I am interested in a lot of things - not just show business and my passion for animals. I try to keep current in what's going on in the world. I do mental exercises. I don't have any trouble memorizing lines because of the crossword puzzles I do every day to keep my mind a little limber. I don't sit and vegetate.

It's wonderful to have the most important thing in the world there first thing in the morning. And especially in this business, where the opportunity to think everything is about you is there every day, now I really know that it isn't all about me.

Kate Beckinsale

Material blessings, when they pay beyond the category of need, are weirdly fruitful of headache.

Philip Wylie

Laws, like houses, lean on one another.

Edmund Burke

You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes.

Alan Watts

Order is the shape upon which beauty depends.

Pearl S. Buck

Crime is naught but misdirected energy.

Emma Goldman

The wavering multitude is divided into opposite factions.

Virgil

We tend to live up to our expectations.

Earl Nightingale

Psychobabble is... a set of repetitive verbal formalities that kills off the very spontaneity, candor, and understanding it pretends to promote. It's an idiom that reduces psychological insight to a collection of standardized observations, that provides a frozen lexicon to deal with an infinite variety of problems.

Richard D. Rosen

Children seldom have a proper sense of their own tragedy, discounting and keeping hidden the true horrors of their short lives, humbly imagining real calamity to be some prestigious drama of the grown-up world.

Shirley Hazzard

I stand before you today because this vision of government as the engine of opportunity is what I believe in.

Eliot Spitzer

AP promoted me to the White House beat because I knew Clinton, his family, friends, and staff better than anybody in the national press corps. Those contacts helped me break a few stories and get my career in Washington jump-started.
