I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.

Sandra Bullock

Truth is something which can't be told in a few words. Those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning.

Anais Nin

In a Glasser Quality School there is no such thing as a closed book test. Students are told to get out their notes and open their books. There is no such thing as being forbidden to ask the teacher or another student for help.

William Glasser

Many people flounder about in life because they do not have a purpose, an objective toward which to work.

George Halas

It was his peculiar doctrine that a man has a perfect right to interfere by force with the slaveholder, in order to rescue the slave. I agree with him. They who are continually shocked by slavery have some right to be shocked by the violent death of the slaveholder, but no others.

Henry David Thoreau

What torments my soul is its loneliness. The more it expands among friends and the daily habits or pleasures, the more, it seems to me, it flees me and retires into its fortress. The poet who lives in solitude, but who produces much, is the one who enjoys those treasures we bear in our bosom, but which forsake us when we give ourselves to others. When one yields oneself completely to one's soul, it opens itself to one, and then it is that the capricious thing allows one the greatest of good fortunes... that of sympathizing with others, of studying itself, of painting itself constantly in its works.

Eugene Delacroix

Acting has given me a way to channel my angst. I feel like an overweight, pimply faced kid a lot of the time - and finding a way to access that insecurity, and put it toward something creative is incredibly rewarding. I feel very lucky.

Ryan Reynolds

Albert Einstein

I love children and I get along with them great. It's just that I believe if you're going to be a parent, there has to be something inside you that says, 'I want a family.' I don't feel that sense of urgency.

George Clooney

The more we exploit nature, The more our options are reduced, until we have only one: to fight for survival.

Morris K. Udall

If this man had not twelve thousand a year, he would be a very stupid fellow.

Jane Austen

Every writer since the beginning of time, just like other people, has been afflicted by what a friend of mine calls
