I didn't want to have braces when I was a kid and I'm pretty sure my dad didn't want to pay for them.

Justice is never given it is exacted and the struggle must be continuous for freedom is never a final fact, but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic, political and religious relationship.

I think my fans will follow me into our combined old age. Real musicians and real fans stay together for a long, long time.

[Re: Rom 10:2] It is commonly said: The intention is good, and the purpose is true, but the means are misused. The goal which they seek is correct; but the way is wrong by which they endeavor to reach the goal. They want to go east and instead they are going west. The arrogant zeal of good intentions does the same today. The Apostle expresses himself very mildly when he says not according to knowledge. He wishes this to be understood in the sense that they set about with blind zeal, unwise urgency, and foolish purpose. That is the greatest danger; and it should serve us as an example that we may speak of the faults of the neighbor with mildness.

My father was brought up in an orphanage in the Catskills. He was a factory worker. And because his family wasn't there for him, family was everything.

You see that's what I think is such a terrible, terrible betrayal, the trust that people have in government.

What destroys us most effectively is not a malign fate but our own capacity for self-deception and for degrading our own best self.

George Eliot

I would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing.

Uma Thurman

Honesty and loyalty are key. If two people can be honest with each other about everything, that's probably the biggest key to success.

Taylor Lautner

To let the people know there was life beyond Shirley Dean, we decided to focus on voter registration; each day I set up my card table somewhere in the district, signed people up, and passed out noses.
