The laughter of man is more terrible than his tears, and takes more forms
The divine right of kings may have been a plea for feeble tyrants, but the divine right of government is the keystone of human progress, and without it governments sink into police, and a nation is degraded into a mob.
Benjamin Disraeli, LothairGenera
My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.

The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.
John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 18
When women earn the money for the family, everyone in the family benefits. We also know that when women have an income, everyone wins because women dedicate 90% of the income to health, education, to food security, to the children, to the family, or to the community, so when women have an income, everybody wins.
Michelle Bachelet
We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

I really have to dance more often, and so I travel around. If I don't, I will crumble.
Rudolf Nureyev
Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way.
David Lynch
Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn't.
LeBron James
If only we could persuade galleries to observe a fallow period in which, for two months every other year, new and old works of art could be sold in back rooms and all main galleries would be devoted to revisiting shows gone by.
Jerry Saltz
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
Bernard Meltzer
We know not of the future and cannot plan for it much.
Joshua Chamberlain
Pastry is different from cooking because you have to consider the chemistry, beauty and flavor. It's not just sugar and eggs thrown together. I tell my pastry chefs to be in tune for all of this. You have to be challenged by using secret or unusual ingredients.
Ron Ben-Israel
It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic, by fashion.
Yves SaintLaurent
A good model can advance fashion by ten years.
Fashions fade, but style is eternal.
I knew the youthfulness of the sixties: Talitha and Paul Getty lying on a starlit terrace in Marrakesh, beautiful and damned, and a whole generation assembled as if for eternity where the curtain of the past seemed to lift before an extraordinary future.
An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?
Michel De SaintPierre
Feminism is a political mistake. Feminism is a mistake made by women's intellect, a mistake which her instinct will recognize.
Valentine De SaintPoint
Finishing food is about the tiny touches. In the last seconds you can change everything.
Mario Batali
You can't control the paparazzi. But if you go to Coachella you're going to get photographed. Whereas if you're at home, walking down the street you probably won't. It's something I've learnt to navigate my way around but I try to keep my private life private.
Ashley Greene
I'm still healthy as can be.
Darrell Royal
If we can find God only as he is revealed in nature we have no moral God.
Reinhold Niebuhr
The only society I like is rough and tough, and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people.
Robert W. Service
My goal is to be one with the music. I just dedicate my whole life to this art.
Jimi Hendrix
I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction, and the creative potential within that.
Malcolm Mclaren
I hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that I believe what I'm singing. It comes down to being believable. You don't have to be likeable generally, though, I think I am.
John Mayer
I think the pop chart today is entirely market-driven. And it has nothing to do with public taste. And it has nothing to do with moving music forward. It's simply a market chart.
Steven Patrick Morrissey
It's funny. When I saw the script in my inbox and it said 'Sparkle,' I thought, 'For real? It's really called 'Sparkle?'' I was wondering, too, how does 'Jordin Sparks as Sparkle' sound?
Jordin Sparks
Let's be very honest about what this is about. It's not about bashing Democrats, it's not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston tea party was about, they don't know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up.
Janeane Garofalo
Family comes first. You're the only thing they have.
Heidi Klum
Some people think I'm a total moron and I would hope most people think I'm very good at what I do.

Haile Gebrselassie
It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition.
