Taste refers to the past, imagination to the future.
Mason Cooley
People tend to overstate my resilience, but, of course, I hope they're right.
David Brudnoy

Plato
I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music.
Taylor Swift
I didn't know my Dad - he moved out early. And my mom's politics were kind of hardscrabble. She didn't think about Democrats or Republicans. She thought about who made sense. I've been both in my life.
Dennis Miller
Jealousy - that jumble of secret worship and ostensible aversion.
Emile M. Cioran
Aesthetic matters are fundamental for the harmonious development of both society and the individual.

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!
Alexander Pope
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.

Robert Morgan
Things have never been more like the way they are today in history.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Medicine to produce health must examine disease and music, to create harmony must investigate discord.
Plutarch
One can decide that the principal role of knowledge is as an indispensable element in the functioning of society, and act in accordance with that decision, only if one has already decided that society is a giant machine.
Jean-Francois Lyotard
Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.
Margaret Fuller
Censorship is saying: 'I'm the one who says the last sentence. Whatever you say, the conclusion is mine.' But the internet is like a tree that is growing. The people will always have the last word - even if someone has a very weak, quiet voice. Such power will collapse because of a whisper.
Ai Weiwei
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Thomas Paine
If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.
William James
Our public school system is our country's biggest and most inefficient monopoly, yet it keeps demanding more and more money.
Phyllis Schlafly
The word 'funny' is a bit like the word 'love' - we don't have enough words to describe the many varieties.
George Saunders
It was either Voltaire or Charlie Sheen who said, 'We are born alone. We live alone. We die alone. And anything in between that can give us the illusion that we're not, we cling to.'
Gabriel Byrne
I care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think.

You cannot avoid war in life, you cannot avoid the fear of terrorism, you cannot avoid those things now, they are a part of everyday demeanor.
John Mayer
Yes, you can lose somebody overnight, yes, your whole life can be turned upside down. Life is short. It can come and go like a feather in the wind.
Shania Twain
I found myself very lost after 'The Partridge Family,' and I lost my dad and I lost my manager, and I lived in a bubble, and it took me 15 years to get through that and a lot of psychotherapy, and I'm laughing about it now!
David Cassidy
As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.

It is my art. I am better at it than I ever was. And I will do it as long as I can. When you reach a certain age you can slough off what is unnecessary and concentrate on what is. And why not?
Arthur Miller

Samuel Butler
I'm a nice, happily married wife and mom and I live in Connecticut.
Christine Baranski
This whole beauty thing is something I've never comprehended.
Pam Grier
One merit of poetry few persons will deny: it says more and in fewer words than prose.
Voltaire
Film and television are just different. Film is cool because it's a complete package. You know the beginning, middle, and end. You can plan it out more, which I like. But with television you get a new script every week, so it's constantly a mystery as to what you're going to be doing.
Austin Butler
