The first condition of understanding a foreign country is to smell it.
We cut these numerous windings in our destinies daily with our own hands, while we imagine that we are pursuing a track on the royal high road of respectability and duty, and then complain of those ways being so intricate and so dark. We stand bewildered before the mystery of our own making, and the riddles of life that we will not solve, and then accuse the great Sphinx of devouring us.
Helen P. Blavatsky
Your life begins to change the day you take responsibility for it.
Steve Maraboli
I would fix other people's lines if they asked me on occasion. The hard part of writing is the architecture of it, getting the story and structuring it. Not the tweaking of lines.
William Devane
Would you have wished more, or fewer, anarchists around in the Thousand Year Reich or any of the other fantasies of hierarchy?
Christopher Hitchens
All knowledge is ambiguous.
J. S. Habgood
I've had a few arguments with people, but I never carry a grudge. You know why? While you're carrying a grudge, they're out dancing.
Buddy Hackett
It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on-screen. I think of myself, and feel like I'm quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that.
Gene Hackman
I have read your book and much like it.
Moses Hadas
Thank you for sending me a copy of your book -- I'll waste no time reading it.
In my day, we didn't have self-esteem, we had self-respect... and no.
Jane Haddam
On the neck of a young man sparkles no gem so gracious as enterprise.
Hafiz
Talent is an amalgam of high sensitivity; easy vulnerability; high sensory equipment (seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting -- intensely); a vivid imagination as well as a grip on reality; the desire to communicate one's own experience and sensations, to make one's self heard and seen.
Uta Hagen
One day I sat thinking, almost in despair; a hand fell on my shoulder and a voice said reassuringly: cheer up, things could get worse. So I cheered up and, sure enough, things got worse.
James Hagerty
If you fell outward to the limit of the universe, would you find a board fence and signs reading DEAD END? No. You might find something hard and rounded, as the chick must see the egg from the inside. And if you should peck through that shell (or find a door), what great and torrential light might shine through your opening at the end of space? Might you look through and discover our entire universe is but part of one atom on a blade of grass? Might you be forced to think that by burning a twig you incinerate an eternity of eternities? That existence rises not to one infinite but to an infinity of them?
Stephen King
God is concerned with nations, but nations also need to be concerned with God. No nation can have a monopoly on God, but God will bless any nation whose people seek and honor His will as revealed by Christ and declared through the Holy Spirit.
John Haggai
The only way God could impose peace on the world would be to robotize our wills and rob every human being of the power of choice. He has not chosen to do that. He has given every person a free will.
The leader seeks to communicate his vision to his followers. He captures their attention with his optimistic intuition of possible solutions to their needs. He influences them by the dynamism of his faith. He demonstrates confidence that the challenge can be met, the need resolved, the crisis overcome.
... a book indeed sometimes debauched me from my work....
Benjamin Franklin
Gather in your resources, rally all your faculties, marshal all your energies, focus all your capacities upon mastery of at least one field of endeavor.
We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear those words I say to myself, That man is a Red, that man is a Communist. You never heard a real American talk in that manner.
Frank Hague
I've always been at war with myself, for right or wrong.
Brad Pitt
One might say, for example, that a patient has a kind of St Vitus's dance; a kind of dropsy; a kind of nerve fever; a kind of ague. One would never say, however (to end once and for all the confusion of these names) He has St. Vitus's dance, He has nerve fever, He has dropsy, He has ague, since there simply are not any fixed, unchanging diseases to be known by such names.
Samuel Hahnemann
I try to just communicate what I want done as clearly and simply as possible.
Dick Wolf
I'm famous by default. I came out of the womb, and people wanted to know who I was because of my parents.
Frances Bean Cobain
We must rekindle the fire of idealism in our society.
Joe Biden
Isn't post-modernism really one big cover-up for the failure of the French to write a truly interesting novel ever since a sports car ate ?
Albert Camus
My Daddy liked physical fitness and wanted me to be a prizefighter.
Judy Johnson
Will smiled the way Lucifer might have smiled, moments before he fell from Heaven.
Cassandra Clare
Gifts burst rocks
McVeigh's lawyer got him the death penalty, which, quite frankly, I could have done.
Jon Stewart
Sudden success in golf is like the sudden acquisition of wealth. It is apt to unsettle and deteriorate the character.
P. G. Wodehouse
The victim mindset produces a delusion of fault
Well, then I'll die.' Sooner than other people, obviously. But everybody knows that life isn't worth living. And when it came down to it, I wasn't unaware of the fact that it doesn't matter very much whether you die at thirty or at seventy since, in either case, other men and women will naturally go on living, for thousands of years even. Nothing was plainer, in fact. It was still only me who was dying, whether it was now or in twenty years' time.
What affects one in a major way, affects all in a minor way.
Martin Luther King Jr.
In words as fashions the same rule will hold,Alike fantastic if too new or old:Be not the first by whome the new are tried,Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
William Shakespeare
There's a consistency in my work that pops up independent of the limitations of the technology.
Douglas Trumbull
A child thinks 20 shillings and 20 years can scarce ever be spent.
...governments don't produce economic growth people do.
Ronald Reagan
I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.
Amy Winehouse
Good acting is all in the writing. If it isn't on the page, then it really won't make any difference. You cannot act on force of personality alone.
