Famous quotes/speeches.

I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system - that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.

Atticus Finch/Harper Lee.
 
"Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?"

Means alot to me. You wouldn't understand unless you've been called a 'freak' and been treated badly or whatever because you're different. Lady Gaga gives me that place to go when I feel like a freak, y'know?

Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore. - Lady Gaga

This is the Manifesto of Little Monster
There is something heroic about the way my fans operate their cameras. So precisely, so intricately and so proudly. Like Kings writing the history of their people, is their prolific nature that both creates and procures what will later be percieved as the kingdom. So the real truth about Lady Gaga fans, my little monsters, lies in this sentiment: They are the Kings. They are the Queens. They write the hisory of the kingdom and I am something of a devoted Jester. It is in the theory of perception that we have established our bond, or the lie I should say, for which we kill. We are nothing without our image. Without our projection. Without the spiritual hologram of who we percieve ourselves to be or rather to become, in the future. When you are lonely, I will be lonely too. And this is the fame. - Lady Gaga

I'm single right now and I've chosen to be single because I don't have the time to get to know anybody. So it's okay not to have sex, it's okay to get to know people. I'm celibate. Celibacy's fine. - Lady Gaga

When you're in the public eye, you're a role model whether you want to be or not, and I want to be. I'm not one of those self-obsessed artists who don't care about their fans. It's not just about the music. I look out into the O2 and there are 18,000 screaming young people and I have a responsibility to them — and you're an idiot if you don't know that. - Lady Gaga

There are transsexual women and transgender women and suddenly it becomes poisonous and something else because there are some people in this world that believe being gay is a choice. It's not a choice, we're born this way. - Lady Gaga

Yes, most of them are from Lady Gaga... infact, all but one are. And so what? She is my idol and I really do cling to everything she says because well... look at what she is saying! How can these not inspire you, and not make you comfortable with who you are, and not make you a free person?!

Mneh... Can you see why she is my idol now?
 
If it ain't broke, don't fix it - My dad after I randomly took apart his CD player when I was 9.
 
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy it can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

You aren't allowed to have a party, you aren't allowed to have music, you aren't allowed to play ball games, you aren't allowed to have a camp fire, you have to park within two feet of a post, you have to keep quiet, you have to be in bed by eleven. This is not a holiday, it's a concentration camp!
