~ Les Claypool
My countrymen, I have given proofs that I am one most anxious for liberties for our country, and I am still desirous of them.

~ Juliette Binoche
I have a pickup truck. And I prefer to be with dogs or on my sailboat than in a car - actually, more than any other place on Earth.
~ Gary Paulsen
No one is the same, and we all have different life experiences. It's not my place to judge them or for them to judge me. We should all be accountable for our own lives.
~ Joanna Krupa
I'm always trying to reach a transcendent point, a romantic point, but reach it in a really unconventional way, a really profane way. To get to that romantic, touching, heartbreaking place, but through a lot of acts of profanity.
~ Chuck Palahniuk
There are many aspects to directing that have a romantic place in people's minds.
~ Adam Mckay

When you act, you've got to be like a poet or a musician. It's not about evidence before court. It's not a forensic subject. It's poetry; it's a completely different place.
~ Rhys Ifans
Poetry takes place in time. It is a durational. Things take place in sequence.
~ Edward Hirsch
Society's dark hull drifts further and further away. It is this place - the place of our separation, our distinction - that much of his poetry occupies.

For humans, the Arctic is a harshly inhospitable place, but the conditions there are precisely what polar bears require to survive - and thrive. 'Harsh' to us is 'home' for them. Take away the ice and snow, increase the temperature by even a little, and the realm that makes their lives possible literally melts away.
~ Sylvia Earle
