It flattered her, where she was most susceptible of flattery, to think how, wound about in their hearts, however long they lived she would be woven...

But one of the hardest things for me to do was to access anger. I could do it on stage. But when I did it on film it was hard for me. That probably has to do with the intimacy of film. And my own personal issues with expressing anger. So I had to learn how to do that.

Ellen Barkin

He that loves to be flattered is worthy of the flatterer.

Public and private food in America has become eatable, here and there extremely good. Only the fried potatoes go unchanged, as deadly as before.

Luigi Barzini, O America, 1977

There's a thing that keeps surprising you about stormy old friends after they die; their silence.

Ben Becht

Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.

Robert Browning

For there was never yet philosopher that could endure the toothache patiently.

William Shakespeare

It was not a healthy marriage for long time. It was never about another man, it was about what my and Dennis's relationship could not sustain.

Meg Ryan

The supreme prayer of my heart is not to be learned, rich, famous, powerful, or good, but simply to be radiant. I desire to radiate health, cheerfulness, calm courage, and good will. I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural, clean in mind and clean in body, unaffected - as ready to say I do not know, if it be so, and to meet all men on an absolute equality - to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid.I wish others to live their lives, too - up to their highest, fullest, and best. To that end I pray that I may never meddle, interfere, dictate, give advice that is not wanted, or assist when my services are not needed. If I can help people, I'll do it by giving them a chance to help themselves; and if I can uplift or inspire, let it be by example, inference, and suggestion, rather than by injunction and dictation. That is to say, I desire to be radiant - to radiate life.

Elbert Hubbard, Love, Life & Wor

When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Kahlil Gibran

President Obama's call for nearly a half-trillion dollars in more government stimulus when America has more than $14 trillion in debt is guided by his mistaken belief that we can spend our way to prosperity.

Rick Perry

My school colors were clear. We used to say, I'm not naked, I'm in the band.
