George Allen, Sr.
The huge problem in our society is the enormous ignorance of the ideas that underlie modern art.
Thom Mayne
We need international support so that our people live a life of normality, of dignity, of liberty and freedom. I hope that our cry for freedom may be heard.
Mahmoud Abbas
Our safety at home and the cause of freedom abroad is largely contingent upon our success in Iraq.
Ron Lewis
The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year.
John Foster Dulles
God intended Earth. God intended the waters. God intended you and me. We were created in the image and the likeness of God; we are holograms, if you will. So the power, the presence, the energy is within you and me. The energy of God, as life, is within each of us.
Mary Manin Morrissey

Sandra Cisneros

Charles Dickens
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

Theodore Sturgeon
