The three great elements of modern civilization, Gun powder, Printing, and the Protestant religion.

I've always regarded nature as the clothing of God.

Alan Hovhaness

Necessity never made a good bargain.

Benjamin Franklin

Propaganda, to be effective, must be believed. To be believed, it must be credible. To be credible, it must be true.

Hubert Humphrey

I have this complex. I don't like too much exposure. I don't know why it is. Maybe it's bred in me, because my dad always told me to be humble and don't think you're too good.

Mark Viduka

You are not showing her my baby pictures! He sounded horrified, which made me laugh. Come on, Evan, I teased with a laughing smile, you were adorable.

Rebecca Donovan

The difference between Marilyn Monroe and the early Pamela Anderson is not that great. What's amazing is that the taste of American men and international tastes in terms of beauty have essentially stayed the same. Styles change, but our view of beauty stays the same.

Hugh Hefner

Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man's image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!

Milan Kundera

Isn't Hollywood a dump -- in the human sense of the word. A hideous town, pointed up by the insulting gardens of its rich, full of the human spirit at a new low of debasement.

Source Unknown

Knowledge is power. Rather, knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge -- broad, deep knowledge -- is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heartthrobs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life.

Helen Keller

I went back to work because someone had to pay for the groceries.

Bette Davis

As long as I retain my feeling and my passion for Nature, I can partly soften or subdue my other passions and resist or endure those of others.

Lord Byron

Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly.

Tom Clancy
