Americans don't pay much attention to environmental issues, because they aren't sexy. I mean, cleaning up coal plants and reining in outlaw frackers is hugely important work, but it doesn't get anybody's pulse racing.

Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness.

George Jean Nathan

The F-word is 'famous,' the C-word is 'celebrity' and S-word is 'star,' in my book. The other three words are fine - you can say those. But 'famous,' 'celebrity' and 'star,' I think, are misused.

Shailene Woodley

The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.

Robert Alexander Schumann

This is truly a blessing. Breyon Prescott, Peter Edge and Tom Corson believe in me and have introduced me to a home that also believes and knows exactly what to do with the type of music I'm doing.

Brandy Norwood

A speculator is a man who observes the future, and acts before it occurs.

Bernard Baruch

Against boredom the gods themselves fight in vain.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Find a way to get in the way.

John Lewis

If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed and if we are not willing to change, we will disappear from the face of the globe, to be replaced by the insect.

Jacques Yves Cousteau

God always takes the simplest way.

Albert Einstein

I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me-spiritually and financially.

Denzel Washington

The victim should have the right to end his life, if he wants. But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope.

Stephen Hawking

Ten long trips around the sun since I last saw that smile, but only joy and thankfulness that on a tiny world in the vastness, for a couple of moments in the immensity of time, we were one.

Ann Druyan
