Edmund BurkeWorry is anti-trust. If you're worried, you don't trust something: your kids, their friends, strangers, the church, even God. Can He take care of your children? Certainly.

Haruki MurakamiThese past years have been really transitional for me in every aspect - personally, emotionally and professionally.

Bethany CosentinoKids need to know more than just about unicorns and zombies and vampires. The rhetoric that's coming out is anti-black, anti-Mexico, anti-diversity.

Tell them, "this is what's bothering me." Explain that what's going on is unacceptable.

Vinny GuadagninoI cannot emphasize enough how wrongheaded this is. Withholding criticism and ignoring differences are racism in its purest form.

The experts may have the best of intentions, but as we all know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Ayaan Hirsi AliWe consult astrology charts like the Babylonians, try to make our children into our own image with a firm hand like the Romans, elbow others to get a breath-quickening glimpse of the queen in her ritual procession, and confess to the priests and attend church.

The reason is plain enough: none of these, nor all of them taken together, represents an integrated world conception into which we fit ourselves with pure belief and trust.

Wilhelm von HumboldtWhen I first got to the White House, I was super anxious all the time about not knowing the answer to every question. And Obama was actually the person who let me be me.

I brought a different perspective and I was a little bit more irreverent and casual.
Alyssa MastromonacoThat the outer man is a picture of the inner, and the face an expression and revelation of the whole character, is a presumption likely enough in itself, and therefore a safe one to go on; borne out as it is by the fact that people are always anxious to see anyone who has made himself famous. Photography offers the most complete satisfaction of our curiosity.
