I had always loved music. I grew up listening to classic country, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard. My dad loved Vern Gosdin and Keith Whitley. So I kept going to class and started getting totally into playing guitar and teaching myself these songs.

You must look into people, as well as at them.

Lord Chesterfield

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.

Charles de Gaulle

Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

You have to be the best of whatever you are, but successful, cool actresses come in all shapes and sizes.

Jessica Alba

Certain people will be upset when you speak the truth. They might get mad. They might get really mad. That's because they are still living the lie you've exposed. Stay strong. Speak truth. Do not allow yourself to get pulled back into their lie just to make others happy and yourself miserable. You are free. Stay free.

Toni Sorenson

I'm sure I am impatient sometimes. I sure do get angry sometimes. I think it's outrageous how hard it is to get this country to feed its children and to take care of its children, to give them a decent education.

Marian Wright Edelman

I watch too much cable, I admit. Day after day it gets frustrating. Yesterday I watched as someone called legislation to prevent teacher layoffs a bailout - but I know that's not a view held by many, nor were the views I was frustrated about.

Robert Gibbs

Ese mismo año, un grupo de astrónomos encabezado por Cornell H. Mayer recibió ondas deradio procedentes de Venus y quedó atónito al ver que la intensidad de esas ondas equivalía a la quecabía esperar de un objeto mucho más caliente de lo que se creía que era Venus. De ser eso cierto, nopodría haber océano planetario en Venus; de hecho, no podía haber agua líquida de ninguna clase (y asíse echó a perder mi pobre novela, que sólo hacía dos años que había sido publicada).

Isaac Asimov

What does it say about a president's policies when he has to use a cartoon character rather than real people to justify his record? What does it say about the fiction of old liberalism to insist that good jobs and good schools and good wages will result from policies that have failed us, time and again?

Mitt Romney

I was afraid of the internet... because I couldn't type.

Jack Welch

Wonder is from surprise, and surprise stops with experience.

Bishop Robert South

And some of what we're doing in Government even now, some of the welfare reform programs that are helping lone mothers come into work are based on things that were very new under the Labour Government in the eighties.
