Becoming a mom made me more contentious about expressing my true taste.

Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future.

Hannah Arendt

Work is life, you know, and without it, there's nothing but fear and insecurity.

John Lennon

Success is the one unpardonable sin against one's fellows.

Ambrose Bierce

He was too well accustomed to suffering, and had suffered too much where he was, to bewail the prospect of change very severely.

Charles Dickens

I would love to explore film seeing as I have prominently been on television. It would be nice to change it up and focus on film a little bit.

Yvonne Strahovski

I don't have the insight with the Longhorns that I do with the two teams that I own, but as a fan and reading the sports pages, I'm bullish about the Longhorns.

Tom Hicks

To many fame comes too late.

Luis De Camoens

Religion is a mixed blessing.

John Shelby Spong

I don't stop. It's my nature. People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway. I want to do 'Evita.' I want to do 'Sweeney Todd' with Chris Colfer. We want to do 'Wicked.' I'll be Elphaba and he wants to play 'Guy-linda.' I want to do movies, make music. 'Glee' is only the beginning.

Lea Michele

When I must shipwrack, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotencie might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.

John Donne, Letter, September, 1

Firm, faithful, and devoted, full of energy and zeal, and truth, he labors for his race; he clears their painful way to improvement; he hews down like a giant the prejudices of creed and caste that encumber it. He may be stern; he may be exacting; he may be ambitious yet; but his is the sternness of the warrior Greatheart, who guards his pilgrim convoy from the onslaught of Apollyon. His is the exaction of the apostle, who speaks but for Christ, when he says, Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. His is the ambition of the high master-spirit, which aims to fill a place in the first rank of those who are redeemed from the earth -- who stand without fault before the throne of God, who share the last mighty victories of the Lamb, who are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Charlotte Bronte

A private railroad car is not an acquired taste. One takes to it immediately.
