People want the right to die at a time of their own choosing. Too many families have watched helplessly as a relative dies slowly, longing for death.

Do you wish to be free? Then above all things, love God, love your neighbor, love one another, love the common weal; then you will have true liberty.

Girolamo Savonarola

If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.

Alphonse de Lamartine

Seek not greatness, but seek truth and you will find both.

Horace Mann

Read my lips: no new taxes.

George Bush

Quietly endure, silently suffer and patiently wait.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Historically and politically, the petit-bourgeois is the key to the century. The bourgeois and proletariat classes have become abstractions: the petite-bourgeoisie, in contrast, is everywhere, you can see it everywhere, even in the areas of the bourgeois and the proletariat, what's left of them.

Roland Barthes

My band career ended late in my senior year when John Cooper and I threw my amplifier out the dormitory window. We did not act in haste. First we checked to make sure the amplifier would fit through the frame, using the belt from my bathrobe to measure, then we picked up the amplifier and backed up to my bedroom door. Then we rushed forward, shouting The WHO! The WHO! and we launched my amplifier perfectly, as though we had been doing it all our lives, clean through the window and down onto the sidewalk, where a small but appreciative crowd had gathered. I would like to be able to say that this was a symbolic act, an effort on my part to break cleanly away from one state in my life and move on to another, but the truth is, Cooper and I really just wanted to find out what it would sound like. It sounded OK.

Dave Barry, The Snake

Companies like I.B.M. have offered women scholarships to study engineering for years, and women engineers routinely get higher starting salaries than men.

Warren Farrell

I know that you are wise. When you hear a true story, there is a part of you that responds to it regardless of art, regardless of evidenceYou believe that the story is true, because you responded to it from that sense of truth deep within you. But that sense of truth does not respond to a story's factuality...[rather] to a story's causality - whether it faithfully shows the way the universe functions.

Orson Scott Card

A mousetrap always provides free cheese.

Once you're in the game and it's a part of your life, you never want to leave it. But you have to be committed to be able to travel and do the things you need to do to be successful in whatever role you're doing.

Joe Sakic

It's funny, because in drama school, my greatest strength was my range. So my early career was like that: I played all kinds of different characters.
