Haruki Murakami

Two-thirds of the Iranian people would like to be reconciled with the West. They don't like the fanaticism of the governing religious council. It's the only place in the world where the last six elections have been won by the more progressive candidate, two for president, two for the mayors, two for the parliament.

They see it as a status symbol, and a sense of their own security.

William J. Clinton

After all, there is nothing but time.

Gloria Naylor

Emma Watson

Henry Miller

The whole first two-thirds of the I Just Can't Stop Loving You song is just he and I. He's singing lead and I'm doing all the harmonies and we're both singing all the background. We're singing all the choruses until the choir comes in. We were the first two-thirds of the song.

Siedah Garrett
