Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

The blood of Jesus Christ can cover a multitude of sins, it seems to me.

Denis Diderot

No one's going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences. Language would be helpful, although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude.

Rupert Murdoch

The need for change bulldozed road down the center of my mind.

Maya Angelou

If those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.

Howard Zinn

Few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning.

Virginia Woolf

Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.

Francis Beaumont

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

Jim Carrey

He is a gentleman, and I am a gentleman's daughter. So far we are equal.

Jane Austen

Americans are in a cycle of fear which leads to people not wanting to spend and not wanting to make investments, and that leads to more fear. We'll break out of it. It takes time.

Warren Buffett

Liberty will not descend to a people; a people must raise themselves to liberty; it is a blessing that must be earned before it can be enjoyed.

Charles Caleb Colton

I'm fed up with the idiots... the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.

Sean Connery

Democrats are people who raise your taxes and spend your money on weird stuff. They steal your guns, and they spit on your faith.

Grover Norquist
