I just think Texas and that whole Bible Belt section is so, like, corporate. And I don't agree with organized religion in that respect.

Sometimes, I feel like one who is on the sidelines, who has missed life itself.

Nelson Mandela

Unconsciously we all have a standard by which we measure other men, and if we examine closely we find that this standard is a very simple one, and is this: we admire them, we envy them, for great qualities we ourselves lack. Hero worship consists in just that. Our heroes are men who do things which we recognize, with regret, and sometimes with a secret shame, that we cannot do. We find not much in ourselves to admire, we are always privately wanting to be like somebody else. If everybody was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.

Mark Twain

Clint Eastwood

When I was a little girl, rocking my little dolls, I remember thinking I would be the world's best mom, and so far I've done it.

Jenny McCarthy

It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.

Andrew Wyeth

I never weary of great churches. It is my favorite kind of mountain scenery. Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Everyone carries his own inch rule of taste, and amuse himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels.

Henry Adams

Every Communist must grasp the truth: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Mao Zedong

No slavery can be abolished without a double emancipation, and the master will benefit by freedom more than the freed-man.

Thomas Huxley

Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it is even becoming mob.

Friedrich Nietzsche
