Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past, it is a therapy of sorts, but to be honest, my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done.

I had a career and I came to motherhood late and am not married and have never had such a trusting relationship with a man - and trust is where the real power of love comes from.

Diane Keaton

John Stuart Mill

Laying tracks gives you freedom without being too obvious.

Claude Chabrol

Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops men.

W. E. B. Du Bois

Equality, citizens, is not the whole of society on a level, a society of tall blades of grass and small oaks, or a number of entangled jealousies. It is, legally speaking, every aptitude having the same opportunity for a career; politically all consciences having the same right. Equality has an organ, gratuitous and compulsory education. We must begin with the right to the alphabet.

Victor Hugo

A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you've been taking.

Earl Wilson

Mankind has a free will; but it is free to milk cows and to build houses, nothing more.

Martin Luther

We can bear to be deprived of everything but our self-conceit.

William Hazlitt

Of all the officers of the Government, those of the Department of Justice should be kept most free from any suspicion of improper action on partisan or factional grounds, so that there shall be gradually a growth, even though a slow growth, in the knowledge that the Federal courts and the representatives of the Federal Department of Justice insist on meting out even-handed justice to all.

Theodore Roosevelt
