Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.

I should like to lie at your feet and die in your arms.

Brad was a huge surprise to me. I think we were both the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn’t. I was quite content to be a single mom with Mad.

You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent.

People haven’t always been there for me, but music always has.

He that struggles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.

It’s very important to know the neighbor next door and the people down the street and the people in another race.

I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.

Solidarity is an attitude of resistance, I suppose, or it should be.

My father wasn’t perfect. He had a temper. I took some of that. He would snap, but the older he got, he started calming down. He learned about life, but the thing that he taught my whole family was that family was the most important thing and, no matter what, if a family member needs you, you go and help them out; you get there.

If you were the President of the United States or the Queen of England – you couldn’t have a person who would be more protective than my mother was for me. Which meant really that I could dare to do all sorts of things.

Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.

Tonight – to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans – I ask for your support.

Marriage is a series of desperate arguments people feel passionately about.

I don’t like to beat people down. They need to be lifted up.

The more I grow in popularity, the lonelier it gets. Because you don’t really know me. You just know this part of me. You fell in love with that. But it’s way more intricate than what meets the surface.

When the bank asks me about my assets, I include my friendship with Regis Philbin.

Poverty breeds despair. We know this. Despair breeds violence. We know this. In turbulent times, isn’t it cheaper, and smarter, to make friends out of potential enemies than to defend yourself against them later?

The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they’re gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you’re going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home.

Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

We need to understand that we as citizens and as a government in any community throughout this country have no more important obligation than to educate those who are going to replace us.

I’m drawn to bad romances.

As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.

We live in a world that has narrowed into a neighborhood before it has broadened into a brotherhood.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.

Just like every person who works for Dortmund is a fan of the club, it was the same at Mainz. When I was a player there, we had 800 supporters on rainy Saturday afternoons, and if we died, no one would notice or come to our funeral. But we loved the club, and we have this same feeling at Dortmund.

I’d like to believe that the people that have supported me in my work or identified with me in films, the people that feel they know me, they do and they don’t have misconceptions – they understand. I believe that.

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

I’m convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they’re stones that don’t matter. As long as you’re breathing, it’s never too late to do some good.

Be of love a little more careful than of anything.

You have to give others the opportunity to love who you love. If they don’t accept it, it’s their loss.

I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.

Perhaps people like us cannot love. Ordinary people can – that is their secret.

My family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn’t have any money, because Africa was the ‚dark continent‘, and because I was a girl.

There’s pros and cons of a big church. Cons is I don’t get to know everybody, I don’t get to go to their ballgame, I don’t get to marry everybody, but the pros are you get all this community, 800 ushers come in to serve, getting there at 7 in the morning on their day off and coming in on Saturday to make all those wafers.

Men and women do think differently, and frankly, we don’t understand each other. Not at all! But that’s what makes relationships so amazing.

Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.

I supported Donald Trump.

Why are women… so much more interesting to men than men are to women?

If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.

A man’s only as old as the woman he feels.

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

Do not rebuke mockers, or they will hate you; rebuke the wise, and they will love you.

I spend a lot of time just, you know, with my girlfriend and my dog. And I mean, we don’t have a lot of furniture in our house, so it’s really simple. And we’re trying to build products for everyone in the world, right. And you don’t want to get isolated to do that.

War should only be declared by the authority of the people, whose toils and treasures are to support its burdens, instead of the government which is to reap its fruits.

What we need is a system of thought – you might even call it a religion – that can bind humans together. A system that would fit the Republic of Chad as well as the United States: a system that would supply our idealistic young people with something to believe in.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

I’m very disappointed in Obama. I was very much in support of him in the beginning, but I cannot support war. I cannot support droning. I cannot support capitulating to the banks.

As I grow up, the lessons I learn in love and relationships and how we treat each other are hopefully maturing – hopefully.

Engineering didn’t take to me. And what saved me and kept me in college was I ran into ROTC cadets who were in a fraternity called The Pershing Rifles. And I found my place. I found discipline. I found structure. I found people that were like me and I liked.

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

It is plain indeed that in spite of later estrangement Hobbits are relatives of ours: far nearer to us than Elves, or even than Dwarves. Of old they spoke the languages of Men, after their own fashion, and liked and disliked much the same things as Men did. But what exactly our relationship is can no longer be discovered.

I advocate that every woman be a part of a circle, and a circle that meets at least once a month, or if you can’t do that, once every two months or every four months.

I never promise anything. I don’t promise anything to my mum. I don’t promise anything to the supporters.

How do I know about a man’s needs for a sex symbol? I’m a girl.

Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed, and rightly.

A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.

I like to write about love and love lost because I feel like there are so many different subcategories of emotions that you can possibly delve into.

There are few things that we so unwillingly give up, even in advanced age, as the supposition that we still have the power of ingratiating ourselves with the fair sex.
