Growing up in Wales was a pretty Draconian experience with religion.

The women's movement will present a growing threat to patriarchal religion less by attacking it than by simply leaving it behind.

There was no religion in my life growing up. Did God invent us or did we invent God?

In the past I would self destruct when it came to love - I was immature throwing myself into things but now times have changed I want a relationship where you understand the other person.

When I was growing up we used to play basketball in a park that was never shoveled when it snowed. The basketball rims were never fixed. And we understood then that there was a relationship between public policy and our quality of life.

I finally did work out a very good relationship with my father but it was rough growing up. We had a lot of conflict and I think it surfaced in many of my works.

I don't remember any sibling rivalry growing up because by the time I was really conscious Tom was going away to college. My relationship with him which is a very close one really developed in more recent years.

I lived to play basketball. Growing up as a kid Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics were my favorite team. The way they played the teamwork the sacrifice the commitment the joy the camaraderie the relationship with the fans.

I took solace in my relationship with God who along with my dog was my best friend growing up.

Among the letters my readers write me there is a certain category which is continuously growing and which I see as a symptom of the increasing intellectualization of the relationship between readers and literature.

A lot of Hollywood couples get married young and wind up growing out of their relationship.

I love my parents. Coming out to them was sort of coming out to myself. I educated them and I wanted our relationship to keep growing. I wanted them to be a part of my life still. I wanted to be able to share with them what I was going through.

Censorship is saying: 'I'm the one who says the last sentence. Whatever you say the conclusion is mine.' But the internet is like a tree that is growing. The people will always have the last word - even if someone has a very weak quiet voice. Such power will collapse because of a whisper.

When you're growing up it's always nice to have someone you can relate and look up to. I'm proud of how I conduct my business and how I have accomplished all that I have accomplished and hope that I can be a positive influence on not only the Mexican community but also young boxers and people all around the world.

We have been blessed with a healthy growing economy with more Americans going back to work and with our Nation acting as a positive force for good in the world.

I think positive. I always think we're going to score. Two minutes is a lot of time if you have timeouts and you're throwing every down. You have to make the right decisions. I've always had great receivers which helps. It's not just me doing it.

I had a really bad temper when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.

I have this pet thing about how global communications are moving so fast now throwing information at you making everything available to you and yet I feel it's leaving us more and more isolated.

If our nation goes over a financial Niagara we won't have much strength and eventually we won't have peace. We are currently borrowing the entire defense budget from foreign investors. Within a few years we will be spending more on interest payments than on national security. That is not as our military friends say a 'robust strategy.'

I had daydreams and fantasies when I was growing up. I always wanted to live in a log cabin at the foot of a mountain. I would ride my horse to town and pick up provisions. Then return to the cabin with a big open fire a record player and peace.

Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on his own dunghill.

My grandmother was a kind of Scarsdale New York society woman best known in her day as the author of the 1959 book 'Growing Your Own Way: An Informal Guide for Teen-Agers' - this despite being a person whose parenting style made Joan Crawford's wire hangers look like pool noodles.

I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up.
