I'm probably the least flexible athlete you'll find. When it comes to yoga, I can't get in the positions and I can't hold them. You have to be pretty flexible to do it. Once you get certain positions, you have to have the core strength to hold those positions. It's a pretty good workout.

Armies are necessary, before all things, for the defense of governments from their own oppressed and enslaved subjects.

Leo Tolstoy

Leave her to heaven And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge, To prick and sting her.

Sigmund Freud

Allowing children to show their guilt, show their grief, show their anger, takes the sting out of the situation.

Good free verse is not at all easy to write, for there is no repetitive beat to lull the reader's critical faculty, much pattern and discipline is to be found in it, though the pattern of sounds and choice of exact words, gives it its beauty.

Marjorie Boulton

I'm a nice, happily married wife and mom and I live in Connecticut.

Christine Baranski

The explanation of the propensity of the English people to portrait painting is to be found in their relish for a Fact. Let a man do the grandest things, fight the greatest battles, or be distinguished by the most brilliant personal heroism, yet the English people would prefer his portrait to a painting of the great deed. The likeness they can judge of; his existence is a Fact. But the truth of the picture of his deeds they cannot judge of, for they have no imagination.

Benjamin Haydon

If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me, not because of somebody else.

Salman Khan

The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.

George Bernard Shaw

If there's one thing I really want for my birthday, that is for the mining company not to mine my daddy's reserve.

Bindi Irwin

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

Wayne Dyer

I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.

Brian Eno
