Young girls look to me as a role model and think I crash diet to keep slim. That's not true, I always eat properly.

I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.

Warren Buffett

Objection, evasion, joyous distrust, and love of irony are signs of health; everything absolute belongs to pathology.

Friedrich Nietzsche

We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.

Helen Hayes

Normally, in anything I do, I'm fairly miserable. I do it, and I get grumpy because there is a huge, vast gulf, this aching disparity, between the platonic ideal of the project that was living in my head, and the small, sad, wizened, shaking, squeaking thing that I actually produce.

Neil Gaiman

Our life is a book that writes itself and whose principal themes sometimes escape us. We are like characters in a novel who do not always understand what the author wants of them.

Julien Green

I stand before you today because this vision of government as the engine of opportunity is what I believe in.

Eliot Spitzer

Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of tricks and duplicity than straight forward and simple integrity in another.

Charles Caleb Colton

Every life has a soundtrack.There is a tune that makes me think of the summer I spent rubbing baby oil on my stomach in pursuit of the perfect tan. There's another that reminds me of tagging along with my father on Sunday morning to pick up the There's the song that reminds me of using fake ID to get into a nightclub; and the one that brings back my cousin Isobel's sweet sixteen, where I played Seven Minutes in Heaven with a boy whose breath smelled like tomato soup. If you ask me, music is the language of memory.

Jodi Picoult

No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity; the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.

In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

Mahatma Gandhi

I know what wages beauty gives, How hard a life her servant lives, Yet praise the winters gone: There is not a fool can call me friend, And I may dine at journey's end With Landor and with Donne.

William Butler Yeats
