There's lots of people who spend so much time watching their health, they haven't got time to enjoy it.

The sport of shooting is my life.

Michael Diamond

Religion is a mixed blessing.

John Shelby Spong

Even people whose lives have been made various by learning sometimes find it hard to keep a fast hold on their habitual views of life, on their faith in the Invisible - nay, on the sense that their past joys and sorrows are a real experience, when they are suddenly transported to a new land, where the beings around them know nothing of their history, and share none of their ideas - where their mother earth shows another lap, and human life has other forms than those on which their souls have been nourished. Minds that have been unhinged from their old faith and love have perhaps sought this Lethean influence of exile in which the past becomes dreamy because its symbols have all vanished, and the present too is dreamy because it is linked with no memories.

George Eliot

You realise that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you, he said.

John Green

When I look at my daughter, who's 24, she is much more confident than I ever was and her expectations are higher. But I worry that there is a backlash brewing against progress on equality.

Frances O'Grady

Who prays for Satan? Who, in 1,800 years, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?

Mark Twain

In love there are two things -- bodies and words.

Joyce Carol Oates

My goal is to get another 30 years out of this business. So I need to figure out the fuel to do that. And so far, I think it's respect and quality and company, not celebrity or box office or stardom. It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.

Jason Bateman

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

Some people are willing to pay the price and it's the same with staying healthy or eating healthy. There's some discipline involved. There's some sacrifices.

Mike Ditka

fine, go ahead. kiss me right now.alec stared in horror.exactly. despite my staggering good looks, you actually don't like me that way

Cassandra Clare

One is never fortunate or as unfortunate as one imagines.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld
