They realize that in thirty-four months we have built up new instruments of public power. In the hands of a peoples Government this power is wholesome and proper. But in the hands of political puppets of an economic autocracy such power would provide shackles for the liberties of the people.

When you are a mother you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.

Sophia Loren

Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

I wanted to be an actress. I think it had a lot to do with being a kid and watching how every time my dad would stand up to talk people would applaud... that was pretty cool.

Eleanor Mondale

There had always been a conflict in me between mystery and meaning. I had pursued tha latter, worshipped the latter as a doctor. As a socialist and rationalist. But then I saw that the attempt to scientize reality, to name it and categorize it and vivisect it out of existence, was like trying to remove the air from the atmosphere. In the creating of the vacuum it was the experimenter who died, because he was inside the vacuum.

John Fowles

When your life changes and you become a more public person, in some ways you need to be a more closed person, you know?

Sandra Oh

It is no accident that banks resemble temples, preferably Greek, and that the supplicants who come to perform the rites of deposit and withdrawal instinctively lower their voices into the registers of awe. Even the most junior tellers acquire within weeks of their employment the officiousness of hierophants tending an eternal flame. I don't know how they become so quickly inducted into the presiding mysteries, or who instructs them in the finely articulated inflections of contempt for the laity, but somehow they learn to think of themselves as suppliers of the monetarized DNA that is the breath of life.

Lewis H. Lapham

There is nothing so absurd that some philosopher has not already said it.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Let us treat the men and women well: treat them as if they were real: perhaps they are.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every single art form is involved in film, in a way.

Sydney Pollack

Truth is so great a perfection, that if God would render himself visible to men, he would choose light for his body and truth for his soul

Pythagoras

My father was something of a rainbow-chaser.

Marc Davis

A film is never really any good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.

Orson Welles
