\ Who can know the absolute truth of illusion or emptiness? That is why we feel the fulfilled sense of this world.
I am a filmmaker. That is all I've ever been. You know, Martin Scorsese makes films about the mob. And I make movies about food.
Alton Brown
When we know what God is, we shall be gods ourselves
George Bernard Shaw
There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it's like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges.
Ernest Hemingway
In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place.
Oscar Wilde
Illusion is the first of all pleasures.
I don't hold with prophets, said Alvin. Near as I can tell, they end up just as dead as the next man.
Orson Scott Card
I'm not a movie star. People know me, but they don't necessarily know what they know me for. I get recognised, but it's not like Justin Bieber. It's a nice thing, people are cool.
Harry Connick, Jr.
Progress just means bad things happen faster.
Terry Pratchett
There are two barriers that often prevent communication between the young and their elders. The first is middle-aged forgetfulness of the fact that they themselves are no longer young. The second is youthful ignorance of the fact that the middle aged are still alive.
Jessamyn West
He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense.
Joseph Conrad
All of us desire a better state of society. But society cannot become better before two great tasks are performed.Unless peace can be firmly established and the prevailing obsession with money and power profoundly modified, there is no hope of any desirable change being made.
Aldous Huxley
Gags die, humor doesn't.
Jack Benny
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
Margaret Thatcher
When you send out a powerful thought into the universe, you send out ripples to all parts of it which come back to you, reflecting what it is you sent out.
Stephen Richards
If you're a kid who's not necessarily attractive, and you don't have money, and you're not hip and cool, chances are you're not going to feel good about yourself and want to be an actor.
Jim McKay
Every kid needs to say, 'I want what my mom and dad have.'
Josh McDowell
If 50 percent of your career is not filled with failure, you're not really successful.
John Larroquette
In December 1998, I considered myself an expert on love. I was almost a year into a relationship, one that had grown more slowly than I had wished, but once it flowered it was much more stimulating than any marriage or relationship I had known.
Jane Smiley
I also wanted to express the strength of cinema to hide reality, while being entertaining. Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.
Pedro Almodovar
Then others for breath of words respect,Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.
William Shakespeare
I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.
Eminem
Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.
Hypatia
Everybody likes Johnny Cash. I think the sad part of it is his health is givin' him problems.
Merle Haggard
Through zeal knowledge is gotten, through lack of zeal knowledge is lost; let a man who knows this double path of gain and loss thus place himself that knowledge may grow.
Buddha
An Assassin, a real Assassin had to look like one-black clothes, hood, boots, and all. If they could wear any clothes, any disguise, then what could anyone do but spend all day in a small room with a loaded crossbow pointed at the door?
There was a time when young people respected learning and literature and now they don't.
Doris Lessing
When a man takes an oath...,he's holding his ownself in his own hands. Like water. And if he opens his fingers then- he needn't hope to find himself again.
Robert Bolt
It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!
Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment, though, is outside of time, it's Eternity. In India, they use the word 'karma,' for lack of any better term.
Paulo Coelho
Even at our birth, death does but stand aside a little. And every day he looks towards us and muses somewhat to himself whether that day or the next he will draw nigh.
I'm so not stylish by nature, but I've learned to work with what I have.
Julie Bowen
It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming It is a scam. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming.
John Coleman
My theory on housework is, if the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch on fire or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one cares. Why should you?
Erma Bombeck
God made rainy days so gardeners could get the housework done.
Anon.
My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.
The obvious and fair solution to the housework problem is to let men do the housework for, say, the next six thousand years, to even things up. The trouble is that men, over the years, have developed an inflated notion of the importance of everything they do, so that before long they would turn housework into just as much of a charade as business is now. They would hire secretaries and buy computers and fly off to housework conferences in Bermuda, but they'd never clean anything.
Dave Barry
Housework is a treadmill from futility to oblivion with stop-offs at tedium and counter productivity.
If God had meant us to walk around naked, he would never have invented the wicker chair.
My parents always made education and school the number one priority. They believed that an education is the best gift you can give to your child.
Debra Messing
I'm trying very hard to understand this generation. They have adjusted the timetable for childbearing so that menopause and teaching a sixteen-year-old how to drive a car will occur in the same week.
