Well, the thing about great fictional characters from literature, and the reason that they're constantly turned into characters in movies, is that they completely speak to what makes people human.

I wish there were more true conversion, and then there would not be so much backsliding, and, for fear of suffering, living at ease, when there are so few to contend for Christ and His cause.

Donald Cargill

I need that on stage. I need a burst of life. That's entertainment for me.

Tina Turner

For a lot of people, their first love is what they'll always remember. For me it's always been the first hate, and I think that hatred, though it provides often rather junky energy, is a terrific way of getting you out of bed in the morning and keeping you going. If you don't let it get out of hand, it can be canalized into writing. In this country where people love to be nonjudgmental when they can be, which translates as, on the whole, lenient, there are an awful lot of bubble reputations floating around that one wouldn't be doing one's job if one didn't itch to prick.

Christopher Hitchens

When I was a youngster growing up in South Dakota, we never referred to the national debt, it was always referred to as the war debt because it stemmed from World War I.

George McGovern

We must not only strike the iron while it is hot, we must strike it until it is hot.

Tom Sharp

The ultimate wisdom which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls faith rather than reason.

Hal Borland

The financial reward is great and I love the life I have, but all money makes possible is for you to stop worrying about money. Then you have freedom to live your life.

Paul Stanley

Prayer moves the hand that moves the universe.

I am somebody who... - I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I need that freedom, that ability to make mistakes out there. Because there's a fine line between making a mistake or being brilliant.

Tiffeny Milbrett

These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.

Van Morrison

You have to be fast on your feet and adaptive or else a strategy is useless.

Lou Gerstner

An artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.
