I don't care what the religion is called as far as I'm concerned, one God, the God I adhere to, is in charge of all of them.

I like to think the movies that I've picked have something worthwhile to say. Something relevant.

Mark Ruffalo

The art of government is to make two-thirds of a nation pay all it possibly can pay for the benefit of the other third.

Voltaire

It's easy for people in an air-conditioned room to continue with the policies of destruction of Mother Earth. We need instead to put ourselves in the shoes of families in Bolivia and worldwide that lack water and food and suffer misery and hunger.

Evo Morales

Inspiration may be a form of super-consciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness -- I wouldn't know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self-consciousness.

Aaron Copland

According to other writers, it is the women who last longest in sieges, the young men who soonest fall into that deadly lethargy that precedes actual death. But the account is accurate enough: that is what a siege is like. Moreover, that is what it is meant to be like. When a city is encircled and deprived of food, it is not the expectation of the attackers that the garrison will hold out until individual soldiers... drop dead in the streets. The death of ordinary inhabitants of the city is expected to force the hand of the civilian or military leadership. The goal is surrender; the means is not the defeat of the enemy army, but the fearful spectacle of the civilian dead.

Michael Walzer, Just and Unjust

I remember the first pangs of stress arriving at the end of school. Once I graduated I had to get a full-time job, worry about health insurance, saving money, paying rent - things I'd never thought about before.

Ezra Koenig

To love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Emily Dickinson

We are injured and hurt emotionally, Not so much by other people or what they say and don't say, But by our own attitude and our own response.

Maxwell Maltz

Perception is merely reality filtered through the prism of your soul.

Christopher A. Ray

I can do something else besides stuff a ball through a hoop. My biggest resource is my mind.

Kareem AbdulJabbar

Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts.

Sigmund Freud

Women are most fascinating between the ages of 35 and 40 after they have won a few races and know how to pace themselves. Since few women ever pass 40, maximum fascination can continue indefinitely.
