I think Gadhafi is on the mark. And up until this point in time, I think they truly want to turn this around and become a positive player with the West after years and years of terrorism and stagnation.

The war correspondent has his stake - his life - in his own hands, and he can put it on this horse or that horse, or he can put it back in his pocket at the very last minute.

Robert Capa

Who is rich? He that rejoices in his portion.

Benjamin Franklin

Information on the Internet is subject to the same rules and regulations as conversation at a bar.

George Lundberg

His courage foes, his friends his truth proclaim.

John Dryden

Real life is, to most men, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible but the world of pure reason knows no compromise, no practical limitations, no barrier to the creative activity.

Bertrand Russell

If my daughter, Liza, wants to become an actress, I'll do everything to help her.

Judy Garland

My wife Elizabeth and I started The Really Terrible Orchestra for people like us who are pretty hopeless musicians who would like to play in an orchestra. It has been a great success. We give performances we've become the most famous bad orchestra in the world.

Alexander McCall Smith

She has been to the compound before. She remembered this hallway. She knows about the initiation process. My mother was Dauntless.

Veronica Roth

Because there is nothing here than invites us to cherish unhappy lovers. Nothing is more vain than to die for love. What we ought to do is live.

Albert Camus

One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.

Margaret Mead

Gaylord Nelson

If you want to humble an empire it makes sense to maim its cathedrals. They are symbols of its faith, and when they crumple and burn, it tells us we are not so powerful and we can't be safe. The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, planted at the base of Manhattan island with the Statue of Liberty as their sentry, and the Pentagon, a squat, concrete fort on the banks of the Potomac, are the sanctuaries of money and power that our enemies may imagine define us. But that assumes our faith rests on what we can buy and build, and that has never been America's true God.
