The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing – that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world – is what I wish for all.

I am an Addictive Personality, they say, a natural slave to passion – and many Doctors have warned me against it. I am a High-risk Patient.

Many of us have been running all our lives. Practice stopping.

It’s a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn’t support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, ‚Well, yeah,‘ but you start to think, ‚Why not, though?‘ What makes one more valuable than another?

I think we must get rid of slavery, or we must get rid of freedom.

I’m thrilled to have Corona join me on my ‚X100PRE‘ Tour to give my fans a taste of Corona Estereo Beach and showcase their support of Latin music. It’s not solely about the music – it’s about the culture, creativity, and contributing to the movement that connects us all together.

Remember, man does not live on bread alone: sometimes he needs a little buttering up.

I took it up as part of a personal readjustment following some bewildering experiences as an infantryman and later as a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany.

In all my days of schooling, from preschool all the way up to 12th grade, there was not one white person in my class. Literally zero.

Medicines are only fit for old people.

It is a curious thing: man, the centre and creator of all science, is the only object which our science has not yet succeeded in including in a homogeneous representation of the universe. We know the history of his bones, but no ordered place has yet been found in nature for his reflective intelligence.

I’m not really book-smart.

It was very lucky for me as a writer that I studied the physical sciences rather than English. I wrote for my own amusement. There was no kindly English professor to tell me for my own good how awful my writing really was. And there was no professor with the power to order me what to read, either.

I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves, and I watch my daughters – two beautiful, intelligent black young women – playing with their dogs on the White House lawn. And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters, and all our sons and daughters, now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.

You know that being an American is more than a matter of where your parents came from. It is a belief that all men are created free and equal and that everyone deserves an even break.

I like working. That’s when I’m feeling my best. And the people around me know that. My wife knows that.

After my first year of college, each course I took in every field was so boring that I didn’t even go to the classes.

Experience is the teacher of all things.

The mainstream is always under attack.

Do I dare set forth here the most important, the most useful rule of all education? It is not to save time, but to squander it.

In fourth grade, I missed 82 days of school. Out of 160.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly. And it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life.

For NASA, space is still a high priority.

My grandmother is over eighty and still doesn’t need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle.

With all singers, insecurity is your best security. That’s why we’re such loud people and why we walk all funny. You think, ‚Are people interested?‘ But I think our band has something and they know we don’t just put albums out. We do think about it.

I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon.

In various countries and times, leaders of groups that lagged behind, economically and educationally, have taught their followers to blame all their problems on other people – and to hate those other people.

Most Africans don’t get to see these wild animals at all. Once they see and learn about them, they are much more likely to become involved in protecting the environment.

Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.

It is only when the rich are sick that they fully feel the impotence of wealth.

Theoretical physics is one of the few fields in which being disabled is no handicap – it is all in the mind.

I don’t write so much now. I’m getting on 33, pot belly and creeping dementia.

The Kobe craze really annoyed me. Most of the practitioners had no real understanding of the product and were abusing it and exploiting it in terrible and ridiculous ways. Kobe beef should not be used in a hamburger. It’s completely pointless.

I’ll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.

I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

‚Whole Women’s Health‘ made it very clear that poor women were no longer going to be left out.

There is spontaneity to my work.

This character feels so much like my brother. He has two children. He has a wife. He works with me. He chooses to stay in New Hampshire because he wants his kids to grow up in the school they started with. He doesn’t want them to lose friends. He is his family’s hero.

As for me, prizes are nothing. My prize is my work.

In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free – honorable alike in that we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.

Teachers are expected to be teachers, psychiatrists, nurses, sociologists, psychologists, surrogate moms or dads, as the case may be.

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

We live in a culture that relishes tearing others down. It’s ultimately more fulfilling, though, to help people reach their goals. Instead of feeling jealous, remember: If God did it for them, He can do it for you.

Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts.

It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree.

I make it a rule never to smoke while I’m sleeping.

I just want to be just as everyone else. I want to educate myself and be just like a normal teenager.

It’s all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you’re properly trained.

There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine.

‚Evil men have no songs.‘ How is it that the Russians have songs?

My message to the Americans is the same as to everyone – that is to unite behind the science and to act on the science.

I’m a workin‘ girl.

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it.

I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.

Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends.
