This boy is dead now, I knew it before taking him in my arms, I can remember his face, his suffering, his voice.
I want to do more action adventures and more romantic comedies.
Maria Bello
The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.
Confucius
My dad knows how to tell a story. He'd make me laugh by doing all the different voices.
Lily Collins
There have been only 268 of the past 3,421 years free of war.
Will Durant
If military movies were automatically successful we'd make nothing but military movies. But seriously, patriotism is one thing that all Americans have in common.
Tommy Lee Jones
It is long since I could have adventured on eternity, through God's mercy and Christ's merits but death remained somewhat terrible, and that now is taken away and now death is no more to me, but to cast myself into my husband's arms, and to lie down with Him.
Donald Cargill
Smatterers in learning are the most opinionated.
Samuel Richardson
I played a lot of sports when I was a kid so I get in that ballgame mindset of being really, really respectful, but at same time saying to yourself, 'Don't back down a single inch, hang with these guys if you can.' If they throw it high and tight you have to stand in there, you can't take yourself out of that moment.
Michael Keaton
I just want to lobby for God.
Billy Graham
What I'm concerned about is endless borrowing, which is going to compromise our economy not only today but in the future. Because we know the decisions we make right now really dramatically impact us in the future, and the debt is literally getting out of our control.
Paul Ryan
So long as you don't feel life's paltry and a miserable business, the rest doesn't matter, happiness or unhappiness.
David Herbert Lawrence
Jenna's traveled with me they've both traveled with their dad. This is the only time they've been old enough in all of their dad's campaigns to really be involved in.
Laura Bush
My type of humor is almost pure identification. A housewife reads my column and says, 'But that's happened to ME! I know just what she's talking about!'
Erma Bombeck
In these days a man is nobody unless his biography is kept so far posted up that it may be ready for the national breakfast-table on the morning after his demise.
Anthony Trollope
American Idol transcends age, gender, ethnicity, everything.
Carrie Underwood
The building of the architecture of a novel - the craft of it - is something I never tire of.
John Irving
...gratitude is a debt which usually goes on accumulating like blackmail; the more you pay, the more is exacted. In time, you are made to realize that the kindness done you is become a curse and you wish it had not happened.
Mark Twain, Autobiography
Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.
John Henry Jowett
I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.
Alice Walker
I loathe gardening, but I love gardens, and I have two beautiful gardens. I can not bear gardening, but I love gardens.
Elton John
You don't have to be religious to have a soul; everybody has one. You don't have to be religious to perfect your soul; I have found saintliness in avowed atheists.
Rabbi Harold Kushner, The Lord I
Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted--a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.
Rabbi Harold Kushner
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Mother Teresa
Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West,From North and South, come the pilgrim and guest,When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his boardThe old broken links of affection restored,When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye?What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?
John Greenleaf Whittier, The Pum
I can see how a relationship with a writer would be an easy thing.
Jeff Bridges
Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
G. K. Chesterton
Suppose we were able to share meanings freely without a compulsive urge to impose our view or conform to those of others and without distortion and self-deception. Would this not constitute a real revolution in culture?
David Bohm
We fight a lot, you know, but that's family. We may be dysfunctional but we're still family.
Star Jones
It is the nature of ambition to make men liars and cheats, to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths, to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.
Kenneth Tynan
The only thing I know of whose shortened form — www — takes three times longer to say than what it's short for.
Douglas Adams
I got politics and economics moving and then others took over.
Lech Walesa
I must first know myself, as the Delphian inscription says; to be curious about that which is not my concern, while I am still in ignorance of my own self, would be ridiculous. And therefore I bid farewell to all this; the common opinion is enough for me. For, as I was saying, I want to know not about this, but about myself: am I a monster more complicated and swollen with passion than the serpent Typho, or a creature of a gentler and simpler sort, to whom Nature has given a diviner and lowlier destiny?
Socrates, Plato
A people free to choose will always choose peace.
Ronald Reagan
No One Is Alone by Stephen Sondheim is all about thinking for yourself and being your own person.
Bernadette Peters
It is better to be quotable than to be honest.
Tom Stoppard
Responsibilities gravitate to the person who can shoulder them.
Adele's amazing, I think the world of her and her music and I think Tinie Tempah is cool. To work with someone like Kanye West would be awesome.
Joe Jonas
I don't think I can be expected to take seriously any game which takes less than three days to reach its conclusion.
The bad end unhappily, the good unluckily. That is what tragedy means.
It is only when we no longer compulsively need someone that we can have a real relationship with them.
