It's my birthday, by the way, and as of 2:05 this morning (the time of my birth in the middle of a snow storm on the Fort Dix army base in New Jersey) I'm 52 years old. I decided to say that because there's such in our culture for women...well, for everybody...to stay perpetually young. And that's never going to change if we (women especially) don't embrace, enjoy, and take pride in each and every age that we pass through. I'm not young, I'm half a century old, and grateful to have made it this far. And I have this to say to the young women coming on behind me: 52 feels pretty damn good!

Life is about how much you can take and keep fighting, how much you can suffer and keep moving forward.

Anderson Silva

You don't tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive.

Margaret Thatcher

I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my purpose.

David Livingstone

Beauty in distress is much the most affecting beauty.

Edmund Burke

Traveling in other countries is especially fun because others often attribute your differences to the less-stigmatizing idea that you're like this only because you're a foreigner.

Michael John Carley

For my part, while I am as convinced a Socialist as the most ardent Marxian, I do not regard Socialism as a gospel of proletarian revenge, nor even, primarily, as a means of securing economic justice. I regard it primarily as an adjustment to machine production demanded by considerations of common sense, and calculated to increase the happiness, not only of proletarians, but of all except a tiny minority of the human race.

Bertrand Russell

The drama of life begins with a wail and ends with a sigh.

Minna Antrim

Every one rushes elsewhere and into the future, because no one wants to face one's own inner self.

Michel de Montaigne

There is little more powerful than when truth joins action.

Bryant H. McGill

To pity distress is but human to relieve it is Godlike.

Horace Mann

When you're in prison, you either embrace religion or you reject it. I embraced it it was a very spiritual time for me.

Henrique Capriles Radonski

Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones.

Bertrand Russell
