Anthony HopkinsMozart’s music is so pure and beautiful that I see it as a reflection of the inner beauty of the universe.
Albert EinsteinI’d read up on the history of our country and I’d become fascinated with the story of the Alamo. To me it represented the fight for freedom, not just in America, but in all countries.
John WayneMy demo was terrible, I sounded like a chipmunk. I was so young.
Bruno MarsMy fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too.

She’s surrounded with wonderful people. Her songs are great. She keeps herself anchored. She knows who she is, and she’s living and standing by that.
Dolly PartonThought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, Thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought is great and swift and free.

Noam ChomskyNothing is more terrible than to see ignorance in action.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful.

Abraham LincolnThe time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves.
George WashingtonThe truth is often terrifying, which I think is one of the motifs of Larry and Andrew’s cinema. The cost of knowledge is an important theme. In the second and third films, they explore the consequences of Neo’s choice to know the truth. It’s a beautiful, beautiful story.

Hunter S. ThompsonThough we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWe also can’t try to take over and rebuild every country that falls into crisis. That’s not leadership; that’s a recipe for quagmire, spilling American blood and treasure that ultimately weakens us. It’s the lesson of Vietnam, of Iraq – and we should have learned it by now.
Barack ObamaTo love rightly is to love what is orderly and beautiful in an educated and disciplined way.
PlatoWe lost the American colonies because we lacked the statesmanship to know the right time and the manner of yielding what is impossible to keep.

Joe BidenMy paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.
