Washington, D.C. is what is broken, not the immigration policies. We have good laws. We have people suffer every day because of government's failure to enforce the law and be respectful to the process we have. We have a pathway to citizenship already in place.

The episodes all blend together for me, so I don't remember. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning. I always feel I must be such a disappointment to them.

From Man or Angel the great Architect Did wisely to conceal, and not divulge, His secrets, to be scanned by them who ought Rather admire. Or, if they list to try Conjecture, he his fabric of the Heavens Hath left to their disputes -- perhaps to move His laughter at their quaint opinions wide Hereafter, when they come to model Heaven And calculate the stars: how they will wield The mighty frame: how build, unbuild, contrive To save appearances; how gird the Sphere With Centric and Eccentric scribbled o'er, Cycle and Epicycle, Orb in Orb.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

When I am right, I get angry. Churchill gets angry when he is wrong. So we were often angry at each other.

We didn't know how to run a business, but we had dreams and talent.

Life is an affair of people not of places. But for me, life is an affair of places and that is the trouble.

Much did I rage when young, Being by the world oppressed, But now with flattering tongue It speeds the parting guest.

The question of the value of nationality in art is perhaps unsolvable.

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we mustrise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.

The White House is giving George W. Bush intelligence briefings. You know, some of these jokes just write themselves.

I tried for a while to be an agricultural worker and was hopelessly bored. I would stand around in heaps of manure and sing about the beauty of the work I wasn't doing.

Though conditions have grown puzzling in their complexity, though changes have been vast, yet we may remain absolutely sure of one thing; that now as ever in the past, and as it will ever be in-the future, there can be no substitute for elemental virtues, for the elemental qualities to which we allude when we speak of a man, not only as a good man, but as emphatically a man. We can build up the standard of individual citizenship and individual well-being, we can raise the national standard and make it what it can and shall be made, only by each of us steadfastly keeping in mind that there can be no substitute for the world-old commonplace qualities of truth, justice, and courage, thrift, industry, common sense and genuine sympathy with the fellow feelings of others.

Middle age is when your old classmates are so grey and wrinkled and bald they don't recognize you.

The ultimate indignity is to be given a bedpan by a stranger who calls you by your first name.

The most important thing in acting is honesty. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Right out of high school I never had the fear of getting beat, which is how most people lose.

When I was growing up my mother would say, 'Your dad may have to learn about being a father because he lost his own and that would have affected him'.
