I really think the Patriot Act violates our Constitution. It was, it is, an illegal act. The Congress, the Senate and the president cannot change the Constitution.

Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.

Henrik Ibsen

It is pretty amazing. My parents, who came from Nicaragua to the U.S. - who would have thought that they would have American kids on the Olympic team? I think that's the epitome of the Olympic dream.

Diana Lopez

Considered in its entirety, psychoanalysis won't do. It's an end product, moreover, like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth-century thought.

Sir Peter Medawar

Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.

Orison Swett Marden

I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it.

Nicolas Cage

No country in history ever sent mothers of toddlers off to fight enemy soldiers until the United States did this in the Iraq war.

Phyllis Schlafly

You can't teach somebody how to be funny. You're either funny, or you ain't.

Denis Leary

Not Chaos, not the darkest pit of lowest Erebus, nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out by help of dreams --can breed such fear and awe as fall upon us often when we look into our Minds, into the Mind of Man.

William Wordsworth

The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.

Barbara Kingsolver

Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition.

Abraham Lincoln

Listen with the intent to understand, not the intent to reply.

Stephen Covey

Most of my advances were by mistake. You uncover what is when you get rid of what isn't.

Richard Buckminster Fuller
