Imelda May

I tried to be a goth for a while. I'd pour baby powder on my face and paint my lips black, but that didn't last long. I thought I looked cool at the time. But then you look back and wonder, 'Why did anyone let me out of the house looking like that?'

Victoria Osteen

We try to keep a good line of communication open with our children. It's not always about trying to just teach them every moment, but it's about listening to them and trying to understand them and gain that sense of communication so when they need to talk to someone, they know that we're there.

F. Sionil Jose

Language as a communication tool is the primary element from which literature is created. Even in pre-literate societies, it exists as songs, riddles, or epics that are chanted.

Carl Rogers

There is another peculiar satisfaction in really hearing someone: It is like listening to the music of the spheres, because beyond the immediate message of the person, no matter what that might be, there is the universal. Hidden in all of the personal communications which I really hear there seem to be orderly psychological laws, aspects of the same order we find in the universe as a whole. So there is both the satisfaction of hearing this person and also the satisfaction of feeling one's self in touch with what is universally true.

Carl Rogers

Bill Vaughan

There are some communities that feel you shouldn't give them the publicity, because it's just going to make people curious. There are communities who feel we need to fight them tooth and nail. What we have seen, though, is that ignoring them does not make them go away. If we sit back and let them have free reign, we lose members of our community.

Imelda May

I never miss a vote; I think that's the power of the people. A lot of people fought and died for us to have votes, for women to have votes in particular - your vote is your one weapon.

Jeremy Allaire

It is now possible to distribute high quality programming that has been produced by much smaller entities.

Tom Campbell

We were hoping for more RVs -- like 300. But it's tough to get them up north, and the gas prices didn't help, either, ... Last year it was $1.79 and now it's $2.69. You get about 6-8 miles to the gallon.

Lisa Madigan

We have a lot of information to sift through. There are 5,100 gas stations in Illinois, ... All you have to do is go out on the street and look up to see how much gas has gone up. We are making determinations as to whether or not there is a legitimate reason for that or whether or not we are being exploited.

Jay Farrar

but at this point it seems kind of inevitable or unstoppable.

David Rakoff

I have let half-decades elapse between books because books have to be writte and writing is awful, but if you are the type of person who makes things, there is no profit in worrying about how or why or when the next project will come into being beyond simply acknowledging that it is inevitable that it will be very soon.

Alan Clark

In the end we are all sacked and it's always awful. It is as inevitable as death following life. If you are elevated there comes a day when you are demoted. Even Prime Ministers.

Arthur C. Clarke

Menachem Begin

Operation Peace for Galilee is not a military operation resulting from the lack of an alternative.

Najib Razak

For many years, Myanmar's leadership was largely shut out from the world of international diplomacy.

Evan Spiegel

What Snapchat said was if we try to model conversations as they occur, they're largely ephemeral. We may try to write down and save the really special moments, but by and large, we just try to let everything go. We remember it, but we don't try to save it.

Michael Griffin

We are largely deferring utilization (of the station) and we are paring logistics (flights) to the bone.

Bruce Schneier

When people are scared, they need something done that will make them feel safe, even if it doesn't truly make them safer. Politicians naturally want to do something in response to crisis, even if that something doesn't make any sense. But unfortunately for politicians, the security measures that work are largely invisible.

Myles Munroe

We live in a disposable, 'cast-off and throw-away' society that has largely lost any real sense of permanence. Ours is a world of expiration dates, limited shelf life, and planned obsolescence. Nothing is absolute.

Samuel P. Huntington

Idina Menzel

To leave that and become disciplined to the point where you realize, 'OK, maybe now is not the time to take one in transition'... him getting that is huge.

William J. Wills

We have been unable to leave the creek.

Noelle Quinn

Bill Bryson

Geologists are never at a loss for paperweights.

Bill Vaughan

Weight loss programs and health clubs have an ethical and legal obligation to adequately disclose details about program costs before customers sign a contract. They should also clearly explain how the program works and what is expected so that consumers can make an informed choice whether to join.

The dews of the evening most carefully shun; Those tears of the sky for the loss of the sun.

Michelle Finch

We know that the losses are in the millions.

Pam Borton

We have two weeks of practice to get things done. Hopefully, this loss will make us better.

Kyle Wilson

We've had losses this year where we've had to bounced back from, and we've done it each time.

William Shakespeare

It is not politic in the commonwealth of nature to preserve virginity. Loss of virginity is rational increase, and there was never virgin got till virginity was first lost. That you were made of is metal to make virgins. Virginity, by being once lost, may be ten times found: by being ever kept, it is ever lost. ’Tis too cold a companion: away with ’t!

I already have plans, Stephen, ... but thanks for the offer. Are you sure you have time for pizza, Mark? I thought you mentioned a project you had to work on tonight.

Joe Gibbs

I couldn't see them overturning that, ... They called it, they reviewed it, and they reversed it. The way their team reacted, I thought it was a done deal. They didn't mention anything to me. They just reversed it.

Tom Connelly

What he had in mind was something in the government, but he never mentioned FEMA.

Henry David Thoreau

How sweet is the perception of a new natural fact!

I did start down that path some time ago,

Darren Shan

Better not to start down a wrong path at all than head down it in the hope of making a detour when something better came along.

Caitlin Flanagan

If you're a writer, you just keep following the path - keep going deeper and deeper into the things that interest you.

Charles Spurgeon

In the end, I think that people that are not willing to take the risk to fail are not true entrepreneurs.

Yancy Butler

Imagine if it happened to you: All of a sudden you find this thing on your wrist and people are telling you it has powers. I would be a little skeptical myself.

Ian Mckellen

I don't think many people will re-read 'The Da Vinci Code.'

Irwin Thomas

I was born into a world where a lot of people who came to the house were performers.

Nancy Gibbs

Power is a tool, influence is a skill; one is a fist, the other a fingertip.

Carrie Fisher

I have a mess in my head sometimes, and there's something very satisfying about putting it into words. Certainly it's not something that you're in charge of, necessarily, but writing about it, putting it into your words, can be a very powerful experience.

Carl Rogers

Powerful is our need to be known, really known by ourselves and others, even if only for a moment.

Carl Sagan

Science is merely an extremely powerful method of winnowing what's true from what feels good.

Carl Sagan

These are all cases of proved or presumptive baloney. A deception arises, sometimes innocently but collaboratively, sometimes with cynical premeditation. Usually the victim is caught up in a powerful emotion -- wonder, fear, greed, grief. Credulous acceptance of baloney can cost you money; that's what P. T. Barnum meant when he said, 'There's a sucker born every minute.' But it can be much more dangerous than that, and when governments and societies lose the capacity for critical thinking, the results can be catastrophic -- however sympathetic we may be to those who have bought the baloney.

Bill Bryson
