~By Ken Mehlman ~
Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society... It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff.
~By Stephen Harper ~
That is basically me, and although I have done many things in my life - conducting, playing piano, and so on - what is fundamental is my being a composer.
~By Morton Gould ~

~By Rocco Buttiglione ~
What I try to do in the book is to trace the chain of relationships running from elementary particles, fundamental building blocks of matter everywhere in the universe, such as quarks, all the way to complex entities, and in particular complex adaptive system like jaguars.
~By Murray Gell Mann ~
Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.
~By Henry Ford ~
The fundamentalists are increasing. People, afraid to oppose those fundamentalists, shut their mouths. It is really very difficult to make people move against a sensitive issue like religion, which is the source of fundamentalism.
~By Taslima Nasrin ~
I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.
~By Reinhold Niebuhr ~

~By Karlheinz Stockhausen ~

~By David Thewlis ~
Acting is not that far from mental disease: An actor works on splitting his character into others. It is like a kind of schizophrenia.
~By Vittorio Gassman ~
We're not trying to reinvent the wheel; for any environmental organization to claim sole responsibility for any kind of victory is insane, because everybody attacks these problems as a group.
~By Ted Danson ~

~By Guillermo Cabrera Infante ~

~By Karl Lehmann ~
There is a fundamental difference between the Polish experience of the state and the Russian experience. In the Polish experience, the state was always a foreign power. So, to hate the state was a patriotic act.
~By Ryszard Kapuscinski ~
It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know.

~By Alex Campbell ~

~By Christopher Lasch ~
Jewish fundamentalism is teaching that Jews can fight with guns and with civil war, against being relocated off the West Bank, and disobey the orders of their government. That is the call to jihad, to several kinds of jihad.
~By Arthur Hertzberg ~
From the standpoint of observation, then, we must regard it as a highly probable hypothesis that the beginnings of the mental life date from as far back as the beginnings of life at large.
~By Wilhelm Wundt ~
I suspect the psychological pressure associated with that crisis caused the first mental blackout I had ever suffered. It contributed to a deterioration in my health that later required the insertion of a heart pacemaker.

~By Arthur Ashe ~
When a child shows up for school, and is not physically and mentally ready to learn, he or she never catches up.
~By C. Everett Koop ~

~By Edward James Olmos ~
It's probably fair to say that Obama's ideas were too big for America's appetite. It would have been nice had he made a few incremental repairs to the economy and left the transformative events for a less stressful time.
~By Kathleen Parker ~
My tendency is to be very experimental.
~By Sean Lennon ~
It is not more people that are needed in the world but better people, physically, morally and mentally. This question of raising the quality of our American population must also be taken into account in the question of immigration.
~By Agnes E. Meyer ~

~By Jim Morrison ~

~By Karl Jaspers ~
The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws.
~By John Adams ~

~By Jim Clyburn ~
Studies have shown that inmate participation in education, vocational and job training, prison work skills development, drug abuse, mental health and other treatment programs, all reduce recidivism, significantly.
~By Bobby Scott ~
Bond is part of the system. He's an imperialist and a misogynist, and he laughs at killing people, and he sits there slugging martinis. It'll never be the same thing as this, because Bourne is a guy who is against the establishment, who is paranoid and on the run. I just think fundamentally they're just very different things.
~By Matt Damon ~
I always say that I don't want to be sentimental, that the photographs shouldn't be sentimental, and yet, I am conscious of my sentimentality.
