When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.

It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Never let up. The more you can win by, the more doubts you put in the other players' minds the next time out.

Sam Snead

You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. With it, there is accomplishment. Without it there are only alibis.

Henry Ford

If you want to be happy, be.

Leo Tolstoy

The beginning, middle, and end of the birth, growth, and perfection of whatever we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action and reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, and order, there are degrees, succession and vicissitude.

Giordano Bruno

All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Matthew 7:12

Bible

It could be said that the AIDS pandemic is a classic own-goal scored by the human race against itself.

Princess Anne Ireland

Citizen Kane is perhaps the one American talking picture that seems as fresh now as the day it opened. It may seem even fresher.

Pauline Kael

Women can stand a beating except when it is with their own weapons.

Samuel Butler

I simply want to live; to cause no evil to anyone but myself.

Leo Tolstoy

Lifestyles and sex roles are passed from parents to children as inexorably as blue eyes or small feet.

Letty Cottin Pogrebin

People who wait for changes to occur on the outside before they commit to making changes on the inside will never make any changes at all.
