The leadership lost its nerve. Instead of taking the lead in the reform movement... they pulled the plug on it. They tried and are still trying to return the church to the dry ice of the previous century and a half.

Words are loaded pistols.

JeanPaul Sartre

I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light.

Patrick Swayze

Don't give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can't express them. Don't analyze yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.

Evelyn Waugh

You think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you?

Charlotte Gainsbourg

I could really use a corporate sponsor. People think that because you're in the movies, you're rich. I have allocated all my resources to Shambala so the animals will always be safe.

Tippi Hedren

No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins; no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little Norman churches; no great Universities nor public schools -- no Oxford, nor Eton, nor Harrow; no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no Epsom nor Ascot! Some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in American life.

Henry James

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

David Russell

I understand that finance can be very complex.

Kevin Harrington

Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?

John Keats

Proclaim not all thou knowest

Benjamin Franklin

Without a sign, his sword the brave man draws, and asks no omen, but his country's cause.

Homer

I'm not a cheater. I've never cheated in my life.

Jon Hamm
