Besides, just the fact that the man had been in the process of robbing the store and had trained his weapon on a police officer, it wouldn't lend much credence to his testimony in front of a jury.

Think about it: How can you understand 'it' if you haven't made any effort to understand 'you'?

I knew it was up to me. — John Digweed

An actor can do a play on Broadway for three years. Every night he's expressing the same emotion in exactly the same way.

"I guess the only people drinking fifteen minutes before a flight are the pilots. — Billy Crystal

-Judge Dredd — John Wagner

The word criminal is more an emotional than legal term. Go to any U.S. post office and view the faces on the wanted posters.

But — James Lee Burke

European fascism changed comedy in America. Jack Benny explained, 'During World War II, attitudes changed. Hitler's ideology of Aryan supremacy put all ethnic humor in a bad light. When the black man's fight for equal rights and fair play became an issue after the War, I would no longer allow Rochester to say or do anything that an audience would consider degrading.'

In her case, biology helped: perfect oval face, cute cleft in her chin, widely spaced blue eyes with enormous irises that would make her appear appealingly confused when she was anything but. All of that crowned by a creamy sweep of wavy hair - brunette at nineteen, blond at twenty-nine. They say eyes are the true mirrors to the soul but Deandra Demarest's eyes — Jonathan Kellerman

Just as much as it is about booking flights, sharing hostel rooms with strangers, and learning to say hello in a variety of languages; travel is about the momentarily times of breakdowns, longing of all the great things back home, and the tears you hold back from each good-bye, which in the entirety, makes up the honest human experience of living. — Forrest Curran
