If I wish to compose or write or pray or preach well, I must be angry. Then all the blood in my veins is stirred, and my understanding is sharpened.
To this end the greatest asset of a school is the personality of the teacher.
John Strachan
Magicians lose the opportunity to experience a sense of wonder.
David Copperfield
Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold, it is and will be consumed in order to be valorised in a new production: in both cases, the goal is exchange.
Jean-Francois Lyotard
Being funny with a funny voice is more my comfort zone, a broader character that I try to humanize, a kind of silly or wacky persona that I try to fill in.
Hank Azaria
Well, I always had a chauffer, because I have never driven a car in my life. I still can't drive.
Bud Abbott
I think my capacity to change has given me tremendous happiness, because who I am today I am completely content to be.
Jamie Lee Curtis
Akron, Ohio, is my home. I will always be here. I'm still working out at my old high school.
LeBron James
Indy car racing is much more aggressive.
Emerson Fittipaldi
If I respect myself and believe in what I'm doing, no one can touch me.
Fiona Apple
If it's a romantic holiday, the only thing I need is my wife. We love quiet and calm places where we can't be disturbed. Neither of us likes being in busy places we would much rather stay in our hotel room and enjoy each other's company.
Jean Reno
If you have a deep-seated need to be loved and admired every day, you shouldn't be in politics. You should go work at a pet store.
Michael Nutter
The duty of government is to leave commerce to its own capital and credit as well as all other branches of business, protecting all in their legal pursuits, granting exclusive privileges to none.
Andrew Jackson
Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive.
Matt Cameron
I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.
Beth Ditto
But, based on my friendship with Evie as young mothers, I started going on freedom rides in 1966.
June Jordan
We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.
J. J. Abrams
I guess rumors are more exciting than the truth.
Venus Williams
I published, privately, a collection of my serious poetry I had written over the years. I only published 50 copies, which I gave to friends, in a special deluxe edition. It was ridiculously expensive but I'm glad that I did it.
Tom Glazer
I like to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to a cause so that I have more impact. My goal is to shed light on the beauty of the ocean and how important it is for our planet.
Hayden Panettiere
I always wanted to be a zookeeper when I was growing up, and I've wound up a zookeeper! I've been working with the Los Angeles Zoo for 45 years! I'm the luckiest old broad on two feet because my life is divided absolutely in half - half animals and half show business. You can't ask for better than two things you love the most.
Betty White
American families, families back home in Minnesota, know only too well that out-of-pocket expenses for health care have been rising at an astonishing rate.
Jim Ramstad
Well, I write a lot of poetry - that's where it usually all starts. I definitely want to show you guys sides of me - love, loss, heartbreak - all of that good stuff!
Tristan Wilds

Robin Morgan
Religion often is misused for purely power-political goals, including war.

I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else - I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.
Queen Elizabeth II
I totally related to Cole Porter's magnetic pull to any piano that was in the room, which he was famous for doing, as was Gershwin. You couldn't drag them away from a piano.
Kevin Kline
We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.
John Naisbitt
You have to know the classics if you want to cook modern food.
Tom Colicchio
While Democrats fussed with the details of health care reforms, conservatives spent months telling the nation that the real issue is freedom, that what's on the line is American liberty itself.
Thomas Frank
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith.
Garth Brooks
How it is I know not; but there is no place like a bed for confidential disclosures between friends. Man and wife, they say, there open the very bottom of their souls to each other; and some old couples often lie and chat over old times till nearly morning. Thus, then, in our hearts honeymoon, lay I and Queequeg -- a cozy, loving pair.
Herman Melville
If some books are deemed most baneful and their sale forbid, how, then, with deadlier facts, not dreams of doting men? Those whom books will hurt will not be proof against events. Events, not books, should be forbid.
The consciousness of being deemed dead, is next to the presumable unpleasantness of being so in reality. One feels like his own ghost unlawfully tenanting a defunct carcass.
I love what the Valley does. I love company building. I love startups. I love technology companies. I love new technology. I love this process of invention. Being able to participate in that as a founder and a product creator, or as an investor or a board member, I just find that hugely satisfying.
Marc Andreessen
Toil is man's allotment; toil of brain, or toil of hands, or a grief that's more than either, the grief and sin of idleness.
Give me a condor's quill! Give me Vesuvius crater for an inkstand!
Some dying men are the most tyrannical; and certainly, since they will shortly trouble us so little for evermore, the poor fellows ought to be indulged.
I decided at age 9, but I was reinforced at age 13 when a teacher told me I had talent. I can't say she really motivated me because I already knew. I knew I had talent. I went to the Jewish community theater and got in plays there. Then I went for the movies.'
Richard Dreyfuss
So, cutting the lashing of the waterproof match keg, after many failures Starbuck contrived to ignite the lamp in the lantern; then stretching it on a waif pole, handed it to Queequeg as the standard-bearer of this forlorn hope. There, then, he sat, holding up that imbecile candle in the heart of that almighty forlornness. There, then, he sat, the sign and symbol of a man without faith, hopelessly holding up hope in the midst of despair.
