Sandra Day O'Connor

Justice, Woman, Joy

What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it.
Norah Jones

Music, Time, Two

Winning isn't everything, but it beats anything in second place.
William C. Bryant

Stephen Harper

Guessing, Publicly

Every day, three times per second, we produce the equivalent of the amount of data that the Library of Congress has in its entire print collection, right? But most of it is like cat videos on YouTube or 13-year-olds exchanging text messages about the next Twilight movie.
Nate Silver

Times, Three, Next

I'm so excited. I love Peeta so much. I think that over the course of the next couple of books, he has so many interesting places to go to, character-wise. I'm ready to dive full-force into it.

Josh Hutcherson

Love, Next, Actually

After, Wonderful, Easy

I know I'm not a self-indulgent idiot; I also know I'm not the second coming of Deepak Chopra. If I had believed either of those, or both, as some people do when they get famous, that's when the mental illness arrives.
Elizabeth Gilbert

Famous, Idiot, Both

As somebody who, in my second marriage, insisted on a prenuptial agreement, I can also testify that sometimes it is an act of love to chart the exit strategy before you enter the union, in order to make sure that not only you, but your partner as well, knows that there will be no World War III should hearts and minds, for any sad reason, change.
Elizabeth Gilbert

Love, Change, Marriage

Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things he's got it all.
James Brown

Two, Hair, Teeth

James Buchan

War, Violence, Far

On second thought, I think I am more crazy than my goat.
Remedios Varo

Willie Tyler

Time, Same, Place

Lech Walesa

Democracy, Made, Enough

Let's create a regime that makes sale of bullets to anybody not licensed to carry a gun illegal, makes resale illegal, micro-stamps bullets so they can be traced. No Second Amendment issues here. This would have a remarkable impact on both violence and the capacity to solve shooting crimes.
Eliot Spitzer

Here, Violence, Makes

When that second airplane hit the building, we all changed. We need to get back to some serious thinking.
Steven Tyler

Thinking, Serious, Hit

Lauren Bacall

Marriage, Good, Career

Carrie Underwood

Home, Far, Dangerous

Families, particularly, tend to be the ones that you take the most for granted. They seem to slip under the radar, all those important things - it almost becomes second nature to do so.
Adam Garcia

Nature, Important, Almost

The story of Jesus makes no sense to me. God sent his only son. Why could God only have one son and why would he have to die? It's just bad writing, really. And it's really terrible in about the second act.
Trey Parker

God, Bad, Writing

Pierre de Fermat

Power, Two, Impossible
