The Supreme Court has insulted you over and over again, Lord. They've taken your Bible

away from the schools. They've forbidden little children to pray. They've taken the knowledge of God as best they can, and organizations have come into court to take the knowledge of God out of the public square of America.
Pat Robertson

I rely on a lot of green drinks to get my vegetables.
Tim Tebow

But, finally, I just realized a few years ago that this is where I belonged. I mean everything I had was invested here, emotionally and every other way. And the country had invested enormously in me.
Robert MacNeil

Do not allow watching food to replace making food.
Alton Brown

I'm half-Japanese, so I collect toys, like a Yayoi Kusama stuffed pumpkin.
Nicola Formichetti

I love connecting with readers!
Sylvia Day

In global warming, I think everyone is scratching their heads - are there technological things that can be brought to bear that can make a difference?
Paul Allen

Sometimes I worked with just a background of a rock or a tree or black velvet, and just had to imagine the whole thing.
Fay Wray

I am not always happy with the compliments Estonia has received.
Lennart Meri

They just think I'm a white dude. Every once in a while someone thinks I'm Jewish. I get a lot of stuff, but never Latino.

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...

The U.S. has been living in a situation of excesses for too long. Consumers were

out spending more than their income and the country was spending more than its income, running up large current-account deficits. Now we have to tighten our belts and save more. Nouriel Roubini We spend our spare time taking care of little things. I can watch a little bit of college and professional football if I want to... Our favorite pastime is trying to take pictures of our hometowns from space. Kevin A. Ford I get along great with directors, but I think some producers would tell you I'm a pain. They may say I'm tough to work with, but I have a great passion for what I do. I believe in fighting for it. Amy Irving I was born on the eighteenth of December, 1935, in the town Bourg-en-Bresse, about thirty miles northeast of Lyon, the second of three sons of Jeanne and Jean-Victor Pepin. Weighing only two and one half pounds, I nearly died at birth. Jacques Pepin Anytime someone says your God is ugly and you release your God and join their God, there is no hope for y...

It's nice coming to Nashville, and we have four-bedroom house and a dog, and we

go swimming a lot. We get down here and spread out a lot, and I miss my sweet tea and my cornbread and my good southern cooking - but I'm down here eating pretty for two weeks and I'm ready to go back to New York City. Justin Townes Earle I hope everybody will go back to the negotiating table. I've always said this is the only way forward. Mohamed ElBaradei I'm the type of artist who touches people, that's the type of artist that I am. Jacob Lusk Writing is a fine therapy for people who are perpetually scared of nameless threats... for jittery people. William Styron Comedy wasn't something I chose - it chose me. Pauly Shore When I heard Aretha, I could feel her emotional delivery so clearly. It came from down deep within. That's what I wanted to do. Whitney Houston When I see old photos of me on the beach I don't look too bad... but it's hard trying to breathe in for such a long time when I spot the photographers! Gary Lineker St...

The really cool challenge of '24' was learning on camera how to be a dramatic

actress. The biggest difficulty was the industry side of things. I was very lucky that I had Joel Surnow, one of the creators of '24,' in my corner. Early on, the Fox executives couldn't believe that I was on the show. Mary Lynn Rajskub For a child, reading a book can be such an intense experience. Michelle Paver I definitely do want a family. The idea of being a father and providing the type of love, guidance and support that my parents have given me is definitely down the road. Ryan Kavanaugh I think most co-directors and co-writers just hold hands. Jim Rash You can't observe as much if you're observed by others. Chevy Chase You gotta have a pocket square, I think. Ric Flair There's a final exam in venture every four to six years. The scary thing is you need to get an 'A' in every discipline. You need to be on generational planning, need to be on great deal flow, need be on great outcomes, you need to be on great company building. Da...

Intimacy is a wonderful thing. It's frustrating that growing up I thought it was wrong.

It isn't. Exploring your sexuality is important when you're growing up. Amanda Seyfried My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. It's in the education business. Nicholas Negroponte You know, 'Mad Men' is notoriously secretive with its plotlines, even with exposing them to actors on the show. Alison Brie In every jurisdictional area that I can get my fingers on, I want to move us away from the Washington insider economy. Jeb Hensarling I can improve it a little bit. But it's my head, it's the way I am. So at the end of the day, I will be who I am and I will win how much I can win. Marat Safin The Beatles, the Small Faces and the Kinks were great bands, but that was in the '60s. Gavin Rossdale I can't control how people are going to react. I try not to worry about what I can't control. Aidan Quinn I'm a compulsive musician, but it's also a bloody good way out of having to do anything else. Al...

I remember my brother Nash had just directed me in 'The Square,' and I was

sitting in Australia going: 'No one's called me about working for ages. I don't know if I'm ever going to get another job.' Joel Edgerton For me, being a starter doesn't matter. Of course, I'd like to be in at the end of the game, to be a big part of the team, and to play as many minutes as I can play. But starting and coming off the bench are two different challenges. Sue Wicks Now while the German money is over for Hollywood, I still have $80 million to make movies, and we will have two things coming up: less major movies and the price for actors will go down. Uwe Boll They put chains on me; they chained my waist, my legs. Put me in the back of a squad car, and I literally blacked out. I didn't even - there's whole pieces missing. Jim Bakker Obama has been attacked repeatedly for not wearing a flag pin, with Republicans claiming that his patriotism is in question. It's all a bit silly. Will Thomas I understand why people achieve ...

The harsh cold and windburn from hours of skiing does a lot of damage to

my skin, so I try to keep my skin as moisturized as possible. Mikaela Shiffrin One of the first times I came to New York was for a modeling and talent competition, IMTA, which I won. I came with a group, like a modeling school from Fresno. Christopher Gorham If I had one singular galvanizing ambition in life, I would try to reverse engineer toward it, but I don't. Chelsea Clinton When you don't know how to cook, you just say, 'I need something quick,' and then you fry something up. Now that I cook, I think, 'Do I want to have fried fish, baked fish, or grilled fish?' Larry Fitzgerald My parents, they're the kind of people that didn't want me to get a big head, so they just kept challenging me and challenging me. Abby Wambach We should remember that bearing a heartfelt testimony is only a beginning. We need to bear testimony, we need to mean it, and most importantly we need consistently to live it. We need to both declare and live our testi...

The reason is that they define how I have gone about my business.

I have trusted to intuition. I did it at the beginning. I do it even now. I have no idea how things might turn out, where in my writing I might go next. V. S. Naipaul People who can pull you in and take you on a journey, as opposed to simply adding flash. Again, that feels very clinical, and I don't respond to that the way I used to. Bill Sienkiewicz To me, it's all about opening all the doors and getting people to be not only prolific, but creative and having control of their music. Eric Brown We favor the economic unification of Germany. If complete unification cannot be secured, we shall do everything in our power to secure the maximum possible unification. James F. Byrnes The Establishment Clause prohibits government from making adherence to a religion relevant in any way to a person's standing in the political community. Sandra Day O'Connor Though knowledge itself increasingly ignores boundaries between fields, professors are apt to organize their pe...

The public is upset. If they haven't lost their job, they know somebody that has.

If they haven't lost their house, they know somebody that has. What do you do? When something's wrong, it's government's job to fix it, it must be government that's responsible for causing it. Michael Bloomberg People who are pierced should not be snickered at, should not become the object of ridicule, should not be singled out for special and uneven and unequal treatment. They should be respected just like everybody else. Gloria Allred Usually when I'm making a movie, what I have in mind first, for the visuals, is how we can stage the scenes to bring them more to life in the most interesting way, and then how we can make a world for the story that the audience hasn't quite been in before. Wes Anderson Yoga is the settling of the mind into silence. When the mind has settled, we are established in our essential nature, which is unbounded Consciousness. Our essential nature is usually overshadowed by the activity of the mind. Patanjali You can rest...
