In a recent Valentine's Day posting on her fan website Britney Spears says that - oh who cares?

Strange to see how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody.

If you want an interesting party sometime combine cocktails and a fresh box of crayons for everyone.

This is a work of fiction. All the characters in it human and otherwise are imaginary excepting only certain of the fairy folk whom it might be unwise to offend by casting doubts on their existence. Or lack thereof.

I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work I really wanted more than anything else to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.

A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.

I simply do not distinguish between work and play.

A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.

I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are.

I continue to believe contrary to the given wisdom that it's more interesting to have an album - or indeed an individual song - which has variety rather than homogeneity.

However I must not indulge in homespun wisdom here before so distinguished an assembly especially as I am to be followed by a representative of science.

Wise kings generally have wise counselors and he must be a wise man himself who is capable of distinguishing one.

Wedding: the point at which a man stops toasting a woman and begins roasting her.

I couldn't be happier that President Bush has stood up for having served in the National Guard because I can finally put an end to all those who questioned my motives for enlisting in the Army Reserve at the height of the Vietnam War.

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

In order to create lasting security you must learn to stand in your truth.

I want to be distinguished from the rest to tell the truth a friend to all mankind is not a friend for me.

What is truth? said jesting Pilate and would not stay for an answer.

The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature to those who really like to study people is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself.
