There's place and means for every man alive.
William Shakespeare

Leo Tolstoy
I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars. Imagine if each day a man must try to kill the moon. The moon runs away. But imagine if a man each day should have to try to kill the sun? We are born lucky. Yes, we are born lucky.
Ernest Hemingway
Acting is fun and I refuse to get involved in the semantics and the politics of strategy and breaking out of something or doing something because you need to do something else. For me it's all about what fuels my soul and if I'm passionate about a screenplay then that's what I'll do next.
Shailene Woodley
Everything great and intelligent is in the minority
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The eyes are not responsible when the mind does the seeing.
Publilius Syrus
It seems that a profound, impartial, and absolutely just opinion of our fellow-creatures is utterly unknown. Either we are men, or we are women. Either we are cold, or we are sentimental. Either we are young, or growing old. In any case life is but a procession of shadows, and God knows why it is that we embrace them so eagerly, and see them depart with such anguish, being shadows. And why, if this -- and much more than this is true -- why are we yet surprised in the window corner by a sudden vision that the young man in the chair is of all things in the world the most real, the most solid, the best known to us--why indeed? For the moment after we know nothing about him.Such is the manner of our seeing. Such the conditions of our love.
Virginia Woolf
Familiarity breeds contempt.
The person who receives the most favors is the one who knows how to return them.

There is a learning quality in all of our shows.
Trisha Goddard

Michael Morpurgo
'Peace Train' is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions. There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again.
Cat Stevens
She goes through the vale of death alone, each time a babe is born. As it is the right neither of man nor the state to coerce her into this ordeal, so it is her right to decide whether she will endure it.
Margaret Sanger
Death ends a life, not a relationship.
Jack Lemon
I'm not sad about any of my life. It's so unconventional. It doesn't look anything like I thought it would.

Casper Van Dien
As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
Orson Scott Card
My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects.
Robert M. Hutchins
Oscuridad, no me alcances aquÃ.
A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people's hope.
Christopher Hitchens
If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.
Arne Jacobsen
Why has government been instituted at all? Because the passions of man will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice without constraint.

Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.
A. E. Housman
The vast majority of us imagine ourselves as like literature people or math people. But the truth is that the massive processor known as the human brain is neither a literature organ or a math organ. It is both and more.
John Green
Vegas means comedy, tragedy, happiness and sadness all at the same time.
