The control of nature is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and the convenience of man.

These women whose antics we smirk at good-naturedly in the pap-traps put themselves out there at least partly on their beauty they are in showbiz, and showing what they've got is part of their business as much as it is for male show-ponies from the Chippendales to George Clooney.

The distinction between private and public undermines the unity of spiritual strength, draining the public of the transcendent energies while trivializing them because the merely private life provides no proper stage for their action.

Loretta Young

Jim Rohn

With my schedule being so crazy, I can't call every day or hang out with my friends like I used to and that's definitely sad.

Jordin Sparks
