You can never get enough of what you don't want.
Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.
Susan Sontag
Tamed as it may be, sexuality remains one of the demonic forces in human consciousness -- pushing us at intervals close to taboo and dangerous desires, which range from the impulse to commit sudden arbitrary violence upon another person to the voluptuous yearning for the extinction of one's consciousness, for death itself. Even on the level of simple physical sensation and mood, making love surely resembles having an epileptic fit at least as much as, if not more than, it does eating a meal or conversing with someone.
Who shall I shoot? You choose. Now, listen very carefully: where's your coffee? You've got coffee, haven't you? C'mon, everyone's got coffee! Spill the beans!
Terry Pratchett
To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.
Charles de Montesquieu
Fear of sexuality is the new, disease-sponsored register of the universe of fear in which everyone now lives.
One set of messages of the society we live in is: Consume. Grow. Do what you want. Amuse yourselves. The very working of this economic system, which has bestowed these unprecedented liberties, most cherished in the form of physical mobility and material prosperity, depends on encouraging people to defy limits.
Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the final analysis, style is art. And art is nothing more or less than various modes of stylized, dehumanized representation.
The American people know what's necessary to get this economy moving again. It's fiscal discipline in Washington, D.C. and across-the-board tax relief for working families, small businesses and family farms.
Mike Pence
In days of doubt, in days of dreary musings on my country's fate, you alone are my comfort and support, oh great, powerful, righteous, and free Russian language!
Ivan Turgenev
I was brought up in the War. I was an adolescent in the Second World War. And I did witness in London a great deal of the Blitz.
Harold Pinter
All persons, living and dead, are purely coincidental.
Kurt Vonnegut
Although I'm Australian, I find myself much more in sympathy with the Austrian version!
David Chalmers
Creativity is seeing what everyone else has seen, and thinking what no else has thought
Albert Einstein
Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn't. It focuses on facts.
Sarah Silverman
An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will change the way we live and work.
Dean Kamen
We pretend that we know our children, because it's easier than admitting the truth--from the minute that cord is cut, they are strangers. It's far easier to tell yourself your daughter is still a little girl than to see her in a bikini and realize she has the curves of a young woman; it's safer to say you're a good parent who has all the right conversations about drugs and sex than to acknowledge there are a thousand things she would never tell you.
Jodi Picoult
The ordinary American - as far as I can tell - knows so much less than he did fifty years ago and has such poor work habits compared with fifty years ago that the average multiplicand of knowledge/capabilities is a much smaller number than it was in 1961.
Ben Stein
When a woman behaves like a man why doesn't she behave like a nice man?
Dame Edith Evans
Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs.
Seth Lloyd
In journalism it is simpler to sound off than it is to find out. It is more elegant to pontificate than it is to sweat.
Harold Evans
How can people be so stupid? I marvel at that. See, I think you have to work as being ignorant - and if you're gonna work at being ignorant, why not work at being informed?
Rush Limbaugh
The place I feel most at home is when I have health insurance. I really don't care how I get it, whether it's on film, or television or waiting tables, you know?
Benjamin Walker
We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment.
George Eliot
There is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.
Ray Bradbury
It's all right to love someone who doesn't love you back, as long as they're worth you loving them. As long as they deserve it.
Cassandra Clare
I just travel the world with my backpack and my cameras and a bunch of Clif bars.
Henry Rollins
The commonest objection to birth control is that it is against nature.
Bertrand Russell
Your patience would fail you if I should continue to relate all the disrespectful speeches and treatment which your servants have been obliged to listen to and patiently to bear.
Peter Stuyvesant
It's important for moms to have alone time. However, that's the first thing that goes on a busy day. Fortunately for me, because of my job, I have to find the time to do it. At least that's the way my mind sees it.
Cindy Crawford
I remember that all of a sudden, the car felt like I couldn't control it. It was absolutely the most horrifying experience. We rolled over, off the freeway. I think there was something wrong with the car.
Tracey Gold
Every cloud engenders not a storm
William Shakespeare
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.
Carl Rogers
He had a notebook. He took notes in it. It was always useful. And them Sybil, gods bless her, had brought him this fifteen-function imp which did so many other things, although as far as he could see at least ten of its functions consisted of apologizing for its inefficiency in the other five.
When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.

Reproof on her lip, but a smile in her eye.
Samuel Lover
My grandfather gave me a watch. It doesn't have any hands or numbers. He says it's very accurate. I asked him what time it was. You can guess what he told me.
