Every Christmas now for years I have found myself wondering about the point of the celebration. As the holiday has become more ecumenical and secular it has lost much of the magic that I remember so fondly from childhood.

Yeah I started when I was 6 years old. My brother and sister would get all of these presents at Christmas time from the cast and crew of their show and I was jealous. So I decided that I had to become an actor.

In the United States Christmas has become the rape of an idea.

To perceive Christmas through its wrappings becomes more difficult with every year.

I once wanted to become an atheist but I gave up - they have no holidays.

There's an adage that is an apt description of the new dynamic at work between brands and consumers connected through social media: People support what they help to build. But now that many brands are launching community-driven cause marketing campaigns the challenge becomes what to do next?

Now this relaxation of the mind from work consists on playful words or deeds. Therefore it becomes a wise and virtuous man to have recourse to such things at times.

Pray thee spare thyself at times: for it becomes a wise man sometimes to relax the high pressure of his attention to work.

A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state and this state is constant.

I myself would like to become more disciplined within my work.

We work to become not to acquire.

I feel sorry... for people who've had skinny privilege and then have it taken away from them. I have had a lifetime to adjust to seeing how people treat women who aren't their idea of beautiful and therefore aren't their idea of useful and I had to find ways to become useful to myself.

You become tyrannized by this notion that women must not only be treated equally but they must never fail.

Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.

Big women do themselves a disservice when they attempt to become the Righteous Fat (the Righteous Thin are bad enough all that running around and sweating somehow believing it means anything).

I don't mind a dirty girl. But what I find tragic is when we as women become not the subject of our own story but someone else's object.

Women if the soul of the nation is to be saved I believe that you must become its soul.
