I get very nervous when I have to take my wedding ring off.
He is very dry but also very funny... I think people tend to feel odd when I do my act. Unless you are an ironic person, it's not a good place for you to be.
Colin Quinn
Education is a private matter between the person and the world of knowledge and experience, and has little to do with school or college.
Lillian Smith
Well, there's a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other.
Miguel de Cervantes
When asked, How do you write? I invariably answer, one word at a time.
Stephen King
The human heart dares not stay away too long from that which hurt it most. There is a return journey to anguish that few of us are released from making.
I'm actually reading 'World War Z' again! It's incredibly realistic and it's written as an oral history through interviews with different characters. Max Brooks wrote this book in so many different voices. There are about forty or so. It's incredible. When I finish 'World War Z' I'm going to go back and start again on the 'Game of Thrones' series.
Nathan Fillion
Those who have the ability to be grateful are the ones who have the ability to achieve greatness.
Steve Maraboli
I've had extraordinary good luck with my health, other than a broken elbow.
Hillary Clinton
To find the point where hypothesis and fact meet; the delicate equilibrium between dream and reality; the place where fantasy and earthly things are metamorphosed into a work of art; the hour when faith in the future becomes knowledge of the past; to lay down one's power for others in need; to shake off the old ordeal and get ready for the new; to question, knowing that never can the full answer be found; to accept uncertainties quietly, even our incomplete knowledge of God; this is what man's journey is about, I think.
You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
Samuel Johnson
For men tied fast to the absolute, bled of their differences, drained of their dreams by authoritarian leeches until nothing but pulp is left, become a massive, sick Thing whose sheer weight is used ruthlessly by ambitious men. Here is the real enemy of the people: our own selves dehumanized into the masses. And where is the David who can slay this giant?
The quick success was a bit strange to get used to.
Fiona Apple
You were born together, and together you shall be for evermore...But let there be spaces in your togetherness...Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not of the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Kahlil Gibran
Man, born of woman, has found it a hard thing to forgive her for giving him birth. The patriarchal protest against the ancient matriarch has borne strange fruit through the years.
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.
Aldous Huxley
To believe in something not yet proved and to underwrite it with our lives: it is the only way we can leave the future open. Man, surrounded by facts, permitting himself no surmise, no intuitive flash, no great hypothesis, no risk, is in a locked cell. Ignorance cannot seal the mind and imagination more surely.
I went to this restaurant last night that was set up like a bigbuffet in the shape of an Ouija board. You'd think about whatkind of food you want, and the table would move across the floorto it.
Steven Wright
In life, you have people that love to party. That's me. People that love God. That's me. People that love sex. That's me. People that love people. That's me. And people that make mistakes.That's me also.
R. Kelly
Rich folks always talk hard times.
Gossip is news running ahead of itself in a red satin dress.
Liz Smith
All writers are vain, selfish, and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives there lies a mystery. Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. For all one knows that demon is simply the same instinct that makes a baby squall for attention. And yet it is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one's own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane.
George Orwell
Hope is independent of the apparatus of logic.
Norman Cousins
Begin somewhere: you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
All great peoples are conservative.
Thomas Carlyle
When people keep telling you that you can't do a thing, you kind of like to try it.
Margaret Chase Smith
Every time you have to speak, you are auditioning for leadership.
James Humes
Those of us who shout the loudest about Americanism in making character assassinations are all too frequently those who, by our own words and acts, ignore some of the basic principles of AmericanismThe right to criticize. The right to hold unpopular beliefs. The right to protest. The right of independent thought.
Every genuine work of art has as much reason for being as the earth and the sun.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only place you find success before work is in the dictionary.
May V. Smith
War should be the only study of a prince. He should consider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes as ability to execute, military plans.
Niccolo Machiavelli
I am as my creator made me and since He is satisfied, so am I.
Minnie Smith
When Jesus Christ utters a word, He opens His mouth so wide that it embraces all Heaven and earth, even though that word be but in a whisper.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Scenery is fine - but human nature is finer.
John Keats
Agatha Christie has given more pleasure in bed than any other woman.
Nancy Banks Smith
America, which has the most glorious present still existing in the world today, hardly stops to enjoy it, in her insatiable appetite for the future.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Never trust the umpire.
Robert Smith
Ignorance gives one a large range of probabilities
George Eliot
Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Gilda Radner
True repentance has a double aspect. It looks upon things past with a weeping eye, and upon the future with a watchful eye.
My strength as an actor is in the theater - I know that about myself. Some actors get onstage and vanish, but I'm much better there than I am on screen.
