Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.
Make women rational creatures, and free citizens, and they will quickly become good wives - that is, if men do not neglect the duties of husbands and fathers.
Mary Wollstonecraft
I finally got a chance to talk to my daughter from my previous marriage. I just got married May 3 to my beautiful wife, but we don't see each other much.
Peter Criss
It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years.
Annie Lennox
Two packed houses. I guess the theater sat 2,700 people every night so it was an amazing experience.
Blair Underwood
What I love about new technology is that it really pushes the art. It really pushes it in a way that you can't imagine until you come up with the idea. It's idea-based. You can do anything.
Robert Rodriguez
Farming with live animals is a 7 day a week, legal form of slavery.
George Segal
Hemingway seems to be in a funny position. People nowadays can't identify with him closely as a member of their own generation, and he isn't yet historical.
Leslie Fiedler
I'll see you in my dreams.
Gus Kahn
Any truth is better than indefinite doubt.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I'm 33 now and I seem to have hit a fitness plane. Shifting the wobbly bits isn't as easy as it used to be.
Matthew Rhys
When you get just a complete sense of blackness or void ahead of you, that somehow the future looks an impossible place to be, and the direction you are going seems to have no purpose, there is this word despair which is a very awful thing to feel.
Stephen Fry
You can't escape the taste of the food you had as a child. In times of stress, what do you dream about? Your mother's clam chowder. It's security, comfort. It brings you home.
Jacques Pepin
I guess what I learned the most was to feel lucky with what I have been able to accomplish and what I have and to feel humble about the people I have been able to work with.
Stephen Dorff
Beauty endures only for as long as it can be seen; goodness, beautiful today, will remain so tomorrow.
Sappho
What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful.
Do you really have to be the ice queen intellectual or the slut whore? Isn't there some way to be both?
Susan Sarandon
Good friends are good for your health.
Irwin Sarason
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent
I hate to paint portraits! I hope never to paint another portrait in my life. Portraiture may be all right for a man in his youth, but after forty I believe that manual dexterity deserts one, and, besides, the color-sense is less acute. Youth can better stand the exactions of a personal kind that are inseparable from portraiture. I have had enough of it.
Nobody can be successful if he doesn't love his work, love his job.
David Sarnoff
You will find in politics that you are much exposed to the attribution of false motive. Never complain and never explain.
Stanley Baldwin
Work and live to serve others, to leave the world a little better than you found it and garner for yourself as much peace of mind as you can. This is happiness.
The great menace to the life of an industry is industrial self-complacency.
I majored in fashion design in school, and I have always wanted to design my own line of clothing, jewelry, and stuff like that so this was just a step for me in that direction.
Diana Ross
The human brain must continue to frame the problems for the electronic machine to solve.
Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way, great. But I'd rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.
Bjork
Man is still the greatest miracle and the greatest problem on this earth.
Success, in a generally accepted sense of the term, means the opportunity to experience and to realize to the maximum the forces that are within us.
Never try to look into both eyes at the same time. Switch your gaze from one eye to the other. That signals warmth and sincerity.
Dorothy Sarnoff
Doctors don't know everything really. They understand matter, not spirit. And you and I live in spirit.
William Saroyan
The U.S. government knew that China wanted to acquire sensitive U.S. technology, and instead of implementing a policy to prevent them from acquiring the information, the government all but gave them an invitation to take our equipment and designs.
Charles Foster Bass
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
I don't think anyone in the media thinks strategically about society.
Todd Gitlin
Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
The basic truth of all things, as nearly as we may ever dream of determining and knowing this truth, is form, that which is, as it is. The way and shape of the thing no less than the thing itself.
I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.
Giorgio Armani
We will stand up for our friends in the world. And one of the most important friends is the State of Israel. My administration will be steadfast in support Israel against terrorism and violence, and in seeking the peace for which all Israelis pray.
George W. Bush
One of the things that I did before I ran for president is I was a professional speaker. Not a motivational speaker - an inspirational speaker. Motivation comes from within. You have to be inspired. That's what I do. I inspire people, I inspire the public, I inspire my staff. I inspired the organizations I took over to want to succeed.
Herman Cain
Love is the only bow of life's dark cloud. It is the Morning and Evening Star. It shines upon the cradle of the babe, and sheds its radiance upon the quiet tomb. It is the Mother of Art, inspirer of poet, patriot, and philosopher. It is the air and light of every heart, builder of every home, kinder of every fire on every hearth, It was the first dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to joy, and makes right royal kings of common clay.
Robert G. Ingersoll
In the republic of mediocrity, genius is dangerous.
