Imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.

John Green

My parents divorced when I was born, and my mother is a political science professor, like a feminist Mormon, which is sort of an oxymoron.

Eliza Dushku

John Heywood

India is a global power and an important partner with whom we are building an intense, broad and enduring relationship.

Pierre Pettigrew

I enjoy convalescence. It is the part that makes the illness worth while.

George Bernard Shaw

The mind is a storehouse with great capacity, but is often filled with dubious knowledge and meaningless trivialities. In truth, much of this - though at times interesting and entertaining - is of insignificant value.

Stevenson Willis

I wake up each and every day with a smile on my face knowing I get to do something musically.

Two Chainz

All censure of a man's self is oblique praise. It is in order to shew how much he can spare.

Samuel Johnson

Orlando's a really cool guy. They hired him for 'Lord of the Rings' out of drama school. He's very new at this still and doesn't have a lot of experience. So we were in this together and we've tried to help each other out. We felt very equal which was good.

Diane Kruger

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do for human beings is wean them off an animal-based diet. It hardens the arteries and runs up our health-care costs. The last thing a poor person can afford is a heart attack or cancer or a stroke. And that's all linked to a meat-based diet. I think animal liberation is human liberation.

Ingrid Newkirk

Just let go of the need to care about whether it happens or not, then you are free from fear and can then concentrate on focusing.

Stephen Richards

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
