We cannot discuss the state of our minorities until we first have some sense of what we are, who we are, what our goals are, and what we take life to be. The question is not what we can do now for the hypothetical Mexican, the hypothetical Negro. The question is what we really want out of life, for ourselves, what we think is real.

What's the best part of a movie? I love to know what my name is. It's just so fun. That's the first thing I ask. It's just fun because you have a different name in every movie.

Elle Fanning

Wisdom is that apprehension of heavenly things to which the spirit rises through love.

Honore de Balzac

Books and all forms of writing are terror to those who wish to suppress the truth.

Wole Soyinka

Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it joy?

Andrea Dworkin

We need real leadership, Democrat, Republican and independent to stand up and say, we have to live within our means.

Tom Coburn

After all my erstwhile dear, my no longer cherished; Need we say it was not love, just because it perished?

Edna St. Vincent Millay

The thing that impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children.

Edward Windsor

Never run into debt, not if you can find anything else to run into.

Josh Billings

The laughter of the world is merely loneliness pathetically trying to reassure itself.

Neal A. Maxwell

Anger is short madness

Horace

Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.

George Orwell

People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Always have something ahead of you to look forward to -- to work for and hope for.

Maxwell Maltz
