If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

I asked for strength, and god gave me difficulties to make me strong. i asked for wisdom, and god gave me problems to learn to solve. i asked for prosperity, and god gave me a brain and brawn to work. i asked for courage, and god gave me dangers to overcome. i asked for love, and god gave me people to help. i asked for favors, and god gave me opportunities. i received nothing i wanted. i received everything i needed.

Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to talk, think and act for myself — and i will obey every law or submit to the penalty.

I'm a tomboy beanpole? i can't use a computer, so maybe i'm a bit out of the loop. i don't know whether to be flattered or not flattered. the beanpole bit, is that good? can you be a sexy beanpole?

Everyone talks about freedom. all around the world different people, different races, different countries are fighting for freedom. but what is freedom? in america we speak of living in a free country. but are we really free? are we free to be who we really are? the answer is no, we are not free. true freedom has to do with the human spirit-it is freedom to be who we really are. who stops us from being free? we blame the government, we blame the weather, we blame our parents, we blame religion, we blame god. who really stops us from being free? we stop ourselves.

Harry's status as orphan gives him a freedom other children can only dream about (guiltily, of course). no child wants to lose their parents, yet the idea of being removed from the expectations of parents is alluring. the orphan in literature is freed from the obligation to satisfy his/her parents, and from the inevitable realization that his/her parents are flawed human beings. there is something liberating, too, about being transported into the kind of surrogate family which boarding school represents, where the relationships are less intense and the boundaries perhaps more clearly defined.

You start out with big dreams and i mean, big dreams artistically. you want to work with the greatest living directors, make a great movie. i wanted to make a great love story, i wanted to make a great epic and then you realize that the truth of it is that it's so hard to make a great film. it's hard to get a great role. those big expectations change to realism pretty quickly. but what's never changed is my desire to work with great directors and to find projects that push me out of my comfort zone and keep me alive. i still don't think i've done my best work

Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.

Once learnt, this business of cooking was to prove an ever growing burden. it scarcely bears thinking about, the time and labour that man and womankind has devoted to the preparation of dishes that are to melt and vanish in a moment like smoke or a dream, like a shadow, and as a post that hastes by, and the air closes behind them, afterwards no sign where they went is to be found.

God wills, man dreams, the work is born.
