Harvey Fierstein quotes

Beware of anyone who says they know. Trust me, they don't, or they wouldn't have to say they did.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Queen Victoria quotes

I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists as it is very seductive and a little dangerous.

A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.

An ugly baby is a very nasty object - and the prettiest is frightful.

The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights'. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself.

When I think of a merry, happy, free young girl - and look at the ailing, aching state a young wife generally is doomed to - which you can't deny is the penalty of marriage.

Quote by Russell Long

Tax reform means, 'Don't tax you, don't tax me. Tax that fellow behind the tree.'

Janis Ian quotes

I've always been an avid reader. If I don't have a book in the car, I'll stop and pick one up just to have something to read. I don't even remember learning to read.

At the end of the day, all you can hope for is to go on. The older I get, the more I realize that just keeping on keeping on is what life's all about.

Once you're halfway home, you know that you can probably get the rest of the way there.

I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens, And high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired.

Going off the road just leaves me more time to be a writer.

Quotes by Ken Calvert

The measure would set criminal penalties, the same as those that would apply if harm or death happened to the pregnant woman, for those who harm a fetus.

The Child Custody Protection Act makes it a federal crime to transport a minor across state lines for the purpose of obtaining an abortion.

The bill would ban human cloning, and any attempts at human cloning, for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them.

In addition the bill would expand an existing law conscience clause that protects physician training programs that refuse to provide training for abortion procedures.

Casey Affleck quotes

I didn't have to audition. That's common, but it had never happened to me before. Normally, I hate auditioning. I need to stew and think... let the character develop and grow inside me.

I tricked myself into doing this movie.

When I like someone a lot, I get scared that I'll let them down. My fear of sucking is worst when I feel like someone thinks I'm good.

I moved out to LA, got an agent, started auditioning. I didn't know anything about how it worked. And since I was really bad, luckily, I didn't get any of those parts.

In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.
