The court has to decide which of our approved desires has the better claim, right

here, right now, and a court has to do more than read fairly when it makes this kind of choice.
David Souter

That I may have the soul-life, the soul-nature, let divine beauty bring to me divine soul.
Richard Jefferies

We're all flawed people at the end of the day; I don't know any perfect people.
Michelle Monaghan

Presented with the claims of nineteenth-century racist anthropology, a rational person will ask two sorts of questions: 'What is the scientific status of the claims?' 'What social or ideological needs do they serve?'
Noam Chomsky

North Korea is probably the only country in the world deliberately kept out of the Internet.
Barbara Demick

My mom was on a soap opera for 40 years, so I know about love and romance.
Corbin Bernsen

I had so much fun playing songs from 'Based On A True Story...' and getting to see the crowd's reaction to those songs was unforgettable.
Blake Shelton

I don't think the spirit of Hollywood is such a spirit of generosity. I think people really begrudge giving. In New York, it's like that.
Sam Simon

If you want the meaning of families and life and religion and philosophy rolled into one package, all you need to read is 'The Brothers Karamazov.'
Charlie Trotter

I believe that we all have a responsibility to give back. No one becomes successful without lots of hard work, support from others, and a little luck. Giving back creates a virtuous cycle that makes everyone more successful.
Ron Conway

You can make people feel valued or cared for by design alone. It's not purely

about money. It's about how we choose to value human experience.Thomas Heatherwick I do a big roast of Trump during my set now - which I clearly expanded on - because there's so much to make fun of him about now.Lisa Lampanelli A vaccine that prevented tuberculosis would merit a Nobel Prize, but it's just very difficult to develop.Tom Frieden I go through the same kind of situations as other people. I have to give that to people, because people have this facade, this mirage, this mirror about me.Tory Lanez The wild thing is that when I'm in the band, I can control my destiny with four other guys. As a composer sitting in the audience, you can throw good vibes at everybody, but you can't control anybody's destiny, so it's really unsettling.David Bryan I'm an actor, and I don't judge my parts.Swara Bhaskar As a competitor, you want to be out there in the fire with your teammates.Brock Osweiler We wish to be treated 'not as ordi...

I'm very fortunate to have spent so much time in the industry and to have

lived through several generations of filmmakers, actors and technicians. There's a huge volume of experience seeing people change and seeing content change. Amitabh Bachchan It's a rule to give all, and it can make the difference if you work more. If you don't have to give all, and you still win, what's this? Jurgen Klopp Outside football, I just love life, you know. We're lucky to play football, to have all this body. Everyone's watching us. You see how many people, they come and watch the game. It's unbelievable, you see how many people they come. They shout your name and just enjoy life. Paul Pogba Innovation is a game of numbers. How do you get enough ideas into the pipeline? Shari L. Ballard 'Monty Python And The Holy Grail' is a hugely important movie to me. I remember watching it for the first time on cable when I was about 13 years old. James Gunn I know what it is to be out entertaining millions and yet wanting to be home beca...

When it came to 'Binge,' it wasn't my intention to get on a little soapbox

and have a teaching moment. It was more, 'Here are things that have happened to me; here's what I've learned from it. If you'd like to learn from it too, great; if you just like the entertainment aspect, that's fine too.' Tyler Oakley I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist. Carine Roitfeld Being fired from a show - being fired in any way, in any instance, any business - is just hard. Kathleen Rose Perkins Just as many people flee Hollywood as those who flock to it. Hollywood can be an acquired taste. Shawn Amos I kind of liked the idea of filming musicians. I could like a musician and know, at the same time, maybe nobody else maybe liked them much or appreciated them. D. A. Pennebaker I believe in glamour. I am in favor of a little vanity. I don't rely on just my genes. Iman Dickens is always full of surprises. Claire Tomalin A musician's whole life is to listen. Wynton Marsalis ...

Blushing is thought to be linked to increased levels of norepinephrine in the brain, which

may be associated with romantic feelings. It signals that we are interested and excited, which is attractive to men. Helen Fisher There are two contrary impulses which govern this man's brain-the one sane, and the other eccentric. They alternate at regular intervals. Franz Schubert I also eat fruit instead of drinking juices. That's something I've read up on. I think that if you drink a lot of fruit juice you take in way too much sugar. You'd be better off eating a bunch of strawberries or apples. Kris Humphries History can bring luck: this is what we can call optimism. Stephane Hessel I want to bring more gymnastics on television. Shannon Miller Better not to exist than live basely. Sophocles I don't miss acting at all. Zachery Ty Bryan I was born in the USA, which many people still find hard to believe. Cesar Romero There's no mystique to acting. It's only common sense - and a bit of courage. Bill Hunter Life has a higher end, th...

The postdoc explained to me how to distinguish different sorts of particles on the basis

of the amounts of energy they deposited in various sorts of detectors, spark chambers, calorimeters, what have you. Eric Allin Cornell What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease. Jean Paul Principles are a dangerous form of social dynamite. Katharine Anthony There are no friends at cards or world politics. Finley Peter Dunne Fear is the mother of foresight. Thomas Hardy Taking something from one man and making it worse is plagiarism. George A. Moore Headlines twice the size of the events. John Galsworthy You must continue to gain expertise, but avoid thinking like an expert. Denis Waitley

The very first time I was on a car in Atlanta, I saw the conductor

- all conductors are white - ask a Negro woman to get up and take a seat farther back in order to make a place for a white man. I have also seen white men requested to leave the Negro section of the car. Ray Stannard Baker We must be willing to pay inspiring math and science teachers, who have high paying alternatives in industry, more to teach and reward students who take more challenging courses in high school. Mark Kennedy I like dialogue in novels. I wanted to avoid laying history on with a trowel - appearing to be lecturing, as opposed to the characters lecturing their children or students. Dialogue can humanise the story and make it go down somewhat more smoothly. Elliot Perlman The worst of the action films are the ones where everything is one shout from beginning to finish. And there's no differentiation between beats, like small or big, or quiet or expansive. It's all just one loud shout. Shane Black I wish to assure you that there can never be any return t...

And I don't have to listen to a sermon to know what to think or

feel about them. It's almost as if I absorbed completely what mattered most to me, and the rest could go. Anna Quindlen Think of all that hard work our founding fathers put in - the revolutionizing, the three-fifths compromising, having to write the entire Constitution with a quill - and yet they neglected to include the right to vote. Mo Rocca I was so afraid to even read a paper in front of my classmates. It is very funny because at that point my teachers would never have believed that I could speak in front of an audience of over 2,000 people. Petra Nemcova When I went in, my editor said, 'I hope you don't think you're a writer.' And I said, 'I hope you don't think I'm a journalist.' And, uh, turned out we were both right. Julia Cameron I always used to say hybrids would rule the world - people who have an understanding of many cultures and can relate to them with ease. And then along came Obama. Danai Gurira For weeks after 9/11 yo...

When someone fears losing your affection, he or she will strive to keep it. Perhaps

you have strived to keep someone's affection, too. Fear of loss is not love. Gary Zukav I'm doing a lot of stand-up, but not like when you're living in New York and you can do three sets a night and it's your life, and you sleep all day and you wake up and you eat with a bunch of other comics and then get ready for the night. Sarah Silverman I want to write more books, see my first novel made into a film, fight more campaigns, work in more countries. I want to be able to recall experiences that have endured for their pleasure and range and intensity. Alastair Campbell We need fundamental change. In the past, national development led to people's happiness but now the link between national growth and improvement in people's lives has been severed. Park Geun-hye I went through a lot of bullying early on. Girls made my life a living hell. We had come to America from a different country. My brother and I had accents. It was very tough. Nicki Minaj Pain...

I don't story board. I do something else, which is, I block it. We then

train to the blocking. In other words, when everybody's training, they're actually training a lot of the moves that we are definitely going to use, and then, I do a lot of photography of that, and that becomes where the cameras go. Michael Mann It is very important that our young people have constructive early work experiences. But it is equally important that their jobs are safe and complement their education, rather than complete it. Alexis Herman I was put under contract. A major studio. I got nominated for an Academy Award. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, at the age of 18! Angela Lansbury I am shy by nature, a person who's always found something burdensome about human interaction and who probably always will, at least to some degree. Caroline Knapp I like to look at the glass half full. Abdullah II of Jordan I'd like to get more bit-acting roles. I don't know if my talent would allow for a long dialogue, but I could definitely knock out three l...

If you've developed an ideology that what's good for you personally also happens to be

good for everyone else, that's quite wonderful because there's no moral tension. Chrystia Freeland They're taking away the arts programmes in the schools, and that's a terrible thing. Savion Glover I love to stay at home and write. Jack Antonoff The path chosen by Barack Obama and the Democrat Party is the road to 'small-c- communism' - and the important thing to understand is that they are quite happy with that choice. Tom Tancredo I am definitely romantic, and I love romantic stories - that's why I keep making romantic movies. Felicity Jones When I work on stories, I tend to lose sight of everything else. I forget to pay bills or to shave. I don't change my clothes as often as I should. David Grann I'm so sick of people shaming women for being sensitive or vulnerable. It's so bizarre to me... I do have those qualities, and I just don't think there's anything wrong with them. Winona Ryder Fame in itself is, you know....
