Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art it is the part the schools cannot recognize.

But you say, does it represent change? The change is that we are fighting an insurance industry that has killed health reform for generations. They're spending tens of millions of dollars right now to defeat this bill, and we're on the doorstep of winning a great victory for the American people.

David Axelrod

I never let anyone pluck, including myself, unless my mom approves. She guards my eyebrows. She's like the eyebrow police!

Isabelle Fuhrman

Mistakes are a fact of life it is the response to error that counts.

Nikki Giovanni

I like a woman with a head on her shoulders. I hate necks.

Steve Martin

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot, Phili

E. J. Hobsbawm

This Sunday School has been of help to me, greater perhaps than any other force in my Christian life, and I can ask no better things for you than that you, and all that shall come after you in this great band of workers for Christ, shall receive the same measure of blessedness which I have been permitted to have.

John D. Rockefeller

How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of the earth is sacred to my people.

Chief Seattle

Beware Of entrance to a quarrel but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy rich, not gaudy For the apparel oft proclaims the man.

William Shakespeare

What you know about the people whom you know at all well is truly amazing, even though you have never formulated it.

Harry Stack Sullivan

His claim to his home is deep, but there are too many ghosts. He must absorb without being absorbed.

Willie Morris

it is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
