Religious institutions should have religious freedom on this issue. No church or minister should ever have to conduct a marriage that is inconsistent with their religious beliefs. But I think as a civil institution, this issue's time has come and we need to move forward.

It seemed to us that the fantastic can be, can do, so much more than its detractors assume: it can illuminate the real, it can distort it, it can mask it, it can hide it. It can show you the world you know in a way that makes you realise you've never looked at it, not at it.

Neil Gaiman

The certain prospect of death could sweeten every life with a precious and fragrant drop of levity - and now you strange apothecary souls have turned it into an ill-tasting drop of poison that makes the whole of life repulsive

Friedrich Nietzsche

It was just very interesting to me that certain types of women inspire people's imagination, and all of them were very difficult women.

Immigration is not the top issue for Latinos. Latinos are like every other American - economy, jobs, healthcare, education.

Eva Longoria

It doesn't matter what I say as long as I sound different from other politicians.

Jerry Brown

Love while you've got love to give. Live while you've got life to live.

Piet Hein

The elimination of the fear of death transforms the individual's way of being in the world.

Stanislav Grof

I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance; a church filled with flowers and friends. I asked him what kind of wedding he wished for; he said one that would make me his wife.

We were good and we were confident. We really never had any doubt that we were going to win it all.

Reggie Jackson

Misfortune is never mournful to the soul that accepts it; for such do always see that every cloud is an angel's face. Every man deems that he has precisely the trials and temptations which are the hardest of all others for him to bear; but they are so, simply because they are the very ones he most needs.

Lydia Maria Child

A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt dangerous.

Alfred Adler

The state's interest in marriage is stability. Generally speaking, polygamy does not work for stability. Inherent in the whole polygamous movement is a deep and abiding misogyny and denigration of women. So polygamy is objectionable on lots of grounds.
