Connie Nielsen
Danish Actress
For breakfast, I eat organic food with high fat content, such as whole milk yogurt, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit and a scrambled egg. I cook it in organic grape seed oil for its high omega content. I drink a cappuccino for its dose of milk and the coffee for its taste, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Quote examples
Jessi Klein
American Writer
I see an insidious problem in the marketing of weddings as 'the happiest day of your life.' The pressure that is placed upon this event to be the alpha and omega of your entire existence makes it, I think, into a kind of nuptial New Year's Eve, and we all know how that usually turns out.

Quote examples
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
French Economist
I build no system. I ask an end to privilege, the abolition of slavery, equality of rights, and the reign of law. Justice, nothing else; that is the alpha and omega of my argument: to others I leave the business of governing the world.

Quote examples
Judith Durham
Australian Musician
I am quite healthy and very careful about my diet. I take a vitamin B complex, a vitamin C supplement, iron and hemp oil - which is a good source of omega 3 - every day. I don't eat meat, fish or eggs, or anything that's too starchy.

American Scientist
I don't think things are moving toward an omega point; I think they're moving toward more diversity.
