I had the idea to make 'An Inconvenient Truth,' and I was going out and raising the money, and I said, 'I want to make a movie about Al Gore's slide show, will you give me a million dollars?' People thought I was insane, looked at me cross-eyed. Lawrence Bender I came up from growing up with a lot of Catholic guilt, a lot of punk rock, hipster guilt in the later years where I think people have thrown a lot of things on me. Where I always felt like I'm not supposed to tell the horn ...

One of my first questions when I interview prospective employees is, 'Do you know how

big a sheet of plywood is?' Most people don't, and say they are different sizes, but it's 4' x 8'. Anyway, working with your hands is a very American thing that we kinda lost here, but it's an important skill to have. Casey Neistat The biggest and most interesting crisis in the world is the human crisis, and it never gets boring. It goes back to Shakespeare. You don't need a gimmick; it's just man against man and their intolerance of each other. Sylvester Stallone Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care. And that's the story that we're not seeing, and it's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out of children wedlock. Mike Huckabee I much prefer being told off by Brendan Rodgers than by my wife. Brendan is more careful than my wife with what he says. Luis Suarez Some of my battl...

I think of basset hounds whenever I turn on my computer because I have photos

of them. And if I'm lucky, and I see one on the street, I know it's going to be a good day. They really are like a four-leaf clover. Julie Klausner The reason that Americans have not been able to see the great strategic benefit that could accrue from a closer relationship with Iran is emotion. Stephen Kinzer I love rings, but I can't wear them. I mean, look at my knuckles. My fingers and joints are so swollen from years of playing. That means no wedding band, either. Luckily, I have a very understanding wife. Justin Tuck Many objects of our three-dimensional perceptual world are not only chiral but appear in nature in two versions, related at least ideally, as a chiral object and its mirror image. Vladimir Prelog You can't underestimate rest. Sometimes in tennis we don't realize that to rest your body is as important as it is to practice. We are traveling so much, all year, in different conditions, different courts, different surfaces, different balls - ...

Women are clearly the major consumers in far more than just female categories. It doesn't

matter whether it is purchases of cars, cosmetics, or even products for men, female consumption power is the leading consumption power in the world. Any company that overlooks the woman as the decision maker is making a huge mistake. Andrea Jung Politics goes in one ear and out the other. I don't even know the president's name for sure. That's how stupid I am. Brian Wilson Even though some in our government may claim that civil liberties must be compromised in order to protect the public, we must be wary of what we are giving up in the name of fighting terrorism. Lucille Roybal-Allard We will often talk to Liz Smith about couples and relationships because she always has an inside track, too. Mary Hart People have the power to redeem the work of fools. Patti Smith I'm definitely a practicing Hindu. Julia Roberts In the 21st century, I think the heroes will be the people who will improve the quality of life, fight poverty and introduce more sustainabilit...

When I was 14, in Cuba, I met Fidel Castro with my dad, and it

was really impressive. And on a totally different level, I met Justin Timberlake! Dylan Penn I have family members that are bipolar. Trai Byers I'm a reluctant writer of non-fiction, in part because I don't really feel qualified. William Gibson The mark of all good art is not that the thing done is done exactly or finely, for machinery may do as much, but that it is worked out with the head and the workman's heart. Oscar Wilde I became fascinated by the fact that people write to give away rather than write to be read. It's the difference between playwrights and novelists. David Suchet People sometimes ask me to name the greatest coach in NFL history. George Halas may have set the standard, but Don Shula has won more games than anyone, and he has done it in the most competitive era. He had an incomparable ability to evaluate players, to motivate them, and to teach them the game of football. Marv Levy I just believe if you don't believe in God, then ...

Dancers use their bodies in extraordinary ways, so we are chronically pre-arthritic, because of how

we use our muscles and our bones. Judith Jamison I have always admired women that have a strong sense of self, complemented by femininity. I especially appreciate the presence of these women in traditionally male-dominated industries, such as real estate. Ivanka Trump They're trying to put data centers in cold environments because they're actually generating so much heat now; they're using up so much electricity. Rick Smolan We're all used to seeing pretty people. I want to see real people. Amy Sedaris The type of thing that one person would get mad at, another person would laugh at, is a good kind of zone to be in. Nathan Fielder I love performing in front of people, no matter where they come from or what language they speak. Juanes My father has always been interested in discarding the past. He's never much liked China or the whole idea behind China or Chinese ways of thinking. He's always been much more attracted to American ways of thinking...

Certain people are just saying, 'Look, I'm a businessperson and I have to run a

business effectively and I want people who are going to do the job, who have the training and the education and the personality traits - the soft skills.' William Julius Wilson I keep two sentimental mementos on my desk to remind me of two favorite men. There is an inkwell that my Uncle Seymour made, a brass grotesque he mounted on a marble base. And my grandfather's shaving cup is there, used to store pencils and pens. Scott Turow I kept on buying records and listening to them. Finally, I was able to hear the relationship between the jazz improvisers' solos and the underlying structure that it's based on, the chord progression. That was pretty easy to do in the swing era, y'know, when jazz was, like, pop music, you know. It had made the charts and everything like that. Harvey Pekar Anytime there is a new, interesting space that comes along, there are a bunch of companies that enter the market. Trip Adler There's no way in the world that the United S...

The writing is really important in books that affect me. I read for

the writing. The story is usually of less interest to me. It's the words that break your heart. James Salter Every view, and every object I studied attentively, by viewing them again and again on every side, for I was anxious to make a lasting impression of it on my imagination. Karl Philipp Moritz Some people come alive at night. I'm hopeless by 9 p.m. Coffee and Cadbury buy me an extra half hour. Often I can't get my clothes off I'm so far gone. Emily Mortimer People who say, 'Let the chips fall where they may,' usually figure they will not be hit by a chip. Bernard Williams In America today, the percentage of children and adolescents who are defined as overweight is more than double what it was in the early 1970s. Lois Capps Life is not about making dough or how many movies you can make in a year. It's about finding someone that you can share things with. Freddie Prinze, Jr. Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so...
