The accent of one's birthplace remains in the mind and in the heart as in one's speech.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn't love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.

Toni Morrison

Really, life is complicated enough without having a bunch of Senators deciding what we should do in the privacy of our own homes.

Barbara Boxer

I didn't know that the world could be so mind-blowingly beautiful.

Justina Chen

There are movies that require fantasy and slightly more fantastical acting. Lines that are good for certain movies, in real life circumstances, would be absolutely unbelievable things to really say, and you would look at these people like they're freaks for conversing that way. But somehow for certain styles of movies, it works, and it seems fine.

Christian Bale

It is a measure of the framers' fear that a passing majority might find it expedient to compromise 4th Amendment values that these values were embodied in the Constitution itself.

Sandra Day O'Connor

I want to thank all the women who have worn my clothes, the famous and the unknown, who have been so faithful to me and given me so much joy.

Yves Saint Laurent

An atheist is a man who believes himself an accident.

Francis Thompson

Words have weight.

Stephen King

Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.

Helmut Schmidt

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seamed with scars; martyrs have put on their coronation robes glittering with fire, and through their tears have the sorrowful first seen the gates of Heaven.

Edwin Hubbell Chapin

I'm on a health kick! I'm drawn to cheeseburgers, so I've got to just try and keep it on an even keel.

Emily Blunt
