God will never reject you. Whether you accept Him is your decision. ~Charles Stanley

Let me make it clear that I do not assert that a President and the Congress must on all points agree with each other at all times. Many times in history there has been complete disagreement between the two branches of the Government, and in these disagreements sometimes the Congress has won and sometimes the President has won. But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

I think that what went wrong with religion is the same thing that went wrong with politics. Is that it became too money based and too controlling. It is just a weakness that we human beings have for control, we want one thing and then we want more and then we want more. ~Dave Davies

"Alien" asked ground-breaking questions about eco-politics and female empowerment. "The Matrix" delved deeper into the concept of perception versus reality than perhaps any other film I know. But for some reason, we tend not to remember the significance of their writing. ~Jason Reitman

Yes, but I think if you look at it with a sort of gay sensibility and want everything to be positive about gay life, it could be interpreted as antigay. ~John Schlesinger

So, we just kind of created our own thing and that is part of the beauty of Athens; is that it is so off the map and there is no way you could ever be the East Village or an L.A. scene or a San Francisco scene, that it just became its own thing. ~Michael Stipe

If you watch the first [Star Wars] movie, you don't actually know exactly what the Empire is trying to do. They're going to rule by fear; but you don't know what their endgame is. You don't know what Leia is princess of. You don't yet understand who Jabba the Hutt is, even though there is a reference to him. You don't know that Vader is Luke's father, Leia is his sister; but the possibility is all there. The beauty of that movie was that it was an unfamiliar world, and yet you wanted to see it expand and to see where it went. ~J. J. Abrams
