To a crisis of the spirit, we need an answer of the spirit.To find that answer, we need only look within ourselves.When we listen to the better angels of our nature, we find that they celebrate the simple things, the basic things--such as goodness, decency, love, kindness.Greatness comes in simple trappings.

Even the smallest victory is never to be taken for granted. Each victory must be applauded...

Audre Lorde

My sister has three kids so I've spent a lot of time around children and I've always really liked them and wanted my own. It's cool because you think all babies are the same but they aren't at all. They all have such different personalities. It's crazy.

Bode Miller

So I think it is common knowledge that Hitchcock had fantasies or whatever you want to call them about his leading ladies.

Tippi Hedren

Me shooting 40% at the foul line is just God's way to say nobody's perfect.

Shaquille O'Neal

Usually I design the lighting and when I have the physical set there, I'm not good at going out loosely and saying, 'Do you what you want, give it to the editor, and he'll figure it out.' I physically then walk on with the actors and I say, 'Let's walk until you guys feel the space works for you, and tell me when all that happens.'

Tarsem Singh

With out art, without communicating, we wouldn't live beyond 30 because we'd be so sad and depressed.

Wayne Coyne

If everyone fought only for his own convictions, there would be no wars.

Leo Tolstoy

I can't design anything unless I'm excited by it, meaning I have an urge to wear it.

Rachel Roy

After reading all that has been written, and after thinking all that can be thought, on the topics of God and the soul, the man who has a right to say that he thinks at all, will find himself face to face with the conclusion that, on these topics, the most profound thought is that which can be the least easily distinguished from the most superficial sentiment.

Edgar Allan Poe

I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion --I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more --I could be martyred for my religion --Love is my religion --I could die for that.

John Keats

If in the opinion of the People, the distribution or modification of the Constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.

George Washington

The trouble is not that players have sex the night before a game. It's that they stay out all night looking for it.
