I think speeches and fruit should always be fresh.

[My] Books are like puppies and children: you love each one for different reasons. I don't actually have a favorite because, if I were honest, I'm always more excited about what is coming.

Now, everything I do, I do because I want to. And I believe the best is yet to come.

We are strong enough to stand tall tearlessly, we are brave enough to bend to cry, and we are sad enough to know that we must laugh again.

If i can't have what i want . . . then my job is to want what i've got and be satisfied that at least there is something more to want

America may not be the best nation on earth, but it has conceived loftier ideals and dreamed higher dreams than any other nation. America is a heterogeneous nation of many different people of different races, religions, and creeds. Should this experiment go forth and prosper, we will have offered humans a new way to look at life; should it fail, we will simply go the way of all failed civilizations.

There're two people in the world that are not likeable: a master and a slave.
