1. Designing is my hobby. If I didn't do what I do for a living - at some point when I don't do this for a living - I'll probably just do design work. I love finding really special pieces of furniture.
  2. Faith is part of who I am, yes. I was raised Christian Scientist. The most important thing I saw every single week on the wall at Sunday school was the Golden Rule.
  3. Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.
  4. Here are the values that I stand for: honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you want to be treated and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values.
  5. I am saddened by how people treat one another and how we are so shut off from one another and how we judge one another, when the truth is, we are all one connected thing. We are all from the same exact molecules.
  6. I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.
  7. I get those fleeting, beautiful moments of inner peace and stillness - and then the other 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day, I'm a human trying to make it through in this world.
  8. I had everything I'd hoped for, but I wasn't being myself. So I decided to be honest about who I was. It was strange: The people who loved me for being funny suddenly didn't like me for being... me.
  9. I think they should have a Barbie with a buzz cut.
  10. I was coming home from kindergarten - well they told me it was kindergarten. I found out later I had been working in a factory for ten years. It's good for a kid to know how to make gloves.
  11. I was raised in an atmosphere of 'everything's fine.' But as I got older, I was like, 'Well no, everything's not fine. There is stuff that's sad.' I am a really sensitive person. I think I am too sensitive sometimes.
  12. I would love to have the same rights as everybody else. I would love, I don't care if it's called marriage. I don't care if it's called, you know, domestic partnership. I don't care what it's called.
  13. In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.
  14. My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the hell she is.
  15. Nothing says holidays, like a cheese log.
  16. People always ask me, 'Were you funny as a child?' Well, no, I was an accountant.
  17. So many people prefer to live in drama because it's comfortable. It's like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship - it's actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.
  18. The first time probably people really were aware of me, I unfortunately had the title of Showtime's Funniest Person in America. And that's a really tough title to travel around with when you're not even known.
  19. The world is full of a lot of fear and a lot of negativity, and a lot of judgment. I just think people need to start shifting into joy and happiness. As corny as it sounds, we need to make a shift.
  20. When we were growing up our parents somehow made it clear that being famous was good. And I mistakenly thought that if I was famous then everyone would love me.
  21. While I was doing stand-up, I thought I knew for sure that success meant getting everyone to like me. So I became whoever I thought people wanted me to be. I'd say yes when I wanted to say no, and I even wore a few dresses.

  1. Acknowledging class was always difficult for 'New Democrats' - it was second-wave, it was divisive - but 2008 made retro politics cool again.
  2. As you watch the world crumble, try taking your Armageddon with this sprinkling of irony: Over the last three decades, business has got virtually everything it wanted, and its doomsday scenario from the 1970s has come true because of it.
  3. Concerns about the size and role of government are what seem to leave reformers stammering and speechless in town-hall meetings. The right wants to have a debate over fundamental principles elected Democrats seem incapable of giving it to them.
  4. For-profit higher education is today a booming industry, feeding on the student loans handed out to the desperate.
  5. Government is, by its very nature, a destroyer of liberties the Obama administration, specifically, is promising to interfere with the economy and the health care system so profoundly that Washington will soon have us all in chains.
  6. In America, we no longer have an institutionalized, organized way of calling business to task - of taking them to account for what they've done - and this is especially true in the cultural realm.
  7. Liberal that I am, I support health-care reform on its merits alone. My liberal blood boils, for example, when I read that half of the personal bankruptcies in this country are brought on, in part, by medical expenses.
  8. Money has transformed every watchdog, every independent authority. Medical doctors are increasingly gulled by the lobbying of pharmaceutical salesmen.
  9. Mr. Obama still has time to reverse course. A great deal depends on it. To fail on health care yet again might well be the 'Waterloo' Republicans dream of.
  10. One of the things I keep coming back to in my writing is that society doesn't work on this mirror principle, you don't have an exact replica on the left of what you have on the right. It just doesn't work that way.
  11. Selling public property is the true Chicago way. Had Mr. Obama not been elected president, the nation's business journals would be falling over one another to praise his city for its daring, market-friendly innovations.
  12. The only truly individualistic health-care choice - where you receive care that is unpolluted by anyone else's funds - is to forgo insurance altogether, paying out-of-pocket for health services as you need them.
  13. There is much to dislike about President Obama's approach to the financial crisis. But opposition, it seems, will have to come from somewhere other than conservatism. The party out of power is also a party out of touch.
  14. This aesthetic quality, then, is what politics is all about. It's authenticity that separates winners from losers, good politics from bad, and he-man leader-types from consultant-directed puppet-boys.
  15. What is at stake in the debate over health care is more than the mere crafting of policy. The issue is now the identity of the Democratic Party.
  16. When the entertainers of the Right aren't declaring their disgust with President Obama for groveling before foreign potentates, they're pretending to fear him as a left-wing thug, an exemplar of what they call 'the Chicago way.'
  17. While Democrats fussed with the details of health care reforms, conservatives spent months telling the nation that the real issue is freedom, that what's on the line is American liberty itself.
  18. Yes, Democrats can prove that America pays more for health care than other countries yes, they have won the dispute that private health insurance is needlessly expensive. But what they've lost is the argument that we are a society.

  1. All my life, I have loved and been inspired by French cinema, and as a studio head it has been my pride and joy to have the ability to bring movies to audiences around the world.
  2. All my movies got screwed up because of my personality.
  3. As a young man, I went to Paris and soaked up many hours of film knowledge from Robert Hakim in my efforts to become a producer.
  4. Audiences want to see intelligent movies.
  5. Every time I do a movie like 'Finding Neverland' or 'Chocolat' or 'Shakespeare' in Love,' we deal with the creative process, but there's humor and fun along the way. I always love that kind of movie.
  6. George Clooney's 'Ides of March' could be the most under-appreciated movie of the year. In 20 years they're gonna go back and say, 'Oh, that was American politics in that time period.' I follow politics, I love it, and that movie is so authentic.
  7. I hope to continue my friendship with France and its filmmakers for many years to come.
  8. I just finished my homework fast, I was bored to death. There wasn't 500 channels so there was a thing for a librarian to teach a kid like me about reading. I started reading early and I read all the time, because I love it.
  9. I learned what I really love is making films, not the film business. I want to be on the set, meeting with writers, I want that freedom. I love it now.
  10. I must admit, even though I'm the product of two Jewish parents, I think the Irish temper got in there somewhere, so I'm going to check Mom's genealogy.
  11. I think I took my eye off the ball. From about 2005,2006,2007, I was out of it. I thought I could oversee movies and have it done for me, so to speak.
  12. I wanted to do something inspirational for my children.
  13. I... grew up in politics and I used to work for the Democratic Party.
  14. I'd never made a teen comedy in my life.
  15. If an Internet company steals content, they shut it down. And let me tell you, Apple France, Yahoo France or Google France, none of them have gone out of business.
  16. I'm probably the only person who goes to work and says 'Wow, it's really nice here and sweet,' even in the competitive movie business.
  17. It's hard to think of yourself as a brand, especially when I have four daughters who kick my butt early in the morning every day before I go to work.
  18. It's the golden age of French cinema again but it's because Sarkozy had the guts to push through copyright law.
  19. I've been involved with violent movies, and then I've also said at a certain point, 'I can't take it anymore. Please cut it.' You know, you've got to respect the filmmaker, and it's a really tough issue.
  20. I've had such a great track record in making a huge profit when the movies are smaller.
  21. Last year, when 'Black Swan,' 'True Grit' and 'King's Speech' all grossed over $100 million, it gave studios and independent financiers the confidence to make daring movies and not do the same old you-know-what.
  22. My movies are important on an economic basis, on an artistic basis.
  23. Over the years with movies, I've given directors notes.
  24. The great thing that guys like Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and the Google guys have in common is they treat their technology like it's art, and I suppose in the hands of virtuosos like them, it is.
  25. There are two things that come very easily to me: rooting for New York sports teams and making mistakes.
  26. There is nothing like the way people feel after they've seen 'The Intouchables.' They feel amazing. The word of mouth on this film is incredible. It's intelligent-feeling good. You're not insulted by the low-browness or stupidity of some of the humor.
  27. They keep the old business. We keep the ongoing business.
  28. We didn't care if we were well-liked as long as the movies were good. We served the movie - that was our master at Miramax. In our second incarnation, the movie is still the master but we're getting the same results in more subtle ways.
  29. We've been able to access deals that under our former relationship with Disney - with tax advantages and strategic partners - that we just weren't able to do.
  30. When people ask me what makes movies great, it's the material.
  31. You know, my movies are important on an economic basis, on an artistic basis.

  1. A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example.
  2. A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.
  3. God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.
  4. Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.
  5. It is necessary for him who lays out a state and arranges laws for it to presuppose that all men are evil and that they are always going to act according to the wickedness of their spirits whenever they have free scope.
  6. It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles.
  7. Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions.
  8. Men are so simple and yield so readily to the desires of the moment that he who will trick will always find another who will suffer to be tricked.
  9. Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others.
  10. Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries - for heavy ones they cannot.
  11. Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear.
  12. Nature that framed us of four elements, warring within our breasts for regiment, doth teach us all to have aspiring minds.
  13. Never was anything great achieved without danger.
  14. No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.
  15. One change always leaves the way open for the establishment of others.
  16. Politics have no relation to morals.
  17. Princes and governments are far more dangerous than other elements within society.
  18. The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel. There are only individual egos, crazy for love.
  19. The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.
  20. The main foundations of every state, new states as well as ancient or composite ones, are good laws and good arms you cannot have good laws without good arms, and where there are good arms, good laws inevitably follow.
  21. The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
  22. There is no avoiding war it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.
  23. There is no surer sign of decay in a country than to see the rites of religion held in contempt.
  24. There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
  25. To understand the nature of the people one must be a prince, and to understand the nature of the prince, one must be of the people.
  26. War is just when it is necessary arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.
  27. War should be the only study of a prince. He should consider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes as ability to execute, military plans.
  28. Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great.
  29. Whoever conquers a free town and does not demolish it commits a great error and may expect to be ruined himself.
  30. Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times.

  1. Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.
  2. For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent.
  3. I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk.
  4. In life you need either inspiration or desperation.
  5. It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.
  6. I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.
  7. Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.
  8. My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.
  9. Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year - and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!
  10. One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.
  11. Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.
  12. Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.
  13. Success comes from taking the initiative and following up... persisting... eloquently expressing the depth of your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life?
  14. Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.
  15. The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.
  16. The path to success is to take massive, determined action.
  17. The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.
  18. The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors.
  19. There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.
  20. There's no abiding success without commitment.
  21. To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.
  22. Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant.
  23. We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it's not the events that matter most to us, but rather, it's how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.
  24. We aren't in an information age, we are in an entertainment age.
  25. We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.
  26. You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.

  21. Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.
  22. Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.

  24. Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported?

  1. A beautiful bouquet or a long-lasting flowering plant is a traditional gift for women, but I have recommended that both men and women keep fresh flowers in the home for their beauty, fragrance, and the lift they give our spirits.
  2. By keeping my hand in that, it's the way I keep learning. The main way you learn in medicine is by practicing and working with patients.
  3. Clearly, America's dysfunctional food culture must bear some of the blame for our excess pounds, but it's likely our walking-averse lifestyles contribute as well.
  4. Fear and greed are potent motivators. When both of these forces push in the same direction, virtually no human being can resist.

  6. Get people back into the kitchen and combat the trend toward processed food and fast food.
  7. Human beings have survived for millennia because most of us make good decisions about our health most of the time.
  8. I am a particular fan of integrative exercise - that is, exercise that occurs in the course of doing some productive activity such as gardening, bicycling to work, doing home improvement projects and so on.
  9. I am not against all forms of high-tech medicine. Drugs and surgeries have a secure place in the treatment of serious health conditions. But modern American medicine treats almost every health condition as if it were an emergency.
  10. I fully support a national health care program for the U.S.
  11. If we can make the correct diagnosis, the healing can begin. If we can't, both our personal health and our economy are doomed.

Everyone benefits from healthy eating, but it is particularly crucial at the beginning of life.Low levels of vitamin D in the population as a whole suggest that most people need to take a vitamin D supplement. This may be especially true for seniors, as the ability to synthesize vitamin D in the skin declines with age.

  14. Most American diets, even bad ones, provide more than enough calcium for bone health, especially for men.
  15. One of the most obvious ways dogs can improve our physical and mental health is via daily walks.

  17. The more easily digestible and refined the carbohydrates, the greater the effect on our health, weight and well-being.
  18. The World Health Organization has recognized acupuncture as effective in treating mild to moderate depression.
  19. Whenever I write about mental health and integrative therapies, I am accused of being prejudiced against pharmaceuticals. So let me be clear - integrative medicine is the judicious application of both conventional and evidence-based natural therapies.
  20. You can't afford to get sick, and you can't depend on the present health care system to keep you well. It's up to you to protect and maintain your body's innate capacity for health and healing by making the right choices in how you live.

  9. If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
  10. If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
  11. If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
  12. I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can... But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
  13. I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.
  14. Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.
  15. Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
  16. Love is the answer, and you know that for sure Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.
  17. Love is the flower you've got to let grow.
  18. Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
  19. My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
  20. Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
  21. Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.

  24. Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
  25. We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.
  26. You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
  27. You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate.

  1. Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy.

  11. I heard the old, old, men say 'all that's beautiful drifts away, like the waters.'

  25. The only business of the head in the world is to bow a ceaseless obeisance to the heart.
  26. The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk they are sober.
  27. The years like great black oxen tread the world, and God, the herdsman goads them on behind, and I am broken by their passing feet.
  28. Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.
  29. To be born woman is to know - although they do not speak of it at school - women must labor to be beautiful.
  30. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
  31. We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.
  32. Why should we honour those that die upon the field of battle? A man may show as reckless a courage in entering into the abyss of himself.
  33. Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.
  34. You know what the Englishman's idea of compromise is? He says, Some people say there is a God. Some people say there is no God. The truth probably lies somewhere between these two statements.

  1. All I can say is that I'm getting married in the future. I've narrowed it down to that.
  2. All that really matters is I have two beautiful kids, and I'm trying to be the best dad I can possibly be, and that's the most important thing of all.
  3. As a child, the family that I had and the love I had from my two parents allowed me to go ahead and be more aggressive, to search and to take risks knowing that, if I failed, I could always come home to a family of love and support.
  4. Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.
  5. For many my behavior has been a major disappointment, my behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners, and everyone involved in my business, but most importantly to the young people we influence, I apologize.
  6. Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.
  7. Hopefully I'll continue to have the success I've had.
  8. I always come from truth.
  9. I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled, and thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them.
  10. I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.
  11. I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart.
  12. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves.
  13. I hurt my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife's family, my friends, my foundation and kids all around the world who admired me.
  14. I will have to earn trust and respect from my kids.
  15. I'd like to share my experiences and the lessons I've learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses.
  16. If money titles meant anything, I'd play more tournaments. The only thing that means a lot to me is winning. If I have more wins than anybody else and win more majors than anybody else in the same year, then it's been a good year.
  17. If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.
  18. I'm aware if I'm playing at my best I'm tough to beat. And I enjoy that.
  19. I'm not as far along as Jack Nicklaus was at this age, but I'm trying.
  20. It's cool now to play golf.
  21. Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.
  22. My dad used to say, 'Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn't influence your intelligence.'
  23. My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.
  24. My mom was tough.
  25. People don't understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that's been what has gotten me this far.
  26. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.
  27. The amount of meetings I've been in - people would be shocked. But that's how you gain experience, how you can gain knowledge, being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow.
  28. The Masters is where I won my first major, and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta.
  29. The thing you don't dream about as a kid is all the peripheral stuff that comes with success.
  30. The virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family.
  31. There's no sense in going to a tournament if you don't believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.
  32. To have the opportunity to complete the slam at the Open at St Andrews, the home of golf, is something I will never ever forget.

  1. A man who has been the indisputable favorite of his mother keeps for life the feeling of a conqueror.
  2. America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.
  3. Analogies, it is true, decide nothing, but they can make one feel more at home.
  4. Analysis does not set out to make pathological reactions impossible, but to give the patient's ego freedom to decide one way or another.
  5. Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
  6. Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.
  7. Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another.
  8. Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy.
  9. I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
  10. If a man has been his mother's undisputed darling he retains throughout life the triumphant feeling, the confidence in success, which not seldom brings actual success along with it.
  11. If youth knew if age could.
  12. Just as a cautious businessman avoids investing all his capital in one concern, so wisdom would probably admonish us also not to anticipate all our happiness from one quarter alone.
  13. Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.
  14. Love and work... work and love, that's all there is.
  15. Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. When he puts on all his auxiliary organs, he is truly magnificent but those organs have not grown on him and they still give him much trouble at times.
  16. Men are more moral than they think and far more immoral than they can imagine.
  17. Men are strong so long as they represent a strong idea they become powerless when they oppose it.
  18. Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
  19. Obviously one must hold oneself responsible for the evil impulses of one's dreams. In what other way can one deal with them? Unless the content of the dream rightly understood is inspired by alien spirits, it is part of my own being.
  20. One is very crazy when in love.
  21. Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.
  22. The act of birth is the first experience of anxiety, and thus the source and prototype of the affect of anxiety.
  23. The conscious mind may be compared to a fountain playing in the sun and falling back into the great subterranean pool of subconscious from which it rises.
  24. The goal of all life is death.
  25. The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is 'What does a woman want?'
  26. The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.
  27. The psychical, whatever its nature may be, is itself unconscious.
  28. The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.
  29. Time spent with cats is never wasted.
  30. We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.
  31. What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.
  32. What we call happiness in the strictest sense comes from the (preferably sudden) satisfaction of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree.
  33. Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.

  1. Everything family does is reflection on the other people.
  2. Having lots of siblings is like having built-in best friends.
  3. Holidays are the best. I couldn't imagine being from a small family.
  4. I always put clothes and family photos under the mattress, in case the house burns down.
  5. I always wanted what Mom and Dad had.
  6. I definitely think anything I'd be in now is a permanent relationship.
  7. I don't even drink! I can't stand the taste of alcohol. Every New Year's Eve I try one drink and every time it makes me feel sick. So I don't touch booze - I'm always the designated driver.
  8. I don't talk about money.
  9. I feel lazy when I'm not working. I learned all my business sense from my dad. He always believed in me, and I think the last thing he said to me before he passed away was, 'I know you're gonna be OK. I'm not worried about you'.
  10. I have to be in a relationship in order to be intimate. I'm not the one-night-stand kind of girl. Despite the rumors.
  11. I just feel my best when I'm all glammed up.
  12. I know some people say it's not the best to work with your family, but I have never understood that because it's always worked so well for me.
  13. I really see myself continuing to design clothes, fragrances.
  14. I remember when the wave of Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek and these beautiful Hispanic women came into light, and I looked up to them and I loved them, but I was like, 'Where are Middle Eastern women?'
  15. I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic.
  16. I wanted to be a teacher.
  17. If I don't feel confident about my body, I'm not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not do something about it. It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up.
  18. If I like a food, I'll eat it, even if I know it's not good for me.
  19. If I look at the message I'm portraying, I think it definitely is be who you are, but be your best you.
  20. If you're a basketball player and you don't stop and take pictures with your fans, you can have an amazing game and everyone still loves you.
  21. I've always been the type to fall in love fast and, with every boyfriend, I plan out my wedding in my head.
  22. My decision to end my marriage was such a risk to lose ratings and lose my fan base. I had to take that risk for my inner peace and to be happy with myself.
  23. My mom and I had the same vision, and we want the same things. We would always make a goal list every year.
  24. My mother has always been the social glue holding the family together.
  25. The perfect date for me would be staying at home, making a big picnic in bed, eating Wotsits and cookies while watching cable TV.
  26. There was at time in my life where all I wanted was a relationship, and I thought that was the most important thing.
  27. There's more pressure to be famous for being yourself than if you're being a character.
  28. To look and feel my best, I watch my calories and exercise.
  29. White is actually one of my favorite colors. I have a white car. I love white.
  30. You make mistakes, but I don't have any regrets. I'm the kind of person who takes responsibility for it and deals with it. I learn from everything I do. I work very hard, I have so many things going on in my life. Get to know me and see who I am.
  31. You never know what the future holds or where my life will take me.

  1. Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included.
  2. Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.
  3. Capital is money, capital is commodities. By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs.
  4. Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society.
  5. Capitalist production, therefore, develops technology, and the combining together of various processes into a social whole, only by sapping the original sources of all wealth - the soil and the labourer.
  6. Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.
  7. Greek philosophy seems to have met with something with which a good tragedy is not supposed to meet, namely, a dull ending.
  8. History does nothing it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.
  9. History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.
  10. In a higher phase of communist society... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
  11. In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.
  12. It is absolutely impossible to transcend the laws of nature. What can change in historically different circumstances is only the form in which these laws expose themselves.
  13. It is not history which uses men as a means of achieving - as if it were an individual person - its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.
  14. Landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed.
  15. Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state.
  16. Natural science will in time incorporate into itself the science of man, just as the science of man will incorporate into itself natural science: there will be one science.
  17. Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious. Freedom is the consciousness of necessity.
  18. On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects.
  19. Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
  20. Religion is the opium of the masses.
  21. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
  22. Revolutions are the locomotives of history.
  23. Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.
  24. The country that is more developed industrially only shows, to the less developed, the image of its own future.
  25. The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
  26. The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.
  27. The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.
  28. The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.
  29. The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.
  30. The product of mental labor - science - always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.
  31. The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.
  32. The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it.
  33. The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.
  34. We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.

  1. At one time there were voiceover artists, now there are celebrity voiceover artists. It's unfortunate because these people need the money less than the voiceover artist.
  2. Every day I try to do breathing exercises, meditation, and yoga. These things sound awfully cliche, but they help me slow down and try to point to a truth.
  3. Games, by nature, have more plot options and non-linear qualities than TV and film.
  4. I don't make decisions based on money.
  5. I don't need my phone to play me music. I need it to be a phone and an e-mail thing.
  6. I drive an electric car.
  7. I enjoy comedy and I hope that people enjoy watching me do it.
  8. I had a fear that I'd be typecast, but I don't really have that fear anymore.
  9. I just spend my money on the essentials. Just basically food and shelter.
  10. I love dogs. They live in the moment and don't care about anything except affection and food. They're loyal and happy. Humans are just too damn complicated.
  11. I may be learning guitar, but I'll never be able to sing.
  12. I mean, you always want everybody to pat you on the back and tell you you're wonderful every time you do something I think that's human nature.
  13. I think patience is a skill and I wish I had it.
  14. I think Polanski's an amazing director.
  15. I think the real heroic teachers are the ones who work with kids, like my mom and my sister do.
  16. I'm always trying to perfect the romantic comedy, though.
  17. I'm turning into a stricter dad.
  18. In this age of media and Internet access, we are much more talkative than ever before.
  19. It's not someone else's responsibility to honor my marriage. It's my responsibility.
  20. I've run into certain geniuses of individualism - they are very few and far between - who live their lives completely on their own terms they are very powerful and have a great amount of happiness. We all should aspire to that.
  21. I've turned down jobs because I've said, 'Honestly, I can't find my way in. I can't do it. I love you, as a director. I think the script is good. You deserve better than I think I can do.'
  22. My entire life has been an attempt to get back to the kind of feelings you have on a field. The sense of brotherhood, the esprit de corps, the focus - there being no past or future, just the ball. As trite as it sounds, I was happiest playing ball.One of the scary things is that, when you're a kid, you look at your dad as the man who has no fear. When you're an adult, you realize your father had fear, and that you have it, too.
  23. People always love and respect characters who speak the truth, even if the truth hurts.
  24. People think celebrities don't have to worry about human things like sickness and death and rent. It's like you've traveled to this Land of Celebrity, this other country. They want you to tell about what you saw.
  25. People think celebrities don't have to worry about human things like sickness and death and rent. It's like you've traveled to this Land of Celebrity, this other country.
  26. The key is to get to know people and trust them to be who they are. Instead, we trust people to be who we want them to be - and when they're not, we cry.
  27. There are certain things I learned when I first started learning about acting, to try and place the character physically and emotionally. And the way you place them emotionally is often with humor.
  28. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging the panoply of life's rich experience.
  29. Well, I still write poetry, but I wouldn't call myself a poet.
  30. You become tyrannized by this notion that women must not only be treated equally, but they must never fail.
  31. You're raising a kid and you give it food and shelter and, most importantly, you give it the feeling that it's special. I think people react to celebrities like that - I mean, they treat celebrities like children.

  1. A liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after.
  2. Because I have work to care about, it is possible that I may be less difficult to get along with than other women when the double chins start to form.
  3. Childbirth is more admirable than conquest, more amazing than self-defense, and as courageous as either one.
  4. Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.
  5. For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable.
  6. God may be in the details, but the goddess is in the questions. Once we begin to ask them, there's no turning back.
  7. Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described - and will be, after our deaths - by each of the family members who believe they know us.
  8. Hope is a very unruly emotion.
  9. I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.
  10. I'd like to be played as a child by Natalie Wood. I'd have some romantic scenes as Audrey Hepburn and have gritty black-and-white scenes as Patricia Neal.
  11. If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot?
  12. If women have young children, they are one man away from welfare.
  13. If you say, I'm for equal pay, that's a reform. But if you say. I'm a feminist, that's a transformation of society.
  14. It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than watch it accumulate.
  15. It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.
  16. I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.
  17. Men should think twice before making widow hood woman's only path to power.
  18. Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.
  19. Most women are one man away from welfare.
  20. Most women's magazines simply try to mold women into bigger and better consumers.
  21. No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office.
  22. Planning ahead is a measure of class. The rich and even the middle class plan for future generations, but the poor can plan ahead only a few weeks or days.
  23. Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
  24. Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry.
  25. The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.
  26. The first resistance to social change is to say it's not necessary.
  27. The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day a movement is only people moving.
  28. We'll never solve the feminization of power until we solve the masculinity of wealth.
  29. We've begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.
  30. Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
