Barack Obama
Life is a horizontal fall.
Jean Cocteau
The greatest masterpiece in literature is only a dictionary out of order.
So while I will never minimize the costs involved in military action, I am convinced that a failure to act in Libya would have carried a far greater price for America.

Serena Williams
The Louver is a morgue; you go there to identify your friends.
Learn about the world, the way it works, any kind of science and anthropology, it's really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea, even more than the idea of God I think.
Randy Newman
Mystery has its own mysteries, and there are gods above gods. We have ours, they have theirs. That is what's known as infinity.
The joy of youth is to disobey; but the trouble is that there are no longer any orders.

Poetry is indispensable --if I only knew what for.
I'm a huge, huge sports fan, and Marquette basketball is my No. 1 thing.
Danny Pudi
Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.
I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.
Mitch Hedberg
I worked on scores. I went to the musical library in Berlin which is very famous. I discovered that we had scores of Beethoven, printed scores of Beethoven, that are full of mistakes. Not the wrong or false notes, but the wrong dynamic, understandable things.
Kurt Masur
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
If a hermit lives in a state of ecstasy, his lack of comfort becomes the height of comfort. He must relinquish it.
Where the stakes are the highest, in the war on terror, we cannot possibly succeed without extraordinary international cooperation. Effective international police actions require the highest degree of intelligence sharing, planning and collaborative enforcement.
A car can massage organs which no masseur can reach. It is the one remedy for the disorders of the great sympathetic nervous system.
There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.
Style is a simple way of saying complicated things.
What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artist's presence makes itself felt above that of the model. With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the soul's style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.
Tact is knowing how far to go too far.
I did get to keep the wedding dresses from 'Runaway Bride'. They're all boxed up in my garage. I've never opened them. It'll be fun one day when Hazel is taller. She can play dress-up with her friends.
Julia Roberts
Death is with you all the time you get deeper in it as you move towards it, but it's not unfamiliar to you. It's always been there, so what becomes unfamiliar to you when you pass away from the moment is really life.
Bell Hooks

Marlo Thomas
Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.
P. J. O'Rourke

Michael Mandelbaum
I do not take any pleasure whatsoever in being a famous person.
Donna Leon
I remember the day, that because that was made possible, in our minds, everything else was possible as well.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The test of leadership for David Cameron was actually to bring the British Conservative Party back in to the mainstream.
David Miliband
I mean, I talk about being Jewish a lot. It's funny because I do think of myself as Jewish ethnically, but I'm not religious at all. I have no religion.
Sarah Silverman
