I had to try and find a way to express happiness without sounding corny.

Those in the west who dismiss the repressiveness of laws against women in countries like Iran no matter how benign their intentions present a condescending view not just of the religion but also of women living in Muslim majority countries as if the desire for choice and happiness is the monopoly of women in the west.

It is the personality of the mistress that the home expresses. Men are forever guests in our homes no matter how much happiness they may find there.

The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression.

The British do not expect happiness. I had the impression all the time that I lived there that they do not want to be happy they want to be right.

Everyone has their own way of expressing happiness.

A woman's heart must be of such a size and no larger else it must be pressed small like Chinese feet her happiness is to be made as cakes are by a fixed recipe.

I start to think there really is no cure for depression that happiness is an ongoing battle and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it's worth it.

Nobody I think ought to read poetry or look at pictures or statues who cannot find a great deal more in them than the poet or artist has actually expressed. Their highest merit is suggestiveness.

To me acting is the most logical way for people's neuroses to manifest themselves in this great need we all have to express ourselves.

I do have my ducks in line if I want to do it but I'd love to see the Republicans pick somebody that was going to win and take over this country and frankly to use the expression 'Make America great again.'

Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.

I remember that. I was talking to him and I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell everything. You can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared.

One great object of the Constitution was to restrain majorities from oppressing minorities or encroaching upon their just rights.

A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels in the deepest sense about what is being photographed.

Why do you think the old stories tell of men who set out on great journeys to impress the gods? Because trying to impress people just isn't worth the time and effort.

Our Generation has had no Great war no Great Depression. Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives.

Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.

I think I finally chose the graduate degree in engineering primarily because it only took one year and law school took three years and I felt the pressure of being a little behind - although I was just 22.

I'm not impressed by someone's degree... I'm impressed by them making movies.

We must not tolerate oppressive government or industrial oligarchy in the form of monopolies and cartels.

Most of the press is in league with government or with the status quo.

In addition to their power over government based on government financing and personal influence bankers could steer governments in ways they wished them to go by other pressures.

Old forms of government finally grow so oppressive that they must be thrown off even at the risk of reigns of terror.
