David Bohm
'True Blood' is amazing. I have to give a shout out to 'Melrose Place' because I do watch. I love 'Entourage.' One of my favorite shows back in the day was 'Friday Night Lights.'
Tristan Wilds
Never, ever invest money that you will need prior to three to five years - minimum.
Suze Orman
Last time I spoke to my mom she called me from a pay phone, and we didn't have the best talk. Ever since my stepdad passed away three years ago, she has been very depressed and hasn't been herself at all.
Eric West
I believe that President Clinton considered the legal merits of the arguments for the pardon as he understood them, and he rendered his judgment, wise or unwise, on the merits.
John Podesta
Some people suggest that the problem is the separation of powers. If you had a parliamentary system, the struggle for power would not result in such complex peace treaties that empower so many different people to pursue so many contradictory aims.
James Q. Wilson
At the very outset I want to say how the people of America appreciate the steadfast support of the people of Morocco, the leadership of Morocco in our war against terrorism.
Donald Evans
Actors are loved because they are unoriginal. Actors stick to their script. The unoriginal man is loved by the mediocrity because this kind of artistic expression is something to which the merest five-eighth can climb.
Patrick Kavanagh
All real education is the architecture of the soul.
William Bennett
Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.
Danny Kaye
You've got to keep fighting; you've got to risk your life every six months to stay alive
Elia Kazan

Mencius
The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on all darkness.
Nikos Kazantzakis
If our history can challenge the next wave of musicians to keep moving and changing, to keep spiritually hungry and horny, that's what it's all about.
Carlos Santana
I said to the almond tree, Friend, speak to me of God, and the almond tree blossomed.
The more control you have over your life, the more responsible you feel for your own success - or failure.
Arthur C. Brooks
By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.
Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future. Today is a gift -- which is why they call it the present.
Bill Keane
Sometimes I think the world is divided into those who have a comfortable relationship with power and those who have a naturally adversarial relationship with power.
Arundhati Roy
For organizations and employees alike, the only real security is the ability to grow, change and adapt.
Kearney
If one takes pride in one's craft, you won't let a good thing die. Risking it through not pushing hard enough is not a humility.
Paul Keating
For me, great music doesn't just have to fall into one category or one genre and I love appreciating all kinds of music.
Taylor Swift
I'm gonna do four or five of these movies, and it's going to become my career. I'll have to keep expanding the bat suit, because I get fatter every year. I'll be bankrupt. I'll be out opening shopping malls, going from appearance to appearance in a cheesy van. On playing Batman
Michael Keaton
We cannot pass our guardian angel's bounds, resigned or sullen, he will hear our sighs.

Arabella Weir
It's funny, because in drama school, my greatest strength was my range. So my early career was like that: I played all kinds of different characters.
Lance Reddick
There is no easy formula for determining right and wrong livelihood, but it is essential to keep the question alive. To return the sense of dignity and honor to manhood, we have to stop pretending that we can make a living at something that is trivial or destructive and still have sense of legitimate self-worth. A society in which vocation and job are separated for most people gradually creates an economy that is often devoid of spirit, one that frequently fills our pocketbooks at the cost of emptying our souls.
Sam Keen
Hostage is a crucifying aloneness. It is a silent, screaming slide into the bowels of ultimate despair. Hostage is a man hanging by his fingernails over the edge of chaos, feeling his fingers slowly straightening. Hostage is the humiliating stripping away of every sense and fiber of body and mind and spirit that make us what we are. Hostage is a mutant creation filled with fear, self-loathing, guilt and death-wishing. But he is a man, a rare, unique and beautiful creation of which these things are no part.
