People are capable of doing an awful lot when they have no choice and I had no choice. Courage is when you have choices.
There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless, and the other half discreditable.
Christian Nestell Bovee
It sometimes is just the fear of being misunderstood.
Terry Gross
It is characteristic of all deep human problems that they are not to be approached without some humor and some bewilderment.
Freeman Dyson
The simple fact is this: they are foreigners inside a country which has rejected them. Therefore, these foreigners wherever they go or travel they will be rained down with bullets from everyone. Attacks by members of the resistance will only go up.
Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf
I think that when we have a better educated society, when there is less violence in our cities, when people get back into the workforce and have the opportunity to take care of themselves and their families - that for me really is the kind of success and the kind of America that I think most of us still want, we aspire to.
Michael Nutter
My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo, as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player, Ted Larsen.
Jonny Lang
I have experienced healing through other writers' poetry, but there's no way I can sit down to write in the hope a poem will have healing potential. If I do, I'll write a bad poem.
Marilyn Hacker
I was in relationship with a guy who was much older than me - either he was past his prime and I was coming into mine. There was nothing I could do to keep his attention.
Deana Carter
I think the Cold War works as a great analogy or simile for different kinds of conflict. It's funny, when you look back at it, it's one of the last times that the boundaries were clear. Now, as we see on 'Homeland,' there are no clear boundaries and enemies.
Matthew Rhys
People have always wanted to be recognized, and that's human nature. But people used to want to be recognized for their accomplishments, and now they simply want to be visible.
Diablo Cody
Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily.
Thomas Szasz
They basically said that if I didn't show up for school they'd mark me present, they wouldn't send the truant officer after me. At 16 I enrolled in something called continuing education. Once a month I'd go out to Jamaica, but I didn't take it seriously.
Dave Van Ronk
Growing hemp as nature designed it is vital to our urgent need to reduce greenhouse gases and ensure the survival of our planet.
Jack Herer
Tell me about yourself - your struggles, your dreams, your telephone number.
Peter Arno
Some Marines made fun of the fact that I had done plays and studied poetry, but then I won the award for physical training.
David Hunt
Dad sometimes patted me on the knee and called me his Little Schmuck.
Michael Reagan
A university is not a political party, and an education is not an indoctrination.
David Horowitz
It's amazing what we can get away with and what we can't. But it's not for me to decide.
Mike Judge
True love is quiescent, except in the nascent moments of true humility.
Bryant H. McGill
We can revolutionize the attitude of inner city brown and black kids to learning. We need a civil rights movement within the African-American community.
Henry Louis Gates
'Untitled' is a time machine that can transport you to 1992, an edgy moment when the art world was crumbling, money was scarce, and artists like Tiravanija were in the nascent stages of combining Happenings, performance art, John Cage, Joseph Beuys, and the do-it-yourself ethos of punk. Meanwhile, a new art world was coming into being.
Jerry Saltz
Medical professionals, not insurance company bureaucrats, should be making health care decisions.
Barbara Boxer
I don't like to search too much. I find it is easier when romance finds you.
Michelle Trachtenberg
Oh, man, if in real life I was as cool and suave as Coach Taylor and had all the answers, things would be easier.
Kyle Chandler
I got a phone call from Fearne Cotton. It was amazing! I literally couldn't believe it. It was so cool. It was the night before I was going on her show to sing on the 'Live Lounge.' She was so lovely.
Birdy
This is one of the major problems we have. By the way, it was endorsed by leadership on both sides of the aisle and both ends of the Capitol, by the NRA and also by the gun control groups.
John Dingell
I trust that the president will try, just give it one more shot, some revolutionary way of not doing this, of bringing all those kids back home safely.
F. Murray Abraham
Republicans use think tanks to come up with a lot of their messages. The think tanks are the single worst, most undisciplined example of communication I've ever seen.
Frank Luntz
The ideology of the Smashing Pumpkins was ultimately more valuable than the music of the Smashing Pumpkins. That's what critics can't put their finger on.
Billy Corgan
I can't go to war with paparazzi.
Daniel Craig
The freedom to criticize judges and other public officials is necessary to a vibrant democracy. The problem comes when healthy criticism is replaced with more destructive intimidation and sanctions.
Sandra Day O'Connor
It's like I understand images and some people understand poetry.
Samantha Morton
There are distinct duties of a poet laureate. I plan a reading series at the Library of Congress and advise the librarian. The rest is how I want to promote poetry.
Rita Dove
The infinite faith I have in people's ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior.
Alice Walker
Belief is nothing but a more vivid, lively, forcible, firm, steady conception of an object, than what the imagination alone is ever able to attain.
David Hume
I'm a romantic guy.
Fred Durst
I was a little different. I still say I'm a little different, because success to me is not having the most money, or having the biggest car or the biggest house.
Herschel Walker
The more rapidly truth is spread among mankind the better it will be for them. Only let us be sure that it is the truth.
Thomas Huxley
Try as hard as we may for perfection, the net result of our labors is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways.
Samuel McChord Crothers
My mum and my dad are the sweetest couple.
Rita Ora
