There is an invisible garment woven around us from our earliest years; it is made of the way we eat, the way we walk, the way we greet people.

The secret of success is sincerity.

As soon as war is declared it will be impossible to hold the poets back. Rhyme is still the most effective drum.

There are no elements so diverse that they cannot be joined in the heart of a man.

A golf course is the epitome of all that is purely transitory in the universe; a space not to dwell in, but to get over as quickly as possible.

I have been a woman for fifty years, and I've never yet been able to discover precisely what it is I am.

The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.

Everyone, when there's war in the air, learns to live in a new element: falsehood.

When you see a woman who can go nowhere without a staff of admirers, it is not so much because they think she is beautiful, it is because she has told them they are handsome.

It's odd how people waiting for you stand out far less clearly than people you are waiting for.

There is no better way of exercising the imagination than the study of law. No poet ever interpreted nature as freely as a lawyer interprets the truth.

Faithful women are all alike, they think only of their fidelity, never of their husbands.

Education makes us more stupid than the brutes. A thousand voices call to us on every hand, but our ears are stopped with wisdom.

One of the privileges of the great is to witness catastrophes from a terrace.

Only the mediocre are always at their best.

Men should only believe half of what women say. But which half?

We all know here that the law is the most powerful of schools for the imagination. No poet ever interpreted nature as freely as a lawyer interprets the truth.

I'm not afraid of death. It's the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.

A man has only one way of being immortal on earth: he has to forget he is a mortal.

Those who weep recover more quickly than those who smile.

I tell you, sir, the only safeguard of order and discipline in the modern world is a standardized worker with interchangeable parts. That would solve the entire problem of management.

Ask any soldier. To kill a man is to merit a woman.

Men don't deceive their wives unless they love them. When they love them most, they deceive them. It's a form of fidelity, their deceit.

The brave men die in war. It takes great luck or judgment not to be killed. Once, at least, the head has to bow and the knee has to bend to danger. The soldiers who march back under the triumphal arches are death's deserters.

The older we women grow, the more clearly we see what men really are: hypocrites, boasters, he-goats. The older men grow, the more they doll us up with every perfection.

The theatre is like a Catholic Mass of language.

There are no great people. There are only great topics.

Im not afraid of death. Its the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.

Falsehood is the jockey of misfortune.

Sadness flies on the wings of the morning and out of the heart of darkness comes the light.

Death holds no horrors. It is simply the ultimate horror of life.

Destiny is simply the relentless logic of each day we live.

A man's name, title, and rank are artificial and impermanent; they do nothing to reveal what he really is, even to himself.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.
