Rock 'n' roll music is what gets me off.

If a teacher does not involve himself, his values, his commitments, in the course of discussion, why should the students?

Paul Wellstone

I urge the Iraqi leadership for sake of its own people... to seize this opportunity and thereby begin to end the isolation and suffering of the Iraqi people.

Kofi Annan

Very well. He'd lighten up. As a matter of fact, he felt as light as the bubbly froth that flew from the lips of the waves. Whatever else his long, unprecedented life might have been, it had been fun. Fun! If others should find that appraisal shallow, frivolous, so be it. To him, it seemed now to largely have been some form of play. And he vowed that in the future he would strive to keep that sense of play more in mind, for he'd grown convinced that play--more than piety, more than charity or vigilance--was what allowed human beings to transcend evil.

Tom Robbins

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is: Try to please everybody.

Herbert Bayard Swope

The American ideal of sexuality appears to be rooted in the American ideal of masculinity. This idea has created cowboys and Indians, good guys and bad guys, punks and studs, tough guys and softies, butch and faggot, black and white. It is an ideal so paralytically infantile that it is virtually forbidden -- as an unpatriotic act -- that the American boy evolve into the complexity of manhood.

James Baldwin

There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other.

J.K. Rowling

The Britons are quite separated from all the world.

Virgil

You have the courage and power to live your dreams.

Les Brown

In drawing attention to the physical characteristics of women leaders, they can be dismissed as either too pretty or too ugly. The net effect is to prevent women's identification with the issues. If the public women is stigmatized as too 'pretty,' she's a threat, a rival--or simply not serious; if derided as too 'ugly,' one risks tarring oneself with the same brush by identifying oneself with her agenda.

Naomi Wolf

There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

An orange on the table Your robe on the carpet And you in my bed Sweet present of the present Coolness of the night Warmth of my life.

Jacques Prevert

Our ancient experience confirms at every point that everything is linked together, everything is inseparable.
