Whatever comes in my way, I take it with smile.
Out with stereotypes, feminism proclaims. But stereotypes are the west's stunning sexual personae, the vehicles of art's assault against nature. The moment there is imagination, there is myth.
Camille Anna Paglia
To be told that one can be dependent on one's parents until age 26 should strike a young person who wants to grow up as demeaning, not as something to celebrate.
Dennis Prager
I spoke without fear of contradiction. I simply did not suffer self-doubt.
Elia Kazan
Capitalism is an art form, an Apollonian fabrication to rival nature. It is hypocritical for feminists and intellectuals to enjoy the pleasures and conveniences of capitalism while sneering at it. Everyone born into capitalism has incurred a debt to it. Give Caesar his due.
Poetry is so vital to us until school spoils it.
Russell Baker
Cats are autocrats of naked self-interest. They are both amoral and immoral, consciously breaking rules. Their evil look at such times is no human projection: the cat may be the only animal who savors the perverse or reflects upon it.
To help the poor to a capacity for action and liberty is something essential for one's own health as well as theirs: there is a needful gift they have to offer which cannot be offered so long as they are confined by poverty.
Rowan D. Williams
My generation of the Sixties, with all our great ideals, destroyed liberalism, because of our excesses.
The people of the world genuinely want peace. Some day the leaders of the world are going to have to give in and give, it to them.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The 1990s, after the reign of terror of academic vandalism, will be a decade of restoration: restoration of meaning, value, beauty, pleasure, and emotion to art and restoration of art to its audience.
I therefore beg that you would indulge me with the liberty of declining the arduous trust.
Christopher Gadsden
If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts.
Woman is the dominant sex. Men have to do all sorts of stuff to prove that they are worthy of woman's attention.
Teenage boys, goaded by their surging hormones run in packs like the primal horde. They have only a brief season of exhilarating liberty between control by their mothers and control by their wives.
I believe people who go into politics want to do the right thing. And then they hit a big wall of re-election and the pettiness of politics. In the end, politics gets in the way of the business of people.
Kevin Costner
Cinema is the culmination of the obsessive, mechanistic male drive in western culture. The movie projector is an Apollonian straight-shooter, demonstrating the link between aggression and art. Every pictorial framing is a ritual limitation, a barred precinct.
I have a much wider, freer view about spirituality. I feel that people need to pursue it on their own, personally. You know, let it be theirs - a personal relationship with their soul, or their God, or with their church.
Peter Jurasik
I am deeply concerned with the diminution of the teaching strength of the country as a result of the disproportionately low salaries that are paid to teachers throughout the country.
Bainbridge Colby
Young children were sooner allured by love, than driven by beating, to attain good learning.
Roger Ascham
The computer is your passport, not only to the future but to knowing what's going around you.
Michael Nutter
Love is space and time measured by the heart.
Marcel Proust
I get to hang out with people I think are awesome, and do work I think is awesome. It's really cool.
Harold Perrineau
What are your historical Facts; still more your biographical? Wilt thou know a man by stringing-together beadrolls of what thou namest Facts?
Thomas Carlyle
Conclusive facts are inseparable from inconclusive except by a head that already understands and knows.
Fame, we may understand, is no sure test of merit, but only a probability of such; it is an accident, not a property of man.
Society is founded upon cloth.
If the cut of the costume indicates intellect and talent, then the color indicates temper and heart.
The greatest of all faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.
A person who is gifted sees the essential point and leaves the rest as surplus.
Genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains.
A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.
All pro sports, as well as the NCAA, should thank God every day we have sports betting here... We have the only agency in the world that regulates the honesty of games.
Meyer Lansky
I shall the effect of this good lesson keeps as watchman to my heart.
William Shakespeare
Men are to be guided only by their self-interests. Good government is a good balancing of these; and, except a keen eye and appetite for self-interest, requires no virtue in any quarter. To both parties it is emphatically a machine: to the discontented, a taxing-machine; to the contented, a machine for securing property. Its duties and its faults are not those of a father, but of an active parish-constable.
In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom; we have to say, Like People like Government.
But I don't do the diet thing anymore. I'm a big believer in feeding your body what it needs. Deny yourself something and you're going to end up shoving your face full of it.
Ashley Greene
The only happiness a brave person ever troubles themselves in asking about, is happiness enough to get their work done.
I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.
Audrey Hepburn
But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus. By certain valuations, and averages, of our own striking, we come upon some sort of average terrestrial lot; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible rights. It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts; requires neither thanks nor complaint. Foolish soul! What act of legislature was there that thou shouldst be happy? A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.
I do not support peace in the Middle East. And I do not support Arafat. He is a stupid, incompetent fool!
Muammar al-Gaddafi
