Mason Cooley
I only answer to two people, myself and God.
Cher
Our expression and our words never coincide, which is why the animals don't understand us.
I am favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it's possible.
Milton Friedman
Strange and predatory and truly dangerous, car thieves and muggers -- they seem to jeopardize all our cherished concepts, even our self-esteem, our property rights, our powers of love, our laws and pleasures. The only relationship we seem to have with them is scorn or bewilderment, but they belong somewhere on the dark prairies of a country that is in the throes of self-discovery.
John Cheever
I did go to Wellesley, a women's college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.
Madeleine Albright
People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.
To perceive Christmas through its wrappings becomes more difficult with every year.
E. B. White
Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Bill Hicks
I do not understand the capricious lewdness of the sleeping mind.
To have a great man for a friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it those who have, fear it.
Horace
The organizations of men, like men themselves, seem subject to deafness, near-sightedness, lameness, and involuntary cruelty. We seem tragically unable to help one another, to understand one another.
The best CEOs I know are teachers, and at the core of what they teach is strategy.
Michael Porter
I'll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.
Salma Hayek
A lonely man is a lonesome thing, a stone, a bone, a stick, a receptacle for Gilbey's gin, a stooped figure sitting at the edge of a hotel bed, heaving copious sighs like the autumn wind.
No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her, but many a woman hate a man for being a friend to her.
Alexander Pope
It's developing a relationship with actors that makes it work.
Richard Donner
My veins are filled, once a week with a Neapolitan carpet cleaner distilled from the Adriatic and I am as bald as an egg. However I still get around and am mean to cats.
Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil -- not the strength to choose between the two.
The task of an American writer is not to describe the misgivings of a woman taken in adultery as she looks out of a window at the rain but to describe four hundred people under the lights reaching for a foul ball. This is ceremony.
We praise Him, we bless Him, we adore Him, we glorify Him, and we wonder who is that baritone across the aisle and that pretty woman on our right who smells of apple blossoms. Our bowels stir and our cod itches and we amend our prayers for the spiritual life with the hope that it will not be too spiritual.
All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue, and every prudent act, is founded on compromise and barter.
Edmund Burke
The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.
John Vance Cheney
I have thought there was some advantage even in death, by which we mingle with the herd of common men.
Henry David Thoreau
Equal opportunity is good, but special privilege is better.

Mine is just a simple old human story - of one person trying, with great rigor and discipline, to comprehend her personal relationship with divinity.
Elizabeth Gilbert
You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Jon Kyl
It just seems awfully mean. But sometimes, the ends justify the mean.
Michael Scott
We had news this morning of another successful atomic bomb being dropped on Nagasaki. These two heavy blows have fallen in quick succession upon the Japanese and there will be quite a little space before we intend to drop another.
Henry L. Stimson
I've generally got a good eye for design and proportion.
Bruce Oldfield
The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress.
Hendrik Willem Van Loon
Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go on failing. Go on. Only next time, try to fail better.
Samuel Beckett
They had some really cool rigged cars and things that were different that they would tow behind the camera car that were actually on these trailers that manipulated side to side and stuff like they were getting hit, and actually put the actor right in the middle of the chase.
