He or she sits there, and they simply try to believe everything they're told.

When we're skating and physical we're at our best and put a lot of pressure on the other team that way.
Jarome IginlaI always think that people think that women in music are always angry. I'm not angry.

I'm like, 'Have you heard rock music made by men?'

Rajneesh...and suddenly it hits you: Human skin is actually made up of billions of tiny units of protoplasm, called "cells"! And what is even more interesting, the ones on the outside are all dying!

I've been doing this since I was eight, and never considered doing anything else, so I really had to kick it into gear.
Jennifer CarpenterBecause of the lingering discrimination, many women still lack confidence. They live in fear of stepping beyond what they feel is acceptable 'female' behavior.

Lennox LewisResearch has convincingly demonstrated that using the "rod" creates children who are not more obedient but who are instead simplymore angry and aggressive than other kids.

John PilgerMost people would say "Ah, Mahatma Gandhi, what a wonderful man, Mother Teresa, maybe Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Dalai Lama."
