Britain has a Terrorism Act, which has within it a portion called Schedule

7, which is quite unique. What it is is it gives officials the ability to detain people at the border as they go in or out or even transit through the country.
Sarah Harrison

I was born in Columbia in 1954, the year the Supreme Court invalidated racial segregation in public schools. I visited frequently but did not live there.
Randall Kennedy

I would argue that education, actual learning - it is hard work. It's very personal. Your parents don't teach you anything. Your teachers don't teach you anything. The government doesn't teach you anything. You read it. You don't understand it; you read it again. You break a pencil and read it again.
Dean Kamen

From 1945 to 1991, China was engaged in a series of wars that nearly broke them. This generation has been through hell: the Great Leap Forward, hunger, starvation, near collision with the Russians - the Cultural Revolution gone mad. I have no doubt that this generation wants a peaceful rise.
Lee Kuan Yew

I think bare legs in winter are idiotic. Unless your naked pins are toned, tanned and veinless, it's best to cover up. There is nothing more elegant in winter than dark tights worn with matching knee-length boots and a belted trench coat.
Joan Collins

I'm a very impatient person. I love dancing, I love music, and I love eating life.
Natalia Tena

It's human when you get the sense that somebody likes you or is attracted to you - unless you're just completely repulsed by the person - I find that my first reaction is to entertain the idea.
Tara Lynne Barr

Name your nation-state, or tribe or party - you have to rationalize what you're doing. You have to go to sleep at night. Does Dick Cheney sleep at night? Does he sleep like a baby?
Martin Donovan

I come from Nigeria, and we live by the idea that it takes a village. So my entire team. I live by my team: my friends, my neighbors, my teachers - they're the people who taught me how to be a free actor.
Uzo Aduba

It's high time for a fresh European alternative to enter the market, taking the existing Internet behemoths head on. What the world needs now is a cloud storage service that is not subject to uncontrolled access by intelligence agencies.

There may be no issue that better illustrates the differences between Republicans and Democrats than

energy. Consider it the 'all of the above' strategy for reducing gas prices, versus the 'all pain, no gain' plan for punishing those who emit carbon (like you). Roy Blunt I don't believe in 'thinking' old. Although I've transitioned through many bodies - a baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, mid-life and older adult - my spirit is unchanged. I support my body with exercise, my mind with reading and writing, and my spirit with the knowing that I am part of the Divine source of all life. Wayne Dyer The spiritual (i.e. the supersensory) has many degrees; thus, the term 'spiritual' is used both for the scale of degrees away from the physical towards the spirit, but also only for the spiritual proper. Piet Mondrian I always say: 'If I'm lucky enough to be given the opportunity to work again, that's it, I'm being wheeled on, sitting on a sofa, and someone's going to feed me grapes, and I'm not getting up.' Mic...

I have hundreds and hundreds of people from Brazil, Chile, Columbia and Argentina,

every day, buying my music and telling me about it online. Gabrielle Aplin The best way to look stylish on a budget is to try second-hand, bargain hunting, and vintage. Orlando Bloom It's actually the minority of religious people who rejects science or feel threatened by it or want to sort of undo or restrict the... where science can go. The rest, you know, are just fine with science. And it has been that way ever since the beginning. Neil deGrasse Tyson To ask a country with 750 million people living on less than a dollar a day to optimize their development for the environment as opposed to getting food in the mouths of these people and giving them a decent lifestyle, that's just a little bit too much to ask. Thomas P.M. Barnett I try to get away from the pits as quickly as I can. I speak to my engineer when I get out of the car, usually there's some press to do, then I will go off and have a shower and get my dry, clean overalls and clothing on. I'll have ...

I checked myself out in that funeral parlour scene. I saw myself laughing, because there

was a shot of Ed and I together and Mary was right in back of us. My head turned from the camera and I saw myself laughing, because Mary was absolutely brilliant in that thing. Gavin MacLeod It's funny, when I'm not on the road or doing stuff with Bad Company - or whatever- I've always written songs galore... a lot of stuff people don't even hear. Mick Ralphs Once you get yourselves into things that are working on a deeper level, you just have to keep going. When you reach that deeper level, you can't go back. Matt Stone I am making amends and seeking forgiveness. My only hope is that some good can come out of my situation. Jayson Blair We're not perfect. We're a work in progress. But man, America has gotten a lot of things right. Donna Edwards The world is starving for a new spiritual truth - a truth that works in sustaining life, not a truth that brings an end to life. Neale Donald Walsch Along the borders to Ethiopia and Somalia, anarchy...

People may have found it difficult to approach me, and I realised it and have

worked on it. I used to be socially shy. Now I have become a social animal. I go out, meet and interact with people. Shahid Kapoor I started writing my own plays, and I would sell out, but after everything was said and done, I'd break even. That's being successful. Steven Michael Quezada The general commanding congratulates his troops on their brilliant and successful occupation of Roanoke Island. The courage and steadiness they have shown under fire is what he expected from them, and he accepts it as a token of future victory. Ambrose Burnside China and India are friendly neighbours. We are also natural partners. Both of our countries stand for amicable and peaceful relations between countries and a multipolar world. The peaceful and friendly relations between our two countries is a blessing not just to Asia, but to also the whole world. Li Keqiang Children are free moral agents and have a right to be exposed to a range of beliefs well beyond the rigid doctrinal co...

Theo van Doesburg wanted to teach in the Bauhaus in 1922. I refused, however, to

  appoint him since I considered him to be too aggressive and too rigidly theoretical: he would have wrought havoc in the Bauhaus through his fanatic attitude, which ran counter to my own broader approach. Walter Gropius I'm surprised how many people are into vinyl. Stephen Morris The first time I went to Cannes, Gus Van Sant was there in competition with 'Last Days.' Justin Kurzel My goal is to make a movie that no one would sort of expect me to make. Anya Taylor-Joy One of the depressing things one realizes as one gets older is how much of one's tastes and attitudes are simply products of economic circumstance at the time. Nick Hornby We worked with Max Martin's team, MXM, who are the best in the business as well. We worked with Stargate, which was phenomenal, and Victoria Monet. Ally Brooke I was going to go to a midnight screening of 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure' in college, and it's the sort of thing where people dress up. So I got dressed up, and t...

If you're getting different prescriptions from different doctors, there has to be some sort of

check and balance in there somewhere. Nikki Sixx I glory in the fact that a human being has multiple talents and exercises them all with a degree of integrity and artistic proficiency. That's what I do. Theodore Bikel In surveys, many borrowers say reverse mortgages have improved their lives and provided money they needed for retirement. Charles Duhigg I don't want to disrupt anything. We never conceive of our products as disruptive - we don't look at something and say, 'Let's disrupt that.' It's always about how we can evolve this and make this better. Evan Spiegel People get numbed when they see picture after picture, year in and year out, of people starving. Iman I love 'Die Hard,' man. It's the best. Reid Carolin In a weird way, if you look at all the 'Apes' movies, they all seem like different stories in the same universe. 'Beneath the Planet of the Apes' is definitely a continuation, but the other ones jump...

In business, every phase of things counts. Companies that just yell out a low price

today to win business aren't going to make money in the long term. Zhang Jindong California's drought affects everyone in the state, from farmers to fishermen, business owners to suburban residents, and everyone has a role to play in using precious water resources as wisely and efficiently as possible. Frances Beinecke I do think 'Gogglebox' is extraordinarily insightful, and I think if politicians want to understand how we are viewed at home, it's quite recommended viewing. David Cameron I always feel compelled to lend my voice to things I strongly believe in. Keri Hilson It's never easy getting an independent film made and distributed - even when it's easy. Paul Dinello Those who elected Hamas in Palestine did so on the basis of its political platform. Hassan Nasrallah Everyone wants quick deals. They don't want to invest. Dan Gertler It is a rule of international law that weapons and methods of warfare which do not discriminate be...

There are many individuals, companies and even countries operating in what I call a 'me

first' mentality, which is effectively a purely competitive approach to life, treating the planet as if it has infinite resources and pitting one country against another for supremacy. Simon Mainwaring Religiosity turns out to be the best indicator of civic involvement: it's more accurate than education, age, income, gender or race. Jonathan Sacks I'm very good at delegating - people work much better when they have a real sense of responsibility. But at the same time, I don't like surprises. I don't pore over every shoot, but I do like to be aware at all times of what's going on. Anna Wintour Art is the close scrutiny of reality and therefore I put on the stage only those things that I know happen in our society. Edward Bond All too often the Democratic Party has taken the black vote for granted, and all too often the Republican Party has written it off. Jack Kemp Honestly, most of the stuff I made for 'TV on the Radio,' I write in the stu...

When I finish a picture I don't show it to anyone if I feel it's

not good enough yet. I've learnt to listen to my partners and my friends. For me it's the biggest success if they like it. Marilyn Manson My message to kids who bully other kids is: You know it's wrong! What's really going on? Try not to make somebody else's life miserable because you are. Joe Nichols I love 'Harry Potter.' I love those books. That started because I lived with a woman who had kids who were, like, 10 and 7 when they moved in with me. Steve Earle The insurance companies aren't covering that. Should Monsanto be liable for these losses? Should the state government? Who's going to cover the losses? The fact is, here's an industry with no long-term liability in place. Jeremy Rifkin Insurrection by means of guerrilla bands is the true method of warfare for all nations desirous of emancipating themselves from a foreign yoke. It is invincible, indestructible. Giuseppe Mazzini Out of the simple consonants of the alphabet and...

When I talk football with my friends, I don't talk about Tom Brady's hair. I

talk about how he handles the blitz, or how he runs his offense. I talk as a fan. I don't want pink jerseys, and I don't want dumbed-down content. I want to be treated as a real fan - because I am proud to be one. Indra Nooyi Abandoned homes are everyone's problem, afflicting communities all over the state. Eric Schneiderman I know how to deal with jet lag, and I know just how much rest I need and when I need to take naps. When you walk on stage, you need your brain working at its highest and most fully-functioning, so it's not always easy, but I sort of figure it out. Joshua Bell It's all about being comfortable, being easy and having you be able to wear something and not having it wear you. It's classic. Every time I've tried to be bold and crazy, I feel like a Japanese animated cartoon character. Jennifer Aniston Silverstone is challenging, but it has a good feel. It's one of the quickest tracks of the year, with legendary corners like the...
