The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.

A lesser complaint: hair extensions. There are moments on 'All My Children' when half the women actors, young and old, seem to be afflicted by android Barbie creep. All those thick swatches of lifeless strands clustering lankly round ladies' necks! Like orange tanning spray, this is a fashion fad that should be put out of its misery.

Camille Paglia

I'm not really interested in sports psychology. It makes me feel like a crazy person.

Michelle Wie

Earlier in my life, I performed a lot of music. Some of it because I felt it was a demonstration, or a representation of certain intellectual concepts that were very exciting and important.

Michael Tilson Thomas

When man learns to understand and control his own behavior as well as he is learning to understand and control the behavior of crop plants and domestic animals, he may be justified in believing that he has become civilized.

Ayn Rand

I'm not a believer in the pratfall. I don't think it's funny just to have someone fall down.

Harold Ramis

The principal contributor to loneliness in this country is television. What happens is that the family 'gets together' alone.

Ashley Montagu

Women are always most observed when they seem themselves least to observe, or to lay out for observation.

Samuel Richardson

Life is a test. ? It was designed to be so. ? It is where we taste the bitter and the sweet; where we feel pain and pleasure; where we learn right from wrong; where we pass through both darkness and light. ? It is a time to make choices. ? And through this process we form our characters - some grand and glorious, some barely decent, and others just plain monstrous.?

Richelle E. Goodrich

A pet store is a celebration of dogs' existence and an explosion of options. About cats, a pet store seems to say, 'Here, we couldn't think of anything else.' Cats are the Hanukkah of the animal world in this way. They are feted quietly and happily by a minority, but there's only so much hoopla applicable to them.

Sloane Crosley

I wouldn't change a thing - except my bank balance.

Johnny Thunders

If the history of the Day of Atonement has anything to say to us now it is: never relieve individuals of moral responsibility. The more we have, the more we grow.

Jonathan Sacks

Friendship is to be purchased only by friendship. A man may have authority over others, but he can never have their hearts but by giving his own.
