Quote by -Aristotle

Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
"The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it."
Quote by -John Ruskin
“for in every country of the world, I believe, the avarice and injustice of princes and sovereign states, abusing the confidence of their subjects, have by degrees diminished the real quantity of metal, which had been originally contained in their coins. The Roman as, in the latter ages of the republic, was reduced to the twenty-fourth part of its original value, and, instead of weighing a pound, came to weigh only half an ounce. The English pound and penny contain at present about a third only; the Scots pound and penny about a thirty-sixth; and the French pound and penny about a sixty-sixth part of their original value. By means of those operations, the princes and sovereign states which performed them were enabled, in appearance, to pay their debts and fulfil their engagements with a smaller quantity of silver than would otherwise have been requisite. It was indeed in appearance only; for their creditors were really defrauded of a part of what was due to them. All other debtors in the state were allowed the same privilege, and might pay with the same nominal sum of the new and debased coin whatever they had borrowed in the old. Such operations, therefore, have always proved favourable to the debtor, and ruinous to the creditor, and have sometimes produced a greater and more universal revolution in the fortunes of private persons, than could have been occasioned by a very great public calamity.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“Princes and sovereign states have frequently fancied that they had a temporary interest to diminish the quantity of pure metal contained in their coins; but they seldom have fancied that they had any to augment it.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac. They look just like everyone else.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I like the way my own feet smell. I love to smell my sneakers when I take them off.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it's incredibly romantic.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I want a Mini-Cooper because it's fuel efficient, emissions efficient and all that stuff. It's small and better for the environment. I think that will be my next car.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I certainly hope I'm not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I was a big sci-fi fantasy geek when I was younger... secretly, in my room.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I would love to fly privately, but unfortunately, I don't. I don't summer anywhere either.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I just want to be married, or just engaged. Basically, I just want a ring. And the tax break.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I think that the best career that someone can have is one that's reflective of their personal tastes.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I think I'm better at playing difficult than I am at being normal. And to me that's something I'm working on now. I'm not really that difficult or complex a person, so it's interesting to me that it's just so much harder for me to play an everygirl.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I think that I need to work on being comfortable at being normal, everyday-ish on camera. Unlike a lot of actors, I think that's the thing that I'm not so comfortable with.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I feel like some of the best talent is on TV right now, with the writing, acting and great directors. I've also been looking for the consistency of work that TV provides for you. And, I always thought it would be really interesting to live with a character for months, if not years.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I've been looking to do TV for a while. I've always done guest starring stuff. I've done a couple of multi-episode arcs, and I've always loved the experience.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
We have so much pride in welcoming these passengers onto the plane, and they have so much pride in travel. It's something that I definitely always remember, when I'm playing a scene on the plane, just to imbue everything with that sense of excitement.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I've been to therapists my whole life. I find the less attention I pay to food, the healthier I am. Any obsession is dangerous. And a whole country that's obsessed with one thing, unless it's, like, jeans, it's very dangerous. Everyone's obsessed right now with carbohydrates in this country. It's ridiculous.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
My sister and I shared a bedroom our entire lives and I believe she discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I'm four years younger. So from the age of 7 until 17 we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia in our room, even those little stuffed Beatles that went on stands that are dressed as the Sgt. Pepper band.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
Every night I fell asleep to a different Beatles album. So I'm very familiar with the Beatles; Ringo was my favorite Beatle until I grew up and then changed. I made the switch over to George Harrison just in time to regain my cool.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I come from one of these hideous backgrounds where being sincere is like - ugh, you might as well kill yourself.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
It's fun to be sarcastic, but now I'm able to express myself in a way that's much more sincere.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I think I've always been interested in playing people who are judged very harshly.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I always knew that I was kind of bored; the regular life of a child didn't fit me.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I think the thing that I always try to do - because it piques my interest - is to play really different parts all the time.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
When you're doing something where you really like the material, it doesn't matter what medium it's in.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
I mean, I sing. But I don't think I'm a good enough singer to do any kind of musical.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
We all have insecurities, and the thing that makes them crippling is that we all have the ability to blow them up into such huge issues in our minds, that we might as well have a facial deformity. It keeps us from really going out there and living our lives, and forgetting about hating yourself and just experiencing the world around you.
Quote by -Christina Ricci
We might all be so afraid to be who we are, but in the end, it's really you're individual, unique qualities that make you attractive to people.
