The emphasis must be not on the right to abortion but on the right to privacy and reproductive control.

When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student, but I didn't care. I was getting the high fives and the low fives and the pats on the back. I was cool.

Benjamin Carson

Jazz stands for freedom. It's supposed to be the voice of freedom: Get out there and improvise, and take chances, and don't be a perfectionist - leave that to the classical musicians.

Dave Brubeck

People tend not to use this word beauty because it's not intellectual - but there has to be an overlap between beauty and intellect.

Tadao Ando

Paradoxically, we fail to disclose ourselves to other people because we want so much to be loved. Because we feel that way we present ourselves as someone we think can be loved and accepted, and we conceal whatever would mar that image. Another reason we hide is to protect ourselves from change. . . Still another reason we don't disclose ourselves is that we were never taught how. . . Personal ambitions and economic pressures also give us powerful reasons for concealing what we really are. . . All of us hide behind the iron curtain of our public selves. . . Men hide what prevents them from seeming strong and masculine. . . Disclosure is so important (because) without it we really cannot know ourselves. Or to put it another way, we learn to deceive ourselves while we are trying to deceive others. For example, if I never express my sorrow, my love, my joy, I'll smother those feelings in myself until I almost forget they were once part of me.

Sidney Jourard

Elizabeth Gilbert

All wrong doing is done in the sincere belief that it is the best thing to do.

Arnold Bennett

They just didn't have the sense of the strength of their vote. Just thought it wasn't necessary.

Charles Phillips

Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy; the mad daughter of a wise mother.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.
