Dissension, diversity, the grain of salt and mustard are needed: Fascism does not want them, forbids them, and that's why you're not a Fascist; it wants everybody to be the same, and you are not. But immaculate virtue does not exist either, or if it exists it is detestable.

Lara Flynn Boyle

I've been involved with sports my whole life, which made clothes and makeup and handbags not that important as a kid. I just didn't care.

Jessica Biel

He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.

Robert Moses

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.
