Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.

One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

If you are right, take the humble side -- you will help the other fellow. If you are wrong, take the humble side -- and you will help yourself.

I've always really been into science, and in the last five years I've gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.

Adam Pascal

The secret is to always let the other man have your way.

Claiborne Pell

As to Don Juan, confess that it is the sublime of that there sort of writing; it may be bawdy, but is it not good English? It may be profligate, but is it not life, is it not the thing? Could any man have written it who has not lived in the world? and tooled in a post-chaise? in a hackney coach? in a Gondola? against a wall? in a court carriage? in a vis a vis? on a table? and under it?

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

Leave this hypocritical prating about the masses. Masses are rude, lame, unmade, pernicious in their demands and influence, and need not to be flattered, but to be schooled. I wish not to concede anything to them, but to tame, drill, divide, and break them up, and draw individuals out of them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The less money you owe, the less income you'll need and the less you'll have to save for tomorrow.

Suze Orman

You can get rich making fun of me. I know. I've made lots of money making fun of me.

Glenn Beck

Everyone needs solitude, especially a person who is used to thinking about what she experiences. Solitude is very important in my work as a mode of inspiration, but isolation is not good in this respect. I am not writing poetry about isolation.

Wislawa Szymborska

I have reached the conclusion that those who have physical courage also have moral courage. Physical courage is a great test.

Oriana Fallaci

The thirst to know and understand, a large and liberal discontent.
