It starts with campaign finance reform.

I have seen the very bottom of life: I was so afraid I wouldn't be funny anymore. I just knew that I would lose my zaniness and my sense of humor. But I didn't. Recovery turned out to be a wonderful thing.

Ann Richards

Understanding of our fellow human beings...becomes fruitful only when it is sustained by sympathetic feelings in joy and sorrow.

Albert Einstein

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

Ernest Hemingway

I don't believe you can find any evidence of the fact that I have changed government policy solely because of a contribution.

William J. Clinton

I listen like mad to any conversation taking place next to me just trying to hear why this is funny. Women's restrooms are especially great. I wash my hands twice waiting for people to come in and start talking.

Lynda Barry

Ezra Pound, ABC of Reading

You need imagination in order to imagine a future that doesn't exist.

Azar Nafisi

Harriet Martineau

At the age of three and a half the Taung Child was eaten by an eagle.

Poor little Taung Child, shrieking on the wind as you were borne aloft by the aquiline fury, you would have found no comfort in your destined fame, two and a half million years on, as the type specimen of Australopithecus africanus.

Richard Dawkins

The frustrating part of it is that you're generally known for what you did last. I've had the privilege of doing some very cool independent films that, a lot of the time, the general public doesn't see unless you're at a film festival or you're into that kind of movie.

Hayden Panettiere

Few people can be happy unless they hate some other person, nation, or creed.

Bertrand Russell
