“The word 'Antichrist', to me, is the collective disbelief in god.”
Marilyn Manson
“My first memories of religion were being taken to Episcopal church. My father was Catholic, but my mother, I believe, was Episcopal. So I sort of veered off into the watered-down version of Catholicism.”
Marilyn Manson
“I come here tonight as a sister, blessed with a brother who is my mentor, my protector and my lifelong friend. And I come here as a wife who loves my husband and believes he will be an extraordinary president.”
Michelle Obama
“We all need to start making some changes to how our families eat. Now, everyone loves a good Sunday dinner. Me included. And there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is when we eat Sunday dinner Monday through Saturday.”
Michelle Obama
“And in my own life, in my own small way, I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us - no matter what our age or background or walk of life - each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation.”
Michelle Obama
“Even if we give parents all the information they need and we improve school meals and build brand new supermarkets on every corner, none of that matters if when families step into a restaurant, they can't make a healthy choice.”
Michelle Obama
“I like to talk about my obsession with french fries because I don't want people to think that 'Let's Move' is about complete, utter deprivation. It's about moderation and real-life changes and ideas that really work for families.”
Michelle Obama
“When it comes to the health of our families, Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave health reform for another day, another president. He didn't care whether it was the easy thing to do politically - that's not how he was raised - he cared that it was the right thing to do.”
Michelle Obama
“Clearly this is a tough economic time, and a lot of families are hurting. So when we talk to parents, we talk about small changes for kids and things that don't cost extra money. Like adding water and eliminating sugary drinks and sodas. That's going to save money right there. Or adding a few more vegetables.”
Michelle Obama
“Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much. They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did... in fact, they admired it.”
Michelle Obama
“Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your best days are still out in front of you.”

“People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they're not all growing in their faith, they're not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.”
Joel Osteen
“I have always believed in God.”

“I believe the scripture says that being gay is a sin.”

Joel Osteen
“Believe me, the next step is a currency crisis because there will be a rejection of the dollar, the rejection of the dollar is a big, big event, and then your personal liberties are going to be severely threatened.”
Ron Paul
“Believe me, the intellectual revolution is going on, and that has to come first before you see the political changes. That's where I'm very optimistic.”
Ron Paul
“I think a submarine is a very worthwhile weapon. I believe we can defend ourselves with submarines and all our troops back at home. This whole idea that we have to be in 130 countries and 900 bases... is an old-fashioned idea.”
Ron Paul
“When things go badly, individuals look for scapegoats. I just do not believe that barbed-wire fences or guns on our border will solve any of our problems.”
Ron Paul
“I can't tell anybody else how to run their life or their business, but I really believe I've got a good bead on myself.”
Dolly Parton
“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.”
Blaise Pascal
“In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.”
Blaise Pascal
“Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.”
Blaise Pascal
“It is natural for the mind to believe and for the will to love; so that, for want of true objects, they must attach themselves to false.”
Blaise Pascal
“Men often take their imagination for their heart; and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.”
Blaise Pascal
“Discovering the 'impossible' ending to a new book makes me sick with joy and relief.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“Do you remember when you were 10 or 11 years old and you really thought your folks were the best? They were completely omniscient and you took their word for everything. And then you got older and you went through this hideous age when suddenly they were the devil, they were bullies, and they didn't know anything.”
Chuck Palahniuk
