Sound science must be our guide in choosing which problems to tackle and how to approach them.

If to have breasts is to be human, then to save them is to save ourselves.

Florence Williams

When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be even lonelier than when you're by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don't feel like you can trust anybody or talk to anybody, you feel like you're really alone.

Fiona Apple

You have as much laughter as you have faith.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Those that despise people will never get the best out of others and themselves.

Alexis de Tocqueville

To me, what separates a funny movie from a good movie is something personal.

Seth Rogen

The essential job of government is to facilitate, not frustrate, job development.

Andrew Cuomo

The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.

Cesare Pavese

The war, therefore, if we judge it by the standards of previous wars, is merely an imposture. It is like the battles between certain ruminant animals whose horns are set at such an angle that they are incapable of hurting one another. But though it is unreal it is not meaningless. It eats up the surplus of consumable goods, and it helps to preserve the special mental atmosphere that a hierarchical society needs. War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair. In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact. The very word 'war', therefore, has become misleading. It would probably be accurate to say that by becoming continuous war has ceased to exist. The peculiar pressure that it exerted on human beings between the Neolithic Age and the early twentieth century has disappeared and been replaced by something quite different. The effect would be much the same if the three super-states, instead of fighting one another, should agree to live in perpetual peace, each inviolate within its own boundaries. For in that case each would still be a self-contained universe, freed for ever from the sobering influence of external danger. A peace that was truly permanent would be the same as a permanent war.

We are here, not because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers.

Emmeline Pankhurst

A man must learn to forgive himself.

I think the one thing this picture shows that's new is the psychological disproportion of the kids' demands on the parents. Parents are often at fault, but the kids have some work to do, too.

James Dean

It's good to be here. At 98, it's good to be anywhere.
