Every one is a genius, more or less. No one is so physically sound that no part of him will be even a little unsound, and no one is so diseased but that some part of him will be healthy -- so no man is so mentally and morally sound, but that he will be in part both mad and wicked; and no man is so mad and wicked but he will be sensible and honourable in part. In like manner there is no genius who is not also a fool, and no fool who is not also a genius.

Of all the roles I've played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.

Annette Funicello

My friends ask me why I still live with my family, but I feel comfortable there. We've all been through so much together.

Shaun White

I've had the good fortune to have a much more diverse life than most people would, professional sports and television and news and movies.

Ted Turner

Hatred paralyses life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once

Aristotle

O me, you juggler, you canker-blossom, you thief of love!

William Shakespeare

Don't try to make children grow up to be like you, or they may do it.

Russell Baker

Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.

Bertrand Russell

When you go to buy, use your eyes not your ears.

Proverb

Then all at once our personal and political quarrels were made very abruptly to converge. In the special edition of the published to mark the events of September 11, 2001, Edward painted a picture of an almost fascist America where Arab and Muslim citizens were being daily terrorized by pogroms, these being instigated by men like Paul Wolfowitz who had talked of 'ending' the regimes that sheltered Al Quaeda. Again, I could hardly credit that these sentences were being produced by a cultured person, let alone printed by a civilized publication.

Christopher Hitchens

You were meant for me, Poppy. I can feel it in my fingertips when I touch you.

Tess Oliver

If not now, when?
