Henry David Thoreau: If the...

If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth,-certainly the machine will wear out. If the injustice has a spring, or a pulley, or a rope, or a crank, exclusively for itself, then perhaps you may consider whether the remedy will not be worse than the evil; but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter- friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.
/Henry David Thoreau/

Paul Pearshall: Our most...

Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted.

Joyce Carol Oates: Life and...

Life and people are complex. A writer as an artist doesn't have the personality of a politician. We don't see the world that simply.

Publicity is the life of this culture - in so far as without publicity capitalism could not survive - and at the same time publicity is its dream.
/John Berger/

Igor Stravinsky: I have...

I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.

Life without Liberty is far worse than death.

Christine Keeler: We lived...

We lived a very quiet life. We'd never go out. We once went to that sex orgy, and I didn't like it, and that was that. And there were maybe one or two cocktail parties.
/Christine Keeler/

Randall Terry: We are...

We are not at the same place we were in 1973. This country today is drifting, moving steadily towards the pro-life position because the data is with us.
/Randall Terry/

Katey Sagal: But I...

But I started it when I was going through a transitional time in my life. At the end of it, it really sort of symbolized it. I had made room to change, and room to grow. I recorded it in a little room.
/Katey Sagal/

William James: A chain...

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain.

I can't write my life story without Emmitt and Troy. They can't write their life stories without me. We're tied together forever. This is a day to remember for the rest of our lives.

Rainer Maria Rilke: If your...

If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not a poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place.

Thomas Jefferson: Say nothing...

Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one.
/Thomas Jefferson/

We played at a club called, the Elbow Room. Don Carlos, the nightclub owner, was very hip and a very important person who made a big impact on my life.
