Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?

My family kinda hit the skids. We were experiencing poverty at that point. We all got a job, where the whole family had to work as security guards and janitors. And I just got angry.

Jim Carrey

For my part I distrust all generalizations about women, favourable and unfavourable, masculine and feminine, ancient and modern; all alike, I should say, result from paucity of experience. p. 133.

Bertrand Russell

Providing for one's family as a good husband and father is a water-tight excuse for making money hand over fist. Greed may be a sin, exploitation of other people might, on the face of it, look rather nasty, but who can blame a man for doing the best for his children?

Eva Figes

The book borrower...proves himself to be an inveterate collector of books not so much by the fervor with which he guards his borrowed treasures...as by his failure to read these books.

Walter Benjamin, Unpacking My Li

I don't think that there's been one example in history where somebody has openly talked about their personal life and it's done them any good.

Rashida Jones

It is my belief that whereas the twentieth century has been a century of war and untold suffering, the twenty-first century should be one of peace and dialogue. As the continued advances in information technology make our world a truly global village, I believe there will come a time when war and armed conflict will be considered an outdated and obsolete method of settling differences among nations and communities.

Dalai Lama

I am a staunch feminist, in spite of all women's magazines.

Gerhard Kocher

Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfillment.

Pearl S. Buck

Being in love is not cool!

Alice Englert

We increase whatever we praise. The whole creation responds to praise, and is glad.

Charles Fillmore

Men, when they fight in movies, it's a very different style. Harrison Ford was so cool when he had the whip, and Bruce Lee was such an artist that you couldn't take your eyes off of him.

Lucy Liu

Regardless of whether luck or coincidence is involved, desires directed in the right way have a tendency to manifest.
