It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning.

I am convinced that it is not the fear of death of our lives ending that haunts our sleep so much as the fear... that as far as the world is concerned we might as well never have lived.

Some movie stars wear their sunglasses even in church. They're afraid God might recognize them and ask for autographs.

I'm famous today. People like me today. Might not like me tomorrow. You can't count on it.

Among famous traitors of history one might mention the weather.

Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I'd think about all my heroes Charlie Parker Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous.

If I'm diagnosed with cancer I might become despondent but someone young might not and they might need connections with somebody outside their circle of family because their family is so despondent.

My encounters with racism are sort of second-hand situations where I might be standing around with a group of white friends and someone makes a comment that they wouldn't make at my family reunion.

You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it.

I have a great family by the way but you need to find people who can pull something out from you that might be otherwise unseen.
