I'm on the board of a national group called Faith in America. It's designed to fight religious-based bigotry.

The teacher, like the artist and the philosopher, can perform his work adequately only if he feels himself to be an individual directed by an inner creative impulse, not dominated and fettered by an outside authority.

Bertrand Russell

It was really fun being in Tara's trailer, working on my lines. Tara is such an amazing actress. She's so good at what she does. I learned a lot from watching her.

Carson Daly

A fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe, and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Logic is one thing, the human animal another. You can quite easily propose a logical solution to something and at the same time hope in your heart of hearts it won't work out.

Luigi Pirandello

The conduct of men depends upon the temperament, not upon a bunch of musty maxims.

Benjamin Disraeli

We cannot expect that all nations will adopt like systems, for conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.

John F. Kennedy

I would not anticipate the relish of any happiness, nor feel the weight of any misery, before it actually arrives.

Anon., Unattributed Author, Spec

The invalid is a parasite on society. In a certain state it is indecent to go on living. To vegetate on in cowardly dependence on physicians and medicaments after the meaning of life, the right to life, has been lost ought to entail the profound contempt of society.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end... I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

Abraham Lincoln

Experience is the extract of suffering.

Sir Arthur Helps

Love is a conflict between reflexes and reflections.

Mangnu Hirschfield

We shall give up the things of childhood -- gods and demons, planets and suns, guilts and regrets.
