Two messengers covered with dust come to bid me fly, but I wait for him.

Disaffection stalks around us.

And now, dear sister, I must leave this house or the retreating army will make me a prisoner in it by filling up the road I am directed to take.

It is one of my sources of happiness never to desire a knowledge of other people's business.

Our private property must be sacrificed.

Two messengers covered with dust come to bid me fly, but I wait for him.

I am accordingly ready; I have pressed as many Cabinet papers into trunks as to fill one carriage; our private property must be sacrificed, as it is impossible to procure wagons for its transportation.

At this late hour a wagon has been procured, and I have had it filled with plate and the most valuable portable articles, belonging to the house.

It is done... the precious portrait placed in the hands of the gentlemen for safe keeping.

When I shall again write to you, or where I shall be tomorrow, I cannot tell.

I love you, you were there for me, you protected me, and most of all, you loved me. We'd fight, scream, and argue, but, under it all, is a love. That only exists, in a brother, and a sister.

I've done truth to power all my life. It's got me into trouble, but who cares?

This used to be a government of checks and balances. Now it's all checks and no balances.

Real Texans don't want any woman to die of cancer because she can't get decent health care or medical advice. Real Texans don't want any woman to lose control of her life because she can't get birth control.

I believe that Clinton is the most wicked and vile President that this nation has ever had.

The drama may be called that part of theatrical art which lends itself most readily to intellectual discussion: what is left is theater.

If you were born really ugly like me, have no fear. There's steps you can take to be good-looking. Kind of.

I bounce off four walls, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because I only sleep those four hours a day.

Golf is like solitaire. When you cheat, you only cheat yourself.

So lovely was the loneliness of a wild lake.

Christians need to take the lead in educating people that children are gifts, as my autistic grandson most surely is. By going down the path we're currently on, we might one day get rid of genetic diseases, but only at the cost of our own humanity.

When I lost my friends, it was because I had used the power of giving on them recklessly. I swept into their lives with my big fat checkbook, and I erased years of obstacles for them overnight - but sometimes, in the process, I also accidentally erased years of dignity.

What's great about working with EPIX is that we have unparalleled access to the top movie talent and do exclusive 1:1 sit-down interviews with the actors, sometimes before anyone else does. With 'The Hunger Games,' we had our own studio set up and did 1:1s with Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Lenny Kravitz, etc.

When you grow up in the city, New York is so big that you can kind of stay in your own little corner of the city and think that that's it because you don't need anything. You don't have to venture out; you don't have to touch the boroughs. You can kind of stay in your neighborhood, and there's everything there.

I ate a whole 20-inch pizza by myself one time.

I can't imagine people telling me what to do - I just can't imagine it.

I think Americans like the practical; they like the human. And I like both those things myself, and I try and put them into my books.

I am so used to seeing the sort of play which deals with one man and two women. They do not leave me with the feeling I have made a full theatrical meal they do not give me the experience of the multiplicity of life.

For me, the great thing about music is that anybody can do it.

That's what I like about Neil Jordan's films: everyone is better at what they do than you are.

One gains a double benefit in writing about the past, conjuring up how things might have been, and at the same time acquiring a different perspective on the present.

I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning.

My only hope to receive love is to let you see who I am, then I may believe you.

I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason every hope and every dream Ive ever had and no matter what happens to us in the future everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours.
