School days are the unhappiest in the whole span if human existence. They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and unpleasant ordinances, with brutal violations of common sense and common decency.

I`m always shocked that gay marriage is such a big deal. You have to realize how precious human life is, when there are tsunamis and mudslides, when there are armies and terrorists - at any moment, you could be gone, and potentially in the most brutal fas...
Jennifer Beals
There wasn`t any room for failure. I just went for it. I give 110 percent to everything I do, so it was very exhausting and brutal; mentally, physically and spiritually. It was a test, and I learned a lot from it. - about Thin Red Line and the filming
Dash Mihok
[On one of his most famous characters, Stanley Kowalski from A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)] "Kowalski was always right, and never afraid. He never wondered, he never doubted. His ego was very secure. And he had the kind of brutal aggressiveness that I h...
Marlon Brando
[On the fate of Saddam Hussein after trial] I`ve got my own personal views. This is a brutal dictator. He`s a person who killed a lot of people. But my personal views are not important in this matter. It`s going to be up to the Iraqis to make those decisi...
George W. Bush
It was about six months of brutal training, twice a day at the gym, a Navy Seal guy would come over to my house and take me to the firing range, firing live rounds down the range, primary and secondary weapons. Learning edge weapons training, one man mili...
Thomas Jane
[From an interview expressing concern over making Conan the Destroyer (1984) less brutal than its predecessor, Conan the Barbarian (1982)] I think it`s a mistake. I know Sylvester Stallone made an extra $20 million because he got a PG rating for Rocky III...
Arnold Schwarzenegger
I was subjected to a pretty brutal public beating. The film came out and, you could have heard a pin drop. Not even the crickets weren`t chirping. But the other thing I never heard was one single word of apology. I thought I dealt with that stuff. But the...
Mel Gibson
Profondo rosso (1975) is my favorite movie. The character David Hemmings plays is very much based on my own personality. It was a very strong film, very brutal, and of course the censors were upset. It was cut by almost an hour in some countries.
Dario Argento
There`s something about matching the character with the script. And right now, the script that`s being written, and reality, is pretty brutal and pretty hard-edged, like a rough action film, and you need somebody who`s been in that to deal with it. - On S...

We must now make clear to Lebanon that it will not benefit from U.S. assistance and support as long as it harbors this brutal terrorist and murder.
Alice Billings
We imagined that the mildness of our government and the wishes of the people were so correspondent that we were not as other nations, requiring brutal force to support the laws.
Alexander Surikov
Throughout United States history we have encountered and defeated brutal enemies, inhumane and monstrous dictators and met with hideous violence.
Albert Alschuler
This city can be kind of brutal, so you see your dreams from every different angle, but ultimately it`s about acting and if you enjoy acting, you will always enjoy acting.
Radha Mitchell
The United States, per capita, at a certain period in its history, had the most junkies of any country ever in the world - right after the Civil War. The most brutal war, the greatest amount of casualties that America`s ever had.
Al Lewis
The judicial authorities are imposing a grim ordeal on three journalists under pressure from the governor of an unstable state. The Nigerian press is still in the grip of harsh legislation, a brutal police force and authoritarian governors. On this New Ye...
Ann Darrin
Saddam Hussein was a brutal tyrant. I am glad he is now on trial for crimes against humanity. But, opposition to a dictator is not the measure I use when deciding whether to send our men and women in uniform off to war and possible death.
