What we're doing is making sure that we have a safe and secure border region from San Diego all the way to Brownsville. And that means manpower, it means technology, it means infrastructure, it means interior enforcement. All, you know, kind of layered in appropriate ways, and making sure, like I said before, the border is safe and secure.
Janet Napolitano
Space is the stature of God.
Without the spiritual world the material world is a disheartening enigma.
My wife and I have so much fun when we travel and find anything... like stray cats and squirrels.

Stevie Nicks
The passions of the young are vices in the old.
Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.'
Ani DiFranco
A man will do more for his stubbornness than for his religion or his country.

Laura Hillenbrand
The proof of gold is fire...
Benjamin Franklin
My nature just changes.
Jimi Hendrix
Journalism is concerned with events, poetry with feelings. Journalism is concerned with the look of the world, poetry with the feel of the world.
