I do not recognize the right of the public to break in the front door of a man’s private life in order to satisfy the gaze of the curious… I do not think it right to dissect living men even for the advancement of science.

Gilbert K. ChestertonRelationships based on obligation lack dignity.
Wayne DyerI’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.
Anthony BourdainI 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.

Andrew CarnegieMy mother would kill me if I posed nude! My mother raised me with certain standards.
RihannaIf you cry over a guy, then your friends can’t date him. It can’t even be considered.
