...But...to sing, to dream, to smile, to walk, to be alone, be free, with a voice that stirs and an eye that still can see! To cock your hat to one side, when you please at a yes, a no, to fight, or- make poetry! To work without a thought of fame or ...
[W]hat possible purpose does this lashing-out serve? Will activists be shamed into recovering their previous enthusiasm? Will Republicans stop their vicious attacks because Obama is lashing out to his left? It was pure self-indulgence; even if he fee...

You're sad because you're sad. It's psychic. It's the age. It's chemical. Go see a shrink or take a pill, or hug your sadness like an eyeless doll you need to sleep. Well, all children are sad but some get over it. Count your blessings. Better than t...

Es gibt keinen Platz für Hoffnungslosigkeit. Der Kampf geht weiter. Diese Welt war niemals dafür gedacht, um das Paradies zu sein. Gott hat die Welt erschaffen, damit du durch sie zu Gott finden mögest. Wenn du an Gott glaubst, dann wirst du für ...
As I look out at you all gathered here I want to say that I don't see a room full of Parisians in top hats and diamonds and silk dresses. I don't see bankers and housewives and store clerks. No. I address you all tonight as you truly are: wizards, me...

Biff Tannen: Where is he? CPR Kid: Who? Biff Tannen: Calvin Klein. CPR Kid: Who? Biff Tannen: The guy with the hat. Where is he? CPR Kid: Oh he went that way. I think he took your wallet! [to bystander] CPR Kid: I think he took his wallet.
