Colleen Hanabusa
American Politician
During times of emergencies, civil crisis, or natural disasters it is important for persons to remain free to exercise their constitutional rights in a lawful and appropriate manner, and I believe it is important that we provide individuals with specific reassurance that we value those rights.
Quote examples
Lynn Coady
Canadian Novelist
True adulthood occurs the moment we grasp that the people who raised us do not exist solely for our comfort and reassurance. From that point on, the steady stream of unconditional love and support we've expected from them all our lives has to flow both ways.
Quote examples
Kenneth More
British Actor

Quote examples
Bob Hoskins
British Actor

Quote examples
