Though suffering and trauma are not identical, the Buddha's insight

into the nature of suffering can provide a powerful mirror for examining the effects of trauma in your life. The Buddha's basic teaching offers guidance for healing our trauma and recovering a sense of wholeness.
Peter A. Levine

Simon Cowell is a pretty rough guy.
Jon Gruden

I think the whole policy of pre-emptive war is a serious, serious mistake.
Walter Cronkite

Bitcoin is complex: the entire private and public key issue, the transfers, the mining of bitcoins... but if you tell it as fiction, people would understand and remember.
Ravi Subramanian

It was fantastic to win the title with Leicester.
Claudio Ranieri

Really, I have no idea how I'm perceived in the industry.
Daniel Kaluuya

I am not a cult director at all. I make Hollywood movies.
Sydney Pollack

Once you are on court, it doesn't matter the way you look. It doesn't help you win points.
Ana Ivanovic

I'm not going to have a six-pack abs. I think it's a luxury to have six-pack abs, but I don't think I can afford it yet. It's extremely tough, and I think having it will be an achievement.
Harshvardhan Rane

I spend my life mostly disproving conspiracies.

'The September Issue' is really a film about Anna Wintour's relationship with long time 'Vogue'

Creative Director Grace Coddington. The two of them have been working together for two decades, and the extraordinary symbiosis between them has left an indelible mark on the fashion industry. R. J. Cutler People in startup-land live inside it. They see themselves as really good people even when they're doing something that's very bad. There's a huge disconnect from reality in the tech world. Daniel Lyons I really want to see good health care brought to all the people of Alabama at a reasonable cost. Robert J. Bentley I have no desire to run for public office. Alec Baldwin I'm saying to you that one of the great characteristics of the great American, the American people, is our historic ability to be straightforward, plainspoken, say what we mean, and mean what we say. Lou Dobbs If you have an Ina Garten-level roasted-chicken recipe, it's a game changer. I bring that to dinner parties and make a lot of friends. Meghan Markle My family went to the H...

I remember sitting one time doing 100 interviews in a day, and they're all television

interviews and they're kind of - and you just sit there and they bring these people in and out, and in out. Macaulay Culkin I can be at my house sitting there making music alone, and every single time I've ever done that the first thing I do when I'm done, no matter if it's 4 in the morning... I literally just pick up my phone and I call someone. Benny Blanco The hijab, or sikh turban, or Jewish skullcap are all explicit symbols, but they do not represent a threat or affront to others, and have no bearing on the competence, skills and intelligence of a person. Randa Abdel-Fattah People think I'm a freemason, and I'm not. People think I believe the end of the world is coming on 21 December 2012, and I don't. Graham Hancock I guess after college, I just got really into food. I also think going on the road doing stand-up makes you more into food. Because when you travel like that, one of the things to do is find really good places to eat. Aziz Ansa...

Amazon is pursuing something called Amazon Key, which lets its couriers unlock

Prime customers' doors and deliver packages. It's pairing the service, which it plans to make available in 37 cities next month, with a camera so users will have intelligence inside and outside their homes, presumably boosting trust and lowering creepiness. Adam Lashinsky War is no picnic. Wars should be prevented, and if you can't prevent them, you have to put them off. Ehud Barak In India, we are forced to choose our specialisation very early, whereas in some other countries, this can be done much later in life. While the British have abandoned this approach, we in India seem to be struggling with the old British system of education. Anand Mahindra Institutions are better served by going direct to end users, establishing a channel for direct dialogue and feedback. It is a world of many to one, not one to many. Richard Edelman I've always been a little left-of-center at school. Katherine Langford From when I can remember, I wanted to be an actress. I am a die hard fan...

My advice to the average investor in 1988 is to be patient and think long-term.

It will take 18 months for confidence to get better and, in the meantime, this is absolutely no place for short-term money. Louis Navellier The beauty of Judaism is that it demands we ask questions, especially of ourselves. Edgar Bronfman, Sr. I am impressed with the belief that our naval force ought not to cost more in proportion than the British. In some things they may have the advantage, but we will be found to have equally great in others. John C. Calhoun I was told by so many people that I wouldn't succeed because I was too different. Ironically, the very reason that people watch my channel and travel thousands of miles to see a show... is because it's different. God didn't send us to Earth to just blend in. We are here to share what makes us unique. Lindsey Stirling If a portion of a redwood is rotting, the redwood will send roots into its own form and draw nutrients out of itself as it falls apart. If we had redwood-like biology, if we got a touch of gan...

Social media reactions to celebrity death have taken on a predictable pattern: an outpouring of

shock with expressions of grief, followed by a ghoulish need to know all the details, to see the scene of the death and the family in mourning. Then a post-mortem dissection of all the perceived flaws the celebrity had. Jennifer Armintrout I am extremely proud to have the surname Ambani. I am proud to be a Gujarati, and above all, an extremely proud Indian. Anil Ambani My favorite memory is Tomorrow. Tomorrow's family moments are what I look forward to every day. No single favorite. Just Tomorrow. Nigel Barker I've never watched an entire episode of 'American Idol'. It's too mean. Christina Aguilera I was at a picnic, and there were a lot of songwriters. I remember praying, 'God I wish you would give me a song.' About five minutes later, my ears popped, and I saw everybody in slow motion. Nobody knew what I was experiencing. Andrae Crouch I think I was affected quite a bit by musical and creative influences that go all the way back to my child...

Since September 11, security has been increased everywhere, and we have new IDs to get

on to the Fox lot. I drove to the security gate, but realized I'd left my ID in my other car. I just broke into that voice - 'Hey, man, I'm Bart Simpson. Who else sounds like this?' The guard waved me through. Nancy Cartwright I'm Canadian, but no, I don't speak French. Cory Monteith My parents didn't believe in luck. They believed in hard work and in preparing me to take advantage of opportunity. Like many parents, they taught me to be generous but never to depend on the generosity of others. Naveen Jain I didn't grow up with a mother, so I don't have that resource to rely on and ask a million questions. Vanessa Minnillo Probably a few weeks after I was born I started having casts put on my legs to straighten them out. After that corrective shoes and with a brace in between. Kristi Yamaguchi I am extremely shy. I am not happy in crowds of people. Glenn Close As a Christian, I think it's really important to find a man of God to trust ...

I don't like to use the words 'real women,' honestly. I like to use the word 'woman.'

And I say that because there are so many women out there who are naturally thin or are naturally curvy, and I think when we start putting a label on the type of woman, it gets misconstrued and starts to offend people. Ashley Graham I was at St. Louis's very first tea party and stood across the mighty Mississippi on the Arch steps with a bunch of wide-eyed, virgin protesters who were just as shocked as I was to see the amount of people who had assembled. Dana Loesch I think you always carry a little bit of your character you've ever played with you. And I hope I'm able to carry some of Mrs. Maisel with me. Rachel Brosnahan Beautiful things can happen when you act intuitively and instinctively in a moment of anxiety and do something radical. Wangechi Mutu I don't think it's good to interact with people with a certain agenda in mind. Park Bo-gum Ever since they announced that golf would be returning to the Olympics, I thought, 'Hey, I wanna get myself on the team....

It is impossible to strive for the heroic life. The title of hero is bestowed

by the survivors upon the fallen, who themselves know nothing of heroism. Johan Huizinga We can think so much about life and take ourselves so seriously; I mean, I like to tell people, 'Don't take life too seriously' because you'll cloud the experience. That's what the meaning of life is to me - being able to enjoy the moment. Janine Shepherd Music tells no truths. Philip James Bailey Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles. Kim Wilde It is a waste of money to help those who show no desire to help themselves. Taylor Caldwell I don't think there's any way we can save the polar bears. Will Steger A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out. George Bernard Shaw Depriving yourself will, ironically enough, lead to rebelling and weight gain. Bethenny Frankel I used to play drums when I was a kid, play the trombone. Dolph Lundgren The Europeans must now honor their commitments. That is the position that F...

America's downgrade may serve as a wakeup call for its policymakers. It is an unambiguous

and loud signal of the country's eroding economic strength and global standing. It renders urgent the need to regain the initiative through better economic policymaking and more coherent governance. Mohamed El-Erian My father is a college professor and that's about the extent of my college experience. I'm sort of a professional student forever. I think just as human beings we always have a student who is alive in us and is waiting to pop up and make us feel like we are 16 years-old again. Gabriel Mann I was shy. I was painfully shy, until fifth grade when I transferred to another school and befriended the class clown. And one day he was sick and I kinda stepped in for the class clown and I said, 'Wow, this is exciting, I'm a little bit nervous.' Nathan Fillion The process of writing a novel is getting to know more about the novel until you know everything about it. And it's been described as a kind of dreamlike state where you're letting the nov...

As a member of a competitive team, you want to make sure you have yourself

ready to play. You don't control anything but what you do. Joe Torre I can tell you from personal experience it gets a little tiring having to make the rounds on cable shows to explain 'what's up with black folks.' John Ridley We try to entertain first, advertise second. When you find out that it's sponsored, we've already won you over. We try to make it obvious that the brand has made it better. Charles Lincoln Neal As I started college, I started to build software products that I could sell to people over the Web. Jon Oringer In my world view, clearly the Internet is a huge force multiplier for Indian media because it has not crept up on us like something invisible; we've seen it all play out in the West. Raghav Bahl So many people are like, 'I'm perfect.' I'm so imperfect; that's why I'm able to let everything out and let people see everything. 'Cause I'm just a mess like every other person that's a mess ...
