When I like people immensely I never tell their names to anyone. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy.

You may be right that people say: 'You know what, we had Obama. He was inexperienced. The guy had great rhetoric, sounded good, looked good, but has turned out to be an utter disaster. I want someone where I have confidence and credibility that they're up to the job and that I can trust what they tell me.'

Karl Rove

When I was as you are now, towering in the confidence of 21, little did I suspect that I should be at 49, what I now am.

Samuel Johnson

Silent men like still waters, are deep and dangerous.

Proverb

Recipes are important but only to a point. What's more important than recipes is how we think about food, and a good cookbook should open up a new way of doing just that.

Michael Symon

The business of art lies just in this, -- to make that understood and felt which, in the form of an argument, might be incomprehensible and inaccessible.

Leo Tolstoy

My hair is naturally blonde... Just for the record. ~ Jace

Cassandra Clare

But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.

Bryan Ferry

Laws are never as effective as habits.

Adlai Stevenson

What I am trying to do is to unmuddle the metaphysical.

Wayne Dyer

The New Women! I could barely recognize them as being of the same sex as myself, their buttocks arrogant in tight jeans, openly inviting, breasts falling free and shameless and feeling no apparent obligation to smile, look pleasant or keep their voices low. And how they live! Just look at them to know how! If a man doesn't bring them to orgasm, they look for another who does. If by mistake they fall pregnant, they abort by vacuum aspiration. If they don't like the food, they push the plate away. If the job doesn't suit them, they hand in their notice. They are satiated by everything, hungry for nothing. They are what I wanted to be; they are what I worked for them to be: and now I see them, I hate them.

Fay Weldon

The respect for human rights is nowadays not so much a matter of having international standards, but rather questions of compliance with those standards.

Michelle Bachelet

The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.

John F. Kennedy
