Mary Queen of Scots was my first love, and that is always something special.

The secret of freedom, courage.

Thucydides

I hate the cliche of 'just have fun,' but what I've seen in today's sports, especially with parents, is they put so much pressure on the kids.

Hope Solo

Every goal, every action, every thought, every feeling one experiences, whether it be consciously or unconsciously known, is an attempt to increase one's level of peace of mind.

Sidney Madwed

The difference between an optimist and a pessimist? An optimist laughs to forget, but a pessimist forgets to laugh.

Elderly gentlemen, gentle in all respects, kind to animals, beloved by children, and fond of music, are found in lonely corners of the downs, hacking at sandpits or tussocks of grass, and muttering in a blind, ungovernable fury elaborate maledictions which could not be extracted from them by robbery or murder. Men who would face torture without a word become blasphemous at the short fourteenth. It is clear that the game of golf may well be included in that category of intolerable provocations which may legally excuse or mitigate behavior not otherwise excusable.

Andrew Linzey

Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong.

Muhammad Ali

I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.

Angelina Jolie

For the sin they do by two and two they must pay for one by one.

Rudyard Kipling

When I was young, I did actually model and was much photographed by famous photographers. But I was always a bookworm.

Marina Warner

I was arrested for selling illegalsized paper.
