Animals are the best actors. They never lie, they're always present, and they listen. That's a lot more than a lot of actors can say for themselves. ~Graham Phillips

The debate over same sex "marriage" has engaged the heartfelt feelings and convictions of millions of Americans. ~Elliott Abrams
#quotes #elliott-abrams #same-gender-marriage

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. ~William Arthur Ward

I mean, sometimes, a comedian becomes an actor, and they just don't deliver, because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny, and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful, and they get that mixed up sometimes, or don't even notice that that's the thing. ~Eddie Izzard

Most modern Indians don't stick to their caste jobs any more. There is more inter-caste marriage, more fluidity, more freedom than ever before.

When we were all kids, there was one particular trailer that I think we can all remember. That was the trailer for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." There was an amazing teaser trailer with all this weird kind of documentary footage. We were like, "What was that! I've got to see that! What the hell was that?" ~Matt Reeves

If the stock goes down we want to buy more. ~Walter Schloss
#quotes #walter-schloss #investing

I don't mean to imply that we are in imminent danger of being wiped off the face of the earth; at least, not on account of global warming. But climate change does confront us with profound new realities. We face these new realities as a nation, as members of the world community, as consumers, as producers, and as investors. And unless we do a better job of adjusting to these new realities, we will pay a heavy price. We may not suffer the fate of the dinosaurs. But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation. ~Eileen Claussen
