Am I a romantic? I've seen 'Wuthering Heights' ten times. I'm a romantic.

I like the power given the Legislature to levy taxes, and for that reason solely approve of the greater house being chosen by the people directly

Thomas Jefferson

There is no such thing as a nonpolitical speech by a politician.

I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.

There are, of course, inherent tendencies to repetition in music itself. Our poetry, our ballads, our songs are full of repetition; nursery rhymes and the little chants and songs we use to teach young children have choruses and refrains.

I love celery and people don't use it a lot. Celery and flavors in that family - it really brightens and is refreshing.

There ARE people who won't customarily eat an entire row of cookies, or hear food calling their name from other rooms, or who don't grind up food in the garbage disposal for fear of eating it, or get it back out of the garbage so they could eat it. Of course, my binge eating was just a cover-up for the larger issue: Trying to fill the emptiness

All of us, who are members of the Germanic peoples, can be happy and thankful that once in thousands of years fate has given us, from among the Germanic peoples, such a genius, a leader, our Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, and you should be happy to be allowed to work with us.
