Men wholly bent on wordly treasures were the dupes of their own passions, rather than deceived by the writings or pretenses of those who claimed to be Alchemists.
Having a leading man who is actually prettier than you are is quite upsetting.
Growing up in the Libya of the 1970s, I remember the prevalence of local bands who were as much influenced by Arabic musical traditions as by the Rolling Stones or the Beatles. But the project of 'Arabisation' soon got to them, too, and western musical instruments were declared forbidden as 'instruments of imperialism.'
What keeps me up at night is worrying about the moms who depend on ACA for all of the preventive care and not to mention prenatal care, the wellness visits, and the cost of delivery.
As anyone who goes into dog-rescue knows, it is not a for-profit business, but the rewards are priceless for me.
I fear that there are too many priesthood bearers who have done little or nothing to develop their ability to access the powers of Heaven.
Is art really the priesthood that demands the pure in heart who belong to it wholly?
The prima ballerinas who taught me were far more scary than Gordon Ramsay. They'd scream at me and pull my legs and arms, so after them Gordon was a piece of cake.
When you have a prime minister who is corrupt, then you can be sure that a country cannot be anything else but corrupt.
Limos are fine for prime ministers or presidents who need the security, but there's no need for CEOs or executives to have one as a status symbol.
In most movies there is a Prince Charming who rides up and saves the girl.
I like the idea of an enlightened principality. In the early eighteen-hundreds, in Germany, there were princes who built schools, streets, homes. I like that.
Marry Prince William? I'd love that. Who wouldn't want to be a princess?
I went from being a jobbing actress who was just earning a living to being the second most photographed woman in Britain, next to Princess Diana - but it was exciting, too, and I wouldn't have swapped it for a second.
I'd like to be remembered as one who kept my priorities in the right order.
There's an actor in the TV show 'Prison Break,' Robert Knepper, who plays a violent sociopath, and he's just incredible in that role.
The prisoner is not the one who has commited a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.
I don't think that there are very many good writers who don't live without a sense of tension. If they haven't got one immediately available to them, then they usually manage to manufacture it in their private lives.
Well, certainly I don't think that there are very many good writers who don't live without a sense of tension. If they haven't got one immediately available to them, then they usually manage to manufacture it in their private lives.
We are used to female writers who use their private lives as unmitigated material being somewhat hormonal; this somehow 'excuses' what might be seen as a highly unfeminine ability to turn their personal upsets into money.
