I am a bit of a bad boy. I have tattoos and I mess around. That's part of my image, so it's cool.

All serious daring starts from within.

Joan Baez

I don't think success has changed us as people at all. We are the same lunatics that we were when this band first got going. We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.

Kirk Hammett

I know I had my equivalents in Adrian Lester and Lenny James when I was at drama school. I remember David Harewood doing 'Othello' at the National, and Adrian Lester having done Cheek by Jowl's famous 'As You Like It and Company' at the Donmar. Not necessarily performances I saw, but just the fact they happened was massively encouraging.

David Oyelowo

Above all, it is not decency or goodness of gentleness that impresses the Middle East, but strength.

Meir Kahane

Nature is a revelation of God; Art a revelation of man.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there.

Jim Henson

I'd never been a teacher before, and here I was starting my first day with these eager students. There was a shortage of teachers, and they had been without a math teacher for six months. They were so excited to learn math.

Andrew Shue

My mom breastfed me for more than a year, and I can't imagine doing it any other way. It's cheap and much better for the environment, and you don't have to lug all that stuff around.

Emily Deschanel

Life itself is short, but lasts longer than misfortunes.

Publilius Syrus

The more sinful and guilty a person tends to feel, the less chance there is that he will be a happy, healthy, or law-abiding citizen. He will become a compulsive wrong-doer.

Albert Ellis

Anyone who is observant, who discovers the person they have always dreamed of, knows that sexual energy comes into play before sex even takes place. The greatest pleasure isn't sex, but the passion with which it is practiced. When the passion is intense, then sex joins in to complete the dance, but it is never the principal aim.

Paulo Coelho

I am focused on what needs to be done for the people of Israel. Period. I do not pity myself and I do not pat myself on the shoulder. I get up in the morning full of energy to fulfill my mission.

Ehud Olmert
