You can't sweep other people off their feet, if you can't be swept off your own.

I love to compete. That's the essence of who I am.

Tiger Woods

Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars.

Frederick Langbridge

Kurt and I weren't the closest of friends, but I knew him well enough to be devastated by his death. For such a quiet person, he was so excited about having a child.

Layne Staley

Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearances.

Soren Kierkegaard

There is nothing so strange and so unbelievable that it has not been said by one philosopher or another.

Rene Descartes

Hesitancy in judgment is the only true mark of the thinker.

Dagobert D. Runes

If you ask a member of this generation two simple questions: How do you want the world to be in fifty years? and What do you want your life to be like five years from now? the answers are quite often preceded by Provided there is still a world and Provided I am still alive. To the often-heard question, Who are they, this new generation? one is tempted to answer, Those who hear the ticking. And to the other question, Who are they who utterly deny them? the answer may well be, Those who do not know, or refuse to face, things as they really are.

Hannah Arendt

In an election, one needs both hope and audacity.

Francois Hollande

There's nothing worse than walking around and talking about your failed relationship, all day, every day, for months on end.

Max Greenfield

We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system. And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again.

Marco Rubio

It is not merely enough to love literature if one wishes to spend one's life as a writer. It is a dangerous undertaking on the most primitive level. For, it seems to me, the act of writing with serious intent involves enormous personal risk. It entails the ongoing courage for self-discovery. It means one will walk forever on the tightrope, with each new step presenting the possiblity of learning a truth about oneself that is too terrible to bear.

Harlan Ellison

Liberals, it has been said, are generous with other peoples' money, except when it comes to questions of national survival when they prefer to be generous with other people's freedom and security.

William F. Buckley, Jr.
