If I've learned anything in my life, it's that God has the habit of asking you to do the very thing you think you can't do.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Justin Timberlake is everything, and what more could you want in a person? He's funny. He's cute. He's great. He just understands. I get him and he gets me, and that's cool.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my administration has been minding my own business.

Calvin Coolidge

I often begin movies with music in my head it's a very important dimension to me. Not just the music itself, but how to use music in film: when and how and subtlety. I don't like to be too sweet in my stories, and I like the abrasive clang, the contrasting of sounds and cultures.

Mira Nair

I am cursed with computers something always goes wrong.

Carla Bruni

Human life is not some sort of race or game in which each person should start from an identical mark. It is an attempt by each man to be as happy as possible. And each person could not begin from the same point, for the world has not just come into being; it is diverse and infinitely varied in its parts. The mere fact that one individual is necessarily born in a different place from someone else immediately insures that his inherited opportunity cannot be the same as his neighbor's. The drive for equality of opportunity would also require the abolition of the family since different parents have unequal abilities; it would require the communal rearing of children. The State would have to nationalize all babies and raise them in State nurseries under 'equal' conditions. But even here conditions cannot be the same, because different State officials will themselves have different abilities and personalities. And equality can never be achieved because of necessary differences of location.

Murray N. Rothbard

I pray daily... for peace.

Paul O'Neill

This could never be a crime in any society which deems himself enlightened.
