I want to work on respecting individuals' dignity. Equal rights, that's where my heart is. That means equal rights and benefits, and that's what we need.

Why are all reflections lovelier than what we call reality? -- not so grand or so strong, it may be, but always lovelier? Fair as is the gliding sloop on the shining sea, the wavering, trembling, unresting sail below is fairer still...All mirrors are magic mirrors. The commonest room is a room in a poem when I turn to the glass...There must be a truth involved in it, though we may but in part lay hold of the meaning.

George MacDonald

What our age lacks is not reflection, but passion.

Soren Kierkegaard

Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.

Billie Joe Armstrong

A true king is neither husband nor father he considers his throne and nothing else.

Pierre Corneille

Maybe this Watergate is like the Old Testament. It was visited upon us and maybe were going to benefit from it.

Nelson Rockefeller

Love is blind.

Geoffrey Chaucer

All of us grow up in particular realities - a home, family, a clan, a small town, a neighborhood. Depending upon how we're brought up, we are either deeply aware of the particular reading of reality into which we are born, or we are peripherally aware of it.

Chaim Potok

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

LeAnn Rimes

People just want to hear some common sense... and I bring to bear the experience in local government and state government and national government - I was the first woman in history on the Senate Finance Committee - not to mention the diplomatic international experience.

Carol Moseley Braun

Sometimes there are things worth risking your life for. It was Jesus who said if you want to save your life, you have to lose it.

Gene Robinson

The sheer quantity of brain power that hurled itself voluntarily and quixotically into the search for new baseball knowledge was either exhilarating or depressing, depending on how you felt about baseball. The same intellectual resources might have cured the common cold, or put a man on Pluto.

Michael Lewis

When you view your world exclusively through the lens of science, your prescription will never be strong enough.
