Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Globally the Greens have arisen like a spontaneous combustion, a reaction to the narrow-minded state-backed exploitation of resources and wealth for a few at the expense of the many.
Reformist kings can save their dynasties now by helping their countries move smoothly into democracy, or they will end their years in exile like the Russian aristocrats of a century earlier.
I would like to be refered to as 'The Big Aristotle'.
I will admit, like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers, that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate.
I was rather foolish in saying that I did not like arithmetic and to learn figures when I did - I was not thinking quite what I was about. The sums can be done better, if I tried, than they are.
As a student, I was more gifted in history and geography. Things like arithmetic were not my strength.
Crystals grew inside rock like arithmetic flowers. They lengthened and spread, added plane to plane in an awed and perfect obedience to an absolute geometry that even stones - maybe only the stones - understood.
I live in Arizona, and I don't like the way they treat Hispanics there.
The kind of roles that Harrison Ford plays are what really interest me, like 'Indiana Jones' and 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.'
The diversity in the CNN makeup room - it's like Ellis Island! No, it's like Noah's Ark: there are two of everything.
How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600. He wasn't, like, cashing Social Security checks; he wasn't hanging out - he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work.
Young, gay and stuck in Arkansas? Sounds like a horror flick.
Money is like an arm or leg - use it or lose it.
My mother made soft polenta often, and as a child, I would watch her stir until she looked like her arm would fall off.
We've become a little spoiled with menswear in particular because, of course, we've come off a period in the '70s and '80s when Armani, which is very soft, dominated menswear. And we've become obsessed with comfort. I actually don't like that.
I wear everything from hip-hop baggy pants to beautiful Armani dresses. I also like to mix vintage clothing with designer pieces.
I have an armchair interest in gardening, but I don't like to get my knees dirty. I don't have a garden.
I grew up partially with classical music but listened to a lot of rock when I was young - I like acoustic, and folk from Mali and Armenia and Turkey.
A woman telling her true age is like a buyer confiding his final price to an Armenian rug dealer.
