Why I admire Queen Latifah

“I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences… I’m human, not perfect, like anybody else.”
Queen Latifah

A story about Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo Quotes:

A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

A mother’s arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.

Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.

Almost all our desires, when examined, contain something too shameful to reveal.

An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.

As the purse is emptied, the heart is filled.

Be like the bird that, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.

Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn’t every war fought between men, between brothers?

Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble; in a statue the marble must be like flesh.

Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age.

Habit is the nursery of errors.

How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.

A story about Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek Quotes:

Before you do anything, think. If you do something to try and impress someone, to be loved, accepted or even to get someone’s attention, stop and think. So many people are busy trying to create an image, they die in the process.

I have gotten a lot more attention than…other women that I find incredibly beautiful. And this has happened to me ever since I was a girl, when I was flat, had no teeth, was skinny and small as I could be. I always got more attention than anyone else. If I hadn’t, I would have made sure I did.

Life is tough, and if you have the ability to laugh at it you have the ability to enjoy it.

People often say that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.

A story about Jacques Chirac

Jacques Chirac Quotes:

One can go to war alone, but you can’t build peace alone.

Terrorism has become the systematic weapon of a war that knows no borders or seldom has a face.

As soon as one nation claims the right to take preventive action, other countries will naturally do the same. If we go down that road, where are we going?

If our language, our programs, our creations are not strongly present in the new media, the young generation of our country will be economically and culturally marginalized.

I would like to remind all French men and French women to gather together to defend human rights, to guarantee the cohesion of the nation and to affirm the unity of the republic.

Why I admire James Earl Jones

“One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can’t utter.”
James Earl Jones quote

Why I admire Morgan Freeman

A quote:

have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.”

Why I admire Audrey Tautou

A quote from Audrey:

“I don’t know where I’m going to be in three years. Because I have the feeling that the future is so full of possibilities, to stop being an actress, to do something else… for me, the future is just a huge bunch of discoveries.”

Why I admire Will Smith

Will Smith Quotes:

I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat.
Will Smith

I don’t know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived.
Will Smith

I had to focus and create a character in Bagger Vance, not just do my ‘Will Smith’ thing and get paid.
Will Smith

If it was something that I really committed myself to, I don’t think there’s anything that could stop me becoming President of the United States.
Will Smith

In my mind, I’ve always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y’all just didn’t know yet.
Will Smith

It’s quite highly possible that I have peaked. I mean, I just can’t imagine what else I could do beyond this. It’s really a bittersweet kind of feeling.
Will Smith

Money and success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.
Will Smith

My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I’m still a virgin in a lot of ways. I’m not used to being shot down for no reason.
Will Smith

On learning to swim: I’m too big to have some woman hold my stomach and say ‘Now kick your feet.’
Will Smith

The first eight years of schooling was with all white people. So that helped me to understand how white people think. I think that transition is what helped me bridge the gap, because that’s what my success has really been about: bridging the gap between the black community and the white community.
Will Smith

There’s so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I’ve got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father – and how come that’s not as newsworthy?
Will Smith

Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.
Will Smith

Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.
Will Smith

Well, all I know is what I read in the papers.
Will Smith

You can cry, ain’t no shame in it.
Will Smith
