Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men.

When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection.

All those who offer an opinion on any doubtful point should first clear their minds of every sentiment of dislike friendship anger or pity.

I've also long since realized that the way to really engage children is to give out prizes it's amazing how it concentrates their minds.

I know that books I have written will still resonate in 50 years - particularly 'My Sister's Keeper.' It has sold three million copies in the States alone. I strongly feel that as a novelist you have a platform and the ability to change people's minds.

I may be alone in this but I do sense the power of film in that movies have the ability to literally change people's minds. That's pretty powerful stuff when you consider that.

As human beings we need to know that we are not alone that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds that there are other people out there who feel as we do live as we do love as we do who are like us.

I started out modeling at a young age and surrounded myself with different brilliant minds. I have so many people to get educated from and I've been a sponge.

Your body actually reminds you about your age and your injuries - the body has a stronger memory than your mind.

To separate children from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.
