Without peace and without the overwhelming majority of people that believe in peace defending it,

working for it, believing in it, security can never really be a reality.
Hussein of Jordan

After my mother died, I found, a little book of hers which recorded everything I had ever done, how I had done it, and how proud she was of her son Conrad.
Conrad Veidt

Make a living will. Talk about it. Death is going to happen to everybody. Write it down. Even if you write it on a piece of paper at home and have your family witness it, you need to write it down.
Michael Schiavo

However, I was a restaurant critic at Chicago magazine before I worked at Esquire, and I've been a really enthusiastic home cook for a long time. It's just something I'm passionate about.
Ted Allen

I'm a sexually liberated woman that earned that liberation. I am very proud of the fact that I feel comfortable in certain forums discussing sex.
Gennifer Flowers

She knew what all smart women knew: Laughter made you live better and longer.
Gail Parent

Life is about rhythm. We vibrate, our hearts are pumping blood, we are a rhythm machine, that's what we are.
Mickey Hart

Don't talk to me about a man's being able to talk sense; everyone can talk sense. Can he talk nonsense?
William Pitt

What Ireland needs now above all else is peace.

Women have to harness their power - its absolutely true. It's just learning

not to take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner. Cher Though I had success in my research both when I was mad and when I was not, eventually I felt that my work would be better respected if I thought and acted like a 'normal' person. John Forbes Nash, Jr. Strong advocacy for education, health care and worker safety will be indispensable if they are to get their fair share of President Bush's austere budget for the next fiscal year. Arlen Specter There was absolutely no intention of splitting up. We had so many great ideas to use on the new album. John Paul Jones was incredible, coming to the studio each day with new instruments to play. John Bonham I think I'm a people person. I get very attached to people. And I've become so attached to all the people on my show, the cast, the crew and the producers. Victoria Pratt Who ever said that pleasure wasn't functional? Charles Eames Beauty and folly are old c

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

A common pickpocket trick is for the operator to carry a shawl or overcoat carelessly

over the left arm, and to take a seat on the right side of the person they intend to rob in a streetcar or other vehicle. Harry Houdini With an audience it's now, there are no editors around. It's just me and the audience and it's what I like best. Rik Mayall I've always seen 'Y' as an unconventional romance between a boy and his protector. It was always about the last boy on Earth becoming the last man on Earth, and the women who made that possible. Brian K. Vaughan I've always driven big SUVs. I'm from Maine, and there's a point to driving a big SUV in Maine. I don't really need a 4WD in L.A., but on the 405, people are crazy, and you need a tank. I like the visibility factor. Rachel Nichols I'm a believer in what your record is. I am what my record is - some of it good, some of it bad, some of it hard to tell. Dan Rather Stem cell therapy has the potential to treat a multitude of diseases and illnesses, which up until now ha

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

My background was producing and writing and performing in television when I started out, and

I really missed that, that whole creative process that comes from sort of 'me' storytelling. Eric Bana When I first did 'The Fast and the Furious', I didn't want there to be a sequel on the first one. I thought, 'Why would you rush to do a sequel - just because your first film is successful?' Vin Diesel Put every light you have on a dimmer. Because after a certain age, we can play with the lighting and set it on how you look best on it. It's cheaper than plastic surgery. Bryan Batt I love that there's this tradition of being able to discuss the heaviest topics and the gnarliest stuff that goes down in people's lives in traditional Southern American music. Gillian Welch We repress the things we're scared of, but if we just look at and embrace the things we're scared of, it's a much fuller, richer life that's also not as scary. Gary Ross I was aware that the teaching of drawing was being stopped almost 30 years ago. A

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

After my kids were born I found myself incorporating my photography into different art endeavors

and from there it just blossomed. I have always had to have an outlet for my creativity and when my life became more about raising my family than the bright lights of show business exploring my photo art was a great outlet for me. Angela Cartwright Those who have happy homes seldom turn out badly. Daniel H. Hill A man does not know what he is saying until he knows what he is not saying. Gilbert K. Chesterton When one must, one can. Charlotte Whitton Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill. Buddha I mean being a writer is like being a psychoanalyst, but you don't get any patients. Al Alvarez Most of my mail comes from young people. Richard Wilson The use of methamphetamines has become pervasive in our country, and especially in rural areas. Collin C. Peterson I have made as much out of myself as could be made of the stuff, and no man should require more. Jean Paul

The only thing I want to be known as is a country singer. I want

people to hear it and go, 'That's country!' Chris Young I'm the third generation of my family in the film business, and I grew up with a deep passion for movies. I made my own Super 8 films when I was a kid and always loved the editing process. Christopher Rouse Most people think glamor is happiness. Peter Falk When I started picking out music for myself, I was a hip-hop kid. DMX, The Roots, Outkast, people like that. Mike Posner My favorite show is 'Parks and Recreation.' Kerris Dorsey My father gave me some advice when I was very young - whatever someone tells you in the future, don't forget Pele is the best. Jurgen Klopp The reality is for 50 years in this country, federal law has required people that are illegal - or that are immigrants - or that are legal immigrants to this country to carry documentation to that effect. And that has been the law for 50 years. Trent Franks Whenever I start an acting job and talk to my fellow actors,

I take for granted that for the imaginative writer, the exercise of the imagination is

part of the basic process of coping with reality, just as actors need to act all the time to make up for some deficiency in their sense of themselves. J. G. Ballard I've always been into dressing nicely. My dad's really into fashion, also. We'll always go out and buy stuff. He has his own style and I have my own style, but it's a shared thing. Same thing with my grandfather; he was really into his style, so it's just sort of been passed down, I think. Patrick Schwarzenegger The earliest known writing probably emerged in southern Mesopotamia around 5,000 years ago, but for most of recorded history, reading and writing remained among the most elite human activities: the province of monarchs, priests and nobles who reserved for themselves the privilege of lasting words. Tom Chatfield You imagine that, going into such a huge American series, you will come up against a lot of egos, but it was the complete opposite on '24,' a dream team. Emily Berrington

I try to learn from Falcao, and Manu Riviere as well - his movement is

excellent - it's really good for me. I need to work on my movement and my finishing, but seeing these guys on a regular basis gives me a benchmark. Anthony Martial I started my journey with 'Dooba Dooba.' Mohit Chauhan As a Fox News Channel contributor, I've learned most of the tips over the years: look into the camera like it's a good friend; pull your suit jacket down and sit on it so it doesn't bunch up; and most importantly, never, ever say anything while sitting in that studio that you wouldn't want someone else to hear. Mike Gallagher With these big Wagner pieces, if I haven't started three years before, I'm screwed. You need time to look at the piece again and again and again, and then, like some fantastic casserole or spaghetti sauce, put it back in the fridge and let the flavours get together. Simon Rattle 'Madden' is the closest thing to actually being on the field yourself. It's so ridiculously realistic. Before I p
