Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.

As it has been told to me, my Dad had some kind of deal with Dick Clark. But when we got here, that fell through. So we were out here with no job, no furniture, no food.

Contact is all it takes to change your life, to lose your place in time. Contact, asleep or awake, Coming around you may wake up to find questions deep within your eyes, Things you never realized

Mathematics are the result of mysterious powers which no one understands, and which the unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part. Out of an infinity of designs a mathematician chooses one pattern for beauty's sake and pulls it down to earth.

You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself.

Unfortunately, the attitude of many towards the press, humanitarians included and especially government workers, is often one of suspicion, if not outright fear.

You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can't, you do the next best thing. You back up but you don't give up.

Travel provided many interesting experiences, but perhaps the most useful lesson I learned was that I really had no proficiency for learning the thousands of characters of the written Chinese language.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.

Hunger and fear are the only realities in dog life: an empty stomach makes a fierce dog.

Jealousy is never satisfied with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold of the heart.

When you're out of sight for as long as I was, there's a funny feeling of betrayal that comes over people when they see you again.

No one should have to choose between medicine and other necessities. No one should have to use the emergency room every time a child gets sick. And no one should have to live in constant fear that a medical problem will become a financial crisis.
