I've always been interested in gadgets and technology and I've always been a reader.

I owe all my originality, such as it is, to my determination not to be a literary man. Instead of belonging to a literary club I belong to a municipal council. Instead of drinking and discussing authors and reviews, I sit on committees with capable practical greengrocers and bootmakers... Keep away from books and from men who get their ideas from books, and your own books will always be fresh.

George Bernard Shaw

I will not have my son grow up in a tension-filled home.

Christina Aguilera

Broderick Crawford

Land really is the best art.

Andy Warhol

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four

George Orwell

All history is but the lengthened shadow of a great man

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I had ridiculous amounts of energy. Mom's like, you're driving me crazy - do you want to try gymnastics? From the moment I started it, I loved it and it kind of was like storybook from there.

Alicia Sacramone

The greatest analgesic, soporific, stimulant, tranquilizer, narcotic, and to some extent even antibiotic --in short, the closest thing to a genuine panacea --known to medical science is work.

Thomas Szasz

A man may learn wisdom even from a foe.

Aristophanes

I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you.

Ann Richards

Our work is before us. It cannot be passed to future legislatures and must not be passed to future generations. May we boldly seize the moment with singular unity. And may we build a Texas of unlimited possibility.

Rick Perry

I think my securities far outweigh my insecurities. I am not nearly as afraid of myself and my imagination as I used to be.
