Children seem naturally drawn to poetry - it's some combination of the rhyme, rhythm, and the words themselves.

My sister and I said, Dad, are you doing to do anything about that? And he mentioned treatments other people sent him that he'd been working on. So we thought it would be kind of cool to give these guys a real script.

Rae Dawn Chong

In intelligence work, there are limits to the amount of information one can share. Confidentiality is essential.

Gijs de Vries

Much of what we call evil is due entirely to the way men take the phenomenon. It can so often be converted into a bracing and tonic good by a simple change of the sufferer's inner attitude from one of fear to one of fight; its string can so often depart and turn into a relish when, after vainly seeking to shun it, we agree to face about and bear it...

William James

I don't like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I'm from New York. I will kill to get what I need.

Lady Gaga

We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always a sketch. No sketch is not quite the right word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch of nothing, an outline with no picture.

Milan Kundera

The unspoken word never does harm.

Lajos Kossuth

I wanted pure love: foolishness; to love one another is to hate a common enemy: I will thus espouse your hatred. I wanted Good: nonsense; on this earth and in these times, Good and Bad are inseparable: I accept to be evil in order to become good.

Jean Paul Sartre

Wealth, beauty, and fame are transient. When those are gone, little is left except the need to be useful.

Gene Tierney

This required abandoning the idea that there is a universal quantity called time that all clocks measure. Instead, everyone would have his own personal time. The clocks of two people would agree if they were at rest with respect to each other but not if they were moving. This has been confirmed by a number of experiments, including one in which an extremely accurate timepiece was flown around the world and then compared with one that had stayed in place. If you wanted to live longer, you could keep flying to the east so the speed of the plane added to the earth

Stephen Hawking

Be right, and then be easy to live with, if possible, but in that order.

Ezra Taft Benson

The time I spent thinking about how I was better than somebody else or worrying about somebody else's attitude was time I could put to better use.

Charley Pride

The automobile engine will come, and then I will consider my life's work complete.

Rudolf Diesel
