My mom didn't ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy, very reserved kind of child. But obviously, something changed!

I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ should be a Church of blurred edges.

George Carey

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

My opposition To Interviews lies in the fact that offhand answers have little value or grace of expression, and that such oral give and take helps to perpetuate the decline of the English language.

James Thurber

A man as he ought to be: that sounds to us as insipid as a tree as it ought to be.

Friedrich Nietzsche

For this feeling of wonder shows that you are a philosopher, since wonder is the only beginning of philosophy.

Plato

Until women learn to want economic independence, and until they work out a way to get this independence without denying themselves the joys of love and motherhood, it seems to me feminism has no roots.

Crystal Eastman

The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.

John Maynard Keynes

Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over, this is recognised: that the human race has been harshly treated, but that it has advanced.

Victor Hugo

As you have fewer and fewer voices in a democracy, in a free society, it's not good to limit the number of voices.

Michael Moore

I'm a futurist. Technology is our way out of almost every problem we have. Technology can create a new sense of community.

Hal Sparks

I am persuaded, that if any attempt is made to improve the education of the poor, and such an unmanly spirit should guide the resolution of a society or committee for that purpose, it would render the design abortive.

Joseph Lancaster

Your mind, while blessed with permanent memory, is cursed with lousy recall. Written goals provide clarity. By documenting your dreams, you must think about the process of achieving them.
