Artists need some kind of stimulating experience a lot of times, which crystallizes when you sing about it or paint it or sculpt it. You literally mold the experience the way you want. It's therapy.

I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.

Walt Whitman

My good friends are Mormon, some of the best people I know.

Katherine Heigl

There is no cure for the pride of a virtuous nation but pure religion.

Reinhold Niebuhr

I always knew that we were going to be successful and accomplish and succeed at our dreams. There was never a doubt in my mind. When we were recording 'Appetite For Destruction,' we all knew.

Steven Adler

It is impossible for capitalism to survive, primarily because the system of capitalism needs some blood to suck. Capitalism used to be like an eagle, but now it's more like a vulture. It used to be strong enough to go and suck anybody's blood whether they were strong or not. But now it has become more cowardly, like the vulture, and it can only suck the blood of the helpless. As the nations of the world free themselves, the capitalism has less victims, less to suck, and it becomes weaker and weaker. It's only a matter of time in my opinion before it will collapse completely.

Malcolm X

I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.

Rita Mae Brown

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted. That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

Aldous Huxley

If I can stop one heart from breakingI shall not live in vainIf I can ease on Life the AchingOr cool one painOr help one fainting RobinUnto his Nest againI shall not live in Vain.

Emily Dickinson

People tell me they idolise me, want to be like me, but I tell them, 'trust me, you don't want my life.' I've been a very tortured soul.

Phil Spector

But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it's a lie and they're protected if the person's famous or it's a company.

Steve Wozniak

I was so obsessed by this problem that I was thinking about it all the time - when I woke up in the morning, when I went to sleep at night - and that went on for eight years.

Andrew Wiles

The good lawyer is the great salesman.

Janet Reno
