I think a good mom is an awake mom. At least for me, I've always been a kinder, better person awake than sleep-deprived!

Lisa Loeb

If the king loves music, there is little wrong in the land.

Mencius

At times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.

Bob Dylan

Since Hiroshima and the Holocaust, science no longer holds its pristine place as the highest moral authority. Instead, that role is taken by human rights. It follows that any assault on Jewish life - on Jews or Judaism or the Jewish state - must be cast in the language of human rights.

Jonathan Sacks

To make a rock'n'roll record, technology is the least important thing.

Keith Richards

A woman knows by intuition, or instinct, what is best for herself.

Marilyn Monroe

The great safeguard of society and of domestic life was, that opinions were not acted on. Sane people did what their neighbors did, so that if any lunatics were at large, one might know and avoid them.

George Eliot

The secret of poetry is never explained - is always new. We have not got farther than mere wonder at the delicacy of the touch

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is fired at us point blank.

Jose Ortega y Gasset

Friedrich Nietzsche

Nothing is quite so wretchedly corrupt as an aristocracy which has lost its power but kept its wealth and which still has endless leisure to devote to nothing but banal enjoyments. All its great thoughts and passionate energy are things of the past, and nothing but a host of petty, gnawing vices now cling to it like worms to a corpse.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Abdu'l-Baha
