Michael Crawford

I think one of the best words in the English language is 'compassion.' I think it holds everything. It holds love, it holds care... and if everybody just did something. We all make a difference.

Judah Smith

For future politics, I don't know what it holds, but if there's a possibility that the people want me to do another political office, again, maybe I'll do it.

Vance McAllister

Rash, inexperienced youth holds itself a chosen instrument, and allows itself unbounded license.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It's not like I have anything against it, I just chose the kind of films that appeal to me, and mindless entertainers don't often appeal to me.

Konkona Sen Sharma

I'm not saying that being gay is what defines me, but at the same time, if you feel like you have to hide it, then it becomes what defines you. You keep it hidden, and the secret becomes you.

Alan Ball
