My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures.

I love sports, as all Bostonians seem to. I love books and movies, as all writers seem to.

William Landay

If at any moment of the day I ever think I'm remotely cool at all, which is hardly ever, I have two daughters who make sure that never happens.

Pat Benatar

Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something.

William Goldman

Prayer is a passport to heaven. Your communication with God.

I was just a kid and I didn't have a dad. That's hard, because when you're a kid, you blame yourself for everything. And I blamed myself for him not being around, for my parents not being together.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.

Mahatma Gandhi

When we drop fear, we can draw nearer to people, we can draw nearer to the earth, we can draw nearer to all the heavenly creatures that surround us.

Bell Hooks

A plague on eminence! I hardly dare cross the street anymore without a convoy, and I am stared at wherever I go like an idiot member of a royal family or an animal in a zoo and zoo animals have been known to die from stares.

Igor Stravinsky

A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.

Agnes Repplier

Compared to what we ought to be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources. Stating the thing broadly, the human individual thus lives far within his limits. He possesses power of various sorts which he habitually fails to use.

William James

My illness has taught me something about the nature of humanity, love, brotherhood and relationships that I never understood, and probably never would have. So, from that standpoint, there is some truth and good in everything.

Lee Atwater

Begin - to begin is half the work, let half still remain; again begin this, and thou wilt have finished.

Marcus Aurelius
