To the illumined man or woman, a clod of dirt, a stone, and gold are the same.
It's fantastic to strive towards a nice life where you eat nice organic food and your children go to a nice school and you can afford nice clothes and nice perfume and the hypoallergenic make-up.

LeVar Burton
Is this not the true romantic feeling not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.
Thomas Wolfe
War is cruelty, and none can make it gentle.
Gilbert Parker
The reason can only be this: heroic poetry depends on an heroic age, and an age is heroic because of what it is, not because of what it does.
Lascelles Abercrombie
A few honest men are better than numbers.
Oliver Cromwell
If you look at anybody who's had along career, if you look at the choices they've made - even if the movies haven't worked - they've always worked with great filmmakers.
Bradley Cooper
Listening to my regular favourites - Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and so on - I always feel, quite misguidedly, that nothing can be too bad if such beauty and brilliance exists in the world.
Jane Asher
I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentle-man and is nothing else.
I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken.
Necessity has no law.
Make the iron hot by striking it.
You have sat too long for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!
Unless you have been to boarding-school when you are very young, it is absolutely impossible to appreciate the delights of living at home.
Roald Dahl
Mr. Lely, I desire you would use all your skill to paint my picture truly like me, and not flatter me at all; but remark all these roughnesses, pimples, warts, and everything as you see me, otherwise I will never pay a farthing for it.
I need drama in my life to keep making music.
Eminem
I tell my environmental friends that they have won. Every issue we look at from an energy perspective is now also looked at from an environmental perspective.
Joe Barton
Let us not be deceived we are today in the midst of a cold war.
Bernard Baruch
The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.
Giotto di Bondone
I'm so unprofessional on set it's not even funny.
Katharine McPhee
I love romantic comedy, but I think you have to have another idea that you're chasing along with romantic comedy.
James L. Brooks
I think it's wrong that so many people pass on from this existence, and take all their knowledge with them.
Rex Hunt
Fame - a few words upon a tombstone, and the truth of those not to be depended on.
Christian Nestell Bovee
My friends say, 'Man you're going to have kids sleeping on pillowcases with your face on it! You're going to be on toothbrushes and magnets and stuff.' I guess now that I'm a dad, I'm thrilled about that.
Hugh Jackman
Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds.
Zig Ziglar
I'm still learning, and that's what life is about.
Cary Elwes
I may be alone in this, but I do sense the power of film, in that movies have the ability to literally change people's minds. That's pretty powerful stuff when you consider that.
Nicolas Cage
My dad knows the business, and he tells me I've got to do what's best for me.
Jamie Redknapp
I couldn't wait until I grew up. I used to look at my mom's stockings and put them on with her high heels and mess with my hair.
Florence Griffith Joyner
I'm not a bad driver. And I never will be because I took lessons when I was quite a boy. I never had to pass a test because there wasn't such a thing when I first started driving a motor car. So I didn't have to pass one.
Richard Murdoch
My dad had a church of 90 people when I was born. It was just, over the years it continued to grow.

I have never made fun of religion. Religion is something I don't even want to mess with, because I am really afraid of the clouds opening up and my being struck by lightning.
Alice Cooper
It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put - without delay, and with tenderness - back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.
Alice Walker
One reason we resist making deliberate choices is that choice equals change and most of us, feeling the world is unpredictable enough, try to minimise the trauma of change in our personal lives.
Hugh Mackay
If I am to be known for anything, I would like it to be for encouraging Canadians, for knowing a little bit about their daily, extraordinary courage. And for wanting that courage to be recognized.
Romeo LeBlanc
One tell-tale sign of a Wingnut: they always confuse partisanship with patriotism.

Courage: Great Russian word, fit for the songs of our children's children, pure on their tongues, and free.
Anna Akhmatova
There is only one thing more painful than learning from experience and that is not learning from experience.
