I think it's been a little difficult at times for the audience, because they've told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex... I think they are pretty used to it now.

On the contrary, it might even be a projection of what the truth is of the Bush Administration's complacency and ineptitude on the terrorism in its first 9 months in office.

Sidney Blumenthal

It's our money, and we're free to spend it any way we please.

Rose Kennedy

they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters.

Jane Austen

It's a hard life if you don't weaken.

Stephen King

The events of human life, whether public or private, are so intimately linked to architecture that most observers can reconstruct nations or individuals in all the truth of their habits from the remains of their public monuments or from their domestic relics. Archaeology is to social nature what comparative anatomy is to organized nature. A mosaic reveals an entire society, just as a skeleton of an ichthyosaur suggests an entire creation. Everything is deducible, everything is linked. The cause allows one to guess the effect, just as each effect allows one to reconstruct a cause. The scientist can resuscitate in this manner even the warts of ancient times. From this comes without doubt the prodigious interest that an architectural description can inspire when the writer's fantasy is faithful to its basic elements. Cannot each person reattach it to its past by rigorous deductions? And as for man, does not the past singularly resemble the future? Tell him what was and is this not almost always the same thing as telling him what will be?

Honore de Balzac, The Search for

The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self mastery.

Reinhold Niebuhr

Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression. The chasm is never completely bridged. We all have the conviction, perhaps illusory, that we have much more to say than appears on the paper.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

If you just stop and think, baby, honey, love is a funny thing. Whatever you put in, that's what you expect to gain.

Jimmy Reed

But the imposition of morality onto science, - where it does not belong - has become rampant in recent years.

Bill Condon

Think for a moment about what Obamacare has done: The federal government has come up with its own (ever-evolving) definition of 'health insurance,' which now includes free access to sterilization, contraception, and certain abortifacients such as the morning-after pill.

John Cornyn

These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.

Anthony de Mello

He who knows others is wise.He who knows himself is enlightened.

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
