My range is limited.

In known history, nobody has had such capacity for altering the universe than the people of the United States of America. And nobody has gone about it in such an aggressive way.

If I love you, what business is it of yours?

Iran has little capacity to deploy force. Its strategic doctrines are defensive, designed to deter invasion long enough for diplomacy to set it.

Please think of me like an endangered species and just observe me quietly from far away. If you try to talk to me or touch me casually, I may get intimidated and bite you. So please be careful.

Relationships based on obligation lack dignity.

I feel only my friends and family need to know what is happening in my personal life.

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.

Everything has its limit – iron ore cannot be educated into gold.

Never, and I mean never, allow anyone else’s ideas of who you can or can’t become sully your dream or pollute your imagination. This is your territory, and a ‚Keep Out‘ sign is a great thing to erect at all entrances to your imagination.

I’m all for a good rivalry as long as lines are drawn.

Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.

If you cry over a guy, then your friends can’t date him. It can’t even be considered.

I’m not searching for hard news; I’m not a journalist, but I’m interested in pushing to boundaries of where we can do the kind of stories that we want to do. I mean, it’s a big world and CNN has made it a lot bigger and they haven’t flinched.

Woman begins by resisting a man’s advances and ends by blocking his retreat.

The unsaid rule for living in a trailer park is: ‚If the door’s shut, don’t come a-knockin.‘ But if it’s open and you’re walkin‘ by, feel free to say, ‚Hello.‘

I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it’s a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table.

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

There is a boundary to men’s passions when they act from feelings; but none when they are under the influence of imagination.

I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.

A capacity, and taste, for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.

You cannot mix sports with politics.

I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.

If one oversteps the bounds of moderation, the greatest pleasures cease to please.

The universe is very large, and its boundaries are not known very well, but it is still possible to define some kind of a radius to be associated with it.

I respect Chris Brown. I’d like to call myself a friend – I don’t know if I’m allowed to do that.

There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest.

My mother would kill me if I posed nude! My mother raised me with certain standards.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

I only wish that ordinary people had an unlimited capacity for doing harm; then they might have an unlimited power for doing good.

Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish.

When I was five, I think, that’s when I started wanting to be an actress. I loved to play. I didn’t like the world around me because it was kind of grim, but I loved to play house. It was like you could make your own boundaries.

I don’t want to do free jazz! Because free jazz – which is the musical equivalent of free marketeering – isn’t actually free at all. It’s just constrained by what your muscles can do.

I know that one of the great arts that the writer develops is the art of saying, ‚No. No, I’m finished. Bye.‘ And leaving it alone. I will not write it into the ground. I will not write the life out of it. I won’t do that.

The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot forever fence it out.

As soon as I go out into the world, I belong, in a way, to everyone else. It’s legal to follow me. It’s legal to stalk me at the beach. And I can’t call the police or ask them to leave.

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

The fault lines are shifting from the boundaries of nations into the web of our societies and the streets of our cities. And, terrorism and extremism are a global force that are larger than their changing names, groups, territories and targets.

Don’t ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.

The capacity of the female mind for studies of the highest order cannot be doubted, having been sufficiently illustrated by its works of genius, of erudition, and of science.

As the father of eight children, I’m quite convinced that each individual arrives here with their own unique personality. We are intended here from an invisible held of infinite potentiality. That which has no form, has no boundaries – it’s the I that’s in the ever-changing body.

The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business.

As a writer, as a creator, I’m giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain’t got to pry beyond that.

A diplomatic solution that puts significant and verifiable constraints on Iran’s nuclear program represents the best and most sustainable chance to ensure that America, Israel, the entire Middle East will never be menaced by a nuclear-armed Iran.

People have this capacity within them to set the world straight.

The minute you start compromising for the sake of massaging somebody’s ego, that’s it, game over.

There are always people always asking you for something. But I feel like I have a foundation. I have a supporting cast where it doesn’t bother me too much.

Genius at first is little more than a great capacity for receiving discipline.

Go up close to your friend, but do not go over to him! We should also respect the enemy in our friend.

Guarding your heart and protecting your dignity are a little bit more important than clarifying the emotions of someone who’s only texting you back three words. I’ve learned that from trying to figure out people who don’t deserve to be figured out.

Just because you like my stuff doesn’t mean I owe you anything.

Genres aren’t closed boxes. Stuff flows back and forth across the borders all the time.

Wisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life.

I’ve had just about everything punched. I’ve had things grabbed that just shouldn’t be grapped.

It is very hard to not be able to engage with people in a real and honest way because they either want something from me, or they see me as something that I simply am not.

I love the attention but I don’t like too much of it.

It’s not proper for the government to intrude too thoroughly into the domain of the family. It’s inappropriate.

The solar system can support a trillion humans. And then we’d have a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins.

Liberty must be limited in order to be possessed.

The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
