"That boy's head is like Sputnik.  Spherical, but quite pointy at parts."

A line from one of the funniest films ever, "So I Married an Axe Murderer"  Just in a funny mood I guess!

My favorite celebrity quote is from Paul Newman.  When asked if he had ever cheated on Joanne Woodward he said...

"Why would I go out for hamburger when I have steak at home?"

"The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in the time of great moral crisis maintain their neutrality." - Dante

and one more

 
"When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."  Audre Lourde
 

"Be So Good, They Cant Ignore You"

Flitzy

And another....

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that frightens us.
~Marianne Williamson

Oh I just love quotes!! Got really excited when I saw the post. I really would like you to read this though. Maya Angelou speaks here at her 70th birthday

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and
it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way
he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when
they're gone from your life.
I've learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life.’
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands;
you need to be able to throw some things back.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone - people love a warm hug,
or just a friendly pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel."

[George Bush] has raised taxes on the people driving pickup trucks and lowered taxes on the people riding in limousines. We can do better.

Bill Clinton - Democratic National Convention, July 16, 1992 

Thanks Bremax for adding this very interesting and inspiring woman's name and offering another quote by her.

 "Not to have adversity would be so dull, so grey, so boring. To not have tested yourself wouldn't be an interesting life."
                                                  Dr. Jerri Nielsen

I agree, JoCindy, and offer another quote of hers, above.

I have one....

"It is my duty to never let the fear of my condition become real and in doing so, I heal myself". 

This was said by the woman physician who was stationed in the research station in Antartica.  She was to be the Dr for all of those also there.  After a while she found out that she had breast cancer.  They did an emergency evac to bring he back to the states.  SHe writes in her book that she kept saying this to herself in order not to panic prior to being able to reach the treatment that she needed.  I am sorry that I am unable to remember her name.

Twice I have used this 'mantra" at a time when I was awaiting results of tests I needed and it always calmed me down. 

I think that this person would also qualify as a woman that I admire.

Well it seems we are alone here Brewmax. Thought I'd add another relative to my very favourite "souls". For those of us who wonder about what value the annual Iditerod race has to our canine friends.

"Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow."
