If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does.

Women with money and women in power are two uncomfortable ideas in our society.

Candace Bushnell

I don't like it when people on the street say smile or cheer up. It's a real cheap line. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling real grateful for everything. It's a solid time in my life. When people say I look sad, they're wrong.

Nicolas Cage

It feels really sad, to me, to go to a dark bedroom. It's like surrendering to the night or something.

James Franco

Gandhi once said be the change you want to see in the world. Truth is...we must rise above our problems in our lives to contribute positive energy to humanity to do so. When we overcome painful situations and give back to help others...we not only help ourselves but help better humanity in the process.

Timothy Pina

I was smart, to tell you the truth. I'm not really bright, but I'm not stupid.

Bobby Vinton

We tilt our heads back and open wide. The snow drifts into our zombie mouths crawling with grease and curses and tobacco flakes and cavities and boyfriend/girlfriend juice, the stain of lies. For one moment we are not failed tests and broken condoms and cheating on essays; we are crayons and lunch boxes and swinging so high our sneakers punch holes in the clouds. For one breath everything feels better.Then it melts.The bus drivers rev their engines and the ice cloud shatters. Everyone shuffles forward. They don't know what just happened. They can't remember.

Laurie Halse Anderson

The truth has got to appear plausible on the stage.

Edward Bond

Are not laws dangerous which inhibit the passions? Compare the centuries of anarchy with those of the strongest legalism in any country you like and you will see that it is only when the laws are silent that the greatest actions appear.

Marquis de Sade

We learn the inner secret of happiness when we learn to direct our inner drives, our interest and our attention to something besides ourselves.

Ethel Percy Andrus

Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.

Mahatma Gandhi

The power of faith will often shine forth the most when the character is naturally weak.
