It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening.

If you shut the door to all errors, truth will be shut out.

Rabindranath Tagore

The truth is an ambition which is beyond us.

Peter Ustinov

We're in a new world. We're in a world in which the possibility of terrorism, married up with technology, could make us very, very sorry that we didn't act.

Condoleezza Rice

In New York I pretty much live in diners - I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.

Lana Del Rey

The ability of the 1 percent to buy politicians and regulators is nothing new in American politics - just as inequality has been a permanent part of our economic system. This is true of virtually all political and economic systems.

Eric Alterman

Show business has been really, really good to me because I can work and take a lot of time off, and I'm extremely undisciplined person.

Meryl Streep

Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.

Brooke Shields

Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada; pues nada. Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee.

Ernest Hemingway

How many attractions for us have our passing fellows in the streets, both male and female, which our ethics forbid us to express, which yet infuse so much pleasure into life. A lovely child, a handsome youth, a beautiful girl, a heroic man, a maternal woman, a venerable old man, charm us, though strangers, and we cannot say so, or look at them but for a moment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Journal, No

Jane Austen

I don't know what has happened to movies, but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic - a movie about Gandhi something with very important subject matters.

Ethan Hawke

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Thomas Jefferson
