There is no enemy can hurt us but by our own hands. satan could not hurt us, if our own corruption betrayed us not. afflictions cannot hurt us without our own impatience. temptations cannot hurt us, without our own yieldance. death could not hurt us, without the sting of our own sins. sins could not hurt us, without our own impenitence.

I know that dad was an idol to millions who grew up loving his music and his ideals. but to me he wasn't a musician or a peace icon, he was the father i loved and who let me down in so many ways. after the age of five, when my parents separated, i saw him only a handful of times, and when i did he was often remote and intimidating. i grew up longing for more contact with him but felt rejected and unimportant in his life. ... ... while dad was fast becoming one of the wealthiest men in his field, mum and i had very little and she was going out to work to support us.

There's a lot of debate on this subject - about what kind of car handles best. some say a a front-engined car, some say a rear-engined car. i say a rented car. nothing handles better than a rented car. you can go faster, turn corners sharper, and put the transmission into reverse while going forward at a higher rate of speed in a rented car than in any other kind.

The shower is my time to open up my operatic chops, because of the enormous echo. you sound five times as big in the shower, so i break into some "nessun dorma" from puccini 's turandot or pearl jam. you've got to go big when you're in the shower. there's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.

I looked at other couples and wondered how they could be so calm about it. they held hands as if they weren't even holding hands. when steve and i held hands, i had to keep looking down to marvel at it. there was my hand, the same hand i've always had - oh, but look! what is it holding? it's holding steve's hand! who is steve? my three-dimensional boyfriend. each day i wondered what would happen next. what happens when you stop wanting, when you are happy. i supposed i would go on being happy forever. i knew i would not mess things up by growing bored. i had done that once before.

Well people love to go dirty and stuff like that. it's funny, because even really dirty things can kind of inspire, but all things inspire really dirty improv and monologues. so then really dirty things can inspire the exact opposite. it's kind of a crapshoot.

All of the economic signals in the marketplace are essentially subsidizing the use of dirty fossil fuels and penalizing clean energy. there's really only one entity in society that can solve that problem, and that is government. and the air is a scarce resource.

Peace of mind just can't be bought. trust me: even if your conscience doesn't stop you from playing dirty to get what you want, once you get it, it will keep you from enjoying it. as my mother used to say, "a good conscience is god's eye." which is why i always prefer a loss to an underhanded gain; the one brings pain at the moment, the other for all time.

I had the notion that i wanted to write the great dirty american novel, so i went to roanoke college on the gi bill.

You can put this another way by saying that while in other sciences the instruments you use are things external to yourself (things like microscopes and telescopes), the instrument through which you see god is your whole self. and if a man's self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of god will be blurred - like the moon seen through a dirty telescope. that is why horrible nations have horrible religions: they have been looking at god through a dirty lens.
