Mason Cooley

Path, Face, Lies

Some of us can be examples about going ahead and growing, and some of us, unfortunately, don't make it there, and end up being examples because they had to die. I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn't death.
Stevie Ray Vaughan

God, Death, Rock

Karl Lagerfeld

Future, Today, Care

Sophia Loren

Love, Sex, Face

Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for. This country is basically built on an attitude. It's a way of life. It's not because you're born here. It's not that you're supposed to take from those who have and give to those who haven't. That kills a country. It killed Russia.
Luke Scott

Life, Attitude, Give

Because we have so much eye candy and mind candy, spending so much time trying to pay the rent, all of this conspires to keep us from thinking too hard or taking action from that. Our time is stolen. So much of our daily life is stolen.
Lydia Lunch

Life, Time, Mind

Nonsense is so good only because common sense is so limited.
George Santayana

Good, Sense, Nonsense

And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It's fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it's not real. And it's totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can.
Tom Felton

Positive, Famous, Reality

Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed.
Irene Peter

Mean, Everything, Different

Mick Jagger

Selfish, Youth, Obsession

Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.
Joseph Story

Wise, Honest, Betray

Democracy, Sometimes, Dangerous

Everyone has a breaking point, turning point, stress point, the game is permeated with it. The fans don't see it because we make it look so efficient. But internally, for a guy to be successful, you have to be like a clock spring, wound but not loose at the same time.
Dave Winfield

Time, Successful, Stress

Life, Stress, Energy
