Fair seedtime had my soul, and I grew up Fostered alike by beauty and by fear.

It's wonderful to be appreciated for being quirky, and to see Zooey Deschanel and the quirky, indie film types get mainstream play is amazing for women, because women are much more complicated than what we've see on TV in the past.

Mayim Bialik

All men dream, but unequally. Those that dream at night in the dusty recesses of their minds awake the next day to find that their dreams were just vanity. But those who dream during the day with their eyes wide open are dangerous men; they act out their dreams to make them reality.

Thomas E. Lawrence

Andrew Carnegie

I played a great horse yesterday! It took seven horses to beat him.

Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding.

Gian Carlo Menotti

There's a very big gulf between the black civil rights leadership in America and the black middle class in America. The black middle class are conservative. Many of those minorities can be persuaded to be members of the Republican Party.

Often, the surest way to convey misinformation is to tell the strict truth.
