The creative people I admire seem to share many characteristics: A fierce restlessness. Healthy cynicism. A real world perspective. An ability to simplify. Restraint. Patience. A genuine balance of confidence and insecurity. And most importantly, humanity.

Experience is never limited, and it is never complete it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.

Henry James

I was a sports fan, but I also went to peace marches.

Tim Robbins

A hypocrite despises those whom he deceives, but has no respect for himself. He would make a dupe of himself too, if he could.

William Hazlitt

Man, being essentially active, must find in activity his joy, as well as his beauty and glory; and labor, like every thing else that is good, is its own reward.

Henry Benjamin Whipple

I nearly died of double bronchial pneumonia at the age of five.

Roger Moore

Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That's what it was like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if oyu planned on fallin gin love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it.

Nicholas Sparks

I think the rules are going to have to change for me to ever run for public office. My checkered past will always keep me out of politics.

Bruce Willis

I will fight for my children on any level so they can reach their potential as human beings and in their public duties.

Princess of Wales Diana

Literature is a toil and a snare, a curse that bites deep.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Duty largely consists of pretending that the trivial is critical.

John Fowles

An army is a strange masterpiece of combination where force results from an enormous sum of impotence. Thus is war, made by humanity against humanity, despite humanity, explained.

Victor Hugo

I was a brownie for a day. My mom made me stop. She didn't want me to conform.

Sandra Bullock
