Most of life is choices, and the rest is pure dumb luck.

It's obvious, but perhaps worth saying, that happiness has virtually nothing to do with the state of your intellect.

Daniel Keys Moran

The Germans really conceive of their country as always under war conditions in this respect. No one expects a belligerent to tell the truth and, to the German mind, they are always belligerent. The Germans take the view that war is only intensified peace.

Robert Cecil, 1st Viscount Cecil

This concern with the basic condition of freedom -- the absence of physical constraint -- is unquestionably necessary, but is not all that is necessary. It is perfectly possible for a man to be out of prison and yet not free -- to be under no physical constraint and yet to be a psychological captive, compelled to think, feel and act as the representatives of the national State, or of some private interest within the nation, want him to think, feel and act.

Aldous Huxley

Reba McEntire came through town when I lived in Texas. She had this amazing theatrical show with, like, 13 different wardrobe changes. I was eight and I was like, Wow, I wanna do that!

LeAnn Rimes

You have this mounting aggressive ignorance with the rabbit's foot of their particular religion. You don't really have any kind of spiritual law, just a kind of a rabid mental illness. The songs are a little slice of life.

Joni Mitchell

It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.

Winston Churchill

where the telescope ends the microscope begins, and who can say which has the wider vision?

It would be pretty funny to see a Beverly Hills white girl with mad rap skills.

Ray Bradbury is, for many reasons, the most influential writer in my life. Throughout our long friendship, Ray supplied not only his terrific stories but a grand model of what a writer could be, should be, and yet rarely is: brilliant and charming and accessible, willing to tolerate and to teach, happy to inspire but also to be inspired.

Greg Bear

But the scientific importance of a change in knowledge of fact consists precisely in j its having consequences for a system of theory.
