Conscience is thoroughly well-bred and soon leaves off talking to those who do not wish to hear it.

All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality -- the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.

Arthur Christopher Benson

If one's honest about it, spending time in a car with children is pretty ghastly.

Arabella Weir

Once you start telling people you're famous, they believe you.

Melissa de la Cruz

I think I'm drawn to more villain-type characters, because it's so cool to get to say all the things you want to say. In Hollywood, you get to this position where you have to bite your tongue so much. You take all your experiences of not being able to say what you really want to say, and channel that through your character.

Gabrielle Union

Location, location, location.

William Dillard

It's interesting to wake up at 3 in the morning by someone saying they're a reporter and they want to know how you feel. I felt fine, but I said, 'Well, why do you ask?'

Saul Perlmutter

If you are poor, shun association with him who measures men with the yardstick of riches.

Kahlil Gibran

I know the exploding cost of health care is at the root of our long-term fiscal challenges.

Fred Upton

Resistance is thought transformed into feeling. Change the thought that creates the resistance, and there is no more resistance.

Robert Conklin

At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is not done to say it Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the high-brow periodicals.

George Orwell

True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.

Socrates

Gold is what people worship if they don't go with the invisible God.
