It wasn't so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes, much as we all hate to admit it, it's just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours, so we can pay the bills or do the laundry or just have some peace and quiet for a change.

Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art.

Oscar Wilde

Exuberance is beauty.

I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness(The Genuine Islam, Vol. I, No 8)

George Bernard Shaw

Albert Camus

Vita Sackville-West

Through travel I first became aware of the outside world it was through travel that I found my own introspective way into becoming a part of it.

Eudora Welty

Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution

Kahlil Gibran

Why do they want to disarm the people? Well, they want to disarm the people on the assumption that we are not responsible enough to be trusted with the means to defend ourselves--regardless of the truth that our Founders thought that this is an essential prerequisite and precondition of liberty.

Alan Keyes

The commercial work of today is the classics of tomorrow.

Orson Scott Card

A wedding is such a girl thing.

Selma Blair

Many citizens see all the leadership of these large institutions together in a conspiracy against them rather than in any adversary relationship with each other.
