Overcoming fear and worry can be accomplished by living a day at a time or even a moment at a time. Your worries will be cut down to nothing.

My grandfather could barely read. My grandmother had a sixth-grade education. They were people who were industrious. They were frugal.

Clarence Thomas

In other studies you go as far as other have gone before you, and there is nothing more to know; but in a scientific pursuit there is continual food for discovery and wonder.

Mary Shelley

I respect someone's right to privacy and I want them to know it.

Terry Gross

You can't bomb for a humane reason. What we should do is just Mother Teresa them to death with love. It's that old hippie nonsense but it's still the best stuff there is.

Ken Kesey

Kisses were better than potions.

Gail Carson Levine

Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.

Leo Tolstoy

Kathryn Bigelow

If I have a cup of coffee that is too strong for me because it is too black, I weaken it by pouring cream into it. I integrate it with cream. If I keep pouring enough cream in the coffee, pretty soon the entire flavor of the coffee is changed; the very nature of the coffee is changed. If enough cream is poured in, eventually you don't even know that I had coffee in this cup. This is what happened with the March on Washington. The whites didn't integrate it; they infiltrated it. Whites joined it; they engulfed it; they became so much a part of it, it lost its original flavor. It ceased to be a black march; it ceased to be militant; it ceased to be angry; it ceased to be impatient. In fact, it ceased to be a march.

Malcolm X, Message to the Grass

Push-ups, sit-ups, and a strict diet of raisins. That's my plan.

Jack Black

He is the true enchanter, whose spell operates, not upon the senses, but upon the imagination and the heart.

Washington Irving

The human mind treats a new idea the way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it.

Sir Peter Medawar

Her life was like a burst of wild, flowing Chinese calligraphy, written under the influence of alcohol.
