From about eight years old I was always making things on the sewing machine. Friends would see me making dresses and costumes, and I'd use difficult fabrics such as Lycra and elastic. But you know, my dad was creative and my brother is inventive too.

CULTIVATE THE GOOD WITHIN

Cormier

It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts!

Adlai Stevenson

Inexorable facts connect our consciousness with this body that we know; and that not merely as a whole, but the parts of it are connected severally with parts of our brain-action. If there is any similar connexion with a spiritual body, it only follows that the spiritual body must die at the same time with the natural one. Consider a mountain rill. It runs down in the sunshine, and its water evaporates; yet it is fed by thousands of tiny tributaries, and the stream flows on. The water may be changed again and again, yet still there is the same stream. It widens over plains, or is prisoned and fouled by towns; always the same stream, but at last 'even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea.' When than happens, no drop of water is lost, but the stream is dead.

William Kingdon Clifford, Lectur

I dress up a certain way because I respect the music.

Wynton Marsalis

I think it's important to get your surroundings as well as yourself into a positive state - meaning surround yourself with positive people, not the kind who are negative and jealous of everything you do.

Heidi Klum

The myth of the liberal media empowers conservatives to control debate in the United States to the point where liberals cannot even hope for a fair shake anymore.

Eric Alterman

Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the twentieth century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press.

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn

In taking revenge a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior.

Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia

A court is a place where what was confused before becomes more unsettled than ever.

Henry Waldorf Francis

Remembering is painful, it's difficult, but it can be inspiring and it can give wisdom.

Paul Greengrass

Virtue is a habit of the mind, consistent with nature and moderation and reason.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Art owes its origin to Nature herself... this beautiful creation, the world, supplied the first model, while the original teacher was that divine intelligence which has not only made us superior to the other animals, but like God Himself, if I may venture to say it.

Giorgio Vasari
