Out of chaos God made a world, and out of high passions comes a people.

Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I'll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I've never found an easy way.

Paul Lynde

The reality is sobering: in the United States one in three girls will become pregnant before age 20, totaling more than 750,000 girls per year.

Jane Fonda

I was alive when the Dead Sea was just a lake that was feeling a little poorly.

Cassandra Clare

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Honore de Balzac

The function of the well-intentioned individual, acting in isolation, is to formulate or disseminate theoretical truths. The function of the well-intentioned individuals in association is to live in accordance with those truths, to demonstrate what happens when theory is translated into practice, to create small-scale working models of the better form of society to which the speculative idealist looks forward.

Aldous Huxley

A man who has nothing can whistle in a robber's face.

Juvenal

What's sad is that there is an addictive quality to that, to believing your own hype to allowing yourself to become validated by others and no longer by yourself. That's the danger of celebrity.

Giovanni Ribisi

Colon has always thought that heroes had some special kind of clockwork that made them go out and die famously for god, country and apple pie, or whatever particular delicacy their mother made. It had never occurred to him that they might do it because they'd get yelled at if they didn't.

Terry Pratchett

What the soul hardly realizes is that, unbeliever or not, his loneliness is really a homesickness for God.

Dom Hubert Van Zeller

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.

Ayn Rand

No habit or quality is more easily acquired than hypocrisy, nor any thing sooner learned than to deny the sentiments of our hearts and the principle we act from: but the seeds of every passion are innate to us, and nobody comes into the world without them.

Bernard Mandeville

The power of visibility can never be underestimated.

Margaret Cho
