There is no comparing the brutality and cynicism of today's pop culture with that of forty years ago: from High Noon to Robocop is a long descent.
Not everyone can see the truth, but he can be it.
Franz Kafka
The nice thing about anger is that, as an emotion, it's strong enough to unplug me from the comedian's mind for a minute and just be a frustrated member of the citizenry.
Seth Meyers
Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind.
Daphne du Maurier
.. the late afternoon sunlight, warm as oil, sweet as childhood ...
Stephen King
The thing that stood out above and beyond all the experiences was this relationship with the nine-month-old baby. On weekends, I'd be thinking about going back to set on Monday just to see the baby.
Vin Diesel
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.
Emile Zola
We do not always appreciate the role the Queen has played in one of the most significant changes in the past 60 years: the transformation of Britain into a multi-ethnic, multi-faith society. No one does interfaith better than the Royal family, and it starts with the Queen herself.
Jonathan Sacks
I'm only late three or four times once a month.
Chumlee
Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
Oscar Wilde
In the long run what people think about shepherds and bakers becomes more important for them than their own destinies.
Paulo Coelho
The contrasts between what is spent today to educate a child in the poorest New York City neighborhoods, where teacher salaries are often even lower than the city averages, and spending levels in the wealthiest suburban areas are daunting challenges to any hope New Yorkers might retain that even semblances of fairness still prevail.
Jonathan Kozol
All good art is an indiscretion.
Tennessee Williams
Pat Roberts and I both feel very strongly that when we get to Iran, that we can't make the same mistakes. We have to ask the questions, the hard questions before, not afterwards, and get the right intelligence.
Jay Rockefeller
Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Strength of character means the ability to overcome resentment against others, to hide hurt feelings, and to forgive quickly.
Lawrence G. Lovasik
You either love or you hate. You live in the middle, you get nothing.
Charlie Sheen
From a night of more sleep than she had expected, Marianne awoke the next morning to the same consciousness of misery in which she had closed her eyes.
Jane Austen
Why would I spend my time writing software in a language below the grade of love, if I can use one that makes my brain sing?
David Heinemeier Hansson
For somebody famous, it's weird anyway to meet someone, because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.
Ricki Lake
If the past is not to bind us, where can duty lie? We should have no law but the inclination of the moment.
George Eliot
I didn't want to be the archetypal sponging brother-in-law, so I didn't go into acting when I got to the States. I thought, 'No, I'll go to school and then I'll be an English teacher that'll be fun.' But I was horrible as a teacher. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't inspire those kids to take an interest in Milton and Shakespeare and Donne.
John Mahoney
It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.
J.K. Rowling
Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it
Blaise Pascal
Few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning.
Virginia Woolf
As technology advances, it reverses the characteristics of every situation again and again. The age of automation is going to be the age of 'do it yourself.'
Marshall McLuhan
If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.
Aristotle
It is not always possible to do away with negative thinking, but with persistence and practice, one can gain mastery over them so that they do not take the upper hand.
Stephen Richards
Evils draw men together.
I grew up in a family that was multifaceted, sexually oriented, and pretty much open to everything. And because I was working, my friends were all adults. I had a tough time going to different schools because people knew me from films and I was the fat child who got beaten up every day.
Drew Barrymore
She was so fat that her bikini is made out of two bed sheets (kingsize)
Rodney Dangerfield
Being famous is wicked. But it's better to be normal.
Rupert Grint
I am a particular fan of integrative exercise - that is, exercise that occurs in the course of doing some productive activity such as gardening, bicycling to work, doing home improvement projects and so on.
Andrew Weil
And oh she had been broken. She hid it well, but Ross knew from personal experience that once you had put the pieces together, even though you might look intact, you were never quite the same as you'd been before the fall
Jodi Picoult
Thank God we're living in a country where the sky's the limit, the stores are open late and you can shop in bed thanks to television.
Joan Rivers
I don't like to boast, but I have probably skipped more poetry than any other person of my age and weight in this country.
Will Cuppy
The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom... in a clarification of life - not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.
Robert Frost
You cannot drive a system that's going to be aiming at preventing illness if everyone is not in it. The whole gaming of health insurance and health care in America is based on that fundamental principle: insure people who aren't sick and you don't have to pay more money on them.
Mehmet Oz
We all deal with issues of time. The first thing you do in the morning is look at the clock to see what time it is.
Jeremy Piven
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
