James Buchan

Nature, Government, Science

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that seems more important than something designed to raise money to keep something going that keeps IV drug users from dying.
Elliott Smith

Money, Important, Keep

It seems to be a law in American life that whatever enriches us anywhere except in the wallet inevitably becomes uneconomic.

James Hillman

Path, Call, Later

Taryn Manning

Life, Respect, Angry

Edward Young

Live, Strange, Less

The work is the most fun; it seems illicit how much fun it is.
Meryl Streep

There are movies that require fantasy and slightly more fantastical acting. Lines that are good for certain movies, in real life circumstances, would be absolutely unbelievable things to really say, and you would look at these people like they're freaks for conversing that way. But somehow for certain styles of movies, it works, and it seems fine.
Christian Bale

Life, Good, Movies

John Jay Chapman

Age, Single, Lie

To me, its seems necessary to rediscover - and the energy to do so exists - that even the political and economic spheres need moral responsibility, a responsibility that is born in man's heart and, in the end, has to do with the presence or absence of God.
Joseph Ratzinger

God, Heart, End

Here, Whole, Insult
