One must always be careful of books, and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.

It only looks like I get to eat a lot of food on TV. I really just get the one bite and the crew and guests eat everything else.

Rachael Ray

It was an amazing performer. Very temperamental, it spent a lot of time in its trailer.

In the distant past, Muslim doctors advised nervous people to look up at the sky. Forget the tight earth. Imagine that the sky, all of it, belonged to them alone. Crescent, low moon, more stars than the eyes looking up at them. But the sky was free, without any price, no one I knew spoke of it, no one competed for it.

The adherents of the old order have a powerful ally in the natural law of inertia inherent in humanity which is, as it were, a natural defense against change. Thus pacifism faces no easy struggle. The question of whether violence or law shall prevail between states is the most vital of the problems of our eventful era, and the most serious in its repercussions. The beneficial results of a secure world peace are almost inconceivable, but even more inconceivable are the consequences of the threatening world war which many misguided people are prepared to precipitate. The advocates of pacifism are well aware how meager are their resources of personal influence and power. They know that they are still few in number and weak in authority, but when they realistically consider themselves and the ideal they serve, they see themselves as the servants of the greatest of all causes.

John Ashcroft

What lingers from the parent's individual past, unresolved or incomplete, often becomes part of her or his irrational parenting.

Virginia Satir

What is a society without a heroic dimension?

Jean Baudrillard

Love, with very young people, is a heartless business. We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the individuality of our wine.

Isak Dinesen

Order is what exists before you start arranging things.
