Steven SoderberghAll I can say is Bishop Jakes would not currently accept the designation of Prosperity Preacher or Word of Faith Preacher as an accurate description of what he believes currently. Now his ministry will have to bear that out. I'm not here to defend him or stick up for his various errors. And I don't want to minimize error that is significant. All I'm saying is that he, as of two weeks ago, would not accept those terms, in private conversation, as accurate descriptors of what he believes.
James MacDonaldIt is at least scientifically respectable to postulate that at the centre of a black hole the laws of nature no longer apply.

"What's the difference?" "The first believes that divinity is the universe. The two are synonymous and nonexistent without each other.

Jake EpsteinA man in trouble laments that he did not listen to his teachers, and thus he finds himself in a sad state, utter ruin.

He believes that others, too, have some truth, and he is willing to be instructed by them. He is ready for the mind of God.

Swami VivekanandaI'm the type of actor that believes the director has to be in charge. I've been on sets where the actor's ego was the most important thing, and with a director that messes it up.

I also feel like they cast me for a reason, so I'm going to make my mark on it... let me do my thing.

This is the dancer's justification for being, and his reason for searching further for deeper aspects of his art.

Tori AmosDon't be misled into believing that somehow the world owes you a living.
