Sometimes when we weep in the movies we weep for ourselves or for a life unlived. Or we even go to the movies because we want to resist the emotion that's there in front of us. I think there is always a catharsis that I look for and that makes the movie experience worthwhile.

Surfing soothes me it's always been a kind of Zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent peaceful and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I'm on a wave.

The experience of democracy is like the experience of life itself-always changing infinite in its variety sometimes turbulent and all the more valuable for having been tested by adversity.

My friends whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals a man fears everything but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.

The dictum that truth always triumphs over persecution is one of the pleasant falsehoods which men repeat after one another till they pass into commonplaces but which all experience refutes.

I understand now that the vulnerability I've always felt is the greatest strength a person can have. You can't experience life without feeling life. What I've learned is that being vulnerable to somebody you love is not a weakness it's a strength.

Difficult times always create opportunities for you to experience more love in your life.

Just as the wave cannot exist for itself but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean so must I never live my life for itself but always in the experience which is going on around me.

I've always enjoyed traveling and having experience with different cultures and different people. But it's also a wonderful thing to be able to benefit and enable research not only in our country but around the world.

The soul should always stand ajar ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

Experience has shown and a true philosophy will always show that a vast perhaps the larger portion of the truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant.

Fame will go by and so long I've had you fame. If it goes by I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experience but that's not where I live.

If history repeats itself and the unexpected always happens how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.

When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it.

I believe I've always been a big believer in equality. No one has ever been able to tell me I couldn't do something because I was a girl.

Feminism is just about equality really and there's so much stuff attached to the word when it's actually so simple. I don't know why it's always so bogged down.

There will always be a place for us somewhere somehow as long as we see to it that working people fight for everything they have everything they hope to get for dignity equality democracy to oppose war and to bring to the world a better life.

I believe there is complete equality between men and women. And I believe those passages in the New Testament not by Jesus but by Paul that say women should not adorn themselves they should always wear hats or color their hair in church - things like that - I think they are signs of the times and should not apply to modern-day life.

I've always been a strong supporter of environmental protection and initiatives in that area. But I'm willing to set priorities. If we have to make reductions in one place we'll have to-in order to increase another place I'm willing to do that.

I'd say that animal rights and environmental issues have always been at the forefront of my mind.

One of the things that I've always thought I would like to do is to develop an environmental index. Then people can measure their own environmental performance on an index as they do in other ways.
