Let me assure you that my intent is not to offend or merely be provocative. I'm simply worried.

The problem with religion, because it's been sheltered from criticism, is that it allows people to believe en masse what only idiots or lunatics could believe in isolation.

Either God can do nothing to stop catastrophes like this, or he doesn't care to, or he doesn't exist. God is either impotent, evil, or imaginary. Take your pick, and choose wisely.

A puppet is free as long as he loves his strings.

We have a choice. We have two options as human beings. We have a choice between conversation and war. That's it. Conversation and violence. And faith is a conversation stopper.

How we pay attention to the present moment...determin es the character of our experience and...the quality of our lives.

You can do what you decide to do — but you cannot decide what you will decide to do.

How can we be “free” as conscious agents if everything that we consciously intend is caused by events in our brain that we do not intend and of which we are entirely unaware? We can’t.

You don't get anything worth getting, by pretending to know things you don't know.

Jesus Christ—who, as it turns out, was born of a virgin, cheated death, and rose bodily into the heavens—can now be eaten in the form of a cracker

With the wings of imagination, don't be afraid to fly.

Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love.

It was an amazing adventure, it was my dream to be in an American musical... I really hope you are going to love what you are going to see.

You may give give a man office, but you cannot give him discretion

Earthquakes would be great if they could hit specific areas, like the parent lounge at a children's beauty pageant.

Around the property I have here, I'm about to put an all weather race track. I'm about to build stables. I'm about to ship over a couple of my thoroughbreds from England.

We don't seek empires.We're not imperialistic.

Although tyranny...may successfully rule over foreign peoples, it can stay in power only if it destroys first of all the national institutions of its own people.

Since I started in motor racing I've worked with people from all over the world. We are all here to go racing and prejudice will never play any part in that.

A lot of people tend to chew up the scenery. I'm a firm believer in less is more, especially on the big screen.
