Pastoral Resources

I like intelligent women. When you go out, it shouldn't be a staring contest.

At the moment you are no longer an observing, reflecting being; you have ceased to be aware of yourself; you exist only in that quiet, steady thrill that is so unlike any excitement that you have ever known.

Burning desire to be or do something gives us staying power - a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start in again after a disappointment.

All the arguments to prove man's superiority cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering the animals are our equals.

The analysis of character is the highest human entertainment.

Nobody should be allowed to tinker with democracy. We will not discontinue the good works of the past government.

We are a coalition government, and that limits our options in some ways. Privatization happens to be one such area.

Unity and secularism will be the motto of the government. We can't afford divisive polity in India.

The freshest moments in my films have always been with unknown actors.

It was trying to break down the stereotypes and it was the kind of thing where, for the first time, women were on a par and not seen as just objects. Though girls were objectified still.

The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun.

I wish the government would put a tax on pianos for the incompetent.

There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.

Go beyond science, into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived both inwardly and outwardly.

I harbored a lot of resentment as a teenager and as a young adult. I still have a problem with authority, I'm trying to listen!

In fact, because of their connection to the land, farmers do more to protect and preserve our environment than almost anyone else. They are some of the best environmentalists around.

Modern medical advances have helped millions of people live longer, healthier lives. We owe these improvements to decades of investment in medical research.

That the Iraqi Government is considering a political deal granting amnesty to insurgents who have attacked or killed American service members is not just shocking - the idea of amnesty for insurgents is an outrage.

The Government of Iraq also owes a debt to the American and coalition forces who are fighting the insurgency and helping put that country back together after decades of repression.

The insurgents are Baathists and Sunnis in Iraq who have as their goal a separate and distinct one of toppling the government that is there and creating their own.
