No one is "born gay.” The idea is ridiculous, but it is symptomatic of our overpoliticized climate that such assertions are given instant credence by gay activists and their media partisans. I think what gay men are remembering is that they were born different. View quote
Camille Paglia

Since we must and do write each our own way, we may during actual writing get more lasting instruction not from another's work, whatever its blessings, however better it is than ours, but from our own poor scratched-over pages. For these we can hold up to life. That is, we are born with a mind and heart to hold each page up to, and to ask: is it valid? (Eudora Welty)
All birth means separation from the All, the confinement within limitation, the separation from God, the pangs of being born ever anew. The return into the All, the dissolution of painful individuation, the reunion with God means the expansion of the soul until it is able once more to embrace the All. View quote
Hermann Hesse
Life is always frightful. We cannot help it and we are responsible all the same. One's born at once one is guilty. View quote
Hermann Hesse
I mean, I was born the day war broke out, but I don't remember all the bombs though they did actually break up Liverpool, you know. I remember when I was a little older, there was big gaps in all the streets where houses used to be. We used to play over them. View quote
Ringo Starr
I was born to be an explorer. There never was any decision to make. I coudn't be anything else and be happy, the desire to see new places, to discover new facts- the curiosity of life always has been a resistless driving force to me. View quote
Roy Chapman Andrews
So I think all gays who are born gay are overwhelming conservative, maybe apolitical, and all those angry gays, causing trouble for everybody, I don't think they were born gay. I think they are just angry at their fathers. View quote
Ann Coulter
The truth is, immigrants tend to be more American than people born here. View quote
Chuck Palahniuk
Your being born makes your parents God. You owe them your life, and they can control you. Then puberty makes you Satan, just because you want something better. View quote
Chuck Palahniuk
In this country, it doesn't make any difference where you were born. It doesn't make any difference who your parents were. It doesn't make any difference if, like me, you couldn't even speak English until you were in your twenties. View quote
Arnold Schwarzenegger
I believe with all my heart that America remains 'the great idea' that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here. View quote
Arnold Schwarzenegger
We do need to be born again, since Jesus said that to a guy named Nicodemus. But if you tell me I have to be born again to enter the Kingdom of God, I can tell you that you have to sell everything you have and give it to the poor, because Jesus said that to one guy, too. But I guess that's why God invented highlighers, so we can highlight the parts we like and ignore the rest. (Shane Claiborne)
O born in days when wits were fresh and clear, And life ran gaily as the sparkling Thames; Before this strange disease of modern life, With its sick hurry, its divided aims, Its heads o'ertax'd, its palsied hearts, was rife. View quote
Matthew Arnold

Jerry Springer
I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times! View quote
Van Morrison
It has always seemed to me that the social order was implicit in the very nature of things, and required nothing more from the human spirit than care in arranging the various elements; that a people could be governed without being made thralls or libertines or victims thereby; that man was born for peace and liberty, and became miserable and cruel only through the action of insidious and oppressive laws. And I believe therefore that if man be given laws which harmonize with the dictates of nature and of his heart he will cease to be unhappy and corrupt. View quote
Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
