One of the pleasant duties of America's most famous announcers during the relatively short swing era of the big bands was to host late-night remotes from some of the most famous ballrooms throughout the country.

Truth, meanwhile, was a weaponthat even a damaged fist could still grasp and wield. It was a remarkably versatile commodity; it could be traded, or help serve an end, or produce aprofit.

Mark Allen Smith

The pursuit of truth will set you free even if you never catch up with it.

Clarence Darrow

Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government.

James Madison

Nor is the people's judgement always true;The most may err as grossly as the few.

John Dryden, Absalom and Achitop

I'm the first one who sees every romantic comedy in theaters.

Elizabeth Olsen

He who gives what he would as readily throw away, gives without generosity; for the essence of generosity is in self sacrifice.

Sir Henry Taylor

Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.

Nomar Garciaparra

Music is the effort we make to explain to ourselves how our brains work. We listen to Bach transfixed because this is listening to a human mind.

Lewis Thomas

The American ideal, after all, is that everyone should be as much alike as possible.

James Baldwin

A professionally trained actress should be a better liar, wouldn't you think? But no. I am pathetically underachieved in that area. I can think of a great lie. I'm plenty imaginative. But before the words are even out of my mouth, there's a weird tickle of unease in my armpits, a horsefly of guilt lands on the back of my neck, and before I can stop myself, that gassy little bubble of truth belches out.

Kristin Chenoweth

The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour on it, the more it will contract.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

I want to do all kinds of things. I want to do some comedy. I'd love to do a romantic comedy, and I'd love to do some period pieces with classical text. I'd love somebody to cast me as Macbeth, but for a film. I just want to be all over the place.
