Harold S. Geneen

Thought and beauty, like a hurricane or waves, should not know conventional, delimited forms.

Anton Chekhov

Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.

Eminem

John Oates

The vote means nothing to women. We should be armed.

Edna O'Brien

I have striven not to laugh at human actions, not to weep at them, nor to hate them, but to understand them.

Baruch (_Benedict de) Spinoza

Rides in the whirlwind and directs the storm.

Stephen King

Sports and entertainment are the only places where inner-city kids see themselves being able to succeed. Their intellectual development is something they don't relate to.
