I didn't need clothes. I was allowed the opportunity to act out moments you don't get the opportunity to experience in your own life, let alone as a character in a film. I didn't feel naked.

Why does truth carry such a dreadful face? Why does subjugation carry such a happy mask? It becomes sad when people understand that they can lead a better life as long as they bow their heads, ignoring the truth.

Lionel Suggs

We lose the right of complaining sometimes, by denying something, but this often triples its force.

Laurence Sterne

When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.

Ben Hecht

Men are so willing to respect anything that bores them.

Marilyn Monroe

If you have the same ideas as everybody else but have them one week earlier than everyone else then you will be hailed as a visionary. But if you have them five years earlier you will be named a lunatic.

Barry Jones

Every germ of goodness will at last struggle into bloom and fruitage;...true success follows every right step.

Orison Swett Marden

It's okay to be a fat man. It's prestige and power and all of that. But fat women are seen as just lazy and stupid and having no self-control.

Camryn Manheim

I've always overworked in the weight room. I love working with weights. I knew they'd give me the strength I needed.

Florence Griffith Joyner

And if one is to express the great inevitable defeat that awaits us all, it must be done within the strict confines of dignity and beauty.

Leonard Cohen

There are official searchers, inquisitors. I have seen them in the performance of their function: they always arrive extremely tired from their journeys; they speak of a broken stairway which almost killed them; they talk with the librarian of galleries and stairs; sometimes they pick up the nearest volume and leaf through it, looking for infamous words. Obviously, no one expects to discover anything.

Jorge Luis Borges

I cannot choose but adhere to the word of God, which has possession of my conscience; nor can I possibly, nor will I even make any recantation, since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience! Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, so help me God! Amen.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I love having my birthday at Australia Zoo.
