Bette Davis

I think that you love who you love, and there are people who you love that people aren't going to understand why, and that sort of doesn't really matter.

George Santayana

There is no road to success but through a clear strong purpose. Nothing can take its place. A purpose underlies character, culture, position, attainment of every part.

Thornton T. Munger

I really like to sometimes go into food detox and eat very simply.

Padma Lakshmi

Peace if possible, but truth at any rate.

Martin Luther

The task of an American writer is not to describe the misgivings of a woman taken in adultery as she looks out of a window at the rain but to describe four hundred people under the lights reaching for a foul ball. This is ceremony.
