Everybody always wants to rebel against their parents' music but nobody listened to music louder than my dad.

My dad said 'The thing that I was told that was really helpful was that I mustn't be afraid of the things I was afraid of when I was five years old'. The shock of his childhood had put him in this defensive crouch against the world and he needed to know that he had a nice wife and kids and it wasn't the same any more.

I love revolutionaries who have the courage to stand up against the status quo. They're always misunderstood but they're the ones who are standing up for human rights.

A leader must have the courage to act against an expert's advice.

Unjust. How many times I've used that word scolded myself with it. All I mean by it now is that I don't have the final courage to say that I refuse to preside over violations against myself and to hell with justice.

But courage which goes against military expediency is stupidity or if it is insisted upon by a commander irresponsibility.

Courage and conviction are powerful weapons against an enemy who depends only on fists or guns. Animals know when you are afraid a coward knows when you are not.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you have encountered and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

He is a man of courage who does not run away but remains at his post and fights against the enemy.

I like rhythmic things that butt up against each other in a cool kind of way.

The funny thing is the girls that I'm always up against for roles are pretty nice and cool like Emma Watson. She's awesome.

But picketing - picketing for or against something and handing out literature - these are conspicuously formal actions. They have to be understood as indirect communication.

The church acknowledges some Scientologists choose to sever communications with family members who leave. The church says it is a fundamental human right to cease communication with someone. It adds disconnection is used against expelled members and those who attack the church.

You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don't give equal rights to women you can't progress.

President Obama's version of America is a divided one - pitting us against each other based on our income level gender and social status. His policies have failed! We are not better off than we were 4 years ago and no rhetoric bumper sticker or campaign ad can change that.

Bill Gates is a relative newcomer to the fight against global warming but he's already shifting the debate over climate change.

We have to struggle against the conservatives from all sides not only the right-wingers but also the left-wing conservatives who don't want to change anything.
