No great advance has ever been made in science, politics, or religion, without controversy.

This is truly a blessing. Breyon Prescott, Peter Edge and Tom Corson believe in me and have introduced me to a home that also believes and knows exactly what to do with the type of music I'm doing.

Brandy Norwood

Hate can only flourish where love is absent.

William C. Menninger

At man's core there is a voice that wants him never to give in to fear. But if it is true that in general man cannot give in to fear, at the very least he postpones indefinitely the moment when he will have to confront himself with the object of his fear... when he will no longer have the assistance of reason as guaranteed by God, or when he will no longer have the assistance of God such as reason guaranteed. It is necessary to recoil, but it is necessary to leap, and perhaps one only recoils in order to leap better.

Georges Bataille

The world makes up for all its follies and injustices by being damnably sentimental.

Thomas Henry Huxley

The words kept coming back to him, statement of a mystical truth and a palpable absurdity.

George Orwell

My idea of heaven is a great big baked potato and someone to share it with.

Oprah Winfrey

I've done it all. I'm thankful and proud of what I've accomplished in my life. I hope to keep doing it.

Ralph Stanley

I've got CDs in my car, listening all the time for that next song, because everybody's looking.

Reba McEntire

How can I expect readers to know who I am if I do not tell them about my family, my friends, the relationships in my life? Who am I if not where I fit in the world, where I fit in the lives of the people dear to me?

Rabih Alameddine

Without the quest, there can be no epiphany.

Constantine E. Scaros

Sewaktu kanak-kanak aku percaya pada cinta, sama seperti aku percaya pada peri. Namun pada suatu hari aku mencari di celah-celah kayu dan di balik tudung-tudung jamur. Dan aku tidak menemukan peri atau makhluk-makhluk gaib, hanya lumut, jamur, tanah, dan serangga...Serangga itu bukannya berciuman, melainkan saling memangsa

Susanna Tamaro

In any relationship that comes to an end, there's never just a baseline reason why. You say, 'Oh, I broke up with my girlfriend.' Someone says, 'Why?' You say, 'Well, you got three hours? And then maybe after I tell you my version, you've got to talk to her.'
