She hated that little voice inside her head. Like the Seelie Queen, it planted doubts where there shouldn't be doubts, asked questions that had no answer.

Some folks look at me and see a certain swagger, which in Texas is called 'walking.'

George W. Bush

If somebody never gets enough of you, they will always want more

Ashly Lorenzana

These names: gay, queer, homosexual are limiting. I would love to finish with them. We're going to have to decide which terms to use and where we use them. For me to use the word queer is a liberation; it was a word that frightened me, but no longer.

Derek Jarman

You never know really what anyone thinks about you - that's why all my closest friends are ones I've had since my schooling days when I was 5. And I surround myself with people who I trust and who know me.

Dominic Cooper

Who is wise He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful He that governs his passions. Who is rich He who is content. Who is that Nobody.

Benjamin Franklin

On your quest to spirituality it is often required to suspend your rationality; but true spirituality asks that you enhance your rationality.

Steve Maraboli

My attitude toward graduate students was different, I must say. I used graduate students as colleagues: I gave them the best problems to work on, and I encouraged them.

Frank Press

Honor and shame from no condition rise; Act well your part, there all the honor lies.

Alexander Pope

'It is the job of thinking people, not to be on the side of the executioners.

Albert Camus

It is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when the use of reason is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs.

Aristotle

As we look over the list of the early leaders of the republic, Washington, John Adams, Hamilton, and others, we discern that they were all men who insisted upon being themselves and who refused to truckle to the people. With each succeeding generation, the growing demand of the people that its elective officials shall not lead but merely register the popular will has steadily undermined the independence of those who derive their power from popular election. The persistent refusal of the Adamses to sacrifice the integrity of their own intellectual and moral standards and values for the sake of winning public office or popular favor is another of the measuring rods by which we may measure the divergence of American life from its starting point.

James Truslow Adams

The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself.

Mark Twain
