#quotes #robert-scheer #clinton #politics #government

I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch

#quotes #jeffrey-pierce #movies

The representational-image urge is actually a kind of heightened perception, and I don't stop to think. I don't freeze up, it's actually a kind of letting-go. It's like dancing. At a certain point it's conscious, unconscious, everything is kind of coming together. ~Michael Light

#quotes #dick-cheney #liberty

I only discovered the "Harry Potter" series in my tenth standard. I dived right into it, often reading non-stop through the day and night. It was the morning after one such readathon when I was to appear for a chemistry exam. Spending my night with the third edition of "Harry Potter" didn't help much, and I fared poorly. ~Sonam Kapoor
