You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.

Joe DiMaggio

Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church.

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger

I never criticize a player until they are first convinced of my unconditional confidence in their abilities.

I'm a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love - and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.

Emma Watson

I love England, especially the food. There's nothing I like more than a lovely bowl of pasta.

Naomi Campbell

Pat Robertson

And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

Kurt Vonnegut

Faith is a fine inventionWhen gentlemen can see,But microscopes are prudentIn an emergency.

Emily Dickinson

But are not the dreams of poets and the tales of travellers notoriously false?

H. P. Lovecraft

The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.

Julia Child

For it is with the mysteries of our religion, as with wholesome pills for the sick, which swallowed whole, have the virtue to cure; but chewed, are for the most part cast up again without effect.

Thomas Hobbes
