What good is it being Marilyn Monroe? Why can't I just be an ordinary woman?

I was in uniform for four years, and I know that heroism doesn't occur from taking orders, but rather from people who through their own willpower and strength are willing to sacrifice their lives for an idea.

Thor Heyerdahl

Any young man who is unmarried at the age of twenty one is a menace to the community.

Brigham Young

There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time; the reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised; for the question often arrives a terribly long time after the answer.

Oscar Wilde

The Christian's chief occupational hazards are depression and discouragement.

John R. Stott

I think it's really cool, but Jimmy Eat World and Gin Blossoms did it better than anyone. People don't realize just how awesome the Arizona history is, especially for alternative music. Growing up, that's all I ever wanted to be was those two bands.

Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever. It implies a discovery of weakness, which we are more careful to conceal than a crime. Many a man will confess his crimes to a friend; but I never knew a man that would tell his silly weaknesses to his most intimate one.

Lord Chesterfield

Troubles impending always seem worse than troubles surmounted, but this does not prove that they really are.

Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.

Why don't you want to do what you know you should do? The reason you don't is that you're in conflict with yourself.

Tom Hopkins

I dropped out of school for a semester, transferred to another college, switched to an art major, graduated, got married, and for a while worked as a graphic designer.

James Green Somerville

The world is not going into concentric blocs of power. It is actually going into a diffusion of power with more centres of decision-making than ever in human civilisation. That requires you to place yourself in far more hubs of power than ever before.

William Hague

Music is hugely important to me.

Rashida Jones

I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is.

Michael J. Fox
