From a short-sided view, the whole moving contents of the heavens seemed to them a parcel of stones, earth and other soul-less bodies, though they furnish the sources of the world order.
I listened to it last night for the first time since we started this project. I went out to my car and put it in and went to an empty parking lot and just listened and read the little pamphlet that came with it. After two or three songs I burst into tears.
Randy Bachman
I don't know if anybody wants to mix their politics with their entertainment.
Fiona Apple
I went to a military school between the ages of six and 12 and later into the air force. You learn discipline and strength of character.
Larry Hagman
I'm not a film buff. I don't watch a lot of movies.
Denzel Washington
The kids out there want something they can relate to, something that's real most of that whiny stuff isn't real. The cheesy pop songs just bore me to death.
Jonathan Davis
I can imagine a future in which real books will exist but in a more limited, particular way.
Susan Orlean
As far as I'm concerned, the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning.
Neil Gaiman
In the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for 'finding himself.' If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence.
Thomas Merton
I like all the angels around because they protect me and my daughter. I mean, her Dad's an angel.

B. R. Ambedkar
Do not seek death. Death will find you. But seek the road which makes death a fulfillment.
Dag Hammarskjold
Picasso is a character that has pursued me for a long time and I always rejected. He deserves a lot of respect because I am from Malaga, and I was born four blocks from where he was born.
Antonio Banderas
I've looked at pictures that my mom has of me, from when I was four years old at the turntable. I'm there, reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I've been into music, and listening to music and critiquing it, my whole life.
Dr. Dre
I just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It's totally for myself. I never in my wildest dreams expected this popularity.
J. K. Rowling
I learned a lot from that first record and I learned a lot from my experiences touring, but really the biggest education I got over the past two years was learning the importance of arrangements.
Vanessa Carlton
The National Intelligence Director needs the authority to do the job we are asking him to do. That means power over the intelligence budget. And to be effective, to be allowed to do his or her job, they must have authority over the budget.
Leonard Boswell
My purpose is to make a movie to make you warm. To give you some heat. Now, this rational world has become a place where only what is cool is good. Do you cut the movie on the basis of the beat of modernity or the basis of the beat of your own heart?
Emir Kusturica
I've learned to stay away from publicity addicts, people who want to be famous for no reason.
Paz de la Huerta
They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The science of the mind can only have for its proper goal the understanding of human nature by every human being, and through its use, brings peace to every human soul.
Alfred Adler
For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.
Bo Bennett
The whole 'American Idol' way of looking at things is the antithesis of what I grew up with. There are a whole lot of kids wanting to be famous now, whereas if I'd even mentioned that word to one of my teachers, I would have got into a whole load of trouble.
Harry Connick, Jr.
Like many women my age, I am 28 years old.
Mary Schmich
Cursed is the man who dies, but the evil done by him survives.
Abu Bakr
Being nerdy just means being passionate about something, including everyone - the coolest people on Earth are passionate and therefore nerdy about something whatever it is, whether it's sports, or gaming, or technology, or fashion, or beauty, or food, or whatever.
Zachary Levi
Such lifestyle factors such as cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, little physical activity and low dietary calcium intake are risk factors for osteoporosis as well as for many other non-communicable diseases.

P. J. O'Rourke
Many possessions, if they do not make a man better, are at least expected to make his children happier and this pathetic hope is behind many exertions.
George Santayana
My goal is to be a household name, and when I do that, I want to help other girls become models, and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom, like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye, and it's always been a dream of hers.
Chanel Iman
God's love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.
Desmond Tutu
I will say that the idea of a woman being deceptive came from that original discussion with critics and reporters about if woman could do that kind of thing. Evelyn, herself, grew out of the discussions about how capable women are of deceit and lying and manipulation.
Neil LaBute
All these jokes have been pre-approved as funny by me.
Mitch Hedberg
I believe my publisher has shown a great deal of faith in me over a lot of years but I'm not prepared to be so arrogant to say that the long-term literary value of my work would compensate them for a financial failure.
