The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life ourselves and the world around us.
There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about and that is not being talked about.
The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.
We got a little waylaid along the way. The whole problem started about 10 years ago with management and legal battles then still trying to make albums while I was doing all of that.
On behalf of NARAL Pro-Choice America - and our one million member activists - I am honored to be here to talk to you about what's at stake for women in 2012. I am proud to say that the Democratic Party believes that women have the right to choose a safe legal abortion with dignity and privacy.
We should not blur the lines between legal and illegal immigrants. Millions of people around the world have gone through the process to come here legally and they followed the rules that required them to pay a fee learn English and learn about American history and government.
To play a lawyer and have one year of law school under your belt you sort of know what you're talking about! I'm able to memorize the legal courtroom stuff a lot faster than I would have been able to otherwise.
What I'm doing is writing stories about women who care about justice. They are women who think about the difference between right and wrong what's legal and illegal ethical and unethical moral and immoral.
Truly I never thought of myself as writing legal thrillers and I still don't think I do. I write stories about women.
So my own suspicion is that the attorney has stopped this prosecution because part of her defence was to question legality and that would have brought his advice into the public domain again and there was something fishy about the way in which he said war was legal.
Today the people from my State of Tennessee would listen to this debate or even talk about a reference to God on our money or in the Halls of Congress or in our Pledge and say please let common sense and logic win the day and prevail versus legal mumbo jumbo.
The effort to blur the lines between Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib reflects a deep misunderstanding about the different legal regimes that apply to Iraq and the war against al Qaeda.
Even in the beginning when we knew there was a legal argument about how much our song sounds like his song as one songwriter to another I wasn't sure that Cat Stevens would take that as bad.
Words without deeds violates the moral and legal obligation we have under the genocide convention but more importantly violates our sense of right and wrong and the standards we have as human beings about looking to care for one another.
And they didn't have to get into a lot of legal speak or talk ER terms they were real people. I think that's why so many actresses were attracted to it. And it was just about problems that you could identify with so much right off the bat.
I've been working at performing for five years now. I've been working in Australia and Spain and England. When I was only 15 or 16 1 was performing in bars I could have had legal problems but it's also the only way to get to know what music is all about.
In high school I discovered myself. I was interested in race relations and the legal profession. I read about Lincoln and that he believed the law to be the most difficult of professions.
I don't even talk about whether or not racial profiling is legal. I just don't think racial profiling is a particularly good law enforcement tool.
One thing I was thinking about is that they probably get their come-uppance about the same percentage that people in real life do. Basically stealing for all practical purposes might as well be legal in New York.
We get information in the mail the regular postal mail encrypted or not vet it like a regular news organization format it - which is sometimes something that's quite hard to do when you're talking about giant databases of information - release it to the public and then defend ourselves against the inevitable legal and political attacks.
