“To put it bluntly, anytime you've worked your tail off and put five years into it, and to have your whole career in the hands of one guy - it's frustrating, very frustrating. But we just kept working.”
Keith Burns
“There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.”
Stacey Charter
“To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation. But I'm working on the foundation.”
Marilyn Monroe
“One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised.”
Chinua Achebe
“Truth is a point, the subtlest and finest; harder than adamant; never to be broken, worn away or blunted. Its only bad quality is, that it is sure to hurt those who touch it; and likely to draw blood, perhaps the life blood of those who press earnestly upon it.”
Walter Savage Landor
“How do you do, Miss West? Mae West: How do you do what?”
Mae West
“If I were to make public these tapes, containing blunt and candid remarks on many different subjects, the confidentiality of the office of the president would always be suspect.”
Richard M. Nixon
