When I got my PhD, it was a time when there were just no jobs for PhDs. Period. PhDs were getting the lowest paid technician jobs, if they were lucky, in any kind of science.

I wish that there were more stringent laws to make guns sold anywhere that they're legal harder to get.

Swedes are such a civilised, perfect society - at least on the surface. There's a great safety net, a huge middle class, free education, free health care. People are very polite, they wait their turn. They're not too loud, they're not too quiet, but sometimes it's a little too perfect.

Alexander Skarsgard

In the beginning, New York and I had kind of a love-hate relationship. It seemed so abrasive compared to Europe. But the transformation here in recent years is really something. I don't think I would have seen as much change if I'd lived in any other city in the world.

Shalom Harlow

I know of no greater work for humanity than in the cause of peace, which can only be achieved by the earnest efforts of nations and peoples.

Frank B. Kellogg

I love all the old classic Disney movies. 'Pinocchio.' There are obviously tons of them that anybody growing up on that stuff takes with them their whole lives, and I'm an admirer of a lot of classic animation and fairy tales. I grew up on a book of Grimm's fairy tales that I kind of wore out again and again. That's all stuff that lingers with you.

Gary Ross

A truly creative person rids him or herself of all self-imposed limitations.

Gerald G. Jampolsky

To a crisis of the spirit, we need an answer of the spirit.To find that answer, we need only look within ourselves.When we listen to the better angels of our nature, we find that they celebrate the simple things, the basic things--such as goodness, decency, love, kindness.Greatness comes in simple trappings.

Richard Milhous Nixon, First Ina

The General Strike has taught the working class more in four days than years of talking could have done.

Arthur Balfour

Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

Nelson Mandela

Out, damned spot! out, I say!

William Shakespeare

I am constantly amazed by Tina Fey. And I am Tina Fey.
