I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One's enough.

I know many books which have bored their readers, but I know of none which has done real evil

Voltaire

Be careful what you set your heart upon -- for it will surely be yours.

James Baldwin

It's impossible. You try to have any kind of relationship with your family, with a man, or with a friend, and you have to be on the phone and the Internet the entire time.

Keira Knightley

I can't go to war with paparazzi.

Daniel Craig

We've taken on the major health problems of the poorest - tuberculosis, maternal mortality, AIDS, malaria - in four countries. We've scored some victories in the sense that we've cured or treated thousands and changed the discourse about what is possible.

Paul Farmer

What can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope?

Immanuel Kant

Beauty is startling. She wears a gold shawl in the summer and sells seven kinds of honey at the flea market. She is young and old at once, my daughter and my grandmother. In school she excelled in mathematics and poetry. . . Beauty will dance with anyone who is brave enough to ask her.

J. Ruth Gendler

It is a shame that when we have a good dream we are asleep at the time.

P.K. Shaw

Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.

Alfred Adler

Modesty is a vastly overrated virtue.

John Kenneth Galbraith

To enjoy the things we ought, and to hate the things we ought, has the greatest bearing on excellence of character.

Aristotle

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.
