All lovers swear more performance than they are able, and yet reserve an ability that they never perform; vowing more than the perfection of ten, and discharging less than the tenth part of one.

Remote villages and communities have lost their identity, and their peace and charm have been sacrificed to that worst of abominations, the automobile.

James Norman Hall

A lot of Jews are great friends of mine.

Billy Graham

I can do whatever I want -- I'm rich, I'm famous, and I'm bigger than you.

Don Johnson

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

J.G. Ballard

The dissident does not operate in the realm of genuine power at all. He is not seeking power. He has no desire for office and does not gather votes. He does not attempt to charm the public, he offers nothing and promises nothing. He can offer, if anything, only his own skin -- and he offers it solely because he has no other way of affirming the truth he stands for. His actions simply articulate his dignity as a citizen, regardless of the cost.

Vaclav Havel

Ernest Istook

And for some reason, when I'm sad, I do listen to Leonard Cohen, I do listen to Joni Mitchell. I do find myself going to the music that's actually reflecting my mood, as opposed to sticking on Motown, which might actually bring my mood up.

Glen Hansard

The old studios that mass-produced dreams are gone with the wind, just like the old downtown theaters that were the temples of the dreams.
