Half the battle is selling music, not singing it. It's the image, not what you sing.

The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.

Freda Adler

My heart's with you, Bill, no matter how it turns out. My heart is with all of them, and I think that, even if we forget each other, we'll remember in our dreams.

Stephen King

It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.

Lillian Hellman

I'm the most inappropriate dad. I curse in front of my kids and their friends. I let my kids watch R-rated movies. I'll walk by the movie theater and say, 'Let's go see that,' and my kids will say, 'No, it's rated R. It's not appropriate for kids.' I'm like Uncle Dad. We have fun. I don't live with them, but I drive over four days a week.

Marlon Wayans

Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

Mark Twain

God, Himself, wrote the 10 into stone with his own finger. He told the epic of mankind, our origins and our future, in a book. For me, there is no more noble a cause and no more honorable a vocation than to say, like Him, I am a writer.

Gerard de Marigny

The country that is more developed industrially only shows, to the less developed, the image of its own future.

Karl Marx

People are fed up with the politics where candidates just rip each other apart and then the voters lose in the end because no one really knows what anybody stands for.

Dennis Kucinich

I'm a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I'm commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car.

Murray Walker

I could be on 52nd and Third in Manhattan up and ask a strange for directions and they will help you, that's a rural heart. Your car breaks down in the middle of Iowa or somewhere, or Tennessee where I'm from, people want to help each other. Given each opportunity, you see how people come together.

Rodney Atkins

Happiness is in contentment, gratitude, and love. It is a lifestyle, not a location.

Ogwo David Emenike

Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.

John Dewey
