There are 4 billion cell phones in use today. Many of them are in the hands of market vendors, rickshaw drivers, and others who've historically lacked access to education and opportunity. Information networks have become a great leveler, and we should use them together to help lift people out of poverty and give them a freedom from want.

We tend to connect bad food and bad habits with romance and sex.

Marilu Henner

Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.

Friedrich Nietzsche

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Mahatma Gandhi

Katy Perry is the sexiest woman I've ever kissed. It was amazing and very purple - she had purple lipstick on. I don't think there will ever be anything cooler than kissing her... until I marry her maybe!

Niall Horan

But the bravest man amongst us is afraid of himself. The mutilation of the savage has its tragic survival in the self-denial that mars our lives. We are punished for our refusals. Every impulse that we strive to strangle broods in the mind and poisons us. The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the luxury of a regret. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful. It has been said that the great events of the world take place in the brain. It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also.

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dori

Actresses can get outrageously precious about the way they look. That's not what life's about. If you starve yourself to the point where your brain cells shrivel, you will never do good work. And if you're overly conscious of your arms flapping in the wind, how can you look the other actor in the eye to respond to them?

Cate Blanchett

My job is to inspire others to live full lives. Whether I do that through my writing or my actions are one in the same.

Victoria Klein

No sketches first, no studies, that

Robert Browning, The Faultless P

I always hated when my scars started to fade, because as long as I could still see them, I knew why I was hurting.

Jodi Picoult

Two types of people laugh at the law: those that break it and those that make it.

Terry Pratchett

The quality of life, which in the ardor of spring was personal and sexual, becomes social in midsummer

Henry Beston
