Mohamed ElBaradei
I don't think meals have any business being deductible. I'm for separation of calories and corporations.
Ralph Nader
I was very aware of office politics because I was so baffled by them. So much so goes unsaid. No one says 'you're a cheeky so-and-so,' no one says 'you're so moody,' nobody ever confronts anyone else about anything. But I'm very crass, and I'm very confrontational, and I have a temper. I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in.

But the reason I became, why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy.
Jodie Foster
Resting for me is fitness training.

Larry Hagman
Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you.

Michael Clarke Duncan
I got the famous Oprah hug!
Taylor Lautner
Some of the things I think I learned from that were very educational as far as just paying bills - the basics in dealing with a restaurant like that. It was just life - the education involved in running the organization, even on a small level.

Liv Tyler
I knew I had to get out of Boston and stop making movies there, at least for one movie, otherwise no one would ever consider me for a movie that took place south of Providence.

Thomas Carlyle
If I'm such a legend, then why am I so lonely? Let me tell you, legends are all very well if you've got somebody around who loves you.

Jos
Science gives us a powerful vocabulary, and it is impossible to produce a vocabulary with which one can only say nice things.
John Charles Polanyi
The difficulties which I meet with in order to realize my existence are precisely what awaken and mobilize my activities, my capacities.

Effort is only effort when it begins to hurt.
While all other sciences have advanced, that of government is at a standstill - little better understood, little better practiced now than three or four thousand years ago.
John Adams
I am I plus my surroundings and if I do not preserve the latter, I do not preserve myself.

The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.

We distinguish the excellent man from the common man by saying that the former is the one who makes great demands on himself, and the latter who makes no demands on himself.
Civilization is nothing more than the effort to reduce the use of force to the last resort.
I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs. They all find their place in the world, but they all start off in the same place. I'm always painting and drawing as well, and it's an ongoing creative assignment.
P. J. Harvey
Better beware of notions like genius and inspiration; they are a sort of magic wand and should be used sparingly by anybody who wants to see things clearly.
