We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty.

The prince of darkness is a gentleman!

William Shakespeare

Be like the bird who, halting in his flight on a limb too slight, yet sings, knowing he has wings.

Victor Hugo

I love kids and children, and I love being a mom.

Jennie Garth

Nick stands up and offers his hand to me. I have no idea what he wants, but what the hell, I take his hand anyway, and he pulls me up on my feet then presses against me for a slow dance and it's like we're in a dream where he's Christopher Plummer and I'm Julie Andrews and we're dancing on the marble floor of an Austrian terrace garden. Somehow my head presses Nick's t-shirt and in this moment I am forgetting about time and Tal because maybe my life isn't over. Maybe it's only beginning.

Rachel Cohn

My country, right or wrong is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying My mother, drunk or sober.

G. K. Chesterton

I don't mind admitting that I, too, have watched Hilton undergoing the sexual act. I phrase it as crudely as that because it was one of the least erotic such sequences I have ever seen. She seemed to know what was expected of her and to manifest some hard-won expertise, but I could almost have believed that she was drugged. At no point did her facial expression match even the simulacrum of lovemaking.

Christopher Hitchens

Remember thee? Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seatin this distracted globe. Remember thee?

William Shakespeare

I never thought I should live to grow blasé about the sound of gunfire, but so I have

George Orwell

If history and science have taught us anything, it is that passion and desire are not the same as truth.

E. O. Wilson

Young people can get very discouraged and get hooked on drugs or on alcohol because of problems they perceive as insurmountable. It is important that they realize a mistake need not ruin their future, but they must also know that not everything in life is a bed of roses.

Maureen Forrester

For 'The Haunting Hour,' I thought it would be a lot of fun. It was great to play this cool kid role. My episode is called 'The Intruders' and my character is this mean, angry teenager because her younger brother was just born and he gets all of the attention. She's always playing tricks on her family, and there are some cool twists.

Willow Shields

The real superstar is a man or a woman raising six kids on $150 a week.
