Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.

My mother isolated herself from all family and friends for some 20 years. And never met her grandchild my son.

We do not always appreciate the role the Queen has played in one of the most significant changes in the past 60 years: the transformation of Britain into a multi-ethnic multi-faith society. No one does interfaith better than the Royal family and it starts with the Queen herself.

My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy because my mother kept a great deal to herself.

The work that must be done for each woman to reconnect with her psyche and to give herself a chance to live her own life is essentially the same. The realization of the equality of all races the equality of all beings is essential.

A fundamentalist can't bring himself or herself to negotiate with people who disagree with them because the negotiating process itself is an indication of implied equality.

As long as she is talented enough and passionate about doing it herself then I will be happy and support her. I think I will be sensible - my parents said I could only do it if I got my education and so I had something to fall back on.

Picking a best friend who stands up for what she believes in is true to herself and allows you to be yourself without judgement of how 'cool' you are? Well now you're picking a friend for life.

Sometimes the other characters are too normal and then you start to be brought back to reality but then Luna shows up and she is just so funny and cool and honest and slightly mad and she's all that matters. She is 100% true. She puts on no shows because she is so comfortable with herself.

I'm physically completely mal-coordinated. My best friend used to make me run for the bus just to give herself a quick cheap laugh because I definitely don't have that sophisticated cool thing down.

Someone who doesn't take herself too seriously and can be a goofball. Because everyone's a nerd inside I don't care how cool you are.

I like low-maintenance girls but at the same time classy. She needs to take care of herself. But also be a girl who isn't afraid to get sweaty and play basketball so it's cool if she's a tomboy.

When women break that taboo and they're not afraid to drive that car by herself - that's it. Now she has the guts to speak up for herself and take action.

I got a Valentine's Day card from my girl. It said 'Take my heart! Take my arms! Take my lips!' Which is just like her. Keeping the best part for herself.

If you're lucky enough to have a pretty girl love you and share herself and sleep with you make that your secret. The best way to spoil love is by talking to too many people about it.

I think every girl needs to love herself regardless of anything. Like if you're having a bad day if you don't like your hair if you don't have the best family situation whatever you have to love yourself and you can't do anything until you love yourself first.

A woman knows by intuition or instinct what is best for herself.

Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance.

Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated.

It took the Metropolitan Museum of Art nearly 50 years to wake up to Pablo Picasso. It didn't own one of his paintings until 1946 when Gertrude Stein bequeathed that indomitable quasi-Cubistic picture of herself - a portrait of the writer as a sumo Buddha - to the Met principally because she disliked the Museum of Modern Art.

My mom can't defend herself to the world. She is such an amazing woman with such an open heart. It's a real hard line and I crossed it. I took everyone's life story and assumed it would be a great thing to put on screen. I was being selfish and I feel so horrible about it. I feel so guilty.

I'm lucky that my real-life Mom has both a great sense of humor about herself and an amazing ability to slip into complete denial if the subject matter gets a little too close to home.

Another thing that's pathetic is this rule that you have to look ugly to get respect as an actress. Jessica Lange had to make herself look really bad to prove that she had amazing talent.

When you are a mother you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice once for herself and once for her child.
