Alone! Alone! No beacon, far or near! No chart, no compass, and no anchor stay!

Let Justice, blind and halt and maimed, chastise the rebel spirit surging in my veins, let the Law deal me penalties and pains And make me hideous in my neighbours' eyes.

Have all the hopes of ages come to naught? Is life no more with noble meaning fraught?

O what is life, if we must hold it thus as wind-blown sparks hold momentary fire?

Alone! Alone! No beacon, far or near! No chart, no compass, and no anchor stay!

Poverty is an anomaly to rich people; it is very difficult to make out why people who want dinner do not ring the

I'm blessed. I have a 13-year-old girl's eye and a 14 year-old boy's eye. I've been given the gift of sight by people who decided to donate organs. I try to do as much organ-donor work as I can.

The world would be a duller place without Moulin Rouge.

What's important is Welsh football and that it progresses.

And I don't like to work. I only like working when I'm working.

Isaac Singer always wrote in Yiddish. He was so unsure of his English at the beginning that he was easy to edit and he learned fast.

There's a lot of focus on kids like Macaulay Culkin or others who had bad situations at some point in their careers and not enough focus on the people who do good like Natalie Portman or Claire Danes. It's hard for children to have these full-time jobs with all this responsibility.

I don't think we've asked the right questions, the tough questions, at the right time, in Washington.

I truly am living out what true joy and happiness means.

The government shouldn't step in at the first stage and create land banks. Industry should buy the land as much as they can, and if they get stuck, then the government should step in.

I never get used to going out and seeing 20, 30,000 people that are there to see us play. It's kind of surreal.

Mr. Wrigley believed in this: Put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket. They don't do that today. This is the old-fashioned way I'm talking about. He carried it on to his business. Do one thing and stay with it.

Have no age, transcend both past and future, and enter into the eternal present.

I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life.

What I went through in 1976, it's the same today: It's about all the pressure that you feel, the anxiety, the family, and everything that surrounds the Games, and then getting there knowing this is your big chance, and you're able to come through. It's such a satisfying thing.

My sister is a big part of my actual style. Our style is not similar whatsoever, but she helped me find myself and find what I really liked.

I think it'd be useful for parents to know kind of what is the culture of an institution.

The kid who throws his spaghetti from the high chair onto his father's face, he's pushing back. He's sticking it to the man as he sees it. I like that. So that is punk.

I'm very spiritual. I meditate every day. I don't know if that's surprising or not, but I've been doing that since I was 16 every day, so that's like kind of my thing. I'm really a hippie-chick at heart.

I'm a big believer in bibliotherapy. Books have the power to change lives: what we think and what we do.

My mother was a reader; my father was a reader. Not anything particularly sophisticated. My mother read fat historical or romantic novels; my father liked to read Westerns, Zane Grey, that kind of stuff. Whatever they brought in, I read.

Before the Kennedys were elected, there had been older Presidents. Then here was this devastatingly attractive young couple with two beautiful children. They were so intelligent, graceful, gracious and funny. They enjoyed life so much. That's what caught America's eye.

They called Bill Parcells 'conservative' when he was winning two Super Bowls.

Can we live without Russian gas in Europe? The answer is no. Are there any reasons to live without it? I think - and I'm not defending the interests of Total in Russia - it is a no.
