I travel a lot. If you look at my suitcase, everything is extremely well-packed and well-folded people who travel with me are impressed at how organized I am. Some would refer to me as a maniac for this.

Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

When the moral sense is wanting, we endeavor to supply the defect by education, by appeals to reason and calculation, by presenting to the being so unhappily conformed, other motives to do good and to eschew evil, such as the love, or the hatred, or the rejection of those among whom he lives, and whose society is necessary to his happiness and even existence; demonstrations by sound calculation that honesty promotes interest in the long run; the rewards and penalties established by the laws; and ultimately the prospects of a future state of retribution for the evil as well as the good done while here. These are the correctives which are supplied by education, and which exercise the functions of the moralist, the preacher, and legislator; and they lead into a course of correct action all those whose depravity is not too profound to be eradicated.

Thomas Jefferson, to Thomas Law,

Rebecca Lobo

Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when it is the only idea we have.

Henri AlbanFournier, Liberspropo

I've always wanted to be independent and answer for myself. That probably is the part of me I would class to be feminist. I'd like to have children marriage I have a bit of an issue with.

Kelly Brook

Men's private self-worlds are rather like our geographical world's seasons, storm, and sun, deserts, oases, mountains and abysses, the endless-seeming plateaus, darkness and light, and always the sowing and the reaping.

Faith Baldwin

I think there are opportunities for women in comedies - how zany is up to them.

Jennifer Aniston

The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.

Florence Scovel Shinn

David Ridenour of The National Center for Public Policy Research says people who claim rising temperatures will lead to more intense hurricanes 'appear to be relying upon political science, not climate science.'

If you want to be happy, be.

Leo Tolstoy

Movies are movies, television is television.

Dirk Benedict

Survival was my only hope, success my only revenge.
