United Artists wanted to do records with me. I had no idea, what a rare thing that was... to make an album. And they put a guy with me working on songs, and I got busy with films. I just kind of let it slide. Isn't that amazing?

I don't want to wake up and not truly be enjoying my life and these amazing things around me.

LeAnn Rimes

They are, as it were, train-bearers in the pageant of life, and hold a glass up to humanity, frailer than itself. We see ourselves at second-hand in them: they show us all that we are, all that we wish to be, and all that we dread to be. What brings the resemblance nearer is, that, as they imitate us, we, in our turn, imitate them. There is no class of society whom so many persons regard with affection as actors.

William Hazlitt

What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.

Kitty O'neill Collins

Patriots always talk of dying for their country but never of killing for their country.

Bertrand Russell

Death is not the biggest fear we have our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Miguel Angel Ruiz

Hackers are breaking the systems for profit. Before, it was about intellectual curiosity and pursuit of knowledge and thrill, and now hacking is big business.

Kevin Mitnick

Conforming is not cool.

Adam Lambert

Men have always need of god! A god to defend them against other men..

Francis Picabia

But we got up there and decided to stick to this mix of power chords and funk and that's where it really started for us. In having the courage to take that decision. To take a gamble not just with our music but our lives.

Michael Hutchence

We do not intend to part from the Americans and we do not intend to be satellites. I am sure they do not want us to be so. The stronger we are, the better partners we shall be; and I feel certain that as the months pass we shall draw continually closer together with mutual confidence and respect.

Harold MacMillan

And if one loves me for my judgement, memory, he does not love , for I can lose these qualities without losing myself. Where, then, is this Ego, if it be neither in the body nor in the soul? And how love the body or the soul, except for these qualities which do not constitute , since they are perishable? For it is impossible and would be unjust to love the soul of a person in the abstract and whatever qualities might be therein. We never, then, love a person, but only qualities. Let us, then, jeer no more at those who are honoured on account of rank and office; for we love a person only on account of borrowed qualities.

Blaise Pascal

And then there are books...which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.

John Green
