"Find out what your hero or heroine wants, and when he or she wakes up in the morning, just follow him or her all day."
Ray Douglas Bradbury
"That's the good part of dying; when you've nothing to lose, you run any risk you want."
Ray Douglas Bradbury
"The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring. And that is not happiness."
F. H. Bradley
"All I want to be is normally insane."
Marlon Brando
"Anybody who wants the presidency so much that he'll spend two years organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office."
David Broder
"There is a serious defect in the thinking of someone who wants--more than anything else--to become rich. As long as they don't have the money, it'll seem like a worthwhile goal. Once they do, they'll understand how important other things are--and have always been."
Joseph Brooks
"The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still. Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing -- where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger, which he knows that he was meant and made to do."
Phillips Brooks
"My riches consist not in the extent of my possessions, but in the fewness of my wants."
J. Brotherton
"Do you always want to be right, or do you want to be happy?"
H. Jackson Browne
"Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves."
Eustace Budgell
"I was no petty thief, I wanted the world or nothing."
Charles Bukowski
"If you want to get across an idea, wrap it up in a person."
Ralph Bunche
"When her last child is off to school, we don't want the talented woman wasting her time in work far below her capacity. We want her to come out running."
Mary Ingraham Bunting
"A lot of advertisers lined up to throw money at this stuff because they were caught up in the hysteria about the Web. But now they want to know how you make money selling a $1.59 bottle of dish detergent on the World Wide Web."
Karen Burka
"Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. Men have right that these wants should be provided for, [including] the want of a sufficient restraint upon their passions."
Edmund Burke
"I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see."
John Burroughs
"The cat does not offer services. The cat offers itself. Of course he wants care and shelter. You don't buy love for nothing. Like all pure creatures, cats are practical."
William Seward Burroughs
"A friend is somebody you want to be around when you feel like being by yourself."
Barbara Burrow
"It has been said that the love of money is the root of all evil. The want of money is so quite as truly."
Samuel Butler
"It is in the uncompromisingness with which dogma is held and not in the dogma, or want of dogma, that the danger lies."
Samuel Butler
