My life is an indivisible whole, and all my attitudes run into one another; and they all have their rise in my insatiable love for mankind.

The only people who like to live alone more than comics are priests.

Being a father at a later age is different from when I had my other two daughters when I was in my 20s and 30s. If you're in your 60s and you're with the kid every day, you're dealing with the mind of a child, so it opens up that childishness in you again.

Bible

Those in the west who dismiss the repressiveness of laws against women in countries like Iran, no matter how benign their intentions, present a condescending view not just of the religion but also of women living in Muslim majority countries, as if the desire for choice and happiness is the monopoly of women in the west.

I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.

Pearl S. Buck

Let's face it, in America today we don't have a health care system, we have a sick care system.

Tom Harkin

Nothing is better than waking up in the morning and being excited to go into work.

Caprice Bourret

God is a character, a real and consistent being, or He is nothing. If God did a miracle He would deny His own nature and the universe would simply blow up, vanish, become nothing.

Joyce Cary

Love is full of anxious fears.

Ovid
