I am a fighter. I believe in that which is right, and the truth is, I have been the Lone Ranger for the past thirty years and I will not give up the fight. I love my public and I'll fight for you. I'll continue to make personal appearances for my thousands of fans.

Wherever a story comes from, whether it is a familiar myth or a private memory, the retelling exemplifies the making of a connection from one pattern to another: a potential translation in which narrative becomes parable and the once upon a time comes to stand for some renascent truth. This approach applies to all the incidents of everyday life: the phrase in the newspaper, the endearing or infuriating game of a toddler, the misunderstanding at the office. Our species thinks in metaphors and learns through stories.

Mary Catherine Bateson

People in north Michigan are not different at all from people in southern Alabama. Trust me, someone who's spent a lot of time in both places. They're all hardworking, simple people.

Kid Rock

It's amazing, it doesn't feel like it has been 10 years since retirement.

Gabriela Sabatini

I think a lot of people are frightened of technology and frightened of change, and the way to deal with something you're frightened of is to make fun of it. That's why science fiction fans are dismissed as geeks and nerds.

Iain Banks

The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.

Gustave Flaubert

What is sure is that technological change is accelerating in all directions and, like children playing in a fountain, consumers are reveling in the experience.

Simon Mainwaring

The right of an inventor to his invention is no monopoly; in any other sense than a man's house is a monopoly.

Daniel Webster

I made some friends who are still friends, and this is the city of my birth. I love living here when there's a reason to, other than just moving here. I still don't like the winters here, but it's an amazing city and I love it.

Michael McKean

I'm a very analytical person, a somewhat introspective person that's the nature of the work I do.

Joni Mitchell

If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.

Socrates

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

Mark Twain

Anger itself does more harm than the condition which aroused anger.

David O. McKay
